BANKs AVID SPECULATION.

The furry in Wall Street ought to
convince the bankers of the country
tnat the officers of banks should be re-
quired to devote their whole enerpy to
their banks, abstaining not only from
speculations but from all outside bust
ness. 1t will increase confidence in
any bank for its directors to announce
that such requirement. has been
adopted, and an agency for the detec-
ton OF violations of the rule might
wisely be established by the banks
hus renouncing participation in spec
uiatlve enterprises of every kind.
Suspicious circumstances secretly com
municated to the agency would enable
its detectives to ascertain whether
officers of the banks in cooperation are
engaged in speculation clandestinely,
aud at a trifiing cost protection from
the practices most productive of defal-
cations in banks might be secured, It
is possible to organize banks whose
officers, including the directors, shall
have no outside business whatsoever.
and although the salary List would be
large for a staff Of worthy men to re-
strict themselves to the business of the
bank, an institution conducted on that
plan would obtain sufficient. public
favor to enable it to pay higher salaries
than tho banks which are managed by
speculators.

TIE CONGO COUNTRY

Prince Bismarck is proceeding in the
Congo business more methodically than
our department of state. Instead of
recognizing the international Associa-
tlon OF the Congo, body which has no
diplomatic or representative existence,
he notifies England and Portugal that
he wiu'n recognize the Anglo-Portu-
guesc treaty as controlling German
subjects; and has also entered into cor
respondence with other nations with
the view of securing an international
compact for the regulation of the COM
mercial interests Of the Congo. The
international Association of the Congo
claims to have organized as free states
certain districts of the Congo valley.
which are alleged to guarantee free
trade to the nations which recognize
their flag, and to permit the citizens of
such nations to buy land and establish
factories and trading stations; but this
anomalous guarantee is offered by an
association of adventurers with no ma
tlonal autonomy, and no representative
character, except by virtue of certain
treaties with a number of African tribes,
It has not been reported that any of the
great powers, except the United States,
nave recognized their pretensions.

The counsel for the estate, in de-

as to the heirs whereabouts, copied from

hundred postmasters of small western
towns, and sent letter to each one,
containing inquiries about the much-
sought-for heir. Saturday he received
two letters in reply. One was from the
postmaster at Ackley, l., telling him
that The heir lad been found. The
other was from the heir himself, giving
a history of bis wanderings and of his
family relations and affairs. The court
was informed of these facts, anu the
lawyer was told that he might have all
the time he required to bring a pleas
ant end to the little romance.

TIE IGAEsIAs GoYERYuExr,

The refusal of France to recognize
the Iglesias government of Peru is at
tributed to the fact that he is tacitly
supported by Chill, whose interests in
Peruvian guano beds do not harmonize
with those of France. The recognition
OF President Iglesias by the United
States occurred on April %, 1884, and
undoubtedly to give him the support
OF friendly relations with this country
is to promote the welfare of PROSTATE
Peru. E1-President Calderon has been
liberated from the Chilian confinement
in which he has been held for nearly
three years, but it is intimated that he
will not return to Peru as disturber
in the immediate future, and ex-Dicta-
tor Pierola has thus far fulfilled the
promise which he made in New York a
few weeks sago not to attempt to take the
government out of the hands of Iglesias,
The prospects for Peru is as favorable
as could reasonably be expected, and if
Gen. Iglesias is permitted to carry out
his present policy he may prove his
right to his title of President Reeen-
eratOrn

BUILDING Nv MADRID.

There is curious state of things re-
ported from Madrid. There are few in
dustries in the city, and the only en-
ployment that is given to mechanics is
in house building. A vast amount of
this has been done within several
years past, an actual mania appearing
to have taken possession of capitalists
for building investments, and it is esti-
mated that upwards of $4,000, 900 have
been expended in the city and suburbs
on houses alone. AS a consequence.
there are not enough people to fill the
houses, and the empty buildings so dis
courage the investors that work has
stopped and laborers can find no en-
ployment. It is stated that there is
house room in Madrid for 100000 more
persons than are living in the city.

City of Mexico.

