INDIAN HEAD GONE.
Principal PrOmOntOry of the Pal
isades Blown UP with Dynamite.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Indian Head, the
principal promontory in the Palisades, was
blown up yesterday. Preparations for the
event had been going on for several weeks.
The result is that 100000 tons of rock have
been at last brought down for use as mac
adam paving stone.
The cliff, as it was before 10 o'clock in
the morning, rose 200 feet from the waters
edge. 1t was practically perpendicular, and
there was almost no break in it's smooth
surface. The rock was, however, ramified
with tunnels and shafts, cut in preparation
for yesterdays blasting. One tunnel five
feet in diameter entered the cliff about
eighty feet below the top and continued
back to length of 100 feet. At the inner
end two shafts were sunk to a depth of
twenty-five feet At the top of the cliff, 200
feet above the river, there were some forty
two-inch shafts bored to depth of
twenty-five feet. They were at points
widely scattered, many being considerable
distance back from the face of the cliff.
All these shafts and tunnels had been
filled with dynamite to the amount of 1000
pounds.
When at 1910 o'clock, all the wires from
shafts and tunnels were brought together
in one circuit the connecting wire was led
out over the top of the cliff. 1t was an
nounced that everything was ready for the
explosion Crowds of spectators that had
come out from Coytesville and neghboring
hamlets were ordered back from the dam
gerous ground. There were shouts of
"look OUT and get away until everybody
was on the run for a place of safety. Then
all eyes saw Miss Alice Haggerty as she
drew up the plunger rod of the friction ma
chine and pushed it slowly down. There
was a pull and a roar, but the cliff did not
fall All of the charges had not gone off.
The wires were fixed again, and Hugh
Reilly, the blaster, this time pushed the
piunger rod. Instantly there was a trem-
bling OF the ground and a roar that seemed
muffied at first, then loud, so that it was
heard by persons three miles away. Every
where one could see the effect of the ter
rife explosion, and for a long time after
the explosion quantities of rock kept roll
ing from the palisades to the shore. The
explosion caused excitement in the village
of Coytesville, as the occupants of some of
the houses distinctly felt the trembling of
the earth, and feared that they were ex-
periencng an earthquake

LONDON, March 6.-The result of the
London County Council elections has been
to inflict on the Marquis of Salisbury's gov
eminent the heaviest blow it has yet sus-
tanned. The whole cabinet descended into
the arena and the Unionist caucus pulled
the party wires, John Burns's scented
Delilahs," otherwise the Primrose Dames,"
invaded the slums like swarm of locusts,
but London repudiated the attempt to in
terfere in her municipal concerns. Lord
Rosebery's admirable intervention on the
women's side has led to significant revival
of the rumors that he aspires to resuming
the Liberal leadership. 1t is generally adj
mitted that Sir William Vernon Harcourts
period of probation has been unsatisfactory,
and many of the Liberals are quite willing
to shelve him.. Now that Lord Rosebery has
emerged from seclusion it is hoped he will
again take up the reinS.

Enact Into Law.

POSTMASTER BAKERS sLAYERs.
HaughyiAIe's Memorial for q New
in Behalf OF an Old Soldier.


WASHINGTON. March = Chairman
Sherman, of the Indian affairs committee
Of the House, has received from SECRETARY
Bliss communication in which the latter
takes strong ground against the adoption
by the House of the free homes" amend
ment to the Indian appropriation bill added
by the Senate. The secretary thinks that
such legislation would be inexpedient, as 1t
would be taxing the entire people for the
benefit Of the few. The letter points out
that there are two classes Of lands which
will be affected by the proposed legislation.
The first of these are the lands held in
trust by the government for the Indians, to
be disposed of for their benefit, for which
direct appropriation OF approximately $12,-
900, OOe would have to be made to reimburse
the Indians. The second class are those
lands purchased direct from the Indians for
specific sums, aggregating s25, 100000 in
round numbers. This money was to be re-
imburscd to the United States by persons
who settled on these lands. Probably half
of this land has been entered by settlers,
upon which there has been paid by them
less than a million dollars. The total loss,
therefore, to the government which the en-
actment of the free homes clause would en-
tail would approximate $36, 200, 600. Secretary
Bliss also shows that the proposed leglsla-
tion might embarrass the agricultural col
Ieges, which received a stated sum each
year from the proceeds of the disposal of
public lands within the boundaries of the
States in which they are located.
Another question which the secretary asks
IS on what principle of equity and justice
could the United States refuse to return
the settler on ceded Indian lands the large
amount they have in good faith paid into
the treasury. 1t is also represented that
the proposed legislation would affect sew
eral Indian treaties, as the United States
would have to assume the payment of
money demanded by the Indians for the
cessiOn Of their lands in the event Of the
ratification of such agreements by Con-
gress. There are also a number of other
Indian reservations which, in the course of
time, might possibly be opened to home
stead settlement, and the policy outlined In
the proposed amendment might, lit is urged,
If enacted into law, place the United States
under obligations to appropriate money suf-
1icient to pay the full value OF lands that
might in the future be coded TO the gov
eminent.

able to the case of M. lola at the recent
trial of the author, fought duel with
swords to-day in the riding school of the

AT the first encounter Colonel Henry was
slightly scratched on the forearm, and at
the same moment his blade appeared to
touch Colonel Picquart's neck. Senator
Ranc, Colonel Picquart's second, then inter-
vened, but his principal was shown not to
have been touched and an encounter at
close quarters followed. Colonel Henry was
eventually wounded on the elbow and the
duel was brought to a close. After Colonel
Henry's wound had been dressed he went
home where General Boisdeffre was await
ing him. officers acted as seconds for the
two duelists, and Colonel Henrys wound
was dressed by civilian.

