BURIED AMERICAN CITIES.
Ruins of Vast Communities of Which the World Knows Nothing-South-

ern Arizona's Richness.
 Helen T. Griswold in New York Post
 The passage by the House of Repre- sentatives at Washington of a bill for the creation of a national park for the preservation of the petrified forest of Northeastern Arizona from the vandal- ism of relic hunters and seekers of pol ished stones for ornamental building pur- poses led some 7,0O0 people recently to pc tition Congress for the creation of na- tional park for the preservation of the remains of several large cities in Marico- pa and Pinal Counties, in Arizona, that passed away hundreds of years ago. Prof. Hamilton Bonynge of Cambridge Uni versity has said that there is no richer field for archaeological work in America than the ruined sites of these prehistoric communities. Unless Congress throws some protecting hand over them there will be little left of the relics by another ten years. While Italy has been protect ing her Pompeii and Herculaneum for century while Egypt jealousy guards her ancient relics. and even Mexico and Peru permit no one to go digging among their relics of prehistoric races, there has never (except in the case of the ruins of the aboriginal temple at Casa Grande) been the least legal effort to save from obliteration the marvellous relics of the buried cities on the plans of Southern Arizona, or to check the destruction of the matchless cliff and cave dwellings among the mountain canyons along the line of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad in Northern Arizona. The tourists, who become more numerous in Arizona every winter, have made relic gathering a settled industry. There are cowboys schoolboys. clerks and men out of a job who go forth every winter and dig and blow for relics in these Pompeiis

 South of Phoenix. some thirty-eight rniles on a high mesa, Is ruin that tells of the ordinary occupations Of the fnhab- itants There are the outlines Of ruined cor, als or stock pens. in which domesuc animals were kept. Many finds prove the purposes for which they were used. What the animals were is not so easily deter mined. but on slats found in ruins south of the Salt River are splendid figures of lIamas. now bred only in Central and South America, and Used as beasts Of burden there. These pens might have been for the purpose of securing herds of sheep: and without the slats on which the figures can not be mistaken. one would be inclined to the opinion that they were intended for sheep or goats.
 Tn the ruins that have best withstood the exposure of ages. many interesting specimens of the ceramic art have been found. Olias of all shapes and sizes, urns containing the ashes of the dead. which were either placed in mausoleums or kept In the houses of friends, and jars. partly filled with parched corn and beans, were found in a remarkable state of preserva- tion.
 It seem ass if the entire region had been swept by a flood, or that the cities were shaken by some terribls earthquake and toppled into thousand fragments. giving the inhabitants barely time to escape. Few of the skeletons that the amateur diggers in the ruins have taken out show signs of mutilation or have been broken.
 The largest of these cities. the amateur archaeologists of Arizona md California have named Los Muertos-the dead city. The ruined walls protrud' through the soil may be traced for thr- miles down the valley. The outlines of the buried city show that 1t was almost square. Several streets are clearly traced by the bits of wall still above the earth. and these show that the streets were very narrow but rcgular-in which they differ from the ancient Mexican pueblos of the South west Here and there were evidently plazas or public squares. and the unusual thickness of the ruined walls shows that the buildings facing these plazas were the biggest in the community-prooably fortifieations or temples or meeting halls. several stories high.
 The ruin of a wall F feet thick may be followed about the city. In some places 1t is two feet above the earth. and in a few places the wall has disappeared. When Mir Gushing explored it, he found where the ruins showed that enormous towers had been built upon the walls, probably for purposes of defense. Stone implements of warfare are frequently un-

Taxation of Coal.

Chicago Chronicle.
 duty on coal of any kind Is absurd Ordinarily we would import next to none if 1t were free.
 A duty on soft coal Is almost eauiva- lent to a duty on both soft and hard. and Is intended chiefly to protect our mine owners in the Atlantic aboard market and especially New England, against Nova Scotia coal.
 With free coal the small quantity that would be imported from Nova scotia would h.A far more than offset bv exports nf our coal to Canada. Our duty is met by a Canadian duty which deprives our mine owners of market decidedly more valuable than any they gain by the duty on Nova Scotia coal.
 The next Congress should see this and give us free coal of all kinds.

Long spears of ironwood. wood indigenous to the arid regions. tipped with flint heads, have been found in Los Muertos by the dozen.

Large duantities or these are found, such as turquoises. rupy, mother of pearl in the shape or neck amulets or wristlets.
 The extensive irrigating ditches were dug with stone implements. and the nuse rafters of the lofty buildings were worn off with the same rude tools.

It Is Declared All Over Bolivia
by the Government.
Placards Announcing the Situa-
ti0n Displayed in La Paz.
INTENSE EXCITEMENT
Follows the Startling and I'M
expected Announcement.
Action Is Due to National Re-
verse at Acre.

