MODIFIED THE ORDER.
Ilallrnad May tarry Certain Letters
Without foliage.
Washington, Aug. 24. Acting Post-master-tiuneral
Neilson today modified
the recent order of the postmaster-general
prohibiting railroads from carry
ing, without payment of postage, mail
relating to railroad busineaa. Tbe
modified order was iasued to - meet the
views expressed In an opinion by At-toruey-Oeueral
Harmou, to whom the
matter had been referred at the request
ot tha railway companies.
The attorney-general held first, tbat
a railorad company has the right to
carry letters without payment of post
age, tbat are written and sent by tbe
olllcers and agiuti of the railorad com
pany which carries and deliver them,
concerning ita busineaa, aud these only.
They may be letter! to it other officer!
aud agenta, to those of connecting
linen, or to any cue else, eo long aa no
other carrier intervenes. The moment
this occurs, auch other carrier ie tran
sporting lettere for a third party, which
la oonturtry to law. Lettetrsnf a com
pany addressed to officers or agenta of a
connecting line on company bueinesa
and delivered to an agent of the latter
at the point of connection may be car
ried by tbe latter to any polut on the
lino, bocnueo, auch lettere ooine within
the principle already expressed. But
any company or officer or employe
thereof carrying letters which are
neither written by that company nor
addressed to It, ia liable to the penal
tie imposed by law. Thie 1 tite rule,
though the intervening carrier may
have an ultimate interest in the sub
ject of the correspondence.
AN INFANT MONSTROSITY.
Au KI(ht-Moutlia-IMd Male Cblld Diet
of Old Age.
St. Louis. Aug 24. Sherman Kobert
Burch died ot seuile debility at the
age of 8 mouth. Tbe child was born
last December, aud ou Monday died of
old age. He had passed through all
the Intellectual phases that are com
mon to mankind, but ao rapidly that
be had not time nor opportunity to
gather the knowledge that come of ex
perience and prooept or the wisdom
boru ot thought Hie brain developed
aud then withered with a rapidity
comparable ouly to the growth and
decay of Jonah's gourd.
The face aud head of the child made
a striking feature. The head was
wedge-shaped, broad at tbe top and
'tapeiiug to a point at the chin. It
waa surmounted by a crop of dark
browu hair, rather ecaut, but strong
aud ot full eiae. It waa uot such hair
aa growe on the head of au 8-moutha-old
baby. It was strong aud ooarae a
that ot a man of mature age. Ou the
upper lip waa a slight muttache, plaiu
ly outlined, while all over the face a
ktraggling beard waa discernible.
"The baby was unusually bright,"
said the father "He began to notice
almoat aa soon as he was boru, aud by
the time he whs a week old he seemed
to know a mu ;h as hi older brother,
who waa a year old. He did uot try to
talk, but would look at you ai though
he kuew what you were thiukiug
about. He never did look like a child,

luternatlonal Arbitration" Waa the
Subj.et ot Hia Addreaa, and He Waa
Ureeted With a ll.arty Applause.
Saratoga, N. Y.. Aug. 24 -Oyer
4,600 people assembled today to listen
to tbe addres of Lord Russell, of Kll
lowen, lord chief justice of England,
on "International Arbitration," before
the American Bar Association. It wai
one of tbe most distinguished audienoe
ever gathered here. Lord Russell wa
greeted with hearty applause. Be
lidei Lord Kossell there wa grouped
on tbe platform United State Surpeme
Court Judge Rufus W. Peokham,
United States Attorney General Har
mon, New York Court of Appeal
Judge Bartlett, and inuuy other promi
nent personages.
Speaking of tbe movement for arbi
tration, Lord Russell aaid in part:
"In 18SJ0 the senate and nouse oi
representatives of the United States
adopted a concurrent resolution re
questing the president to make use of
any fit occasion to enter into neogtia
tione with other governments to tbe
end that any differences or di-iputei
which oould not be adjusted by diplo
mats agency might be referred to arbi-
, tration and peacefully adujsted by such
1 means. Tbe British bouse of com
mon! in 1893 responded by paaeiug
; unanimously a resolution expressive of
1 the satisfaction it felt with this action
and with the hope that the government
of tbe queen would render ready co
operation to give it effect. The parlia
ment of Denmark aud Switzerland and
the French chamber of deputies have
followed suit.
"It seemed eminently desirable tbat
there should be an agency by which
member of tbe great representative
and exeoutive bodies of the world in
terested in thii fur-reaching question
should meet on a common ground aud
discuss the basis for common action
With this object there has recently beeu
founded 'the permanent pirliiraeutary
commi'tee iu favor of nrbitrati in aud
peace,' or, as it is sometimes called,
'the interparliamentary uniou.' This
uuion haa a permanent organization.