The Mexican Central trains are now
running from El Paso to the City of
Mexico on schedule time of fifty
eight hours. This is a decided improve
ment over the old stagecoach trip of
two weeks.
The fare, $3.50, is also an improve
ment over the old time, when it cost a
fortune to visit the "Halls of the Mon
teZumas."
The opening of this road in the
spring of the year is most opportuue
in more ways than one. 1t gives the
capitalist and prospector chance to
begin operations during the best sea-
son of the year, though, for that matter,
the season rarely conflicts with any oc-
cupation whatever in Mexico.
1t is most opportune for the tourist,
who will wish to get away from the
sultry days of our summer to the mag
niticent summer Of the Mexican pla-
teau.
The country through which the road
runs is situated at an elevation of from
five to seven Thousand feet above the
sea-leyel, and it's climate is simply
superb. In the oddity of the people.
the quaintness of the cities and antio-
uity of its ruins, Mexico rivals Europe
itself.
Until Mexico is Americanized, at
least, trip to that Spanish America
will be as interesting as the "Grand
Tour" while the great difference in ex-
pense will make it for most of us the
favorite.
1t is noticeable that the Atchison,
Topeka & Sante Fe and Mexico
Central are the only roads that meet
in union depot at Ell Paso, where the
trains stand side by side, thus avoiding
a troublesome transfer across the city.
Another conspicuous feature of the
| train service is the arrangement by
which those coming to Ell Paso over the
Santa Fe make almost immediate con
nection with the Mexican trains, while
by other routes the traveller suffers n
| delay of some fifteen hours. Perhaps
this was an accident, and perhaps f.
wasn't; at all events, the average tonrist
will take the quickest and most con.
venient route.
The Santa Fe trains run from Kan
sas City to El Paso without change of
cars OF any kind, SO that the companies
have practically through route from
the Missouri River to the City of Mex.
leo. e>
One of the pleasantest things about y
trip along this route is the entire nh.
sence OF danger from diseases incident
to journey on the low lands. for the
Mexican Central's entire course is on
the great plateau from five to seven
thousand feet above the sea-level.
The summer climate, on account Of
the elevation, is simply magnificent, and
will always hold for this route the favor
OF the public, while its American com
padre, the Santa Fe, will open the eyes
OF the Eastern tourist with their grand
hotel at the Las Vegas Hot Sprines,
now being rebuilt on grander scale
than before. with the ancient city Of
Santa Fe and the yine-clad valley Of the
Rio Grande. : ~

Massacred by Nayajos.
from a Denver snec,a,


The Navajo Indians, large number
of whom have been on the warpath for
some time, are determined to murder
the white settlers in the lower San Juan
country. Several weeks ago band of
these Indians attacked Mitchell's ranch,
about $50 miles to the southwest of
Fort Lewis. Several white men were
seriously wounded, and two Indians are
known to have been killed. AS soon
as the news of the attack on the ranch
was received at Fort Lewis fifteen SOL
diers were sent to the scene of the bat
tie, and these have, it is supposed, been
murdered. A man named Pete Jensen,
a stage-driver, brings the news to Du-
range that the Indians had gathered in
force, about 500 warriors strong. Some
of them surrounded Mitchell's ranch
and others were located in the hills
near by, and the people corraled. There
are twenty cowboys, fifteen soldiers,
old man Mitchell and his wife, and
their sons Edgar and Henry and their
wives, Peter Christman, working for
Mitchell, Joseph Daugherty and wife.
William Poland, who stopped for his
stock to rest, Victor Neff, and three
children of Edgar Mitchell. This shows
a total of about forty men, most of
whom We're probably well armed. The
overwhelming force of Indians could
overpower them at any time. The In
dams claim that the old man Mitchell
killed the Indian who fell SO early in
the fight, and that if he was given up
they would go away and come back to
trade as before. This, of course, was
not done. II they got the old man they
had to fight their way to him. The
Indians told Ed Noland, son .in-law of
Mitchell, who lives on the river, that
they wanted Mitchell. The scene Of
the trouble is in Utah on the lower
San Juan River, little over 100 miles
from Durango, and about 100 miles
from Rica. 1t is in the country thick
ly Inhabited at all seasons by Navajos.
A later report brings the news that
the whites have all been massacred,
but whether the report is true cannot
as yet be confirmed.

TIMBER AREA.

In recent address op the subject of
tree culture, Prof. Rothrock, of the
University of Pennsylvania, points out
that only 16i per cent. of the area of
the United States is woodland owned
by private parties, whereas 2S per
cent. of the area of Europe is in forest
and no European country with less
than 15 per cent. OF woodland area pro.
duces enough lumber for its own use
This estimate does not include the
large tracts of public landsin our coun-
try which are of "a forest character, but
those are being rapidly denuded; and
with their supply counted, it is plain to
see that unless we soon take measures
to preserve and increase our timber re-
sources we shall have to be sending
abroad for lumber,

THE NEW OCEAN CABLE.


The Cable Steamer Faraday Arrives al
Rockport, Mass.
GLOUCESTER, May 22-The steamer
Faraday has arrived at Rockport and is
proceeding to connect the cables. She
was greeted bv 1000 people with can.
non salute. The shore end was landed
and will be connected with the section
previously buoyed $50 miles east of
Rockport. The citizens rendered re.
ception to the officers, but they de-
clined till the cable shall be completed.
When the Faraday steams away this af-
ternoon che will proceed to the buoy 25O
miles northeast of this place, where she
will splice the cable, thus making q
complete circuit from Dover Bay to
Rockport. She will then steam thirty
miles east of Dover Bay to take up and
splice the shore-end laid from Dover
Bay towards the Irish coast. When
this splice shall have been mado
she will sail to ireland, paying out
1000 miles of the deep sea
section. She will then buoy the end Sec
ton and proceed to London for the re-
mainder of the deep.sea section. After
taking this on board she will go back to
her buoy and finish the deep section to
the Irish coast.

