AN INDIANA PEARL
Sent to GeoIogist BIathIey for Inspec-
tiOn-UnusuaI Noise.

For a time yesterday State Geoogist
Blatchley had in his possession a magnifi-
cent specimen of pearl that was found in
this State and fordwarded TO him. 1t came
in registered letter from Ebert postoffice,
Harrison county. The owner had found it
in a mussel shell taken from the Ohio river,
and sent it on to the geologist for inspec-
ton. Mr.. Blatchley said it was one of the
largest pearls he had ever seen, but on ac-
count of its irregular shape was practically
valueless. Otherwise 1t would probably have
been worth 500. The geologist sent it back
to Ebert.
Mr. Blatchley is in receipt of the follow
ing note from Morgantown. Ind:
Dear Sir-I would like for you to investi-
gate a mystery that is going on here. II is
a laundering noise under the earth the

Deputy Marshal Assaulted.

W. ]. Jordan, of Union City, who
has been acting as assistant Deputy
U. S. Marshal at the M. & O. yards
at Jackson, Tenn, for the past two
weeks, had a somewhat exciting
and painful experience Thursday
evening of last week. He was re-
turning toward the yards when he
was stopped by FIVE men who, he
says, came up behind him and asked
him 'if he wasn't scabbing on the
NJ. & O." He replied that he was
not, and had never done any rail-
road work in his life. They then
asked him if he was not one of the
new conductors, to which he replied
that he was not. Three of them
then laid hold of him, took his re-
volver out of his pocket and began
beating him on the head and face
with their fists. He was not Sc
riously injured but his face and
head were considerably bruised and
scratched. jackson correspondent.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

The most Sensational political
development of the summer has
taken place during the past week
and the details have been watched
with the keenest interest by poll
ticians in Washington. The effort
of Senator Hanna to prevent the
endorsement of President Roose-
velt's candidacy in 1904, the de-
termination of Senator Foraker to
''smoke out" his colleague, the
Presidents defiance of the Ohio
Senator and the Iatter's surrender
in the face of an anticipated situa-
ton in the Ohio convention which
he could not control, have combin-
ed to make active politics and a
situation which lacked nothing but
dramatic interest. Although SEN
ator Hanna has played and lost he
is now attempting to put the best
possible face upon the situation
and pretends that his unconditional
surrender was made at the request
of the President. The truth of the
affair, as explained to your CORE.
spondent by Republican Senator
was that Mr.. Hanna wished to keer
the question of the Republican
candidate open for another yeal
and that he at least was loath tC

the nomination until he had exact
ed from him pledges which would
protect the Hanna interests during
the next administration if the Re
publicans won. Senator, Foraker

EXPECT CONGRESS
TO GRANT LOAN.
President Francis Says Much En-
thusiasm Is Shown in Wash
intgon Over Worlds Fair.

According to David r. Francis. President
of the Worlds Fair. and other Exposition
officials who visited Washington list week,
and who returned home yesterday, the
prospect for the Fairs receiving addition
al aid from Congress in the way OF a
loan Is exceedingly hopeful.
MIR. Francis said that no definite plan
for securing the desired legislation had
been decided upon, but possibly would be
at the meeting of the Executive Commit
tee to-day. He said there was no truth in
the report that trade had been made
with the Chicago delegation which was
In Washington to secure the National Re-
publican Convention.
1t is n well-known fact" said President
Francis. that We will need more money
to complete the Exposition. Chicago spent
100000 before her Fair was opened. Our
Exposition Is much larger than Chicago's
and It Is hardly expected that it would be
possible to complete it with s15.0O0,oOo.
The ST. Louis Exposition has 50 per
cent more rooted area and 100 per cent
the Chicago Columbian Exposition. Be
sides this. labor and building material are
considerably more expensive than they
in Washington We found enthusiastic
interest IN the Worlds Fair. To all with
whom we spoke on the subject we received
encouragement and sympathy. The sub
ject of an additional appropriation was not
mentioned to President Roosevelt, al
though we met him while in Washington
and he assured us of his interest in the
enterprise.
Should we decide to ask Congress for
a loan. We have every reason to believe
that the action would be favorably con-
sidered. The Government is partner in
the Exposition. and Congressman and Off
Gals will leave nothing undone TO make it
complete success.
The request. if it is made. will prob
ably he for loan secured by the first
admission receipts. The security is of the
best. and it Is not thought that the least
difficulty will be encountered in raising the
money desired
Up to date about sl3.0oO,oOo has been ex-
pended by the Exposition proper in carry
ing out its plans. The Government appro-
priation of 5000 900 is now being used. and
is about two-thirds expended. For this
reason prompt action will be necessary to
secure additional funds.
