Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild, a member
Of the Vienna House, had 4 narrow escape
from a violent death at Fort YenGres last eve
ming. He had come from Carcassonne to join
his yacht the Aurora, and in driving in a car
Rage and pair from the station to the harbour
the pole of the vehicle broke, and caused the
horses to run away. The road, which leads
down q long and very steep incline, has on the
one side an embankment which supports the
Place Castellane, and on the other q deep
preoipice |overhanging the docks of the
Transatlantic Navigation Company. For
some moments the driver completely lost all
control Of his horses, and the equipage, vio-
lently swaying from side to side, started down
the hill at a terrific pace. The Baron and a
relative with him made no attempt to leave
the carnage. and fortunately the driver did
not lose his head. After a short but dread
full period of suspense, he succeeded in drag
ging the horses heads round towards the
wall, and in forcing them to run straight into
It. The shock was, of course extremely
violent, but It was preferable to q fall over
the precipice, and by an extraordinary piece
of good fortune no one received any injury,
although both the horses and carriage
were much damaged. Baron Nathaniel de
Rothsohiid slept en- board his yacht, and
sailed this morning from Port Vendres, bound
South.

There are legends Of beg2ars on horseback,
and an old ballad in many 'fyttes' r~ecounts
the life and the wealth OF the blind mendl-
cant of Bethnal- green and the beauty OF his
daughter Bessie. Annie Israel, twenty-six
years Of age is a beggar who has not yet at
tanned to the dignity Of a horse and side-sad-
die, but she is already comparatively we'll off,
and keeps a servant. Her pitch. IS IN Tot
enham-court-road and between a miserable
appearance and interchangeable importunityshe
manages to earns respectable income. Annie
admitted to the police officer who took her
into custody that she made 9s. a day by
begging, on G3 50 per week. Moreover, in
cold and bleak seasons her regular customers
gave an extra copper, the total thus obtained
on Christmas Day reaching the tidy sum .of
26s. Sometimes when those who kindly
dropped 8 penny in her hand were trudging
home on foot, Annie was able to drive in a
hanson to her residence, where she had a
servant, to whom she paid 4s. a week.
This case shows that we are within mea-

KIMBERLEY XHIBITIoN.-An interesting
paper was read last night before the Society OF
Arts by Mr.. lie wis Atkinson, manager OF the
Kimberley Intern ational Exhibition, upon the
prospects Of that enterprise, which opens next
September. Mr.. Atkinson gave a description
Of Kimberley, quoting from the available
stati sites. to show the mpor ance OF the South
Africa n markets TO British traders. In 1890
goods were imported into South Africa 70 the
value If els, 7O8, geo, an increase Of To. 600,
900 in five years. The exports, exclusive Of
diamonds. were worth over ,fG. 100000 III

augmented its output forty-two times. 1t Is
believed bN some authorities that during the
twenty-five years Of working the diamond
mines have produced stones worth 4Il,090,

NEW SILVER PLAN.
Views of Finan ciers on tho Proposal OF
Rothschiid.

Rothschiid.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. % - De
RothschIld's proposal to the lnterna-
tlonal Monetary Conference 10 bind the
European powers 10 purchase annually
SO, 900 900 worth of silver. the nited
States to continue the monthly purchase
of 81 800. Geo, meets with general ap-
prOVal IN government financial circles.
1t is not what this country wanted.
Nothing short of absolute bi-metalllsm
would SATISFY its wants. But officials
here believe that De Rothschild's s pro-
p0sals, if adopted, would be of great
benefit TO tins country and relieve the
strain of the situation and inspire the
public with confidence in the future. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Cannon, the
American delegate. has been working IN
harmony with De Rothschlld and that
he will continue to do SO. And 1t IS IN
timated that the fixing or the two most
important features o! the proposals,
namely, the amount tc be purchased by
Europe and the continuation OF this
country's purchases, is in the main
chiefly due TO Cannon's argument that
such purchase will, III tire aggregate,
nearly equal the annual output OF the
silver mines of the world.
Lyman j. Gage, the Chicago banker,
has a favorable opinion of De Roths-
child's proposals: THE proposals are
eminentlv fair" he said to day. They
are plainly meant to place a disagree
able burden on many shoulders instead
of one. The question has long been
one which everybody wished someone
else to solve. No one wanted to- no one
could solve II alone. OF course there are
many details which viii have TO be ar
ranged, but at first glance | think the
proposals in general are merltOrlous
and certainly worthy of careful consid-
Grafton. | do not believe that the fail
ure of the conference to come to some
agreement Will precipltate panic, at
least not at present, although the price
of silver would doubtless be depressed. }"
Senator Patt, referring to De Roth
schild's proposals, said: They lndl-
cate an appreciation of the difficulties
of the monetary situation. 1t is cratl-
fviug in that respect because We had
been led 10 suppose that the embarrass-
mcnt growing out of the short supply of
gold vas not appreciated in England as
in this country. Whether the plan
would relieve the situation or not |
can't say. | hardly see why, if Euro
pean powers are willing 10 go to the
extent OF 50, 900, 600 annually for coin
age, they should be afraid to go on an
agreed basis Of bi-metalllsm.'

The Presidents Father-In-Law Dead.

WASHINGTON, ID, C., Nov. 29.-Dr.
Scott, President Harrison's father-in-
law, died this afternoon at 40. The
aged invalid passed away without q
struggle, as quietly and as peacefully as
a child falls asleep. He had been un-
conscious for hours. The President
and family are very much prostrated at
their bereavement. They spent the
entire day at his bedside. DR.. Gardner
visited the sick room this morning at .
a'clock, and found that the case was be-
vond the power of medical skill.
Dr.. Scott has proved q most remark.

much longer than his family even hoped
for. Notwithstanding bis 93 years he
had enjoyed exceptionally good health
up TO the time OF his last sickness,
and his mental vlgor seemed
to have kept full pace with

WHY COAL KINGS ARE POOR.
President Of the Trust Says They Receive
No Profits.


PHGIADEIrHIA, Pa, Nov. 29.-Ihe
congressional committee TO investigate
the Reading Railroad coal combine met
here this morning. President Mcleod,
Of the Reading Company, was the first
witness. Mr. Mcleod was questioned
principally by Mr.. Beach, and
that gentleman line OF questions
was directed mainly TO discover the
traffic rates on coal, and the effect upon
The coal business and the consumer OF
the monthly meetings of the coal sales
AGENTS. Mr.. Mcleod said the action by
the sales agents were not necessarily
binding, but that their ADVICE
was gene ally followed. Mr.. Me
Iced said that II there was
no concert of action among tne
coal producers the market would quick
" become glutted and prices would be
advanced higher than they are now.
He also said that many OF the lndlNld-
nal coal producers IN the anthracite re-
oions we're on the verge OF BANK
rnptcy when he arranged TO BUY
thair coal. Another result OF the
iack ef concert among the coal pro-
Incars would be lowering OF the
niners' wares. The Reading Coal Com
many has never, Mr.. Mcleod said, got
fan reasonable profit IN the market
tor its coal. and that is what II IS striF-
IN, ~ 10. Mr.. Mcleod said that the
miners of the Reading Company as
holy were receiving 100000 more no"
than in 1891, whether they worked or
