MUMMIES OF, ANCIENT PERU.
a Valuable Find for Scientists IF the
Smithsonian Institution.

Three Peruvian Indian mummies have
just been received at the Smithsonian In
stitution and are looked upon with some
awe. as they are certainly JfV years old,
If not much older. dating from the time
of the Spanish invasion. or previous. The
Society of Anthropology was treated to
seance at the opening of one Of these prizes
night or two ago, and it proved a verita-
BILE mOrgue. containing the body of a wO-
man and two babies, probably mother and
children. The bodies were embedded in
a padding OF leaves and this in turn bound
about with piece IF goods not unlike gun
NY sack. held in place by a rope being
wound about It,
When the package was opened the bo-
dies were found to be doubled with the
knees almost under the chin. and while
small particles only of flesh and skin
were found, the long black hair of the
woman was found adhering to the skull
and shorter hair to the heads of the in
fants. The bodies were evidently those
OF Indians of the middle or lower class,
as no wooden mask. such as is placed
over the dead faces of those of more ex-
allied rank, was found. The three bodies
in one bundle would also lead to this
belief as the wealther people would not
disinter their dead and put others in the
package.
These are indeed prize packages to
scientists, as each one is sure to contain
treasures in accord with the rank and
wealth of the corpse. In this one was
found an exquisite vase, having on one
side bird in raised design and a we'll
modelled handle on the other, as fine a
specimen of pottery as is to be found in
the institution Besides this there was a
quaint work basket quite as well kept as
though laid away yesterday instead of
three or four hundred years ago. 1t was
woven daintily and built with two COM
partments, an upper and lower one. and
containing two spindles. One was large
with coarse fax wound about it. while
the other was delicately made and wound
with finer thread. A bean pod peculiar to
tree of Peru ratified about in the basket.
and all about in the leaves were bits of
white cotton having in It the seed.

The Cuban Question.

We are greatly pleased to note that
Democrats in Congress are displaying a
disposition to help and not to hinder the
Administration in connection with the
Cuban question. Above all things, that
is one which should be kept free from the
influence of party politics. The American
people, as far as we are able to judge
from press and other utterances in all
parts of the country. are practically
unanimous in endorsing the policy of the
Government regarding Cuba, as far as it
has developed. No one, Democrat or Re-
publican, as far as We know. desires to
withhold from Cuba any power or liberty
which the new State can assume or exer-
else. consistently with the welfare end
safety of the suzefain nation.
1t is not a matter of sentiment, but one
of stern and inexorable necessity with
which the United States has to concern
itself in dealing with Cuba. We must
have control of the war. debt. and treaty
making powers of the island State, and
it must furnish us with strategic facili-
ties. Those conditions being accepted, the
Cubaus may go their way rejoicing, as
far as public opinion in this country is
concerned To offer obstruction to the
consummation of an orderly and sensible
deal at this time would have been dis
graceful to the Democratic party, and we
are glad to learn that nothing Of the kind
is contemplated.

THE POSTAL REVENUES.
Auditor Castle Corrects n Misappre-
hensiOn Regarding Big Offices.

Henry A. Castle Auditor for the Post
Office Department, calls attention to the
frequent erroneous statements put for
ward by large cities that their local post
s'f'sr~" pay a certain alleged large profit"
to the Government. This assertion is
based on the fact that the total revenues
of such offices always exceed the aggre-
gate expenditures for purely local pur-
poses. Claims for additional allowances
for expenditures on public buildings and
other purposes are based on the Inisap-
prehension that this excess of revenue is
in reality profit. The Auditor says it is
no such thing. There is no profit at any
postoffice in the United States. nor can
there be so long as the aggregate bTsi-
ness Of the department is conducted at
loss.
The revenues of a pOstofice consist of
postage collected but these collections
must take care of the expenses of the local
office, and in addition pay for the trans
portation of the mail originating at that
office through to its destination. 1t would
be absurdly illogical to credit terminal
railway Office with all its receipts for
freights collected and assume that all
such collections above disbursements for
clerk hire were a net profit to the Hallway
system, taking no account of the cost of
transporting the freight. Also. it would
be absurd to say that passenger station
or ticket office made for the railroad com
pany net profit to the amount of its
sales of tickets above local salaries paid.
The entire postal system is run at loss.
The large cities have many extra ex-
penses which are not strictly of a local
character, and these should be literally
provided for. New York City, for exam
pie, is the headquarters of many depart
ments OF the postal service which have
nothing to do with the local business OF
the office. These are provided for by ex-
ira allowances. but it is not proper or
truthful to assert still more of them on
the ground that the records of the Office
in the Auditors report show large profit
accruing to the Government from the
business of that city.
These remarks are not intended by the
Auditor to lessen the significance Of the
fact that the ratio OF local expense to
revenue is much less in some Offices than
in others. OF the large cities OF the coun-
try St. Louis seems to have the most
economically administered pcstOffice. ard
at the same time it is known to be one on
the most efficient.

