An Alleged Secret Trip of Mr.. Blaine
Through Canada in 1880.
LONDON, Feb. 12-The Chronicle de-
clares that the American government
desires commercial, and ultimately
political union with Canada. On the
authority of gentleman who is a per-
sonal friend of Mr.. Blaine, and who was
a friend of Gen Garfield, having been
chiefly instrumental in securing the
latter's nomination for the presidency,
The Chronicle states that during the
Garfield Hancock contest in 1880,
Mr.. Blaine quietly made tour
of Quebec and the provinces sound
ing representative men on the question
of commercial and ultimately political
union with America, and that Mr..
Blaine, satisfied with the results of the
tour, entered President Garfeld's cab
met ON the distinct understanding tn at
this question would be pushed II was
only President Garfeld's death, says
The Chronicle, that prevented the de
velopment of the policy which Mr..
Blaine is now pursuing under President
Harrison. Mr.. Blaine having in each
case the cordial approval of the presi-

But VIII Spend the Remainder of Hi

Life in the PenitentiaIy.
LANCASTER, KY, Feb. 12-The jury
in the case of James Rose, charged with
the killing of Andy Bird, after an alb
sence of only forty-fve minutes from
the court room, returned with verdict
finding the defendant guilty, and fixing
his punishment at confinement in the
peuitentiary for life This killing,
which was one of the most atrocious
ever committed in Garrard county, oc-
Cured last March, on the waters of
Fall Lick creek, near the home of Andy
Bird.
1t was proven in the testimony that
Rose shot Bird in the back whilst the
latter was unarmed, without the slight
est cause. The only plea Rose could
make was that three years previous to
the killing Bird had called Roses wife a
prostitute, but had afterwards made the
amend honorable, and both were con-
sidered friends thereafter. The indict-
ment. which was returned by the grand
jury last August, included Leonard
Scarborough, 15-year-old boy, and
William Singleton, negro, as acces-
sorie, who will most likely be released
after the verdict, as they were only re-
tanned as chief witnesses. Rose seems
to be very well satisfied with the verdict
as he fully expected TO be hanged.

ScoTTDALE, Pa, Feb. IL. The great
strike Of $1,000 coke workers has ma
terialized. There is hardly man at
work outside those employed by w. j.
Rainey, 1t is expected in labor circles
that the employees of w. J. Rainey, num-
bering 1000, will come out soon. Rainey
has his works guarded by Pinkerton de-
tectives, Trouble is expected, as the
strikers are aroused, and may make an
attack on Rainey's works at any mo-
ment
The strike already is affecting business.
There is but little doing on the South
western and the Baltimore and Ohio
railroads, and about 200 men are out of
work.

Surgical Operation to Cure IdIocy.

CINpINNATJ, Feb. IA most unusual
surgical operation was successfully per-
formed at the Cincinnati hospital, the
object of which is to reclaim a child
from idiocy. The patient was years
old. She cannot talk and has all the ap-
pearances of confirmed idiocy. A sister,
is years old is an idiot. It was found
that the skull was abnormal1y com
pressed and prematurely ossified. The
physicians decided to remove portion
Of the skull SO as to allow the brain TO
develop. The operation was successfully
performed, strip half an inch wide
and five inches in length being removed
and the scalp neatly joined over the
space. The child rallied and appears to
be doing well.

RECIPROCITY WITH VENEZUELA.
The President Said to Have a Proclaim a
tion Ready to Announce,

