The TRANSFORMATION OF EELs.
Since the days of Aristotle the
mode Of development Of the com
mon eel has been a mystery In
many parts Of the country it isstill
believed that when q horsehair is
left in stream or lake for q little
while II assumes life and finally be-
comes nm eel. This, of course, il
q complete delnsion, like many
other theories propounded to ex-
plain the cells origin. Only with
in the last two or three years has
accurate information been obtained
upon the subject. 1t has long been
known. that large cells pass from
rivers into the sea at certain sea-
sons, and that diminutive young
cells, called in England elvers as
cend the rivers IN enormous num-
bers. But until Professor Grassi,
Of Rome, investigated the matter,
no one in any country had Deen
able TO discover how the elvers we're
produced. Grassi has proved that
the cells which annually descend the
rivers travel very long distances.
until they reach deep parts of the
ocean. The eggs are deposited in
depths of about $50 fathoms (no
depth so great as this is found
nearer than the Bay of Biscay),
and they develop into strange, col
orless, transparent, thin-bodied
creatures. which were thought to
be special family OF fishes, but
which are now known to be really
the larva of cells. After attaining
a certain size the larva ceases to
feed, it's body shrinks and it as
sumes the very different form of
the. elver, which sscends our rivers.

One OF the most striking indications
OF the growth OF sentiment against high
profession and of a liberal sentiment
upon tariff matters IL the movement
against the pending tariff hih by the
Manufacturers Association Of tire Unit
ed States. Mr.. d. b. Fsrqnhax. an ex-
tcnsive manufacturer Of AGRICULTURAL
machinery ut YofS. Pa. is at tho bead
of the movement
It is well known that in the manu-
fRcture OF agricultural implements and
machinery Americans are far in advance
Of their competitors IN any other land
and that the products of their factories
may be seen in the fields all ever the
civilized world. These people need,no
protection and are well able to take caro-
of themselves. All they ask is 10 have
untAxed raw material, so that they viii
not be placed at a disadvantage.
4 great list Of other industries are
practically in tho saiilo position and de-
sire free raw material more than they
desire protection. Ii Is Also significant
that the manufacturers, in their peti-
tion 10 the senate, declare that their
ability 30 employ American labor will
|. BIO greatly impaired by the passage of
tho tariff ball They ask that the Chi
nescwali thae is obssFucting the foreign
txade and 0sppling American eneerprise

The pleaAwhich has been used for
years by tho protectsonists - namely,
that protection is in the intarest OF
American labor-is shown By census

SETTLED AT LAST.
Ex-Congressman s. II. Mallory Elected
United States Senator.


Omitted States Senator.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, May LEX Con-

cola was elected United States senator
yesterday, the vote on the Goth ballot OF
the contest that began April 30, stand
ing: Mallory. 50; w. ID. Chipley, Al

Chipley came SO near election Thurs
day, lacking only three votes, while the
opposition was divided among four can
didates, that the leaders of the forces
hostile to him sought compromise can
didate. A caucus in the senate cham
Der that night was the outcome. Sever
al ballots were taken in which the lead
ing candidates were Mallory, Raney
and Hooker. At 2 o'clock yesterday
morning the caucus came to an agree
ment upon Mallory
Upon the meeting of the joint as
sembly at noon the new candidate for
the first time since the balloting begun,
was brought into the contest without
preliminary nominating speech. When
the last name was reached ON the roll,
the vote stood: Chipley, 40; Mallory,
AZ; two names having been passed.
Representative Morgan, who had pre-
viously supported Chipley, and who
had not yet voted. then gave his ballot
| TO Mallory. Representative Rawls
broke his pair, as he claimed he was
authorized to under the existing cir
cumstances, and threw his vote for
Mallory. This made the result a tie.
Pandemonium prevailed for "A time,

Senator Mallory spoke before large

tiyes last night. He said that he in
dorsed all OF the plan s of the Chicago
platform, dwelling particularly on the
financial question and advocating the
free coinage of silver at the ratio OF 10

did not express decided views ION the
tariff question.

Every 0ne.-They

THREATEN MORE TROUBLE
GREEKS ARE BADLY BEATEN

CoNsTAuTINoPLE, Nav It'll porte
las replied o Hcialy to tie notc of the
powers, and declines to agree to an arm
istice until the following coud tions are
an indemnity of el0,O,0,C0) Turkish
money and the abolit ON Of the capitula-
tons. The porte proposes that plenipo-
tentiaries Of the powers should meet at
Pharsalos to discuss the terms of peace,
and declares that if these conditiocg are
declined the Turkish army will continue
to advance.
The demand for the annexation of
Thessaly is based upon the fact that the
province was originally coded to Greece
ON the advice Of the powers with the
object of ending brigandage and Greek
incurs,ons into Ottoman territory, the
porte believing at the time that the ces-
sion would attain these objects, but the
recent incursions of Greek bands and
the events Immediately preceding the
war have proved to the contrary. This
is the substance of the reply.
The ambassadors met yesterday to
consider the porte's answer, which is
regarded as raising an extremely grave
Issue. 1t is believed that representa-
lions will be made to the sultan person
ally 10 induce a modification Of these
terms, but it is foreseen that this will
be very d ilicult. owing to the attitude
of the pow erful old Turkish war party.
If the porte should prove obdurate a
European conference is not improbable,
although at present Russia is opposed to
this.
1t is regarded as quite certain that the
powe.s will not consent to a retroces-
sion of Thessaly. Even Germany is be-
heved to he resolute on this point, be-
cause it would involve violation of the
Berlin treaty and imperil the peace of
the Balkans. Altogether, the reply of the
porte has caused the greatest surprise.
1t appears that during the discussion of
the note from the powers by the coun-
Gil of the sultans ministers, news
reached the council that 5000 Greeks
had landed at Palona and were march
ing to Janina with the intention of CO.
operating with other forces from Arta.
This created a bad impression among
the ministers.

REVOLUTION IN URUGUAY.
IL Has Eccn Checked After a bloody Bat
tie at Tres Arbaies.

tie at Tres Arbaies.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Recent mail
adviccs from Uruguay received here
state that the revolution has been
checked after a bloody battle at Tres
Arbaes in which a large number of the
revolutionist were killed and their lead
ers driven to the frontier. At the same
time the government has seen fit to
allay public discomfort by taking into
the ministry several leaders who here
tofore have been regarded as leaders in
the seditiOus movement.
The minister of war, General Diaz,
gave way for this purpose to General
Perez, who was acting president of the
committee, officially denounced as sedi-
tious and revolutionary. This is accept
ed as the first step toward making terms
with the revolutionists, although a strict
censorship of the press prevents any
construction being placed on the course
of the government.
The fighting has been bloody, the
deaths reaching into the hundreds.
The president has issued proclama-
ton congratulating General Muniz on
his last success in dispensing the revolu-
tionists, and a dress sword is to be pre-
scented to him.
The government forces have been re-
inforced by mobilizing the national
guard, made up of 5000 men, and large
consignments of arms and ordnance
have been received from Belgium.

SEVERAL BATTLES FOUGHT.

Turks Got the Best Of the Fight, but This
Dispatch Comes From ConstantinoPle.
CoNsTANTINoPLE. May 1.-THE coun-
Gil of ministers met again yesterday and
the sultan has ordered distribution of
troops at various points along the Sa-
lonica railway.
Official dispatches have been received
from the commandment at Janina, who
says that division of the Greek forces
approaching the town by a narrow
gorge from the direction of Gremenitza,
charged the heights of Griborom and
KononaTi, but suffered heavily, losing
300 killed, while, on the other side the
Greeks We're driven back upon Pa
raskevi. The commandant states also
that fighting has occurred at Kumu-
sades.
No further details are given, except
that all these battles lasted until even
ing, and that the imperial troops re-
tanned their position, with the probable
ity that the Greeks will be rei- forced
and the fighting renewed ON the NOR
row. No statement is made as to the
Turkish losses.
The Turkish commander at Luros tel
egraphs under yesterdays date as fol-
lows: "The outcome of q desperate
battle, lasting two days, against a force
of 10, 600 Greeks is that the latter have
abandoned the position on the heights
they had previously captured and have
withdrawn to the olive groves Of Gre
