above notice was issued yesterday by
the Ben Hur officials. The previous
rate to these cities on the Ben Hur has
been IS cents, and the cut makes the

they will profit thereby.

GENERAL RosECRANs DEAD.


ing on the Brin-l for Days.
Los Angeles. Cal, March 11.-Gen.
w. S. Rosecrans died this morning at
7 o'clock at his home near Redondo.
The old warriors death was peaceful
in the extreme. For several days he
has been between life and death and at
times unconscious and again in
comatose state His splendid vitality
has kept him alive for days.
Gen. Rosecrans was stricken with no
particular disease and the end came
through a general weakening of the
system. When he was first stricken,
more than two weeks ago, it was not
supposed the ailment was more than
All attack of the grippe, but though he
rallied several times the attending
physicians never held out much hope
for recovery, and for the last three
days the family and friends have
known the end was very near. The
place where he died is called Rose
Gran, in honor of him, and is near a
station on the Redondo railroad about
twelve miles from this city.
Arrangements are being made to
have a public funeral for Gen. Rose
Grams, in which all the military bodies
of this city and section will partici-
pate. A request will be made to have
the body lie in state in the city hall
until the funeral. The body is now in
this city.

INVASION OF TRAMPS.
BY Refusing to Give. Americans Can
Stop This Growing
Nuisance.
From the Mexican Herald.

From the Mexican Herald.
The City of Mexico is fast becoming n
refuge for American tramps of the worst
and most persistent sort. A couple of
years ago we could boast of one regular
resident who must have had an abnormal
appetite, since he had always a very acute
attack of "hambre.' This was probably
why he camped on the sidewalk outside
the Jardin restaurant.
But lately the tide of American tramp
immigration seems to have set in the
direction of Mexico. There are at least a
dozen stout, able-bodied fellows who hang
around San Francisco street every after
noon and night; their whole stock in trade
being a pitiable tale of hunger and hard
luck. 1t is not difficult to see whence
comes the ill-luck as they are, generally,
more or less half-seaS-over.
But the latest e~ffrontery of the American
tramp in Mexico was witnessed last night
on Gante street. Two strong raw-boned
fellows who nave been working the ten
derfeet for two weeks past paraded the
street arm in arm with the same old tale
of hunger and hard times. They were
evidently of a very devotional turn, and
one could easily tell, by the exalted look
that they wore. that it had not been long
since they had paid their very sincere
devotions at the shrine Of Bacchus.
AS they wandered in aimless maZes along
the street it made one think of the babes
that were lost in the woods.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
Senate Decides to Consider the Ha-
waiian Annexation Treaty in
Executiye Session.,

Washington, Jan. N.-Rev. Bishop Mer-
r;ll. D. D., of Chicago, delivered the invo-
cation at the opening of the senate to-day.
A bill was reported ~favorably from the
Indian committee preventing railroad COM
parties from charging more than 3 cents 4
nile for passengers through the Indian
Territory.
A resolution looking to the filtration of
the water used in the city of Washington
caused Senator Hale. before it was re-
mittee. to say that in no part of the
United States was there n city whose citi-
Zens are SO imposed upon and abused as

deed as TO make it dangerous to drink, ana
irksome even to take a BATH"
AT 1850 p. M, on motion of Mr.. Davis,
of Minnesota. chairman of the committee
on foreign relations. the senate went into
executive session to consider the Hawaiian
annexation treaty.
Immediately after the treaty was called
up, Senator Pettigrew offered his motion
Tor conducting the debate on it with open
doors, which was antasonIzed by Senator
Davis, chairman of the committee on for
eign relations, and others, the principal
portion of the debate for the first two
hours of the session being upon this mo-
ticn. 1t was commended on the one hand
that there was no reason for observing
secrecy in presenting the question because,
as was alleged, there was no point in
yolved which could not have been thor
oughly canvassed before and which might
Tot be discussed by the world at large.
On the other hand, it was held tnat the
Chinese question, which would necessar-
lily enter into the discussion, might prove
to be somewhat delicate.
The opinion was also expressed that the
debating of the treaty in open senate
would lave the effect of %prolonging the
final determination indefinitely.
A majority Of those favoring open doors
them are on that side of the main con-
troversy.
The senate. at 3:45 p. M, adjourned.

INSURANCE FOR BATHERS.
Pays an Indemnity II a Bathef


From the New YORK Herald.
If you go to Atlantic City next summer
II go in bathing and get drowned you
need not worry about it-that is. you need
not worry as much as you would under
similar circumstances elsewhere. II you
are going to go in bathing and get
drowned, by all means go to Atlantic
City and do 1t. Why? Well, I'll tell you.
Fred j. Steinlein, a hustling young ma
tive Of New Jerseys popular resort, has
hit upon a novel nickel in the slot ma
chine Before you enter the surf you drop
in your nickel and out pops a twenty-four
hour life insurance policy. Then. If the
deadly undertow takes YOU In its grasp
and carries you down to Davy Jones lock-
er, your widow or next OF kin Is entitled
to 81. 900 worth of compensation for the
sudden taking off.
we'll known capitalists and stock will
shortly be issued. The promoters are
banking largely on the ract that people
do not often drown at Atlantic City. Last
summer it is estimated that no less than
a million bathers wooed the capricious
Der only three lost their lives in the surf.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
death rate will be no higher next summer.
If only half the people who go In bathing
take out policies there will be a handsome
income for Mr.. Steinlein and his associates.
half paid a nickel the total receipts for
the season would be 5000. Say five per-
sons drown next summer. That would
leave a net profit Of $4,000.
And ten chances to one the five who
would drown would be persons who had
neglected to avail themselves Of the priv
iiege offered by the company. 1t alwaya
happens that way.

