NEW YORK, Jan. IA dispatch tc
the Herald from Paris. says:
The riots which occurred in Havans
have much significance. An officer, q
strong Weylerite, who was to have
been shipped home and who has been
attacked in a newspaper for his bad
conduct, went with some companions
and wrecked the Office of a newspaper.
He was Immediately joined by large
crowds of members of the revolution
ary element, and they proceeded to
wreck another newspaper office, but
the mob was stopped by the police aud
the officer arrested. He wilt be tried
by court-martial.
The crowd increasing, the local vol.
unteers were called out. The mob
thss@dispersed with cries of "Long
live Weyler!" Down with Blanco,
the United States and autonomy"
This public demonstration and the
ueterances of the crowd are evidences
not hitherto given, and show the feel
ing of the reactionists, which is proba-
bly, equally bitter toward the Spanish
and the United States.
The news of the uprising excited
acute interest in Madrid. Placards
were posted upon prominent places
what the evening papers
would publish later on, and these were
surrounded by crowds of people Later
on, when the papers came out, there
was rush for them. Men read them,
covered up to their eyes with the typi-
cal Spanish cloaks. and in the cafes
and clubs all were intent on knowing
the details.

Three years ago everybody wanted =
Columbian half dollar and an Isabeila
quarter, and wanted IL bad. II sny-
body who wanted either of the worlds
fair souvenirs bad enough TO psy over
dollar for it, he could generally getit
without much trouble. Sentiment.
however, is Just about as liable 70 slump
as the wheat market, and anyone who
has the hard money silver mementoes
of the fair to-day could probably be per-
suaded TO part with Columbian half
dollar for about 81 cents. and hand over
the Isabella coin for about q cent plus
quarter of dollar. The coins never
enjoyed the popularity that was ex-
pected. Two million five hundred thou
sand of the Columbian half dollars were
coined, and 10000 Isabella qusrtefs.
Four hundred thousand Of the half dci-
ior and about 5000 of the quarters afe
still in the subtreasury Of the Unitett :
State right in Chicago in the Bsnds1fc-
Nally building. About a year and haif
ago rule was made by the treasury de-
partment that. these half dollars could
be evenly exchanged for gold. Inc
worlds fair souvenir sentiment wRs not
quite dead yet, and there was enoukho o.
1t alive to send 5000, 900 in gold buzEing

400, 900 of the coins. At that time thern
was about 100000 of the halves in the
subtreasnry. About half of this amount
was left after the first rush was made
to exchange gold for the halves on even
terms Almost thissentire half etill re-
mains in the subtreasury, and there APP
pears to be no wild desire on the part of
holders of gold to exchange any of itfor
the Colombian souvenirs.
Assistant Subtreasurer J. C. Pratt
said that in all probability the treasury
department would some day give out
.he Columbian silver money rs ordinary
currency. ste@
A most interesting regulation exists Z
regarding the disposition Of the isabelle
quarters, As only 10000 of the quarters
were ever coined they are, Of course,
rare, and far more scarce than the
halves. According to o rule Of the
treasury these. quarters are only paid
out on drafts of worlds fair ofhci2ls.
OF course. many have been taken outof
the treasury under this regulation. and
the $1,000 or $500 remaining IN the
vaults of the subtreasury win probably !,
De exhausted before very long by worlds
fair drafts. Mr.. Pratt said that 80 far
as he could see the half dollars were
not now priced very highly by the hold

they come in quite often to the treasury
in ordinary business transactions, juss

A SERIOUS SITUATION.
Blanco is Unable to Cope With Affairs at
Havana.

