ARGOS, Ind,, Sept. 19.—Some valuable deposits of marl have been discovered in Lake Maxinkuckee, six miles west of this city. During the past few weeks Prof. Icoville, of the Culver Academy, has made more than one thousand soundings and thoroughly investigated the marl beds at the request of State Geologist Blatchley. He found the deposit at least eighteen feet thick where the water is from eight to fourteen feet deep, but how much thicker he could not tell with the instruments he had at hand. The deposit, so far as could be judged without making a thorough analysis, was of superior quality, having a large proportion of carbonates of lime, which makes ■ it valuable In the manufacture of cement and as a fertilizer. At greater depths there was also marl, but It contained less carbonate of lime. .ur. Blatchley will make an analysis and will probably call official attention to the presence of the deposits.

RUSSIA WANTS PEACE - . ♦ XOT HOSTILE TO THE UNITED STATES OK ANY OTHER POWER. ♦ Interesting Talk with Count Cassini on the Policy of Hia Government —The Siberian Railway. a HARTFORD, Conn., Sept. 19.—A special to the Times from Narragansett Pier gives an interview with Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, in which he says: “There has been absolutely no change in Russian sentiment or policy toward the United States, nor does there exist a reason for such a change within my knowledge. Russian policy does not conflict with interests of the United States in any part of the world, no more in China than in England. Russia seeks only peaceful and friendly relations with all other nations.” . The correspondent reminded the ambassador that the American people were now asked by English writers to believe that some of the continental powers had sought to arrange for international intervention on behalf of Spain in the recent war, and that this plan of action had been defeated by the refusal of Great Britain to be a party to it or to consent to see other powers engage in it, thereby placing this country under a new and special obligation to the British people. “I never heard that there was such a proposition by any of the powers,” said Count Cassini. “On the contrary, all the powers carefully maintained their neutrality throughout the war between the United States and Spain.” Coming to the question of Russian development in the Orient, he said: “In building the Siberian Railroad it was found that the route necessary to be follow’ed in reaching \ ladivostock was a very difficult one, made so especially by the existence of areas of almost impassable marshes. The engineering problems presented by that route v.ere practically insurmountable. We also found that it was absolutely necessary to cross Chinese Manchuria in order to obtain an ice-free port, which was essential to enable the railroad to be a commercially successful enterprise. Our Pacific port of V ladivostock, on the Siberian coast, is closed by ice during the winter months. We are not building a railroad simply for the jmrpose of laying down steel rails, or lor tne fun of tne tning. It must have traffic when it is built in order to justify tne Investment, and so we sought a terminus to the southward, where the ships of aii nations could come at all seasons of the year. We obtained from the Chinese government a lease of territory for a term ot years, like the lease of Kiao-Chou by th„ Germans and Wei-Hai-Wei by the British. In making the arrangement we were animated by no hostile purposes towards any other power. The only sure and certain revenue w r hich the Chinese government possesses is its maritime customs, and a portion of these were pledged for the payment of our loan to China. The administration of the maritime customs is in the hands of an Englishman. Sir Robert Hart, but we did not undertake to remove or disturb Sir Robert Hart. Wo are represented as hostile to the interests of other nations in China, but w’e have not objected to or sought to prevent other nations from increasing their commercial privileges in that country. When the English acquired an extension of territory near Hong-Kong we said nothing against it, and the Germans have had a free hand in the Shan-Tung peninsula, where they have obtained very valuable privileges. Furthermore, it should be remembered that Russia and China have a common boundary some nine thousand kilometers (nearly six thousand miles) in extent, so that we have a close national relation to China exceeding that of any other power.” In regard to the future of China he said: “There will be no partition of China. There were 429,000,000 people in that country when the last effort was made to obtain a count of them. It is a huge population in a vast country. But I do not expect to see it divided. In extending the great Siberian railway to the Yellow sea, the purpose of Russia was not to acquire or annex Chinese territory, but to secure a commercial outlet from Siberia and to provide necessary commercial facilities for our vast northwestern territory as well as for the parts of China through which the railw’ay will pass.” Upon the subject of the Philippines the ambassador had no opinion to express, his attitude being that merely of an observer of what is happening in that part of the world. The Russian government does not concern itself with those parts of China or with outlying islands remote from its borders.