RENEWED TIIEIR CONTRACT

Owners of Plate Presses Refuse to Accept the Hint Thrown Out by Congress. The Vacant White House and Absence of Officials Causa Office-Seekers to Return Home Iesira for the Xew Fla. THK PLATE mESSKS. Owners of the Machines Kenew Their Contract at the Reduced Rates. Ejpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 3. It was expected that the action of Congress last winter, in reducing the royalty to bo paid to the Milligau Plate Printing-press Company, from one dollar to one cent per thousand impressions, would have the effect of compelling the company to remove the plate printing machines from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and it was supposed that the beginning of the new lineal year would see all of these contrivances, which are so obnoxious to the plate printers, thrown from the building: but it seems that the concern ..which manufactures these presses is determined that Congress shall drive theui out "by positive, instead of negativo means, and -with this end in view, they have renewed their contracts, and will keep their machines in the bureau. It remains now to be seen whether the House will have the courage of its convictions, and provide a reasonable royalty, or enact such legislation as will absolutely prohibit the use of the steam press for printing the backs o one and two-dollar notes and silver certificates. . , SU3IMEK DULLNESS. The Exodus from the White House Politicians and Others Leaving the City. frecial to the Imlianapolls Journal. Washington', July 3. The chances are that for the next ten days Washington will suffer from j thorough summer dullness. The departure of tho President yesterday for Connecticut, followed to-day by the exodus of the Whito House family to Deer Park, accompanied by Private Secretary Halford, as caused the politicians who have been waiting hero in the hope that they might secure something for their friends, to rush back home in order to be present with their families on the Fourth of July. There is a painful stillness around the White House, and this afternoon the callers were almost exclusively coniined to a few correspondents and reporters, who climbed tho stairs in the hope of gathering some small crumbs of information; out there was no sign of news about the mansion, and there is no reason to believe that there will bo a single appointment made until the middle of next week. Several of the leading Republicans hurried off to New York last night, and within the next two or three days there will be some important conference there in relation to the conduct of the campaign in the new States. 3Il'OK MATTERS. Wow a Woman Would Arrange the Stars and Stripes in the ew Flag. Special to the I ntUa.ua poll a Journal. Washington, July 3. Mrs. Charles Carleton Coffin, wife of the well-known war correspondent, who is a resident of IJoston, has submitted to the authorities of the War Department a design for a new flag to signify the admission of the now States into the Union, which design meets with very general approval among army officers. Her plan is to maintain the stripes just as at present, and instead of six rows of stars of seven each, as proposed, Mrs. Coffin sugn gest that thirteen stars, to signify the -i I a l. r i x imriecn original oiaies, ue iormeu into a eix-pointed star in the center of the jack, at the upper left-hand corner of the flag, and that the remaining twenty-nino be arranged in rows on each side..

Ilurke Cannot lie Kxtradlted on the Meager Testimony Presented at Winnipeg. Chicago. July C. A dispatch was received by State's Attorney Longenecker this morning from Assistant State's Attorney Baker, who is in Winnipeg looking after the interests of the prosecution in the extradition proceedings against Martin liurke, tho Cronm suspect. The telegram was to the effect that to secure Burke's extradition stronger evidence will have to be presented before the Manitoba court connecting him with the Carlson cottage. Judge Lonffcne'.'ker had a conference with Luther Latiin Mills over the unexpected obstruction, and it is understood that both the Carlsons will be sent to Winnipeg at once. Winnipeg. Man., Julys. The Burke case w-as resumed this morning. Douaid JIcKinnon, a local policeman, testified as to Burke's arrest, lie said the prisoner had in his possession, among other things, a