FINANCIAL PROSPECTS.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Henry Clews, in his
weekly financial circular, says:
''If we may give full credit to what is
reported from Washington as TO the gov
ernment's advices from its agents deputed
to ascertain the feasibility of assembling
a congress to re-establsh silver upon an
international basis-there is very
unexpected disposition, amounting almost
to anxiety, on the part of European
governments, including England, TO con-
slider such proposals; and the overtures
openly made by Ch ncellor Goschen
certainly give not a little credibility TO
these reports. Should it turn out, within
the next few months, that the principal
nations are willing to bind themselves.
along with the United States, to coin
silver without limit rs to amount, at the
ratio of 1515 to l, and to constitute such
coin legal tender equally with gold, the
effect would be to place the now sensitive
national banks OF Europe upon broader
footing of available reserves. to infuse
new confidence into all the financial en-
ters, and to substitute, for the distrust
caused by one-half the worlds metallic
money being now unavailable for lnterna-
tional use, the buOyancy that would
naturally follow the restoration of silver
to its old time universal availability. We
are inclined to regard this contingency as
being sufficiently probable to warrant its
realized. dark shadow would be lifted
from a large class of our securities against
which there is now a distinct discrimina-
tion, especially abroad, as being possibly
payable in silver.
$50 far as respects the prospects arising
from purely domestic conditions, they are
almost without exception favorable to the
value OF stocks. The abundant crops can
hardly fail to produce a better state of
general trade than existed through 1891.
The earnings of the railroads, net as well
as gross, afford promise of surprising ALI
precedent. The flush condition of the
bank reserves, the promise of further
considerable return of gold from Europe,
and the continued issue of over 81, 100000
of silver currency per month, have COM
biued tendency to produce an abundance
of money and low rates of interest; which
would strongly favor an improvement in
the market value of stocks aud bonds
alike, and conduce to activity in specula-
?

MEXICAN NOTES.

CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 4-The latest
news from the state of Durango is very
bad. Though the government Is trying TO
conceal the fact and is giving out contrary
accounts. il is now well known that the
stories heretofore received are not exagger-
ated, and that many people are suffering
from starvation. IL is said that il the gov
erument continue deaf to the cry of the
suffering, an uprising of the people may
be expected.
In Puebla a revolution was only averted
by the general governments backing
down after arresting the priests in two~of
the thirty converts in Puebla. GarZa's
revolutionary movement is becoming n
more important matter than the govern
ment is willing to admit. 1t is an open
secret here that CARA is receiving money
from both persons in Mexico and the
United States.

ARKANSAS OUTLAWS.

PINE BLUFF. Jan. 4-LinwOod, village
twelve miles from here, is in Il ferment of
excitement, caused by the work of a mob
of dozen negroes led by a white man
named Puryear. 1t appears that this
band has been terrorizing the settlers on
the frontier. Its members have been circu-
lating petitions for the removal of the
railroad station some distance south of
its present location; but they were strongly
opposed by DR.. Bryan. weil-to-do citizen
In revenge the desperadoeS visited the
Doctors gin and set it on fire, burning it
10 the ground. They then fired the depot
and proceeded through the streets, firing
their Winchesters into the houses as they
went along, with the view of keeping the
villagers in doors. The depot was totally
destroyed. The sheriff Immediately organ
lied a posse and at last accounts had
lodged Puryear and three OF his gang in
Jail. The pecuniary loss will not be great.
but the citizens are determined to rid the
community of the band, and have thor
oughly organized themselves into vigi-
lance committee.

Rather a Curious Accident.

We have just learned of a curious ac-
cident which Refell the team of Otto
Barber, of near Dixonville, recently.
Some time ago Mr.. Barber in prospect
ing for coal dug a hole in one of his
fields about sixteen feet deep, and sue
ceeding in finding the coal he filed the
hole up again, and going down the hill
to the proper place started drift, the
mine passing directly under the place
where he had been prospecting. A few
weeks ago he was narrowing in the field
and his team passed over the site, when
the loose earth gave way suddenly, car
rying both horses down. the timbers be-
ing the only thing to prevent them from
going clean into the coal mine.
Mr.. Barber'S first thought was that his
team was lost, and that the best thing to
do was to cut the animals throats and
bury them where they were. But upon
further thought he went to neighbors,
the mine out and let the horses clean
down into the banks. Then, tying their
feet together to prevent them from strug-
Cling, he dragged each animal out of the
mine by the means of a long cable and
team at the entrance.
1t was about fifty feet from the mouth
of the bank to where the horses fell in.
and beyond a few bruises the animals
were not much injured, and were able
to go to work again after a days rest

Sailing Over subm marine Craters.

The American bark Hesper has ar
rived from KoDe, after an excellent pas
sage Of twenty-seven days, with a full
cargo of tea and d graphic account of an
experience with submarine volcano,
hot sea water and sulphurous gases.
Captain Sodergren states that about
6:45 a. m. Oh Oct. 2S, while laying at
anchor in Kobe, the bark received sud-
den shock that caused the masts to strain
and creak. Some of the standing rig
ging snapped like piece of twine and
all hands We're thrown from their feet.
The vessel pitched heavily and caused
one of the crosstrees to break from its
fastenings and fall on deck. The waters
became still an hour later and the bark
put to sea.
Early on the morning of Oct. 80, when
about seventy-five miles off the Japan
coast, the bark was almost thrown on
her beam ends by the sudden eruption
of a submarine volcano. The water be-
came so hot that when sea was shipped
on deck the crew took to the rigging
The heat became so intense that the
pitch in the deck was melted and the
seams opened.
''Great blasts of hot air with a strong
sulphurous SMELL" said the captain yes
terday, ''would come up from the break
ing surface Of the ocean and almost suf-
focate us for the moment. Then the
membrane of the nostrils became irri-
tated, causing US all to have d fit Of
sneezing. This phenomenon lasted for
several hours. have had all l want Of

