OTTAWA, Ont, June 24.-In the house

lures were reference to the reciproci-
ty issues and the announcement of the
abolition of duty on raw sugar by which
act the treasury loses and the consum-
ers are freed from over SO, 900, 900. The
duty on refined sugar is changed from
~ per cent. of duty to per cent. of
value, equal to $40 of cent per pound.
The net debt of the Dominion was
$237, $40, 900, showing that there had not
been any increase since 1889. The per
capita is now 1.65, or only six cents per
head more than before the great Cana

! BARDSLEY'S PLEA.
Philadelphia Ex-City Treasurer
Arraigned for Sentence.
He Makes Statement Emphaticnlly De-
nying That He Has Been Benefited
by His Transactlons-Bank Exam
iner Drew Severely Scored
Sentence Suspended.

PHILADELPHIA, June "a. - Ex-City
Treasurer John Bardsley was brought
into court yesterday morning and the
examination of witnesses to support the
charges against the prisoner were be-
gun. At the conclusion of the testimony
Mr.. Alexander said his client desired to
read statement. Mr.. Bardsley then
arose and read a detailed statement of
his official liabilities.
The confession" was more in line
of defense of his own conduct and was
exceedingly spacious and fair-seeming,
giving in detail his various transactions.
1t bristled throughout with figures and
showed where every dollar he had been
accused of misappropriating has gone
to. To the charges to which he has
pleaded guilty of loaning the public
funds at interest and to speculating
with them he frankly acknowledged,
but he emphatically denied that he had
been benefited by his transactions to
the extent of dollar.
National Bank Examiner Drew came
in for severe scoring at the hands of
Bardsley, and he laid it to his door that
he sunk his money in the Keystone
bank. Bardsley said that it was through
Mr.. Drew's plausible statements of the
banks condition that he deposited his
money there He further charged Mr..
Drew, through an acknowledgment by
President Marsh, of the keystone bank,
that Mr.. Drew knew of the banks con-
dition; that Mr., Drew was under obliga-
tions to John c. Lucas, the dead presi-
dent of the bank, for money loaned and
for valuable favors received. Bardsley
implicated Henry II. Yard in his trans
action by stating that it was through
him he had loaned money to banks.
At the closing of the reading District
Attorney Graham arose and addressing
the court, said: 1.-THE statement pre-
sented by Mr.. Bardsley has been lengthy
and covered many things about which
there has been aroused great public in
terest. l move for an unlimited suspen-
sion of sentence"
To this the judge agreed This closed
the Bardsley case and the court then
proceeded with the other criminal cases.

REIGN OF TERROR.

Startling Facts in Connection with tho
Revolution in Chili-Balmaceda's Feroc-
ity and Despotism Shown Up.
New YORK, June 23.-Many startling
facts in connection with the revolution
now raging in Chilli which throw light
upon the ferocity and despotism of Bal
maceda are now given to the public for
the first time.
In Santiago, where his headquarters
are, he has caused a cross of red to be
painted on all the houses of people
whom he suspects are not wholly in
sympathy with him, and into these
marked residences his police and SOL
diers go at any time of the day or night
The people in these houses are forbid
den to lock their doors. No one is al
lowed to ride on horseback through the
streets after 5 o'clock in the afternoon;
no three persons are allowed to walk
the streets in company at any time of
the day and no two persons can stand
and converse on the street.
1t is veritable reign of terror for all
who either through fear rorinterest have
failed to cast their fortunes with Bal
maccda. A New York gentleman saw
horrible punishment meted out to a
Chilian who had been overheard to say
that he was willing to work his hands
off for the revolutionists The poor fel-
lows hands were placed on block and
his fingers pounded to a jelly by a NAL
let in the hands of soldier He was
then told that he could go and work his
hands any way he wanted to and for

THE CENSUS BUREAU.

Superintendent Porter Corrects a False
Report-The Work in Perfect Condition
and Well Advanced, with Ample Oppor-
tunities to Carry 1t On.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-Superintend-
ent Porter denies emphatically the
truth of the published report that the
census bureau work is about dead and
swamped; and its appropriations ex-
haused, and that therefore he is tired
and discouraged and intends to resign.
He has, he says, no intention of resign
ing until the work of the eleventh CEN
sus is completed. AS to the work of
the bureau being blockaded there is no
truth whatever, he says, in the state.
ment; but on the other hand it is in per.
feet condition, well advanced, with am
pie appropriations yet uneXpended to
carry the work on for another twelve
months, or as far as congress expected
it would be carried with the appropria-
tions already made.
Superintendent Porter is more than
pleased with the progress made thus
far. Two volumes will be ready for
the printer next month. The volume
embodying the aggregate population of
minor cities, will be ready for the prin-
ter by August l. and the first 500 pages
of the population compendium will go
to the printer about the middle of Au-
gust. By July 3lst the tabulating cards
will be ready and then it will be neces-
sary to dispense with the services OF
about 1000 clerks now employed in the
population division.

CONTRACT LABOR.
A Decision That VIII Knock Out Cana
dian Carpenters.


WASHINGTON, June "a. Assistant
Secretary Nettleton has decided that a
carpenter cannot come from Canada,
engage work, and upon his return with
his tools enter upon such work without
violating the contract labor law. The
question came up in the case of William
Knight carpenter who arrived by
ferry boat at the port of Sault st. Marie,
Mich, on June 2, and on being ques-
toned stated that he had previously
crossed the river from Canada into
Michigan and arranged for employment
at his trade; that he then returned to
Canada to get his tools and was now on
his way to fulfill his engagement.
The inspector at that port barred him
as coming within the law prohibiting
the immigration of alien contract labor
ers, and Assistant Secretary Nettleton
yesterday ruled that the case comes
within the prohibition of the statute
and that Knight was properly prevented
from landing, since he did not come as
intending citizen and had entered into
a contract to labor before crossing the
boundary line to remain.

RESULTS OF DISHONESTY.
The Nefarious Practices of Unprincipled
Tradesmen.

The NefarlouS PRACTICES OF Onprmclpleu
Tradesmen.
The harm which few unscrupulous
men may do to great number of
honest ones is well illustrated by a cir
cular which the United States depart
ment of agriculture has sent out.
For the past five years, this circular
shows, there has been a steady falling
off in the quantity and price of our
country's butter exports. During these
last years only about seventeen mil
lion pounds of butter have been sent
abroad annually, against twenty mil
lion pounds year during the five years
preceding.
The price during the past five years
has averaged from three to five cents
less than in the first five years.
During this period also eighty-eight
million pounds of cheese per year have
been exported, at an average price of
about nine cents pound; but for the
preceding five years the exports of
cheese averaged one hundred and
twenty million pounds, at an average
price of nearly eleven cents pound
The decline of both these items of
trade is attributed in great measure to
the expectation of butter and cheese of
a very bad quality 'Filled cheeses," f."
said to be compounds of SKINNED
milk and grease" have been sent to
England, as well as rancid butter and
"oleomargarine" instead of good butter.
Much of this mischief is undoubtedly
done by unscrupulous packers and ex.
porters, who substitute wretched stuff
for the good product of the farms; but
these packers, while they hurt the rep
utation of all American cheese in for
eign business, contribute to ruin their
own business.
No agriculturist should forget that
good measure and good quality are the
surest means to prosperity in the
world, and farmers owe it to them
selves TO leave no stone unturned t.
secure, if possible, by combination or
other far means, the delivery of their
honest products to the = consumer
whether in their own country OF
abroad.-Youth's Companion.
