DIAMONDS WILL BE
STRUGGLED IN SAUSAGE
Plan to Feed Stuffed Frankfurters to
Dog Before Crossing Line.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 13.--
All the dog catchers in Detroit may
be requisitioned at any moment to
Illustrate a bold diamond smuggling
expedition. Secretary Shaw was put
on the qui vive yesterday by this let
ter from a man at Evansville, Ind.,
whose name is not revealed:
Il overheard a plot to smuggle dia-
monds across the river at Detroit. 1t
may be fake, but 1t sounds plausible
enough to me, and send it to the de-
partment for what it is worth.
"The' two men whom I heard talk
ing about it propose to put the dia-
monds into small fraukfurter sau-
sage. Then they will keep a dog
without food for couple of days.
When the dog is good and hungry they
will feed him the sausage and then
bring him across from the Canadian
side. Then they will kill the dog and
take out the diamonds
Gracious said Secretary Shaw
when he read this message. He refer
red it to the secret service division.
John Wilkie, the chief of secret serv-
ice, hurried down to see Assistant Sec
rotary Armstrong, who was in charge
of the customs administration, when
everyone was forced to the conclusion
that the matter was given too much
publicity.
eff we are ever going to catch that
dog remarked Mr.. Armstrong. I'VE
will have to go about it quietly
The stiffness of death is the only
answer to questions about this plot

BABY ELEPHANT LEARNS
TO PLAY HARMONICA
Hattie, in Central Park Zoo, Can Al
ready Give die .Wacs1t am Rhein.D

NEW YORK, March 13.-Hattie,
the baby elephant in the Central park
zoo, is struggling with the intricacies
of the Japanese national anthem
which her keeper, William Snyder, is
trying to teach her to play on the har-
monica. Hattie has already mastered
Die Wacht am Rhein, and Keeper
Snyder declares that there is not an
other elephant in the world so intelli-
gent or one which can do so many
stunts with musical instrument.
The baby elephants struggle with
its music lessons has afforded great
amusement to thousands who have
visited the zoo the past few days.
Hattie holds the harnnonica, which
is of the curved kind, at the extreme
tip of her trunk, waving the latter to
and fro, as if to keep time while she
plays
Hattie cam also dance, kneel as if
in prayer, do a cake-walk, and has
many other accomplishments She is
only three and half years old, and

DEWEY REFUSED TO
MIX IN TROUBLE
Admiral Tells Reasons for Re-
fuslne to Call on San Do.
minao's President.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
Admiral Dewey, who with several
members of the general staff and As
sistant Secretary LOOMS, of the state
department, are at Havana, has tele-
graphed the navy department the rea-
sons why he failed to call on Presi-
dent Morales, of San Domingo, when
the party were in Dominican wa
tiers several days ago. The failure to
visit caused considerable surprise at
that time.
It appears that there was fighting in
progress in the vicinity on the day the
party was there and for that reason
the admiral did not deem it advisable
to make an official visit. During the
forenoon there were several casualties
in San Domingo city from the fighting
then proceeding, This was caused
from shots crossing the river through
which the boat must pass, and as more
fighting was expected during the aft
ernoon the admiral gave UP the pro-
posed visit. The admiral however,
sent his respects to President Morales
by United States Minister Powell.

FROZEN EELS FOUND
ON QUEBEC SHORE.
Cold Weather Makes 1t Easy to Gather
in Slippery Ones.

GASPE BASIN, Que, March 10
The excessively cold season has had a
curious effect upon the salt water eels
1t is their custom in winter to bury
themselves in the sand or mud below
high water mark and there hibernate.
This winter the frost has been so
keen for weeks at a time that the sur
face of the wet sand has become
sheet of ice directly the water ebbed
away. Probably this has had the eff
feet of partially depriving the buried
cells of air, and the fear of death by
asphyxiation has sent them scurrying
out into the open, where they meet
with immediate paralysis from the
cold.
The appearance of the beach on some
cold mornings has been remarkable
Thousands of cells from thirty to sew
enty inches in length, each one about
as brittle as an icicle, and stretched
out as straight as stick, lie about or
stand upright from the sand for good
third Of their length.
Carts and wheelbarrOws, as well as
boats, have been filed day after day,
and the available markets for fresh cells
were long ago glutted. SHINING, salt
ing and smoking have given employ
ment to many who otherwise would
have been idle.
Inc question WHICH Suggests lISeil
is: Do these cells hibernate naturally
when they experience cold beyond a
certain point. or is the condition noted
that of temporary suspended anima-
ton. the forerunner, or preliminary
stage, of death?
For it is certain that the cells are
not really dead. The returning tide
bears them on its surface at first. as
though they were ifeless, but after a
few minutes they wriggle about a lit
tie, and soon they dive below slowly
and carefully, but very much alive.
The fishermen usually make things
certain by chopping off the heads of
their captured fish before they thaw
them out.
Apparently no one has ever taken
the trouble of deciding whether the
fish were frozen through and through,
so there could not be any little stream
of life kept in motion in the interior
of their bodies by ever so slight cir
cuIation.

TO PRESERVE THE
DOROTHY @. HOUSE
Appeal Is Made for Funds to Save the
Historic Mansion.