Climbed Down a Crater.

c. Webster, an American newspaper
correspondent, had an experience at the
crater of Kilauea few weeks ago which
might have cost him his life, but which
luckily allowed him TO escape with only
a few burns aud bruises. He accom-
plished a feat never before done by any
tourist and by only few native guides,
that of going down to the surface of the
crater and getting specimens OF the fiery
lava. This he succeeded IN doing in
company with guide, and twice came
near falling into the abyss on account Of
being overcome with the sulphuric gas
Of the crater. The guide saved him both
times, though not without having suf-
fered some bruises.

old level Of last March. and if the pres
ent lake continues TO rise at its present
rate there viii be an overflow III about

THE CHICAGO ANARCHIST RAIDS.

CHICAGO, Jan. A morning paper pub
fishes a sensational story, protesting to
give the inside history of couple of raids
by the police upon meetings of alleged
anarchists in November last The first
was by Inspector Hubbard upon a meet
ing at the West Twelfth street Turner
hail, where he compelled the leaders to
display the American flag prominently on
the platform. The next, II couple of days
later. was by Inspector Lewis. who raided
Griefs hall, broke into couple of rooms
occupied by labor organizations and de-
stroyed some property in an alleged search
for discriminating documents. A number
of men were also arrested.
Soon after the Haymarket riot of 1886,
a secret meeting of 300 wealthy citizens
was held, at which an organization was
formed to help stamp out anarchy. Over
500, 900 in money was raised, with the un-
derstanding that it was to be used to in
spire vigilance on the part of the police.
1t is related that of these contributions,
ranging from Sl4, 600 to $780, annually,
in the aggregate nearly 5000 600 was paid.
Last October the committee called meet
ing of the contributors and explained that
there seemed to be no further use for the
organization. 1t was resolved to make no
more contributions. This, the story goes
on to say, was not satisfactory TO the
police, who had been the beneficiaries of
the fund, and they set to work to con-
vince the members of the disbanded So
cety that anarchy was still alive and
active, with the raids as results. 1t is not
said that the inspectors who made the
raid were in the conspiracy, and Chief of
Police McClaughrey is eXonerated from all
blame in the matter

A suggestion tnat the course of in
struction in our public schools might
properly include stenography and the
use Of the typewriter has brought out
the fact-not generally known before
that the city OF Lynn has already intro
duced these studies IN the evening
schools Of Lynn-as, indeed, IN those Of
Boston-there have been classes IN short
hand for a number of years,
TypewTlting has been taught in these
schools for one year, and IN the Lynn
English high school for Vet longer
time. The results are said 70 be very
eucourae ing. There would seem 10 BE
no reason why such instruction should
not be included IN the course OF oF

LONDON, Jan. To-day a Salvation
Army band of sixty on the way to hold 4
meeting on the beach was followed by a
large mob. The Salvationists were hooted
all the way TO the beach. Upon arriving
st the beach, the band all knelt in prayer,
and the mob again yelled aud booted. The
;Salvaticnists then all linked arms in
order better to Withstand an attack if a
rush were made. The police made no at
tempt to quell the mob, although a num-
Der were on the beach.
The mob finally swooped down on the
devoted band scattering them in wild dis
order. Many of them were struck, kicked
and otherwise i'll treated. The Salvationists
using musical instruments were singled
out for more than the usual brutal treat
ment. The mob got possession of the in
struments, and, after smashing them out
of shape, threw them into the sea.
At this point detachment of mounted
police took a hand in the proceedings
Under orders from their commanding Off
Ger, they charged upon the crowd like
squadron of cavalry. They made no dis
tlnctiOn between men and women They
rode down upon the crowd. trampling the
rowdies, male and female alike under
their horses feet. Many of the crowd
were severely hurt by the iron shoes of the
horses.
The Salvationists declare that the police,
instead of protecting them. deliberately
struck them and rode over them. Their
clothes were torn and their hats lost. A
number of women lost their skirts and
jackets in the wild rush following the
charge of the police, these garments being
torn off Of them in the desperate struggle
10 escape being trampled upon by the
horses.
Among the melee the standard of the
Salvation Army fell into the hands of the
enemy. Some of the Salvationists charged
upon the mob to regain their flag, and "a
fierce fight resulted, against almost over
whelming odds. Finally the Salvationists
regained their standard, and, under rain
of blows they succeeded in getting away
from the mob.
With the flag in their possession, after
some little time the Salvationists, show
ing the marks of ill-treatment they re-
ceived rallied around their standard
bearer, and, surrounded by the police.
marched back to their barracks. Despite
this protection, they were not safe from
attack while on the way to their barracks.
The mob several times charged upon
them and the police were almost power
less TO prevent injuries being inflicted.

The GERMAN SOCIALISTS

BERLIN, Jan. A sensation was caused
here by the publication in Socialist papers
of confidential circular sent by the gov
ernment to the directors of the different
state railways. The labor agitators are
seeking to make political capital out of the
circular, which they aver plainly shows
that the government is inimical to the in
terests of the laboring classes. The circu-
lar declares, in effect, that the present
financial position is such as to render
necessary the adoption of a policy of re-
trenchment and the directors of the state
railways are Informed that they must re-
duce the wages of the employees and dis
miss all whose services can possibly be dis
pensed with. How the Socialists got
possession OF the circular is a mystery.
