Chief Of Polioe James Collirs is
determined to renovste that portion of
the city known as "Dogtown" as an q.

shipped four of the denizens of "Dog-
town"to Evansville, where they came
from. They were sent on the packet,
and are nine in all to be sent away,
five having gone last week.
What few are left will go, too, just
as soon as the chief can arrange for
their transportation and before winter
arrives the locality will be en- tirely
purged OF such characters, and much
Of the destitution that costs the city
so much every winter be done away
with. The police will hereafter keep
a strict watch on the neighbohood and
prevent any future settlements.

MOUNTAIN OF SALT.

Probably one of the greatest natural
ouriosities in the world. whose exist.
enoe is but little known, is the great
mountain Of salt located at Cardona,
Spain, in the foothills OF the Pyrenees
This marvel stands in a dreary and in
accessible region, of the highway Of
travel, and is only reached by a drive
Of twenty-five miles in a mule cart
A recent party Of scientists visited
this giant salt mountain, and reported
some interesting facts in regard to the
same.
The mountain is several thousand
feet high, and is estimated to contain
800, 900, 900 tons Of rock salt. This
enormous quantity Of salt is made
more apparent by the fact that the
bordering country Of France consumes
700, 900 tons a year, so that this noun
tain alone could furnish France with
enough salt to last for 700 years.
The mountain is on private land,
and only worked to limited extent

THE CANAL DISCUSSED
CABINET BEGINS CoNsTDERA-
 TON OF THE QUESTION.
To Attorney General Knox Will Be Referred Matter of Obtaining Legal Title to Panama
 Company's Property.

Washington, July 1.-The cabinet was engaged today at the suggestion of Sec retary Hay on the measure to carry out the terms of the Isthmian canal law. The government must demand the suffl- ciency of the title that can be conveyed to the United States by the Panama Ca nal Company; treaty must be nego- tiated with Colombia conferring the nec- essary rights; and a technical commits sion must be appointed to carry on the actual work of construction.
 It was decided to refer the matter of title to the Attorney General, it being purely legal question, and recourse may be had by the latter to the French courts to secure from some high tribunal a sat isfactory affirmation of the sufflciency of the title The Attorney General may att tempt. however, to secure from the French government directly. through the Chamber of Deputies, in all probability some legislative action which shall have the force of law and effectually affirm the acquisition of the canal property by the United States
 It will be necessary for the Attorney General to send to France some thor oughly competent person, who can, if need be retain local French legal talent t) aid in his work. The name of Assist ant Attorney General Russell has been suggested as we'll qualified for such post and some or all of the members of the Isthmian Canal Committee may go to Paris.

CONGRESS- NOT BREED
cHRIsTMAs's ALLEGATIONS DE-
 CLARED TO BE FALSE.
Report of Committee to Investigate Story of Corruption of Officials in Connection With Pur-
 chase of Islands.

Washington, July 1.-Chairman DalzelI of the committee which investigated the charges in connection with the purchase of the Danish West Indies. today sub mitted the report of that committee.
 After detailing the charges of bribery.. and showing that Captain Christmas had repudiated the alleged report on which the charges were based. the committee surns up the results of its investigation as follows:
 That there is not tho slightest sem blance of evidence that any member of Congress, either directly or indirectly, was offered or paid any bribe or was paid any valuable consideration of any kind or character. to vote for or assist in procuring the proposal, adoption or rati- fication of treaty of sale of the Danish West Indian Islands to the United States. There is not the remotest ground from which to draw an inference or on which tp base q conclusion that there was any corruption or wrong doing on the part of the public officials of the United States in connection with the negotiations for the purchase and sale of the Danish West Indian Islands.
 Tt is plain beyond peradvanture that the bribery alleged in the report could have existed nowhere save in the imag- ipation of Christmas, since the whole burden of his story is that he had no moEey. It is in evidence that he had to borrow in order to pay his passage homs from this country''

THE APPROPRIATIONS
CANNON AND LIVINGSTON IS-
 SUE STATEMENTS.
The Latter avs That This Session oi Congress Has Spent Twice as Much as the Last Demo-
 cratic House.

i Washington. July 1.-Chairman Cannon | of the House Appropriations Committee | today presented a statement of the ap- | propriations made at the present session l of Congress. It showed total of $750.- | 063, ,Ss7 not including the large amounts | that will he required for the Isthmian Canal, public building and river and har- bor contracts.
 After giving the appropriations in de- | tal he says:
 ''It is not appropriate here to advert to the fact that expenditures for the two past fiscal years Q900-190D show that du- ring that period there has been applied to the sinking fund more than $1l300O, ,0c0, a sum greater than the law actually re- quires and which exceeds the whole
 amount appropriated to the extinguish-
 ment of the public debt during all the
 nine fiscal years from 1891 to 1899 inclu-
 sive. The appropriations made in the reg
 ular bills for ordinary purposes payable
 during the fiscal year -19O3 aggregate $595
 502, ,705. which. togetherf with the sums
 carried under permanent appropriations
 and exclusive of the amount required by
 the sinking fund. makes a total of SG5
 423 925. The revenues of the government as now estimated, on the basis of revenue
 reduction legislation enacted at this ses- sion, amount to $640,520 65D. The expen- ditures to be made under the appropria- tions of this session will not exceed $600.- 900, GOO"
 Representative Livingston tGa9. the ranking Democratic member of the com mittee, submitted statement showing. with the inclusion of the isthmian canal, river and harbor and other prospective expenditures. appropriations of over q
 bi':ion dollars curing the past session
 His statement says in part:
 'The direct appropriations made by
 Congress, including the isthmian canal
 appropriation. reach the astounding ag-
 gegate of $500, 193, ,S37 To this sum should
 be added t1e further amount of S295, ,373,- 215. to include contracts authorized. The contract authorizations are in the nature of promissory notes of the Government to be met and liquidated in the future. and constitute as much part of the ap- propriations chargeable to this session as are the specific appropriations made and which are to be expended. not at once but through the coming fiscal year.
 'The two sums aggregate $1,059. ST 052. The last session of the Fifty-third Con- gross for the fiscal year 1896 was Demo- cratic. The difference between the total then and now amounts to the startling sum of $55S, ,SS1, ,767, or more than as much again as it required to conduct the af- fairs of Government under a Democratic Congress"

New snecies of Sea Monster.

New York. July IA strange creature caught off the shore of Bermuda early ir June, has arrived here on the steamship Trinidad and has been placed in the Aquarium in Battery Park. It is over six feet long, formed like a snake but with a head like that of a turtle and fins like fish. A long bill for a mouth gives q most terrifying appearance which is rem dered more horrible by pair of glaring eyes on the top of it's head. Its body is a brownish green in color and running around it's middle are several bright vel low stripes. The biologist who shipped the serpent here was unable to name it and the men in charge of the aquarium are equally ignorant of its nature.

July 1.-The news of the passage by the United States Con- gress last week of the Spooner Panama Canal bill and the signing of the meas ure by the President Is still the all-ab- sorbing topic on the 1sthmus. and 1t Is generally conceded to be final triumph for the Panama Canal In this connec- ton. a local newspaper says:
 Tn view of the activity of the staunch supporters of the Nicaragua Canal pro- ject, who have hitherto left nothing un- done to effect the defeat of the Panama measure, 1t becomes our bounden duty to urge the National Government not to procrastinate, but to proceed with as lit- tie delay as possible to pass the neces- sary legislation so that the President of the United States may put the law in execution by beginning the construction of Panama Canal without delay"
 It has been learned from a most re- liable source that the revolutionary situa- ton in the interior of Colombia con- tinues to be satisfactory.
