w"re found. none Of them tailed with the
description OF Buck Taylor. Freight
trains Were closely watched. and frequent

ALEXANDRIA, Va. May 15, 1890.
The United States coast survey vessel
Pathfinder, commanded by Captain Ross,
arrived here last night and is now anchored
in the harbor. Captain Ross came ashore
this morning and proceeded to Washington
He stated that the Pathfinder had steamed
from Sandy Hook to Quantlco In thirty-five
hours and forty-five minutes. This was a
rate of speed considered highly satisfactory
for the vessels maiden trip. The captain
stated that, while ne knew nothing posi-
tive. his vessel would probably proceed to
Washington and remain there to take part
IN naval exercises during the peace jubilee
Military Enrolment.
Up to this morning about forty names
had been enrolled for enlistment in the
Alexandria Light Infantry. As soon as
the requisite number is received Capt. King
will call a meeting of the signers and for
ward the list to Richmond
One of the first duties devolving upon the
company after it is put on an active footing
will be to raise funds for the Improvement
of the armory on South Royal street. An
entire new flooring is badly needed and
other repairs are necessary. 1t is probable
that an excursion will be given TO raise the
required funds.
Mystery Concerning a Burial.
During services in St. Mary's Catholic
Church yesterday morning Rev. Father W.

of adding Sl,O0O,000 year to the
states revenues, will become effective
next Monday, but no inspector has
been appointed to collect the tax. A
law to tax department stores out of ex-

time. These two laws are supposed to
be little better than jokes. After this

M. Edouard Foa, the indefatigable
hum unitarian and scientist, has pro-
posed to the directors of the Worlds
Exposition of 1900 that an information
al congress be convened for the pro-
lection and salvation of elephants. Nj.
FOa pointed out in former agitation
that If the present humiliation tactics
of the ivory importers are allowed to be
continued there will not be an elephant
left in Africa in thirty years. He de-
monstrates that the average tanned
elephant can do the work of thirty
horses. The range of the elephant has
already been confined to the source of
the Zambesi, to the Upper Nile, and to
Victoria Nyanza.
According to paper by M. Gaut-

changes in the Japanese national type
of face since they began to adopt Euro
pean customs. Many of the children
seem to be losing the yellow sipge of
the skin and the fiat nose of their an
cestors. On the other hand, Europeans
long settled in Japan have lost their
red and white complexion, and come to
resemble the Japanese.
