A Desperate Suicides,

CHICAGO, March 7.-Frank Rand.
a desperate, who made an attempt
on the life Of Deputy Mcdonald last
Saturday night at Joliet prison and
who was placed in solitary confine-
ment, succeeded in ending his lite bv
hanging himself last night. Rand's
real name is Charles G. Scott. He
killed no less than five men in 1877.
and Is supposed to have murdered
Ii men In Indiana, Illinois and Mis-
souri,. He was originally sentenced
to the Iowa penitentiary for burglary
and escaped, and fearing arrest he
became q tramp. He was afterwards
sent to Michigan City prison for bur-
glary under another name and left
there ia 1877. He robbed a farmer
near ellison, ILL.,, and on being pur-
sued by a party of six, killed two
and wounded the others. He coul-
mitted almost q similar robbery near
st. Films, III and being followed by
citizens he killed three of the latter
and escaped. He was finally cap
tured in st. Louis after a desperate
struggle with the officers, and on his
trial for the ellison tragedy escaped
WITH a life sentence. His prison life
has been marked with thre. or four
acts of desperation similar to that of
last Saturday night. He used his
underclothing to effect his death, his
!llfeless body was discovered on OPEN
ing the solitay cell this morning.

THE DRAIN OF o L

MOnometallists are laying a great
deal of stress upon the fact that sew
eral large shipments of gold from
New York to European ports have
been recently made and take the oc-
casiOn to enter into q fresh crusade
against the continued coinage of sill
yer. The fact is the present agitation
is traceable, at least in part, to Wall
street spectators who are we'll aware
of the depressing effect of a scare on
questions relating to the currency of
the country. Within the past ten
days only about $4,000, 900 have been
withdrawn from the sub-treasury of
that city, but, according to a New
York paper less than one-fourth of
this amount has been exported. The
shipments are a mere bagatelle when
it is considered that during the first
half of the current fiscal year the
gold supply of the United States was
increased SIS, 0OO, 900 from production
and from other sources; that the
present gold supply in this country is
over $3.50, 900 900 in coin and bullion.
or nearly double the amount held
prior to the last suspension of specie
payments. and that even if $o25,,OW,-
600 more gold were withdrawn for tx
port it would still leave the treasury
with a larger gold reserve than it had
at this time last year.

LONDON, March 7.-Advices from

that Bismarck informed the Italian
ambassador at Berlin that friendly
arrangements have been made With
Russia. but not q treaty, and that re.
cent pour parlers were limited to the
restoration of cordial relations be-
tween the Emperor and the Gear.
Organized action of England and
powers against Anarch-
lists and dynamiters was agreed upon
without special treaty. The police
department was instructed to Coop
crate. The Swiss government has
ordered the arrest of q number of
anarchists at Rerne and the search
of domictles. Of suspected persons and
OF the workingmen's society at
Borne. The Swiss police arrested u
Herman anarchist named Rennell.
They. sent information to Vienna
which led to the seizure jaf Kam-

THE o PISTOL.

The press Of the country should be
credited with squelching the toy
pistol and for directing the attention
of legislators to the necessity of maxi
ing a law against their sale. This
has been done in several States. But
Utah is the first Territory which has
taken the matter in hand. In
speaking of it the Salt Lake Herald
of recent date says: The bill formu-
lated and presented by Hon. H. J.
Richards, of the Legislative Council
prohibiting the sale of toy pistols,
was the first measure produced by
the present Assembly to become a law,
being the first to 60 to the Governor
and receive his signature. In view
of the number of deaths of children
that have been produced in the COM
muity by the dangerous article the
sale of which is now prohibited, his
Excellency expressed his pleasure at
such a law having been enacted.
The bill passed both Houses al
most without an attempt at dissent,
the only objection coming from one
member, who expressed himself to
the effect that he considered the SUBJ
ject too triling for legislative action.
Another member answered the Oh
lection by stating in effect that he
did not see anything trifling about
circumstances resulting from the use
Of the toy pistol, a number of fam
lies having been plunged into the
deepest sorrow in consequence of
members of their domestic circles
succumbing to the hand of death
through the agency of this mis-
'hievous little implement.
The answer to the objection was
BASED on stubborn facts, quite a mum.
Der of untime]y deaths from injuries !
'eceived by the handling of toy pis.

llbition OF the sale of the little i'm
element OF evil has been passed and

STEEL CRUISERS,

If the bill now before the Senate
become a law, the number of steel
cruisers to be built will be seven.
Nothing Is said in the bill as to the
rate of speed which must be required.
The Mail and Express says it is pre-
dicted by experts that the three steel
cruisers now in process of construc-
ton will be almost worthless, because
they will not be able to withstand as
sault or to fly from an enemy. Con-
gress has appropriated $685., 600, 900 for
the navy since the war, and yet the
government has not one respectable
war vessel. 1t Is time for q halt in
the expenditure of millions on
worthless hu!ks. If u ship is to be
built for battle let it be made more
powerful than any man-of.war nov
af5oat, and If it is to be built as a
cruiser let it be the swiftes, craft on
the water. Congress ought to fix a
minimum rate OF speed for the new
steel cruisers, and certainly it ought
not to be less than twenty-five knots
hour.

said which had been introduced by
Beck who supposed he was acting for
Williams and Williams had been
rated as having introduced it. He
(Williams) knew nothing whatever
of such a bill and disclaimed all re-
sponsibility for it.
Beck explained he had introduced
the bill for his colleague as he sur
posed. A young gentleman came in
looking for Williams and saying that
q Senator had agreed to introduce
the bill in Williams a ,sence Beck
had introduced it but now found
there were provisions in it for which
neither he nor his colleague would
consent to be responsio He sup

The committee was discharged from
further consideration of the bill.
The Senate passed the bill reported
by Garland from the Committee on
Judiciary to constitute the majority
OF the judges of the Supreme Court
of the u. s. to be a quorum
OF the court instead of six judges as
heretofore. The bill also prohib,ts
judges who heard a case at the circuit

When the present Chinese restric-
ton bill was passed it was in the
face of a howl of protests from
many of the principal cities of the
North and East. New England es-
pecially opposed it in every stage Of
its ploceeding before Congress.
Even workingmen in the East
were not fully alive to the impor-
tance of the measure. But an ex-
perience of q year or two with the
heather has worked q rmarkable
change in the laborer's mind. tt e
bill is faulty and efforts are being
made by the California delegates to
amend it. While these amendments
are being considered protests against
their passage have not been made to
Congress. On the contrary we are
told by q late dispatch that petition
after petition IS being received by
the committee having the bill in
charge, praying for its passage. It
says that Geddes presented one from
the citizens of Mansfield, RlchlaRd
county, Ohio, the home of Senator
John Sherman /; Mitchell presented
one from Middleton, Connecticut,
and Mabury one from Detroit, Mich
igan. This number makes about
twenty-five petitions presented IN
the same subject, all emanating from
the lodges of Knight of Labor
in the East. They are printed
and the three which came
In from California contained
hundred names. The printed
part of these petitions reads as fol-
lows: I'VE call upon you in the
name of the intelligent wage-workers
of the United States to enact such
amendments to the Chinese restric-
ton act as are satisfactory 10 the Pa-
cific Coast delegates in Congress. We
call your attention to the fact that
the Chinese restriction act as passed

men, residents or Travellers. We de-
nand, therefore, in the name of the
