PROF. LIBBY'S SCHEME.
Princeton University Man to Hunt for
an Extinct Race.


BAYONNE, N. J., June 6.-Prof. William
Libby, jr., of PRINCETON University, will
leave for Albuquerque, N. NJ. early in July
with a party of six explorers. Their plan
is to attempt to scale relatively rectan-
gular table land shaped like figure 49,"
with perpendicular sides seyen hundred
feet high. The outcroppings of red sand
stone project from the face of the walls,
making it almost inaccessible. There are
indications of occupancy by a prehistoric
race in the fragments of pottery at the base
of the formation. Professor Libby has ar
ranged to throw a line over this table land,
which is several acres in extent on top, by
means of the tandem kites with which ex-
periments were conducted here yesterday
by William A. Eddy, who sent up three
large kites, which were maintained some
time in the air, although the wind was too
light for a satisfactory experiment. Prof.
Libby has a mortar and life line packed
ready for shipment, with which an attempt
will be made to fire a line over the table
land in case the wind is too light for the
kites. Larger lines will be dragged over
and the ascent made in a boatswain's
chair.
The table land can be approached on all
sides and is surrounded by a plain, but so
far as known it has never been scaled
Some cliff dwellings have been seen along
it's edges aloft. Mr. Eddy says that the
top of the table land can be photographed
by means of his midair kite camera.

LONDON, June THE Paris corre-
spondent of the Times says: THE scene in
the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday dur
ing the Jaures incident, when NJ. Brisson.
president of the Chamber, suspended the
sitting and sent for the military guard to
remove NJ. Richard, the Socialist deputy
who had referred to some of his colleagues
as police spies was enc of unwonted
scandal and violence. M. Brisson, after
business was resumed, declined to hear
Jaures, who interpellated the government
on what he called an attempt to muzzle a
deputy basng his refusal on the ground
that no notice of Interpolation had been
given.
"A furious uproar followed. NJ. Brisson
was pale with anger, but kept himself well
under control. Never in the bitterest in
vective employed against an Opportunist
minister by demagogues of the Extreme
Left was there greater violence than in the
language of which Nj. Brisson who owes
his seat largely to the Socialist vote, was
the unjust object.
'Bas, Brisson! 'Canaille de Brisson!'
Mort a Brissonr
Miserable reactionary you will never be
president-traitor that you are! old ras-
CAL resign, resign!
These are fair samples of the epithets
which the entire Socialist party, standing
on the floor of the Chamber, hurled at the
president, While he, unable to maintain or
der, brought the sitting to an abrupt close.
Never has a maddened minority exerted
more tyrannical power to humiliate a rep
resentative body. 1t is this element of hu-
initiation that made the scene so unuttera-
bly, painful and suggestive"
Monsieur Thomson and Monsieur Mirman,
members of the Chamber of Deputies, fought
a duel to-day, growing out of an article
written by the latter attacking Monsieur
Thomson. Monsieur Mirman was slightly
wounded in the forearm. The latter is
radical Socialist and gained considerable
notoriety through his protest against being
confined in the barracks as a conscript dur
ing the election of president to succeed
Casimir-Perier.

A General Surprise.

LONDON, June Z. - The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times says: THE solution
of the crisis is a general surprise, as much,
perhaps, in ministerial ranks as in the
world at large 1t was thought, not without
reason, that the 'counsels of the higher mill
tary authorities, as represented by Marshal
Campos, Marshal Blanco and Marshal Do
minguez, would have inclined the crown
toward radical and distinct change of
policy in the Cuban campaign. This idea
was especially prevalent, as Senor Canovas
has himself admitted that, both as regards
reforms and the conduct of the war by
Captain General Weyler, his own hopes and
aspirations have scarcely been fulfilled.
"The only explanation is that the first
thought of the premier is to vindicate his
amour propre,' SO far as the Liberals are
concerned, and, when this is esta ablished
to find occasion at an early date so to modi-
fly the Cabinet as to satisfy the Liberals
and to terminate the deadlock before the
Cortes reassembles, which will probably not
be for several months. 1t can hardly be
doubted that the notifications would in
clude the replacing OF Captain General
Weyler by some other commander

THE MARK OF w. j. BRYAN
ON THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY UNTIL
THE CONVENTION OF 1900.
Chicago Platform, However, Not to
Figure in New York Elections
Warning to Free SiIverites.

ALBANY, n. Y, June 6.-The Demo-
cratic party will not force national issues
in the various local campaigns and cleo
tions in this State this fall, and while re-
pudation Of the Chicago platform will not
be allowed, it will not be brought forward
as an issue paramount to anything else.
That is the statement of National Com
mitteeman Frank Campbell of Bath Mr..
Campbell was in the city tonight, fresh
from conference with a party leader, and
said
THE policy of the Democratic party of
the Nation, as laid down in the platform
of the Chicago convention Of 1896, cannot
be disturbed until the next Democratic
national convention, which will be held in
1900. 1t will make no difference whether
state, city or county conventions indorse
it or repudiate it, 1t will stand unaltered.
In the election last fall the regular organ
ization of the State of New York was loyal
and true to the nominees and platform of
the Chicago convention The same organi-
zation heartily supported Mr.. Cleveland
date for President, although three dele
gates were opposed to him in the national
convention. l believe in home rule If
the Democrats of the city of New York,
Buffalo or Rochester deem it expedient and
local elections without injecting into them
state or national issues, | believe they
have a perfect right to do SO, without in
reference Of any state or national COM
mittee.
Democrats WINS In the State, outside
of the city of New York. are looking
anxiously for the election Of a Democratic
mayor for Greater New York. If this
could be- accomplished it will encourage
the rank and file of the party and enable
the organization to get into fighting shape
for the important state election that is to
take place year from this fall, when
Governor, state officers and Legislature are
to be elected. If we carry Greater New
York and elect these officers next year then
the party will be in shape with a fair
chance Of placing New York State in the
Democratic column in 1900.
"As the representative of the regular or
ganization of New York on the national
committee, I can state that so far as 1
know the national committee has no desire
to interfere in New York State in its local
elections this fall or to dictate to the
Democracy of New York what their issues
should be in these elections.

