a Warming TO II i'm

a Warning to him.
PARIS, Dec. 26.-The Matin today
says that M. Anton ProSt, one of the
members of the chamber of deputies
who is threatened by the prosecution
because of his connection with the
Panama scandal, is suffering from con-
gestion Of the brain. The paper adds
that his family refuse to give any in
formation regarding his condition.
The Eclar publishes today an inter-
view with ArtOn, the gO-between in the
Panama affair, in the course of which
he says that his papers are in the place
where they are safe from prying in
vestigators, and nobody would be able
to get copies of them. He declared that
he did not desire to be mixed up in the
present campaign, in which he was no
wise concerned. He added that lie
would refuse TO return to France, even
with safe conduct, remarking sig
nificantly that he regarded Baron de
Reinach'S death as a waning to him.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-The Morning Post.
after expressing the opinion that the
Dublin explosionghad political origin,
says: mot in vain has Mr.. Morley
Striven to unmuZzle the agencies of
crime in Ireland. Where he has given
an inch the recipients of his misplaced
leniency have taken an ell. The re-
lease of the Gweedore murderers is fol-
lowed by an explosion equaling in
Sickening and inhuman character any
thing that has preceded it. We can
only say that it rests with the English
men to meet this deed of wickedness
with language which shall bring Mr.
Morleys cringing and crouching policy
to speedy end"
The Times says: "This terrible crime
is striking comment upon Mr.. Nor
ley's latest act of homage to his masters.
The outrage appears to have been de
signed and executed in general accord
ance with the methods of Clan-na-Gael
emissarieS."
The Standard: This crime should
serve to convince Mr.. Morley of the
futility of the hopes he has based on
the policy of conciliati0n. 1t has lather
spoit the effect of the pretty device
for allowing Gweedore murderers to re-
turn to their families for Christmas"
The Daily News editorially says:
"The motive Of the Dublin explosion
probably was a private grudge. 1t can
not bp denied, however. that the Seces-
sion of the Parnellite5 has caused re-
crudescence of criminal elements which
might have been eXtinguisbed alto
gether had the Irish party renamed in
tact. 1t is absurd to connect the outrage
with the Daily matter. Mir. Morley has
no power to release DAILY from an Eng
liSh prison."
The News publishes also an interview
with the Dublin chief of police, Mall0n,
who thinks the explosion was the work
of the irresponsible gang to which
should be attributed the outrages at the
National Press Office ana at Dublin
castle year ago-probabIy by Kicking
the explosive from the wall, Chief Mall
lon says. Detective SinnOtt saved the
lives OF most of the twenty detectives
who were asleep in the Office.
The Chronicle says: "The Dublin
outrage Will not affect the political situ-
alton. 1t should not cause Mr. Morley
to deviate hairs breadth from his aD-
pointed task. 1t is almost certain that
the blow emanates from the dynamite
party, which has never ceased to resent
Mr. Parnell's taking the control OF the
movement from them and transmitting
it into constitutional instead OF crimi-
nal enterprise"

NO DANGER OF WAR.
Chilli and Argentina Differences
Settled Satisfactorily.

VALPARAISO, Dec. 26.-Ail danger of
serious trouble between Chilli and Ar
gentina over the offensive pamphlet
issued by Chilian Minister Guerrero
and Bianchi Tupper has apparently dis
appeared. 1t is not probable that war
will result from their statements that
they bribed telegraph operators iii Ar
gentina to reveal the secrets sent to
Europe by Balmaceda during the revo-
luton in Chill. The correspondent at
Buenos Ayres teleeraphs that Blanchi
Tupper has made public statement as
Stunning entire responsibility of the
charges made in the pamphlet and de-
claring that Minister Guerrero took no
part III their publication.
Minister Guerrero had an interview
with The Argentina minister of foreign
affairs, and is said to have made salts
factory explanation. but he announces
that he will forward his resignation as
minister to the government of Chilli.
Chili's attitude on the question was
discussed yesterday during secret
session of congress at Santiago. The
Chilian minister of foreign affairs,
Senior Errazurz, does not regard the
trouble seriously. The officers of the

THE nALANCN OF TRADE.

During the campaign Of education
which it Naged, and of which the gen.

excess OF exports over imports was
liquidated in good, yellow gold, and
that, therefore, the policy, Mckinley

Imports and make always a comfortable
balance of trade on our side of the
ledger, would turn the golden tide into

mixed as its argument. If that "mOSt

devised" is toshow the anticipated re-

The free traders maintained that
"balances" were not paid that way;
that exports and imports were practi-
cally exchanges, and that if one did not
buy lie could not sell. That is, if we
put obStructions in the way of imports

THE DUBLIN EXPLOSION.
1t Is Believed to BE Due to Per-
sonal Spite.

