The whaling schoonerNicoline, Captain Herndon, arrived this morning after an absence of over two yean in the Arctic ocean. The schooner had several times been reported as lost. Captain Herndon says that the crew passed the winter of 1889 at Elsom Bay. The ice broke up July 22, 1890 and pressed the schooner out of water and upon the beach, fortunately doing no damage. The whaling had previously been poor, as the water was intensely cold and the ice did not move, consequently very few whales were seen. August G, "1890," alter having received sup plies and securing two white men nnd five natives to assist the crew, the schooner started eastward, and reached Herschel Island August 27. Here several steamers and the schooner Silver "Wave were found. The Nicoline proceeded as far as Keypoint, and, sighting no whales, returned to Herschel Island to winter.

Word reached here this evening that scouts from Captain Hardy's corns of United States cavalry, which has for some time been patrolling the American side of the Rio Grande in the vi cinity of Catarano Garza's revolutionary operations in Mexico, had located Garza at a ranch on this side of the Rio Grande.

PAYS HIS EESPECTS TO SHERMAN. The History of CiTilization Declared to Be That of Mines. PROTEST AGAINST THE LONG DOLLAR Denver, Col., Nov. 18. A parade and the dedication of the Mining Exchange building preceded this afternoon the "Western Mining Congress, which took place in the forenoon. That conference was opened at the People's Theater, with ex Governor Tabor in the chair. Delegates from 33 States and Territories reported, and it was understood that Hon. "Niles Searle's, formerly Chief Justice of California, would be elected Permanent Chairman. The greater part of the afternoon session was occupied by Senator Stewart, of Ne vada, with a long address on the silver ques tion. He took the ground that silver had been demonetized through the influence of "Wall street, and urged the congress to adopt resolutions that would compel the National House of Representatives to pass laws re storing silver to a parity with gold. Reso lutions favoring the coinage of the Ameri can product only, the Senator said, would not obtain 20 votes in the assembly. The Enemies of the Silver Hollar. "The demonetization proceeded from the men who struck down silver.and who aimed a blow at the prosperity of the nation. They said gold was better than silver, but where 100,000 people use the latter comparatively few use the former. To talk about main taining the parity of the two metals is ab surd." "Thev believe. "said he. "thev will rehabi litate silver and restore its original parity. If it is to be credit money it is too expensive to print promises to pay upon. Oliver is now discarded, xne goiu ring lias repudiated it and they have reduced the issue of commercial paper to the narrow limits of gold. As a consequence fanners are growing poorer and the history of bank failures show their circulation is not enough to keep the banks in reserve funds. "Why should there be hard times with 20 years of peace? "Why should times be worse than at any other time in the cen tury? "Want of money is the cause. Secre tary Sherman, after a visit to England and a conference with the gold bugs, returned home and surreptitiously incorporated in a bill the clause rejecting silver. If this had been done to gold it would not be worth 25 cents ou the dollar. . Can He Depreciated, Not Destroyed. "If it should not be used for money it would have no commercial value. But silver was universally circulated. It could not be destroyed, but it could be depreciated. There was no surplus bullion in the world previous to 1890. The entire product was used for commercial puposes. Great Britain was constantly selling silver short. The in terest payment of that nation was $80,000, 000 annually and was derived from the sale of silver, when silver went up last year England sold twice as much as the require ments of the nation demanded, and they would do this as long as silver remained a commodity. "Civilization has kept pace with the growth ot mines, and no nation in the world has been able to keep going after the ex haustion of the mines. This nation has been especially favored, but the greed of the mfsers has stopped the wheels ot prog ress. They increased the purchasing power of a dollar. Cheers. The country was being robbed. Because they made a long dollar, enough dollars could not be found to pay debts. Hence stagnation and hard times were common. "Want of money would make every man a coward, and there was not a tramp in the country who would not fight at the drop of a hat if you put $1,000 in his pocket." Governor Routt- then delivered the ad dress of welcome, in which he paid a com pliment to Senator Stewart. After a speech by Hon. C. S. Thomas and the appointment of committees, the session ndjourned'till to-' morrow morning. TOOK A TIGER ON HIS BACK. A Story Illustrating the Methods of Bldcl, the Lion Tamer. Bidel, the famous lion tamer, passed most of his childhood in a menagerie. Early in his career he was at Bayonne with a menagerie. The afternoon entertainment was about to begin when a terrible cry was raised "Athir has escaped." Athir was a young royal tiger, notorious for his savage disposition. It was easy enough to manage him in the menagerie, but at large, tempted by easy prey, the danger was terrible. Everyone fled, rushing into houses and climbing trees. " I set out to hunt for him," says Bidel. "For a long time I traced him walking from place to place under the burning -sun. Some one whispered to me from a window, fearing apparently that the tiger would overhear, 'He is there.' The finger of this hero pointed cautiously to an iron-worker's shop, the door of which stood open. I rushed in. "It was black as night; for ten seconds I could see nothing. Then in a corner, crouched ready to spring, his jaws open, his eyes on fire, I saw the runaway. A second more, and he would have bounded forward, seized and torn me. I was ahead of him; it was I who sprung. Then what roaring, what foaming at themonth, what angerl That hand to hand struggle in the twilight, I breathless, he mad with rage, was short. If it had not been, I should have been lost. " I seized him with both hands bv the skin of his back, raised him on my hack, and under this enormous weight, without stumbling or flagging, I walked with a firm and equal step toward the menagerie. Xou may imagine how I was congratulated!" RUSSELL SAGE TO BOYS. The Great Business Man Tells of the Benefits of Boole Reading. The boy who is wanted in the business world of to-day must be educated, says Russell Sage in the Ladies' Home Journal. If his parents cannot afford to give him a high school or college education, he must learn to study without the aid of a teacher, in the early morning before business begins, and in the evenings after business hours. It can no longer be truthfully said that an education is out of anyone's reach. The main thing is the beginning. Don't be in a hurry to get away from your school books. The cares and responsibilities of business life will come soon enough. Go to school as long as you can, and, remember, every hour spent in study in your youth will be worth money to you in after life. Read good books the Bible above all. Make yourself acquainted with history. Study the progress of nations and the careers of men who have made nations great. If you have no library of your own join one of the numerous associations to be lound in all cities, where good, healthful books may be obtained. Study religion, science, statecraft and history.

