A WALL OK BLUE ICE A MILE LONG AND FOUR HUNDRED FEET WIDE. From Hei-lbner1. The Muir glacier, which is the great wonder of Alaska, was doubtless (lis covered bv Vancouver in 1703, but Professor John Muir was the first to describe it. Muir Inlet, at the head of elacier bay, is the termination of this ereat "river of ice." The wall of blue ice is there a mile long and about four hundred feet high, says an ex change. It is worn into towers, rastles and caverns and is continually discharging fragments from the size of a paving stone to that of Cologne Cathedral. These falling into the sea cast up the spray for hundreds of feet into the air -nd send forth waves which dash upon the shores and echo like thunder among the mountains. The Muir gla cier is really a sea of ice, with numer ous branches in the valley, any one of which is as large as the Gomar of Al etsch glacier of Switzerland. It is, according to Nr. S P. Baldwin, a recent visitor, as large as all the Al pine glaciers in one, being 1,200 square miles in area. The ice is 1,000 feet thick at the mouth in Muir Inlet, and the glacier is estimated to comprise as much water as Lake Erie. It discharges 77,000,000,000 cubic feet of ice as icebergs and 175,000,000 000 feet of water by melting every year. The centre of the glacier, where the motion is quickest, is so rough and broken in.o crevasses that it is consid ered impassable. The eastern half, however, can be traveled as far as the neve. Professor Wright has found the mo tion at the centre to be as much as 65 feet a day, whereas that of the Alpine glaciers is only 33 inches or so. As much as 00 feet a day has been fount' in the cise of a Greenland glacier The Muir glacier once extended mucl. farther into the bay, and is now reced inr every year, while the sources of the ict supply are falling.

THE SHADOW OF DEATH- CHOLERA'S DEAD IN EUROPE LAST WEEK NUMBERS ABOUT FIFTEEN THOUS AND PERSONS. London, Sept 20 The Shadow of death is lifting, for cholera's death this week do not number more than 1 S,ooo it the returns are approximate ly true. Hamburg's total death roll has amounted to about 7,000, and the plague has renewed in some degree its intensity in that stricken city. In Kussia, however, there has been marked improvement, and the dis ease is rapidly disappearing in many places in western Europe wnere threatened to become a great scourge. Paris continues to be a danger point, although the daily reports given out by the authorities indicate that the pestilence is subsiding. The Ice Cart. R. W. Jennings, of Chicago, a life long republican in referring to the excuses made by the republican leaders on account of the greatly re duced majority in Maine and Ver mont, says as follows. "it is a great deal more amusing than original to hear the office holders, led by Secretary Foster, giving their version of the reverse in Maine. Mr. Foster says Republican voters down there didn't understand the new tangled way of voting, 1 heard him say in a speech once that the Republican party was the party of intelligence. Can it be that they are degenerating ? How dreadful! No, Mr. Foster, you forget that when the mongrel office holders from the South forced the Republican party to turn down Mr. Blame, they turned down tens of thousand of Re publicans with him. I inclose a copy of a circular that was distributed at the Republican funeral, otherwise called a ratification, that was held at the Auditorium in Chicago iust after Mr. Harrison's nomination. It was distributed by Mr. Blaine's loyal friends. The Chicago Tribune said editorially that we were too hasty and that if we had waited thirty days we would not have done as we did. Well, it is not the first time the Tribune has been mistaken, for twice thirty days have elapsed and the feel ing only grows the stronger out this way. The World" Western Campaign Fund is a capital idea. How hypocritical it sounds from a party that fosters a Quay harbors a Piatt and rewards a Raum, calling it a cor ruption fund!" The circular referred to was signed bv Mr. Jennings and a number of Blaine Republicans, Its conclusion was as follows: As was predicted, the "harmony" cry is now in full blast. Let the answer of self-respecting Republicans be: "The office-holders have nomi nated this man; let the office-holders elect him. Better a thousand tunes better, elect a Democrat than to stultify yourself. We ask you for your co-operation. Fifty men have signed a roll not to vote for Harrisou. They have been life-long Republicans. Fifty thosand Republicans in Illinois alone feel like this fifty. Let us join hands, get together and organi We need not vote the democratic ticket. We can refrain altogether or vote some other way. But do not re ward political ingratitude, duplicity and canting hypocrisy. We invite suggestions and correspondence. The Nice Tat Profit on Armor Plate. From tbe Erie Harold. One of the Western St. Paul, retained by men of that section to fense of the Homestead lawyers from the working assist in de men await ing trial, figures out that the cost of the armor plate turned out at Home stead for the government is only $40 a ton, whereas the government pays $600 a ton for it, the contract being for 6,000 tons, and at that rate and for that amount, Mr. W. W. Krwin, Western lawyer referred to, figures out a profit of $3,500,000 on this one contract to the Carnegies. The re fusal of Mr. Frick to answer the questions put to him by the Congres sional committee as to the cost of production at the Homestead works of course gives grounds for crediting the loose statement of Mr. Erwin. Possibly the armor plate does not cost more than $46 a ton, counting labor andjmaterial, but the estimate does not take in the cost of the armor plate mill necessary for its production, which was very heavy. Th.e agitation of these enormous pro fits at the West in the protected in dustries, and especially on govern ment work, will probably result in a searching investigation by the next Congress. The 6,oco ton contract was awarded the Carnegies without adveitisineni or competition. WASHINGTON LETTEB Washington', Sept. 19, 1892. Washington has never attempted to entertain so large a crowd as the one now here in attendance upon the Na tional Encampment of tiie G. A. R., but it is doing it well and in the main satisfactorily, although there are some complaints of over charging on the part of restaurant keepers. The city is handsomely decorated and more profusely than ever before. Mr. Har rison was kept away by the illness of Mrs. Harrison and his place is to be taken on the programme by Mr. Mor ton, who, by the way, never smelt gun powder in battle, having been busy during the entire war in his New York bank amassing his fortune. Of course this has caused some