As the papers leave New York on to-morrow's mall steamer they should reach London about New Year's day, so that the negotiations will certainly lape over Into the next century at the very earliest.

The mayor also points out that the resolution of the Spanish Ayuntamlento of Dec. 13, 1S0S, did not even give Mr. Dady a right; that nothing Is now due him from the city; that the present plans of the engineering department are not modifications of Mr. Dady's in any way, and that Mr. Dady is entitled to no right whatever in the premises.

McKENZlE, Hector. MYSTERY OF THE DEEP. Coal from nn Unknown Source Washed lTi by Ocean Waves. New York Timc3. For more than one hundred years It has been noticed that after every northeast gale that beats upon Small Folnt. at the mouth of the Kennebec, the beach Is strewn with coal of a peculiar but excellent quality, it Is even more resinous and free burning than the canncl coal of England, and the people living In the neighborhood of the point have long been In the habit of collecting It for use In forges and grates. Sometimes onl3r a few pieces of the coal are washed up by the waves, and then a storm of more than unusual severity will make a contribution amounting to a ton or two. The origin of the coal has been the object of repeated controversy. One rather disagreeable faction has contended that It comes from a source no more important than a ship that was wrecked and sunk at the mouth of the river In days of old, and some have gone so far as to tell the name of the vessel and the date of Its loss. Careful Investigation of the water off the point has not led to tho discovery of a wreck, however, and the amount of tho coal that has been thrown up In the course of the past century would hardly be accounted for by the destruction of a whole fleet of the biggest modern colliers. On the other hand, borings have been made several times along that part of the beach, and, though they cost a lot of money, they never revealed anything that to a geologist or miner would Indicate the presence of a coal deposit. The highly valuable fuel keeps making Its appearance on the shore, despite that fact, and the Maine mind is not easily discouraged when there seems to be a chance to secure a considerable number of honest pennies. So a new company has Just been organized to have another Uy for the Small Point coal bed. The contributions of the stockholders are to be spent on a diver this time, and It Is hoped that by a thorough examination of the ocean bed from the end of the point to Seguln island the mysterious outcropping may at last be found. The practicability of working the deposit, if one exists. Is by on means certain, for the sea on the coast of Maine Is not easily brought Into subjection. ORDEUHD A STU1KE FOIt FL'X. Wow n TelcsmphcrV TIe-l'p on the Santa Fe Was Ilronght About. Chicago Inter-Ocean. "This strike' of the operators on the Santa Fe," said an old telegrapher, "reminds me of the strike which took place in 1S91. I had been down in Texas and by easy stages was working back toward this city, and was In St. Louis when I -met Ramsey. I forget Ramsey's first name. He was a good fellow. I knew him when he used to work on the I. &, N., and then heard he had quit to study law. At that time ho was practicing law in East St. Louis, a city on the map and across the river from St. Louis. Ramsey was the head of tho O. R. T. "He was a little fellow, full of grit, and a good talker. The boys put him at the head because he was a lawyer and It was thought best to do things according to Hoyle In the organization. Like everybody else that comes out of Texts, after a siege of It I was anxious to get back to God's country and spend the balance of my iJlgotten gains among the people of my birth. When I met Ramsey he asked me if I was an O. R. T. man, and I told him I was. He told me thero was liable to be a strike on the Santa Fe and asked me to stay about for a few days. You can always use a strange face In a strike, and I was a soda card in a new deck, bo far as St. Louis or Chicago was concerned. "We were about St. Louis for a few days shaping things, and Ramsey was having conferences with persons In the offices of the company. A cipher had been arranged so that when tho time came and it went out over the line everybody could quit. Every man in the order knew the signal and was waiting either for It or some announcement that the matter had been fixed up. "After a harmony conference one day at noon everything on the Santa Fe quit working. The signal went out and there was not an operator from Chicago to Gainesville, Tex., that cared to work. It was a complete tie-up. The railroad people blamed Ramsey and said he had acted in bad faith. He denied having given an order to quit. He called the men back to the keys, but the damage had been done. The story was a couple of days getting out. "In Wichita there was a fat operator named Williamson who refused to consider life anything more than a joke. It made no difference to him whether his name was Williamson, or Smith, or Jones. He could change name with every Job, and jobs after every pay day. He conceived the happy Idea that the thing to do was to tie up the Santa Fe. The more he thought of it the funnier he thought it was, and finally he opened up and sent out the cipher order to strike. The result was that, believing the strike was on, .many of the boys decided the thing to do was to become a grievance committee of one In the barrooms, and In two hours there was a string of operators from Illinois to Texas declaring their intentions of never sending another word for the Santa Fe till the strike was won. "Ramsey sent out a circular over the wire and some of them returned to work. It took a couple of days to get them all to understand that some one had played a joke on the order and the road. The man in Wichita was blacklisted by the roads and the order, and from that time on until to-day he has been kept busy changing his name. The last I heard of him he was on a branch pf the Santa Fe, satisfied that he would be discharged as soon as the pay car came along and he was recognized as the man who ordered the fake strike."
