Tbe requisition was sent to the Civil-service Coinmiasion, who looked over their lists of skilled mechanics and sent down to the bureau two men who stood at tbe bead of tbe list. One of them turned out to be a carpenter and joiner and the other a cabinet-maker. Neither of them understood printing-presses, and both bad to stand idly by and sco tbe plate-printers already employed in the bureau remove tbe machines.

Pittsburg, Ta., July 14. At 3 o'clock this morning the mud bank over the well of the obo-street sewer gave way, and live workmen, -who were trying to loosen a mass of debris from below, were caught in the rush of mud and water and carried hundreds of I feet through tbe main sewerinto the valley below. William Daily was found dead '. near the mouth of the sewer, with two coils of fire hose about his neck. Andrew N, McGregor died at 8 o'clock this morning; Kobert Mann, foreman, was seriously injured; William McClayand JosephMcCarty were terribly bruised. No one is directly blamed for the accident. The bodies of the victims were terribly mutilated by being dashed from side to 6ide of the sewer and the narrow gully down which they were hurled by the rush of water. Sunday-Law Violators at Kansas City. Kansas Citt, Sept. 14. Last Friday the city attorney rendered nn opinion to th police commissioners to the effect that tho city ordinance prohibiting the keeping open of saloons on Sunday was ineffective for the reason it did not prevent the saloons from keeping half open, or admitting customers through the side or alley doors. Jlany of the saloon men. therefore, determined to keep half open to-day. This afternoon and to-night, by order of the police commissioners, over thirty arrests were made under the State or Downing law, which not only prohibits the sale ot liqnor on Sunday, but makes it obligatory upon the trial judge to order the license of every person convicted to be revoked. The commissioners Are determined that the saloons ehall be closed on Sunday. Less of a Lake Propeller. Marquette, Mich., July 14. The propeller Smith Moore, ore-laden, from that Sort for Cleveland, collided iu a fog, yesteray afternoon, with the propeller James I'ickands, also of Cleveland. An unknown steam barge picked up the Moore and attempted to tow her into harbor. When within a short distance of land the disabled vessel was seen to be sinking. The crew were rescued and the Moore went down in seventy feet of water. 8he lies in a sheltered position and can probably be raised. The Moore is valued at 75.000. and is owned by Harvey Urown, J. F. Farkhurst and others. Kxtraditlon of an Embezzler. New York, July 14.

THE-DISTURBERS OF FRANCE

Boulanger's Followers Said to Be Se cretly Planning to Oust M. Carnot. His Friends and Admirers Hold & Meeting at Paris Yesterday, and on Failure to Disperse Are Charged by the Police. The Queen's Poverty Urged as a Reason for Voting Grants to Koyal Princes. The Shah's Rounds of Pleasure in England Proving Too Much for Ilim 'L Angelas" Will Probably Come to America. HOUIiANGER'S FOLLOWERS. They Publlclr Talk Peace, bat Secretly Connive at the Overthrow of M. Carnot. Bjocil to tbe Indianapolis Journal London, July 14. The adherents of Boulanger who came over from France to take part with their chief in the London celebration of the anniversary of the fall of tho Bastile, for the most part express confidence in the peaceful solution of tho problems which the French people have before them. They deride the speech of M. Brisson, in which he declares that ihe people of France often become incapable of pro tecting themselves, instancing the fact they onco allowed tho republic to be destroyed, and succumbed to the em pire, and in which he concludes that the majority must defend tho liberties of Frenchmen by force of arms. NotwithBiauuing ineir disclaimer ox warii&e intentions, however, these Boulanaists do not pretend to deny that in event of their own success at the comintr elections, they propose to drive President Carnot from his yu.tiuuu at mo uciiuui vue x xuucu luuuuui;, and that this will be done at the point of the bayonet if necessay, unless he yields to the wishes of Boulanger, and bows to tha expressed will of the people. It can be very easily surmised that, in view of these and similar expressions on the nart of the Boulanirists. and the equally determined tone of their enemies, the outlook for October is omin ous. Boulangor's assertion, in his speech yesterday, that his aim is to work for the ritrentrtheninir of the Republic, is generally accepted as a ruse to divert the threatened alliance between the Republicans and the supporters of the Count de Paris, an alliance which, if cousumated, must prove a death blow to Boulangist ambitions. Meeting Broken Up by Police. Paris, July 14. M. Deroulede, "M. Laguerre and other Boulangist members of the Chamber of Deputies assembled in the Place de la Concorde, before tho statue of Strasburg, to-day, intending to hold a meeting. A crowd of a thousand persons had gathered, and M. Deroulede was about to begin a speech when a police commis sary named Clementi forced his way through tho crowd, and, approaching Deroulede. forbado him to sneak. De roulede protested, but the police oOi'cial was obdurate. Deroulede then begnn affixing iloral wreaths to the railing around tho statue, at the same time leading the crowd in shouts of "Vivo Boulanger." Clementi tried to arrest De Jvoulede. but the latter stoutly resisted. saying that ho had not mad" a speech and had only cheered for Boulnnzer. He refused to accompany th,o oliicer to the police station. Clementi thereupou seized him, but the crowd camo to Deroulede s rescue ana took him away from the oilieer. Cle menti was being roughly handled by the mob, when a large body of polico suddenly appeared upon tne scene and charged tho crowd, driving them in all directions and rescuing tho unfortunate commissary. A large number of persons were arrested. Laguerre and Do Koulede. during the scrimmage jumped into a cab and were driven to tho office of La Presse, where a mob gathered and indulfred in noisy dem onstrations. Tho police cleared tho streets, and made many more arrests. The incident has caused a sensation through out the city, and dangerous developments are leared. lioulangUm Has No Parallel in America. .London, July 14. M. Waddington, the French embassador here, gave a banquet this evening to prominent members of the French colon y. In a speech after the ban quet the embassador declaimed against Boulangism. He denied that the Boulang ist programme had its parallel in America, because, he said, in America the President is elected, not by uni versal suffrage, but by delegates of the States. Moreover, in America there was practically no standing army, and a coun d etat was therefore impossible. 1 ho triumph of Boulaneer must end in disaster for France. Ho himself did not believe that Boulanger would succeed, but. never theless, he considered it necessary for his countrymen to rally around President Car not, m defense of the republic. A lloulangist Kill III Man in a Duel. Paris. July 14. M. Bclz, the secretary of the Boulangist committee at Marseilles, to day killed, in a duel. M. Pierrotti, an Opportunist, the editor of Le Petit Prevocal, a Marseilles journal. THE KOYAL WEDDINGS. Marriage Grants Said to Be Necessary on Account of the Queen's Depleted Purse. Special to the Iadlanapolls Journal. London, July 14. The committee on royal grants having under consideration the proposal of making allowances out of the publio treasury for the Prince of Wales's children on their approaching mar riage, will bring in their report onThnrsday, when it will be submitted in tho House of Commons. It is given out that this report will contain several surprises for the English people, and among other things it is stated that it will show the popular idea that tho Queen is a very wealthy woman to be an erroneous one. uy direction or rue wueen nerseir, Lord Cross, who has had charge of tho royal finances for years, appeared before the committee soon after its appointment, and submitted to them the Qeeen's bank account, which it is held shows that she is by no means a millionaire, and shows, besides, that she has been anything but extravagant. Mr. William Henry rtruith, First Lord of tne lreasury. will advocate the , i n royal claims wnen mis question comes up iu the House on Thursday. Among the people tho coming wedding of Princess Louise continues to concentrate upou itself a large amount of interest. Ordinary people are grumbling vioientlv because they have got to pav tho bills. which will be very considerable: and tho idle class, called the upper, aro in a great state of palpitation about being invited to the show and wondering whether they may presume to send presents, what sortfof a corouet to have engraved on the presents if they do send them, and so forth. The JShah of Persia has already in Bond street something verv rtunning to give to the 3-oung woman wnoso father and mother havo been so polite to him. X. M. Kothschild & Sons have gone in for a diamond aud ruby necklace worth $WX)0 which they are going to give, but the Shah's gift will probably outshine every other. The Prince of Wales is full of unfeigned indignation, rather amusingly, in fact, at tho hesitancy of the English people to provide liberally for his daughter and also for his eldest son, and considers it an outrage that there should be any question at all. He will probably be still more shocked when he learns what Cunningham Graham is meditating iu the way of a blow to his feelings. This very sound Radical, when the question of royal grants conies up in the House, intends to propose that whatever is granted shall be for the life of the Queen only, and that afterwards England and the territory belonging to her shall be run economically as a republic. The Earl of Fife, who is to be honored by marrying the young royal person, appears to be rather a good sort of individual. He

treats his tenants liberally, having reduced

tneir rents, and then, in Kina terms, reiusea to accept a present from them, and this in au actual state ox agricultural uepression. He does not appear at all overcome by the big mateh that lie has made, but considers himself quite equal to the German family who happens to have the throne, and, in short, has behaved pretty decently all around. The chapel in which the wedding is to take place was formerly a conservatory, having been changed, not very long ago; into its present state. Jt will hold very lew people beyond the crowd of religious and royal dignitaries who must be there, and there are going to be a great many wounded feelings when the time comes for distribntingthe tickets. The Empress Frederick is coming, without fail, and so is the King of Denmark and the iving of Greece. The Queen will come from Osborn, although she is still suffering severely from rheumatism and lumbago, which compels her to walk about with a stick and be very good natured. The only unpleasant thing about the queen's futuro grand-son-in-law is the fact that his father died of drink, but there is not anything to show that he has inherited his lathers failmg as yet. THE SHAH. GROWING TIRED. His Rounds of Pleasure Wearing Him Out Hi Pretty Circassian Companion. London, July 14. The Shah of Persia was to-day at Eton Hall, Chester, the seat of the Duke of Westminister. The Shah's stay in London appears to have made that worthy potentate very tired, and in the proper and not the slang meaning of the word. Since he started out in the country he has been two hours late on an average for every appointment, and has shown an unusual fondness for going to sleep at unexpected moments, when his people dare not waken him. The fact that his Majesty takes about with him a very pleasant young woman in bov's costume is being comment ed npon, and has riled the British matron 1 -l Ml. J - - A A consiueraoiy. ivs a maiier 01 iacr, rue British matron ought to be rather grateful to his Majesty for having only brought one young person from his home instead of naif a dozen, which would have been very moderate according to his point of view. and for keeping this young woman so much in the background as he does. The Shah's temporary favorite, who is very rarely seen, is a remarkly good-looking young girl of Circassian birth, not iu the least resem bling the ordinary Circassian girl of commerce as exhibited iu New York dime museums, feho has short hair, very tine eyes, and, in fact, the classical combination which goes to make up Oriental beauty. Somebody since the Shah's arrival has been amusing himself by calculating his Majesty's expenses on this trip. Although nearly everything is paid ior 03' tne various eovernments, towns, lord mayors, and private individuals with whom his Shahship comes in contact, it seems that his own expense account will easily go beyond $1,500,000 before ho gets home on account of the presents which ho gives and the size ot his suite, which numbers over sixty, aud probably uses up a great deal of pocket money. e are soon going to nave anotner ro3altjr, but one who will not creato so much interest as theAisky gentleman from Persia namely, Kit Milan. That man who divorced himself so handily; is coming here on a house-hunting expedition as soon as he has finished with the I'aris exhibition. He means to take up his residence permanently in Scotland or England, and will travel -under the name of Count Takoviu MILLET'S "ANGELUS," It Is Now Delleved the Miicli-Talked Of Picture Will Come to America. Lonlou Oablo Special. It is almost certain now, in spite of the patriotic efforts of the French art collectors, and notwithstanding the circuinst.ince.that it is at present in possession of the French government, that "L'Angelus'' is to go to New York, All that now stands between J. F. Sutton, of the American Art Association, and the possession of the picture is the action of the Chamber of Deputies. "IAngelns" has got into politics, and that finishes its career in France. It now appears that tho Rothschilds advance, of 5o3,(XX) francs to keep the pictuftf in tho Louvre was only a loan, and that unless the Chamber of Deputies votes the amount of the purchase the picture will go to Sutton, who holds a written contract to this effect signed by M. Proust, the French Minister of r inance. There is scarcely the slightest possibility that the Chamber will vote tho necessary amount, since M. Proust's extravagance in purchasing the picture has been made an issue l3' the opposition. Proust himself has given up all hope, and informed 31 r. . Sutton yesterday that he micht consider the picture hi. Trustees McGuire and Glover, of the Corcoran Art Gallerj, who were obliged to hire a special train to uet to Palis in time to bid on "LWngelus," have also had a conference with M. Proust about the picture this week, but have now resigned their claim in Sutton's favor. Consequently Sutton is in hi eh spirits, aud promises to have "L'Angelus'' on exhibition at the American Art Gallerj before the summer is over. GENERAL FOHEIGN NEWS. Nothing Definite Yet Done Toward Commencing Work on the Nacaragua Canal. Panama, Julj 5. The latest news from Nicaragua, received on the eve of closing the supplementary mail, is to tho effect that nothing definite has yet been done toward the pushing of the canal ivork. But, nevertheless, as engineers and laborers were continuing to arrive at Greytown, the people still held on to their hopes that a speedj settlement would bo reached of the difbeulties that had arisen to retard the work. Not only was labor being imported from the Bahamas and elsewhere, but notices had been distributed throughout the country calling for 400 laborers to go to Grej'town. and offering tweutj- soles per month. Few native laborers presented themselves. The War with the Rervifthe. London, July 14. Fears are expressed at Cairo that the advance of Dervishes along the Nile is really onlj'a feint intended to cover a far more formidable movement. If these fears turn out to be well-founded Egypt will bo forced to rely for safety upon the loyalty of the Bishareen tribes, and this is by no means aboo suspicion. If the Bishareens oppose tho advance of the invader, and do so in earnest, thoj can hold him in check until forces of Eg3-ptians can bo organized to drive him back into the desert. Otherwise onlj a few straggling and disorganized military posts will bo in opposition to Abu Homed overrunning the whole of upper Egypt. A dispatch from Cairo says: "In skirmishes with the Egyptian troops th5 Dervishes have lost ninety men. There are persistent rumors in this city to tho effect that a combined British-Egyptmn advance will bo made on Dongola in the autumn. Italian Cardinal Oppose an American rope. London, July 15. The Standard's Romo correspondent says: "The Italian cardinals oppose the suggestion of several foreign Cardinals that the election of an American cardinal as Popo would tend to solve the Roman question. The Pope has asked three cardinals whether it is advis able that the conclave to elect his successor bo held at Rome or elsewhere.7' What the Hooks Would Show. London, July 14. Adherents of Mr. Parnell almost unanimously incline to the belief that an inspection of tho books of the Loyal Patriotic Union would afford nroof tnaiineiaie wnness nggoic either wrote or fully inspired the 'Tarncllism and Crime" papers. Cable Notes. There was some slight improvement, vesterday, in the condition of Wilkie Collins. It is stated that since the Wohlgemuth dispute the Swiss government has decided to establish embassies at London and St. Petersburg. A brilliant review of French troops was held, yesterdaj', at Long Champs. President Carnot was heartily greeted bj the great crowds that gathered to witness the sight. Topulation of fit. Taul. St. Paul, July 14. According to a census taken by the publishers of Polk a directory, the city of St. Paul has a population of iai247, a gain of 81,850 since- the census of 1865.

THE WPJTERS CLOSING SESSION. A Successful and Entertaining Convention B. L. Paine's Contribution of Verse, Special to tlio Indianapolis Journal.

