Mammoth Cave,

For many years after the discovery
Of Mammoth cave the entire work of
exploration was practically in the
hands of negro slaves, the property of
the man who owned the cave. Some
times they would come to an obstacle
that barred the passage, such as s
great limestone rock or a yawning
crevasse across the way. Such obsta-
cles would often stop exploration in
that direction for years, though beyond
the obstruction there were likely to be
scores of beautiful chambers and many
miles of passageways. Thus it happen
ed that for years nothing was known
of that large part of the cave lying be-
yond the abyss named the Bottomless
pit. This obstruction was known for
over twenty years before it was cross
ed. Then one day In 1887 the negro
cave explorer Stephen and some of bis
fellows dragged to the place the trunk
of small tree, and on this "a Their dan
gerous bridge Stephen era Wled across
the abyss. Then began the eXplora
tons that revealed one Of the most
wonderful and extensive parts OF
Mammoth cave The abyss was found
later to be 1870 feet deep.

REIMBURSEMENT OF NEGROES
Senator Foraker Proposes Amend
ment to Pending Bill

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator For
aker has introduced an amendment to
the bill providing for the re-enlist-
ment of the negro troops discharged
without honor because of alleged par
ticipation in the ARRAY at Brownsville,
Tex, and addressed the senate con-
corning the amendment. He proposes
in his new measure to establish
tribunal consisting of retired army
officers, naming these officers in the
bill, before whom evidence may be
submitted as to the guilt of defend
ants and before whom the defendants
themselves might appear to answer to
charges. The measure is so drawn as
practically to take out of the hands of
the executive and give to a tribunal
appointed by congress full authority
to consider the Brownsville question
and by it's findings provide for the
re-enlistment of the discharged ne
groes.
