THE DYNAMITER IDENTIFIED.

The identification of the desperate
dynamiter who attempted to take the
life of Russell Sage and was himself
blown to pieces is positive and com
plete. Both his father mother have
recognized what there is left of his
person. There is corrobOrative evi-
dence in the condition of his teeth, in
the scraps of clothing found in the
ruined office and in the letter which he
wrote to his mother saying that he
was coming to New York for 81 200 600,
which he would get or kill himself, to
show that the man was Henry L. Nor
cross, the Boston note broker.
There are two grateful conclusions to
the public in this establishment of the
the Bostonian as the assailant and muir
derer. The first is that he was abso-
Iutely alone in the deadly affair.
There was for time much fear that
the deed was part of a dark conspiracy
in which numbers of men were asso-
ciated. Norcorss had no one in his
confidence.
The second is that he was crazy. He
is shown to have worked for years on
an elevated railroad project, which is
said to have had considerable merit
but which he was prevented from put
ting into operation for lack of capital.
Brooding over his failure his mind un-
doubtedly became unbalanced, and he
set about an insane scheme to procure
money which no man of sound mind
could possibly have undertaken.

Dr. Mcintyre, special agent of the

bounty, has been to Washington and
has succeeded in having a mass of in

government officials were insisting that
every gallon of sap should be measur-

matter to Senator Proctor; that the

MAKE UP OF THE ELECTORAL
COLLEGE.
The electoral college next year will
consist of 444 members, of which
majority of 223, will be necessary to
elect. The republicans have 2O4 votes
in sight, and the democrats have 169.
In the republican column of states are
included Massachusetts, and Iowa
which it is nonsense to talk about as
doubtful We might as well speak of
West Virginia, Maryland and New
Jersey being doubtful, but which are
included in the democrats list of states
in the foregoing computation. Con-
necticut, Indiania and New York are
considered doubtful, and from them
and Michigan the republicans are ex-
pected to get the nineteen votes nee
essary to elect. Michigan is repub-
ican state, but will choose electors by
congressional districts, according to
the democratic gerrymander. In that
state the republicans will probably
get at least half of the fourteen cleo
tors, leaving them twelve short of the
necessary number. With either New
York or Indiana it will be secure. But
giving both New York and Indiana to
the republicans, they can spare Con-
necticut and West Virginia. 1t can
readily be seen that, although the re-
publicans have much the better of the
prospects, there is enough of the ele-
ment of uncertainty in the next presi
dental election to make the campaign
interesting.

There is great agitation in Canada,
and especially in Quebec, over the dis
missal of Premier Mercier and his col
leagues by Lieut.. Gov. Anglers has
charged corruption upon the Ministry,
and Mercier retorts with indignant
denial and defiance, and say he will
return, with the people at his back,
and hurl Anglers from power. So far
the popular sentiment Of the province
appears to be with Mercier, and the
residence of the Lieutenant Governor
at Spencerwood is under military pro-
lection, for fear of an outbreak. There
is no country in the world where there
is more political excitement per capita
than in Canada.

New York, Dec. 12. "A Valparaiso
special to the Herald says: President
Jorge Montt has sent the Chilian min
listers in the United States and Eu-
rope reply to president Harrison's
message to the congress of the United
States in relation to the assault on the
sailors who landed from the cruiser
Baltimore. He declares that the Chill
ian athorities have never attempted to
evade in the slightest particular any
responsibility for which the country
might be justly held, but he insists
that the proper and ordinary forms
of Chilian procedure must be observ
ed. President Montt yesterday con-
sented to be interviewed relative to
Harrison's message, which is regarded
by many prominent people in Chill as
being intended to prepare the Ameri
can people for hostile movement
against this country. President Montt
said he was fully convinced that in the
end the American people would judge
the Baltimore affair without bias. There
was no doubt in his mind that the
congress of the United States would
act with fairness in the matter and
that justice would be done by the gov
ernments Of both the United States and
Chill. ''The closing sentence of Mr..
Harrison's message" said President
Montt, "shows that he will await the
conclusion of the investigation now
being made before taking aggressive
action. Believing that he will, I have
not the sigtest idea that there will be
any trouble between the two countries.
We have no desire for any difficulty
with the United States.''

seems to be the only place left. What

diminished by the commissions infex-

it the taxpayers will have more reason
to rejoice

CENTRAL AMERICA.
FRIGMTFUL FLOODS.

PANAMA, Dec. 12.-Advices from
Costa Rica, dated the Goth ultimo, are
to the effect that continued heavy
rains in the neighborhood of Garth
age caused the MaIinO river to over
flow its banks. In considerable land
slides on the railway between
Caertaho and Juan Vinas three men
were crushed by the falling mass of
earth and rocks. One man was re-
covered alive, but so frightfully
crushed that he is not expected to re-
cover. The town of Garlic is totally
destroyed. The river Sucles now
flows over the site of the town. The
river Zorro Amarillo formed for itself
an entirely new channel, but demol-
ished the railroad bridge over the old
bed.

