Lizzie Borden MAY Not Be Tried.


TAUNTON, Mass, Nov. 27.-The i'm
preston prevails that the grand jury
will not indict Lizzie Borden for
the murder of her father, Andrew
Borden, but the public is no more
certain of this than when the
case first went into the hands of
the jury, since no member of that
body has expressed himself in any
way. 1t is felt that the attorney-gen-
eral realizes that it would be better for
all concerned to make no error in judg-
ment now, even at the risk of conjuring
up false appearances and to place Miss
Borden in position where she will not
be beyond the reach of Justice

SCRAPS ABOUT WRITER'S.

BARBARA FRIETCHIE," Whittier's IA
nous ballad. was founded on an Incl
dent given TO him by the novelist, Mrs.
E. D. E. n. Southworth, and was first
published in the Atlantic Monthly,
nearly thirty years ago.
N. REyAY left no memoirs, being as
adverse TO the display of private life in
books as was Tennyson. The best of
his mind, the Frenchman used to say,
was in his books intended for publica-
ton. It was his wish that not even his
correspondence should get into print.
ONLY four homes Of British writers
have been preserved on account Of the
associations connected with them.
They are the homes Of Shakespeare,
Milton. Burns and Wordsworth, and Il
is suggested that Somershy Rectory,
Tennyson's birthplace, should be added
to the number.
How vARoUsLY Tennyson was re-
garded is shown in the appellations
given 10 him. These included: 1.-THE
Poet Of Luxury" THE Poet Of Ro-
msnticism," "The Poet of Feudalism, -
"The Poet of Idealism," "The Poet OF
Languor," 'The Poet Of Love" 1.-THE
Poet Of the Aristocracy" and "The Poet

WASHINGTON, "A. Nov.-All the esti-
mates compiled by the several execu-
tive departments with the exception of
those of the interior department are
cow in the hands of Secretary Foster,
ofthe treasury. They are being printed
for submittal to congress when it meets
in December.
These estimates, as far as they have
been compiled by treasury officials.
show an increase of s5S, 500, 900 over the
estimates for the same branches of the
public service for the last fiscal year,
which amounted to S4O9, SOS. sos. The
estimates for the departments of JUS
tlce, agriculture, labor and state show
but slight increase, amounting in all of
them, when footed up, to not more
than 81, 100000. The executive branch
proper, the White house, is about the
same as last year, and the judicial APP
preparations, too, are but little in
creased.
To carry on the military and naval
establishments more money, it is
thought will be needed, and. COM
bined, these two departments ask an
increase of about $4,000, 900. The estab-
lishment of many additional free deliv-
cry offices and the necessary establish.
ment OF new Offices have been a tax on
the receipts of the post office depart
ment and the expenditures, it is esti-
mated, will exceed the receipts BY IS. .
OOO'OOO, an increase of expenditure over
TINS years estimates of nearly s., OOO,-
GOO. The treasury estimates will be
advanced about $1,000, 900, caused in a
large measure by the erection of public
buildings during the past fiscal year,
which will have to be furnished and
supplied with janitors, etc, and the in
creased pay OF the men employed in the
hfe-saving service.
IL Is IN the interior department, how
ever that the greatest increase is
shown. While the estimates for this
departmentare not in hand it is known
Tor pensions alone SIS, 900, 900 will be
required, which is an increase of more
than sl4,OO0,OOO. The figures given
above are all rough estimates. Though
not official they are believed to be

SOLUTION OF SILVER.

Standard.

Rothschild's Project-If Bimetallism is
Not Secured India VIII Adopt Gold
Standard.
BRUSSELS, Nov 2S.-It being now I'M
derstood that the proposal which Alfred
de Rothschild, of the British delega-
ton, will submit to the monetary con.
ference, is a well conceived and long
thought of plan for an International
monetary agreement and not mere
project Of air, a feeling of great.
err confidence has been created
among the delegates that the
conference will have practical
results. The attempt in certain quar-
tiers to confuse the conference and the
false impression conveyed by certain
European newspapers are strongly re-
sented by the delegates of all nations
Indeed it has caused the Russian dele
gate, Iawell known opponent of bimet-
allism, to announce his intention of
bringing the matter before the conven-
ton to-day and to protest against the
circulation of such reports
The interest taken by the Indian
government in the conference, is shown
by the attitude Of its representatives,
who do not conceal their opinion that
India has everything to gain and moth
ing to lose by international bimetal-
ism. Though they hardly expect such
a settlement to result from the present
conference, they are working heartily
at the task of finding a solution in that
direction and are cooperating with all
who hope that Rdthschild's plan can be
made acceptable to all sections. The
general feeling is that unless the con
ference comes to a solution satisfactory
to all, the adoption of gold standard
by India must follow, and for India
to face this would be as much a lear
in the dark as would any other new
scheme and would be fraught with the
elements of perturbation and panic.
These considerations are met in some
quarters by simple non-possumus,
but by a majority of the delegations
the necessity of facing the difficulty is
acknowledged.