PHOTOS OF THE COAL SACK. An Achievement That Forshadows Great Astronomical Discoveries. Youth's Companion. Every one has heard of the "Coal sack," an apparently barren spot or hole in the Milky "Way, visible in the Southern Hemi sphere, and so evident to the naked eye that it catches the attention at qnce, and ranks among the celestial wonders of the South. But a pbtograph of the "Coal sack" lately made at the Sidney Observatory, in New South "Wales, shows it all sprinkled over with faint stars, so that, as has been re marked, "At first sight of the photograph you wonfler where the Coal sack is." After the camera has been applied to search all the depths and corners and space we may have a very "different idea of the structure of the universe from any that is now entertained.

TARIFF ON CIGARS. It Has Greatly Benefited tho Manufact urers of American Tobacco. Chicapro Inter-Ocean. "The cigar trade has been affected curiously by the McKinley bill," said 11. A. Kichey. of New York, who, with A. Cruz, one of thelaigest cigar manufacturers of Key "West, registered at the Welllington yester day. "The price of imported cigars has in creased, but not so much as was expected, owing to the fact that the Cubau manufact urers, in older to counterbalance in a measure the effect of the Increased tariff, made a material reduction In tho pries of their cigars. The tariff has completely shut out all the Inferior brands of Havana cigars, and herein Is where the American weed is benefited. Of course we can't make as good a cigar as is made In Havana, and American cigar manu facturers are now able to sunply, without foreign competition, the demand lor the cheaper grades of goods. "The duty on foreign manufactured cigurs was always greater in proportion than tho ad valorem duty on Imported tobacco, and for this reason, notwithstanding the fact that tho McKinley bill raised the duty on Imported wrappeis from 35 cents to $2 per pound, a better cigar made from Cuban to bacco can now be bought for 10 or 15 cents than before tho increased tariff. The sale of fine imported cigars has not been materially reduced, lor tne reason tnat a man wno can afford to pay 25 cents for a favorite cigar will have no objection to paying an ad ditional 5 or 10 cents for the smoke. The McKinley tariff en cigars was designed as a protection to American cigarmakers, or cijrarmakers who, while foreign born, llvo in this country. In attaining this lesult the new tariff has succeeded admirably." GOOD FROM WRONG. One Case In "Which Two "Wrongs Made Bight Mock Marriages. New Tork Tribune.

