LONDON, April 1.-THE news that
Nine. Rouillier. the French woman con-
victei of abduction, was the cause of
Capt. Verney's troubles, has caused a
quaking in high society. The RouilIier
woman was held by the London author

in the hope that she would try to obtain
clemency by confessing, but she
kept her mouth closed until she got into

OVER 81, 900 ACRES
Of North Dakota Land Is With
drawn From Settlement.

WASHINGTON, April 17.--Acting Sec
retary Chandler to-day directed the
withdrawal from settlement of the va
cant odd numbered sections within the
primary limits of the st. Vincent ex-
tension of the st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba Railway company, in North
Dakota. When the original grant to
this company was made the land in con-
troversy lay within the boundary of the
then territory of Minnesota, but at the
time Of its admission into the union its
western boundary was restricted to the
Red river, leaving this land outside of
the state. As the grant covered lands
lying within the territory one of the
questions involved was, whether the
present or original boundary should
govern. The lands to be withdrawn
cover over G1,000 acres. This decision
follows that of the supreme court in the

they find it pretty hard to raise money,
and they have vague idea that free
silver coinage would make it more
plenty. In this they may be mistaken,
but they are entitled to their opinion.
There is, after all, something quite in
harmony with the genius of our coun-
try in the fearless confidence with
which these men defy the gold-stand-
ard countries to do their worst, if we
vote tor silver. They reason that if we

SET the basis of International commerce,
they say--will not the gold-standard
countries suffer as much as we do. if
not more? And of what account will
this disturbance be if bi metalism is at
last accepted throughout the world?
There are few economists who do not
admit that a double standard is pracii-
cable if the leading commercial nations
of the world would agree upon a ratio.
The difficulty is in getting the European
nations to agree to it. OF course it is
for our interest, as a silver-producing
country, to adopt the double standard
if it can be adopted safely. The method
which the western people suggest
seems TO be about the only feasible one
but as to its safety-well, the West
says it will be all right, but the East i,

The Express Companies.

The National aud Amer can Express
Companies are sharply criticised for
recent petty advance in their rates on
business between Vermont points.
Under the corporation tax law of 1882,
express companies were taxed three
per cent on their gross earnings in this
state Receipts accruing on business
partly within and partly without the
state were taxed on the part earned in
Vermont. This law the supreme court
pronounced unconstitutional. The law
of 1890 assessed tax of four per cent
on the gross receipts from business be-
ginning and ending in this state. 1t
does not appear that the tax actually
paid will be greater under the new than
under the old law. 1t is only assessed
on a different basis to meet constitu-
tional objections. But now the COM
panies announce an advance on all
business between Vermont points by
reason, it is alleged, of the tax assessed
by the legislature at its recent session.
On packages for which the old rate was
twenty-five cents or less, an advance of
one cent is made; over twenty-five
cents and not over fifty cents, the ex-
ira charge is two cents; not over sew
enty-fve cents, three cents; not over
81, four cents. This is an average in.
crease of considerably more than foul
per cent, 1t is generally understood
that only by the practice of the mos
rigid economy these companies are
able to make strap and buckle meet a
the end of the year. So the act of thC
legislature was one of unpardonablC
hardship. Why should Vermont farm
ers, rolling in wealth, shirk any part o
the burdens of taxation on to these i'm
pecunious express companies? An eX
ira session of the legislature should b,
called to relieve them of this load. Blu
it would be just like those greed,
lawmakers, if they should again get holt
of the corporation tax law, to fix rate
on express packages between Yer
mont points, and the last state of tn
companies would probably be worse thai
the first. And this, very likely, vii
be the outcome of the absurdly wea
and silly action of the companies.
