WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, March 20, I'JOO. J
The house of representatives has do- ,
elded to investigate the statements i
inado by former Consul Macrum after [
liis return from the South African re- i
public. In view of this fact, Secretary
Hay refuses to discuss the latest charge
brought against the administration
both by Herr Wesscls in London and
by Mr. Macrum in the United States,
who assert positively that a peace con
ference was held at Rloemfonteln. be
fore the beginning of the war, at which !
the United States representatives were <
present as well as representatives of i
Presidents Kruger and Steyn. At the i
direct request of these last, Consul
General Stowe cabled to the state de- j
partinent, begging it. in the name of | '
the two presidents, to "intercede" with 1
Great Britain to preveut her making!
war against them, and practically offer
ing to agree to any terms that President
McKinley might think just. Uemem- <
her, this was before the war began, 1
when a word from the president might
hare prevented the frightful bloodshed '
that has occurred. lint McKinley i .
feared too much to offend his ally and |
contomptously ignored the request of 1
the two presidents, who did not give up
hope of his mediation until forty-eight
hours before the war began.
X X t
Senator Tillman utilized his pitchfork ' <
to toss a few aggravating questions to |
the almost distracted Republican sen
ators, which furnished considerable .
amusement to the occupants of the gal- j ,
leries and to the Democratic senators. 1
Among the questions, which no Repub- I '
lican seriously attempted to answer, 1
were the following: "Has the president \
changed his mind or not? Is the presi- j
dent for free trade with Porto Rico j
today, or is he not? Is he leading his
party or has lis surrendered to the I
dictates of special interest, following j
the triumphal car like a prisoner of
war?*' After waiting in vain for a re
ply to his questions, Mr. Tillman said
with a sardonic laugh: "A dumbness
falls upon us all." Ho then vividly
sketched the present troubles of the
Republican party,} and predicted that
the people would sweep it from power,
for not recognizing that the flag, the ;
constitution and liberty must travel
together, and charged the Republican
party with indiscretion, hypocrisy, aud
dirty work.
X X X
Senator Cockrell, speaking for the
Democratic senators just before the
senate passed a bill authorizing the ap
pointment of a commission to go to
China and Japan and make a report on
commercial conditions in those coun
tries. said: "The Republican party is in J
absolute control, and we on this side of 1
the chamber are powerless to prevent :
the enactment of any legislation coining j '
from the Republican party and deemed | '
necessary by it. I will not antagonize 1
this bill, although I do not agree with it
In principle. I want it understood now,
and understood distinctly, that hereafter,
absolute responsibility must rest upon ,
the Republican party for the passage i
of all the resolutions and bills."
X X X
Boss lianna, havingjjfailing to con
vince all of the Republican senators, by
telling them that the passage of the
Porto Rico tariff bill was necessary to
got certain big campaign contributions,
is now vigorously wielding the party
whip on the shoulders of the kickers,
with able assistance on the quiet from
Mr. McKinley. It was to help him that '
Senator Foraker got the senate Porto !
Rico bill sent back to committee. This |
leaves the deck clear for the house bill, i
which deals exclusively with the Porto !
Rico tariff. Every energy is now to be
bent to force that through the senate
without amendment. Five or six Re
publican senators still threaten to
filibuster against a vote.

One result of the investigation, now
being made by the house military com
mittee of the use of Federal troops in
Idaho, is the resolution offered in the
house by Representative Lentz, of Ohio,
and in the senate by Senator Alien, of
Nebraska, calling for the withdrawal of
Federal troops from the Cn-ur d'Alene
district in Idaho; the revocation of the
labor permit system, and restoration of j
the right of habeas corpus. The reso- j
lution declares that the further use of
United States troops in aiding and as
sisting the maintenance of martial law
is improper, unnecessary and unlawful.

Immortality Will Soon Be An
Assured Fact.
REV DR. SAVAGE'S BOOK.