LONDON, March 5.-Scientists are ex-
cited over the authenticated discovery of
the tomb of Osiris, the chief god of the
Egyptians, at Luxor, a village of upper
Egypt, built on the site of Thebes. The
news was first received with incredulity,
but all doubts were quoted by a telegram
from the director general of excavations to
the president Of the Egyptian Council Of
Ministers. The discovery was made by NJ.
Amelineau, who in a letter also affirms
positively that he has discovered that the
tomb of the gods Seth and Horus is in the
same metropolis at Abydos. The Pail Mall
Gazette says: There is no doubt this is a
great discovery. Thus we know the tombs
of the last three god kings of the second
of the divine dynasties, which dates back
900 years"

Attncls ON King George BelittIed.

LONDON, March 5.-After reflection and
collating the stories, the Saturday Review
concludes that the seriousness of the attack
upon King George of Greece has been great
ly overrated. Indeed, it insinuates that the
whole affair was engineered with the idea
of arousing, as it, actually did, revulson
of feeling in favor of the dynasty. The
Saturday Review compares the known
power of the Gras rifle bullets, capable of
piercing eighteen inches of solid oak, with
the slight dent in the metal lamp, and the
small mark on the woodwork where the
horses had several slight abraisions, and
that the harness was cut, and concludes
with congratulating. the King that the
horses did not bolt, in which event there
might have been some danger"

THn HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Ef Defeated i'm Executive Session =
Resolution VIII BE introduced.

Resolution VIII BE Introduced.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Senate
committee on foreign relations held two
hours sitting to-day in an effort to decide
upon what course to pursue with reference
TO the Hawaiian annexation treaty When
the meeting adjourned the members re-
fused absolutely to give out any Informal
ton to the press. saying that all present
had pledged themselves to absolute secrecy
1t was learned through other senators, how
ever that the committee had under consid-
GRAFTON the advisability of taking up the
question OF annexation in the way of legis-
1ation rather than by the means of ratify-
ing the treaty, and that they had decided
not to abandon the treaty, at least imme-
diately, but to press its consideration upon
TIE Senate at the first opportunity. They
declined to say ever to senators what might
&c their course l3tar, combining themselves
TO the declaration that they would seek to
have the Senate go into executive session
again for the consideration of the treaty as
soon as the appropriation bills could be got
out OF the way.
The present intention of the committee 1t
was learned tonight, is to hold the treaty
In executive session until test vote can be
secured, and ii is still understood that the
Bacon amendment will be used for this pur-
pose. If the result of this vote indicates
that vote on the treaty itself would re-
suit in its defeat, the friends of annexation
will then resort to the expedient of Joint
up the question in this shape in open ses-
sion, with the view of securing the concur
renee of the House. Some difference of
opinion developed in the committee as to the
wisdom of resuming the executive sessions
at all, but II was urged that many of the
senator's would not assent to the changed
at least test vote on the treaty itself. and
this view is understood to have prevailed.

LONDON, March 5-If the Tien-Tsin cor
respondent of the Daily Mail was well in
formed IL saying Japan has addressed a
note to Russia demanding an immediate
and explicit statement on the question of
the continued occupation of Port Arthur,
1t must lead, taken in conjunction with
the activity in the identification of Wei
Hai-Wei, to a recrudescence of the uncer-
tainty, worry and alarm which kept the
two hemiSphereS on tentorhooks at Christ
mas time AS the Associated Press pointed
dreaded that Japan would take Isolated ac-
ton in defense of Corean neutrality. To
this trouble which seems to be brewing
is attributable the continued dispatch Of
Russian, French and British reinforcements
to the far East. Evidently Japan is prepar-
ing for the struggle with Russia which
must come some day and which will be the
fiercer the longer it is delayed.

British Precautions Against an Enemy
Shipping Into the HarbOr.


LONDON, March 5.-The semi-consterna-
ton which was created at the time or
Prince Henry's visit here. when the German
war ships Deutschland and Gefion suddenly
doomed out of the fog without having pre-
viously been sighted has aroused the au-
thorities to a sense of the necessity of tax
ing additional precautions, and they are
now erecting quick-firing guns and search
lights. At the entrance of Portsmouth har-
Dor there will be a light powerful enough
to sweep Spithead, and guns will be SO
placed that ships entering must pass under
their muzzles. The Admiralty has also or
dered the prompt delivery of ten Pinch
guns and twenty-four six-inch quick-f1ring
guns of a new pattern, the special features
of which are their breech mechanism and
a new apparatus for working the primers.
The new guns work wholly automatically,
and at their firing trials gave the greatest
satisfaction, the round taking only six and
half seconds and eight rounds being fired
in fifty-six seconds. They have striking
power of 5374 foot tons, against 3,241 attain
able by the present guns. The officials here
claim these are the best results obtained by

Not a Candidate for senator.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The fact is
coming to light in Washington that many
admir1ng friends have importuned Mr..
Hugh Hanna, of Indianapolis. TO become a
candidate for United States senator. In
each and every instance he is said to have
made reply that such a thing was out Of
the question. and that he could not afford
to put himself in a position where he might
be charged with having taken an active part
IN the sound-money campaign to further
political ambition. He thought too much of
his own reputation and of his standing with
the people to get himself into any such an
unhappy situation