The President Said to Have Proclaim n
tiOn Ready to Announce.
New York, Feb 12.-The Times
Washington special says;
1t is understood the president has
ready for announcement proclamation
of reciprocity with Venezuela similar in
terms to the agreement just reached in
Brazil. This agreement has been
reached by the exercise of the powers
conferred by the legislation of the last
session of congress, and will take effect
according to report about the same time
as the agreement with Brazil
The figures prepared for the state de-
partment have been under consideration
for some time, and estimates have been
as careful as the imperfect figures pro-
durable, concerning the Venezuelan
trade would permit us to the benefits to
be obtained by both countries. While
the commerce of Venezuela is not so
large as that of Brazil, the United States
have for several years enjoyed much
larger proportion Of the importing bus
mess than any other nation dealing with
the Venezuel8ns.
The exports of Venezuela in 1886
were little more than $11 ,OO0,000 and
their imports were about 30, 600, 600 OF
this amount the Venezuelans took from
us more than 81 600, 900 in 1886, and in
1883 that country took from the United
States products to the amount of $4,000
600. This included about $500, 900 worth
of breadstuffs, principally wheat -four;
about $500, 900 worth of cloth, 500 600
worth of manufactures of iron and
steel, and more than $500,000 worth of
provisions and dairy products.
The latest figures procurable OF our
imports from Venezuela are those Of
1888 In that year we imported a little
more than $1O,000,000 altogether, made
up of about 1923, 900 worth of chemicals
and dyewoods, drugs and medicines,
nearly $4,000, 900 worth of coffee, about
$500, 900 worth of cocoa, $1,000, 600
worth of hides and SKINS and 100000
worth of other articles.
The imports increased from about ST.
600, 600 in 1870 to more than $4,000, coo
in 1880, and the increase from 1880 to
1883 was about 1900, 600, While the
United States sends more products to
Venezuela than any other foreign ma
ton, the imports Of the United King
dom, France and Germany together are
larger than those Of the United States,
and the imports are IN extent in the
order, respectively, of the nations men
toned.
The proclamation of the president
would have been made a day or two
ago, as it was expected the agreement of
Venezuela to the propositions Of the
United States would be received by the
last steamer. The papers are on the way,
however, and will arrive by the steamer
due in New York Feb. 1S, or therea-
bout

OUR TREATY WITH BRAZIL.

Secretary Blaine Shows the Benefits tn e
United States VIII Derive from It.
WASHINGTON, Feb Secretary
Blaine has prepared tables showing inn
portations into Brazil of American
products which are covered by the ar
rangelnent between the United States
and Brazil, completed on Feb. g. The
first table gives list of articles,
amounting in value to S3, 1894 ,633, when
imported into Brazil from the United
States are to become free Of duty The
list of articles is the same as that made
public i'll the presidents proclamation.
The first table also shows that of
articles to be admitted free, of the total
average importation into Brazil of $50,
COZ 900. of the said articles the United
States have heretofore only furnished
articles to the value of $3, 1894, ,633, while
other countries have furnished articles
to the value of $40, ,G09, 500. The second
table gives the list Of articles which,
when exported from the United States,
are to be admitted into Brazil at re-
duction of % per cent. on regular tariff
rates. The list is also the same rs the
one heretofore published.
Commenting on this table, Secretary
Blaine says: From this it will be seen
that of the total average importations
into Brazil of $3S, 63l PAP, of said articles
the United States have hitherto fur
nished articles to value only of S2,O35,
800. while other countries have furnished
articles to the value Of $50, ,59j, ,3i3. TAX

sational incident occurred here Tuesday
which has setreligious and secret society
circles agog with excitement Edward
Weaver, a prominent member Of the
Knights of the Golden Eagle, and a
member of st. Alphonsus Catholic
church, died Monday and his funeral
occurred Tuesday afternoon,
The Golden Eagle lodge held their
ritualistic services over the body at the
residence of the deceased, and in body
marched to the Elm Grove railroad
station to embark for Mt Cavalry, the
Catholic cemetery. There they were in
formed they would not be permitted to
enter the gates of the consecrated
grounds. In the meantime the body
was conveyed to St. Alphonsus church,
where mass was said over it by Rev.
Father Didicus. Then the coffin was
taken to the cemetery. On the outside
of the gates procession was forme l,
led by the knights. Obedient to the in
structions of Father Didicus, the sexton
refused to admit the procession.
The knights held hasty consultation,
and asked the widow what she desired
to do in the case. She responded that
she would stand by the knights. They
accordingly refused to allow the body
to be taken into the cemetery. They
had it taken to the waiting-room at
Greenwood cemetery; fastened back to
the city, procured a rough box, made
up fund to purchase a lot, and by late
in the evening had the remains of their
dead comrade inferred in Greenwood,
