Coffee Supplies Cut OFF.

Coffee merchants in Philadelphia and Balti-
more say that they cannot import more stock
because they are unable to make remittances to
Rio Janeiro. Exchange is drawn on Rio by way
of London. When Brazirs financial credit was
running low the rates Of exchange were low, 10
being the quotation. AS her credit improved
and through the Rothschilds great loans were
placed at a low rate Of interest. the rate OF ex-
change steadily advanced TO %. making diff
ference in the cost OF coffee to importers of 5
cents per pound. Would-be buyers do not
know i'll what condition Brazilian banks are
left, and until advices are more definite COM
mercial relations with the new republic are cut
off.

Electiug New United States Senators.

North Dakota republicans in legislative eau
Gus last night chose ex-Gov. Gilbert A. Pierce
for Senator. The first vote gave him SO to IS
and his nomination was made unanimous amid
wild enthusiasm. He was escorted into the
hall and addressed the convention in a short
but earnest speech. Balloting for the second
Senator was then proceeded with, two ballots
being taken without result. The last vote
stood as follows: NJ. n. johnson, II; P. j.
AIcComber. IA: n. G. Ordway, 10; Walter Muir,
5; Geo. II. Walsh, IL; c. A. NJ. Sponsor, /; W.
G. Plummer. l. Geo. II. Winship, 2 The eau
Gus adjourned and balloting will probably not
be resumed for several days. On the motion
TO adjourn, which was expected to be defeated
by the Johnson and McConber men, the vote
stood 46 ayes to "a nays, and tine prediction is
made that Johnson cannot get in sufficient
strength to win. The fight for the second sen-
atorship will be exciting.
By common consent one Of the United States
Senators to be elected is awarded to the east
and one to the west division of the state of
Washington. On the ballot for the east side
senator the vote in the house yesterday stood:
John b. Allen, IS; George Turner, II; L. H.
Brents, L; Chas. s. Voorhees,, 8. In the senate
the vote stood: Allen, &c; Turner,6.

Reporters on the Stand.

William N. Glenn of the Intes'- Ocean was
witness in the Cronin case yesterday. He tes-
titled that one week after the murder Mrs.
Conkling told him that the white horse brought
to her door from Dinan's livery stable in no
way resembled the horse behind which DR..
Cronin rode on the fatal night. The one
which Captain Setback brought, she said, was
jaced old nag, while that which took DR..
Cronin away was a spirited animal
Edward Jones, n reporter for the Daily Netcs.
testified that he went to the Carlson cottage
several days after the discovery of Dr. Cronin 8
body. He went in company with another re-
porter. A story had been told that morning in
a vague way about the Carlson cottage, and as
a joke on the way there they got some cotton
batting and piece OF liver, the blood from
which they smesred upon the cotton. They
went into the cellar and put some of the
bloody stained batting in the chinks on the
ceiling and some rat holes in the floor The
witness, IN response to q question, denied that
he had put 1t there to furnish material for q
sensation in his paper.

URBAN SIMPLICITY.
The Heiplessness of the Cockney When
 Turned Loose in the Country

Inc Heiplessness of the Cockney When
 Turned Loose in the Country.
 1t is true enough that when the rustic cousin comes to visit his city relatives lie is apt to be rather simple, and to show ignorance of city ways and city institutions which seems to the urban friends proof of utter mental yaeuity; but it is equally true that when the time arrives for a return of the visit. the city relatives, if they did but know it, show quite as pro- found lack of knowledge of rural affairs, and one even more lnexeusa- ble. Nobody nowadays is so dull as to suppose that honey is milked from the bees as milk from the COWS. that turnips and pumpkins grow on trees, and that roosters lay eggs; but there is still a sufficient ignorance to give the country people as good a chance to smile on their own territory at the ''greennessh of their visitors, as the latter have when rusticity comes to town.
 Nothing is at once moro ignorant and more helpless than the cockney turned loose and dependent upon his own resources in the country; and that the country people laugh at him is the legitimate result of his inevita- ble blunders He is seldom quite so dull as the city-b cd domestic, who is represented as leaving her candle burning all night, because, having been accustomed to gas all her life. she did not, as she explained to her mistress next morning, know how to turn it out but in thousand ways he displays his inability to cope with the difficulties of the situation His standards no longer serve him, and when once q man is cut adrift from his standards. he Is entirely at the mercy of circumstances.
 In the ease of either the cockney or the rustic there is no blame to be at tached to want of knowledge of things which have been outside of the circle of his experience. The one who frankly confesses his ignorance and puts himself in the attitude of one who is ready to learn, has no farther trouble. It is in the endeavor to ap- pear to be master of situation which is really too strong for one that the absurdity lies. One may be helpless by the force of circumstances; if he is also ridiculous it is his own fault Boston Courier.
