EXplOrti0n In Asia.

An interesting vision of explora-
ton in central Asia is being under
taken under the auspicies of the
French geographical society. The
object is to excavate the ruins of the
country beyond Tibet. with a view
to laying bare the traces and evil
dences which can throw light upon
the ancient civilization which one
hourished there. This mission has
been intrusted to a comparatively
young man. His name is NJ. Peliot,
and he is professor of Chinese at
Hanoi. During the Boxer outbreak
of 1900 NJ. Peliot was in Pekin, and
went through the siege of the lega-
tions. distinguished himself by sew

1t is by carefully noting small and

facts that the men Of science are
enabled to reach some of their most
surprising and interesting conclu-
si0ns. In many places the surface Of

In England it has been noticed
that, in many cases, the eastern

LOST TEN YEARS.
Found in Death Was John Cald-
well. Who Was Killed at
Sulphur Springs.

Lost to his family for ten years the
body Of John Caldwell, who was
killed three weeks ago by a falling
tree at Sulphur Springs, near Mar
rows, was found by means of an
advertisement inserted in Indiana
papers by his employer, A. f. Jen.
nings. Caldwell came to Narrows
some time ago, but was not very
communicative and told nothing of
his family history. His employer
had learned that he was from lndi-
ana, and when the accident occurred
a notice was published in several In
dianapapers in the hope that it might
be read by some Of Caldwell's rela-
tives. In this he was rewarded.
Friday a sister Of the dead man
came to Narrows from New Albany.
She had the body disinterred and
recognized it as that of her brother,
from whom the family had heard
nothing for the past ten years. She
wept inconsolably beside it. 1t was
again inferred, but the sister stated
that she will, as soon as arrange
ments can be made, have it removed
to the family lot in the New Albany
cemetery.

SHORTAGE in CARS
Is Reported BY the Railroads
All over the C0un-
~ try.

The usual shortage in the freigth-
car supply, which is experienced by
nearly every railroad in the country
when the new crops are being NOV
ed, is beginning to be felt by the To-
cal railroads as well as by all others,
No prospects. it was said by railroad
men yesterday. of any relief in the
situation are seen, and it is expected
that the stringency will continue all
through the summer and fall, and
.then again when the Christmas trade
comes in. The cars are worn out or
broken or the demand increases fast
er than the shops can turn >ut new
ones. The shortage itself operates
against the manufacture of more.
The experience of one agent was
told yesterday as an illustration. He
hunted all through the railroad cen
ters of the South for cars and at
length got the promise of several as
soon as they were unloaded. He
shipped them t. Macon. Ga, to be
loaded with lumber for his car shops,
but when he went down to superin-
tend the loading he met the same
cars coming up already loaded Nth
some other fellows lumber. The
demand for so many cars at local
shipping points takes the surplus
supply away from the large shipping
centers, and the subsequent shortage
handicaps the shippers in the big
fnters.

Maine PrOtecti0niSm.

The Republican of Maine in their
convention of July 6 adopted the
following declaration Us to Tariff
and reciprocity.
We believe in the Protective Tar
iff which is fundamentally based up
on a reorganization of the differences
in labor cost here and abroad. The
Protective Tariff Protects American
labor, guards and sustanS the scale
of American WAGES, and thereby en-
ables American laborers to build and
maintain American homes: and while
it tends to keep the American mar
ket for American industries, never
theless our trade in foreign markets
has expanded 60 an extent never be-
fore known.
W reaiiirrp our beif in that re.
ciprocity which govens the inter
change with foreign countries of arti-
cles which are not the product of
the American labor, and we oppose
any such reciprocity with Canada as
will food our markets with Canadian

seriously embarrass the industries Of
this state.
