LONELY MOUNDS AT PCNT BARROW,
Vhtf Hark tb Antiquity of ft Nnttre Race
but Do Not TeU Xta Story.
Point Barrow, Alaska, the northern
most point of land of the North Ameri
can continent, has some interesting
graveyards of its own. About 11 years
ago Lieutenant Ray, in his report of
the polar expedition to Point Barrow,
recorded that in digging a shaft 26 feet
below the earth's - surface to obtain
earth temperatures he found a pair of
wooden goggles, pointing to tho great
lapse of time since these shores were
first peoplod. The Alaska Mining Rec
ord says that this country was undoubt
edly inhabited long before Columbus
discovered America. Of the 'origin or
descent of the7 inhabitants no definite
trace has been found, and there are no
records of the past among the people
who now live , there. Their language
abounds in legends, but none gives any
data by which to Judge how long theso
desolate shores nave been inhabited.
The ruins ot ancient villages and
winter huts along the seashore and in
the interior show that the country, has
been inhabited for centuries. There are
mounds at Point Barrow marking the
site of three huts dating back to the
time when the natives had no iron and
the men "talked like dog." These
mounds stand in the middle of a marsh,
and the sinking of the land caused the
Bite to be flooded and abandoned. ( The
inhabitants in times post have followed
the receding line, of ice which atone
time capped the northern part of this
continent and have moved along the
easiest line of travel. This is shown in
the general distribution, of a similiar
people, speaking a similar tongue, from
Greenland to Bering strait. The dis
tribution of the race today marks the
routes traveled. The seashore led them
along the coasts of Labrador and Green
land Hudson bay and. its tributary
'waters. They came down the. Yukon, so
rich in minerals, to people the shores of
that stream and the interior of Alaska,
and traveled along the coast to Cape
Prince of Wales. To this day they, use
dogs instead of deer, the. natives of
North America having never domesti
cated the reindeer,-and they speakr a
different tongue from their neighbors
across the strait in Siberia.
Some writers on the subject have ad
vanced the theory that the natives of
Alaska are descendants of the race of
people that Cortes drove out of Mexico,
others that they are Japanese or Chinese
in origin, and, others still that they
came to this country across the strait
from Siberia So far as definite infor
mation is concerned, one guess is as
good as '.another. The lonely mounds
at Point Barrow mark the antiquity of
the race, but they do not tell its story.

not much wonder that the ignorant and

there is no excuse yet for this idiosyn
crasy of thinking people at least, no

Hot August Sub Florida Snake Sharps
Astounded at the Deed. 1
I was once on a gunning trip during
the month of August in the hammocks
along the lower St Johns river. I came
to a hotel on the river bank that wan
keeping open for the little Tausiness
brought to it by the river traffic. Back
of the hotel was a fringe of pines, and
beyond the pines was a reach of barren
country coveied with a growth of blue
palmetto and gallberry. ! I
"Among the persons staying at the
hotel were two young men whose in
terest in the region centered in those
things which pertained to natural his
tory. Both were well dressed. Their
hands were white and smooth. In town
they might have been taken for bank
tellers. One morning, before the sun
had taken the chill out of the air. one
of these guests, in a pair of rather gen
teel top boots, wandered for a consider-.
able distance through the low palmetto
scrub. In bis path he found a rattle
snake twice as long as the orange wood
stick with .which he walked.
"The chill of the night air was still
in the marrow of the reptile, and it was
an easy matter for the young naturalist
to clutch the snake just back of his jaws ,
and hold him in a firm grasp with the
thumb and. circling ' forefinger of the
right hand. Carefully lifting the body
of the snake with the left hand the nat
uralist started for the hotel with: his
greatly valued prize, carrying his orange
wood cane under his left arm. L j i -
"There is nothing else that so warms
the cockles of a rattlesnake's heart as
the vertical rays of the sun, and before
the young naturalist had made half the
journey to the hotel, the captive snake
had managed, unobserved, to twist his
tail about his captor's thigh. . Thus an
chored, he gave an - ablebodied pull,
which was the naturalist's first intima
tion that the snake was putting off his
sluggishness. V With his left hand the
man was about to unwind the coil from
his thigh, but he found that if he let go.
tho snake at its middle the muscle of
the reptile would be too much for ; the
right hand grasp at its throat, which
was the only safeguard against a stroke
from its deadly fangs. So he tightened
his grasp upon the neck and, quickened
his pace toward the hoteL I
"The sun mounted toward the zenith
and his rays became "warmer. They
gave strength and quickness to the cap
tive reptile, Instead of a steady draw
from the tightening coil around the
man's thigh came a series of angry
writhings which severely tested the
strength in the bands and arms unused
to endurance. With each convulsion a
change in the tint reflected from the
monster's scales ran like a thrill from
its head to its tail, and then came the
warning rattle that nobody has to hear
a second time in order that he may.
know its meaning. The flag on the
cupola of tho hotel hung limp in the
Mzy distance. The orange wood stick
bad fallen from beneath the arm of the
young naturalist. - A -numbness was
taking possession of the muscles in his
arms and wrists. He knew what that
meant Meanwhile the diamond marked
reptile was Warming up for the strug
gle. . His eyes from pits of molten lead
had become deep set diamonds. ! His
angry writhings were fearful to see. He
was venom incarnate. I . i
"It was looking exceedingly serious,
not to say desperate, for the young nat
uralist Cheerfully would he have put
aside his enthusiasm in the cause of
science and cast the reptile from him,
but that he could not do.' The rattler's
tail was coiled tightly: about his leg,
and if the man had loosed his hold upon
the neck and middle of; the reptile its
fangs would have made their deadly
mark upon him while yet the coil was
unbroken. His life depended upon his
reaching the hotel before the strength
in his arms gave out, and how much
strength he had left he knew not, for
the numbness in them bad driven out
the sense of feeling. Again he quick
ened his pace. U
"It must have seemed an endless jour
ney to the young naturalist as he hurried
along, his eyes fixed upon the writhing
monster, except when they were raised
for an instant to glance at the flag hang
ing above the hotel ; but at last be -was
within the grounds. His friend rushed
forward from the little group on the
veranda, but turned and ran back when
be saw the look on the young natu
ralist's face. In a moment he appeared
with a strong cord and a cane, which
he had caught up in the hallway.
While he was tying a Blip noose in the
cord neither of the men spoke, but it
was easy to see that both knew there
was no time to waste. ; - !
"As the noose wad; slipped over the'
reptile's head and tightened by means
of the cane a convulsion stronger than
any that had preceded it drew together
the benumbed hands which held the
writhing creature, and they yielded to
the force that .drew them toward the
coil, which " now twice encircled the
man's thigh. ; ! "
" 'I ve got him,' said the man who
held the noose, j f ". ; j ' i' .
" 'Well, kindly untwist his tail. My
bands are a trifle tired,' said the other.
"This service was done quickly, and
the two young naturaUsts went to their
rooms with their captive. ' . ''
"Among those who had stood speech
less while, these things were going on
was Rattlesnake f Bob, a local snake ex
pert from up the creek. As the young
men disappeared he said, without shut
ting hisi mouth : i I H
" 'Waal, I'll be if them dudes
hain't got grit!'; i
" Yes, said one of the guests.

