There is no article that can ever take

that present prices are not as much

Chancellor Won Caprivi Not Enthusiastic

nance. is a strong gold partisan. Secretary
Won Marshall. although a strong bimetal-
list, will only act conformity with England
for the discussion lof the subject. As no
movement has been taken by England in the

THIS Is A TEXAS STORY.
Skeleton of Manacled Man Found BY Wood
Choppers in Large Oak Tree.

GAINESVILLE, Tex. Dec. 19.-Near Tasho-
mingo, yesterday. strange discovery was
made by some wood-choppers who were
working in the hills west of that place.
They brought to town q skeleton and the
section of tree that bear evidence of the
truthfulness of their story. They cut down
large oak tree which was partly hollow,
but the entrance to the followed portion
was almost entirely grown over, leav-
ing only slit In the outside Of the
tree. When the tree fell to the
ground it was split open by the shock
and there. lying in the center of the broken
wood, was the skeleton of a man. On one
ankle of the skeleton was band of iron
attached to q piece of chain. evidently part
of the manacles worn when be sought re-
fnge in the hollow tree. From all ipdica-
tions the skeleton has been entombed for
many years. for the tree had grown suffi-
GENTLY to almost cover the opening through
which he crawled to hide. Two of the ribs
were broken in such O manner as to lead to
the belief that it was done by q bullet The
suppOsitlon is chat the man escaped from
some prison and had He'd with q portion of
his manacles, and. being shot and hard
pressed, had sought refuge in the tree and
there died.

The article continues: The gas managers

BIG TiN-PLATE SCHEME.
American Manufacturers May Cover Penn
sylvania's Building at the Worlds Fair.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
PITTsBURG, Dec. 19.-A big scheme to
bring American tin-piate to the front has
been talked of among the manufacturers
for the past week. but it has been aban-
Aoned. 1t was to have the Penn
sylvania manufacturers furnish all
the roofng-plate necessary to cover
the building Of the Pennsylvania
exhibit at the worlds fair. The original
idea was to have such work done without
cost to the State. but the job was found to
be too big. A calculation showed that ten
thousand boxes of the standard size, 14x20
inches, would be required to cover the
structure. ALI expressed their willingness
to do 80 If it were possible but, with the linn
tied output. the few manufacturers saw that
donation of that size would be more than
they could stand. The matter was given
close consideration by all the manufacturers
and they agreed that If it was the desire of
the Pennsy lvania commissioners to make
such an exhibit of American-made tin they
will supply the plates at q special rate and
that is likely to be done.

France Is Bullying Bulgaria for the Effect 1t
VIII Have in Russia.
Copyright 1884, by the New York Associated Press
BERLIN, Dec. 19.-The view taken in Of
fetal circles here of the quarrel between
France and Bulgaria arising out of the re-
fusal of the authorities of tho latter coun-
try to allow journalist named Chadouine,
who was recently expelled from Bulgaria,
to return. is that it will result
in mischief. A dispatch was re-
ceived yesterday evening from the German
embassy at Constantlnople containing the
substance of the protest made to the Grand
Vizier by Nj. Cambon, the French embassa-
dor at Constantinople, in which NJ. Ribot,
the French Foreign Minister. accuses the
bulgarian government, beside the illegal
expulsion of NJ. ChadOuine. with insulting
the French agent. NJ. Lenel, by setting q
police watch upon his residence, and, upon
one occasion. with arresting NJ. Lenel him.
self by mistake. as the agent was entering
his office. NJ. Lenel appears to have been
suspected of secretly giving assist
ance to tho Russo Bulls arians who
were implicated in military plots
against the government. NJ. Ribot
contends that Bulgaria. under the stipu-
latiOns of the Berlin treaty, ought to have
applied to NJ. Lenel for permission to ar
rest NJ. Chadouine. and that the Porte must
now insist that Bulgaria shall apologize
and rescind the order of expulsion issued
against NJ. Cbadouine. and thus wipe out,
by public official recognition, the insult
to the French agent. The Grand VIzier
Immediately upon receipt of the protest
communicated with the government at Sofia
and received q prompt reply. In this
answer the authorities also expressed re-
greet that the incident had arisen, but de-
clared that they would adhere to their
right to expel Chaduoine. The Bulgarian
agent at COnstantlnOple. in Communica-
tions addressed to the German and Austrian
embassies, cOuched In the most cordial
terms, asserts that his government has
strong proof that tho French Tesidency has
been made the focus of plots against NJ.
Stambuleff, the Bulgarian Prime Minister.
The OK pulsion of NJ. ChadOuine IS only a
minor in cident among frequent collisions
between Nj. Lenel and the BULGARIAN Min
listers. In relation to the question of
breach of the stipulatiOns of the Berlin
treaty the opinion expressed in diplomatic
circles 10 entirely against NJ. Ribot. 1t is not
expected that the French Foreign Minister
will venture to refer the dispute to the
Berlin treaty powers. He will probably
bully Bulgaria in order to please Russia,
and keep the quarrel standing open until
an opportnne moment shall arrive for the
beginning of active hostilities.

LONDON, Dec. I9-Diplomatic observers
of politics in the Balkan states have at last
discovered the motive which impelled NJ.
Stambouleff. the Bulgarian Premier, to
have the Sobranje vote handsome yearly
pension to Prince Alexander of Battenberg.
1t seems that NJ. Stambuleff had been ad
vised by the Bulgarian charge d'affaires at
Constantinople that a messenger had been
sent by the Sultan on a special mission to
the Gear. The Bulgarian minister at
once jumped to the conclusion that Bull
garia was the object Of the
mission, aud fearing danger, and not hav
ing confidence in the military abilities of
Prince Ferdinand, he at once FASTENED to
pension Prince Alexander, with the Interior
object of placing the Battenberg Prince at
the head of the Bulgarian army In the
event or hostilities, and in case of success
to again place him on the Bulgarian throne.
1t is known that Emperor William would
welcome such a change. and especially so