New York, Nov. 11--Citizens of this
city were astonished Saturday evening.
says a Herald dispatch from La Paz,
Bolivia, via Taona, Chill. when govern
ment officials posted throughout the
town placards which declared the whole
republic of Bolivia in a state of siege,
owing TO the country being threatened
The decree caused intense excitement
because of the unexpectedness OF the
announcement and ignorance of the rea-
son for the government adopting such
a step. Two rumOrs were heard One
was that the Bolivians had been COM
pletely defeated in Acre. The other re-
port was that 1000 Peruvians were on
the frontier, near the Madre de Dois
river Ell Commerce. de Bolivia prints
the following officials dispatches:
'NanaOS, Nov. 1.-ROjaS surrendered
at Empressa for lack of ammunition
''MONTEIRO, Vice Consul"
'Petropolis, Nov. 8.-Advices October
Is confirmed. Rojas capitulated. Re-
turns Bolivia via Manaos.
"PINLLA.
Minister Bolivia in Brazil"
Ell Commerce. in commenting on the
situation, says:
THE exact seriousness of the news is
doubtful, but the government must be
in possession of grave news to take such
measures and to declare state of siege
which appears unnecessary, as the entire
country, without distinction of party or
class will stand by the government.
Some persons attribute the govern
ment's action to desire to obtain popu-
larity and to put an end to the senate's
opposition to concluding arrangements
with Chill.
These charges, we regard as un-
founded, and we recommend that the
government make public all news from
Acre Immediately after being received .
Colonel Rojas, to whom reference is
made in the official dispatches to the
Bolivian government, was the COM
nander of the Bolivian forces in Acre.

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Henry f. McCOmas Dies of
Heart Failure.

Henry F. McComas, son of Judge Nc
Comas who was once governor of Vir-
ginia, was found dead in his lodgings
at 935 Kansas avenue at noon today
Death is supposed to have been the re-
suit of heart failure, superinduced by
intoxication. McComas, who is an old
soldier and draws a pension, was a
printer by trade, and has worked around
Topeka for several years. At the time
of his death he was an employe of the
State printing house.
He was said to have been intoxicated
since Saturday, and did not return to
his rooms Sunday night Last night
about / o'clock, Mr. ]. w. Maxwell, of
whom McComas rented a room, heard
him come in, accompanied by some
other man. who helped him into his
room and then went away. Shortly
afterward Mr.. Maxwell heard McCOmaS
groaning. McComas had stroke of
paralysis several years ago.
At noon today. just before going to
dinner. Maxwell opened a door which
leads into McComas' room, to see if he
left side. his face discolored, and un-
mistakably dead. Mr.. Maxwell at once
notified the police, and officers Lucas
and White went to the room and then
called Coroner Hogeboom. The body
was removed to Barclays undertaking
esta ablishment and the coroner took
charge of the dead mans effects.
When found McComas was lying on
top OF the bed ciOtneS, Wn1cn nau not
been drawn down. He had removed his
coat, vest and shoes The body lay Oh
the edge of the bed, showing that he
had not struggled while dying, or he
would have fallen off. In his vest
pocket was found 5000 and a valise
contained his pension papers and some
letters, mostly from a nephew, Ernest
E. Reed of Fort Scott, who seems to be
agent for property owned by McComas
near that city. Reed was notified by
the coroner of hisAuncle's death.
Mr. Maxwell says that McComas had
roomed with him for nearly three years
He knew little about him except that
he had a brother in Fort Scott and 9

DEATH IN DUST CHUTE.
Patient at Insane Asylum Meets

Virginia Cummings, a patient at the
state insane asylum, met death in pc
culiar manner Monday. She crawled
into dust chute, made like chimney,
and fell two stories. until stopped by
slight curve in the chute. When taken
out she was dead.
The woman was colored. and ~ years
of age. She was living skeleton. or
she would not have been able to get
into the chute, which was very small.
Several years ago she crawled through
an iron grating, between bars which
were by actual measurement 512 inches
aDart and fell into the yard two stories
below, and received no serious injuries
from the fall
She was supposed to be helpless and
unable to move without assistance. but
managed to crawl to the small door
which opened into the dust chute, which
was built to convey the sweepings of the
upper floor to the basement. and slide
in feet foremost. She would have un-
doubtedly fallen into the basement had
it not been for the slight turn in the
chute, which stopped her body.

LOSS OF S6OO,OOO
Tower of East River Bridge
Swept by Fire.

New York. Nov. 11.-An the men who
it was feared had perished in a fire which
swept the great tower of East River
bridge last night have been accounted for.
It is difficult to approximate the damage
from a monetary standpoint until experts
have ascertained the condition of the great
cables at least three of which may have
to be replaced. If this must be done. a
loss of at least 100000 will fall upon the
contract and there will be much delay
in the completion of the bridge.
The contractors who will be forced to
meet the loss are the John A. Roebling
Sons company, the Pennsylvania Steel
company, and Terry & Trench. The pro-
portion of each has not been figured out,
but it is believed that the Roeblings will
suffer NEST
The fire was caused, Engineer Hide
brande said today, by workman careless