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. a7.-It now an.
pears as though Ohio may have intend.
ed to have gone for Cleveland by a
slight margin. Last night the state
statisticians in Columbus completed
their election count upon indi-
vidual presidential electors. II
shows that Lorenzo d. Vickers.
the republican elector for the
Eleventh district is defeated by James
Seward, whose name appears first on
the list OF democratic electors Seward
received 4O4, ll5 votes and Vickers 4O2. :
S99. 1t is thought the reason why
Seward obtained so many more votes
than his democratic fellow electors lies
IN the Australian plan of balloting in
use in Ohio.
10 vote a straight democratic ticket
under this plan formerly was necessary
only to place cross opposite the name,
democratic ticket" at the head OF the
list of candidates. This year owing to
the tendency Of voters TO drop down
one line in their marking and desip-
nate the name of the first can
didate, thus enormously voting for
him, the law was amended to d.
rect that the crosses for straight ticket
must be placed In circles printed for
that purpose at tho top of the ballots
1t was feared from the first that many
would neglect to comply with the new
regulation and wcdld place their marks
at the side of the ticket at the
top, thinking to vote it straight.
Stewards election is taken as evi.
dence that this error was made bv
many voters in Ohio. 1t is argued that
the cross was placed beside his name
by many who supposed that thereby
they were voting the straight demo-
cratic ticket, whereas they were voting
only for him. II this be the fact,
though it can never be proved, enough
voters in Ohio desired to vote iar Grover
Cleveland and to carry the state by the
plurality that Seward got.

The Bank at Liberty, No., Robbed BY
Burglars-The Robbers Escape With a
Stolen Team.
LIBERTY, Mo-. Nov. 2s.-The First
National bank of this city was burglar
lied about o'clock yesterday morning,
and according to the best information
obtainable large amount was stolen.
The burglars effected an entrance in
the basement OF the building and came
up back stairway. The doors were
opened by skeleton keys The door Of
the vault was blown open with dyna-
mite.
The outer door of the safe was blown
off by dynamite and literally smashed
to pieces. 1t was secured by time
lock. Inside the safe was a reserve
vault with a combination lock which
was not opened, although fuse and
dynamite had been inserted in it for
that purpose.
The explosion made two big holes in
the floor of the vault and only lacked a
few inches of making a hole clear
through the north wall Bonds, bills
and drafts were burned and scattered
all over the vault and office
The last statement of the bank
showed cash on hand of about s7,6OS
A large lot of the finest kind of bur
glars tools were left in the bank, indi-
eating that they had left in hurry.
After leaving the bank, the burglars
went to the barn of Joseph Field, in
the west part of town, took his two
horses and four-seated carriage and
drove very rapidly vest toward Kansas
City. The carriage was heard crossing
the bridge across Big Shoal creek, five
miles west Of town, about 4 a. Ill
Leonard Logan and the owner of the
carriage, unaware of the burglary,
started in pursuit early in the morning,
being able to track them on account of
the rain. The team was found a few
yards west of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St Paul railroad bridge, near Ran
dolph. One of the horses was in an
exhausted condition, which probably
caused the robbers to abandon the
team. The men could not be found,
and either crossed to the Jackson coun.
ty side or are hiding in the brush

BUSSEYS ANNUAL REPORT.
Suggestions and Facts About the Nation,
Pensioners.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 95.-The annual
report of Gen. Bussey the assistant
secretary of the interior, has been re.
ceived by Secretary Noble. 1t deals ex-
clusively with the work of the board of
pension appeals, of which the assistant
secretary has direct charge, and with
the purchase of Indian supplies at the
government warehouse in New York. In
his discussion of the pension laws, Gen.
Bussey calls attention toseveral defects
in pension legislation. In order to sup
ply a remedy, he recommends that con-
gress be requested to enact law that
shall expressly authorize the depart
ment to treat all improper, Illegal and
excessive payments of pensions, whether
caused by fraud or mistake, as prepay
ments, to be charged against the cur.
rent pension law, with view TO adj
justing or equalizing current pension
payments within the discretion Of the
secretary. In concluding his report
Gen. Bussey says:
81 am gratified to be able TO say that
the pledge of the nation, expressed a
century ago, that if any person, wheth-
err officer or soldier, militia or regular,
called into the services of the United
States, be wounded or disabled while in
actual service, he shall be taken care Of
and provided for at public expense,
has been redeemed with fidelity. In
compliance with the provisions of the
various pension laws on June 50, 1892,
there were borne on the pension rolls
the names of $50, Os7 pensioners, 10, 92S
more pensioners than were carried on
the same rolls at the end of the preced-
ing fiscal year, and 1850 more than
were on the rolls June 30. 1857"