Warsaw, Ind., July 13. They have come. and gone tbe Western Association of Writers and Warsaw has been treated to literature galore. Poetry, essays and recitations have flowed from the literary fountain m a constant stream for four days, and the very air is resonant' with 6cntimtnt and song, lint it was a clear, pure, healthy stream, flowing naturally and gracefully on toward the broad sea of general literature, of which thi3 association has become a strong feeder. Many a gem that sparkled with wit; many a rough' diamond beneath whose unpolished surface shone a brilliancy that challenged admiration, and precious pearls of thought were thrown up from the literary depths and gathered together here on the banks of the beautiful lakes of Warsaw. Last night occurred the closing literary and musical entertainment, and, it being the last night, the association seemed to have arraneed the nrocrammo to nut in the entire time, and the kind and indul gent citizens of Warsaw who turned out to hear the literary people read their own proaucnons were soreiy amiciea wiin mo unnecessarv leneth ot the programme. Notwithstanding this unmerited punishment, the members of tho association carry awaj" from Warsaw the good will of the citizens, and by their genial manner and appreciation of the kindnesses bestowed upon them during their stay, left a good impression, and were extended an earnest invitation to return next year. Miss Nellie Stackhouse. the bright and witty correspondent of the Chicago Trib une, who is a member of the association, and who was hero during the convention. wrote eonio pert and somewhat spicy let ters, liut she will not seriously demur when it is said that she delighted in peopling the convention with imaginary characters people who were not there at all. The tender young men and simpering young women approaching the lions with tear, while carrying little rolls of manu script and waiting to be patronized and fed upon tatty, are all tine shafts for reportorial sarcasm, but they were not at the convention at all. There may be such people somewhere, but she did not see them at the fourth annual meeting of the estern Association of Writers. The weather has been hot much of the time, but there aro two cool exceedingly cool places in Warsaw. One is the immense ice-houses along the lakes, where thousands of tons of ice repose, and the other is the atmosphere which pervades the hotels. It is absolutely frigid, and to venture near one of the clerks in either of the Warsaw hostelries in Warsaw is very much like going on an arctic expedition. Among the many beautiful and pathetic things read during the convention was the following bit of verse from D. L. Paine, of Indianapolis: COMRADES. The Journey had been long and wearisome. The mountains and the desert were o'erpast And lay in purple distance; and at last The clamor and the city's busy hum. The lasper sea sang its unenaing songs, Aud in It, as a burning plummet cast. The sun's great tlery orb was dropping fast, And only twilight brief tho day prolongs. I asked the guide: "Where will the Journey end, And where shall rest and love again bo found!" lie. iQilin?, pointed to enchanting ground Which, glorined In light, seemed to descend. The light-house burned afar; the night-spent day Drowsed on the ocean, and its eye-lids fell; Noise seemed the passing echo of a bell, lie softly said: "Only across the bay." And now again I wait. The twilight gray Agnin enfolds me, and the prospect fades. I ask: "How far" and through the gathering shades I hear the words: "Only across the bay." SUNDAY AT DEER PARK. Rain Keeps the President Indoors Most of the Day His Future Programme. Dkkr Park, July 14. The rain kept the presidential family indoors the greater part of the day. Late in the afternoon the sun came out, giving ex-Senator Davis an opportunity to take the President out for a drive. Secretary Windom and Private Secretary Halford were also members of the party. The Harrisons and the Windoms afterwards dined at the Elkins cottage. There were a number of people from Oakland and the surrounding country expecting to see tho President at the hotel, a report having been circulated that he would hold a public reception on Saturday evening. They were disappointed. The rumor may have originated irom a remark by Mr. Halford, on the hotel veranda, to tho effect that Mrs. Harrison proposes to be "at home" one day each week during her stay here, to casual visitors. The President remarked that in view of the hot, dusty ride of Friday afternoon, he might be obliged to revise his plans for the summer and spend more time here than ho had.originally intended. He does not look forward with pleasure to a twelve hours ride cn the railroad weekly, for the next two months, and he will probably go to Washington during that period only when absolutely necessary. Secretary Windom heartily concurs in the proposition to hold Cabinet meetings here in the meantime, and Private Secretary Halford cheerfully volunteers to make trips to and from the capital as may be necessary, to keep the President fully informed as to the condition of the public business. This matter is still under advisement. Overlooked a Good Sum of Money. Sault Ste. Makik, Mich., July 14. The station agent 6f the Duluth, South Shore &. Atlantic at Soo junction yesterdav found the remains of a Canadian mail-pouch which had been missing since Nov, 2. The bag was known as the Windsor potich, and was made up at the Canadian Soo. All trace of it was lost after it left this city. The theory now is that it was 6tolen while being transferred from ono train to another at Soo Junction in the dark, and taken into the woods by the thieves, where it was rilled of its contents. In their hurry, however, the thieves overlooked . a pnekago of monev amounting to 417.61. This the station agent discovered reduced almost to a pulp. and turned it over to Postollice Inspector Eugene PaiselL The bag contained besides $1,007 in registered matter. 524 of which was Canadian customs dues, all of which the robbers secured. ISattUng for Valuable Property. Erik. Pa.. Jhly 14. The battle for nosses siou of a valuable piece of railroad pronertv. claimed by both the Lake Shore and the Erie fc Pittsburg railways, operated b tbe Pennsylvania Company, was renewe last night at midnight. The Lake Shoro company surprised the Penn sylvania Company, and captured the coveted tracks without opposition.

