Raised Regarding the Proposed "Open Door"
 ''''s ,,.,,i in the Philippines. DERANGEMENI OF THG TARIFF
Which Can Only Be Prevented by the Adoption of Protection of One Part of the United States Against
 Another Part.

Washington, Nov. 28.-If there is no mistake about the 'open door" propo- sition reported to have been made by the american commissioners at Paris. very interesting question is raised as to the policy of the administration upon the acquisition Of the Philip pines.
 The statement Of this 'open door, proposition in the Paris dispatches was that Spain should for a term of years enjoy the same privileges for her ships and merchandise at the Phil ippine ports as is enjoyed by ships and merchandise of the United States.
 It is pointed out by those who have been looking into this subject with care that if such a proposition has been made it could have been suggest ed only with an understanding that the sovereignty of the Philippines in passing away from Spain would not rest with the United States.
 II the sovereignty passed to the United States it would not be possible to extend to Spain such privileges ex- cept, perhaps, during the period Of military government pending the for nal annexation of the islands. Under such conditions if the islands become d DdlG u IlAC lS1I4IO4y O4 IAC OA1Cb there can be TO tariff duties on goods snapped from the United States to the Philippines, nor here from those is- lands. The giving to Spain of equal privileges with the United States in the matter of shipping and merchan- disc would mean free trade TOT Spanish goods. and there could be no discrimi- nation between goods landed at Manila and at New York.
 The inference drawn, therefore, from the alleged proposition is that a plan is in contemplation which does not go as far as to annex the Philippine group of islands 10 the United States, but which vests the sovereignty of those islands nominally with their inhabi- tants. while the government would be under the actual direction of the fed eral authorities Of the United States.
 If such plan is in contemplation, as is surmised, a very heated controversy may be expected and lively political

United States of Central America
 Starts Out spiciously.

Nicaragua, Nov. 28.-The ceremonies incident to the organization on Ncvem- Der l of the United States of Central America, formed by the union of Nica- ragua, Salvador and Honduras, were brief and simple. President Reyes of the expiring diet Of the greater repub- lie of Central America, creaued on June 20. 1895, when the three presid 9nts formed the treaty of Amapala, deliv- cred to the three commissioners, one from each state all authority and pow CTS possessed heretofore by the diet. Each of the commissioners then made formal declaration and public decia- ration to support the constitution or the United States of Central America and all the laws made in accordance herewith.
 It is said that the powers" held bJ the diet and transferred to the govern- m.ant commission in greater part, were Actions and myths, and that the mem bers of the diet had no means of en- forcing their decrees. They once claimed 10 have charge of the war ships of Nicaragua, Honduras and Sal vador, and ordered the SalYad0riaU government to haul down it's fag from It's warship and sail under the flag of the diet, under pain of being declared pirate" The government, however.

CHICAGO AND ALTON PURCHASE
Negotiations Likely to Fall Through
 Cost Of Stock Prohibitive.

Chicago. Nov. 8.-Negoiations for the purchase by the Chicago and Alton railroad by the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf road are likely to fall through No progress was made at the confer ence between J. McB. Trimble, the rep resentative of President Stillwe1 of the Gulf road and President Mitchell of the Illinois Trust and Savings bank The latter, it is sa4u, has authority only to sell the stock held by J. J. Mitchell of St. Louis and a few others.
 President Blackstone has named the price at which he would dispose of his holdings. but on condition only that the same price be paid for the stock held by all the other stockholders. MT. Blackstone thus proposes to protect the smaller stockholders and prevent their being squeezed out. While President Blackstone owns only about one-siXth of the entire stock of the road, enough more is intrusted to his care by eastern parties to give him a controlling ln- tarest
 The Stillwell interest is said to be willing to purchase the stock owned by Messrs. Blackstone and Mitchell, and enough more to give them a controil- ing interest at the figure named by MT. Blackshone, but they are unwilling to buy the stock Of all the stockholders, because the cost would be so grea- as to afford them no chance to make the investment profitable.

Ever hear of the trolley buzz?" said
q Brooklyn resident whose business is

at uniform speed, and then declining
again as the car runs slower and stop

there are people who travel regularly on

time wherever they are, except when
they are asleep. They call this having

WOOD MOSAIC or sAWDUsT.
Highly Orna mental Process for Mold
ing Doors and Floor Material.