A Frank Discussion of an Important
Subject—He Says There Is No Sort
of Question That There Are Such
Things as Ghosts.
In his book called "Life Beyond
Death" Dr. Minot J. Savage announces
that he does not believe in spiritualism.
This is something of a surprise, con
sidering the fact that Dr. Savage has
for many years—since 1874. he says
been lecturing upon and investigating
the subject and making constant ref
erences in bis lectures to its phenomena.
He treats spiritualism at length in this
present volume.
The book reviews the beliefs held in
the past concerning "life beyond
death." He considers primitive ideas,
ethnic beliefs and middle-age belief in
the other world, compares them with
that of Paul and Jesus, and takes up
the present conditions of the same be
lief. He treats the fervor of belief in
the other world and the agnostic reac
tion which followed it, and the present
spiritualistic reaction against ugnosti
cism.
In his discussion of the Old Testa
ment idea as to immortality, he says:
"We see, then, as the summed-up re
sult of the brief outline, that althougn
there was no teaching apparent and
emphasized on the surface of the Oi l
Testament in these other worlds, there
really was a common belief underneath
the surface, growing up in the hearts
and imagination of the common peo
ple and we see also what we common
ly misunderstand, that these other
worlds take the shape which they had
to take.
He sums up thus the teachings of
Jesus on the other world:
"So Jesus teaches, 1 think, that the
eternal life, being a quality of charac
ter, exists to-day. It is not something
to be waited for. Our friends, for ex
ample. if they are alive anywhere, are
alive at all, are alive this minute. We
are immortal thin moment."
Dr. Savage's study of spiritualism
has influenced his treatment of immor
tality, as in the paragraph after the
preceding, in which he says:
"This eVery-day, commonplace world
of hopes and fears, meetings and part
ings. joys and sorrows, this world, ac
cording to the Gospel story, is encased
in a world of spirit, immersed in it,
surrounded by it as by atmosphere, I
am not saying that you believe it.
Dr. Savage points out the doubts
concerning the doctrine of immortality
held by the churches and the weakness
of the traditional creeds and the loos
ening of their hold upon people. He
treats the agnostic with tender consid
eration.
His chapter on the spiritualistic re
action is filled with bits like this:
"The one wonderful thing about spir
itualism, without any reference to its
truth or its falsity, is that it does not
(Hev. Minot J.
ask your blind belief. It says, 'Come
and see, and do not believe a word be
yond what you can see or hear or feel
of reality that carries with it this
great conviction.'
"I have had what purports to be
hundreds of messages from the other
side, and 1 have never had one that
was soundly orthodox."
He says that Dr. Lyman Abbott and
Dr. Hillis are believers in all that is es
sential in spiritualism, but are anxious
to guard themselves against the belief
in such vulgar things as a rap on a
table. Dr. Savage says:
' Frankly, I can never understand
what there is so foolish or degrading
in a rap. I tup on the door to announce
myself to you in a hotel. Suppose I
have a friend in the unseen, close by
me, who wishes to communicate some
thing to me, and finds he can call my
attention by a tap. Is there unything
so very silly about it? If there is 1 am
too dull to discover it."
Dr. Savage is frank about wishing to
believe in immortality himself.
"If it were possible to prove that be
yond this life is another, if we could
just know that, would not it be worth
while for f he sake of the comfort and
happiness it would bring? I do not say
it is possible yet to know it. If so,
would it not be worth while?"
The probabilities and hopes for fu
ture life, he says, fall short of demon
stration. but he adds:
"As -in evolutionist first, last and all
the time an evolutionist, I believe with
my whole soul that it will not be long
before immortality will be as much
discovered as America was discoveied
by Columbus."
A chapter is devoted to the studies
>f the Society for Psychical Research,
■>f which Dr. Savage is a member. The
appendix is devoted entirely to a dis
cussion of spiritualism. In the course
of the chapter he says:
I "I think there is no sort of question
that there are such things as ghosts."