A HAIBLESS JAPANESE CANINE Selected by New York Doctors for an Un precedented Experiment. EVERY EXPECTATION OP ITS SUCCESS SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE OISPATCH.l New Yokk, Nov. 18. The most interest ing occupant in tho Eastern District Hos pital in Brooklyn is a hairless Japanese dog named Pin. He is a bright-eyed, ugly little fellow, with a skin of dirty bluish tinge without a hair on it. Three weeks ago Corcoluzzi Kauzi, a 17-year-old boy em ployed in a candy factory in Gwinnett street, near Harrison avenue, had his left arm caught in the machinery used for roll ing boiled sugar. Before the machinery could be stopped the skin of the arm was torn away from the elbow and pulled over the hand like a glove. Kauzi was taken to tho Eastern District Hospital, where Drs. Myerle and Blaisdell were called in consultation. The skin was put back to its place and the hurts dressed. It refused to heal, and the doctors decided to cut away the deceased parts and to try skin-grafting, if they could find anyone willing to contribute the skin. A Dos Found Just In Time. Kauzi has no friends in Brooklyn but a grandmother, and she is too old for the purpose. On Friday of last week, as Dr. Blaisdell ws driving past the Novelty Theater, in Driggs street, "Williamsburg, a dog ran out ot the stage entrance and barked at his horse. Dr. Blaisdell had never seen a dog of the same species before, and pulled up his horse to investigate. The doe, frightened at his whip, ran barking into the theater and Dr. Blaisdell followed him. Bert Johnson, stage manager of '"e theater, came fr0m his office at the nise of the barking, and asked the reason of the visit. Then he called the dog, and Pin and thc doctor soon became friends. "While patting the smooth skin of the hairless Japanese animal, Dr. Blaisdell thought of his patient, who was likely to loe the use of his arm for the want of a few inches of skin. A careful examination con vinced him that the dog's skin could be grafted with benefit to the bov and without injury to the dog. Mr. Johnson objected strenuously at first to taking any risk, but on the joint guarantee of Drs. Myerle and Blaisdell, that his pet shonld be returned to him unhurt, he consented to the experi ment. The Canine Not Consulted. The dog was not consulted. He was carried to the hospital and examined by a veterinary surgeon, who pronounced him sound. Since then he has been carefully dieted and his skin treated antiscptically. As soon as it is in proper condition the first operation will be performed. The boy's wound is being kept open, ready to receive the layers of skin. "When all is ready for the operation that portion of the dog's skin which is tt be removed will be shaved and washed with weak spirits. He will be bound to an operating table, so that he can not move, and a piece of the skin will be taken off the dog and laid on Kauzi's wound, so that one edge will just overlap the sound skin of the arm. Other shavings will over lap that again, and so on until the whole of the exposed surface is covered. Twenty or 30 operations will be neces sary. One application will be allowed to " heal before a second is put on. The edges of the skin are kept from dying and shriveling up by the dressings. The doctors are confident as to the success of the exoeriment. which, thev say. is the first of Jts kind that has ever been attempted. DANGEES OF MOUNT ST. ELIAS.

He says that his encounters with them reminded him of killing pigs., Of brown and black bears he saw and shot a great many. The expedition met with enough perils, how ever, to satisfy the most adventurous geo graphical explorers. Nearly all of the climbing had to be done up steep walls of ice and snow by cutting steps. At almost any time a slip would havo precipitated the party dowh the frozen precipices thousands of feet. On one occasion they were de scending, when they found ttiut an ava lanche fiad carried away the steps which they had made in going up. The impromptu staircase was destroyed tor 300 feet, and they had to lower a man by a rope to chop" out'another, there being no other way of getting down. One night abou 12 o'clock the party was passing over a bad place in the Agassiz gla cier. Two men were in the lead drawing a sled. Suddenly they disappeared from sight, having fallen into a crevasse or fis sure in the ice. Luckily they were caught upon a projecting ledge at the depth of Highest of all in Leavening Power.