Blanco Is Unable to Cope With Affairs at
havana.
NEW YORK, Jan. I7.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says:
The Derpetuation of Spanish power
in Cuba now depends on Blanco's abil-
ity to maintain order in Havana. Until
the governments shows itself master of
that city no other question can be con-
sidered. Ministry operations against
the insurgents are forgotten. Progress
with autonomy is a figment. The tur.
moil seems ended for the present.. The
presence of 5000 or 5000 regular troops
gives promise that the calm will last
long enough for review of the pros
pect. A single week has given Hava-
ma a more vivid idea of what war is
than all the events of three years of
insurrection.
The tact and forbearance with which
the officers carried out their orders has
brought the government temporarily
through the crisis. When the mob
was crying death to Blanco and to
autonomy. self-restraint wasnecessary.
Tie cries for Weyler were the most
pronounced OF all. They showed that
he had mary partisans in the city who
are determined to proclaim themselves.
The authorities Tor month haI.
been taking precantionsag against hos.
tile demonstration. They did not ex-
pect that it would be encouraged by
officers of the army. Until these OH.
GERS are properly disciplined respect
for the government cannot be restored
and General Blanco does not seem pow
erful enough to cashier them.
General Lees advices to the state
department are conservative, but set
forth the real situation clearly. He
does not recommend immediate inter-
vention. yet he does not lake hope
full view of the ability OF the Spanish
authorities to restore public order per-
manently.
The government newspapers deplore
the rioting, and say that it has done
more for the insurrection that Gomez
or Garcia could do. They also say that
1t will have bad effect in the United
States.
The question of sending warships
will have to be determined soon. No
demonstration has yet
The trouble lies betweend
Spanish factions, and apparently their
minds are fully occupied with destroys
ing autonomy. If further rioting
should break out it is possible that q
feeling would be aroused against Amer
leans which would be hard to restrain. |

FOUND IN THE PEAT BEDS.
Remains of Prehistoric Animals Discovered
In ENGLAND.


In England.
From time to time the peat beds at
Newbury have. yielded abundant re-
mains of prehistoric animals which in
primeval ages roamed along the Ken
net valley, when the physical condi-
tions obtaining in western Europe were
altogether different from those which
now prevail-before. in fact, the present.
insular position was brought about, In
these peat beds, according to London
dispatch, have been found the remains
of the colossal mammoth, including the
portion of a tuslk which, when entire,
length, together with the bones, teeth
sor horns of other animals which have
Z utterly disappeared from the face Of
the earth. The drainage works which
care now being carried ON in the to-
'of Newbury have brought to LIGHT,
mostly in high state of preservation,
numerous bones, skulls, and other fos-
sill portions of animals which lived on
subsequently to the disappearance OF
the post-glacial mammals, sach as the
wolf, bear, wild boar, red deer. 1 ae.
of flint, charactcrizing the age of
stone, have alco been found in the
lower layers Of the peat, from which it
is evident that the prehistoric ilhabit-
ants of the river valley possessed f'rcat
dexterity in the fabrication OF t.,cse
primitive weapons and tools, some of
the knives being beautifully clipped
and presenting an edge almost as fire
as razor. Several articles of later
epoch have been also met with, form
ing curious nclanSc, such as bronze
buckles of many kinds, implements q
bone, Roman pottery, few coins, a
variety of keys In the upper or made
earth of the cuttings in that part OF the
town fought over by cavalier and
roundhcad many relics of the period
have been found, including portions of
swords, stirrup-irons, spurs, brillebits,
horseshoes and many other things of
this date

o. X. &N.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The Financial
Chronicle says:
"Regarding the reported control of
the Oregon Short Line and the Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation Company
by the Union Pacific. through pur-
chase of majority of the stock of the
Oregon Short Line, we are authori.
lively informed that there has heen no
change in the situation regarding the
Oregon Short Line stocks since the
Union Pacific reorganization acquired,
some weeks ago, the block of stocks
amounting to sS,460,0O0 from the
trustees of the collateral trust mort
gage of 1891, securing Union Pacific
gold notes, 6s. While this block of
stock gives the Union Pacific pre-
ponderating holding of the Short
Lines stock, of which the total is
81, 800, it does not, we are informed,
give the company majority interest,
Dor is there any intention to disturb
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company voting trust, which runs
until 1905.
"The importance of preserving the
independence of the Oregon Railroad
& Navigation as a terminal in the To-
terest of three companies, the Union
Pacific, Great Northern and Northern
Pacific, is thought to warrant the be-
lief that no one of these companies
will attempt an independent control"

Spooner was paired with Turpie, the
foomer for and the latter against the
motion. The motion was then made
to declare Mr.. Corbett not entitled to
his seat, and Was carried by the above
vote, reversed.
The voting was proceeded by quite
general discussion, based upon re-
port prepared by Senator Pettus, on
behalf of the opposition. This report
took the position that the question in
volved is practically the same as that
involved in the Mantle case, and this
case should be allowed to stand as a
precedent. Senator Pettus made an
argument in favor of establishing
principle of action in such cases, and
allowing it to stand, taking the posi-
tion that there was danger in not TAX
ing the same course every time the
political complexion of the senate
changes.
