DIAMONDS OF aoLcoNDA.
Marco Po1o's Account az Them Reads Like
One of Sindbad's Tales.

One of Sindbad's Tales.
In st. Nicholas Noah Brooks, tell
ing for the children of today 1.-THE
True Story of Marco Polo, quotes
the following account of the dia-
monds of Golconda from the great
Venetian travellers narrative:
tits in this kingdom that diamonds
are got, and l will tell you how.
There are certain lofty mountains
in those parts, and when the winter
rains fall, which are very heavy,
the waters come roaring down the
mountains in great torrents When
the rains are over and the waters
from the mountains have ceased to
flow, they search the beds OF the
torrents and find plenty of dia-
monds. In summer also there are
plenty to be found in the mountains,
but the heat of the sun is so great
that it is scarcely possible to go
thither, nor is there then a drop of
water to be found. Moreover, in
those mountains great serpents are
rife to a marvellous degree, besides
other vermin, and this owing to the
great heat. The serpents are also
the most venomous in existence, SO
that any one going there runs fear
full peril, for many have been de
stroyed by these evil reptiles.
Now, among these mountains
there are certain great and deep
valleys, to the bottom of which
there is no access, wherefore the
men who go in search of the dia-
monds take with them pieces of
flesh, as lean as they can get, and
these they cast into the bottom of
the valley. Now, there are num-
bers of white eagles that haunt
those mountains and feed upon the
serpents. When the eagles see the
meat thrown down, they pounce
upon it and carry it up to some
rocky hilltop, where they begin to
rend it. But there are men on the
watch, and as soon as they see that
the eagles have settled, they raise a
loud shouting to drive them away.
And when the eagles are thus fright
ened away the men recover the
pieces of meat and find them full of
diamonds which have stuck to the
meat down in the bottom. For the
abundance of diamonds down there
in the depths of the valleys is aston
ishing, but nobody can get down,
and if one could it would be only to
be at once devoured by the serpents
which are so rife there.
There is also another way of get
ting the diamonds The people go
to the nests of those white eagles,
of which there are many, and find
plenty of diamonds which the birds
have carried off with the meat that
was cast into the valleys. And
when the eagles themselves are
taken diamonds are found in their
stOmachs.
So now I have told you three diff
ferent ways in which these stones
are found. No other country but
this kingdom of Mutfili produces
them, but there they are found both
abundantly and of large size Those
that are brought to our part of the
world are only therefuse, asst were,
of the finer and larger stones. For
the flower of the diamonds and other
large gems, as well as the largest
pearls, are all carried to the great
khan and other kings and princes of
those regions. In truth, they pos
sess all the great treasures of the
world.

Philadelphia, Aug 22-There no de-
velopments to-day in the mystery surrounding
the murder Of Major William C. Wilson. the
aged librarian, on Monday night last and the
case bids fair to take rank among the unsoved
crimes Of local history Marion Stuyvesant, the
muatto. employed as a porter in Wilson'S place.
who was arrested yesterday, is still In custody,
as is also the white woman with whom h. lived
The police admit that the circumstances which
led them to suspect Stuyvesant Of completely
in the crime are not Of tangible character.
but they hope that he knows something which
may shed further light on the case.
Both he and the woman have been subjected
to rigid examinations, but neither has mace
a single admission which would incriminate the
mulatto. Stuyvesant says that he left his en-
ployer in the store on the evening Of the MUIR
der and went directly to his home. and that he
knew nothing Of the crime until he returned 10
the library the following morning.
The whole city has been deeply stirred by the
murder and the peculiar character Of the old
man himself has produced some strange theories.
He was a confirmed bibliomaniac. seemingly
with no other interest in life since he lavished all
his books. even deprvng himself Of necessaries
Of life. The library. which was patronized oy

HOW THE WILSON LAW AFFECTED AMER
ICAN MANUFACTURERS
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRiBuNEl

IBy Te.rGaArH TO TRiBuNE.I
Washington Aug 22-It is now practicable to cx-
anime the claim made by the advocates OF low
tariff that the Wilson Tariff law made an Increased
market abroad for American manufacturers ana
thus WAS advantageous to them. The opportunity
which is offered to examine this question ~ iur-
nished by the publication by the Treasury Depart
ment of its monthly summary for June whlch
covers the fiscal year ending June 3o 1897 and thus
practically completes the record Of the wilson law.
That the expectation OF manufactured articles did
increase under the Wilson law is undoubtedly true.
But that the importation OF manufactured arucies
Increased very much more than the expectation Is
equally true. The expectation OF manufactured
goods In the fiscal year 1897 was, In round numbers
S92 greater than In the last year under the
Mckinley law 1894. the figures for these two years
being respectively 1884, ss},725.SCs, and 1897, &6-
3j7 ssl The importation OF manufactured goods
during the same period increased NibWoo" the
total imports of manufactured goods In 1874, the
last year OF the Mckinley law. being sl5s32,l36 and
in 1884, the last year Of the Wilson law. sSOf6floi'
1t is thus apparent that the importation Of manu-
facturSd goods practically doubled under the VIII
son law since 1894. the last year Of the Mckinley
law and II is not surprising that the bringing in OF
over $500 900 900 worth OF manufactured goods per
annum drove the manufacturers OF the nted states
TO seek market abroad at whatever price they
could get as the only means Of escaping the neces-
sity Of closing their factories.
Another interesting point to be determined In re-
gard to this question Of expectation OF manufact-
nrod articles under tho Wilson law is whether the
proportionate increase was more rapid under the
Wilson law than it had been under me Mch ,, lnley ~
law The suboined table gives the expectations IN
