Animals in Australia,

and the equally remarkable absence of al
most al. mammalian types that are not
marsupial in character, have given to its
fauna an interest and importance which
have in way been diminished by the
discovery, few years ago, that two of its
quadrupeds-the duck-bill or ornithorhyn-
chus and y-hedgehog-brought forth
their young, in the manner of birds and
reptiles, from laid eggs. OF the special
conditions which surrounded this fauna
comparatively little was known before the
geological explorations of the last year,
and even today our knowledge is restrict ed
to special areas of the continent In a
summary Of the result of researches made
by the Horn expedition, which has just
been published, Prof. Baldwin Spencer of
the University of Melbourne furnishes the
following pen picture of the animal life
of the land.
The permanent fauna, he states, may be
divided into two groups. the first contain
Ing those animals which can always be
found during the. dry season. the second
containing those which only appear during
the short wet season. The collector who
sets to work In the dry season Is first of
all struck with the fact that there ia a
wonderful poverty of animal life except
SO far as regards ants, flies, grasshoppers
and certain beetles. birds and lizards. He
naturally misses almost all forms of life
associated with well-wooded districts or
with the sheltered pools of permanent
rivers. and he readily appreciates the in
fiuence Of a climatic barrier.
After turning over every available stick
and hundreds of stones and finding no trace
of moisture he realizes how impossible 1t is
for creatures. such as land planarians or
Peripatus or even the widespread land Am
phipod to exist in such region. Next he
becomes wearied with the unsuccessful
search after insects or Towering shrubs,
and day after day he finds the same forms
of life. Every water hole, every long plain
or sandhill yields q wearying, monotonous
and small series Of animals. until he begins
to realize that the fauna is characterized
species Of the coastal districts and the
presence Of q relatively few dominant spe-
cies which are evidently capable Of adapt
ing themselves to conditions Of the most
unfavorable description for animal life. In

a BANKERS TRUE OPINION.

Mr.. J. S. Case, cashier of the Second
National bank of New York, in reply to
a private letter from Dr.. E. P. Miller,
of New York, expressed himself as fol-
lows:
sit seems to me that bimetallism fur
nishes an elastic standard, the standard
not being in either metal, but in the
established ratio between the two
metals. Therefore the elastic ratio
forms the standard, and the metals are
the material between which the one
standard only exists, and a standard
exists because of the compensatory
movements of the two metals.
"The value of an ounce of gold is
now fixed by a fat of parliament in
1884 compelling the Bank of England
to receive all gold brought to it and to
pay therefor Is lis. Cd. per ounce.
When the minis of the world we're
closed TO the free coinage of silver by
fats of the nations the fixing of the
value of silver fell to about five firms
of London bankers, who meet daily in
London and fix the market price of
that metal.
"If these firms had the power of Par
liamentary fiat TO fix the price of sill
yer they could make that price greater
than the Bank of England price for
gold if they desired.
stopping the free coinage of silver
destroyed a large part of the demand
for that metal and necessarily caused
q fall in its value.
international bimetallism is practi-
cable, simply because all its amounts to
is the fixing of Ealne and an absolute
market for both metals by the impor-
tant nations of the world, just as a
market and value are fixed for gold.
Twenty Cripple Creek mines get out
dollars worth Of gold at a cost Of p
cents per dollar. There is no natural
value to gold"

The engines were started on the main
track and ran together on a siding at
the park. Both engines were started
at the same time, the engineers jump
ing after opening the thrOttles.
The collision occurred at 4:10 p. m,
the engines meeting within about 100
feet of the calculated point.
The immense crowd was silent with
awe as the engines steamed into sight,
each running at the rate of 40 miles
an hour.
There was q terrific crash and a roar
Of escaping steam as the engines came
together and they reared up in the air.
The cars behind them we're teiescoped
but the cabOoses were only partly
wrecked.
AS the clouds of dust and steam OBJ
scured the wreck, there was tremen-
dous shout; then, when the escaping
of steam subsidized the people clamOred
over the wreckage and every loose bit
of iron that could be found was carried
away as relics.
Both engines we're a complete wreck.

WHAT MKINLEYIsM MEANS.

Why is not the argument of protec-
tionists that the building of manufac-
tories in this country gives a home
market for farm products and there
fore benefits the farmer true under
present conditions? Because on fall
ing prices no new manufacturing es-
Establishments of any consequence will
be or can be established. It would be
ruinous to attempt it. The conse-
quence is that the old established
manufactures Of the northeast, gener-
ally in combinations and trusts, have
and will continue to have complete
monopoly of manufacturing. New es-
adjustments and home markets can
not be extended to the newer and less
densely populated sections of the
union, besides, the gold standard gives
all silver standard countries 100 per
cent advantage in the difference of ex-
change over the unprotected indus
tries of the United States. The gold
standard also depends for its mainten-
ance upon the sale of farm products in
Europe in competition with silver
standard countries. Under these con-
ditions it is plain silver standard coun-
tries are protected under our gold
standard system against the farmers
and planters of the United States and
all other producers of unprotected
commodities, while those farmers and
planters are compelled to bear ali the
burdens of selling their products to
buy gold for gold gamblers. If Nc
Kinleyism should result in a prohibi-
tory tariff, it would compel the farm
ers and planters to buy Of the protect
ed monOpolists of the United States at
greatly advanced prices, while the gold
standard part of the Mckinley creed
would compel the farmers and planters
of the United States to sell their pro-
ducts as low as they could be produced
by the coolies of the old world. In
other words, McKinleyism means
American coolies to take the place OF
Asiatio coolies, and goldbug American
mOnopOlists to take the place of the
aristocracy of Europe.-Silver Knight

PETTsBUBG, Pa, May 28.-The prohi-

mated for president Joshua Il. Lever
ing of Maryland, and for Vice-president
Hale johnson of Illinois. The free
silver plank was rejected and the can
didates we're placed upon a platform
embodying merely the principle OF
prohibition and even emitting the
woman suffrage plank which has been
a feature of its platform for years past.
Ex-Governor John P. st. John, second
ed by nearly all the western delegates,

having been bursted by the OVerwhelm-
ing defeat of the silver forces at the
afternoon session. It was long after
midnight before the last business was
concluded and the convention ad-
journed.
The "brOad gauge" element organized
a rump convention in another hall.

