has entered upon sensational develop

After a newspaper campaign OF
weeks on the part of rival claimants
to block approval of the American
protocol Nicomedes Zuolaga and Pc
dro Uztaris, claimants to the 1mataca
iron mine in opposition to the corpora
ton, have brought suit for criminal
libel against Rudolph Dodge, the Ca
racas representative of the corpora
ton. charging him with having pur-
posely retained certain documents
signed by George Turnbull until Turn
bull was out of the country and then
giving the documents publicity. Turn
bull left Caracas June IA. These pa
pers are said to be exceedingly dam
aging to Messrs. Zuolaga and Uztaris,
whose alleged titles to the 1mataca
mine are, it is asserted, shown to be
not valid. Zuolaga and UZtaris re-
serve the right to bring action against
John Brewer, the American consular
agent here. and any other persons,
who may be implicated with Mr..
Dodge.

POSTPONED FOR THE PRESENT
Prosecution Of Sugar Trust Has Not
Been Abandoned.

Washington, June 3O.-That the
government prosecution of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company has not
been abandoned was the opinion ex-
pressed by department of justice Off
Gals in the absence from the depart
ment of Attorney General Wicker
sham, who was engaged at the White
House in the pure food whisky cases.
The officials pointed out that in view
of the eminence of counsel represent
ing the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, who have set up the claim that
the prosecution of the company is
barred by the statute Of limitations,
1t is quite possible that the attorney
general has consented to the tenn
porary postponemcnt of further pro-
ceedings until that question can be
thoroughly examined.

It was alleged that the day coaches
furnished for negro passengers in the
southeastern states were not equal tC
those provided for white people; that
negroes were denied sleeping a ac
c~ommodations and that they were re
fused food in the dining cars solely
on account of their color.
At the hearing of the case the com
plant as to the day coaches was
abandoned, in view of the weight OF
testimony to the contrary, and with
respect to the dining car facilities the
allegations were modified by conces
sions. Most of the compliments and
their witnesses testified that they
actually did ride on sleeping cars.
1t is held by the commission, in its
decision, that undue discrimination OF
prejudice was not shown and the com
plant, therefore, was dismissed.

Washington, June SO.-While the
question of tea remained technically
before the senate for a long time 1t
was impossible to keep the income
tax and the corporation tax questions
entirely in the background. They
were referred to more than once and
at one time so pointedly by Senator
Clay as to bring out a most interest
ing statement from Senator Aldrich,
who, as chairman of the finance COM
mittee, presented the corporation tax
amendment.
Senators Bailey and Clay were prod
ding the chairman Of the finance COM
mittee and appeared especially anx-
ious to know whether he would revise
the tariff schedules downward if the
income tax amendment should be
adopted in order to lower the revenue
from customs to an extent equal to
that which would be raised by the in
come tax. It vas in response to a
direct question from Mr.. Clay that
MI. Aldrich responded bluntly:
II shall vote for the corporation
tax as a means of defeating the in.
come tax. l shall be perfectly frank
in that respect. l shall vote for it
for another reason. The income of
the government this year will show a
deficit of 100000, 900. Next year there
will be a deficit of S45,000,OO0. l am
willing that the deficit shall be taken
care of by a corporation tax, but at
the end of two years it should either
be reduced to a nominal amount or
repealed"
Mr.. Aldrich said that he did not
favor as a permanent form Of taxa
ton a tax which is sure in the end
to destroy the protective system"

TIMOTHY WAS READY FOR HIM.

John D. Rockefeller, at the end OF

I'VE liked to keep our teams look

forth.
Timothy seemed certain of this
prize, and when midyear inspection
time came sure enough his splendid
work left nothing to be desired.
But as the inspector took one last
look round, just as he had made up
his mind to give the prize to Timothy,
he frowned, for his eye had fallen on

DEsPIsE CUCKOO As MARAuDER.
Birds Drive Australian GIutton from
the Bush.

Prof Drummond, the well known
New Zealand naturalist, has been COM
piling some further notes with regard
to the voracious habits of the long
talked cuckoo of Maoriland. He has
recently received a photograph, taken
by G. Buddle of Auckland, of long
tailed cuckoo that had half swallowed a
fairly large lizard, and had been nearly
choked by its effort. The lizard went
down head first, but its fore limbs pre-
vented the bird from taking in the
whole body, and the reptile stuck In
the cuckoos bill until it was rescued
Mr.. Buddle took photograph of the
bird with the lizard in its bill, and
another one after the lizard had been
removed, and in the latter picture
the look of rage and disappointment
is very strongly marked. A. Burrows
of West Oxford, North Canterbury,
tells the professor that in the crop of
long-tailed cuckoo he found two
young goldfinches, two large lizards
and several beetles. The goldfinches
were fledged and had been swallowed
whole. These bad habits of the
cuckoo, says Mr.. Drummond, are
strongly reprobated by more decent
birds, the tuis and others chasing the
marauder out of the bush whenever
they get chance.

Has Made Quartz Fusible.

1t is not so long ago that the text
books on minerals used to describe
quartz as 'infusible" The electric
furnace has made this an error, and
now some manufacturers of chemical
devices devote special catalogues to
apparatus made of this substance.
There are two grades on the market
the transparent kind, made from rock
crystal and looking almost precisely
like ordinary glass, and the cheaper
translucent variety, made of common
silica, and sometimes called in the
trade "electroquartz." Both kinds are
valuable in the chemical laboratory,
because vessels made of either resist
all acids but hydrof1uoric, and cannot
be cracked by the change of temper

LIKE THE LION AND THE LAMB.
Fierce Animal Fraternized with Man
Who Fed Cubs.

A man living in Morocco went out
one day to shoot lions. He went deep
into the forest looking for wild beasts,
when he saw two lion cubs that came
right up to him to be caressed. The
hunter, who knew no fear, sat down to
fondle the cubs, and while waiting
for the big lion to come along he
opened his lunch box and shared its
contents with the animals. Quite un-
perceived, the king Of the forest"
came upon the scene, and watched
the trio lunching. He silently crept
away, and after awhile returned with
sheep, which he laid at the hunts
mans feet. The Moor skinned the
sheep, gave the entrails to the cubs.
and, lighting some wood, roasted the
sheep for his lunch. All the while the
lion showed no signs of ferocity. for
he respected the man who fed his
young. The four seemed a happy
family there in the heart of the for
est, and when the man came to take
his leave he stroked the cubs an af.
fectionate good-by, while the big lion
accompanied him until he was safely
out OF the woods.-Exchange.

want of money to bet, she and her
friends played with their maids for
stakes. At the end of the game each
woman considered herself in honor
bound to stick to her agreement, and
an attempt was really made to swap
servants according to the ups and

Odd Incident Of New Years Eve.

You never can tell what is in a

rollicking party went to a cafe which
overlooks the Hudson. They were
primed for noise. They created so
much Of 1t that their company was
not desirable and they were informed
politely that the table at which they
sat had been engaged previously. They
took the hint and got out. As they
were leaving they purchased all the
flowers they could and hurried their
car along the drive until they reached
solitary grave about which 30 much
has been written. They laid the flow.
