We search every nook and corner of the structure carefully as soon as the doors are closed for the day, and you may rest assured if any one who had no business within these walls was found he would regret the day he was born"
 In addition to the two shifts Of night guards Superintendent Boyer and As sistant Custodian Ramsay have a habit of dropping in at the mint at odd hours of the night 10 see that every thing is going on all right.
 The mint is connected with the cen tral telephone station, and should there be trouble the captain of the guard could communicate wifh police headquarters in brief space of time. When the trouble with Spain reached crisis, however, it occurred to Mr. Boyer that it might be well to be con nected directly with the central police station in the city hall. He communi- eated his ideas to Director of the Mint Preston, and was told to go ahead. Consequently 1t will not be many days before hurry call can be sent from the mint to the police department without the delay incidental to a con neetion through "hello" headquarters.
 If you come across anybody who thinks he can get rich quickly by help ing himself to our coin," remarked Superintendent Boyer in parting, just advise him to think it over care fully first"
 In compliance with the superin- tendent's suggestion the advice is here by given.

Gunboaf Dolphin at
 Santiago. E

One of the interesting details of the second shelling of the coast defenses at Santiago was performed by the gun boat Dolphin, popularly known during Mir. Cleveland's administration as "the presidents yacht" and further known to naval men as .sthe ship which broke John Roach" Firing had ceased, and the vessels taking part withdrew off shore. Presently the Dolphin, break ing from the rest, steamed back and began spirited action against some thing OF land. There was a railroad bridge if sight, so the supposition was that she.was trying to knock the slen- der steel supports from under it. But presently her business was plain to sight. At one end of the bridge there was a short tunnel; into this train had hurried and stopped, having escaped the solid shot with which the Dolphin had attempted to strike it. It was, as 1 say, short tunnel. When the engineer had his locomotive hid- den, the rear of the train was still ex- posed, and when the conductor ordered him forward so as to cover the rear, the locomotive as .far as its bell projected from the tunnels mouth. Thus the Dolphin kept it lodging until 6 shell to the rear tore up rails and bed, and another to the front detached Q piece of the hill, and stuffed the tunnels mouth with it. Hay ing (aetually) put the enemy in a hole, the Dolphin turned back to the flagship. and reported that she had captured a prize but found it impossible to tow it to port

IN HYDE PARK WITH CARLYLE.

In company with Mr.. Froude, the his

Nothing could we'll be more curious at

Carlyle He had then been living in
London nearly forty years, yet he had
the untamed aspect of one just arrived

perienced coat such as Thoreau attri-
butes to his Scottish fisherman, one hav-
ing that unreasonably high collar of
other days, in which the head was sunk.
His hair was coarse and stood up at it's
own will; his bushy whiskers were
thrust into prominence by those stiff col
"father-killers, from a tradition that
their points once pierced the jugular vein
of a parent during an affectionate en-
brace. In this guise, with fur cap and
a stout walking stick, he accompanied

POLO NOTES.

Sizing up the present status of the
Maine polo league, the boston Herald
says: "The way that the Bath and
Rockland teams have fallen behind in
the race in Maine has been very surpris-
ing to their admirers, while the Lewiston
people are fairly beside themselves with
joy over the magnificent showing of their
pets. Lewiston has been the hardest nut
that Portland has had to crack this
year and thus far has been fairly irwin

FOOD SUPPLY AT DAWSON.

Skaguay, January II, via Seattle, 3d.
Thirty persons have arrived here during
the past week from the Klonuike mining
region. They say there is food enough
at Dawson to last until the Yukon river
is open. Supplies must be received by
that time though, if suffering is to be-
averted. In reference to the proposed gov
eminent expedition all agree that it will
be impossible to forward supplies down
the river ON the ice. The winter in the
interior up to the present has been re-
markable mild and it is the opinion of
old timers that the river will not freeze
over this winter.
Inspector Of Mines McGregor, who left
Skaguay sometime ago with seven tons
of provisions and Is horses, has only
reached White Horse range. 1t will be
impossible for him to take the horses
down the Thirty Mile river unless he
can build RATS and float them down.
He and his party are building q road
under White Horse rapids and are maxi
ing fair progress.

