A Daneerous Buck.

famous rat.tail bronco picked up In
Sunlight Basin. whose trick was TO try

or any handy obstruction. A half
breed bet his spurs against a leg OF
tobacco he'd ride him to death.
The animal was caught up. thrown
and saddled. and the half-breed
mounted.

Uranium, worth $50 a pound. is used
In the glass and porcelain industries.
II has been found that uranium car
bide is superior to nickel or tungsten
in the manufacture of high-g grade steel.
A London physician, having made n
long and careful scientific investiga-
tion' Of n girls inability TO throw n
stone as a boy does, says that II is
due to the physical conformation OF
her shoulder. A boy throws with a
free movement of the arm that is not
possible with girl, because her collar
bone is larger and sets lower than the
boys. The girl may excel in sports
where this action is not required, but
she can never learn to throw like a
boy.

California. by which the immense kelp
beds OF the ocean are 10 bc utilized in

linen paper. which, though n product
of the chemists laboratory, il greatly

that the pulp can be poduced nj hfty

According 20 new theory Of hered'
ity advocated by Felix lie Daubec, the
phenomena OF descent are Identical
with those OF growth. The child is an
actual fragment or detached bit of its
parents. and grows into their likeness
as naturally as any human infant
grows into n man instead OF dog or
a horse. He deprecates the view Of
heredty that regards IL Us mysteri-
Gus force. and rejects Weismann's
theory OF ccrm-plasm because IL "cn-
dows the reproductive elements with
mysterious power and makes them es-
sentially different from the other tis-
sues OF the body" This theory admits
OF the inheritance of acquired charac-
teristics ard explains the mobilization
OF heredity by educa;iol.

ANOTHER WASHERY OPENED.
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Has Five Now Working.

SCRANTON, Pa, July 1.-THE Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western Com
pany today started up it's washery at
Taylor and gave employment to twenty
five of the old men. There was no hos
tility by the strikers shown toward the
men employed, although something of
that kind Is expected.
The company is now operating five
washeries in this city and vicinity. and
is turning out large quantities of the
smaller sizes of coal. An effort to re-
sumo operations at one or more of the
collieries in this district is likely to be
made between now and August l. 1t
is evident the operators are planning TO
make such a move but they will neither
admit nor deny that they are.
Like the miners, they are waiting to
see what action the national convention
will take. One of the local superintend-
ents was asked today if the companies
Intended making any attempt to resume
operations, said: "Oh, you'll be sur
prised before long
When asked If that meant that the
companies did intend starting up, he
only smiled.
National Organizer Henry Collins. who
has charge of the strike here. was busy
all day comforting with committees. He
said there was practically no change in
the situation.
Superintendent Phillips, of the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western Com
pany stated today that over 100 men who
had gone on strike had been reinstated
and are now engaged in cleaning up
the timbering, etc, around the mines.

MINISTER WI CALLS

Cheng's Arrival.

The Chinese minister was the caller
OF greatest note at the temporary White
House yesterday. He was received by Mr..
Forster, executive clerk in charge. Mr..
WI said he had heard OF Secretary
Cortelyou's presence in the city and
came merely 10 make personal call.
He spent a quarter of an hour in con-
ference with Mr.. Forster.
In regard to giving up his official
work here to his successor as minister
TO the United States. Mr.. WI said that
that dignitary. Sir Liang Cheng Tung,
is likely to arrive here from London
within a few weeks. Mr.. WI does no.
know when he will be relieved by the
new incumbent. but regards 1t as highly
probable that Sir Liang will make n
journey all the way to Pel1in to secure
his instructions before taking up any
official work here. In that event Mr.
Wu's tenure OF office will be extended
necessarily until his successors return

