Fnirland t* shout to restore to the L'nltoC
fitates what should be as one of
It* most sacred muniments. It ts the
manuscript, "ll'.stery of the Pllm.'Uth
I'lanuUcij. Containing an Account ot the
Voyage of the Mayflower. Wrl'ten by Will
iam Bradferd. One of U» Founder ano Bec
end Oovarnar.** the famous docum-nt
which was discovered la London in 1M«
Trie work ia of several hundred panes and
• over* the hietory of the Plymouth colony
froni 16QC to V&Vi. with annotations and
several additions made later. One of
these notes la to the effect that
there were "twelf persons living
of the old stook this present year,
1*79," and below this is written: "Two
persona living that came over in the flr*t
ship*. 1639, the present year, law." How
the manuscript got to London la not known,
but It la supposed to have been taken from
Prince'* New Eng.and library, in the old
tiouth church. Boston, during the revolu
tion.
This seems very protable, because the
manuscript was found at Falham palate,
the Episcopal residence of the bishop of
dLondun. and before the declaration of In
dependence the American colonies formed
part of that diocese. The Jealousy with
which the English regard all ancient reUcs
hss made the authorities very reluctant to
part with It. but the chancellor of the
diocese, Dr. Thomas H. Tristram, put the
matter ao gracefully that public aenilment
has cordially lndoraed his action. He sail
that It contained the only known log of the
Mayflower, and ts a register of birth*,
marriages and dee tha; therefore. It con
cerns the property of the descendants of
the pilgrims. Their Interests must be safe
guarded and the court would follow the
custom prevailing when a n«w diocese Is
offset from an old one, in which case the
registers are transferred The precious
manuscript will accordingly be sent to the
president of the United Ststes.
The incident revives memories of simi
lar acts of international comity, one of
which was executed by this country. The
Philadelphia library in 18«57 restored five
manuscript volumes which formerly be
longed to the archives of England, and the
Master of the Rolls, formally expressed the
thanks of En«lund. In IMS, Eng.aud gave
to France the will of Napoleon L, which
was found at fit. Helena.
This country has suffered very much
1 >sa of reltca and records of the ear'.y days,
due to the unsettled condition of the coun
trjr sad to the fact that ao many officials
of the colon!** were Kng'lsh appointee*,
who took many of them ba'k to be de
posited with the appointing power. Fo far
as the original log of the Jda>tl»w«r is
concerned, !t is not known to be In exist
ence. There were several ships of that
» .tais in ofhomtaaioa. aud tha particular
iliirfosw has never bren Identified.
This mark of friend ir.ess on the part of
the Kngtlsh authorities !s very significant
Tha English government stands consider
abia money in procuring just such t-eas
uree. and tha British has one of
the most prlceVss collections In tha world.

country, and It will have a conspicuous

FAKCIFI L SOIKXt K.
A new claimant for public atterjlion has
appeared In the person of a Professor
ililake, who propose* to demonstrate two
very Important scientific theories. He says
that g<4d can be extracted from the sea
and that the Ethiopian can change hi*
•kin. Ths professor has not divulg d tba
process, but he volunteers the information
that It can be done by electrolytic dlsso- ta-
tlon. He aay# it Is an ascertained fact tiiat
taa waters of the sea contain 100 ton* of
pure gold to the cubic mile, wnlch can
be extracted by his method.
It is well known that the waters of the
ocean contain floating gold, at least in the
n*t«rtt>orlt»o<! of rivers flow-in« from aurif
erous mountains, but It has always proved
*j sri-anaive to gather in th« precious rn* tal
that the work has long blnce been aban
don »<1 as a hopeless task.
This would be a trifling matter, however,
to the professor, who is satisfied that he
can make a negro white, when his ;>lans are
perfected. He says the color of the Airtcan
is merely a layer of carbon pigments or
atoms which He under the epidermis ard
can. by the advanced theory of electrolytic
dissociation, be materially transformed.
Ilia hypothesis Is that every molecule con
sists of two or more atoms which respect
ively contain ai balancing positive and nega
tive attraction for each other. If a body
of molecules be subjected to an electrical
current the atoms will s«ek their opposite
poles and there deposit their substance,
whtoh is. if the sol ution of red clay is used,
aluminum.
It will be sew that there remains much
to be done. There Is yet a fear that the
*!:*rnpt at electrolytic dissociation might
n«*ed such a powerful voltage that the sub
ject ml# T ht turn white fivm fear without
w.iHlng for the dlesonUtton. or that he
might be so entirely dissociated that his
body and soul might part company. The
professor ought to be persuaded to beam
h;i experiments on a Chinaman. In whom
the carbon pigments are so much less «n
--phatlo that a lighter shock would probably
snlT.ce.
So fsr as this part of the continent Is
concerned the Cascades afford a betier
field for securing g ,4 than the Pacific

