Atohison, Kas., Jan. 6.-Jeal-
ousy was the cause Of youthful
attempt to suicide this morning.
Louis Kurth, lad Is years old
and the son of a prominent citizen,
shot himself with a pistol. The
girl that was supposed to be his
sweetheart, Nellie Burnlensham,
13 years old, has not only rejected
his matrimonial advances, but also
refused his company any longer.
This made him desperate and he
tried to kill himself. He aimed
the pistol,at his heart. 1t is likely
that his attempt willprove success
full, for the wound inflicted is
dangerous.

Special dispatches report that
many farms in Southern Illinois are
almost submerged with water, the
result of long continued rainfall.
Thousands of bushels of corn in
that part of the State remain un-

farmers have been unable to drive
into their fields to make the harvest.

The annual meeting Of the New
York Union of ex-Prisoners of war
was held in New York recently.
A committee was appointed to draft
a letter in reply to one of the late
JefIersonDavis, which has recently
appeared in print upon the subject
Of the treatment of Union prisoners
in Southern prisons during the war.
The association took strong ex-
ception to the letter, and, while
having due respect for the dead,
the members were unanimous in
agreeing that the letter should be
answered, giving the personal ex-
periences of some of the members
of fthe association in the Confederate

The Sweet Word "HOme."

DR.. Talmage pays the following
tender tribute TO an ever welcome
theme. "Home! 1t is charmed
word. Through that one syllable
thrill untold melodies, the laughter
of children, the sound ofwell known
footsteps and the voices of undying
affection. Home l hear in that
word the ripple of meadow brooks
in which knee deep we waded; the
lowing Of cattle coming up from
the pasture, the sharp hiss of the
scythe amid the thick grass, the
creaking of the hay-rack where we
trampled down the load. Home!
Upon that word there drops the
sunshine of boyhood, and the
shadow of tender sorrows and the
reflection of ten thousand fond
memories. Homel
"When l see it in book or news
paper that word seems to rise and
sparkle and leap and thrill and
whisper and chant and pray and
weep. 1t glitters like a shield. II
springs up like fountain. 1t thrills
like a song. 1t wrinkles like q star.
1t leaps like flame. 1t glows like
sunset. 1t sings like an angel.
And if some photographer, urged
on by a spirit from beneath, should
seek to cast forth that word from
the language, the children would
come forth and hide it under gar.
lands Of wild flowers, and the
wealthy would come forth to cover
it up with their diamonds anC
pearls, and the kings would hide
it under their crown, ,and afterHerod
had hunted its life from Bethlehem
to Egypt, and utterly given up the
search, some bright, warm day il
would flash from among the flowers
and toss among the coronets, and
the world would read it bright ant
fair and beautiful and resonant as
before. Homel Homel Home!

view that something more of an economic
rent that the state had been accus-
toned to exact would be adventageously
brought into the treasury, while on the
other hand practical politicians the more
they studied the subject were more and
more impressed with the hopelessness Of
the project. In view of the opposition of
tue former class and of holders of small
properties to an increase of direct taxes.
Walker referred to what he termed the
remarkable weakening in the present
financial crisis of those who through the
greenback-sllver contests, stood most
stfily against measures of possible infla-
ton, but now had seemingly ceased their
resistance to the further coinage of
silver, if they did not actually desire IT.
de attributed this largely to the discred-
ltlng the OF the views of orthodox American
economists on the subject of money and
especially of Indifference to the money sup
ply. In the lack of natural leadership
he said, 1--WE could only hope that prudence
may rule the hour and that the instructive
con servetism OF the American people may
enable them to pass throughs,this, perhaps,
the most perilous crisis in their financial
career without wreck"
Touching the subject of immigration, he
said the American people were called upon
now to decide whether there was any limit
to the extent which they would share their
blrthright with strangers. Not only the
enormous increase of immigration but the
manifestly lower character of the recent
Corners made the question urgent.

Bureau of Amer lean Republics.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The bureau of
American republics has received a dispatch
from the Argentine republic giving a brief
summary Of the commerce of that country
for the year ended June 80 last. 1t appears
that, notwithstanding it's revolution. the
imports for the year amounted to S175. 955.-
COO, and the exports to Sl59, 627, GEO. The
wheat crop for the year has been enormous
and Will probably be the largest ever
grown in that country.
During the year $4,000 immigrants
landed at Buenos Ayres, of which number
100000 had their passage paid by the gov
eminent.
Information is also received by the bu-
reau that the government of Colombia has
signed a contract with J. L. Cherry. of
Milwaukee, Wis, for the completion of the
Caucan Valley railway from Bueno Ven
TINA, the chief port of Colombia, to the
cities OF Cali and Manizales with the privi-
lege OF continuing the road to the gulf of
Darien on the north and the frontier
OF Ecuador on the south, and east.
ward to the navigable waters of the
Amazon river. This road, when completed.
will give th at portion of Colombia that is
very rich III both agriculture and mineral
recources access to tide water. The gov
eminent guarantees intrest of per cent.
gold Tor eighteen years upon an expendi-
ture OF S3S, 900 gold per mile and the exclu-
sive privilege for seventy years of operat-
ing the railway within twenty-four miles
OF the route surveyed and accepted; the
title to all gold and other mines that may
be discovered within the twenty four miles
limit and freedom from all duties and taxes
for term of years.
The bureau has information re-
garding the renewal of the Panama
canal concession by the Colombian govern
ment. From this 1t appears the company
is allowed TWO years from the 1st of Jan
uary to organize and resume operations; is
required to pay for lands on the isthmus
which under the original concession were
granted them without cost; also the ex-
pense of sustaining whatever military or
police guard may be necessary to protect
the works and maintain peace along the
line of the canal; is to pay the government
of Colombia bonus of 1O,0O0O0O francs
and give first preferred stock in the com
pany to the amount of 100000 francs.