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis., Sept. 19.—A very affecting scene took place on the arrival of the Sheboygan contingent of the Second Wisconsin Regiment of Volunteers. The father, mother and sister cf William J. Triers, a member of the regiment, who died in Porto Rico, met the train to greet the soldier boy. Not seeing her boy leave the train, Mrs. Triers asked one cf the soldiers if he knew young Triers. The mother was informed that the young man died two weeks ago, and was buried at Ponce on Sept. 1. The Triers home, which had been decorated in honor of the home-coming of the soldier, was turned into a house of mourning. The members of the family were completely overcome. Triers was a member of Company M, Oconto, and enlisted at Camp Harvey. He belonged to the regimental band, and was taken sick on the march from Coarr.o to Ponce. Cuba Libre a Healthy Camp. WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—Lieut. Col. L. M. Maus, chief surgeon of the Seventh Army Corps, has made a report to General Lee which shows the excellent condition of the camp at Jacksonville, Fia. There are three division hospitals with 569 persons undergoing treatment, and only a few of these cases are of a serious nature, principally typhoid fever. The water supply comes from artesian wells 800 to 1,000 feet below the surface. The grounds occupied by the three divisions are excellent for camping and well fitted with every facility of disp< sing of refuse. The health of thp camp is regarded as excellent. The hospitals are well supplied and the medical staff competent In every particular. Colonel Maus regards Jacksonville as a most healthful location for a camp. Train Delayed by Soldier*. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 19.—Just as the fast mail on the Missouri Pacific was about to pull out early this morning a number of Kansas soldiers boarded the single Pullman attached to the train, declaring that they had ridden to St. Louis in a common coach and proposed to go the rest of the way in a Pullman. It took the trainmen about thirty minutes to put off the obstreperous soldiers and the train left thirty minutes later. A dispatch from Jefferson City tonight states that Adjutant General Bell had been notified by the Missouri Pacific of the trouble, and that the railroad will refuse to pay the fine for being late into Kansas City with the mail, and will show that the soldiers were the cause of the delay. The government will be called on for an investigation. Reviewed ly Breckinridge. LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 19.-Private J. H. Whalen, of the Eighth Massachusetts, died to-day at Camp Hamilton of typhoid fever, making the eighteenth death. General Breckinridge reviewed the troops before an immense crowd to-day.

He Refnsos to Consider Change of Date for His Rout with Corbett. NEW YORK, Sept. 19.— Kid McCoy refuses to hold any further conference with Corbett and his manager relative to the change of date and place of his meeting with Corbett. He was not present at a meeting which had been arranged for this afternoon at a saloon in this city, but, instead, sent a letter. All the pugilistic celebrities in town, including Corbett and Sharkey, were on hand. In his letter McCoy said: “I have been notified through my manager that the Haw thorne Athletic Club of Buffalo will pull off the proposed contest between Corbett and myself, which has been set for Oct. 15. Therefore, I do not see any need of meeting Mr. Corbett.” Ruhlin Outpointed Dunkhorst. NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Gus Ruhlin, the Akron giant, met Eddie Dunkhorst, of Syracuse, for a twenty-five round bout at catch weights before the Greater New York Athletic Club to-night and outfought and outpointed the Syracuse boxer for twentytwo rounds, but was Enable to knock him out. The referee stopped the bout in the twenty-second iound and awarded the fight to Ruhlin. Dunkhorst was hog fat and weighed about 220 founds. Ruhlin gave his weight as 195. Dunkhorst was simply an animated punching bag and took enough punishment to settle half a dozen boxers. At the outset no one thought that the bout would last ten rounds and the power of endurance exhibited by the Syracuse pugilist surprised Ruhlin as much as it did the spectators. CRAZED WITH DRINK. C. C. rnuniiiglinm Kills a Man and Seriously Wounds a Woman. PENDLETON. Ore.. Sept. 19.—C. C. Cunningham. of Hilton, this county, has shot and killed O. Young and seriously wounded Mrs. Julius J. Worcester, at the O. R. and N. depot. Cunningham, with a cocked revolver, chased Miss Etfie Worcester for a block, firing three shots at her, but the young woman ran into a saloon and eluded the murderer. He ran through the saloon into the Great Eastern Hotel, where he snapped his revolver twice at Mrs. Johnson, the proprietor’s wife. Young, who is an employe of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, was talking with Mrs. Worcester and her daughter Effie at the depot, when Cunningham, crazed by drink, commenced firing at the group. Young was shot through the heart. Mrs. Worcester was shot in the small of the back. She is the wife of a well-known mining man. Cunningham was arrested. DRUNKEN CRANK ARRESTED.