Washington, January 22.-GoFernor
John W. Griggs of New Jersey was today
nominated by President Mckinley to I'LL
the vacancy caused by the appointment
of Attorney General McKenna as
judge on the Supreme bench.
Governor John W. Griggs of New Jer-
sey is one of the foremost Republicans IN
the state of which he is the chief execu-
tive.
He entered Lafayette college in 1864,
and was graduated from that institution
four years later. Soon afterward he was
admitted to the practice of law. He was
always interested in politics and in 1875
he ran for the legislature of New Jersey
and was elected in a seemingly hopeless
Democratic district.
Seven years later he succeeded the
present Vice President of the United
States, Garrett A. Hobart, as state sena-
tor, and in 1886 he was president of the
New Jersey Senate.

HOT TIME IN PARIS.
Row in Chamber of Deputies Only
Equalled by Reichsrath Riots.

Paris, January 25.-It is agreed on all
sides that Saturdays scene in the cham
Der of deputies was almost without prece-
dent except the recent disturbances in
the Austrian Reichsrath. Curiously
enough, Count Badoni, former Austrian
premier, witnessed it.
After the chamber was cleared 12o
torn off neckties were picked up, together
with many coats that had been torn by
the deputies from each others should
ers. M. Clovis Hughes, one of the depu-
ties for the department of the Seine, had
q door slammed in his fingers which
are SO mutilated that he is in charge OF
a surgeon. The scene OF the hghtlng
around the tribune was Unparalleled.
Comte de Bernis is retired cavalry OIL
Ger and has the rough manners OF the
bull fighting town of Mines, where he Will
be a candidate at the next elections.
M. Jaures Is thick set, ford and hairy.

The latter was hustled and knocked
about like foot ball in his attempt to
deal Comte de Bernis a blow. Some
so deputies were in the fight. Cravats
were seized in the attempts to choke an
opponent. During lull in the fight
M. Gevaruh- Richard was seen in tatters,
his cravat torn Off and his shirt front
torn open while his svmpathizers were
patting him on the back. Suddenly Comte
dc Bermis bounded up the stairs of the
tribune, dealt M. Jaures heavy blow
on the back of the head and kicked him
on the legs. M. Jaures was knocked
over and stumbled down the steps. Pick
ing himself up he saw Comte de Bernie
making off with crowd of deputies,
while the remainder of the house hooted
him, crying coward, traitor"
M. Jaures threw knotted handker-
chief after him. Comte de M. Brisson,
president of the chamber, finding it i'm
possible to restore order, departed and
the military entered at the request, it is
said, OF a questor, who feared loss Of
life if the scenes were continued. 1t
seems that Comte de Bernis had pro-
voked the luminosity OF the Socialists
at previous sittingsby accusing them
of being in the pay of the Dreyfus syn

Opinions differ greatly as to the out
come of the affair. Some say the cabinet
has gained a great victory; others be-

AN ICE TOMB.
Bodies Preserved for Years in alpine
Glaciers

Quite recently news came from Switzer-
land of the recovery of the body of lady
who was lost when climbing in the Alps
no fewer than thirty-two years ago. The
tale may well sound incredible to anyone
unacQuainted with the conditions that
prevail above the snow line, but the pre-
cedents for the occurrence are, as matter
of fact, fairly numerous, says the London
Daily Graphic. The glacier is not
fixed, but a constantly moving tomb, and
it seldom fails to give up its dead after
certain lapse of time. 1t seems but the
other day that the body of Captain Ark
wright was recovered at the foot of one OF
the Mont Blanc glaciers, in which 1T
had been imprisoned for three decades;
and precisely similar incident is record
ed in connection with the first catastro-
phe that ever occurred upon the monarch
of mountains. That was the celebrated
Hamel accident, in which several guides
fell into crevasse. All search for them
was in vain, but forty years afterward
their bodies reappeared in such perfect
state of preservation that they were iden-
titled without the smallest difficulty.

