I... THE DALAI LAMA. Tho Office Only 250 Yoara Old and <. Early Under Ctfinese Control. An article by '? v 1a A. WadUoll on "Tho Grand Lamas of Ttbatf In the ourrcnt number of the Royal Aefoctlc Society's Journal, la full of Interest at the present time. Jn It ho gives a translation of t.ho docreo of the Chlnoao Emperor Ohlo-ohlng, which la Inscribed oa four atone tablets "at tho left aide of the door of the great JoKan temple" of Lhasa, and which la dated as late as 1808. In this the regulations for the appointment of tho Dalai Lama are set out, together with a kind of history of the Institution, which loaves It clear that tho Institution Is not oarllor than 1640, and was tho invention of the prlest-klng Jx>-bzan Gya-intso, chief abbot of tho "Yellow-bat Lamas, after bo had seized the temporal sovereignty at about that dato. The dual arrangement by which on? Grand Lama reigns at Tashl-lhunpo in western Tibet as the Tashi Uim.i, without infringing tbe supremacy of the Oalai Lama of Lhasa, se^ms to have 'been ?n tho first Instance an artifice practised by th? samo priest I^cb'/an, who apix>lnted his tutor, the abbot of the Ghldan monastery near Lhnsa, the frst Tashi I/ima, while rv?iTving me reui neausn.ip or TJie State for hinjsolf and forging, like some oilier parvenus, a kind of pedigree for tho Institution, whereby it appeared that he was the fifth Dalai I/ama. Instead of, as was the fact, the (IrBt. Til's decree als/> makes it plain that the Chinese eariy Interfered in the working of the ?jection and insisted upon what was railed the "Ordeal of the Golden Urn,1 which really meant tho. drawing of lots for the office in the presence of the Chinese Amban or Resident, who manipulated the whole affair. It was time, for the second, third and fourth iDalai Lamas, sermi from the decree to have been most disreputable people, while tho death of the first was successfully concealed for eighteen years. Dr. "Waddell also tells us that the Dalai I.amas is supposed t.o bo th<? inclination not, ar. is sometimes said, of Buddha himself but of Avalokitn, "the Compassionate Ix>rd" or "God of jwoncv, me moBL popular or au mo Buddhist divinities.?From tho A thenoeum.

"Wo havo received a copy of the re- i po'A by the Senate Committee on i Agrlculturo recommending the enact- j ment of Senate Bill No. G931, provid- j Itig for an appropriation of $500,000 for the extension of the work of the j U. S. Omco of Public Roads in aiding in the improvement of the public ! highways. Senator J. H. Bankhead, of Alabama, in his speech on the bill ! said: The national Governments of all the principal nations of the world except the United States actively aid and encourage the building and maintenance of public roads. France has tho most superb system of roads in the world, completed at a total cost of $012,775,000. The effect of these roads upon the material prosperity of i the French people is indicated in tho i rouowing extract from a report by Francis It. Loomis, commercial agent at St. Etienne, France, dated April 23. 1891: "The road system of France lias been of far greater value, to the couti- | try as a means of raising the value of 1 lands and of putting the small peasant proprietors in easy communication with their markets than have tho ,railways. It is the opinion of wellinformed Frenchmen who have made a practical study of economic prob- ! letns that the superb roads of Franco | have been one of the most steady and \ potent contributions to the material I development and marvelous financial elasticity of tho country. The farreaching and splendidly maintained road system has distinctly favored the success of the small landed proprietors, and in their prosperity and j in tho ensuing distribution of wealth I lies the key to the secret of the won- | derful vitality and solid prosperity of the French nation." As a result of the improved con (lition of the roads in these countries, their farmers haul produce to market at an average cost of only ten cents per ton per mile, and in Eome cases it is as low as seven i cents; while, as a result of the bad conditions of American roads, our farmers are forced to pay an average expense of twenty-three cents per ; ton per mile on every ton of produco I hauled to market or shipping point. ?Indiana Farmer. Improving the Roads. Of New York State's SO,000 miles of public highways, running through her 30,47 0,800 acres, 3000 are State roads, maintained by the State. The | remainder are under the care of conn- j ty or town. On January 1, 190'J, when the new State Highway Commission was created, there were prac ticaiiy 2000 miles of highway macad- j amized; now 2-100 miles are Improved. This year the commission hopes to increase the miles improved by perhaps j f>00, and to increase each year until the total per year will amount to 800 { or 1000 miles. Thus far this year 120 contracts j for improved roads have been let by the commission, and more contracts will be awarded. This will be the last until fall or winter, enabling the successful bidders to get ready for work early next spring. Under the law some work must be done In all counties whoso roads are to be improved at the same time. Tho 120 contracts awarded this year call for the building of 130 miles of highway, at a total cost of $6,600,000. Of this total the State will pay about $ 1,500,000 and tho counties and towns the remainder. Of tho work contracted for 158 miles are State trunk lines and about 272 miles county roads. The State pays tho entire cost of tho trunx lines, while the State, county and towns sharo the cost of tho county roads. The contracts to he awarded will amount to about $500, 000, bringing the total outlay for the seaboii to more than $6,000,000. The trunk lines will traverse tho State from east to west and from south to north. One trunk line will run from New York City to Plattsburg, on Lake Champlain. From Plattsburg the trunk line will proceed westerly through Ogdensburg, Watertown and Oswego to 'Syracuse, whore it will join the main artery, extending through the centre of tho State from Albany to Buffalo. This central artery will pass through Amsterdam, Utica, Syracuse and Rochester. A third east and west trunk lino will run through tho southern tier of counties, and will pass through the cities of Ringhamton, Elmira, Corning, Olean and Jamestown. There will be several trunksextendlng north and south, which will connect tho trunks along the southern tier with that from Albany to Ruffalo.?New York Times. Three Telegrams. I. Blue Haven, May 3d.