TAKING A DRINK.

A judge in Mississippi has decided
that it is an indictable offence for a
man to hold an umbrella over his back
while taking drink in a saloon. The
law says: "All bar screens must be re-
moved" and the judge held that the
umbrella is a bar screen. A great
many people glIzzle whisky because it
is the best thing for cold. This is a
mistake, drinking whisky leads to con-
sumption. A whisky cough is the
hardest thing in the world to deal
with. When you take a cold don't
use whisky, but get a bottle Of Reds
German Cough and Kidney Cure.
This will cure you and prevent you
from taking cold the second time so
easily. Ask your druggist for it and
tell him that you want Reds German
Cough and Kidney Cure and nothing
else. He will get it for you. Small
bottles cost twenty-five cents, large
size fifty cents.

Senator Allen was elected chairman when
the Senate organized at the opening Of the
session. That this committee would be
made perm snent was indicated in the dis
patches to the PosT-ISTELIIGEScER several
weeks ago. It is now believed that this
committee will take rank as one of the
leading ones in the upper branch. Senator
Allen will be energetic in preparing in
formation as to this governments rela-
tons with Canada, and will have some
valuable information TO present to the
committee at the different meetings this
session. As has been previously stated,
the state Of Washington will have an adj
vantage. because the Craftsmanship Is held
by one of its senators. That state will
probably receive more benefit from closer
commercial relations with the Canadian
provinces than any other state in the
Union. In view of this state of things,
Senator Allen will be able, as chairman, to
look out for the interests of his state with
greater success than would be possible if
the craftsmanship was in the hands of any
other member Of the Senate.

NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.
Resolutions on Interstate Commerce
Grain Gambling and Finances.

WASHINGTON CRY. Jan. 29-The Ma
tional Board Of Trade today adopted an
address urging congress to pass the Torrey
bankruptcy bill. The committee on
amendments to the interstate commerce
act submitted q number of resolutions,
which were adopted. They are in brief,
that corporations, as well as their agents
and employees, be indictable; that the re-
port and findings of the commission have
the force and effect of reports of masters
In chancery in the case of subsequent
judiciary proceedings, and to authorize
and empower the interstate commerce
commission to employ competent and per-
manent counsel to represent them in any
litigation they find necessary. A resolu-
ton was also adopted urging on the presi-
dent the wisdom of filling vacancies on
the interstate commerce commission by
the appointment of men belonging to the
class OF trained transporters, or capable
merchants or manufacturers
The board then resumed consideration
of resolution opposing the Washburn
bill in regard TO dealing in futures. After
long debate resolution was adopted de.
claring that, while the board recognizes
the evils resulting from excessive trading
in agricultural and other products and
would heartily cooperate in any measure
calculated to restrict such trading
within legitimate limits which would
not seriously interfere with neces-
sary facilities for handling the i'm
mense cereal and other crops of the
country at the smallest practicable expense
and the least possible risk. it deprecates
legislation laying tax upon or interfer-
ing in any way with freedom of CONNER.
cial transactions in such products, whether
for immediate or future delivery, believing
any interference with the established
methods of business men, which are the
result of experience under natural laws
and the necessities of trade, would be Diet.
rimental to the public interests. The res
olution also expresses opposition to the
Butterworth anti-option bill.
The silver question was taken rp and a
resolution adopted memorializing the leg
islative and executive departments of the
national government to promote and Sc
cure at the earliest possible date an inter-
national conference for the adjustment of
fixed ratio between gold and silver, and
declaring that, until such international
ratio is secured, any and all legislation
aiming at free coinage of silver or
repeal of the present law should be stren-
uously opposed. A resolution was also
adopted after much debate asking con-
gress to take steps looking to the equaliza-
tlon OF the money standards and unifca-
ton Of the money systems of the great
commercial nations of the world. The
convention then adjourned.
