WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Representa-

a joint resolution directing the presi-
dent to demand of the Spanish authori-

to liberty of every American citizen,
native born or naturalized, now impris-
Oned by them in the island of Cuba, and
that in support of that demand the pres
ident is authorized and directed to ac-
company it by the presence of a suffi-
cient number of United States ships of
war to make that demand good.
And if it is not granted within "a
hours that the city of Havana, and if
need be other ports of Cuba, be bonn
barded until it is complied with fully,

THE ANIMALS SUFFER.
Curious Accounts of the Ravages OF
the Plague In bombay.


the Plague In bombay.
Evidence of the intensity and viru-
lence of the plague in Bombay is given
by the curious accounts telegraphed to
this country of the deaths of animals
from the pestilence. Some weeks ago
it was reported that the pigeons were
dying of the plague. Now the rats are
said for some time to have been plague
stricken, and to be dying in thousands
in the native towns.
If those who are fighting the plague
have time to attend to anything but
the work of saving human life, we may
expect more curious information on
this point; for there is evidence that,
when the plague was at it's very worst
in Florence, causing the death of 60DO0
persons, the pestilence acquired some
kind of. cumulative energy by which it
went on from man to animal, and at
last involved the latter in common de-
struction with their masters. AS it ad-
vanced mot only men but animals fell
sick and shortly expired, if they had
touched things belonging to the dis
eased or dead" Boccaccio himself saw
two hogs on the rags of person who
had died of plague, after staggering
about for short time, fall down dead,
as if they had taken poison.
In the "Lives of the Roman Pontiffs"
it is stated that in other places multi
tudes Of cats, dogs, fowls and other ami
mails fell victims to the contagion.
There is little doubt that the concur
renee of human and animal death took
place in other countries than Italy,
though the chronicler, appalled, by the
loss of human life, only alludes to ''mur-
rain" among the cattle as a concomitant
of the plague. "At the commencement
of the black death there was in Eng
land" says Hecker, IAN abundance of
all the necessities of life; but the plague,
which seemed to be the sole disease,
was soon accompanied by fatal muir
rain among the cattle. Wandering
about without herdsmen, they fell by
thousands" 1t is not known whether
this murrain was due to plague itself
or to some special animal epidemic. But
it did not break out until after the
plague was rife, and added enormously
to the loss of life, because it was i'm
possible to remove the corn from the
fields, causing everywhere a great rise
in the price of food, although the har-
vest had been plentiful.-London Spec
tator.

LOST FOR 1000 YEARS.
A Great Find OF the Highly Prized
Thessalian Marble.

The uuarries from which the an
clients obtained their highly-prized
Thessalian or verd marble have been
discovered, and are again being worked
by an English company. The quarries,
which have been lost for more than
1000 years, are in the neighborhood OF
Larissa, in Thessaly, Greece. The an
cient workings are very extensive, there
being no fewer than ten quarries, each
producing a somewhat different de-
scription of marble, proving without a
doubt that every variety of this marble
found in the ruined palaces and
churches of Rome and Constantinople.
and likewise in all the mosques and
museums of the world came originally
from these duarries. In fact, the very
quarry from which the famous mono
liths of st. Sophia, Constantinople, were
obtained can be identified with abso-
lutte certainty by the matrices from
which they were extracted.
In modern times verd antico marble
has only been obtainable by the de-
struction of some ancient work, and it
has, naturally, commanded extraordi-
narily high prices. AS a consequence,
number of ordinary modern green's OF
Greek, French, italian and American
origin have been described and sold as
yerd antique marble. No one, however,
who is really acquainted with the dis
tinctive character of the genuine ma
-terial could be deceived by these in
ferior marbles. Thessalian green is
easily distinguished from any other
green marble by the following charac-
teristics: 1t is "breccia" of angular
fragments of light and dark green,
with pure statuary white, the whole be-
ing cemented together with brighter
green, while the snow white patches
usually have their edges tinted off with
a delicate fibrous green, radiating to
the center of the white. The cement
ing material is also of the same fbrous
structure Philadelphia Record.

many relaxed it's efforts to obtain mar

1898, the Legislature chartered com

T,ehiph River. This work was completed
in 1902 and the coal company renewed
their efforts to bring their products to
market. In 1903 six boats, each contain
ing 100 tons of coal, started from Maucn
Chunk for Philadelphia. Four OF the
boats came to grief on the way and two
of them reached the city of Brotherly

sold to the municipal authorities, who
were then working steam boiler to pump
water into tanks for the use OF the city.
But all attempts to burn the coal failed
and it was broken up and scattered over
