HOUSE.
The clerk OF the Senate appeared
and transmitted the Teller resolution,
which passed the Senate last night.
The announcement was greeted with a
terrific outburst of applause from the
democratic side of the House.
No motion was made at the time and
the resolution remained on the table.
The forti6cation appropriation bill
was reported and the House went into
committee of the whole and resumed
the consideration of the District OF
Columbia appropriation bill.
The general debate was not confined to the
subjects dealt with by the BILL 1t covered q
wide range. The Teller resolution, the Gu
ban question, Hawaiian annexation, the tariff
aad other political topics were discussed.
At the conclusion of general debate the bill
was taken up for amendment under the five
minute rule,

LEGISLATIVE CAUcUs.-The confer
erce of members of the Legislature in
Richmond last night to consider the
question of proposed reductions of ex-
penses was not largely attend
ed. Probably not more than one
third of the members were in at
tendance. A resolution offered by
Senator Flood, OF Appomatto1, to
make general cut of 10 per cent. in
all salaries did not meet with favor.
The point was raised that this course
would not do, as some of the salaries
are much larger than others. Another
objection which was brought out is that
in the various Slate institutions it is
believed that it is proposed to make
greater reductions than 10 per cent.
The conference adjourned until Friday
next.
The special House committee of ten
on the oyster question yesterday even
ing agreed to report the Craig bill,
with the amendment, that oyster
grounds in the deep waters of the
Chesapeake bay may be rented to per
sons after May 1, and all other grounds
in the State, if approved by the board
of fisheries, after January 1. 1899.

that the General Assembly has passed

What Recent Discovery sevea,s.

What a Recent Discovery Reveals.
The Smithsonian institution has re-
ccived collection which is of impOr-
tance to the archeologist.
1t Is known as the Seton-Karr con-
tribution, having been discovered by
this Englishman in Somaliland, on the
eastern coast of Africa. The imple-
ments were purchased from the discov-
crcr by the Smithsonian Institution.
There are about fifty pieces in the coll
lection, made of flint or Quartide, and
ranging in size from an inch or so In
length to half foot, some weighing
several pounds. The objects are sup
posed to be spear heads, battle axes and
wedges, trunchcOns, bludgeons, or
whatever they may be termed.
The discoverer had this to say on the
subject of his find and the locality
where thc objects were unearthed:
Certain landmarks rs 10 the four
rivers mentioned in Genesis led me to
think that the Garden of Eden, IL 1t
ever existed. may have been here, and
that these very tools had been made
and used by Adam and his numerous
descendants. At any rate, my discov!
cries in Egypt and Somaliland lead mo
10 the idea that mans original home,
or the place where he was gradually
evolved, must have been in Africa, or,
ut least, in tropical land, where
clothes were unnecessary and food
plentiful to hand"

New Road Law Already Popular.

Before Governor Black had attached
his signature to the Higbee- Armstrong
State roads bill, the property owners
along two important highways i'll
Monroe County had taken steps to
secure the benefits of that bill when
it shall become law. The movement
was first started on ths road between
Rochester and Brighton, and the
property owners on the Ridge road,
between Hoosic Hill and Lake
avenue, are good second.
Both of the thoroughfares men
toned are important ones leading into
this city. The Ridge road, for exam
pie, is splendid natural highway
leading westward from the Genesee
River to the Niagara. It's greatest
breadth makes it appear like superb
boulevard, and along its entire length,
country crossroads from the north
and south run into it, many of them
from important villages. But as it is

Statistics Regarding Good Roads.

This is the time of the year when
the average cyclist begins to look
around to find out the condition OF

who has done more or less regular

class is increasing every year. Fred

he has made close study Of the good

of road building aud good road ma

Methods Em mp1oyed by Those Engaged

The methods employed by the char

cut down and stripped Of their branch
es and laid in heaps to be carted away,
the burners reserving only oak between
two and three inches thick, which is
cut into two-foot lengths and the bark
peeled of. The bark is tied in bundles
and carted of and the short sticks are
laid regularly side by side in a circular
heap sixteen feet in diameter and six
feet high. This heap is covered with
rushes and earth, small hole being
left in the center. Through this the