railroad ticket to Montreal and a steamship ticket from Montreal to Liverpool. The railroad ticket contract was signed W. J. Cooper. The prisoner said his name was not Cooner: that he was Martin Burke, sometimes called Pelancy. He told the officers ho had changed his name becauso he was watched by some men. Oflicer Collins, of Chicago, testified as to Burke's identification by Martinseu, and tho morning session closed. Snllivan Defended by Patrick Ford. New York. Julv 3.In the next issue of the Irish World there will appear an edi torial article live columns long, set in double leads, and signed by Patrick rord. The article is subdivided into ten sections. In the first section Mr. Ford says he is not a member of the Clan-na-Gael. and in that connection adds: "All secret political soci eties are so manr nncs' operating in the dark to bring under control or influence by indirect methods those who work in the open." He, however, reproaches Irishmen for having otlered what he terms "this mean advantage" to tho Croniu jury ot being able to declare the CJan-na-bael in jurious to American institutions. Alter commending Alexander Miinvan s virtues, he adds: "Nevertheless, there are features in Alexander Sullivan's character that I do not admire, aud concerning which 1 have not been 6ilent." Having so de clared himself, Mr. Ford says: 'Bnt the honor of the Irish name is above personal likes and personal dislikes, and. above all. is the cause of justice. iow, at this hour, in my opinion, Alexander Snllivan is the victim of grave injustice. That ho is entirely innocent ol the murder of Dr. Cronin, that he is utterly incapable of conceiving, or suggesting, or winning so uasiaruiy a crime 1 firmly believe. I should despise myself were 1 to sin against nij soul by preserving a cowardly silence at this despicably convenient time." Then the writer at extreme length reviews the Cronin case and its complications. He concludes, eventually, that Snllivan could have no motive in compassing the death of an enemy whose hostile secrets were known by hundreds of others. "But." he continues, if Alexander bullivan has nothing to gain by Cronin's murder, there were people who had something to gain by it if they could only fasten suspicion of the murder upon Snllivan: Those people were: 1. The anytliing-to-down-Sulllvan men in tho Clan-na-Gael. 2. The "Uritlsh-Amcricans.' 3. The mugwumps. 4. Tho Democrats. 5. The Know-nothings. 0. The Knglish Toxics and the London Times. Then he analyzes those people and what he deems their possible relations to the case, and closes by adjuring all Irishmen to cling to Gladstone for Ireland's salvation. DAILY WEATHER IJCLLETIN.

Where the Doors Were Thrown Wide Oren and Everybody Ilad a Chance to See. Quitman, Miss., July S.Tho double execution of the negroe aco Fleming and lUchard Jortlon, for ' i murder of tho negro John Taylor, wa witnessed hy a larsw throng of people hero to-day. Petitions had been forwarded to Governor Lowry asking a commutation of sentence, hut last night the Governor sent a telegram stating that with the facts before him he could not in terfere with tho execution of tho law. Long before tho legal time, curious people filled every available place of vision, some on top the court-house, some in trees, others in the windows, but the largest number crowded around the entrance of tho iail inclosuio and awaited with anxious mien the approach of Sheriff Donald. At 11:30 tbo shenli'-and guard entered; a few minute later tbo door was thrown open and the crowd rnshed in. The condemned culprits ascended the gallows with firm steps; the maudate otthe Supreme Court was read by Sheriff Donald, followed with the usual query if they had anything to say. A negative nod was tho ouly response. Prince was some what agitated and trembled perceptibly. Kichard simply stared with stolid unconcern. Deputy McLeod hurriedly placed caps over their heads, . quickly descended the gallows and in the twinkling of an eye, at precisely four minntes past .12, cut the rope asunder, and tho two souls, with tho crimson brand of Cain, wero abruptly hurled into eternity. A short struggle and all was over. The drop was six feet, but, strange to relate. Prince neck was not broken. ' Although visited by spiritual advisers, both died protestiug their innocence. THE FIRE RECOUP. The Loss at Halley, Idaho, Will