Washington, Jan. 18.—Private letters received here from American travelers in 1 Afia, whose names formerly stood very prominently in official and domestic circles in Washington, make mention of the carious fact that the Turkish authorities satmtto have suppressed all extended nientloa of the destruction of one of the most noted edifices in Asia, the great mosque of Damascus, though that event occurred many weeks ago. No particulars have ixlU given, though the destruction of property in connection with the burning of the mosque, must have been great. The fire removed one of the moet noted battdlngs in the world, whose site is In ouftre of assrotations extending back into tkotnteta of antiquity, which was one of tbfl principal point* of interest in a city fufl of hiatorioai attraction*. The great mosque stood near the castle, occupying a quadrangle MB yards long by MM wide. Along the north side was an tips* court surrounded by cloisters rest! ng onMllars of granite, marble and Ilmestom The mosque itaslf extended along the whole southern side, and its interior were 431 by 13S feet. In the oentyr was a dome resting on four massive'piers. Underneath was a cave in whiqh the head of John tfc# Baptist, was said lobe preserved* in a golden casket. The mosque had these minarets, one of which was 25 feet high, and upon it, accordhig to Moslem traditions, Jesus wntt to hape descended on the day of judgement.>togg. street Turner hall, sta meeting called In the lnteteat of the sodaltatto labor party, made the following reference to the reported purpose of the police to peeve** a parade of the unemployed. "I will not be Intimidated by theasnten. I demand from them the respect to wMeh as a law-abiding American cittaan I am entitled. I demand for thla movement the courtesy that is due it And if +ny lawlessness arises you will not find any more active to suppress it than we. The working people of this city have never yet failed to contribute liberally to whatever is for the glory or benefit of this City. I have some iloubt whether, In this year of grace 1894,1 have a right to be here and speak. If It were In 1T761 would have no doubt, because tha founders of that government recognized that it was neccssary for the people to come Into direct contact with the exercise of government and take a personal part in it- through the town meeting. But now power has drifted into the hands of a few, some of them placed in power by the express or implied will of the people. It is considered a crime if the meeting Is called onteide of authority, outside of the power of those in authority to absolutely control it. It is the signal to unlimber the gatllng guns, cause the militia to be held in readiness, and the police reserves to beconoentrated at the stations. We are vilified and without the means to reply. Tke public mind is being prepared to discount any acta of lawlessness which the vieiousness of individuals or the lad of aelf-control of hungry men may commit. We are to be held responsible for anything that may happen, whether there Is any logical connection between our acta and those complained of or net." -  The old year that has just gone, or ended, will go down-on the annals of history something like the Plagues of Egypt when that country was infested with frogs. Everybody now living will always remember 1893. And they will doubtless Ipok back with pride at the brave acts of his "Royal Highness" ' Qrover Cleveland and Senator Peffer and his "whiskers," how manfully that law making body fished fought for the freedom of this glorious republic.- However—Clothing, Clothing ! That's what we . an trying to do—to clothe all the people of the earth. Of course we are not getting it done, but we still clothe as many as we can.

Authorities have thought it highly probable that wis was the site of the temple of Rimmon, mentioned in 8econd Kings, v., 18, and that it became in aftertimo the sent of the worship of Jupiter.

Georgetown, Col., Jan. 15.—One of the molt remarkable strikes of rich ore ever discovered in Clear Creek county was omIi laat week in the Independent mine in Eaat Argentine district. A six-inch vein of aylvanite waa found at a depth of over one hundred feet and an assay shows it to contain 7,683 ounces of gold and 3,199 ounce* of silver to the ton. A qualitative test proved the remaining substance to be tellurium. The owners have already sacked up several hundred pounds of material and from all appearances they are only on the edge of an immense pocket, aft it extends into the unopen ground on either side of the shaft and also along the bottom of the nhdft, varying in width from four to seven inches.

The protection given to the public health and the increased value to the dairy products of the state by the careful work now being done to discover and eradicate consumption in cattle will prove of the greatest value.
