A Panama dispatch says:-At the court
martial that met on the 18th ult., TO try
Pedro Prestan, who has been executed, four

that Prestan was the author OF the
fire. the court, after having heard the
prisoners de'casc, ordered the room to be
cleared and then deliberated as to what'ea
tcnCethey should pronounce. All the votes
but one were for the hanging OlPrcstan. Al

great composure. Up to his last moment
he had a priest by his side. When upon

calling upon the ColOmbians to believe
him innocent OF such an atrOClOus crime.
Notwithstanding all his repeated protests
Of innocence, there was but one voice OF I'M

rhs ward and warner Rn.eaIIty.

Ferdinand Ward appearrdin the supr"m"
court chambers in New York. From his
examination in the Warmer case, 1t APP
pcared that in less than two months, ON a
CAPITAL of $50. 600. Warner drew from tn"
hrm his original capital and a profit OF
S27,OO besides. So for two years War
ner continued L. invest money, draw prof.
it, and raiuvC>t the same. Sometimes ne
would bring friends into the pool, but
always to his own profit, according t" the
testimony OF Mr.. Ward. At one time
he brought S250,OUo to the firm.
collection from twelve different Wall street
men. To each Of the twelve he guaranteed
interest ut the rate of 3 per cent per month.
This he paid 10 them, pOckrting for himself
interest onaU Of the $25O.000 at the rate
Of 20 per cent per month. Mr.. Ward said
that when he protested that Warner was
making all the profits that gentleman cody
told the hrlm that if they did not nix" II he
would withdraw al the capital he had i'm
vested: - Grant & Ward had to shoulder
the old uan Of the sea.

The Epidemic of Crime.

have named several causes. HON u

ness of a future state crlppieS1ortiUuue

suffering from the universal business

strong drink.
Free-thinkcrs have committed sui

Insanity ard dissipation have pre-
coded suicides and family murders.
One feature commOntO almost every
such crime challenges attention. Well
nigh every report of suicide and taml-
" murder mentions the perpetratOr
as having for some time been subject
to melanchOlV." Whence comes this!
All recognized medical authorities tell
us that the fire which consumes the
brain is always kindled by derange-
ments of digestion; that good digestion
is impossible without pure blood, and
pure blood is never known when the
liver and kidneys are out OF order.
Under such circumstances, a prevent

ner's safe cure is soveign-a fact con
coded by the best authorities in the
land, and it is especially commended
by the celebratedD DR.. Dio Lewis-Roch-

Changing the wheat Grades.

Duluth Special: Commissioner Murdoch
and Chief Inspector Burdick arrived here
and held a conference with the board of
trade representatives over the inspection
here, and the result is that the No. /
hard rule was changed from '75
per cent. hard Scotch Fife wheat"
to shall consist mostly OF hard
Scotch Fife wheat" This is the old re-
quirement OF the Duluth board and will
result in throwing much more wheat into
the No. l hard grade and in giving greater
satisfaction TO farmers and commission
men here. The No. / Northern grade will
not be rs high as under the rules first
adopted by the board.
The change noted is one OF great impor-
tance, as it lowers the quality of wheat 20
per cent. Wheat which. under the former
rule, was required to contain rs per cent.
OF hard Scotch Fife wheat, will now pass
grade If it contains only 81 per cent. OF
that variety. When the rule requiring so
large al amount OF hard wheat was made
by the commissioners, it was predicted by
a great many grain men that compara-
lively little OF the crop OF Minnesota and
Dakota would grade No. 1 hard il the rt~S
were strictly applied. b Es4y 3

Subsequently he became superintendent OF

Canada and the Dominion generally,
seems to bein anything but afiourish-
ing condition. Since the confederation
in 1857 the population has increased
so per cent, and the wealth has gain
ed in no larger ratio. But in 1867
the Dominion owed $76,0 600, 900 net,
while this year the net debt is over
1919, 000, 900. The Intercolonial
Railroad cost the public treasury
$40, 5000, 600, while there has been
sunk in the Canadian Pacific, includ-
ing subsidy, loans and land grant,
$4,000, 600. No wonder that the
Toronto Globe, a trustworthy Jour
nal, says: From Montreal to thesea
there is not a city, town. or village in
which real estate would bring as good

of the provinces would a farm sell as
well to-day as it would have sold ten

Increasing Circulation of silver.