STEAMERS ON FIRE. Two Large Ycmmclm Mu ruing on Lake Erie Nenr Toledo. TOLEDO, 0., Sept. 20, 2 a. m.—Two large steamers anchored in Lake Erie, about three miles from land, are a mass of flames. They have been blowing distress signals for half an hour and are apparently burning to the water’s edge. As they have not cleared from port their names or number of crews cannot be ascertained. MISS CLARA BARTON. A Remarkable Woman Who I* a Law Info Herself. Washington Letter in Chicago Post. Miss Clara Barton, head of the Red Cross Society, returns from her summer campaign in the tropics very much broken down. She was sick when she started in last spring and has endured hardships which would have broken down robust men. She intends to resume her work again after a few days of rest, but human endurance has a limit and it will not be surprising if she should find herself unable to go to Cuba again this year. Clara Barton is a wonderful person. Her has been snent in doing good upon a large scale, a'nd her 1 hilanthropio efforts have extended to nearly every part of the world. She has spent millions of dollars of other people's money because she had no money of her own to spend. She is personally poor, and cares nothing whatever for money exceot what she can do with it for the amelioration of suffering. Her entire worldly possessions consist of a little house with meager grounds at Glen Echo, a few miles northwest of Washington, on the Potomac. The place would probably not bring SI,OOO under forced sale. Glen Echo is the place in which General Harrison and his relatives invested a great many unlucky thousands when he was President. It is a beautiful spot, as fair a bit of landscape as can be found within twenty miles of Washington. Here Miss Barton goes for rest and retirement during her intermission from active toil. Miss Barton has a rare genius for commanding the unbounded confidence of charitable people of large means. She has also a talent for enlisting the assistance of apparently an unlimited number of men and women who ever stand ready to co-operate with her in her grand campaigns of relief. In some respects she is not unlike General Booth, of the Salvation Army. Like him she is wrapped up in her work, supremely confident in her own ability to carry out any plan she might originate, and unconsciously resentful of interference therewith, no matter from what source interference comes. The whole world has faith in her honesty, in her earnestness and in her ability. She is a natural commander-in-chief of great enterprises. When she dies the Red Cross will live, but it will no longer be a one-woman institution. As loqg as she lives and retains strength enough to work she will continue to do business in her own way and in fields of her own selection. She is a unique and remarkable character. Obltury.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The foundation upon which Indiana University has been erected was a compact between the United tSates and the people of Indiana Territory, in 1816. On the 19th day of April, in that year, an act of Congress was approved by the President, the intent of which was “to enable the people of Indiana Territory to form a constitution and state government, and for the admission of such State into the Union on an equal footing with the original States.” In this enabling act were live separate propositions, which were “offered to the convention of the said Territory of Indiana, when formed, for their free acceptance or rejection, which, if accepted by the convention, shall be obligatory upon the United States.” The first of these propositions was the offer of the sixteenth section of land in each township for the use of public schools. The fourth proposition reads as follows: “That one entire township, which shall be designated by the President of the United States, in addition to the one hereto reserved for that purpose, shall be reserved for the use of a seminary of learning and vested in the Legislature of the said State, to be appropriated solely to the use of such seminary by the said Legislature.” This proposition, U will be noticed, was an offer upon condition. If the convention on behalf of the people of the Territory would accept the offer and apply the donation solely to the use of a seminary of learning, then the United States would become bound to make it. This implied the establishment of such an institution of learning by the people of the State, else they couid not have used the gift for the purpose designated. With this understanding the convention, by an ordinance adopted on the 29th day of June, 1816, accepted the offer of Congress, and pledged me people to comply with all the conditions of the donation. That ordinance, so far as it relates to this subject, reads as follows: “That we do for ourselves and our posterity agree, determine, declare and ordain, that we will and do hereby accept the propositions of the Congress of the United States, as made and contained in their act of the 19th of April, 1816, entitled, “An act to enable the people of Indiana Territory to form a state government and constitution, and for the admission of such State into the Union on an equal footing with the original States.” This ordinance concludes as follows: "And we do moreover, for ourselves and our posterity, hereby declare and ordain, that this ordinance, and every part thereof, shall forever be and remain irrevocable and inviolate, without the consent of the_ United States, in Congress assembled, first had and