The Storm King.

NEW YORK, 26-The predicted snow
storm arrived this morning. Pedestrians
were few and far between, the surface
cars making poor progress in spite of the
fact that four horses were trying to do the
work of two. Navigation on the river and
bay was seriously interfered with. So
lar no accidents are reported. This storm,
which is promised to be the worst since the
blizzard of March, 1888. has been giving
the south taste If its quality since early
yesterday morning. Its centre worked it's
way up from Louisiana to Tennessee, the
storm depression trying to get up an area
OF as high barometer in Lower Canada as
New York, which is in the centre of the
track and she viii have full share of de-
preston. The weather bureau sent out
warnings last night to all the offices of all
eastern railroads to look out for heavy
snow anC ordered the northeast storm sig
nails hoisted all along the Atlantic coast
from Norfolk to Boston, and along the gulf
from Pensacola to New Orleans. There
was lunar halo of 2215 degrees radius in
the heavens last night. This, with other
remarkable feats performed by that lumi-
nary these last three nights, has set every

Few Years.
THE NEW LINES IMPORTANCE.
The Number Of Miles Constructed in the United
States in 1890-The Great North
ern's Extensions.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch I
OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. ga few years
more will witness the completion of the
Winnipeg s. Hudson's Bay railway which,
in conjunction with line of ocean steam
ships, will provide new and direct outlet
to the European markets. Hugh Suther-
Land, of Winnipeg, leading promoter OF
the scheme, has overcome puulic opposition
and has at last convinced the Canadian
authorities of the wisdom of his vast un-
dertaking. The road is already completed
to point forty miles north of Winnipeg.
The purpose of this railway is to bring
the largest agricultural district in the
world, embracing 300 900 acres of fertile
wheat and grazing lands, more than one
thousand miles nearer TO the seabord than
it is at present. This advantage will ex-
tend to the wheat and cattle of the adioin-
ing states OF Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, Monnana Wyoming and Ore
gon, and also to the trade of
British Columbia, China and Japan.
Port Nelson, the terminus of the railway
On Hudson's bay, is :, 966 miles from Liver
pool, 1880 from Montreal, and 3, 100 from
New York, these distances being practic-
ally Identical, but the saving in railway
carriage IS very great From Regina, the
terminus of the western branch Of the rail
way, the distance to New York by the
present shortest route is 2, l35 miles and to
Montreal 1,781 miles and to Port Nelson
only 100 miles, showing a saving by the
Hudson's bay route over the New York of
,435 and over to Montreal of 10S5 miles.
The saving to Winnipeg is correspondingly
great. 1t is this advantage which has
caused so great and general demand for the
development Of the new route and which
will demand for it the carrying trade in
tended for European points. 1t will revo-
lutionize the trade of the whole vast in
terror of the continent as certainly and
completely as the Suez canal has revolu-
tionized the trade with the east
a more direct and cheaper route for
European immigrants to Canadian western
lands is urgently needed. The waters of
the bay and strait abound with salmon,
cod seal, porpoise, whale and walrus The
Hudson Bay company already does large
trade in salmon, porpoise and walrus, and
for half century New England vessels
have annually visited the bay for whales.
The development of these valuable indus
tries, however, is yet in it's infancy and a
source of such certain wealth to enterpris-
ing traders is not likely to remain neglected
when railway communication is established

sions of the Worlds fair act that it is de-

counter probable delay should application

tioh Section 16 provides, among other

The opinion of the attorney general was re-

authorized to designate additional articles

and authorize the employment of persons
outside of the department to prepare and
take proper care of such articles as he NAV

dent bodies are now dispensing from this

ment is unable to even estimate

will finally be at its disposal Interpreta
ton of this question was also asked, as the
secretary wished to know whether or not
the President has the power with or with
out the consent of the national commission
and board of management to divide or ap
portion said sum between them. The attor
ney-general replied day, in substance.
that as to the first question, he is of the
opinion the power vested in the President
includes that asked for by the secretary.
In regard to the apportionment of the
moneys, he does not deem it advisable at
this time to determine what rights the
President may possess in virtue of mis-
general executive authority, and says tits
probable the attention of Congress should
be called to the question.

the way from South America to Omaha to
give himself up to the police. To the
