LEAPED FROM a WINDOW.
A Prominent Banker of Italy Commits
Suicide.

FARNEsA, ITALY, October 2S.--A
great sensation was caused here yester-
day morning by the suicide OF Signor
Giuseppe Salomini, one Of the best
known bankers in the city. He was
about SIS years Of age, and supposed to
be very wealthy.
He leaped from window at the Git
tadini Club, falling to the ground from
a height Of four stories. Death had
evidently been instantaneous.
AS the deceased was one OF the dlrec-
tors of the Peoples Bank, his suicide
has given rise to alarm among the peo-
ple that the bank IS in difficulties. A
run upon the bank began at once, and
the true situation is not yet known,
Salomini had been in troubled state oil
mind for some time past, and is known
to have been embarrassed by the pre-
vailing financial crisis.

BY the Very Low Price of Skins Set by tho
London Sales Last Monday.
VICTORIA, 3. c., October 2S. Sealing
men are very blue over the condition Of
the market for seal skins. Tho fall
sales held at London, which determine
the prices for the year were held last
Monday, and instead of seal skins being
in strong demand at high figures, the
market proved = be oVerstOcked and
purchasers considered sixty shillings
excessive. The ruling quotation was
tifty-seven Shillihgs, or about S13, and
at this price only business done was
transacted.
Eighteen dollars was the standard
price last year. and owing to the closing
Of Boring Sea and the consequent light
been expecting the price would be at
least $50.
When the report of the sale was re-
ceived expressions of disappointment
were loud. The loss to all in any way
connected with sealing will be heavy,
and to not few the low prices will
mean financial embarrassment.
There is little speculation In skins
now, and those who have made care
full study of the situation predict that
next year further drop may be looked
for.

One of the Benefioisries Agrees to Give
New York 81, 900, 900 for the Library.
New YORK, October 2s.-The Court
of Appeals decided yesterday in favor
Of the contestants of Samuel j. Tilden's
will, thus defeating his purpose to
establish trust, but the free library
which the great statesman desired to
give this city upon his death, which
was the pet project Of declining years,
has become a fact.
The will has been declared void in the
court Of last resort, but meantime the
executors have effected a compromise
with one of the benefciaries, by the
terms of which 50, ZOO, 900 will in any
event be set aside for the library.
Although this is half the amount which
Mr.. Tilden willed should be devoted for
the purpose, it is still sufficient to place
the Institution upon substantial foot

Special Customs Inspector Sessions has
informed the Treasury Department Of
the seizure OF several lots OF clothing

His reports show a systematic method
OF smuggling on the part Of certain

Troy and other cities in New York.
He says an agent Of the foreign
tailors visits the country for the pur-
pose of taking orders, and that the
goods when finished are delivered to the
customers tree Of duty, by the conniv-

clothing from Canada and from Europe
has aroused the indignation Of domestic
merchant tallors and the Treasury De

cured the passage of the Kansas Ne
brasks bill, and as there we're but four
Of the twenty-three Congressman from
Ohio that voted for the bill, there was a
popular feeling for mass convention OF
Buckeye citizens, which was held at Co
lumbus on July 1S, 1854, on the one ques-
tiOn at that crisis:
Whether the republic and it's free institu-
tions shall be ruled by, and it's great mis-
sion of freedom be sunk into an Oligarchy
of slavery and the slave power.
This convention was duly held; 1000
delegates were present; 1t was officered
largely by men who had been leading
Democrats, and Joseph r. Swan, OF Dem
ocratic antecedents, was nominated for
justice of the supreme court. Mr.. Sher-
man was elected as one Of the twenty-one
anti Nebraska Representatives In Con-
gress, and in 1856, 1868 and 1860 as a
Republican Representative; and In 1861,
when President Lincoln called Senator
Chase to the position of secretary OF the
treasury, Mr.. Sherman became United
States Senator and remained such until
March 4, 1877, when he became secretary
of the treasury under the Hayes admin
istration, and in 1881 he was returned
again to the Senate, and his last term
ends In 1893.
The Whig candidate for Congress in
the Thirteenth Congressional District Of
Ohio had 32.4 per cent Of the popular
vote In 1852; in 1854 Mr.. Sherman, as
the anti Nebraska candidate for Con-
gress, had 59.S per cent. of 1t, and ma
jority of 1928 votes. In 1860, Mr.. Sher-
mans last race In the district for Repre-
sentative in Congress, his majority was
1884. Fremont, for President, was
2,S19 votes ahead in the district; Lincoln,
4,O33; Grant, 3,167; Hayes, 1882; Gar
field, 1857, and Cleveland 2l1 votes.
In the old struggles of the Wings
with the Democrats in this dis
trict, President Van Buren, led Hsr-
rison l66 votes; Polk was 625 votes
ahead Of Clay, and Taylor was distanced
by Cass 450 votes; hence 1t may be seen
that Senator Sherman was indebted to
the voters Of anti-slavery views, and Of
Jeffersonisn Democracy, for his entrance
upon political power. And yet in 1852
he endorsed the following plank in the
Whlg national platform:
The series of acts Of the Thirty-fr
Congress, commonly known as the com
promise or adjustment act (the act
for the recovery of fugitiVes from
labor included), are received and acquiesced
in by the Wings of the United States as q
final settlement, in principle and substance
of the subjects to which they relate; and We
deprecate all further agitation of the ques'
tions thus settled as dangerous to our peace
and will discountenance all efforts to CON
tinue or renew such agitation whenever
wherever or however made; and we viii
maintain this settlement as essential to the
nationality of the Wing party and the in
tegrity of the union.
This Congressional district, which
elected John Sherman to Congress on ar
'antl- Nebraska" platform In 1854, repudi
ated the platform above quoted in 1876:
by a vote Of 4,O98, in the candidacy O.

After having been in the United States
Senate for more than three years, to wit,
on April 10, 1854, within year of the
ending of the great rebellion, there was
bill before the Senate for the repeal Of
the fugitive slave law, reading as fol-
lows:
Be it enacted, etc., That all acts of Con-
gress, or parts of acts providing for the rem
dition of fugitlves from service or labor, be
and the same are hereby repealed.
Senator Sherman opposed this bill,
saying:
wish to give the people Of the southern
states-the few that are left who have the
right to enforce the constitution against us
their constitutional rights, fully and fairly.
The law of 1893 was framed by the men who
framed the constitution. It has been de-
clared valid and constitutional by every
tribunal that has acted upon it. do not
wish to extend this repeal back to a law
which was framed by the men whom I
reverence as the pioneers of this govern
ment, law that they believed it to be their
duty to pass, that was acquiesced in for more
than fifty years-a law that believe shas
been sanctioned by the courts and by the
people of this country. To repeal that act
now, in this time of revolution, when we
are in the midst of war, it seems to me is
carrying the matter too far.

question, but move to add at the end OF
the bill, the words, except the act approved