sOnal Spite.
DUBLIN. Dec. 26.-Chiet Secretary
Morley, accompanied by MIR. Macder-
mott, the attorney general, and by Sc
Iicitor General Hemphiil, visited tie
spot where the explosion occurred and
made careful investigation. Pending
the arrival Of Col. Vivian de Magendi,
chlef Inspector of explosives, the scene
OF the wreck is left untouched, Just as
after the occurrence. so that Col. Ma
gendi may determine tine nature of the
explosive used. Though there is scarcely
a doubt, save in the mind of the Tories,
that the whole affair was due to per-
sonal spite or perhaps to desire to
bring diScIedit upon Mr.. Morley'S ad-
mlnlStratlOn, the excitement among
the officials and residents continues
A cOrOner'S Inquest was held today on
the body of Detective SinnoIt. who lost
his lite by the explosion at the detective
office. Detective Greene testified that
he traversed Exchange court five min
uteS before the explosion occurred. He
saw brown parcel in shape resembling
book lying i'll the footpath opposite
the detective office. He dld not eX-
anime the parcel, and could therefore
give no detailed description Of il. 1t
did not strike him that the package con-
tanned an explosive; in fact, he paid no
attention to it, but entered the office.
Dr. Smith, of the JeryiS street hospital.
to which Detective Sinnott was re-
moved, also testified, detailing at length
the terrible Injuries sustained by the
officer.
Thousands of people have taken adj
vantage of the holiday today to 20 amt
stare at the locality which witnessed
the tragic death of Detective SinnOtt,
who lost his life by the explosion at the
Dublin detective Office. In order to
prevent intrusion on the scene. the po-
lice put up a chain as a barrier across
the entrance to Exchange court, and a
strong force of police stood outside the
chain to restrain the great thrOng from
pressing over or under. Extra police
and military patrols have been detailed
to guard most of the public buildings in
the city, and no one is allowed to lOter
in their vicinity for any length of time.
The cOroner's jury, after hearing the
evidence of several witnesses, rendered
a verdict that the explosion was due TO

Chicago Tribune.
The following from "The Handbook
of Plots; or, Every Man His Own Nov
eiist," offers an excellent opportunity
for display of originality in treatment
and style. OF course the young novelist
can fill out to suit himself:
The beautiful girl was engaged to the
wealthy bachelor, but was in love with
the young man.
The young man urged the beautiful
girl to break the engagement andm AIRY
him. but she said: ALAS, too late. The
wedding day is fixed"
III.
The wealthy bachelor, fearful that he
might lose the beautiful girl, took out
marriage license as matter of precau
ton and waved it tantaiizingly in the
face Of the beautiful girl.
".
The beautiful girl grew desperate,
and listened more attentlvely to the
headings of the young man. ''Would
lnat | could. George" she said, but he
already has the license" She really
didn't say ''Would that could" but it
is customary to put it that way in
novels. 1t reads better.
V.
s'I.et not that trouble you" is the way
a novelist would have put what the
young man said, and he hurried to the
club and stole the marriage license out
OF the wealthy bachelors overcoat
pocket.
"You are mine.!' cried the young
man as he rushed breathleSSly into the
beautiful girls presence. "But we must
be quick. We must get move OH our
selves-hnd clergyman who does not
know us or all will be lost"
VII.
The beautiful girl held that such de-
yotion. courage and integrity should be
rewarded, especially as she was anxious
to reward it in the usual noyelistic way,
and after crying, 80, dear. this is SO un
expected" she put on her wraps AMI
went with him.
"Mr. Manu." said the young man
with smile of triumph few hours
later, "permit me to introduce my wife.

rupted the wealthy bachelor.

the young man.

SIMPLIFY LAND TRANSFERS.

L
Two years ago the legislature created
a commission OF three. to be men OF
learning and experience, to examine
into the merits of the SO-caled IOrrenS
or Australian system of land transfers,
and TO report on the operation OF that
law where tried, and also TO report a
bill embodying its features, and submit
the same to the coming legislature. The
governor appointed the commission
with, if we remember Alright. Mr.
GREER at the head, and we suppose 1T
will in due time make its report. Hi
nois appointed similar commission and
it has made its report to the governor,
describing the methods of the system
and submitting bill for adoption.
The main feature of the system, which
is not Australian i'll its origin, having
been adopted and in use in Prussia, Ba-
varia and Hamburg for over hundred
years, is the abolition of the need OF
proving title by successive and com
plete chain of conveyances from the
government down to the last grantee,
thus eliminating the need of an ever
lengthening abstract. with the recuIrent
charge Of counsel for examination OF the
title at each transfer. In varodS forms
of action, from a decision of court in a
regular action to quiet and confirm title
in the occupant, to a simple shortening
OF the period of prescription to five
years, the title is settled indefeasibly in
the occupant. Thereafter transfers
may be by the usual cunveyances. or by
a surrender to the registrar Of titles OF
the certificate Of title issued on the adj
judlcation, and the issue by him to the
transferee of new one. If conveyance
is made by deed it is not recorded, nor
are mortgages which may be made, the
entry in the register of either being all
that is required. In some countries a
small fee is charged. which goes into an
indemnity fund to recompense those
who have valid title adverse to that
adjudIcated, but the Illinois commission
ers omit this because, they say, the eX
perience of other countries is that such
fund is not needed, such claims, sue