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Spe~ a! to the PV*t-In:e:!ig«neer.
WASHINGTON, March 2*-lt has been
teiegT*pheu a.i over t .e country how n» ar
Secretary Bliss of the interior department
< ui« to oeteg deceived and led into decid
ing the taoiwus Chioago isks front case,
wiich involves property vaiued at several
m.livoos ot dollars almost before hs had
discovered what the interior department
looked like, but ths details are excaediag.y
ln*erestir.g.
It the first day that Mr. Bliss had
•pern at the interior department and the
retiring secretary, Mr. Francis, was with
him, exposing all he couai a»out the
routine of the department.
A tetepheme message came asking if the
secretary of the interior couid see his old
friend Gen. B-ank for a few momenta. Mr.
Bliss sent bavk word that he wouid be very
g-ad to see the gvr.eral at any t.me an l a
few moments later this oid friend, who
proved to be one of the best known attor
neys practicing before the interior depart
ment, came ;mo the secretary's private
office.
The secretary took h*s old frier.d into a
Httle room adjoining the office and a few
moments later csme out with a little paper
In his hand wt. ch he was about to s gn,
but upon second thought handed over to
Mr. Francis.
"This," said Mr. Bliss, "is an order
which my o»d friend Gen. Blank, asks me
to sign, lie says it is purely a matter of
routine."
"It is purely a matter of routine." said
ex-Seere-ary Francis, as he carefully pe
rused the paper in question. "But," he
continued, "if you put your name to that
paper, you will have confirmed the order
which was recently made by Secretary
I.amojvaux and which I prevented fr «m
being promulgated until further Inquiry
could be male. U"hie simple little matter
of routine which your friend Gen. Blank
asks you to fix up as a favor for him
merely disposes of a few million dollars'
worth of government iand bordering on
Lake Michigan in the city of Chicago."
Secretary Bliss had grown, red in the
face when Mr. Francis first began to talk.
By the time he had finished he was as
white as a fhoet. He said nothing to Sec
retary Francis, but after a moment turned
and went Into the adjoining room where
his "old friend" wa« awaiting him. It was
scarcely half a minute later when Gen.
Blank passed out. seemingly in a very
great hurry, for he did not even stop to
sey good by. Mr. Bliss came back to his
desdt and mopped h.s brow as he sank into
his seat.
"Whew " said he addressing himself to
Mr. Francis, "that was a narrow escape."
Notwithstanding this little experience. It
was only two or three days later when
Secretary Blirs came very near being bun
coed aaain. This time It was in a case
concerning which the state of Washing
ton is interest* <1 to the extent of about
one million of doF.ara It has been known
for some time in the department that on«
of the attorneys of the department who
has had charge of the famous Mcßride
case, which is a claim for school section 18,
adjoining the city of Taeoma, on the
ground that It Is mineral land, had written
up a decision aga.nst the state of Wash
ington and awarding this claim to Mc-
Bride.
Secretary Hoke Smith refused to sign
this decision and It was lying upon his
desk when his successor. Mr. Franrls. was
appointed. The latter is very much of a
business man and w"hen he discovered that
there wa« something pending, to whli-h
his predecessor did not desire to affix his
official signature, he himself was very
careful not to do «K>. So the matter has
remained unsettled until the present time.
The same game, however, which was tried
in the case of the Chicago lake front mat
ter was tried In the Mcßride ca-?e. This
time Secretary Bliss did not have Mr.
Francis to warn him. and It Is claimed
that iie actually signed the order, but if
<shat be true ir was never promulgated.
Before the final »tens were taken, some
one about the department had given him a
pointer and further action was lmmed.ate
ly suspended.
Representative Jon«*. who. as attorney
general for the sta'e of Washington, has
mastered all tfoe intricacies of this case,
will still c ntlrue to represent the stn'e
in the matter. Since his arrival In Wash
ington he has asked the new secretary for
a rehearine In the matter and feel 9 quite
confident that some further argument will
t>e allowed before the case is finally de
cided upon the existing records. The testi
mony which has already been tnken in tiie
case would till several large volumes.
"To the victors belong the spoils" Is
again exemplified* !n a way not at a!!

of Washington who have been employes
