throughout the state generally that Mime

people about the capitol last winter to have
filed a new one, and the people of this great
commonwealth are averse to seeing the sub
ject tackled again for fear the entire legls-

ated.

They were poor and so was the horse;
not because they could help it, but be-

Still Open to Objection.

ga Taxpayer" replies in this morn
ing's G. o b e to some of the objections
urged against a revolving fund into
which local assessments might be paid
and from which the cost Of local i'm
provements might be drawn. One
point made by him is clearly valid.
The diversion of money from one fund
to another is not permissible under the
strict regulations Of the existing char
ter; which, it is to be assumed, will be
sion. Thus far the dangers feared
would be guarded against
The other objections remain in full
force. Especially is this true of the
creation Of new debt through the is
sue of certificates of Indebtedness by
which the fund must be started We
are inclined to think that the revolv-
ing fund might be worth a trial if the
city had the cash at the outset. If we
could constitute such a fund out of cur
rent resources, to be replenished as
fast as assessments were paid, we
might at least make the experiment;
hoping that the provisions of the Bell
charter would be effective to prevent
the abuses arising heretofore But the
increase of certificates of indebtedness
is looked at askance by all those who
hold high the credit of the city and it's
reputation for reducing instead of add
ing to it's debt.
Taxpayer" also forgets that interest
must be paid upon such obligations.
1t is possible that contractors might
lower their bids if assured of imme-
date payment It is certain that the
revolving fund would create an inter-
est charge from which we could get no
relief until the money had been accu-
mulated from some source sufficient to
retire the certificates permanently
Therefore it still seems best to us, as
long as conditions remain as they are
at present, to take the slow and safe
route, and to keep down the total of
outstanding obligations and interest
payments as far as possible.

NEW CORAL THEORT T.
Pref AGassin, Hack from the south Seas. Brings
view Scientific Idena.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Feb. 12.-Pro Alex
ander Agassiz arrived to-day from Homo.
lulu. He has spent several months in the
South Seas, mainly devoted to the study ofcoral
animals. Darwin and Dana held that coral is
made, sinks, and Is replenished on tho surface.
This, they taught, continued indefinitely, and
this process was called tho theory of subsidence.
It 10 now the opinion of Prof. Agassiz that coral
is o comparatively thin crust formed upon u
mountain that has boon submerged, or upon o
volcanic pile. In nearly every instance where
borings have been made the coral had bocn found
to be shallow. At a few places where It seems
TO have q depth that might substantiate the
theories Of Darwin, Prof. Agassiz proves that the
material into which the deep borings are made
IS limo of q former age of earth. He shows
that the admixture of sand with the coral estab-
fishes the surface or shallow reef conclusion.
Foundation for coral in every instance is proved
to be Of such material and Of such shape as to
warrant tho conclusion that coral is a cap to sub
merged mountains and volcanic upheavals.

ST.. LOUIS, NO., Feb. 1.-Two road agents,
armed with revolvers, attempted TO hold up the
passengers on tho Iron Mountain south.bound
fast mail train near Bismarck. Mo-, early this
morning. Tho bandits succeeded in robbing
only one man, waltor L. Peters Of 215 North
Twenty.irst street, this city. The remaining
passengers, some with pistols and others only
with their doubled fists, rushed toward the
robbers, who first levelled their revolvers to-
ward the crowd and then leaped from the train.
The robbers boarded tho cars at Tower Grove
station In this city. When the train left Bis.
marck they suddenly arose and ordered the pas.
sengers In the smoker to throw up their hands.
Peters. who was nearest them. complied, but
not until he had dropped a fat wallet under his
seat. The robbers then searched and relieved
him Of go. Meanwhile some one pulled the bell
cord. The train crew rushed 10 the coach and,
with the assistance Of the passengers, who had
rallied. advanced toward tho robbers, who lev
ellod their revolvors.
STAND back, you FOOLS" one Of the bandits
ordered.
But tho order WAS Of no avail, and the culpriM
fed. A posse gave useless pursuit. The local
police and half a dozen Sheriffs Of southern
Missouri are seeking the robbers.

The mystery as to how tho letter from Sehor
do LONE to Seior Canalojas fell into tho hands
Of the Cuban Junta seems to have been solved.
According to advices from Havana re-
ceived yesterday, Senior Manuel Serann
,Pichardo, Bon.in.law of the Spanish
Senior Arturo Amblard. and a
correspondent in Havana of Senior Canalejas's
Madrid newspaper. was the man who gave the
letter to the Cuban agent, who brought It to
the Junta. Piohardo, 1t IL said. was actuated by
q spirit of personal revenge, and not in
tho loast by a desire to benefit the Cuban
cause. He wanted TO disgrace Dc LONE,
because the letter contained q remark about
Senior Amblard which he deemed insulting.
There goes Amblard," said Dc Lome to
Canalejas, II believe he comes too deeply taken
up with little political matters. and there must
be something very great or we shall lose"
Canaleias showed the letter to Pichardo. who
told his father.in.law OF the reference to him.
There 10 no doubt now that THE Sun was
right in saying that Canalejas was not
entirely ignorant of what was going on.
Besides his intimacy with Pichardo, and
the ~latter's connection with Eel Herdldo
de Madrid. Pichardo Ia also one of tho editors
of La Lucha OF Havana, tho newspaper which
violently attacked De LONE. The connection
between Ell heraIdo's campaign In Madrid
against De, LONE, Ia Lucha,s campaign in
Havana and the publication Of tho letter By tho
Junta is now fully established.
The intimacy of Pichardo and Canalejas
began In Madrid long before Pichardo married
the daughter of Senior Amblard. Plchardo 10 q
poet. and Canalejas, as an influential journalist,
helped him greatly. and when Pichardo re-
turned to Havana appointed hin correspondent
Of his newspaper there.
It is. we'll known In Havana that Amblard
strongly opposed his daughters marriage to

influence OF Canalejas, who 10 Amblard's init
mate friend.
Amblard has assumed a political attitude
with regard to autonomy In Cuba similar to
that OF Senior Canalejas. He refused to accept
a portfolio in the Autonomist Cabinet.
In short, Senior de LONE made q great mistake
when he wrote to Sehor Canalejas that Senior
Amblard was "too much taken up with little
political matters"

KINGSTON, Feb. 12.-Au Kingston Is talking
about tho queer counter claim that Miss Annie
Mulhearn has made to an action against her by
Dr.. Edward J. Gallagher to collect n bill of S63
for professional services. DR.. Gallagher is
young, unmarried and extremely popular with
both sexes. He ia a native Of Liberty in the
Catskills. Five years ago he was graduated
from Sc. Peters College, Albany, and settled
here. where he has built up q fne practice. His
appearance In court as plaintiff against one Of
the best known young ladies in the city has
attracted attention.
DR.. Gallagheris attorney submitted to Judge
Stephen his client complaint and demanded &63
for medical services. Miss Mulhearn's attorneys
made Q general denial Of the charges and alleged
that she called DR.. Gallagher to attend her for
Q slight soreness of tho throat: He directed her
to use something which made her. sick for Q
relieve her from sickness caused by the use Of
his prescription. She says many alleged pro-
fessional. Gala were OF a tocsal .natpp1. M

and keep her and her sister from their household
duties. In view of tho annoyance and loss Of
time she suffered through these visits. she puts
in a counter claim of 800. The case has boon
adjourned until March a. when 1t will be tried
by a jury.
Miss Mulhearn is about % years Of age. She
lives with her parents and was for some time
employed AZ . companion in the Van Rensselaer,