obtained for the alteration thereof, or any part thereof.” This full and unconditional acceptance of the offers made by Congress by the convention of Indiana, completed the compact and madp it binding upon both the parties to it. Soon after this action of the convention President Madison designated a township of land and conveyed the title therefor to the State of Indiana to be used for the purpose named in said compact. This township is now known as Perry township, in Monroe county. Thus the United States fully discharged all the obligations assumed on its part by the acceptance of its offer. The convention on its part made provision for the use of the proceeds of such land for the purpose named by Congress, by ordaining that “it shall be the duty of the General Assembly,/as soon as circumstances will permit, to provide by law for a general system of education ascending in a regular gradation from township schools to a state university, wherein education shall be gratis and equally open to all.” Thus the convention, fully understanding the pledges made in the name of the people in accepting the propositions made by Congress, both as to the establishment of common schools and for an institution of higher learning, provided for a system which embraces both, and both still stand together upon the same original foundation. It is pleasing to know’ that the people of Indiana have, during the more than eighty years which have passed since this compact with the general government was made, proved true and faithful to the pledges then given. Never in a single instance has the plighted faith of the people of that day been violated by their descendants. The purpose of Congress in making its magnificent gift to the people of the Territory has been fully accomplished, the hope of the people who gladly and gratefully received this gift has been more than realized. Indiana has to-day “a system of education ascending in regular gradation from township schools to a state university,” which few States can equal and none excel. Shall this generation of the people of Indiana be the first to prove faithless to the work so grandly conceived by the founders of our State, and. so successfully prosecuted thus far by all who have succeeded them? An act of the legislature, approved Jan. 20. 1829, by Jonathan Jennings, the first governor of the State, established the “State Seminary for the State of Indiana.” On the 2ith day of January. 1838. tht Legislature

raised this seminary to the dignity of a college. under the name of "Indiana College," and by an act of the Legislature, approved Feb. 15. 1838, “to establish a university in the State of Indiana,” all the rights, privileges and property of Indiana College were merged in Indiana University. The purposes of this creation are enumerated in the first section of the act as follows: "For the education of youth in the American, learned and foreign languages, the useful arts, sciences (including law and medicine) and literature,” and was to be known “by the name and style of Indiana University/’ At the time of the adoption of our present State constitution there were some persons, as there are some now, who believed that because the new constitution did not expressly recognize the Indiana University, it ceased to be a State institution. To relieve such fears, the first legislature meeting under the new constitution passed an act, approved June 17. 1852, in which it declared that "the institution established by an act to establish a college in the State of Indiana* approved Jan. 28. 1828, is hereby recognized as the university of the State.” This recognition has been repeated many times by subsequent legislatures. The principle of State aid. not only for common schools but for those providing a higher education, approved by the founders of this State, was strongly advocated by those who iaid the foundations of our national government. The first President in his first annual message to Congress makes this a special subject of earnest commendation. And in this he was followed by all the early Presidents. Washington's argument is too long for insertion here, but its spirit may be gathered from the opening and closing sentences. He says: “Nor am I less persuaded that you agree with me in opinion that there is nothing which better deserves your patronage than the promotion of 1 science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest of public happiness. In one in which measures of government receive their impression so immediately from the sense of the community as in ours it is proportionably essential.” Then follows a strong argument to enforce his position, closing as follows: “Whether this desirable object will be best promoted by affording aids to seminaries of learning already established, by the institution of a national university or by an*’ other expedients will be well worthy a place in the deliberations of the legislature.” I And this policy of state aid to educational institutions has always held a high place in the deliberations of Congress, as shown in the large grants it has made in aid of such institutions in this and other States. Not only is Indiana University, but Perdue also is founded upon a liberal grant made to the people of Indiana by the national legislature. Shall we then at this late day repudiate a policy, so wise and just, and which has proved so beneficial to both State and Nation? If we do the teaching and experience of a whole century will condemn us. ISAAC JENKINSON. Richmond, Ind., Sept. 19.