TRAIT OF YANKEE INVENTIONS
the Little Things, According to
a French Engineer.

From the Invention.
A French engineer who has been on q
tour of inspection in the States was not
impressed by the big things of the coun-
try. II shall report to my government"
says he, that the biggest things in
America are the little things. The French
people are experts in domestic economy,
and live comfortably by saving what aver
age families in the States throw away.
But Americans are, on the other hand. ex-
perts In industrial economy. They make
money by saving wastage in business and
lose some of 1t by wastage in domestic
economy. The attention paid to small de-
tails in big works is amazing to me; l have
visited some establishments where 1 believe
that the profits are made not in the manu-
facture proper, but in the saving of ma
terials and labor by close attention to de-
tails nat are with us considered trifles.
For example, l saw n little grindStOne in
operation at a big works. automatically
sharpening lathe and planer tools. This
machine costs probably as much as a hun
bred OF our ordinary grindstones cost, but
! see that it automatically grinds all the
tools for three hundred high priced ma
chimes. and it only works a few hours each
day. The skilled mechanics in our COUNTRY
frequently stop their regular work to grind
their own tools, and then they do it i'm
perfectly. .r In 4 the - states ,hs hs tools are all all aca

brains of the inventor-and 1t has no doubt
revolutionized work of this kind in Ameri-
can machine shops. This is but one case
out of many that 1 have noted"
The visitor correctly defined a peculiar
characteristic of American inventive ge-
MUS. The great engineering undertakings,
the immense manufacturing establishments
and the leviathan machinery are, of course,
most conspicuous and impressive: but these
big things are comparatively few In num-
her, while the novel improvements In lit
tie ~things-usually classed as Yankee no.
'tions'-are legion. and each one contrib
utes its mite toward the general sum of
prosperity of the business of the country.

Exchange Paper Knives.

When Lord Dufferin was viceroy of In
dia he was visited by the rajah Of Holkar.
who saw the viceroy take up some Illus
rived by mail and cut them with an ivory
paper knife. 1t was the first time the
indian prince had seen such an instrument
said to the viceroy. and 1 will give you
another. Lord Dufferin fastened to com-
ply with this modest request. and the young
rajah returned to his country. Not long
after he returned to Calcutta, bringing with
him a young. elephant. whose tusks had
been carved in the most artistic manner
in the shape of a paper knife. This he
brought as a present to the viceroy. A
table bearing some illustrated. papers was
placed by a servant before this intelligent
beast. who Immediately seized them with
his trunk. cut them most deity with his
tusks, and then handed them to the vice
roy.

A PECULIAR HAWAIIAN.
He Ii O Remarkable Diver and Also
Something of q
Thief

A native living in Nawiliwili. district of
Lihue, on the Island Of Kauai. whom every
one knows as Johnny. but whose family
name is Kualokai. is a peculiar character,
according to the Hawaiian Gazette.
Johnny is a remarkable good swimmer
and. 1t Is said. was at one time very much
addicted to the habit of stealing ducks
from. various people: His method was very
simple. He would hide in the bullrushes
along the edges of the duck ponds and
would. from time to time, dive out where
the ducks happened to be. snatch one or
two from the surface push them into a bag,
swim back again to the rushes, there to
take breath for another sally. In this way
he succeeded in making quite a comforta-
BILE living. However, he has given up his
crooked ways and now resides like a peace
ably inclined citizen, relying on work that
Is given him from time to time.
When out on a hunting or fishing ex-
petition. there Is no better man on the
Island of Kauai than this same Johnny.
Barefooted he will climb all over the dam
end thousands Of feet below in the sea. The
festive goat itself Is not more active and,
when hunting for this kind Of game. he is
as invaluable a man to chase the animals
round to n point of vantage.
AS a diver. there are few natives even
who can beat him. In diving after Holsters.
he has the very uncomfortable habit of
swimming a great distance into the caves
that lave no opening above the water.
Beneath the rocks of these places he will
feel around, never failing to come to the
top bringing with him something to make
glad the hearts of the housewives.

LEGISLATION FOR ALASKA.
Chairmen OF Committees OF Terri
tories Confer AS to What
Ia Needed.

Washington. Jan. Ex-senator Carter. Of
the senate committee on territories, and
Chairman Knox. Of the house committee,
had a conference to-day over what legis-
lation is necessary for Alaska. 1t was
agreed that nothing should yet be done in
the way of giving Alaska a territorial form
of government, in view of the unsettled
character of the population of that dis
trict. 1t was decided that action should
be taken giving more United States COM
missioners for the district.
The matter OF representation of the dis
trict in congress was also informally dis
cussed and the conclusion reached that
the Alaskan people should be accorded a
delegate in tina body. 1t was also suggest
ed that a court be created in Alaska with
points like Circle City. st. Michael's
and Sitka. Another proposition brought
forward is the codiication Of the laws re-
lating to Alaska. At present the laws of
as applicable This, however. is not al
together satisfactory and the point is made
that the laws governing the district should
be put on a more definite basis.