' Iu officer! and members ere uot vaiu
idealists; tbey are men of the world.
They do no olaim to ba regeuerators of
mankind, nor do they promise the mil
lenium, but tbey are doiug useful work
iu making straighter aud lees difficult
the path of intelligent progress.
"Speaking iu this place, I need ouly
refer iu passing to the remarkable pan
American congresa held iu your state
iu 1800, at the instance of the late
Mr. Blaine, directed to the same peace
ful object.
"It i obvious, therefore, that the
eeutiuieut for peace aud in favor of ar
bitration aa tbe alternative for war is
growing apace. How bas this senti
ment told ou the direct action of na
tions? How far have they shaped iheir
policy according to its methods? The
auswer to these question ia that peaceful
and encouraging experience has shown
that over a lurge area international
; differences may honorably, prautically ;
and usefully be dealt with by peaceful
' arbitrameut.
1 "There have beeu since 1815 some
' sixty Instances ot effective internation
al arbitration. Thirty-two .of these
j tbe United States has been a party to,
and Ureat Britain to some twenty ot
I them. There are many insttnees also
of the iutroductiou ot arbitration into
: treaties. Here, too, the Uuited States
! appear in the vau. Are we, theu, to
conclude tbat the milleuium of peace
, baa arrived, tbat the dove has returned
j to tho ark, a sure sign that the waters
of international strife have subsided
poramnently?
"I am not sanguine enough to lay
this flattering unction to my soul.
Unbridled ambition, thirst for wide
domain, pride ot power still holds
way, although with lesseuod force
aud in some sort under the restraint of
the healthier opiuiouof the wolrd. But
' further, friend as I am of peace, I
would yet affirm that there may be
even greater calamities than war the
' dishonor of a nation, the triumph of an
unrighteous cause, the perpetuation of
hopeless aud debasing tyranny. It be
hooves, then, all who are friends of
I peace and adovcates of arbitration, to
, recognise the ditliculties aud to dis-
1 oriminate between the causes iu which
friendly arbitration la aud iu which it
' may not be practically possible. '
! "Arbitration will not cover tbe
' wbole field of international contro
versy, and uutil the great powers ot
' the world lu league biud themselves to
coerce a rocalcitraut member of the
1 family of nations, we have still to face 1
the more than possible disregard by
, powerful state of the obligations of
! good faith and of justice. The scheme
of such a combination has hnvu nrivn.
cated, but the signs of it accomplish
ineut are abseut
"I doubt whether In any case a per
manent tribuual, the members of
which shall be properly designate, is
practical or desirable, I fear it might
assume intolerable preteutiius. "
RtL'CS OF THE PAST.
In.err.tln, Dlac.v.rle. by P.nn.yl
eanla Mound Kseavators
Pittsburg, Aug. 24 -Great Interest
1, manifested over tbe discovery of im
plement. in a mound a. McKee rock,
wbloh ii being excavated for
purpose. Tbe mound i bellved to
havebeen built by the ancient mound
builder., and tbe implement! found
today place the mound on a par with
those that hava been explored else
where. Tbe work is being done under
the direction of Tbomai Harper, of this
oitv. who believes that the specimens
found here are not less than 1,000 year,
old, and proves tbat they were made
by tbe most ancient people that In
habited this country. The list Includes
a bone implement which Mr. Harper
belives was a flaker, the piece! of
which are separated in five or six
parts. Bone needles or awls also were
found, and Mr. Harper eays tbey can
be partially restored.
A tomahawk, which Mr. Harper re
gardi a being not less than 1,000 years
old, was found. Tbe same kind of
weapon! are also found on the British
isles. It is made of gneiss. He con
siders this an axtraordinary discovery.
The bone implement, or flaker is the
implement which the ancients used in
making flint instrument. The speci
mens will beplaoed in the Caruegie
museum.
Since this mound was opened, a
month ago, sixteen skeletons have been
found, many of them of gigantio
stature.
CALIFORNIA MINES.
Tranavaal Operators I.ookliif Toward
Tbat State.
San Francisco, Aug. 24. If present
indications can be relied upon, tbe re
oeut political troubles in the Trans
vaal, South Africa, are likely to have
a beneficial effect on tbe mining in
dustry in California. As is probably
well known, there bas been an exodu
of mining enigneers from the Trausvaal
during the past few months. Ham
mond, Perkins and many other mining
experts who bave bad a band in the
direction of vast mining enterprises In
the Johannesburg district, bave retired
from the scene of the recent disturb
ances for prudcutial reasons, and are
now In London. MHnyof these gentle
men still retain their South African
connoctious, but, instead of devoting
their attention to Afrioau mining
affairs, they are looking for good in
vestments in other mining sections ot
the world on behalf of the oompaniea
aud corporations they represent. Cali
fornia is attracting not a Braail share of
their attention, and, from what can be
learned from mining engineers now
here, there is a disposition ou the part
of moneyed kings of the Transvaal to
iuvest beavily in mining properties in
this Btate.