this afternoon, it bavins been made plain
to the mdnaeers, on-, the nart of the
Home that the House resolutions could
not pass the Senate. It is believed that
ultimately the House will accept the
Senate resolutions. The conferees bone
to settle tbe matter finally to-morrow.
Senator Lodge, who is a member of the
Conference, left' here this evening' for
Boston and will not return until Monday
next. -:- -
When the matter of acceotinsr the
Senate resolutions was being discussed
one member of the .committee took the
ground that this Government had no
right to ask. another Government to
recognize tbe independence of one of its
colonies which was in insurrection, and
it was insisted that this would be a
casus belli. q answer to this it was
shown that when the Cubans were in
insurrection before, our minister to,.
Spain, Gen. Dan. Sicke's. was Instructed.
to exercise his good offices to secure
such a recognition at the hands of Spain,
and that at that time Spam took no
offence at the action. "
Everything considered.' there' aoDears
to be a desire to accept the Senate reso
lutions- ana it this- is done, there
is to doubt: but that the: House
would agree to such a report. The
condition of aff sirs in the Senate was
discussed this afternoon very frankly. Ii
was made plain that there was a small
minority, headed bv Senator Hale, that
did hot propose to permit tbe Cuban
resolutions to ever come to a vote if
tbey could prevent it. In fact tbe Com
mittee on Foreign Relations bad been
warned that a quiet but tffective system
ot hlibusterinK had been lnuueurated
With a view "to preventing a vote on the
question in tbe Senate. For this reason
the House conferees were urged to
accept the Senate resolutions, which
would remove tbe debate from tne
Senate to tbe House; where the filibus
tering could not under tbe rules be en
gaged in, . It is believed to be the most
probable outcome ol the conference and
it would not surprise tbe members of the
House, to-morrow it the House managers
receded from the House resolutions and
accepted those originally passed .by the
Senate.
SPOTS AND FUTUKES ;
The New York Sun's Review of the Cotton
' n Market. -By
Telegraph to the Morning Star. '
New YORK. March 25. The Sun says
Cotton declined eight to nine points on
the near months and four to five on the
later. The close waseuiet, with sales
of 184,000 bales.
To-day's features: : Tbe small spot
sales in Liverpool, lower prices there for
futures, improved weather conditions at
tbe South, selling for Liverpool, South
ern and Oermanv account, tbe failure of
a large dry goods house at. Galveston,
tbe du lnrss of the speculation here and
at New Orleans, weaker spot markets
and adverse reports from Fall River and
Providence, all combined to depress
prices here. Reports of immense sales
of fertilizers were received from Charles
ton. The new crop months showed the
most weakness. Shorts covered to
some extent and those buying were the
onlv supporters the market received
Greek booses bought. :

When she was a Child, she cried for Castorfa.