To-day's game between tbe Cincinnatis and Brooklyns was stopped at the end of the fourth inning by a heavy rain and wind-storm. Over three hundred feet of tho high fence surrounding the grounds was blown down, and for a time it looked as though tho grand-stand and pavilion would be swept away so violeut was the storm. Four or five carriages wero wrecked and several horses were injured by the falling fences. Tbe score stood 4 to 0 in favor of Cincinnati when the game was called. Telegrams from Bancroft. President Brush has received no information that Manager Bancroft has resigned, but, on the contrary, has had official com

munication with that gentleman, indicat ing that he is still in charge of the club. "I have had two telegrams from him to-day," said mt. Brush, last evening. "One ot these was to tho effect that the club's uniforms had not yet arrived. The other was that tne reports sent out from Indianapolis that the players are dissipating are abso lutely false. 1 he manager states that they aro not doing any drinking whatever. As to Mr. Bancroft's resignation I have no information that he has resigned, or that ho is going to resign." Base-Ball Notes. Clarkson leads the pitchers in strike-outs with 133. Staley is second, 80; Keefe and Bullinton third, each 77. Putting hay into a barn was required of several professional players in a New Hampshire town recently when they had au olF day, and the manager thought they should have exercise. 1). D. Lunt, the university club pitcher, whose services the Milwaukee club has been vainly endeavoring o secure, positively refuses to become a professional ballplayer. He has entered a law office in Milwaukee, and will follow his profession. The Hustlers, of the Association, defeated tho Easterns, of the City League, yesterday morning by the score ot 7 to ii. The feature of the game was the battery -work of Schultz and Adams of the Hustlers. Only one hit was made oft' Schultz. Chronicle-Telegraph: Jack Glasscock is now batting about 100 per cent, harder than he ever did before and fielding just as well as when he first made his reputation as a great short-stop. It may be truthfully said that Jack is not a back number. In strike-outs the Chicagos take the lead, with 239. The Pittsburgs have the next worst strike-out record, with 230; then follow the Cievelands with 200, the Washiugtons with 192. the Bostons with 182. the Philadelphias with 175, the Indianapolis with 107, and the New Yorks with 162. Nash, the Bostons' third basemen says that he will get hit just once more, and then tho Boston management will be looking out for a new man, for he will never go back to tho position again. He says that the ground in his territory is in the most deplorable condition. He is afraid of being hurt like Beckley. Manager Loftus, of tho Cleveland team, gives it as his opinion that the Bostons cannot win the pennant with their present team. Mr. Loftus says that the Boston infield is very week, as Quinn and Kichardsou seem to be unable to execute a double play unless it is an extremely easy one. He thinks that Boston depends too much on batting to win games. THE NATURAL GAS SUPPLT. Experience Justifies the Belief that There It Abundance of the Fluid New York Star. W. S. Guffey. one of the pioneers in the petroleum development of western Penn sylvania and one of the lirm of J. 31. uuney Ac. Co.. which controls a large portion of the natural gas territory in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, is a guest at the Fifthaveune Hotel. In a conversation with him last night on the staying qualities of gas, he said: ''Eastern people are still afraid that gas will play out. So far there is no indication ot it. though when we first com menced using it in Pittsburg four or live years ago, that is using it generally, there were iuauy I'eoinu wnu uiu not looa. ior 11 to last more than six months or a vear. Now that it has been in general use for several years, and the supply keeps right up, there is not much apprehension at home, but I meet it everywhere outside. 