Uranium of an Ancient NebrRSl<Rn
Excites InvestiGatIOn and some
Observations.

The discovery of a human skull on hill
side above Florence Neb., few months
ago, and the claim set up by the discoverers
that 1t was a relic Of an ancient race, ex-
cited considerable interest in anthropolog-
ical circles and furnished a text for a paper
by Henry Fairfield Osborn In the January
number OF the Century Magazine. Mr.. Os-
born discusses and compares various types
Of ancient man, paleolithic. neanderthal and
neolithic, and concludes that the Nebraska
specimen has a large stock OF centuries to
its credit. "The comparisons which we are
able to make" says the writer, now prove
that this Uranium is Of a more recent type
by far than that Of the neanderthal man. 1t
may prove to be of more recent type even
than that typihed by the early neOlithic
man of Europe. Even If not of great an
tlquity 1t Is certainly of very primitive
type, and tends to increase rather than di-
minish the probability Of the early advent
of man in America"

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Weather Aooslerates Distribution Of sea-
sonable Merchandise at Retail
DIFFICULTIES BECOME SERIOUS
Freight BIOckades and Shortage Of
Motive Power Retard Business
BiE Demand for Cotton
Goods.

NEW YORK, Dec N.-R. G. Dun g. Cos.
Weekly Review OF Trade tomorrow will
say:
weather conditions accelerate distribution
Of seasonable merchandise at retail but
increased trafic difficulties, freight block
AIDES and shortage OF motive power not
only retard business, but threaten serious
results at some western points. Holiday
trade has eQualled sanguine expectations,
yet this large volume has not interfered
with the brisk demand for staple articles,
which deplete stocks to such an extent that
wholesale trade experiences unusual actiV-
ity for the season. The only noteworthy
decrease In comparison with activities
year ago appears In building permits, Most
Industrial work is maintained at the maxi
mum, mills and factories having so many
contracts for next years delivery that in
ventories receive little attention.
Scarcely any change Is recorded in prices
of iron, the market. having developed
little seasonable quietness, although fur
nnCes constantly receive new orders, and
In some eastern markets the week has
brought out contracts for delivery In the
closing months OF 1897.
In the rails the mills report about two
thirds Of next years total output already
sold. steadiness in quotations and the
avoidance Of any imitation are now the
factors that will contribute most largely
to continued activity.
In the primary markets for textile goods
the event Of greatest interest rs the strength
Of cotton and the practical impossibility
OF securing prompt deliveries from manu-
facturers. While the demands have dimin-
]
pressure that has been noticed for some
weeks, there Is still a steady inquiry, and
selling agents are utterly unable to arrange
| shipments as requested. There is little
disposition to dispute quotations as the
goods can be secured, although much busi-
/ ness has been transacted and the question
! ls raised as to how much speculative buying
| has occurred. There IS no export trade,
aside from regular movement to South
| America and the island markets, although
| inquiries from China are reported on special
lines The opening Of the woolen goods
| season has been sufficiently irregular TO
make Il difficult to determine the trend OF
| demand. Much business has been done In
| staple dress goods for delivery next fall
| at last years prices.
Staple farm products have fuctuated
within narrow limits, no developments OF
| Importance being reported. Wheat had
the support of unfavorable crop news from
| Russia, but light grinding by domestic
mills prevented any material improvement
and there was no speculative activity.

States Representation Of United
States at Alseciras Was
Necessary.
TO PROTECT OUR INTERESTS
Lodge Says That American Commercial
Interests Demanded That United
States Be Represented A: Moroccan
Conference.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a Lodge to.
day presented in the Senate the policy
Of the administration In tie matter Of
the Algeciras conference over Morocco
and also with reference to Santo Do
mingo. He defended TIE course OF the
President in both instances contending
that the conference was for the
commercial interest and only by the
course pursued in Santo Domingo could
foreign nations be prevented from seiz-
ing the custom houses OF that country,
and securing a position there which
might threaten the approaches to the
Panama Canal.
In closing Lodge said. These at.
tacks, Mr.. President, are aimed at the
President Of the unite1 States with the
idea, apparently, OF creating the impress
sion that he is a usrrper seeking to
break through the constitutional limi-
tations drawn about his great Office.
The same charges were made during
the campaign when he was a candidate
for election to the Presidency, The ques-
tion was fought out before the people
of the United States and those who
made the charge got their answer at
the polls"
Teller followed Lodge in defense OF
the privileges of the Senate. He COM
planned of what he charged was a ten
dency to refer to the opposition to the
treaty as an attack upoa the President.
He eontended that in Santo Domingo
the President attempted to do what
only an act of Congress could justify.