TO OBSERVE THE ECLIPSE.
Scientists Leave New York for Trip
10 sumRtra-

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Scientists bound
for Sumatra to observe the total eclipse
of the sun to take place on May II, sailed
today by the North German Lloyd steamer
Vera upon the first stage of their long
journey.
The Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology is behind this expedition. which
promises to accomplish much in behalf of
science. Prof. Alfred E. Burton is In
charge of the party. which includes Prof.
george L. Hosmer. Harrison W. Smith,
and Gerard II. Matthes, all prominent
specialists in geoditic and astronomic
work.
The eclipse of last year was observed
by Prof. Burton in Georgia with conspic
uously fine results in Photographic i'm
pressions OF the corona. Since then Dr.
Henry 5. Pritchell thu noted astronomer.

tute of Technology. his appointment Civ
ing marked impetus to its astronomical
work.
The eclipse will be observed from high
ground in the interior OF Sumatra. near
the town OF Padang. This perfectly equip
ped expedition, carrying more than a ton
of scientific apparatus, will have six
minutes and twenty seconds in which to do
its work. Not since the perfection of
photography has there been an eclipse of
that length. The eclipse of last year last
ed eighty-six seconds.

FOR AN INTERNATIONAL BANK.
Capitalists 90 Establish Branches in
south and Central America.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-It was learned
yesterday that prominent capitalists had
about completed the plans for the estab-
lishment of an international bank, which
will be of value to exporters. The COM
plete details could not be learned last
night. but it is known that the promoters
have secured valuable charter which it
is believed will cover all the business
they propose to do. The bank VIII proba-
bly, be ready to begin operations within
six weeks Its capital stock will be So
600 900 and it's surplus will be $4,000. coo.
Branches will be established in all parts
Of South and Central America. An effort
is now being made to enlist the support
of leading exporters in all the manufac
turing cities in the country in order that
the bank may be a national as well as an
international institute.
Charles A. Moore. the President OF the
American Protective Tariff League, at The
recent dinner of the league, spoke strong
ly in favor OF an international bank. Mr..
Moore mentioned an instance showing the
necessity for an American bank in South
America. He said he knew of case in
which sight draft for $4,000 made on
Ecuador in November 1900, had not been
returned as paid until February 10. 1901

In south Africa.

South African news of an optimistic
character has so often proved unreliable
that we must accept the statement that
General Botha is endeavoring to arrange
terms of a general surrender with much
reserve. Still. the story may be true, and
if it be so. every friend of peace and hui
manity will be glad; because, from mil
itary point Of view, it is impossible to
think that there is any further use in the
warfare of the burghers against Great
Britain. It is true that the mobile col
umns OF De Wet and two or three of his
colleagues might be able to continue mil
itary operations of more or less impor-
lance for months to come. but the ulti-
mate result would not, thereby, be
changed, and in the mean time, the s'tf-
ferings of the South African population
would be increased deplOrably and use
Iessly. If Botha has both the sense to
suggest surrender and influence enough
with his people to induce them to consent
to it, the end of the war may be in sight.

RIVAL TIN CAN COMBINES.
An American Trust and Another
Backed by British Capital.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 24.-It is stated in
canning and packing circles here that
meeting has been called for next Tuesday
in New York for the purpose of closing
the deal and arranging for the incorpora-
tion of the big combination of the tin can
manufacturers. Baltimore is the centre
of the tin can industry. The Baltimore
concerns will receive cash in payment for
their properties. The deal has been pend
ing for more than year. but has encoun-
tered several obstacles. At first several
of the larger manufacturers absolutely re-
fused to join the proposed combine, but
these have since reconsidered.
1t is estimated that the trust will con-
troll at least so per cent of the output OF
tin cans in the United States. Among the
Baltimore manufacturers who have given
options on their plants are the A. Booth
Company, the Norton Tin Can Company.
and Black G. Krebes. These are the larg-
es. manufacturers in this city. and control
the trade in this section. Financial de-
tails are being arranged by Judge Moore,
of Chicago who promoted the steel and
wire combination. The amount of capital
ization of the new company has not beer
definitely fixed, but 1t will be about $780,
900 900. The company will be incorporated
under the laws of New Jersey.

ton with the big can combination now