Highly OrnG a.G1tal process 1Or MOIu-
ing Doors and Floor Material.
In the reports OF the Industrial union
mention is made of a new process OF
floor mosaic, says the Yale Scientific
Monthly. Small particles of<woOd, as
ss.wdust. wood -four and fine shavings,
are treated first with mixture Of shell
lac and alcohol, and then with cement
made of curd and Stacked lime. While
this mixture is still damp, it is put into
hot molds of the desired shape and size,
and placed under pressure. The joint
action OF the heat and pressure unite
the wood most thoroughly with both
the shellac and the cement. After few
minutes the compound is taken out OF
the mclds when it is thoroughly coolel
and hardened. Great care is necessary
that no foreign substances, especially
Of an oily nature. be present, as it would
prevent the cement from being all
sorbed into the pores of the wood. In
making different colored mosaic the
natural color Of the woods used is taken
into consideration, then the wood itself
is dyed, and lastly dyes dissolved in
alcohol are mixed with the shellac. The
process is then performed as before.
In spite Of its hardness this compound
possesses all the perfection of wood, so
that it is particularly well adapted for
use as a floor covering in living rooms
and private dwellings,. An important
advantage over all other processes OF
manufacturing mosaic floors is that il
is not affected by any change of tenn

kINGING DOOR BELLS.

A Pastime That Seems to Be Dfsap-
, pearing from the Sports of Youth.
'In the days when knockers graced
the house door," said Mr.. Stoggleton,
reports the New York Sun, ''the
small boy found sport in banging
the knocker and running. When bells
came in he yanked on the bell pull and
then fled. Nowadays he mysteriously
presses the button; but the sport of
calling people to the door for nothing
is not what it was; and it seems prob
able that with the general introduction
of the push button, it will finally fall
into decadence.
There was some fun in pounding
with the door knocker, whose thunder
reverberated through the hall and filled
the house, all of which you could hear
yourself. And you could yank the bell
pull out to the limit, causing the bell to
fly almost off the spring; there was fun
in this. But there is no such fun in
pushing in a push button. You can
press that in perhaps q quarter of an
inch, and that is all you can do with it
Say you are in the vestibule of a fiat
Very likely you don't hear the bell ring
at all; it may be that it is up three OF
four flights of stairs; you hear no sound
Nobody comes to the door; you don It
have to run. Possibly the people whose
bell you have rung may press a button
up there in the air somewhere and YOU
may hear the click of the door-opener
at your side, or they may not do even
that.
ut is dry fun; not like the old slam
bang knocker on the outside of the door
or the bell pull with the jingle bell right
in the hall"

A Prehistoric Needle Factory.

Much interest has been awakened in
England by the discovery of prehis-
toric lake village near Glastonbury.
The dwellings were placed on mounds
Of clay raised above the level of the
water. The framework of a primitive
loom was found under one mound. and
the number of broken bone needles and
bone splinters discovered in another
mound led the explorers to think that
it may have been the site of an ancient
needle factory. Very few human bones
have been discovered, but among the in
teresting finds is a blue glass bead, with
waving dark line running around it.
One of the mounds contains 300 tons of
clay, all of which must have been dug
from the surrounding hills and carried

Reason for the General Ropugnance to a

The authorities were fully aware Of
the conspiracy, and, instead Of taking
steps TO nip it in the bud, they armed
the populace to massacre the Armenian
population as soon as the first bomb
exploded, says the English illustrated
Magazine. TO crush the plot was simply
to seize a handful Of men; to let them
have their way was TO enjoy the opp0r-
iun;ty Of Strengthening several thou
sands of innocent people. This was so
characteristic Of Turkish statecraft
that it cannot surprise anybody who
is acquainted with the Ottoman system
Of government. The .:omplicity of
the police was attested by numbers u
cyewitnesses, who told me they had
seen both ends of q street guarded by
the zaptchs, while the mob broke into
the houses and murdered the inmates.

lister the admission that verbal instruc-

To call this the suppression Of 80 ris-

the literary graces of the sultan and
his clerks. The actual killing Of Ar
menians before the eyes Of the foreign
residents was considerable business:
