Senator Pettigrew Proposes to Urge Radi-
cal Action on the Tariff bill
WASHINGTON, March "a. = Senator
Pettigrew, of South Dakota, has cut
loose from the republicans who elected
him, has no love for the democrats and
win not attach himself to the popu-
lists, Consequently he Is in just
the humor to create trouble. His
plan for introducing discord into re-
publican senatorial ranks Is TO propose
an amendment to the tariff bill to
admit free of duty all articles which
enter into ''trnsR production or con-

WASHINGTON, March a. The gov
eminent board of managers of the Ma
tional Home for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers met here yesterdaysin annual
session. Preparatory action was taken
for the erection of new branch home
at Danville, Ill, for which an .appro-
priation OF 100000 will become avail
able shortly. The board also provided
for the distribution of the appropria-
ton in aid of the homes in the 28 states
maintaining such institutions. The
last appropriation Of congress for the
maintenance of the national home and
its seven branches for the year ending
July /, 1893, and the construction of
the Danville branch was S2,5O3, GAG.
The Arbitration Treaty.
WASHINGTON; March PAT he -arbi-
tration treaty did not receive any con-
sideration at the hands Of the senate
yesterday. The supporters Of the
treaty expect Senator Morgan to make
quite long speech on the Chiffon
amendment, but there is no indication
of any intention on the part Of other
senator's to speak at length. Senator
Davis is, therefore, contemplating an
effort to have day set for taking
vote and probably win offer this re-
quest at the conclusion Of Senator
Morgan's speech. On the other hand
the opponents of the treaty say there
are several old amendments which
they win desire to offer If the Chiffon
amendment fails.

ST. PAULs ROCKS.
A Submarine Mountain In the Middle Of
the Atlantic Ocean.

A Submarine Mountain In the Middle Of
the Atlantic Ocean.
Almost at the very center Of the At
lantic ocean-only a trifie north Of the
equator and about half way between
South America and Africa-is sub
marine mountain so high that, in spite
of the immense depth of the sea, it
thrusts its peak 20 feet above the waves.
This peak. startling from its position,
forms a labyrinth Of islets, the whole
not over half a mile IN circumference,
known as st. Paul's rocks So steep is
the mountain, of which this lonely rest
ing place Of sea birds is the summit, that
one mile from these rocks a 800 fathom
line with which soundincs were at
tempted by Ross ON his voyage 10 the
Antarctic failed to touch bottom.
We're the bed of The sea to be suddenly
elevated to q level with the dry land.
St. Paul's rocks would be the cloud
capped peak of a mountain rising in
sheer ascent in the midst Of a broad
plain. They are supposed to have been
formed by the same disturbance Of ma
ture which separated the Cape Verde IS
lands from Africa.
Treacherous currents make navigation
in the vicinity of these rocks dangerous.
A Brazilian naval officer, who passed
them on an English steamer, tells me
that the evening before they expected to
sight them he was told by the captain
that at . O'Clock in the morning they
would appear about five miles west. At
that hour the officer went on deck and
/ looked TO the westward-nothingh but an
expanse of heaving sea. He chanced to
turn, aud there, five miles to the east

had, in less than i2 hours, carried a
full powered steamer ten miles ont Of

1t Avertcd Threatened Trouble During His
Canadian Tour.
stephen Fiske describes the Prince of
Wales visit TO America in the Ladies'
Home Journal and relates these interest
ing incidents Of his tour through Cana
da: "The Catholics had gained little
victory over the stern Duke of Newcas-
tie at Quebec, and now the Orangemen
demanded to be allowed to present adj
dresses to the prince and TO be received
separately from their Catholic fellow
citizens. The duke consulted with Gov
ernor General Head and refused TO per-
nit this distinction. At Kingston an
Orange demonstration was prepared,
and the royal party did not land from
the steamer. The Orangemen chartered
another steamer and pursued the prince
to Brockton, but again he was not al
lowed to go on shore At Coburg par
ty of 80 Canadian gentlemen took the
horses from his carriage and drew him
through the pretty hamlet. At Toronto
the mayor apologized for DE display Of
Grunge flags The prince was hootoe
and hisscd when he attended church,
and scriOus riots were feared.
"All trouble was averted, however,
by the good humor of the prince him
self. He was taking a drive with the
duke, and the Orangemen hastily hung
banner across the road so that the roy
al party had to drive under it. Newcas-
tie was indignant and ordered the coach
man to turn back; but, 10, another Or
ange banner had been hung to cut of
the retreat. Then the prince laughed
heartily, took off his hat to the hag and
was cheered by the Orangemen. How
ever, the duke was not Modified, and tho
journey to Niagara falls was expedited
The prince first saw the great falls ON
Sept 10. a number Of riding horses had
been provided by the Canadian govern
mcnt, and he mounted at once and rode
to view the falls from various points. "

DEPARTMENT STORES.
The Prominent Part That Profuse Adver-
tising Plays In Their Success.

The Prominent Part Tint Profuse Adver-
tising Plays In Their Success.
Aside from departures in policy and
innovations on large scale, tho original
ity Of the department store is largely
supplied by two departments, to some
extent correlated. These are the adver-
tising department. and the window
dressing department One is the litera-
ture Of the great store, the other its art.
The shop windows are q great stimulus
for the department whose goods are dis
played in them. A good showing will
often wonderfully increase the sale Of
the stock as well as attract customers TO
the store who are new to it. Frequently
the head advertising man is the general
manager of the store Whether this is
the case or not, he is general superyis-
or of the establishment, with a complete
knowledge of its ever changing detail.
Every day he holds consultations with
heads Of departments to find out what
particular lines Of articles they want
boomed and about those articles he
writes alluring statements for the shop
ping public TO read, sometimes arrang-
ing for illustrations with them.
The amount of money spent for adver-
tising is appalling when looked upon as
an expense. One great store in Philadel-
phia spends on an average 81, 600 every
day in the year, and a good many spend
$500 day. The advertising receives
probably more Of the personal attention
/ Of the head Of the house than any other
department. The head Of the firm which
oxpends the great sum just mentioned
personally suggests and frequently
writes the leading lines in the daily an
nouncoment The proprietor of a great
store in Brooklyn does this invariably
and thinks the time well spent which
the work daily requires. The mail de
partment tends TO enlarge this expendi
ture, as the store reaches out to the ut
most parts of the country. and the fu
turo will no doubt see an even greater
development in the effort 70 secure mai
customers in the small towns and il
country places. Samuel Hopkins Ad

1t was in these lava beds that the Modoc

very varying shapes and dimensions.
Some are mere covert ways, with an
arch of stone thrown over them. Others
are immense chambers some yards from

frozen solid, unless the caves mouths
should be entirely covered with snow