Treasurer Jordan says the policy adopted
bv the treasury department to secure
a better circulation of silver coin Is
meeting with gratifying success. Dur
ing August there was paid out from
the different s~ubtreasuries S1,611.444
in standard dollars. and S1,49J, SO2 in
fractional silver coin, which amounts were
largely in excess of the issue O~isilver during
the corresponding month Of last year. Mr..
Jordan says:
The withdrawal OF 81 and 81
notes from circulation was made
necessary by the rapid accumula-
ton OF silver in the s~ubtreasuries. 1t
was expected i'll this way to create a demand
for silver coin. That the plan was success.
full is shown by the large output during the
past month. So far no formal complaints
or protests against the withdrawal OF 81
and So notes have been made. Applica-
tions have been, however, received for huge
quantities Of small notes. In each case
answer has been made that the issue OF
those notes has been suspended for the
present.

Heathen Chinese Killed in wyoming.

Omaha, Neb., Speeial-Numerous mes
sages were received at the Union Pacific
headquarters in this city from ckSprings,
Wyo., giving details ofthe riot ofthat place,
between the white coal miners and Chinese.
These accounts differ somewhat from the
reports first sent out from Rock Springs.
There are at Rock Springs about four hun.
ured white miners and $50 Chinese miners.
Both have been there for several years, the
Chinese living separate in one part OF the
mining camp and the whites in another part.
There has, however, always been ill-feeling
between the two elements, the whites fire.
quently prosecuting the Chinese. Recently
the Chinese were reinforced by the arrival OF
fifty fresh coolie laborers. This aroused the
wrath OF the white miners, who determined
to clean out the eptire Chinese population.
and late in the afternoon they made a raid
on the Chinese quarters, firing sh~otguns and
pistols into the air tn frighten them into
leaving. The Chinese, frightened nearly to
death, fled in every direction, until their
cabins were entirely deserted. They were
pursued some distance by the white miners,
who kept shooting over them. The whites
then set fire to the Chinese quarters, de-
stroying every Chinese cabin. The Chinese
are mostly seeking shelter on the hills and
buttes in the vicinity, awaiting further
developments. During the day they have
several times attempted to send a flag of
truce to the enemy, and to hold o confer
ence in nope of bringing about n compro-
mise, but their messengers have all been
driven back with warning shots by the out
posts.

the right oil the roadto select lands in lieu Of
indemnity lands relinquished by the st. Paul

missioner Mcfarland held that the

that this case rests on grounds similar to
those in the st. Paul & Sioux City case, in
the W~orthington district. where 5000
acres were decided on the 29th OF April
this year to be beyond the reach OF the
railroad company. In other words the

New YORK, Aug. 10-The committee of bond
holders of the first mortgage bonds of the New
York, Chicago & st. Louis railroad, that was
appointed to take steps to protect the interests
of the bondholders have issued circular re-
ployed counsel in New York and Cleveland,
have interviewed in the proceedings brought
under the second mortgage and will resist the
obligation which will take precedence of first
mortgage bonds; have obtained the appointment
of master to take proofs as to the
ownership of the equipment which
they believe belongs chiefly to the
frstmortgage bondhoders; that in their con-
ferences with representatives of the Junior Sc
curities, no proposition for amicable settle
ment other than one proposing an increase of the
first mortgage for the benefit of other inter
ests, or decrease of the interest
| rate has been made. The committee
objects to both of these plans; that they have
prepared for legal action after Sept. /, if no
agreement has been reached at that time, provd-
ed half the bondholders will agree TO such
action For the future the committee
proposes to fight any motion in court
detrimental to the first mortgage interests: to
secure all the equipments owned by the first
mortgage; that the mort gage requires the assent
of one fourth of the bondholders to enable the
trustees to take possession, and one half to
foreclose and sell. The committee in
this connection desires the assent of three
fourths of the bondholders saying it already has
secured the assent of very large holdings as
with such representation it has assurances of
being able to make satisfactory arrangement