Reach S300,000 with SI 50,000 Insurance. Salt Lake, U. T., July 3. Further details of yesterday's lire at Ilailey, Idaho, are to the effect that all the business portion of the town was destroyed, except Friedman 4k Co.'s lire-proof house. There is left but one hotel, two livery stables, one lumber-yard, one grocery store, one saloon andono dry goods store. The lire did not reach- the residence portion of the town. The lire started in the Nevada bakery, cor ner of Maine and Carbonate streets, and spread with alarming rapidity. . Every body thought the Merchants' Hotel next to tho corner would stop the flames,' but ow ing to tho high wind the lire swept through a row of frame buildings to tho hotel, a brick building. The flames swept along Main street, consuming buildings supposed to be fire-proof, as if they were tinder. Ihe heat was so oppressive that the firemen had to desert their hose and hose-cart, and consequently the town was left tothomercv of tho tire. Word was sent to Uclleville, five miles south, and her company hurried to the scene with all available apparatus, but too lato to bo of service. After leaving the Merchants' Hotel corner, the fare swept south to the next block, .jumped tho street to the west, aud returned north along the street, burning all the houses, with the singlo exception of Friedman Sc Co.'s fireproof building. Of four blocks, solid brick buildings, nothing is left bnt this onestorc. The burnt district includes the entire busi ness nortion, and takes in but few resi- . - . Ml .A. 1 J.!4.aences, so inero wm uoi ue any uesuiutiou. The insuranco on the property destroyed will not exceed $150,000, while tho loss will reach $500,000. A number of the largest losers were not insured. Among tho heaviest losses are Kotlin &, Co.. $100,000: insurance. 57,000; Idaho Forwarding Company, 25.000; Merchants' Hotel. 40,000; J.A.liupert, 815.000, without insurance; Ulaude Uampbell. $25,000: insurance. 0.000. nnd many others who will range in tho neighborhood of $10,000 each. The little mountain town to-day presents a very melancholy appearance, and what was but a few hours ago the most prosperous town in Idaho is now but a mass of smoldering ruins. Nearly all the merchants will rebuild as soon as possible. Other Fires. Pittsburg), July 3. Tho oil fire caused by lightning striking a forty-thonsand-barreltank of the Atlantic and Western Pipo Line Company, near Washington, Pa., last evening, is still burning fiercely.

WHAT TIRES SUSAN 11. ANTHONY. Standing Long and Shaking Hands Fatigues Her. Newr York Star. Somebody asked Snsan B. Anthony, at a reception given to tho veteran woman suflrage leader some days ago, if it did not fatigue her to stand so long and shake so mauy hands. "Yes, it does tire rne," came the quick answer, but not half so much as it did twenty years aeo to stand all alone with no hands to shako at all." Miss Anthony is nearly seventy. but her figure is straighter than that of manv a cirl of soventeeu. Her eyes are very bright and her rather thin face exrresses acuteuess ana Kinuiy intelligence, ler hiiir is nuite heavv still, and softlv grav. She wears it combed down over the tips of her ears in tho manner of a quarter of a century ago. She dresses quietly but richly in dark silks, with lino lace lor gar niture. She has one very ieminine weaknessa horror of going out in tho rain. She thoroughly enjoys the attentions which the younger and more progressive Now York women have been seizing their opportunity to lavish upon her. hether they believe in woman sun rage or not, mere is a constant increase in tho ranks of the women who are grateful to the woman suf frage agitation for the improvement in the legal and social position of the sex, which the discussion has helped to produce. "I'd lie down in the dust for any man or woman to walk over." said a young mother. who would make tho law-makers realize that mv babv oncht to be mine as well as mv husband's." Since the case in New York citv a few years ago, when a Chinaman, wno naa marrieu an lnsnwoman, willed his child to a brother in San I ranCisco, who took it from the mother nud car ried it to China, the fact that in this State a husbau, even if under age. can will his baby, even if unborn, irrevocably and forever away from his wife has lain like a rankling thorn in many minds.

IT LS A VALLEY OF DEATH.