Ex-Gov. John P. st. John was called
On for speech. In the course of his
remarks he said: "Our object is to de-
termine where We are at. The crucial
moment has come and we must decide
whether we are to be ruled by the

or not. Liquor is a great question; so
is monetary oppression. Iwould rather

The new party then was named the
National party, and its motto "Home

authorized to appoint two members
from each state to form national
central committee. It was decided to
appoint committee of five to visit the
national democratic, republican and
populist conventions and invite ali
dissatisfied persons to unite with the
National party.
The platform is practically the broad
gauge platform reported at the pro-
hibition convention, with less of the
prohibition feature. 1t declares for

COLUMBUS, o., May 30-The 10000
people who gathered at Buckeye park
this afternoon have pretty well de-

is like. Two Acton locomotives, to
each of which was attached three coal
cars and a cabOose, we're run together
at a speed of 40 miles an hour. AS one
of the engines was a little faster than
the other preliminary trials of speed
we're made so as to bring the collision
at a certain point.

| to-day on the railway from Llanberris,
at the foot of Mount Snowden, the high
est mountain in Wales, to the top of
that mountain.
The railway was inaugurated to-day.
The first train reached the summit with
out mishap, but, when returning, the
engine jumped from the track on a part
of the line where the gradient was the
steepest. The engine went over a
precipice and was smashed to pieces
AS it left the rails the coupling broke,
and it was this alone that prevented a
frightful accident. The engineer and
stoker jumped from the engine, and es-
capped.
The cars started down the grade at a
tremendous speed, but, as fortunately
they were supplied with the most pow
erful brakes they were checked in their
speed and finally brought to a stand
still.
In the meantime some of the persons
aboard the train lost their heads, and,
without needing the warning to them
jumped from the cars. They were all
severely injured.
From cause not yet made clear, a
second train that was descending from
the mountain crashed into the rear of
the runaway train and smashed a car
into kindling-wood. Just prior to the
crash the occupants of the car had

ATHLETIC GAMES At ATHENS.
AMERICANS THE VICTORS II
SEVERAL EVENTS,
Despite the Fact That They Have Beer
There But Short Time and
Were without Practice.

ATHENS, April 6.-To-day began
the 776th Olympiad in which athletes
from several countries participated.
The Americans who took part in games
were the victors in several of the
events despite the fact that they have
been here a very short time, and had
not practiced after their long ocean
voyage.
The weather was mild, but cloudy.
Early in the morning it was feared
the games would have to be postponed
because of rain that fell yesterday, but
it was decided that the grounds at the
stadion were in sufficiently good con-
dition to allow of the opening events
taking place.
More than 10000 people We're admit
ted to the stadion, including the King
of Greece, the Duke of Sparta the
Crown Prince and other members of
the royal family, the members of the
diplomatic corps and many other
prominent persons. These 10000
however, were not the only ones
who witnessed the games. The sta
dion has no roof, and on each side of
it rise hills from which a good view
can be had within the walls. These
hills were fairly black with specta-
tors, thousands of whom were too poor
to pay admission, but who were de-
termined to see the revival of the
ancient Greek festival.
The sight was a remarkable one,
and seldom has such interest and en-
thusiasm been displayed over any re-
cent event in the Grecian Capital.
The Americans who took part in to-
days events appeared to be in excel
lent form, and they won their victories
with apparent ease. For the discus
throwing the following Americans
were entered: Captain Robert Gar
rett of Princeton University and Ellery
Clark of Harvard, a member of the
Boston Athletic Association Garrett
won. Garrett's throw was considered
something phenomenal by the specta-
tors. He threw the discus %. II
meters, defeating the Greek champion.
Paraskevopoulos (Ouch). by 10 cent?
metres.
The first heat of the 100 metres race
was won by F. w. Lane of Princeton
in II 1-5 seconds. Szokoly. a Hun
garian, was second. The. second heat
was won by T. p. Curtis of the Bos-
ton Atnletlc ASSOCIATION, whose time
was u 10 seconds. NJ. Chalkokondy-
lis. an Athenian, was second The
third heat was won by T. E. Burke of
the Boston Athletic Association in III
seconds. Hoffman, a German. was
second. In the hop-step-and- jump
James B. Connolly, a member of the
Suffolk Athletic Club, covered 13 7-1O
metres. Tufferi, Frenchman, was
second.
In the first heat of the 400 metres
race III. B. Johnson of Princeton was
first and the German, Hoffman, sec
ond. The second heat was won by
Burne, an Englishman, with Gimoly
second. The first heat of the 500
metre race was won by F'rlack, an
Austrian. Lermusiaux, Frenchman.
won the second heat.
The winners in the several events
were cordially applauded Everything
passed off without hitch, and the re-
vival of the games has been most sue
cessful. All the finals will be run Fri
day.