'The science of natural gas is not fully understood yet, and no one can tell how long it will last. If I remember rightly, the iron manufacturing firm of Spang &, Chalfant were the first people in Pittsburg to nse it. They bought a little tract of gas territory at Landensburg, about tn or twelve miles from Pittsburg, and laid a Eipe line to their mills. Since that they aye drilled other wells and enlarged their piping capacity. They have been using it for about tif teeu years now,' and still draw theirsupply from the same source, and claim that there is no diminution of pressure. 'The big Murraysville field, about sixteen or eighteen miles from Pittsburg, was the main supply of the Westingbouse Gas Company, which furnished the great majority of gas to Pittsburg. The held was a small one, and was punched full of wells. Their was a terrible drain on it. After a couple of years there was soma falling off. Then another field was opened up a httlo to the north of it, which relieved the pressure on the Murraysville field, and now the owners say they are unable to see any falling off. But the total failure of one of the great gas-fields would not in any way shut off Pittsburg's natural gas. Besides Murraysville, there are, within a radius of forty miles, which is not difficult piping dint a nee, Cationsburg, Grapeville, Belle Vernon, Washington county, and others, all of which are developed, with pipe-lines laid, and any ono of which could supplv the entire section. The great iron firm of Jones it Laughlin own their own gas-field and pipe-line at Whitehall, about fifteen or eighteen miles from their works. Carnegie & Co., as a precaution, have private pipelines to both the Murraj8ville and Grapevillo fields, but at present depend on the first. Accepting the theory that the gas is not continually generating, but is stored in pockets down deep in the earth, and judging from our experience of the past four or five years, no one of the present generation will see gas exhausted, aud the great field of Grapeville alone would supply the district, I believe, for twenty years." One Effect of Protection. , Philadelphia Inquirer. "One of the industries which have been successfully built up under the influence of a protective tariff." ays Kobert Comly, "is the dried fruit industry of the Pacific coast. Five years ago not more than one box of California prunes was used in the East, against 100 boxes of French prunes. Now at least 70 per cent, of all the prunes consumed are brought from California, and in a few years California prunes will entirely supply the demand. California raisins, too, are largely so'd here, especially the kinds called "London Layers" and "Loose Muscatels." Tho prunes are equal to and, in some cases, better than the French, but the raisins are not quite up to the Mediterranean fruit. This is a defect which time will probably remedy, as it is thought to be due more to a lack of skill in preparation than to any defect in the fruit. m 1 am glad to see the country becoming independent of foreign producers in such an important field, especially as consumers are benefited by a reduction in the price of from 23 to CO per cent."