A llavlue In Yellowstone Park Where Game Is Asphyxiated. San Francisco Chronicle. "In Yellowstone Park there is a ravine that proves as deadly to animal life as that Death Valley of Java, where wild beasts Ferish by the score," said Henry W. Mcntyre at the Palace Hotel last night. The gentleman was connected with the party who surveyed the reservation, under the leadership of Arnold Hague, tho park geologist. While following the streams to trace the extinct hot springs tho explorers reached a ravine in which the bones of many animals, bears, deer, rabbits and squirrels wen found. Tho presence of the remains caused the party much wonder. aim a solution oi mo strange auair was found only when a crow that had been seen to fly from the side of the valley to a carcass that was vet fresh lit on its prey. ami almost immeuiateiy ieu to ine ground. "The death of the bird," continued Mr. Mclntyre, "wr.s caused by gaseous exhala tions, whose presence in the park had been before unsuspected. The larger game also met its death by inhaling the deadly gas. The ravine is in tho northeastern part of the park, in the vicinity of the mining camp of Cooke Creek, and not far from the line of the mail route. All about this re gion gaseous exhalations are given oil', which form sulphurous deposits. In the al most extinct hot-spring areas of Soda bntte, Lamar river and Cache and Miller creeks the ravine was .found. This region is rarely visited, although it is an admirable spot for game, which, however, goes unmolested by man. the laws against hunting being very severe. The road to the valley has few attractions, and the visitors to the Fossil forests nnd Hindoo basin seldom make the trip. "in the center of ameadow, reached by an old elk trail, is a shallow depression that was once the bed of a hot-spring pool. I his is now dry and is covered with a slight deposit of salt, and that is the bait that at tracts the elk and other game of the region. The lick' extends for seventy-five yards up the ravine, and is thicker and more nalpablo towards the upper end. The creek runs past along tho side of the valley, and boils auu ouooies as it it were the ontlet ot a hot spring. But the water is cold, and tho disturbance in its surface is causod by the emissions of gas. mainly carbonic acid. It also contains sulphur, as particles of that are ueeu on me siues oi me creeK. as Ave went up the stream the odor of sulphur became very strong and caused irritation ol the bronchial passages. About eighty yards above uaclie creek were the bones of a lartre bear, and near bv was a smaller grizzly decomposed, but with tho skin and liair yet fresh. Only a short distance further on were the skeletons of mauy more animals, such as elk nnd deer and other large game. Squirrels, rabbits, birds and insects were Ivinir about in quantities. and the ravine looked as if it had been tho 'scoop' of a drive iuto which the animals of the park had been hunted and had there been left to die of hunger out of mere wautonness. Ihero were no wounds ap parent on the bodies before us; all the ani mals had been asphyxiated by the deadly gases that nun 2 a few feet from thesnrfaco of the gulch in a dense, palpable curtain. The first bear wo saw was a cood way down the gulch, where a neck is formed. I o that point the gas must have been driven by the wind, as its deadly nature may be easily guessed when it is remem bered that the slightest motion causes a diffusion of tho ether that would tend to decrease its noxious properties. Here is the explanation of the of t.-repeated asser tion that .game was being exterminated bv hunters in the Yellowstone, notwithstand ing the stringent laws that had been Fassed for tho protection of animals there, had seen it noted that each year bears. deer, mountain tigers and other wild ani mals wer 'disappearing from the reserva tion, and it was asserted that mends of the people who had charge of tho park were allowed to hunt there in, : defiauca . of the law. There were probably 150 bodies of wild animals J At 1-1 1 . il It i 1 iiiiueguum wnen l was mere, uuu aunougu there were skeletons entire and singlo bones, it must not be supposed these were the remains of all the game that had found death in the ravine, lhey had accumu lated only since tho last rain-storm.

