CUT OFF.

A small steam launch, containing half
dozen persons, swept swiftly along
with the muddy current Of the Qua jara
river The vessel and party had left
Para, at the mouth of branch Of the
Amazon, nearly month before, and
had steamed UP as far rs the junction of
the MADEIRA, there taking a southerly
course as far as Balsamaco.
After leaving the latter town they had
turned into side stream and before long
were inextricably mixed up in the net
work Of creeks and small rivers which
cross and recross themselves in southern
Brazil.
The leader Of the party and owner Of
the launch lay stretched out on the deck

is Bunco. He's the only person who ho
ever been known to leave these parts
alive"
A shout from the young pilot brought
Bunco into view-a tall. thin, swarthy
man, with . countcrance that would
have made his fortune as the leading
villain in n drama Of the lurid type. But
in spite OF his looks and chronic indis-
position to work no was good neturcd
and intelligent, and OF valuable service
to the party. Jack had christened him
Bunco, n, the name most closely resem.

ing piston rou, Tor no nad set the engine
ss>sly to working. The result must have
puzzled and amused the captives as much
a. il alarmed the natives, and for few
minutes not sound could be heard above
the hoarse shrek OF the whistle, and the
loud ding dong Of the bell.
Just as tho din commenced Bill leaped
on shore with the rifles and ammunition
and set out in the darkness for tho cabin.
Twice he stumbled and fell, and several
times caught sight OF dark forms NOV
ing about him, for the cabin was sur
rounded by savages. But il they saw the
engineer they must have taken him for
one of their own number, and he reached
tho front Of the cabin in safety.
Hey, there" he whispered, rapping
lightly on the door. "It's me-Bli.h
Tho door was cautiously opened and
the engineer crawled in, receiving per-
feet ovation from the prisoners.
When they had divided the rifles and
cartridges, the captain ssid

at once. Under cover Of the darkness
wo arc more sure to reach IL, and tho
noise Of the whistle will show us tho way.
Arc you all ready"
Yes" came in chorus from the rest,
and the door was slowly opened.
The captain went out first, followed in
turn at intervals Of . minute by Bunco,
Jack, Russell, Bill and George.
Just as the latter started, the fun began.
The rifles kept cracking msrrily, each
succeeding report sounding near md
nearer to the boat, until the captail, " tn
Bill at his side, sprang on board, and the
ingenuity Of the latter was still further
demonstrated by the preparations which
he had made for repelling boardsrs.
Two long pieces OF rubber hose, con
Meeting with tho boiling water in the
engine room, were brought into service,
and, while waiting for the remainder Of
the party to como up, did valuable work
in keeping tho savases at a distance.
When the last man was OH board Bill
rushed below and started tho propeller,
while Jack, in the pilot house, headed
the boat down stream.

lie VIII Delay Bullion Coinage for Sew
eral Months.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June ga special
meeting of the Cabinet was held to-day for
the purpose of considering the financial
situation, and more especially in regard to
the extension OF the AZ per cent. loan and
the continued coinage of silver after Tues
day next. These matters were placed be-
fore the Cabinet two weeks ago by Secre-
tary Foster, who asked them to decide
whether the Treasury Department
should continue the coinage of silver
dollars after July l or discontinue
them, as the Secretary has diScre-
ton to do. The opinion prevails that in
order to meet the views of the silver men
the cabinet will decide to continue to coin
the same amount that is now being done,
2,000,0 900 ounces per month. On the other
hand, tlnanciers desire the coinage cut off
absolutely on the ground that it is of
CONS cannot be put in circulation.
One of the arguments used in favor
OF keeping up the coinage is that it will re-
suit III round profit TO the government.
The profit would come from the Seniorage,
or difference between the actual value and
the nominal value of dollar. 1t is un-
GerStood, however, that Secretary Foster
~ w N'>aol'N eiAo S'iAoA VI Ats''
ing money by coming debased money and
pocketing the difference.
After the meeting Secretary Foster
stated that after full and careful consid-
GRAFTON of the law relating to the coinage
Of silver he finds that the act
Of March 5, 1891. requires ''that the
secretary of the treasury shall as soon as
practicable, coin the trade dollar bars into
silver dollarS.' He also finds, he says,
that $l50000 has been appropriated for
the recoinage of the subsidiary silver coin
into such denominations as Will best serve
to give it circulation. There is constant
demand for small coins, principally dimes,
he says, which the minis have not been
able to supply.
The secretary of the treasury has decided
that his first duty III this matter is to obey
the direction of Congress. Congress has
ordered the coinage of the trade dollar
bars into standard silver dollars. The
coinage Of the trade dollar bars in this
manner will transform what cost $5,027,-
795 into 5,14S.2S1 standard dollars.
The secretary finds that it will require
perhaps four months to perform the work
of coming trade dollar bars into standard
dollars and recoining the subsidiary silver.
Therefore the question of the continued
coinage of silver dollars as heretofore is
not a practical one at present.

PARIS FACES A FAMINE.
All the Bakers, Butchers and Grocers in
the City Strike.


FAIRS. June 25-Paris is face TO face
with a famine. Six thousand bakers. all
he butchers, ana E4sajority OF the groceis
Of the city are on q strike.
The first t. suspend business were the
akcrs. As if it was not putting the pub
&c to a sufficient degree Of prospective an
loyance to have the bakers striking and
ri0ting, the butchers announced that they
also have determined to strike. Then at
$3.50 p. NJ, came the decidedly startling
news that the grocers had joined the bak-
ers and the butchers in the strike move
ment. Without bread, meat or groceries,
the regular inhabitants and visitors to this
city seem likely to be placed in an inter
estng position.
Up to this afternoon the whole matter
was laughed at and was regarded as huge
joke, but there IS really serious
side to the strike. This after
noon a meeting OF the council OF
ministers was held at the Elysee Palace,
and the whole question of the present la
Dor disturbance from all its points was
fully discussed. The result was that 1t
was decided that, in the event Of the strike
extending, the master bakers, butchers,
grOcers, and other supplierS Of food must
take measures to supply Paris, at least,
with the quantity of bread required Tor
the daily use of its inhabitants.

CLARE HESS DIVORCED.
His Wife Freed on the Ground of Deser-
tion-A Stage Scandal.

CHICAGO, H., June pa decree OF
divorce was entered by Judge Tuley in
favor of Mrs. Nellie J. Hess, actress, re-
siding with her mother, Mrs. j. S. A.
Judson, at 2l9 Michigan Avenue, and
against Clarence Hess. Clarence Hess
is son of G.. d. Hess, the we''-knoWn
opera manager, and was for time
treasurer of the Schlitz Park Opera
Company, at Milwaukee, and later busl-
ness manager of the Grand Opera
House in the same city. At the latter
place he was rendered benefit, sud-
denly leaving town after the perform
ance with all the receipts. He left his
wife with 81, but subsequently returned
and took that sum from her. She has
not seen him since. Mrs. Hess was
formerly q chorus singer in the Hess
Opera Company. Young Hess was
singer in the same company under the
stage name Of Clare. At the trial OF the
divorce case there was evidence to
SHOW Hess lost position as manager
for Herman Nunnemacher, and also at
the Grand Opera House in Chicago, be-
cause of his drinking habits.