----'7-I-----------
CHARLES O'CONOR.

Charles O'Conor's death is reported
from Nantucket, the sea-beaten island
on the south shore of Cape Cod, where
the retired lawyer had made his home
for some years past. Mr.. O'Conor was
about 80 years Of age at the time of his
death, and having long since accumu-
lated competency, his appearances at
the bar for many years past have been
infrequent. His last great professional
triumph was as one OF the counsel be-
fore the electoral commission in 1877.
On that occasion the case went against
his clients, but it was owing to no fault
of its advocate, who made one of the
most masterly legal arguments ever
heard in this country. For very long
time, by common consent, O'Conor was
conceded to be at the head of the New
York bar, which, of course, means the
first rank among the lawyers of the
United States. He owed this recog-
nition not to any peculiar brilliancy as
an advocate, but to his general excel
lence in the various departments of the
complete legal mind. His great sue
cess in the profession is the more not
able from the fact that he entered it
without the classical education of which
most of our great lawyers have enjoyed
benefits. He was SO thoroughly a law
yer that he never cared to be anything
else, and though he had many oppor-
tunities for political advancement, he
accepted none save membership of a
constitutional convention and short
term as United States district attorney.
In 1872 he was the candidate for presi-
dent of the Democrats who bolted the
nomination of Greeley, but it was in the
face of his positive declination. His
character was as high as his abilities
were great, and one of the best known
incidents of his late career was the in
vestigation by the New York Bar AS
sociation and his acquittal of the mali
cous charges preferred against him by
an unscrupulous enemy.

MRDFoRD, Wis, May 20.-For some
time past s. 81. Keeler, postmaster at
this place, has had suspicious that the
sanctity of his home was being invaded
by DR.. Singleton B. Hubbell. Yester-
day afternoon he intercepted a letter
written by his wife to Hubbell which
contained clear evidence of their quit.
He Immediately ordered his wife and her
paramour to leave the town, threatening
to shoot them both if they persisted in
remaining. DR.. Hubbell became highly
agitated over the discovery OF his unlaw-
full amour and hastily arranging some
business matters, committed suicide by
shooting.
MEDFoRD, Wis, 21.-Following are
the particulars Of the suicide OF DIR.
Singleton B. Hubbell: Keeler, the
postmaster, intercepted letter from his
wife to Aubbell, which, it is said,
furnished abundant evidence of criminal
intimacy between the two. He loaded
a revolver, sought out his wife, and fred
at her. Mrs. Keeler ran out of the
post-office into drug store next door,
with Keller in pursuit. He was held
until the sheriff came up and disarmed
him. He declared that if Hubbell and
his wife did not leave town he
would kill them both. Judge Phelps
went to the bank, OF which Hubbell was
president, and told Hubbell, who was
yet unconscious of the scene enacted
within few yards OF him, of what had
occurred. He asked Phelps what caused
the shooting, and Phelps told him of
the intercepted letter. he asked what
it contained. Phelps answered.: 81 do
not know. She is at my house; you eau
60 and zee her." Hubbell called at
Judge Phelps about 4:3O, remained a
few minutes, and left, remarking:
"There is nothing left me to do but
make my will and go away. I will be
back in two hours" He went directly
to his office, which is in his residence.
At about 6 o'clock he crossed the street
to the store of GLASGOW Bros, asked one
of the firm to witness his signature,
saying: "This is my last will. Take it,
and should anything happen to me pro-
duce it" He left note addressed to
his partner, dated o'clock P. NJ, telling
him what to do; whom to notify of his
death by telegraph; whom to write to; in
closed check to pay hio boy and the
woman who attended to his rooms; a
memorandum of oil accounts duo him ;
asked him to keep cool, to pay deposit
tors, etc. He eaid in this note:
"That man," referring to Keeler, "has
driven this woman to do what she
did, and deserves no sympathy" He
then took his coat off, folded suilt,
and laid it on the bed, saturated towel
with chloroform, lay down upon the
bed, put pistol to his left temple, and
fred shot directly into his brain.
Death must have been instantaneous.
About ten o'clock his friends began to
grow anxious at his absence, and a
search revealed him lying as above de-
scribed on his bed. Keller and his wife
left on the same train yesterday. It is
rumored that they have become recon-
ciled. Hubbell's will, after a few be.
quests to relatives and friends, left the
residue of his estate to Mrs. Keeler.
Hubbeil was president of ihe Exchange
Bank, ef Mcdford, treasurer of Taylor
County, and a very prominent citizen.
His estate is variously estimated at from
S20.0J0 I" 100000.