An Official Description of the Great TVorU Now in Progress. New York Times. Advanced sheets, with maps, have been issued by the Nicaragua Canal Company of a pamphlet which presents tho first complete desciiption of the work of constructing tho great 6hip-canal across the Nicaragua. This pamphlet will enable auy one a (stranger to that part of the tropics to ob tain, at a single reading, a very sood idea of this vast undertaking. One part of the pamphlet is devoted to a description of the engineering work upon the canal, and another part to a recital of the climatic and other advantages in which Nicaragua is pro-eminent. The canal traverses tho lowest depression of land in the Cordilleras between the arctic ocean and Cape Horn. This depression is occupied by the large inland sea of fresh water. Lake Nicaragua, and by its outlet, the San J uan river. The western border of the lake is within twelve miles of the Pacific coast, from which it la separated by a low divide of forty-two feet. The lake is 110 feet above sea level. Itdrains toward the Atlantic ocean through the river. This great natural feature is to be utilized in tuo nronosed canal, both tha lake and the river beiugnavigable throughout most of tho route proposed for the i i-n : . i i . cuuai. jruuuMug is au eivrati irom in pamphlet: The details of work to be done are. roujrilr. z. breakwater at Graytown, on tbe Caribbean pea. areuging mence to me westward ten tnuel through alluvial ground; then a lock of thirty one feet lift. At two miles beyond there will bo a second lock or double lock of the combined lift of seventy-five feet, and a dam across tna small stream I)esca Jo, above w hich will be a basin affording miles of free navigation; then a rock cut about J34 miles in length, followed bv twelve miles of freo navigation in the valleys ot two email rivers, the tan Francisco and the Macbado. llere the water will ba raised by dams and embankments, and the basfns will connect directly with tbe ban Juan river above a barge dam across thtit river, which will raise the surface level in tha river and lake and secure additional free navigation of sixty-four and a half miles iu the river, and fifty-six and a half across the lake. On the western side of the lake tho canal enter a cut ot slight depth in the earth and rock, nine miles long, issuing then into the Tola basin, w ith livo and a half miles of tree navigation obtained by damming tbe small stream, the Rio Grande. At this dam a series of locks lowers the level eighty-tive feet, and the canal proceeds in excavation down the valley of the Rio Grande, a distance of two miles, to the last lock, a tidal lock of twenty to thirty feet lift, below which th canal enters the upper portion of the harbor of Erlto, one and a half mile from the racifla ocean. ; From ocean to ocean the canal will be 170 miles long. There will be lb" miles of excavation on tho east side, 11 U miles on tho west, 34 mile for 6ix locks, making a total excavation of' 28 miles. There will be a total navigation in the several basins now existing and to be constructed of J1 miles. Free navigation will be had in the San Juan, river of 042 miles, and in Lake Nicaragua, of 5Cio miles, a total of m miles. With the. . exception of the rock cuts in the eastern and western divides, the canal in excavation will be at all points wide enough fpr two ships to travel in opposite directions. j.iiiuuKu uiu u;isiu3 aim iu ine iuko ana river vessels can pass each other and navigate with entire freedom. The traffic of the canal will bo limited only by the time required to pass a lock. On tho basis of forty-live minutes as tbe time for this operation and that but ono vessal shall . pass in each lockage, the number of vessels which may pass through the canal in one day is calculated at thirty-two, or in one i year ll.oX), which, based on the average tonnage of vessels going through the Suez l canal, will give an annual capacity for irainc 01 over iweurv minion tons, in locks, however, are GOO feet long and seventy feet wide in the chamber, and two vessels each of 2,000 tons displacement caa be passed in one lockage, thus materially increasing the estimated capacity. Tho timo from ocean to ocean by 6teamers is estimated at twenty-eicht hours, which includes one hour and "twenty minutes for possible detentions in narrow cuts. In regard to the supply of water for tho canal, the lowest flow of the lake in the dry season is 11,390 cubic feet per second. Its average discharge is 14.724 cubic feet pec second, or in one day 1,272,530,000 cubic, feet. Tho water required for thirty-two lockages in one day is 127,400,000 cubic feet. Consequently the lake supplr alone is ten times the maximum needed lor the operations of tho canal. . Addition to the PhonogTapli. Paris Letter. At a recent meetine of the French Academy M. Lippman presented a note by M. G. Gueroult, 111 which it is suggested that by the combined use of a phonograph and an apparatus for instantaneous photography and reproduction of tho pictures obtained it would be possible to reproduce at any future time not only the speech of a person, but also bring before the audience a vivid picture of the person's gestures and facial expression. The procedure would be somewhat as follows: A person speaking or 6ingiug into tho phonograph would be photographed by an automatic apparatus geared with the barrel of tbe phonograph. The picture would ba instantaneous, and taken at the rate of.say, ten pictures per second. They would then be developed and arranged iu a special lantern for reproduction on a screen isochrononsly with the phonograph, when tha latter is reproducing the speech. An audience misht thus be enabled not only to hear the utterances of, say. a famous actor, but also see himself and his actions represented on a screen. About a year and a naif ago M. A. llandseot, of Urnsseb?, experimented with a similar apparatus. Tlark! From the Tombs. Omaha BepuMican.
