rope by the close of next December. We
have al1eady taken about SIS, 900, 600 dur
ing the season. The Bank of England is
disposed to resist this movement
in a degree, and much of the
demand will fall upon Paris, which is
fortunately well prepared TO meet it. 1t is
also to be remembered that the failure of
crops in Europe will cause there stagna-
ton of trade and discourage speculation,
thereby lessening the demand for money.
Political, financial and monetary affairs
in Europe are all in a complicated and
delicate condition. Hence, il is impossible
to accurately forecast their outcome; so
that. however superior the inducements of
American securities to foreigners, it IS
quite within the range of posi- bilities that
they may not be able to avail themselves
OF such advantages as freely as We expect
In other words, it will not do TO count too
strongly upon foreign support in event of
further rise. Money in London has been
quoted at sac per cent. for carrying Am
erican stocks, which caused increased
orders to sell. That the Bank OF England
did not raise the rate of discount was
probably due to desire to keep foreign
money markets free of disturbance during
the placing of the Russian loan.

seems probable for crop and trade require
ments, though the demand from the latter
quarter may subsequently become urgent
enough to stiffen rates and so affect specu

ways an attempt to manipulate money: but
we do not anticipate any natural strin-

RAILWAY NOTES.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12-Chairman Walker
issued a circular today on behalf of the
commissioners of the Western Traffic asso-
citation, that may result in solving the
problem of joint rate divisions. On traffic
to be handled on through rates from the
Mississippi river to the seaboard, the
western lines receive a % per cent. rate
and the eastern lines 80 per cent. when di-
vided az kankakee. which is the point
where Missouri river traffic has always
been divided. The % per cent. belonging
to the western lines is to be subdivided, so
rs to give the ''Thres is" six twentieths
for its service between Streator aud Kan
kakee. the western lines retaining the
other fourteen -twentieths.
The result of these figures is to give to
the Three rs" almost the same proper
tion it has heretofore received on business
from the Atchisou, and which, the COM
missioners assume, will be satisfactory to
the line in question. The change does
away with the Objectionable divisions on
Missouri river basis, while preserving all
the proportions heretofore established by
the joint rate committee at all junction
points,

apAPNFIuTE MANIFESTO.

LONDON. Oct. 12.-The national league
of Great Britain has issued the following
manifesto: six months ago the mem
bers of this executive were appointed by
Mr.. Parnsll to advance the cause of Irish
independence In Great Britain. Fighting
under many difficulties we held our
ground and rallied every Irishman who
remained true to the principle for which
our leader lived and died, the principle OF
an independent Irish party and an indie
pendent Irish parliament Ireland has re-
ceived a blow by his death from which
she will not recover for a generation.
When O'Connel died all was chaos A
parliamentary party sprang up, but fail
ure and disgrace marked its course. Moth
ing was done for ireland, and the name
Irish member became by-word.
"Fenianism arose and all was changed.
Irish affairs absorbed attention I'm parlia-
ment, while Irishmen died for Ireland on
the scaffold or persisted in prison or in
exile. Something was then done The
English state church in Ireland disap-
peared and the first step was taken in the
tardy course of legislation for the protec-
tion of the Irish tenant. The power Of
Fenianism was for the moment broken,
but not until il bad revived the spirit of
nationality. Parliamentary agitation fol-
lowed the mOmentary subsistence of the
Fenian movement, and once more failure
marked its course.
"Tben Charles Stewart Parnell came
and all was changed. Rallying the forces
of Irish nationality everywhere and COM
bining revolutionary action with constitu-
tional agitation he fixed the attention of
the world on the wrongs and miseries of
Ireland. English parties and English
leaders bowed before him. Tories We'd
with Liberals to gain his support Firm,
memorable, commanding the followers
whom he found a rabble, and whom he
made an army, he dictated terms to the
English ministry, and the minister granted
them. In ten years he did more for Ire
land than had been done in generations.
Measure after measure bearing his mark
took its place on the statute book. His
work was crowned when the English pre-.
mier brought in bill to establish an Irish
parliament.
He is gone Ireland mourns at his
grave today. What is the duty of those
left behind? What IS the duty of the men
who followed him. To the last to struC-
gle for Irish freedom. 1t is said we fought
for the man and not the principle. Ii is
untrue. We fought for the principle
which the man embodied. The man him
self was indeed principle of self-reliance
and Independence which nothing could
sap, aud to that principle we are stanch.
Now it is necessary that the members of
this organization should elect a new presi-
dent and a new executive, and we invite
the branches in Great Britain to take i'm
mediate steps TO this end. We urge our
fellOw-cOuntrymen not TO despair. If vic
tory seems distant we ask them to take for
their motto the last words addressed by
Mr.. Parnell 10 the executive: Hold on,
fight on

End Of q Most Remarkable Case In q Ken
lucky Court.
Mrs. Julia Higbee was tried on Saturday at
Muldraughs. Mead county, KY, and, after being
adjudged insane, was found guilty of the muir
der Of her four children.by poisoning them.
The case is one Of the most remarkable on
record. as nothing but circumstantial evidence
was produced. Up to the time Of the death OF
the last child no one questioned the woman s
sanity, and some refuse TO question it now
Last October one Of the children was taken
suddenly i'll and shortly afterward died. Physi-
clans stated the cause to be meningitis Two
weeks later another child died in the same way
and four weeks later another passed away At
each death the grief Of the mo..l-.SSaounted to
nothing, she was quiet anf almost speech
less. Those about her thought it was owing to
her great grief that she so passive. Three
weeks after the death Of the fourth child Jesse
Higbee. the womans husband. determined to
investigate.
Physicians were positive in their diagnosis,
but at the fathers instigation the stomachs of
the little victims were brought to Louisville
and examined by chemist, who found them
literally lined with arsenic. The mother was
then arrested as insane and on being presented
before the circuit court three weeks ago was
dismissed. Her husband then declared his
belief IN her innocence and took her back TO his
home in Mead county. There she was arrested
charged with lunacy and murder, and Satur-
days verdict Was the result. Physicians testi-
flying to Mrs. Higbee's insanity stated that il
was caused by too rapid COLLABORATING, i've
children having been born in six years.