RIDICULE OF VETERANS, Democrats Overdoing- the War-Sensa-tion Business. Washington Post. Republicans are not likely to be stampeded by the Democratic outcry agamst misconduct of the war. Already methodic plans are being carried out for a eampa.gn of education along that line. Plenty of literature will be distributed, as far as it can bo obtained, bearing on these particular points, and from this time on a great deal will be heard from the stump in comparison of the situation recently and during ttie war between the States. Tne managers at Republican headquarters realize to a man that there is a hard tight before them; probably all of them would admit in private that the Democratic prospects are altogether too good just at present. It should be remembered, on the other hand, that a Democratic victory in the congressional elections was figured out during September and early October of 1894 and likewise in 1896. At that particular period in both campaigns it seemed to all party leaders that tne tide was running in tavor of the Democrats, but in both campaigns, after six or seven weeks cf heroic work, the Republicans won out on votes. Not a little x’eliance will be put on the veterans of the civil war to counteract the present hue and cry about the alleged maltreatment of volunteers. They alone are tne men who can speak from an experience in military campaigning, by the side of which this war has been almost a picnic. And, fortunately for the Republicans, there nre many war veterans wfitnin their party who have the qualifications for active and effective stump speaking. Their testimony will be beyond impeachment and will be supplemented by the record of Democrats on war measures in Congress. "The Democrats.” said Representative Hull, chairman of the Republican executive committee, "might have had a pretty good tiling in their outcry against the conduct of the war, but, like nearly everything they undertake, they have overdone it. The campaign of exaggegration is already having its counter effect in the ridicule from the veterans of the last war. As the soldiers in this w’ar return home we shall begin to hear the term ‘poor little pets’ applied to them by men who fought thirty-nve years ago. •Will you dare to leave your mammas?’ is ‘the question that these same soldiers will tie asking of the complaining volunteers, and 1 think wo shall rapidly hear less and less from the volunteers about the way the government treated them.” The towa legislator, it should be remembered, has himself seen real military service. When twenty-one years old he enlisted in the Twenty-third lowa Infantry, was promoted to first lieutenant and captain, and received a wound while charging on intrenehments at Black river in May, 1863. “There is considerable talk about Pullman cars for the soldiers, and it is right they should have them,” added Mr. Hull. “Bitt 1 remember when Union troops were glad to ride in box cars and never thought of murmuring about it. I have seen cavalry regiments transported with the horses inside the freight cars and the men riding on top of the ears. There was no complaint about that.” “Some of our men were transported on flat cars,” said Major Clark, the veteran correspondent of the New York Tribune, who saw valiant service in the civil war in a Wisconsin regiment. "I am going to take a box of army rations to lowa with me,” continued Mr. Hull. I shall distribute them among the old soldiers of my district., so that they can see for themselves what the volunteers had to eat. I think the ration is a good one, generally much better than we used to have. Os course, there may have been inefficient officers. Some of the quartermaster sergeants of volunteer regiments did not know even what rations they were legally entitled to. In the army quartermasters get just what they make requisition for within the laws, and no more. The ignorance or indifference of volunteer officers has, in my opinion, been responsible for much of the sickness in the army camps. Where the men have been taught to look out for themselves, and where the camps have been intelligently policed, the death rate has been very low. One of the Illinois regiments, I notice, lost only two men. "One thing tnat stands out prominently,” added Mr. Hull, “is the popularity of President McKinley. Whatever inefficiency there may have been on the part of inexperienced officers, and the hardships incident to the waging of a great war, tor which the Nation was unprepared, have not shaken the confidence ot the people in him. Even down in Virginia I am told that the people refuse to believe that he has waged the war for party advantage, and Virginia is quite a Democratic stronghold. He was loath to engage in war, which pleased the peace men; but when he entered upon it, he prosecuted the war vigorously and to a. successful end. Tiie President is popular in all parts of the country. President Lincoln’s fame has increased year by year since the war. I believe that President McKinley is tar more popular to-day than Lincoln was during the civil was.”