TliE ' IllINOMINATION OF LINCOLN. j.' if How .the 'Great 1'resident Got Ills Second ; H . U Term. Ufrt 0(T3to6lD In Jnlv Century. Iho politicians who opposed Mr. Lincoln, whether from pure motives or from motives not purei met with ono common fate: thev .were- almost universally beaten in their own districts hy men who, whatever their other, incentives, were 6umciently adroit to perceive the sigu in which they should c6uquer. It gave a man all this year a quite unfair advantage in his district to bo known as a friend of the President, when his opponent was not equally outspoken: aud ' many of the most radical poli ticians, seeing in which direction their advantage lay, suddenly turned upon their opponents and van quished , them in the President's name. General Lane, for example, who had been engaged m a bitter controversy with Pomeroy in regard to local interests m Kan sas, saw his opportunity in tho anti-Lincoln circular of his colleague; and, although be fore this it would have been hard to s.iv which of tho two had been most free in his criticisms of tho President. General Lane instantly trimmed his sails to catch the favoring breeze, and elected himself and a full list of delegates to the Baltimore con vention, whom he called, in his character istic language, "all vindictive friends of tho President." Other members of Congress. equally radical and more sincere and hon est, made haste to range themselves on the side of tho President against those with whom thev had been more intimately as sociated. William D. Kelley, of Philadel phia, publicly proclaimed him "the wisest radical of us all." Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, to. whom one of his abolitionist constituents had objected that he wanted no more of a President who had not crushed a rebellion in four years, replied that this was unreas onable, as the Lord had not crushed the devil in a much longer time. As tho day for tho meeting at Baltimore drew near, and its unanimous verdict became more and more evident, the President was besieged from every quarter of the Union with solicitations to mako known his wishes in regard to the work of the con vention. To all such inquiries he returned an energetic refusal to give any word ot , counsel or to express any personal desire. During a few davs preceding the conven tion a great many delegates took tho road to Washington, either to get some intimation of the President's wishes, or to impress their own faces and names on his expectant mind. They were all welcomed with genial and cordial courtesy, but received not the slightest intimation of what would be agreeable to him. 1 he most powerful politicians from New York and Pennsylvania were listened to with no more confidential consideration than the shy and awkward representative of the rebellious States, who had elected themselves in sutlers' tents and in the shadow of department headquarters. "What is that crowd of people in the halH" he said one dav to his secretary. "It is a delegation from South Carolina. They are a swindle." "Let them in," said Lincoln; "they will not swindle me." When at last the convention came together, on tho 7tli of June, 1S('4, it had less to do than any other convention in onr political history. The delegates were bound by a peremptory mandate.

As in water, so in air, the formation of eddies means loss of power, and the application the rear end of a fast train would convey some idea of the folly of tho practice ot to-day. Supposing such a gauge showed an inch of water. This is equiva lent to a vacuum of abont 1-20 nound. and the end surface of a car being about eighty lcet implies a total pull or, say, asz pounds, which at sixty miles per hour is equivalent to sixty-horse power. A mere tenth of an inch, therefore, would imply one or two tons of coal every one hundred hours' run, all of which would be saved by a light frame of parabolic plan attached to a rear car. This theory may bo entirely wrong, but reason points to its being correct, as docs also the practice of ship-builders who deal with a denser fluid which, being visible and ponderable, has forced consideration of its properties earlier than the lighter fluid, air, the eddies of which are visible only by dust in dry seasons, and generally nnseen and unfelt. Will no railway engineer try tho experiment! SAW ONCE OK SIX TIMES. Why a Cheap Pencil Half Used Up Is Often of No Earthlj Good Thereafter. New York Mall and Kxpress. "Why is it," asked the scribe, as he looked timidly over the desk side at the big manufacturer, 'wheu you first begin to sharpen a lead pencil that the lead is so good and it sharpens so nicely, and as you get nearer the other end, or the rubber or metal tip, the lead gets worse aud worse?" 'You only find the phenomenon in an ordinary grade, not in the best pencils," answered tho big manufacturer, much more suavely than the scribe had expected he would. "To find out why it is, let us see just how lead pencils are made. The wood of a pencil, you know, is cedar; tho lead, as it is called, graphite. White wood is sometimes used, but only for inferior grades. In general, the quality of the wood can be determined very largely by its color. Tho redder, the setter quality; tho more yellow, the poorer. Our wood comes to us all from Florida in slabs, each exactly a pencil's length and of six pencils' width. A machine makes six lengthwise grooves in each of the slabs, and in these grooves is the graphite laid. On the grooved aud graphitfcd slab is glued another grooved slab, so closely that the line of joining cannot be seen. . Now comes in the answer to your question. This combination of graphite aud board must be cut into six pencil shapes. It can be done all at once or in six separate cuttings. Mark tho difference. If the machine of six saw blades is used, just after the middle is passed the tendency is for the part already out to spring and bend to either side. Parts of the wood below are. in consequence, tightly compressed, and the graphite within softened or broken. With the single saw blade all this is avoided. Of course, nsing the single saw blade, the cost is much increased. And so in the high-priced pencil is the lead the same all the way through. "The shaping of the iencil. tho making it round or hexagonal, is done at the same time the slabs are sawed into their parts. The better grades of pencils then go through an immense amount of smoothing and finishing. The varnish is then put on, the pencil being forced by machinery through lixed brushes wet with it. This partieularprocess is repeated several times. The polishing thereafter is done mainly by hand." So saying, the big manufacturer returned to his desk and correspondence.