COTTON CIRCULAR.
Atwood Violet & Co. on the Condition Of
the Market.


NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 12.-At-
wood Violet q Co. say:
Futures-Liverpool opened and
closed 9 to 1854 lower than yesterday,
but with spot sales Of 1000, which was
large for Saturday. This market
closes one better and New York one
lower than last night, both markets
steady. There was little disposition
to operate either way, and Liverpool
is daily cableing for information as to
probability clearly falling off in re-
ceipts. Receipts at ports this week
last year were 2G5, 600 bales. There
were two days of that week when re-
ceipts were $4,000 bales each. What
we shall get this week at ports will
depend upon the rapidity with which
the interior shipments of the week
ending yesterday come to ports.
They were large. The estimate here
for next week is 100000 bales
or $4,000 bales less than last week
ending last night. We should like to
remind our readers of what we said q
short time since. Spots must either
overtake futures or futures must come
down to spots, on this hangs the
whole situation. January contracts
closed here today at 7.31. If middling
cotton on December 9th, which is
tender day for January, should be
$50 here, or l-2 cents, which is 3-16c
higher than today's quotations, Janu-
airy contracts will be no higher on the
9th day of December, than they are
selling today as notices for delivery
from which everybody runs, will force
a liquidation at that much discount
under middling. The same thing will
occur in February and March no mat
ter, as we have said before, what the
price of mddling will be, for as each
month becomes current it will sell 10
to 20 points below middling. This
shows that spots are stronger than
futures relatively.
Port receipts today are 80, 900 against
$4,000 last year. Estimates here for
Monday are 10000. The worlds Wis
IDLE supply of American cotton today
is 100000 against 1904 900 last year
and 3,7S0,0O0 last week, according to
the Liverpool statement published
every Saturday. Our stock here is
$4,000 against 2G2, 900 last year.
Spots closed quiet and steady.
Sales, 900 bales. AS this is q half
holiday there is little doing, while in
ferior for some sections is disposed to
meet ruling prices it is generally
above parity with this market. De-
mand for middling and above.

THE HOUSE.

The speaker this afternoon had not
decided upon his colleagues OH the
rules committee, and the probability
is that no conclusion will be reached
until the house recOnvenes on Satur-
day-perhaps not until next week.
The speaker has given some consider
alton to the suggestions which the
members offered him in favor of a re-
currence TO the former policy of choOs-
ing the members of the committee, u
majority of whom should be in close
personal and political relations with
the speaker. Carlisle, when he be-
came speaker, departed from the prior
custom Of selecting the members ofthe
committee on rules, regardless of their
committee assignments, and made its
membership go, as matter of course, to
the chairman ofthe two most important
committees, namely, the ways and
means and appropriations. A number
of Democratic congressman urge re-
turn to this policy, and represent that
the effect will be to strengthen the
speaker. The membership on the
rules committee, it is urged, should
be a high enough honor without other
committee assignment except of the
ordinary character. Moreover, the
chairmen of the two principal COM
mittees will be the managers of the
works originating in the committees,
and the speaker would have these
men as active lieutenants on other
proposed legislation, and altogether
would have an excellent opportunity
to keep thoroughly in touch with the
party.
The Speaker also heard the objec.
tiOns urged against the plan. 1t rep
resented that the appropriations and
ways and means committees were the
most important committees and their
work would be the feature of the ses-
sion. 1t was urged that the chairman
of these committees should have a
representation on the rules committee
for the reason that otherwise their
policy might be blocked by the intro
duction of special orders, having
precedence. 1t also urged that it
would be to the interest of the harmo-
NOUS working of the House to have
the order of legislation in the hands
of those directly concerned in the
chief measures to be brought up.
Secretary Foster today transmitted
to the speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, for the information of con-
gress, estimates of appropriations re-
CURED for the service of the fiscal
year 1898, furnished by the heads of

It Opens the Eyes,

"My daughter is losing her sight,
said an anxious mother, "and just,On
the eve of marriage, too! What shall
l dO?" "Let her get married, by all
MEANS" responded the doctor; "mar-
riage is regular eye-opener." A
mans eyes open pretty widely, when
he finds his wife's charms disappear
ing. Health is the best friend of
beauty, and the innumerable ills to
which women are peculiarly subject,
its worst enemies. Experience proves
that women who possess the best
health, use Dr.. PierGe's Favorite Pre-
scription. 1t is the only medicine for
women, sold by druggists, under a
positive guarantee from the manufac-
turers, that it will give satisfaction in
every case, or money will be refunded.
This guarantee has been printed on
the bottle-wrapper, and faithfully
carried out for many years.