His own position in regard to spir
lualism Is thus stated:
"I have said and published a num
ier of times that I am not a Spiritual
st. I take the trouble of emphasizing
t once more, because I am constantly
•(.•presented as being one. I say I am
lot a Spiritualist. At the same time I
vm perfectly willing to say that I be
lieve there in great truth at the heart
of the spiritualistic movement."
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
Gold and Bullion Sent Through the '
Mails Every Year.
Vast quantities of gold pass through '
the New York Postoffice. The post- I
office authorities tire naturally reticent
about it, for publicity adds to the risk,
but the fact is that millions of dollars
j in gold coin and bullion are shipped
I through the mails by banks and in-
I dividuals every year. In two days this i
j year $.1,175,000 in gold coin came
through the New York Postoffice for
local banks. Most of the gold to New
York was from the west.
Gold is sent through the mail in
strong canvas bags, such t as used in
the Treasury and bank vaults, secure- |
ly fastened and sealed. The bags eon
tain from SI,OOO to SIO,OOO each in $5,
$lO and S2O pieces. The bags are reg- 1
istered, and the amount of gold con- i
tained in each package is marked on
the registry receipt. Unless the hags
have been broken open in transit, or
! their contents appear to have been !
tampered with, they are checked off
when they are received at the post- j
J office without being counted. But once j
In a while a mail bag comes into the
postoffice with loose coins rattling in |
| it that have escaped from one of the !
money bags. In that case the gold is
counted to make sure that none of it |
is missing.
The treasure comes in with the or
dinary mail matter, and is dumped un
ceremoniously into the mail wagons at
the railroad stations. No outsider
would suspect anything extraordinary
in the character of the mail. But, j
even if he did know the contents of
the bags, he would have a hard time I
in getting away with any of them, for
the wagons have armed guards in
plain clothes inside.
When the mail containing the gold
bags arrive at the postoffice the mail
pouches containing the registered mat
ter are carried directly to the registry
department. The bank to which the
gold is assigned each has a confiden
tial clerk at the postoffice ready to re
! celve it and carry it to their vaults. j
These clerks are also accompanied bv
armed guards. The bank clerks are
usually personally known to the super
intendent of the registry department,
yet they must present their creden
tials on each visit, with duplicates of
invoice. The mail is piled on a long
table around which the postoffice and
bank clerks gather. The bags contain
ing the gold are separated from the I
rest, and the names of the banks to |
which the gold bags are addressed are ;
I called off. The respective bank clerks 1
[ respond and each bag is checked off 1
as it is handed over to them. Here the 1
responsibility of the postoffice ends ! 1
j and that of the bank begins. The bags !
| are carried to the mail street end of 1
lof the postoffice building If the con-
I signui ent to any one bank is large it 1
has n Wagon in wailing there, into ;
which the gold is loaded and carried j !
to the bank. Sometimes it is carried | '
in cabs and sometimes in boxes by
bank messengers.
Almost every bank in New York re- 1
ceives gold in this way. Most of .it :
comes from the west; some of it
comes from South America and some :
from Europe. The amount of mail
shipments of gold is constantly in- !
creasing. In 1897 $ Hi,000.000 in gold
came through the New York postoffice.
| Last year the amount was $42,000,000. '
and this year the figures will be much
larger. The reason for shipping gold
through the mails is the same as for
transferring diamonds in this man
ner. namely, cheapness and safety.—

Novel Rafts.
Experiments have just been made in
France with a novel raft, designed for
the use of soldiers, the inventor of ,
which is Captain Habert, of the Fif
teenth Chasseurs. Fashioned of can- j
vas and stuffed with straw, reeds,
rushes or leaves, it is shaped some- I
thing like a boat. When not in use it
can he rolled up like a cloak and can
be carried on a saddle or over a man's
shoulder. When the time comes to
use it it can be unrolled and fitted for
Its work on the water in less than fif
teen minutes. It is almost impossible
to capsize it. Rings are attached to it, 1
and with the help of these those who
are about to embark easily place it
in proper position on the river bank.
