WIZARDS RESIGNATION FROM THE
NORTHERN PACIFIC PREDICTED.
CHICAGO, Dec. l9.-[Special. THE
1ribune's St Paul special of December
Is, says; 4 well informed ex-railroad
man of St Paul, says; IL was in New
York this fall, after the return of Willard,
and from friends there in the Northern
Pacific learned that it had been decided
that Willard must step down and out by
the LIST of January, 1884. Drexel, Nor
gan 4 Co., of New York, and Drexel &
Co, of Philadelphia, are and were mimi
cal to him, in the sense that they must
find scapegoat, and he was chosen. You
see that Drexel, Morgan 4 Co. stand in
the same position to the Northern Pacific
that Jay Cooke once did, except in the
important particular that the road is com
pleted and is not bankrupt They s,aked
their reputation, as i, were, on their abil-
ity to make its stock reach par, as you
know, only to see it, to their intense NOR,
tifcation, fall lower and lower, until, to
give round numbers, preferred Northern
Pacific sank to 90, common to % and
Oregon and Transcontircntal, which cost
its possessors So cents in hard cash, went
below 80. Their chagrin was as deep as
it was natural, and as | have said scape-
goat being necessary Willard was selected

Hone KONG, Dec. 20.-The Frencl
have captured the principal outposts o
Sontay, embracing five strongly fortified
villages. The enemy made "a stubborn
resistance French lost POO men and ! 5
officers killed and wounded. Admiral
Courvet, commanding, had 1000 men
1000 engaged in action and the remain
der reserve The Chinese still hold the
fortress Of Son,ay.
The principal fighting occurred on the
river bank Several villages were captur-
ed at the point of the bayonet. The
French advanced within mile of the
citadel, bu, there will probably be very
heavy fighting before they reach the place.
The Chinese lost heavily from shells from
the feet.
LONDON, Dee. pa dispatch from
Hong Kong states that the fight at Son
tay occurred on the 18th. Two outwork.
were captured and the citadel surrounded
by the French.
PARIS, Dec. 29.-The Government
has unofficial adyices confirming the re-
port Of the capture of villages about Son
tay.
CASE OF ABDUCTION.
Last Saturday, a half-breed Indian
went to Five Mile creek, where two half
breed girls were at work and persuaded
them to 90 with him to Warm Springs
reservation to spend the holidays. One
of the girls, whose mother lives in town,
said she would not 90 without consulting
her parent. The halfbrced procured
horses, and the two girls riding one and
he the other proceeded to the city. " hen
near the old graveyard he forced the
girls to strike off in another direction and
took them to cave on Chenoweth creek,
abnot three miles from the city, where he
secreted them. The mother of one of the
girls made complaint to Marshal Beers,
and the brother started in pursuit. On
Wednesday, he overlook them and their
near Mosier's, about seven miles
west Of the city. On the appearance of
the brother, the half-breed took to the
woods and has not been seen since. The
girls state that they were guarded by an
Indian, and had nothing to eat from
Saturday night until Monday night, and
that when overtaken by the brother the
half-breed was taking them to the Cas-
cades. The authorities are on the lookout
for this miscreant, and if found he will
be punished to the full extent Of the law.

The Manufacture Of Beads.

Beads are largely made iE. Venice.
where glass-making has always been a
principal industry 1t is said that the
invention of beads dates from the thir.
teanth century. and is due to two We.
ny;iaus. M!otti and Imhrianj, who
were urged to make experiments by
the celebrated Venetian traveller,
Marco Polo Under the Venetian Re.
public, and for some years after its fall
says our consul at Venice. the eXporta.
tion Of beads had not reached the i'm.
portance it has now attained. This
was perhaps owing to the smallness Of
the furnaces and 20 the difficulty and
length of the technical processes re-
quireI for the composition OF the paste
The Moreili. however, who in 1916
were the principal bead manufacturers
had four ships at sea carrying beads &c
the east on their own account, and they
became SO rich that in 1866 they on
tered the rank Of the Venetian nobili
ty on payment Of sum Of 100000
ducats to the republic. Since 1915
this industry has become so important
rs to give at the present time employ.
ment 10 about $1,000 persons. The
traffic is carried on with all the world,
but the principal expectation Of beads
is to the ports of Asia and Africa An
extraordinary stimulus was given to
this industry few years ago by the
prevailing taste of beads for trimming
ladies dresses. A great extension Of
the manufacture took place. and the
labor was paid so high that all who
could do so gave up their usual trades