' llald-lp and Derailed a Military Trala
! Near Havana.
t Havana, Ang. Il.-Tbe my.tery of
a missing miliary pawenger train,
which wa due ber Iat Buuday, has
been olved, and U furnUbea another
instance of the audaolty of tbe Insur
gent and of tbe troubled Hate of af
fair existing in th provinoe of Pinar
del Rio.
On Sunday lait, train having on
board a number of civilian passenger
and a itrong escort of troops, consist
ing of a regular car and armored oar
for the military esoort, left Couolaoion
del Sur, Pinar del Rio, for thU city,
and bould bave arrived here the same
day, but tbe train did not appear. Tbe
railroad aothoritiei became alarmed
and the military autboritlea were no
tified. Apparently, however, tbe lat
ter were very slow in taking action.
In any case, throughout Monday the
military authoriitee profeed absolute
ignoranoeof the whereabout of tbe
train, although it wa nnderetood that
inquiries of eome description had been
made along tbe line, but without any
definite result.
Tbl failure to obtain tbe nocewary
information caused tbe railroad people
to renew their representation to mili
tary headquarter and eventually on
Tuesday, several exploring parties,
consisting of cavalry oont, reported
having heard heavy firing between
Bacuuaga and Taoou. Tbe latter
town Ii about one-third the distance
between Consolaoion del Sur and Ha
vana, and not far from tbe town of
San Cristobal. Consolaoion del Sur i
ouly a bort distance from Pinar del
Rio, capital of tbe provinoe of tbat
name. Later, the oouta reported tbat
the passenger oosoh, together with the
military cart, had been derailed be
tween Bacnuaga and Tacon, and it
appeared as if severe fighting bad
taken place between the esoort of tbe
train and tbe insurgents who attacked
it Tbii new stirred np tbe military
authorities sufficiently to cause them
to send relief trains loaded with troops
toward the scene.
These forces, consisting of the Ara-
'piles and Baabastro battalions, under
the command of Colonel Arjoua, have
' jnst returned. The troop brought
with them passengers, wbo are over
forty -eight boors late, and tho surviv
ors and wounded of the military esoort
: ot tbe train. Tbe latter, it appears,
i was running between Baounaga and
Tacou, aud when near tbe point knowu
as kilometie 113, the train wa com
pelled to slow up on aooonnt of an ob-
I struciton acroB tbe line. As it did so,
a smart rifle fire was opened npon the
train from both sides ot tbe road, while
a party of insurgents were seen to
march out of concealment behind tbe
: train and place beavy obstruction!
across tbe road. Other insurgent oc
cupied them sole vs actively in remov
ing tbe rail behind the obstruction,
thereby catching tbe military train in
a trap from which it oould neither ad
vance nor retreat
The troop returned the fire of the
insurgents, who kept well under cover,
and whose bullots splintered the glass
of the sides of the coaches. The firing
lasted three hours, according to tbe
official statement At the end of this
time, the insurgents are said to have
beeu repulsed. It is added that the
military escort upon the arrival of tbe
relief train, burned tbe military pas
senger train and returned to tbe city
with the Bubaatro and Arapiles battal
ions. Uu flicial versions ot the affair.bow
ever, claim tbat tbe train was derailed
and subsequently burned by tbe insur
gents aud tbat the oscort of the mili
tary were rescued just in time to save
them from being exterminated by the
enemy. A it was six soldiers of the
escort are admitted to have been killed
and twenty-one soldiers were brought
here wouuded. The lieutenant I ex
pected to die.
Later details confirmed the statement
that it was derailed by the insurgents
who dynamited it, aud afterwards de
stroyed the cars completely.
The defenae made by the esoort is
said to bave lasted prautically three
daya, although it is olaimed the firing
continued all that time.
The insurgents who attacked the
military train were in strong force,
and it developed later today they also
tried to dyuamite the relief train, but
without effect Colonel Arouaja re
ports that in retiring with the resoued
esoort of the traiu, be was attacked by
Antonio Maceo and a force of 6,000 in
surgents. Artillery fire, however, was
opened upon the enemy and tbe latter
retreated. The Spaniards olaim tbe
insurgents did not burn the military
train uutil after the relieving column
of troops had retired.