good natured chafing among the old soldiers, but they are here for a good time and are apparently having it. One year ago, when Washington was selected as the city to entertain the encampment, many prominent lo cal democrats feared that it would be used by the republicans for political purposes, and for that reason declined for a time to take any part in making preparations for it ; but they were as sured that there was to be no politics in it, and accepting that assurance they allowed themselves to be on the citizens' committee and went to work with a will, and it is no exaggeration to say that the great success of the en campment is very largely due to the work of these democrats and to the money contributed by themselves and their democratic friends. But the old soldiers had hardly be gan to arrive in large numbers before tnese democrats learned that just as they had at first feared the encamp ment was to be usad to help the re publican party. No blame for this can be attached to the republican members of the citizens' committee; they have kept their promise and con fined themselves to look afterthe com tort 01 the city s guests in a manner that is highly creditable to them, but Congressmen and officials high up in the administration, aided by the re publican National committee have been and are now hard at work trying to prejudice democratic members of of the G. A. R. against Mr. Cleveland. To accomplish this purpose thousands of copies of a pamphlet containing garbled extracts from Mr. Cleveland's Pension veto messages, are being slyly circulated among them, and a large number of members of the G. A. R., some of them said to be in the pay of the National Republican committee, are continually harping on the same subject. In addition, there are a num ber of republican Senators and Repre- senatives, chief among them being Senator Proctor ol Vermont, who was dug out of obscurity and put at the head of the War Department by Mr. Harrison, who are openly shouting about "Cleveland's dislike for the old soldiers," and doing their level best to create a prejudice against Mr. Cleve land. It is a little short of disgusting that the encampment, which should be a pleasant reunion of the men who served in the army together, should be used, and unfairly used, by politicans to further their own ends. It is a foul blot upon what would otherwise be very enjoyable affair, and it .s not likely to benefit those who are engag ed in it. secretary Charles foster is very much opposed to prohibiting immigra tion by Presidential proclamation, not- withsranding the opinion of the Attor ney General that it can be done le gally. The steamship companies have all promised not to bring steerage pas sengers from Europe as long as there is danger from cholera. That puts stop to immigration. It also prevents a lot of Americans now in Europe who are unable to pay more than steeiage passage returning home. It seems hard to shut out our own citizens be cause they are not able to pay cabin passage, and treasury officials are try ing to study up some plan that will be iust witnout being dangerous, s.-ver- al of the steamship companies have offered to allow bona fide American citizens now in Europe and unable to pay more to come home as second class passengers on their return steer age tickets ; but the officials are little afraid to give their consent to this plan as it would be almost certain to be abused. Something has got to be done, as demands have already been made by foreign authorities to know if these Americans are to be left over there as paupers. There is a notable decrease among republicans of the talk about the South breaking up this year, and an increase of talk about the doubtful ness of the republicans holding their own 111 me northwest, i his is signi ficant, showing as it does that demo cratic prospects are recognized even by republicans to be steadily brighten ing. A republican said this morning : "Nothing but a serious blunder on the part of Mr. Cleveland or the democra tic managers can prevent the success of the democrats." It was not a bad diagnosis of the situation, and it is for Mr. Cleveland and the democratic managers to see that no blunder made. is Ground was broken on Monday for the foundation walls of the new build ing at the Normal School. A lar;e force of men is at work, and the building will be pushed rapidly. Cholora Scare Over. New York, Sept. 18. The cholera scare is at an end and the quarantine officials are getting some rest. .The event of yesterday was when P. T. v all, who is in charge of the aurt island house, sent Dr. Jenkins the following telegram : "I received this atternoon from the board of health of Islip a no tice to vacate the premises within three days and that they would call on the citizens of the county to stop the land ing of baggage. Captain Corkrane, commanding the militia here, says that all steamship baggage received here will be properly protected- We are in every way prepared to give them a warm reception " Dr. Jenkins said, "Our men down there are advised of the situation, and will be prepared to resist any such ac tion on the part of the citizens of Islip. There are thirty five state quarantine police, all provided with revolves and 125 militiamen under command of Captain Cochrane. During Court week transient board. ers and lodgers can find accommoda tions at Phillips', Main St. One reason why Scolt's Emulsion of Pure Nor wegian Cod Liver Oil and Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda has had such a large sale is because it is "Almost as palatable as milk;" but the best reason is that its curative properties are unequalled.

Can you show any history or record showing Mr. Stevenson's position dur ing the period of the war, or any other information that might be of value. J. G. Russell. New Kingston. N. Y., Sept. 15. Gen. Stevenson resides in the city of filoomington, 111., and has resided there many years. The city and Congressional district in which it is situated are strongly Republican, yet on two occasions he has been elected to Congress as a Democrat, defeating the strongest Republican that could be pitted against him. This gentle man, who was a Union veteran, pre sided at the meeting held in Blooming ton to welcome Gen. Stevenson on his arrival home after his nomination by the Chicago Convention, and no man was ever more warmly and gen erously indorsed by a political op ponent then Gen. Stevenson by his old opponent at that time. This, and the fact that the Republicans and old soldiers of Bloom ington hold Gen. Stevenson in high regard, coupled with the latter's own indignant denial of the charges referred to ought to be sufficient to satisfy any fair-minded man that the charges are obsoluttiy false. Ed.
