Form of Caisson Disease.

A Medical Explanation of the Ncwes.,
Form of Caisson Disease.
New York Sum: Much interest is shown

Of caisson disease developed among the
workmen in the new Manhattan bridge

tai o few days the spots entirely disap-
peared.
The hospital physicians account for this
strange development inYthis way: When
the men are put under pressure In the
~caisson the blood is driven entirely away
from the surface OFT the body and brain
back to the regions of the heart. The ar

When the men are taken from the cais-.

slowly, the system is unable to return
to its normal condition before the outer

the blood still remaining In the Interior Of

Mines of the Future.
And there really are such mines
perhaps six or eight at present known
over the Whole wide area of the world.
There are three of these about which I
know, and their %undoubted great posi-
bilities nave fired my Imagination.
These are the Dos Estrellas in Mexico.
the Santo Domingo, belonging to the
Inca company in Peru, and the Red
jang Lebong in Sumatra. The elements
OF greatness belong, too. although on a
more modest basis, to the Tasmania
mine. in the island of that name, and
to the Oriental mine in Korea. These
names are hardly known to the vulgar
throng. M the mines do not yet rank
with the great producers; but the Dos
Estrallas is valued by its Mexican own
ers at millions of pounds. The Santo
Domingo was last year producing 5000
ounces a month with five stamps; the
Redjang Lebong has an ore chute 1000
feet long. IL feet thick, worth Sc a ton;
the Tasmania, now wrestling with an
immense flow of water, has at 1900
feet a lode Of almost similar value and
size, and the Oriental has 200 stamps
at work in the Korean forests, and aver
a million tons of ore blocked out.

The Founding.


The story grows more and more as
founding. Near the winter palace
dwelt h reigning favorite of Nicholas,
the beautiful Mile. Nelidoff, mother Of
several of his sons and daughters. His
last visits to her were miserable cpl
sodes, for his conversation, darkly
limiting at his coming end, filled her
with dismay. To enrich his mistress,
for whom he sighted his graceful and
devoted empress, the car compelled
his minister Of finance to take surrep-
titiously from the funds raised for the
ST. Petersburg-Moscow railway some
hundreds of thousands of roubles. Then
unable to find solace any longer In
Neltdoff's society, and ~despairing of
the results of his own statecraft, he
endeavored, by entreaties and threats,
to constrain his chief physician to sup
ply him with strychnine; but that
faithful servant had the courage stout
ly to refuse.
Escaping from Siberia, Savelieff, the
cars son by Marie Assenkoya, Joined
the army In Asia Minor. He had been
nursed as a founding, had entered the
army, and had, after being drawn into
a society of reformers. been banished.
Thinking he might gain his liberty IL
he could fight for his country, he made
his escape when the news Of the war

To young Savelieff was given by
Bashanoff a secret message that the

knew that, as he had openly threat

 FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT.
 The third judicial district is so extensive in area and its business so large in volume that the commit tee does not hesitate to recommend that portion of it be set off to form fourth judicial district to which an additional judge should be appointed. When asked his opinion of such a proposition, Judge James Wickersham said to the com mittee:
 It will have to be done soon This is very large judicial division. It extends from the British line to the outer Aleutian Islands-from the Pacific to the Arctic ocean. The judge is compelled to travel all the time when he is on the coast It is almost impossible for the business of the court in the interior of the district to receive attention. Heretofore it has re- ceived fair attention, but the business is rapidly increasing, and recommend the creation of another judicial division by dividing the third judicial division along the line of the sixtieth parallel to Lake Clark, from thence to Mount Mckinley, and from that magnificent glacier-capped dome aloug the summit of the Alaskan range to Mount St. Elias. All north of that line should be one district, and all south another.
 The foregoing statement of Judge Wickersham is emphasized by the fact that during the season of open navigation he is compelled to travel the whole length of the American Yukon. distance of 500 miles, holding courts at Eagle and Ram part.

Three Important Matters
 For Congress- 10 Consider
 With Respect to Alaska

1t IS not doubted that the gentle men composing the senatorial sub committee which made an investi- gating tour of Alaska ill 1903 will continue to manifest lively inter- est in the welfare of the territory. Three of the committees most inn portant recommendations are given below:
 DELEGATE.
 The universal opinion among all classes ill Alaska is that the district should be represented by delegate in congress. Owing to their great distance from the seat of govern ment. tue people feel that their conditions socially. industrially and politically are little understood, and that special reasons exist why they should be represented by one who understands and can speak authori- tatively concerning their interests. Tn this feeling the committee hearti- ly pathize, ard the only ques- tion connected with the subject that has given them barrassrnent re- lates to the method of selecting such delegate. It is undoubtedly desired by majority of the people that the delegates shall be elected by the people, but this method is objected to by many. The reasons urged against it are of the same nature and differ only in degree as those urged against the establish ment of territorial legislature.
 If this method of selection does not commend itself to congress and the position is to be made appoint i've, ali agree that the appointment should come from the president of the United States, by and with the consent of the senate.
 MINING REGULATIONS.
 After conference with prospect ors, miners, lawyers and officials, and alter mature consideration of the subject" the committee rccom- mends amendments to the mining laws as indicated below. It is not believable that any prospector could be found who would favor a regu- latiou forcing him to produce wit nesses to his performance of the required labor. Instances are not vall uncommon where the scene of the pFospector's efforts is more than a hundred miles from the nearest recording othcc. and sometimes the jourrey loflh oF back takes a month or more It will readily be seen that lhe proposed rules would pFe- clude prospecting by poor men In remote places Following are the amendments recommended

this week by the teachers of the In
land Empire, has been the center of
attraction, and little in a social way
has been attempted. Many wished to
take advantage of the good addresses
offered by the prominent speakers,
and they certainly have gone from
our midst leaving behind good food
for thought. The teachers of our
public schools have been very active
and untiring in their efforts, in the
entertainment of their guests. The
reception rendered to the visitors at