THE GREAT GAME.
Ease Ball Enthusiasts Talking of an Inter-
state League.


Base ball enthusiasts are talking over
the formation of an interstate base ball
league, to comprise Manchester, Lowell.
Lawrence, Nashua, Portland and Lew
iston. With this combination the cities
could easily be paired on holidays and in
each case the cities are rivals. In
Lewiston the scheme is being talked
over with enthusiasm. 1t is stated
to the PRESS on good authority that a
dozen responsible Lewiston men stand
ready to back the scheme in that town.
Here in Portland the matter is being
talked over and may result in something
besides talk. In other towns mentioned
there has been considerable interest
aroused. Base ball men say the league
would pay if a salary limit were placed
at $500 to 5000 per month.

LoNGsTREET CONFIRMED.

Washington, January 1.-Two amend
ments were offered in the Senate today to
the Teller resolution, one by Mr.. Nelson
of Minnesota declaring it to be the duty
of the government under existing laws to
maintain the parity in value of its gold
and silver money and the other by Mr..
Spooner of Wisconsin substituting for the
Teller resolution declaration that it is
the financial policy of the United States
to maintain the existing gold standard
until an International agreement with
the leading commercial nations Of the
world for the free coinage of silver shall
be reached. There was no debate upon
either amendment, both being postponed
after Mr.. Stewart of Nevada had adj
dressed the Senate for an hour and half
on the resolution. The Senate devoted
an hour to the consideration of bills on
the calendar and shortly after three
O'Clock went into executive session.
The Senate spent two hours today in
discussing the nomination of Gen. Long
street to be commissioner of railroads.
When the nomination WAS taken up Mr..
Vest took the floor and opposed confrma.
ton in sharp and vigorous speech. He
was followed ON the same side of the floor
by Senators Daniel, Berry and Gallery.
The opposition was based upon the gen.
eral ground of Gen. Longstreet's connec-
tion with the Kellogg Warmount faction
in politics in Louisiana in the reconstruc-
tion days of that state. Mr.. Caffery was
especially Jealous in his opposition, say
ing that Gen. Longstreet had in those
days antagonized the best interests Of his
state. He held that the generals posi-

and knew that party to have been perfde-

people. These objections were replied to
by Senators Hoar, Chandler and Hawley,
Republicans; Turner, Populist, and
Bacon, Democrat. The Republican Sena-
tors who spoke characterized the oppo.
sition as course which looked like the
waving of thu "bloody shirt. p" Senator

ANOTHER HOLD UP.
The Lynn Bandits are Still at Their
Labors.

Lynn, Mass, January 22.-Another in
the series of holdups for which Lynn
has become SO noted occurred shortly be-
fore O'Clock tonight at the grocery store
of L. B. Usher, corner of Sumner and
Com mercial streets, West Lynn.
r red W. Usher, who conducts the store,
his 15-year-old son, land q customer named
Chesley, were in the store when the door
opened and three strangers entered. Each
wore q blue jean outer covering and q
mask of the same material and each
carried revolver. They ordered ''hands
up" and all the occupants of the store,
with the exception of Mr.. Usher, obeyed.
The latter, being somewhat deaf, did
not hear the command but made a dash
for back room. One Of the robbers
again shouted to him to throw up his
hands and receiving no response, fired
shot at him, the ball inficting flesh
wound on Mr.. Usher's neck.
Meantime second robber had gone be-
hind the counter and was attempting to
force open the money drawer. From
Mr.. Beckwith he took gold watch and
about IS in money and from Mr.. Chesley,
81. Then all three of the robbers hur-
riedly left the place, having failed to
secure the contents of the till. They
dropped Mr.. Beckwith's watch and one
of their masks in their flight. The police
have so fa- found no trace of them.
One of the three men was tall and slim,
the other two + being much shorter and
stouter, the description tallying with
those of the men who psrpetrated a SINH
lar holdup at Bartlett's store few weeks
ago. Mr.. Usher's wound is not serious.