There is oil enough on your hair always to keep them from getting in the tight wad to which they incline in hot weather.""And I suppose," said number two. sarcastically, "that it keeps them from sticking to your letters, too, and they are shipped off on all sides to the dead letter office because the stamps have dropped off." "I haven't lost a letter in ten years nor a stamp, either. The stamps won't come off; there isn't oil enough to keep them from sticking when you wet them, unless yon are a dirty thing and use pomatum." Thinking that personalities were more likely to triumph over science in this conversation, I ceased to follow it, bat I've since been testing the hair-rubbing business as a preventive of stamp-sticking, and find it works perfectlv. It is a little embarrassing to go through the operation in tho teeth of grinning postolhce official and staring drug clerks, and once when I bought them irom a pretty cashier I omitted it, and fourteen out of tho twenty stamps stuck together. IjA tetite bonne. A Characteristic and Cliarmlnar Type of Parisian Sewing Woman. Paris rig-aro. Just as the Parisian woman constitutes a distinct typ3 in Kurope a creature made up of charms and graces, wit and affectations so also does her servant. The mistress is always successfully photographed in the maid the higher creation lands its inevitable and fatally correct expression in the lower. Only in i ranee only in Parisis the true femme do chambre found. It has pleased us, here, to borrow a word from the argot of Paris, "la petite bonne," which is applicable to the entire clas.n of female bervants whereas the femme de chambre proper is only one of this immense family the type par excellence, found only In the families of the aristocratic circles of Parisian life. "La petite bonne" bears no resemblance to the English nnrse, to the rigid Germangoverness, the Swiss bonne, to the maritornea of Spain, or the cameristes of Ituty all of whom breath tho atmosphere of domestic service, have the coarse hands and ill-shod feet of the lower classes, and hold themselves in a position of humility and servility, suggestive of the serfdom of antiquity. "La petite bonne" of Paris is a personage of importance and of rare elegance. Kile est tireo a quatre epinglcs. dressed simply, without tbetslightest pretense to luxury, but with an'exquisite and unfailing taste. She cultivates ner hands, manicures her nails and arranges her hair in tho most becoming and coquettish style with an eye to her hatless conditon on the streets. Unfortunately, on her jour de conge, she hides all this delicate simplicity beneath the cast-off finery of her mistress, and she is then neither lady nor i petite bonne only a travesty on the former. "La petite bonne" walks with the undulating grace of the bayadere. She atlects every new caprice of coiffure aud carriage she knows every new Parisian fad by heart, and keeps the run of the fashions with the .same accuracy as the society woman who possesses many millions. She taken the utmost care of her teeth which are always small, white and even aud ho cultivates the prettiest little laugh in the world, which displays two rows of glistening little pearl set in their shining corah Her duties are to dress madame and to attend to commissions of a delicate nature, requiring tact and skill. Therefore, she must be by nature clever and intriguante. She counts the linen, mends the laces and keeps an attentive eye ou Madame's wardrobe, but she never soils her whito fingers with the dust of grosser duties. These she hands over to some menial below her in the scale of servitude. "La petit bonne" never marries the valet nor the coachmau in these days. Her wise and cunuing plans are laid early in life to secure some well-to-do bourgeois. It is, perhaps, unnecessary to add that she alwavs secures him, and then "la. petite bonne1' becomes "la petite bourgeoise." 'I hero may be Republicans among the dames du monde of Paris, but there are nomA among their servants. They are all aristocrats.
