PITTSBURG. March 1.-THE delay by
the Carnegie Steel Company's attorneys
in filing the answer TO II. c. Tricks suit
is considered here as proof that the talk
of a compromise may. turn out to be true.
and the conference that President Schwab
held on Thursday with Mr.. Tricks repre-
sentatives has strengthened the impress
sion. Mr.. Prick wants SIC. 600, 600 instead
of the So 600. coo which the Carnegie COM
pany is willing to give him for his inter-
ests in the company, payable in INSTALL
ments of $500. 600 a year. Those who be-
lieve that a compromise will be reached
say that the company can better afford to
give Mr.. Prick what he asks than to take
its business affairs into court and show
the sources and amounts of its profits
and also because the continuance OF dis
sension among the stockholders may re-
duce the estimated profits of $40 600. 600
for 1900 by as many millions as would be
needed to satisfy Frick.

he cannot afford to compromise with Frick

A Curious Rescue.

A curious rescue was effected recent ly In the County Wicklow, Ireland. Some time in April last an unfortunate sheep became imprisoned on part of the rugged cliffs arising from the banks of the Upper Lake Glendalough, and though many plans were proposed to get 1t down, no one was found will- ing to undertake the risk, when a gen. tleman from South Africa volunteered to rescue the poor animal. After an arduous and exciting climb, he man. aged to reach the spot, and, having at- tached a rope to the sheep, it was lowered to the lake, where boat was ready to receive it. So hungry was 1.e poor brute that when dangling in the air it tried to bite at the tufts of grass on the face of the cliff. It must have died of starvation In a very few days more, as every bit of herbage within reach was nibbled to the earth Some idea of the risk this rescuer ran may be gathered from the fact that this particular spot has always been considered inaccessible, and that 1t took the gentleman fully two hours to make the ascent. The lake nnder the cliff is forty fathoms deep.

Make an Interesting Find.

Some chalk diggers have made an interesting find of a skeleton at Swans combe, Kent, England. It was that of a short, very thick-set man, and it Is thought he was probably Roman. A careful search was made for coins or weapons, or anything that could give a clue to the period or nationality of the skeleton, but nothing was found except some fiints, rudely shaped with some kind of splitting or chipping im- plement. The skeleton must have been where it was found for many hundreds of years. It was in the heart Of & chalk hill which had never been exca- vated before

OF HEARINGS AND sAwDusT.
Asphalt Pavements May Be Made from
These Substances.

These Substances.
 The notice of making asphalt arti- ficially from herrings and sawdust seems so extraordinary as to suggest burlesque. Nevertheless, this surpris ing feat has been accomplished by Prof. W. C. Day of Swarthmore college, near Philadelphia. Specimens of the product are now in possession of the geological survey in Washington, and were shown to a Washington core spondent by Prof. Diller, one of the members of the scientific staff of that government bureau. Not long ago a very curious mineral substance, up to that time unknown, was found in Utah, deposited in veins which had once been Assures in the rocks. These Assures had been choked up by bitu- minous matter gushing from the bow els of the earth, and in this way the deposits of gilsonite, as it is now called, were formed. It is a singu- larly pure species of asphalt, and is now being mined in a large way, the production of it constituting an im- portant industry. The stuff is used for making varnishes. For this purpose it is especially good, because varnishes made of it will not crack Conspicur ous streaks of the gilsonite run like strips of ribbon over hill and dale, so that they can be followed with the eye for miles. Some of this gum asphalt" as it is popularly called, was placed in the hands of Prof. Day for analysis, and he found that It's make up was such as to suggest an animal origin, at least in part It is believed nowadays by scientific men generally that asphalts ordinarily are derived from vegetable matter. Such matter, being laid down in vast beds during the coal-forming period, subsequently, underwent chemical processes.
 Censorship in Turkey.
 Turkish papers were not allowed to print the news of the assassination of the Austrian Empress. They simply announced that she had died.

Chinese Tea Transported Through Russia

Chinese Tea Transported Through Russia
 The Siberian News, of Tomsk, is ons of the few newspapers published in Si- beria. and gives some interesting par ticulars in regard to the transportation of Chinese tea through Russia. The Tomsk newspaper says proudly that in the first twenty days of last January no less than 19,000 sleighs loaded with tea passed through the Siberian city. Every sleigh carries usually five bales of tea, packed in OK skin, each weigh- ing from 100 to 160 pounds. The men sleep on the sleighs during the trip across Siberia, which lasts nearly one year. It would be shorter to send the Chinese tea by sea; but in this case the custom house duties are high, while they are comparatively small on tea imported by the land route. Russian merchants, who have long had most ot the European tea business in their lands, are greatly disturbed over the great growth In public favor of the Ceylon teas which are distributed from Londr-

"Can China be Saved" is the
title of an exhaustive article by
Talcott Williams in the Review OF
Reviews for September. Mr.. Will.
liams possesses a rare fund of in
formation on oriental subjects,
and he has a definite program to
offer for the solution of the world
problem in China. Taking as a
model the imperial customs SER
vice, SO long and ably admins
tered by Sir Robert Hart, Mr..
Williams proposes to organize the
Chinese government in system
of commissions, under nominally
Chinese control, but oficered by
Europeans, just as the customs
service is now officered. The
present Chinese civil service ma
chine would be retained, because
it is suited to the temper and
needs of the people. In the same
magazine is an able defense of the
missionaries in China by the Rev.
James s. Dennis, d. d., the author
of Christian Missions and Social
Progress" "Japan's Present Atti-
tude Towards China" is the sub
ject of paper written in Japan
as recently as July "a by Mr..
Joseph King Goodrich, an exper-
fenced observer of Japanese poll
tics, and the Rev. William N.
Brewster, a missionary of the Am.
erican Methodist church at Hing.
hua, writes from that point oi
view regarding the duty of the
United States government in the
coming reconstruction of China
These four articles have been
written within few weeks, from
four distinct points of view, by
men long familiar with the condi-
tions about which they write, and
with direct reference to the pres
ent crisis.