Office until 1904. so that all the po-
litical interest in the State next fall is
centercd in The Congressional elections.
Mr.. Broassard expressed the conyic-
tfau yesterday that the Democratic can
dlaatcs would roll up increased major
tiles IN the coming elections. The dis
trict which he represents has the larg-
81: proportion of Republican voters of
any of the districts in the state, yet
Mr.. Brcussard's majority at the last
election was nearly 1000.
The confidence of the Democrats,

FAMILY SKELETONS UP
IN LATIMER INQUEST

until he died. that Mr.. Latimer had said
that he was shot in bed
Il had no chance. The coward shot
me in bed" were the words
Drs. Meagher and Downy, of the hos
pital corps. also testified to hearing
Mr.. Latimer use these words. Drs
Morrison and Parker testified that at
no time while he was in the hospital
was Mr.. Latimer mentally clear enough
to make a statement as to how he was
shot. Both testified that he had no
recollection of being shot or of having
had a struggle with anyone. or even of
seeing anyone at the time he was hurt.
Contradictory Statements.
This testimony is to be taken in con-
nection with the testimony of the nurses
and the other doctors. to the effect that
Latimer said that he was shot in bed,
that no burglar shot him. and that he
had pretty good idea of who it was
that shot him.
AS to the so-called codicil to the will
made by Mr. Latimer on his deathbed
Byron Latimer testified that, when he
begged his brother not to do such a
thing-meaning the making of codicil
leaving everything to his children-and
asked him why he did it. his brother re-
piled that ne did it because Sadie"
meaning his wife. had left him.
Mrs. Latimer had seen her husband
several times prior to this. and was at
that moment sitting in an adjoining
room in the hospital. When Byron told
his brother this. the latter replied:
"Oh, then you will not need it," mean
ing the codicil.
Sent for Mr.. Tuthill.
Captain Buchanan, of the Gates Ave-
nue. police station, who was expected to
have a good deal> to tell. testified to
only one fact and that was the inter
esting circumstance that one of the
first persons Mrs Latimer sent for af-
ter the shooting was the same Mr. Tut
hill, about whom she and her husband
had had trouble.

RUMORS OF UPRISING

thought such a course most unlikely.
The new minister coming here q
stranger, will wish to retain on his staff,
the minister said. as many as possible
OF his eountrymen as are thoroughly
acquainted with local customs and con-
ditions. This Mr.. WI thought would
apply especially to Mr.. Chung Mun-yew,
legation secretary. who, like the new
minister, is Yale graduate, and is
thoroughly at home in Washington's Of
fetal and social life.
On the point that the statement had
been frequently made that he would
never return to China because of the
many enemies he had made, as alleged,
by his very advanced ideas and his
freedom of speech and action in this
country. Mr.. WI said:
There is nothing Ia J.. 1 expect TO
go back to China just as soon as my
successor arrives here and takes charge
of the legation. l and Shen Chai- Pen
have been named in an official decree
to compile a new code of laws for

Trouble Not New.
This skeleton in the Latimer house
hold was shown BY the testimony to have
been of two years standing, although
Byron Latiuer testified that his brother.
as he lay i'll in the hospital. authorized
him, Byron. to tell Mr.. Tuthill to keep
awe from the Latimer house, which
Byron did.
Not doubt remained in anybody's
mind after hearing this testimony that
the late Mr.. Latimer had been much
troubled at one time by his wise's rela-
tions with Tuthill and that the matter
had become a scandal within the Lati-
mer family circle. There was no. testi-
mony introduced that directly or by in
ference connected this state of affairs
with the shooting of Mr. Latimer.
There was no testimony introduced
that accounted for the presence in the
house of the bicycle lamp. the felt
and the small dessert knife found on
the stairs-all recognized as the nat
ural equipment of housebreakcr.

The eolored servant girl swore that
these articles were not in the house

and that they did not belong there. An
attempt was made to draw from one

alleged to have made as to the history
of the silk cap. but she swore posi-
lively that she knew nothing whatever
about the silk cap, had said nothing
whatever about it. and had no knowl-
edge of anything but what she had
seen in the newspapers.