BOSTON, Mass, March 13.-An ap-
peal has been issued for the preserva-
ton of the Edmund Quincy house,
commonly known as the Dorothy @.
House." at Quincy, Mass
This famous dwelling, so closely
identified with the early history Of the
country, may soon be- torn down. This
house, a portion of IT. built in 1886,
has for more than two centuries, seen
within its walls some of the most IA
nous men and Womepsref Massaehu-
sets.
Here was born Dorothy o. of DR..

parlor still remains the quaint wall
paper, imported from Paris in antici-
patton of their wedding. Here came
John Adams, and later John Quincy
Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and many
of the revolutionary patriots to par
take Of it's hospitality.
The house is most picturesquely sit
suated, standing upon the high road,
and easily accessible to visitors. Sin
gularly enough, it happens that three
successive owners of the mansion have
preserved it without alteration, and it
remains today exactly as it was in
pre-revolutionary days.

NORTHERN LEAGUE
MAGNATES THROUGH
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, March 13.-After
a brief business session this morning,
at which the chief topic of discussion
was the schedule for the season, the
magnates of the Northern Baseball
league left for their homes this after
noon. This is the last session of the
league before the opening Of the sea-
son, and matters which were left un-
settled were referred to President D.
]. Laxdall to be adjusted by him.
It was apparent from the statements
of the different representatives in the
league that Duluth will have one of
the largest salary lists in the organi-
cation. 1t is expected that the pay of
the local players will be close to $4,000
monthly, while Winnipeg will hand
over approximately $1,400 each thirty
days. Superior will probably be at
the foot of the list and unless some
additional men are obtained, will be
able to keep below the $1,000 mark.
The league has arranged for an
equalization of railway fares for the
season, so that each club will have to
pay a alike amount. There will be
a guarantee of $50 for each cancelled
game and deposit of $500 will be put
up to insure each club remaining
throughout the season.

GOTHAM CONNECTED
WITH BUENOS AYRES
But.4.8OO Miles Is Lacking to
Complete Through Railway
Communication.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 13.-
Charles M. Pepper, appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt as commissioner to car
rys out the, recommendations of the
second International American confer
ence, held in Mexico two years ago.
with regard to the PAN American rail-
way, has submitted his report to the
state department, by which 1T will be
transmitted to. congress. The second
conference created a permanent COM
mittee, with headquarters in Washing
ton, offMhich Ex-senator H. G. Davis
is chairman and Andrew Carnegie is
a member. The other members are the
ambassador from Mexico and the min
listers from Peru and Guatemala.
Commissioner Pepper spent a year
in visiting the various countries. His
inquiries covered the general subject
of trade opportunities that would re-
suit from railroad building as we'll as
actual railway construction
The report says that the general
project of an intercontineutal line,
which ultimately will place New York
and Buenos Ayres in through railway
communication; is receiving much en-
conragement. At the. present time
about 1890 miles are lacking, and the
estimated cost of construction Is placed
at $150,000,0G0. This is based on an
average of so cents gold as daily
wage for labor, with an efficiency of
rs per cent, as compared with similar
labor in the United States. Commits
sioner Pepper gives five specific causes
which have contributed to advance the
inter- continental project as well as
railway building in general. Some of
the developments have taken place
since the beginning of the present year.
The encouraging causes as specified in
the report are:
First, progress at both ends as shown
in Simultaneous action by Mexico on
the north and the Argentine republic
lines SO that one will reach the border
of Guatemala and the other will pass
the frontier OF. Bolivia.
The second, the settlement of dis
puted boundaries and other questions
which heretofore have caused the
countries to be Indifferent to railway
intercourse among themselves.
Third, the law passed by the Chilean
/ congress for the tunnel through the
Andes, which will enable the long-de-
ferred through railway connection be-
Tween BuenOS AyreS ana Valparaiso TO
be made.
Fourth, legislation by several Of the
republics with a view to Offering
greater inducements for foreign cap
ital to engage in railway construction,
and especially the law passed by the
Peruvian congress a few weeks ago
which establishes permanent railway
guaranty fund Of $1,000,0o0 annually
out of the proceeds Of the tobacco tax.
Fifth, the definite determination of
the Panama canal question. y

Fruitful Field of Practice.

During his stay in East Prussia
Prof. Schroeder discovered that the
inhabitants of that section have most
elementary ideas of medical matters.
They live in an atmosphere of super
St1tlOn and dirt, know nothing of the
influence of proper diet, hygiene and
physical training, and when medicine
is prescribed they take it in schnapps
or spiced drinks, thus destroying it's
effect.
Prof. Schroeder judged that this
would be an excellent field for his
labors, and he soon had a magnificent
practice. His theory is that the nature
of any complaint can be learned from
the expression of the patients eyes,
and he claims to have obtained phe-
nomenal success with his system.
After looking intently into the pa
tents eyes for some time, he feels a
pain in his own body in the place ex-
actly corresponding. His plan is to
gestion and his oscillation methods.
1000 Patients a Month.
He treated some 1000 patients every
month, although he says his fees
amounted to only $4,000 a year
The case is creating a great sensa-
ton in medical circles. More than
sixty eminent physicians from all
parts of Germany have been summon
ed as witnesses. The accused was Civ
en- the title of professor honoraire by
the Soeiete Magnetique in Paris, and
the question is, can a French professor
call himself professor in Germany?
One witness described the school of
magnetism as being similar to the
school at Tilsit where BARRIERS qualify
themselves to act as dentists.