WILL JOIN THE STRIKE.
Cloak Makers to the Number of 10000
to Assist the TaiIOrs.

NEW YORK, June 6.-The United Broth
erhood of Cloak Makers had q busy day.
Secret meetings were held in assembly
rooms scattered through the East Side to
organize the 1900 cloak makers IN New
York and vicinity preliminary to a strike.
Secretary Braff, of the organization, said
to-day that there are now 5000 enrolled
members in the union, and that in less than
a week he expects all will have joined.
There are about 1900 organized women,
who will be affected If the strike goes into
effect on schedule time.
"A few weeks ago." said Mr.. Braff,
there were only 800 cloakmakers organ
lied. Now there are 5000. After the great
lockout of 1889 the trade organized in
a week or two and the cloak fna>tIs were
able to command better conditions. They
began to earn $18 week but prosperity
made them careless and they were drifting
back"

hood of Tailors will be reached Tuesday,

DIAMOND ROBBERY FAKE.
Nizam of Hyderabad Has Not Lost His
$2,OOO,0OO Jewel.

LONDON, June THE premier of Hyder-
abad telegraphs to the London papers this
morning that the story, widely circulated
to the effect that the Imperial diamond. the
property of the Nizam of Hyderabad. had
been stolen, is pure fiction The original
story represented that the thief had re-
placed the imperial jewel with a clever sub
stitute, and that the imposture was for a
long time successful.
The Imperialist is the largest brilliant in
the world, weighs $50 carats and has az
faces. II was sold to the nizam in 1881
through Alexander Jacob for 81 600 900
though this sum was very much in excess
of its real value. The transaction gave
rise to complicated litigation, the Indian
government authorities objectng to so
large an outlay by the nizam for a mere
luxury

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Every day yields
a new sensation in the shape of an alleged
inspired" statement of President McKin-
ley's Cuban policy or fake interview with
a purely imaginary highest authority
foreshadowing the White House programme
with the greatest particularity To-day's
sensation along these lines, spread half way
across the front page of a New York pa
per, represented the President as having
fully decided to force the issue by first Of
fering (and that right away to mediate
for Cuban peace, and in the event of
Spains refusal of his tender. (which he
looks for" to discharge a volley of ulti-
matums declaring that this bloody war
must STOP" and other patriotic exclama-
tions. In order that he may be sure of
the cooperation of Congress he is quoted
as having unfolded his plans to Republican
leaders in the Senate and House. To-mor-
row the same paper will have another
scare-head story describing how the fake
shook Washington to its foundations.
To show how Congress is worked up over
this Cuban business and on the qui vive
for trouble with Spain it may be mentioned
that neither the Senate nor the House is
paying the slightest attention TO Secretary
Longs urgent appeal, made several days
the rehabilitation of the now useless Brook
lyn dry dock, which is the only one on the
Atlantic coast where man-of-War can go
for repairs. 1t would take sixty days to
put this dry dock in order, and, as two
thirds of our war vessels would have to be
overhauled before going into action, our
whole coast would be at the mercy of the
Spanish fleet in the event of a sudden rue
ton. There is a large percentage of bluff
and buster in this congressional fee-fo-
fumming for Spanish blood and a very small
percentage of belief that anything serious
will come of it all.

tary Gage will not tolerate the scheme
here, however.
An attempt will be made it is said, to
force the adoption by the Republican state
convention of Ohio of redhot Cuban res
olution and a steamng protest against the
civil-scrvice system as it now exists. This
move is understood to be without White
House or Hanna approval.

diplomatic proceedings. Officers on board
the Japanese cruiser Naniwai, now at Hon

ofwar is now en- route to Honolulu ana
that a third vessel is about to depart from
Yokohoma for the islands Mrs Shimamu-
ra, the wife of the Japanese minister here,
has arranged to leave for Japan on June ..
The intended departure caused rumor in
Honolulu to the effect that the minister
would soon follow her. He admitted that
he was dissatisfied with the answer of the
Hawaiian government in regard to the i'm
migrant controversy, and gave close friends
to understand that unless a reply satisfac-
tory TO him were made he would depart for
Toxic thereby severing diplomatic relations
between japan and Hawaii

in the former were Senior Sagasta, the pres

pursued with regard to Cuban affairs and
the incumbency of Captain General Weyler
Secretary Sherman also received a long

The secretary declined to make any state

to suggest that it indicated the confidence
Of the Queen in the Ministry.