The Baltimore & Ohio Rutlvvay. Baltimore American. Since the receivers took charge of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad they have spent a great deal of money to improve the road, and it is now in a better condition than it ever was. Before it went into the hands of the receivers it had to refuse business, because it had not the rolling stock to handle it. Its earnings have been Increasing ever since it was put upon its feet, and they are likely to continue. The use of more capital will enlarge the sphere of its operations and make its earning capacity greater even than it is now. Those reported to be behind the reorganization are men of means, practical and successful in business, and it is not likely that they would make large investments unless they saw a reasonable prospect for good returns. The B. & O. does, as is well known, an enormous business in grain. Chicago is the great grain center of the West. The B. & O. can haul grain to deep water at Baltimore cheaper than its competitors. Its rivals have used every means possible to break down the different rate in favor of Baltimore, but the Inter-state-commerce Commission has refused to yield, for the simple reason that the haul is shorter than that to rival cities, and the advantage Baltimore now has it will keep. The grain is run in cars right alongside elevators at Locust Point, where some of the largest ships of the world take it without having to pay the extra charges for loading, such as are exacted at ew York and elsewhere. The harbor at Baltimore now has thirty feet of water, sufficient to float the largest ships. The Brasalia, of the Hamburg-American line, five hundred feet long, is now loading at this port with grain and other cargo. She will* carry away ll.ftX) tons and draw twenty-nine feet of water. A port that can accommodate such a ship is entitled to the growing trade it has attracted. It is natural to suppose that the new capital available for extending the operations of the B. & O. will be used for building

Washington Post. “England has a deep interest in the settlement of the ownership of the Philippines.” said Mr. Samuel Bride, of London. “If the United States doesn't hold on to the Philippines England will not readily assent to their occupation by any other power. Wa think it is all right for your government to hold them: in fact, from our point of view, it would be an act of weakness for the Americans to renounce any spot of ground that they have obtained by conquest. A strong nation will always hold what it has won through the expenditure of blood and money. The result of the war with Spain has elevated the American Nation in the eyes of the countries across the sea. and it would be a distinct loss to you to falter or give way in the least degree in the policy that your victory with Spain lias rendered inevitable.

Almost without exception these dreams might become. realities if mothers would only teach their daughters the most common sense facts about their own physical make-up, and advise them bow to protect themselves from the perils of the three critical periods of their lives —puberty or maturity, motherhood and the “turn of life.” Women at these times suffer from irregularities and weaknesses which, if neglected, will develop into dangerous diseases and make their whole lives wretched. The delicate organs that make wifehood and motherhood possible, cannot be neglected with impunity. If they are neglected the result is unhappy wifehood, and motherhood wall be a menace of death. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is an unfailing specific for all diseases of these organs. It restores them to perfect health. It promotes regularity of their special functions. It fits for wifehood and motherhood. It tones, invigorates and builds up the nerves that have been shattered by pain and suffering. “ For years my wife suffered from what the doctors called prolapsus of the uterus," writes Mr. Harry Chant, of an Haskell Street, Dallas, Texas. " She was nervous, had cold hands and feet, palpitation, headache, backache, constipalion, a disagreeable drain, bearing-down pain* and no appetite. She got so weak she could not get around lam only a laborer, and was always ludebt to the doctors, aud all for nogood, as none of them did her any good.
