We're killed.

THE ARGENTINE.
PRESIDENT Pelligrini Discourses on the
Financial Situation.

President PeIligrinI Discourses on the
Financial Situation.
NEW YORK, July 26.-Late mails from
the Argentine Republic bring letter
from President Pelligrini to the Chamber
of Commerce on financial topics The
chamber had proposed series of radical
measures to be adopted by the Argentine
Government in releasing the country
from the state of paralysis which hr
followed the collapse of its credit
Europe
The President takes up the suggestions
one by one, and shows that all proposals
have already been acted upon as far as
practicable. a review of the Govern
ment's policy brings into clear light the
bankruptcy of the country and the mag
nitude Of the financial reverses which
have been caused by speculative reckless
ness and miSmanagement. 1t appears
that the interest payments on the national
debt have been suspended, with the ex-
eeption of the loan of 1886, which the coll
lections of the revenue were guaranteed to
extend O0,0O0 month. This Is the only
interest payment which is now made,
and 1t is required by the conditions of the
loan.
All public works involving aid from
the national treasury have been sus-
pended for nearly two years, excepting
those subjected to the requirements Of
special contracts-like the harbor inn
provements at Buenos Ayres and few
railroads in the interior-and even these
are to be brought to an end as soon as
possible.
The budget expenditures have been
reduced by the discharge of hundreds of
officials i'll the civil service over l 500
employees having been turned out during
the last few months.
Pelligrim's main ground for hopeful
ness is conviction that the bottom has
been touched, and that as there can be no
lower depths it is reasonable to look for
indications of revival and improve

FRESNO, July 2G. - Thursday night
about u o'clock Sheriff Hensley dis
covered in time to thwart deep-laid
scheme to break Jail. 1t was more a
chance than otherwise that it was found
out. The Sheriff was sitting in front of
the Jail, while the prisoners were singing
more boisterous than usual. Presently a
peculiar sound was heard at a window in
the rear of the Jail, and the Sheriff went
round and discovered j. 3. Preiss busily
at work on the inside trying to remove
the bars. He had one of the bars out of
the way and the lattice work outside re-
moved. With the displacement of one
more bar he could have escaped.
Preiss Is the man sentenced few days
ago to eight years at Folsom for house
burning. He is q mechanic of no mean
ability, and had checkered history, not
ably for crime, and though only % years
of age, is regarded as a hardened crimi-
nal.
When the Sheriff discovered what was
going on he called the jailer and assist
ants, and the prisoner was put in the
other apartment for safe-keeping. On
his person was found a key that would
unlock all the doors about the Jail. The
key was made of case-hardened iron, and

Preiss had been locked in the cell inlthe
evening the same as usual, bat by some
means he had slipped the bar that fast
ened the door and had got into the cor
l1dor of the Jail. BY means of his key he
could have gone out through the side
doors, unlocking two, but he preferred 10
try the window at the end. 1t is almost
certain that the file and piece of iron
were FURNISHED from the outside. a force
OF blacksmiths were put at work riveting
