Prof. George Il. Boyer, Of Tulane
university. New Orleans. has Just re-
turned from his explorations Of the 90
called Indian MOUNDS along the ked
river. and between that stream and the
Mississippi. in Franklin. Naichitoehea'
and other nelghboring parishes. which
he investigated for Tulane university
and the Louisiana Historical society.
He was able 10 distinguish the several
layers OF Garth. shell and clay deposited
AZ different times. and TO demonstrate
a greater antiquity for the mounds
than had been supposed-an antiquity
OF AZ least 900 years. The skeletons
and implements discovered proved fur
Their that the inhabitants Of these
mounds we're not Of the race OF the
ordinary red Indians who were found
there By the French and Spanish eK-
plorers. but race akin to the AEiecs
or Toletics. OF a more peaceful dispose.
tlon than the neighboring Indians. and
originally more civilized. They had
apparently been forced into the great
swamps by the surrounding Indian
tribes. and their civilization had de-
Perforated under the unfavorable con-
dltlons in which they lived
Prof. Beyer's later explorations con-
I armed his former Oneg. or rather show
I'd that there were two varieties OF
mounds IN the country he explored,
one variety on the higher land. ap-
parentiy erected by Indians, and used
mainly for burial purposes. the other
built by a more ancient race. and con-
tanning skulls OF the same kind as
those found in CatahCula. The Indian
mounds contained a iargo number Of
skeletons with heads distinciiyely M
dian. arrows. tomahawks. etc. The
other mounds were IN the swampa or
axes. like those OF Mexico. sIch lakes
were once abundant along The Red riy-
or. but nearly all have been drained
dry to-day By the removal Of the Red
river raft The nDmb,r OF these
mounds fairly staggered Prof. Boyer.

les at the Meeting.
CUBA WAS NOT MENTIONED
Indications That the President VIII
Take Up Consular Appointments
Before Very Long-A Magnificent
Train to Convey Him and Mrs. Nc
Kinley to Philadelphia.

The Cabinet meeting this morning was
not Cuban affair. Two members
taries Bliss and Alger-were not present
and this. perhaps. prevented any decisive
action on Cuban matters The tariff and
financial matters were considered TO the
exclusion Of almost everything else. The
tariff is receiving large amount of atten-
ton at the White House end OF the Avenue
recently
Secretary Gage called 1T the White House
last night late, and had long conversa-
ton with the President on tariff. Repre-
sentative Dingley's call was on the sUme
subject.
There Is q fine special train for the trip
to Philadelphia tomorrow. The President
will have President Thomas private car
There will be another for such members OF
the Cabinet are able to go, a third one
for Senators and Representatives,, and also
Il car for the ministers Of the South Amer
ican republics. The President will be aC-
compauied by Mrs. Mckinney The train
leaves Washington at 'cleck tomorrow
morning The party Will return tomorrow
night.
The matter OF consular appointments
naturally arouses much interest, on account
OF the great number OF applicants from
all over the country. Even the slightest
indication of the Presidents ideas with
regard TO these places is noted with feyerish
anxiety by every applicant.
1t seems probable that President Nc
Kinley is beginning to recognize the fact
-
be no surprise at the White House if a
good many such nominations were TO come
out before long.
Senators Platt and Proctor called at the
White House this morning in the interest Of
two consular candidates, Mr.. Deal, OF
Plattsburg, n. Y, and Mr. d. ]. Vail, OF
Orwell, Vt. Mr. Vail wants to go TO
Three Rivers, Canada, and Mr.. Deal chooses
st. Johns.
Senator Spooner was also at the White
House on some OF his many consular job
errands.
Senator Thurston calledtoday with Major
J. T Wcrts OF Nebraska, and Mr. George
c. Reed, Of New Mexico, but formerly
Of Senator Thurston's state. Mr. Reed
Reed wishes to be surveyor general OF
New Mexico. Interest is increasing In the
patronage situation in the Territory. Since
the death Of the former governor, two
months ago there being no lieutenant gov
ernor, the secretary OF the Territory has
been acting governor, and the Republicans
are naturally more and more expectaut
every day. tits thought that something VIII
be done very soon. The other positions are
also much sought after,
Congressman w. A. Stone, OF Pennsyl-
vania, introduced to the President this
morning Mr.. Henry A Heinz, the pickle
manufacturer, and DR.. Wood, Metho-
dist clergyman, who wishes to be super
intcndent of an Indian school
The Kentucky delegation paid its regu-
lar call, Senator Deboe, DR.. Hunter and
Congressman Evans all bringing men,

CHINA And EARTHENWARE
Committee Amendment to the Tariff
Bill Is Withdrawn.
Motion Striking From the schedule
Clock Cases With or Without
Movements.

Senator Aldrich, on calling up tie tariff
bll in the Senate today, reverted back TO
the consideration " paragraphs 80 and 81,
rela, .Dg To china, porcelain, parian, b'sque,
earthen. stone ard crockery ware. Seua-
tor Aldrich announced tie withdrawal OF
the committee amendment, and reported
the House schedule instead The Senator
from Rhode Island rad one amendment,
however. The schedule provided for
duty OF So per centum ad valoreIn on
decorated articles and 50 per cent on IN
finished goods.
Mr. Aldrich moved to strike from the
schedule clock cases, with or without move
rnents Senator Jones moved to amend
the duties 50 as to provide 80 per cent
instead Of SO and 80 per cent instead OF
90 He called the yeas and nays on the
amendments which were not agreed to.
The committee amendment to para graph
81 relating to crCckery ware was also
withdra WI and /mendmcnts similar to those
proposed to paragraph 90 were offered by
Senator Jones, making the duty 35 and
so per cent instead of SO ana 90, re-
tie rates he offered are the same as now
existing under the prevailing tariff hin.
Senator Jones read an article from
trade journal slowing the protection to
the crockery industry by a 80 per cent
duty. He declared that the proposition TO
increase the duty TO so per cent was to
enable the manufacturers to double their
prices if they desired to do SO, Other
statements showing prosperity in the
crockery trade under the Wilson bin were
read by the Senator from Arkansas.
Senator Sewell OF New Jersey replied
to the remarks Of Senate Jones. He de-
ciared that an attempt'had been made to
secure q committee amendment favorable
10 both a compound and ad yalorem duty.
The committee made such report, but in
view of the attack made uponit the COM
mittee had withdrawnthea amendments and
the schedule is now as it came from the
House.