In the Lucia glacier, on Mount St. Elias, occur3 a most interesting featnre, in the shape of a glacial river, which comes out from a mountain through an archway of ice, flows for a mile and a half in plain view and then is lost to sight in another tunnel. Where the stream emerges finally is un known. No explorer has as yet been bold enough to enter the tuunel and drift through, after the fashion of Allan Quar termain and TJmslopogaas. The greatest risk in such an undertaking would be from falling blocks of ice. At the mouth of the tunnel there are al ways contused noises and rythmic vibra tions to be heard irom the dark recesses within. The air is filled with pulsations like deep organ notes, and it requires bnt little imagination to transform these strange sounds into the voices and songs of the in habitants of the netherworld. It used to be supposed tbnt Mount St Elias was a volcano, and sea captains sailing on the Pa cific have often beheld what they imagined to be smoke issuing from its summit; but this is a mistake, and it is probable that the alleged smoke was really avalanche dust blown upward by the wind. LAWS FOB THE BAKESS. The Great Nations of tne World Are More Careful Than the United States. A recent number of the Maker's Helper gives an account of the laws which regulate the making and selling of bread in various countries. The laws of Prance in thiB re spect are very strict, and are enforced with the utmost vigor. The French baker is not only required to conform to the laws re garding weight, but he is also told at what price lie must sell his bread. He is further required to deposit a certain sum of money in the hands of the municipal authorities as a surety of good behavior. In the large fortified cities he has to keep a specified quantity of flour on hand to provide for war like emergencies. In Germany laws of similar import are in existence, and are enforced with such se verity that no baker ever dreams of defying them. The British law regulates the weight of loaves and makes provision for the clean liness and ventilation of the bakeshops. The price is left to regnlate itself by trade competition. The Ontario act empowers mu nicipalities to engage officers for the pre vention of fraud, and clothes them with au thority to confiscate all bread found to be of light weight. The bread seized in this way is turned over to thc charitable institutions for the use of the inmates. THE USE OF THE COMMA How a Prussian School Inspector Surprised a Surly Burgomaster. The London Journal of Education says that a Prussian school inspector appeared at the office of the burgomaster of a little town to ask him to accompany him on a tour of in spection through the schools. The burgomaster was out of sorts, and was heard to mutter to himself, ""What is this donkey here again for?" The inspector said nothing, but waited his time, and with the unwilling . burgo master set out on his tour. At the first school he announced his wish to see how well punctuation wa3 taught. "Oh, nevermind that," said the burgo master. " We don't care for commas and such trifles." But the inspector sent a boy to the black board, and ordered him to write, "The burgomaster of B says, the inspector is a donkey. Then ho oixlcred him Iw trtMiBjMav' --41-. comma, placing it ofter B , and to in sert another one after inspector, and the boy wrote, "The burgomaster of B , says the inspector, is a donkey." It is probable that the refractory official gained a new idea of the value of "commas and such trifles." ENGLAND'S F0ET LAUREATE. Tennyson Described by an Occasional Dis patch Correspondent. An occasional correspondent of The Dis patch writing from London of a visit to Lord Tennyson, says: His appearance had lost much of its stately presence; he looks every inch the man of 80. His fine face looks worn and transparently pale, though not deeply wrinkled. His large, dreamy eyes were rather red about the rims of the eyelids, his flowing hair and beard were en tirely white, only his prominent, arched nose 'and hitfrj, broad forehead denote still the strength of the poet who wrote "In Memoriain." He was dressed in a dark dressing gown, displaying a large, white collar and ruffles to the'wrists. Hii small feet were dressed in womanish looking, bronze leather slip pers; severul rings adorned his white, deli cate hands. Upon the whole he had a pale, languid, refined look to me something singularly and unpleasantly delicate in its associations with men.