Only two openings are visible in the
canvas, and these are so tightly laced
that water cannot enter.
In order to cross a river, the current
of which is not swift, it is only neces- !
sary for a man to lie flat on this raft
and to use his arms as oars. In the
ease of a swift current it is advisable
to connect the two banks by a rope, j
The Worst Trouble Ever Invented.
There is one kind of trouble in the
world which God never sends and
which never brings a blessing with it.
It is the borrowed trouble which peo
! pie get by giving anxious thoughts to
i to-morrow instead of being content to
| bear the burden of to-day. This is the
I one kind of suffering which God bans
I and bars out of His kingdom and yet
even good people do not ban and bar
| it out of their lives. A true Christian
! on his death-bed confesses that the
; greatest worries of his life had been
through his anticipation of evils which
never arrived. As our Cord tells us,
it is quite enough to bear those which
do arrive, and we must take a lesson i
from the ravens, fthich may suffer
from the hunger of to-day, but never
from that of to-morrow. —Stinday-

Leona Dare Has Traveled 15,-
000 A\iles to Find Her.
A TRAPEZIST'S TROUBLES
Long-Lost Brother Discovered as
Prosperous Ranchman Near North
Platte, Neb.—Story of a Waif Who
Became World-Famous.
After having been the sensation of
this country for years, Leona Dare, the
famous trapeze performer, has just
concluded a fruitless visit to this coun
tiy in search of her mother, who dis
appeared years ago. She now seeks the
aid of Die press in finding her parent.
It is eighteen years since Miss Dare
last visited this country, where she
was born. She has retired from public
life and :s rich. Her life and quest
form an extraordinary romance.
The story of it was told by Townsend
Percy, an old friend, whose aid she
sought in unravelling the mystery,
which sounds like a novel. He said:
"Nearly twenty years ago, when I
was holding down an executive position
in the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
(Leona Dare.)
in Panama, there arrived on a South
Pacific steamer Leona Dare, the young
trapeze artist. Having missed the
north-hound steamer, she and her as
sistants were compelled to remain tea
days on the Isthmus.
"She was slender and dark-eyed, of
medium height and with JL figure so
slight that I was not astonished that
South American journalists had fre
quently declared that she was a boy.
"Years passed, and I heard echoes
from European newspapers of her bal
loon uscenslons. and now here we were
face to face in New York at luncheon.
Her beauty was heightened by years,
and she told me that from childhood
until three years ago she was in con
stant training.
" 'My father, Andrew Jackson Stuart,
was a Scotchman by descent, born in
Georgia. He served in the Mexican war
and afterward settled at Tuka, Miss.
He brought back from that war not on
ly the rank of colonel but my mother,
who was a Mexican.
" 'When the war of the rebellion
broke out I was a little girl and the
last I saw of my father he rode away
to join a cavalry regiment. He never
came back, having been killed in bat
tle. The Federal army coming to the
vicinity of our home, my mother, with
my two brothers and myself "refugeed"
as wo called it. into Indiana.
" 'At the close of the war my moth
er went South to see if she could find
any remains of our property, and I
have never seen her since. She had left
us in the care of neighbors, who turned
us over to the poormaster, who
promptly farmed us out.
" 'The people with whom I was
placed at eight or ten years of age beat
me, starved me and compelled me to do
menial work, and my soul and body re
volted. One day a circus came to town
and I got the ear of one of the perform
ers. He happened—such are the acci
dents of life—to be a trapeze performer
and his daughter, about my age, had
recently died.
" 'Encouraged by him, I ran away,
and began to learn the business of a
trapeze performer. He and his wife
were kind to me and so began my new
life.
" 'I took my life into my hands daily.
T invented new feats. I went abroad
and toured all over Europe.
