Foreign Gleanings

George Goodin, the murderer of Farmer
Embody, in Montana, is still held by the
mounted police at Edmonton, awaiting the
arrival of extradition papers from Ottawa
and Washington. Goodin was in the Edmon-
ton district for the past two months, but
managed to elude the police. There is a
brother of the man whom Goodin. murdered
living at Lake Ann, near Edmonton, who
is waiting an opportunity to avenge his
brothers death, and it is probable Goodin
may not get out of the country alive.
F. s. Simpson, a young man who arrived
at Tacoma, w. IT. from Fresno, Cal, with
strong letters of recommendation from the
Wells-Fargo Express company, was given
clerkship in the Northern Pacific express
company. No bonds were required of him.
One night he went on duty and next day he
was missing, and he is supposed to have
taken boat for Victoria, B. G. He had
checked off several large consignments of
money. One consignment to Benjamin
Snipes, Ellensburg Wash. T. large cattle
owner, contained $4,000. One to c. o.
Palmer, Palmer station, contained 81 900.
There are supposed to be other sums. Simp-
son was young man, printer by trade,
and worked in an Office at Tacoma a few
days before taking the clerkship.

Riot ON . Railroad Car.

As the Omaha train, of West Superior was
about to cross the first span of the bridge
coming from Duluth, dispute arose be-
tween several occupants of the smoking ear
over some trifling matter, which finally re.
suited in general fight, in which an un.
known man figured very conspicuously. The
unknown man is described as being a short,
thick-set man, with light moustache. After
knocking down several occupants of the car
he drew q revolver and shot Ben Switzer
through the neck, inflicting o severe flesh
wound. He then fred again, hitting
another man, whose name was not learned,
in the cheek. At this the shooting became
general and several shots werc exchanged,
during which time q man rushed into the
ladies' car and fired several shots, one oil
which took effect in the leg of Frank Boggert,
o resident of Superior The terrified passen-
gers were rushing in all directiona to avoid
being hit. The train was stopped just be-
fore the bridge was reached. and during the
excitement the unknown man made an at.
tempt to escape. As the train started three
shots were fred, and lady, who was look
ing out of the window saw O man fall
and believed he was fatally wounded. The
three wounded men were brought to West
Superior. There were two who were badly
pounded about the head by the stranger.
Boggert was taken to q hotel, where his
wound was dressed. The stories as to who
did the shooting in the ladies' cor where
Boggert received his Wound, conflict con-
siderably. The matter is being investigated
and dQubtle ss some clew will be obtained as

Silver Dollars Missing.

Some irregularity has been discovered in
connection with the transfer of silver dollars
from the mint at New Orleans to Washing
ton for storage in the large new vault in the
court yard of the treasury building. which
has resulted in the loss of 81 500. The loss
was discovered but did not become known
outside the department until later. Treasury
officials refuse to speak of the matter, and
very little is known beyond the facts already
stated. The silver is shipped by the Adams
Express company, and the loss will probably
fall upon it unless it can be proved that the
packagescontainingt the money were tampered
with before they came into its possession.
The money is shipped in wooden boxes con-
tanning two canvas bags, with 81 900 in
each bag. The boxes are carefully sealed be-
fore they leave the mint for delivery to the
express company, and are carefully guarded
from that time until their delivery at the
treasury department. They are therefore
under surveillance from the time they
leave the mint until they are delivered
to the agents of the United States treasury.
The shipments average $500. 900 day, and
the silver already placed in the vault amount
to over thirty million dollars. All this coin
was brought from Philadelphia and New
Orleans, but mostly from the first-named
city The shipments from New Orleans
were begun only few weeks ago. and it is
in these that the discrepancies occurred. So
far as known, only two boxes were tam
pered with In one of them the entire con-
tents of one of the bags, amounting to 81 900,
were removed and replaced with bird shot In
the other box, only about half the contents
of one of the bags, or about $500, was taken,
and shot and pieces of lead were substituted.
The robbery was not discovered until the
bags were weighed at the treasury. The
scales weighing the silver overbalanced when
these bags were placed on them, and hur-
ried examination of their contents disclosed
the fraud which had been perpetrated. These
bags we're parts of different eonsignments
and are believed to be all that have been
robbed. The agent of the express company
was at once notified, aud the treasurer re-
fused to accept the bags. A treasury official
says that the loss SO FAR does not exceed the
amount stated, and that tho responsibility
for it rests entirely between the express COM
pany and the officials at New Orleans who
handled these particular boxes.

The workmen engaged in excavating the
ruins of the late fire at Rochester, N. T., came
upon q ghastly find in the southeast corner
of the ruins. Under machinery and debris of
all kinds was found u heap of what were once
human forms, crushed by the weight which
was rested upon them for days. 1t is impos
sible as yet to ascertain how many bodies
there are. Three have already been recovered
and there were evidently several more near

bunch where they had evidently gone down
to death together. The record stands, dead,

There are twelve still missing, supposed to be
still covered up. There seems to be no doubt
that the death list will number thirty-three.

Farmers md FREQ Trade

The free traders, In their efforts TO persuade

ufactuTers, that benefits are bestowed on no
other class OF people aud TIA at the chief effect
OF protection Is To make agriculture pay trib-
ute 10 manufacture. This is The main feature
of the propaganda OF Tree trade In the pres
ent campaign. To show how wide of the
truth such assertions are II is only necessary
10 point out the fact that the value of the
farmers products, measured in commodities
has vastly INCREASED during the period of pro-
lection. Products that were worth TO him
SG3S in 1861 are now worth $751;! Manufact-
ures OF ali kinds have declined in price. The
tariff system has been OF advantage 10 the

are duties OF twenty per cent on live animals,

IIigh md Low TarinI.

There is a confusion OF terms In the use Of
'high" and slow" tariffs to designate pro-
.ective and revenue tariffs, and they are
made interchangeable by democratic orators
ana papers, perhaps designedlY, or perhaps
for the purpose OF misleading voters.
protective tariff need not he high, nor a
revenue tariff low. The tariff on lumber ia
about l6 per cent, yet II is fully protective.
The English tariff averages over 60 per cent,
yet it is free trade tariff-a tariff "for revenue
only"
A 'high" tariff properly speaking, is one
that is prohibitory-that is so high that for
eign goods are excluded protective tariff
