LETTER FROM PRESIDENT HARRISON
The President Speaks His Mind on Recip-

The President Speaks His Mind on Recip-
rocity With South American Countries.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. April 14.-President
Harrison, in letter to the commercial
congress, says he looks with great conf
dence to the completion of further recipro-
cal trade arrangements, especially with the
Central and South American states as fur
nishing new and large markets for meats
breadstuffs and an mDortant line of man
ufactured products. Persistent and honest
efforts are also being made, and consider
able measure of sue less has already been
attained to secure the removal of restric-
tions which have been regarded as unjust
upon the admission and use of our meats
and live cattle IN some portions of these
countries. Regarding the currency he says
OF the adoption of the silver bill by the first
session of the Fifty first congress- II was
assured by leading advocates of the free
coinage representatives Cf the silver states
that it would promptly and permanently
bring silver to $l.21 per ounce and keep it
there. That anticipation has not been
realized. Our larger use of silver has ap.
parently-and for reasons not yet agreed
upon-diminished the demand for silver in
China and India.

Disappeared.

LEONARD, Tex, April 4.--Justice Ring,
City Attorney Farmer and City Marshal
Weaver returned this morning from,
Trenton where Investigations are being
made which are likely to end in the dis.
closure of horrible murder. Eighteen
months ago Harvey Armstrong. aged l6
years, disappeared from home. Every
body supposed he han run away and his
father advertised and telegraphed every
where for information concerning his
whereabouts, but all to no avail. When
he left home he had $50 in money, and was
last seen in pasture three miles west Of
trenton, near an old we'll, PLAYING cards
with Bill and Neal Todd. Last Sunday
someone passing through thicket near tho
well discovered the hat worn by Armstrong
when last seen, and part of his shirt. Tho
shirt was partly decayed and moulded TO the
ground: The we'll is large one and partly
filled with mud and water, but grabhooks
were dragged through it today, resulting
In the finding of human hair, which is the
same shade as that of Harvey Armstrong.
Squire Ring will return to Trenton tonight,
and tomorrow the we'll will be pumped dry
and full Investigation made The Todd
boys are now under arrest

said last night that blackmailing on large

made while speaking of some bitter charges
made against King Leopold's government
of Congo state by Colonel George Williams
and in an open letter to Leopold II, Mr..
Stanley was attacked as being the chief
agent in setting up the kings authority.
Colonel Williams is colored man who
had good record in war. He met Mr..
Stanley first in 1884. Since that time the
colonel has made trip up the Congo.
That is about all Mr.. Stanley knows of him
except that some time ago he tried to
secure permission from Sir William Nc
Kenneu, president of the Imperial British
East African company, to 60 to the eastern
coast OF Africa. A part of the money given
Colonel Williams in his Congo trip, Mr..
Stanley said, was furnished by G. P. Hunt