" 'ln Russia I began ascending on A
trapeze suspended from the oar of a
balloon. The sensation was great, but
my sensations and those of the specta
tors, were, I imagine, widely differ
ent.
" 'When T came down in the country
districts I was robbed, and my balloon
was cut up to be made into wearing ap
parel.
" 'I appeared before most of the royal
families, and have souvenirs from
them. Old Emperor William of Ger
many invited me to his box, and said
to me: "You are a brave woman, and
I admire courage."
"'A few years ago I retired. T had
saved my money and \yas independent.
Theft I was seized with a desire to find
m.v relatives. I suddenly found the
world lonely. I closed my house in Par
is and came to America. I travelled fif
teen thousand miles searching for some
trace of my people without success.
" 'I found one plac-o in which my
mother had lived four years and she
had then married again. She had re
turned to Indiana only to find that my
brothers, like myself, had run away.
" 'I was discouraged and about to re
turn to Europe, when T went to see
Buffalo Bill's Wild West. I had met
Col. Cody in Paris in 18811, and after
the afternoon performance he invited
me to dine in camp. I told him mv
story briefly and he asked: "How
would you know your brother if you
found him?"
! "'I described a birthmark on the
breast which we both bore.
I " "Well," said Col. Cody, "your
brother lives about fourteen miles from
my ranch in Nebraska on the north
fork of the Platte."

there and found him.

NEW WAY TO FELL TREES.
Saws Fast Taking the Place of Axes
in Maine Woods.
, The lumbermen are making a decid
[ ed departure this season in the method
| of cutting down trees, using saws in
| stead of axes in felling them.
Up to last year the axe alone was
, used by the lumbermen in the Maine
j woods. Only the most expert men did
| this part of the work, and men spent
years in the Maine woods before they
were considered skillful enough to be
; come part of the crew employed in
felling trees. By the time a man be
came a chopper he felt like a second
lieutenant. On account of the num
ber of years spent in learning this
j part of the business the choppers in
trusted with felling trees made un
usual good wages, the best receiving
nearly double the amount paid those
who were a part of the crew who took
care of the timber after it had fallen.
That method of felling trees has
been found by the lumbering compan
ies to be very expensive, both on ac
count of the time required to fell each
tree and the wages paid. Last year
the experiment of cutting down the
trees with saws was tried and found
so successful that this year only a
small share of the men sent into the
woods are expert choppers, or if they
are expert choppers they are not sent
in with the understanding that they
arc to use their axes in cutting down
trees, but rather in trimming the
limbs after the trees have fallen, or
j In cutting up the trees Into lengths for
j handling in the log drives,
j There is another gain, that of time
and wages. It is in the amount of tim
ber saved on the stump. Formerly it
J was a common thing to see all over
a lot stripped of tree stumps from
| one to three feet above the ground.
This part of the tree was the very
I best, both because it was free from
knots and because it was the largest
part of the tree in girth. By using
the saw the trees may be cut off near
er the ground and a big saving made.
The saw used is slightly different
from the old cross-cut saw. the teeth
being of a pattern fitted to that work.

You Taste With Your Eyes.
The sense of taste is divided into
three sections, each of which has
under its charge the distinguishing of
a special class of tastes. The fore
part is chiefly sensible to pungent and
acid tastes, the middle portion to
sweets and bitters, and the back part
to the flavor of roast meat, butter and
rich and fatty substances. Recent ex
periments, however go to show that
the tongue has less to do with what
we call taste than is generally sup
posed. Our notions as to flavor are
greatly helped by the sense of sight,
smell and touch. Rlindfold your eyes
and hold your nose, and you will find
it very difficult to tell whether you are
drinking tea or coffee. Of 'courso
your tongue is absolutely helpless in
distinguishing between one substance
and another if your nose does not do
its part, which is about four-fifths of
the work. Thus you really taste with
your eyes and nose.—Answers.
