CHANCELLOR cAPRWI RESIGNS
He Cannot Agree With the Emperor on
the Education Bill.

Chancellor CaprIvi offered HIS resignation
at the cabinet meeting on the 18th, as a re
suit of protracted contest on the education
bill which the chancellor, as PrussIan pre-
mier, has championed from :he first At this
moment there Is no definite information as TO
the action Of the kaiser on the premier's reslg-
nation. 1t IS known that the kaiser has ap-
pretended for some time movement Of the
kind on Caprvi's part and has also been much
disconnected BY the trouble which the educa-
ton bill has aroused.
The immediate cause Of Caprivrs resigna-
ton is said to be that, at the cabinet meeting
the kaiser emphatically stated that he favored
material modification of the education bill
As Caprivi had substantially stated in the
Landtag that he would stand or fan by the
bill as it was, he felt bound in honor to re-
sign. Chancellor Csprivi IS known TO have in
q high degree the soldiers sense of honor
and fidelity to his word, and he is not likely
10 eat his words as Minister Won Gossier did
The kaiser's choice now is either to force the
bill through as it is, or TO accept Caprivi's
resignation. The kaiser Is known to be
deeply attached 10 Caprivi, and # Is thought
he may insist upon the Conservative and III
tramontane combination in the Landtag to
pass the bill.
The resignation Of Minister Zedlitz Trutz-
schler Is necessitated, 81 the bin is seriously
modified or withdrawn. by the fact that he
created the education bill from beginning to
end and submitted It to the cabinet in the
form in which it was to be presented to the
House without any previous consultation with
his colleagues, as is customary.
If Caprivi's resignation should be accepted
his successor would probably be johannes
MIGUEL, Prussian minister of finance, who for
more than two years has stood in the highest
favor with the emperor, and who has all
along been lukewarm If not positively hostile
to the education bill.

A MOURNFUL TRAGEDY.
A YOUNG WIFE BECOMES IN
SANE.
Caused by the Death of her Husband In
Coal Mine.

John Traynor, fire boss in one OF the
largest collieries around Coal Run in schuyl-
kill County, Pennsylvania, entered the mine
about o'clock on the 10th, as was his Gus
tom, TO examine the chambers and test tae
gas. This was the last seen of him alive. His
young wife became alarmed at his absence
and besought her neighbors to search the
mine. A party was accordingly organized
and twelve miners made \ thorough search OF
the works without finding him.
When the news was broken to the wife she
became distracted, and it was feared for
time that she would go mad. However, she
became strangely calm and said she was GER
tain her husband would be found.
A few days later Mrs. Traynor disappeared.
1t was supposed the loss of her husband had
unbalanced her mind, and that she had wan
dered of to the mountains, Her fate re
manned mystery until last Monday, when a
party of mine surveyors who were examining
some of the workings stumbled on the solu-
ton.
On entering an old breast close to the man
way they heard a human voice in the dark
ness some distance beyond They listened In
tently and were startled TO recognize the
voice as that OF woman cooling softly the
courage they erawled to the place and by the
light of their lamps beheld wild-eyed wo-
man holding in her lap the head of a man ap-
parenuy dead. She swayed gently from side
TO side while she sung. The awe-strlcken
men were about to retreat when one Of them
recognized her as Mrs. Traynor.
Gently they lifted her up, then she raised a
cry Of despair and tainted. She was brought
TO the surface at once and borne to her desc
late home, followed by the dead body OF her
young husband She is now a raYing maniac.
1t is supposed that when she disappeared she
made directly for the manway and stumbled
across the body of her husband, who had been
caught by fall of top coal on his way out,
and that the discovery had turned her brain.
The neighbors are doing all they can for the
afflicted woman, but it is feared that her ter
rible experience in the mine has dethroned
her reason forever.

A short time ago President Harrison asked
the British government TO consent 10 renew

Lord Salisbury's note may be described as
synopsis of the detailed reply to the state de
partment note which is to follow by mail
His refusal TO consent to a renewal OF the
modus Yivendi is accompanied by several
counter propositions, the reading OF which
was received with Unsurpassed Irritation by
the Senate. The general character of the
note is described as eyaslye and equiyocatns'
The Presidents rejolnder was also trans

Salisbury has not met his oyertures In a

President insists upon a renewal OF the modus

irrelevant conditions, and closes his note
with the stirring assertion that II the govern

JUDGES JAILED FOR CONTEMPT
But They Live High and Take it Easy.

Three judges of Cass county, Missouri, are
in jail for contempt Of court, Several years
ago the county voted nearly two million dol
lars in bonds for new railroads, bat the rail-
roads were never built, and the officers Of the
county refused to make levy 70 pay the
bonds. The parties who bought the bonds
brought suit and the judges were ordered to
make the levy. Refusing TO DO so they werc
ordered into custody for contempt Of court on
the 22nd. OF course they have the support Of
their constituents, who arc doing all that they
can to make life easy for them.
A room on the second floor Of the counry
court house has been furnished and set apart
for their use, and It viii not be deemed neccs
sary to have an officer stand guard al the

go about the city at their pleasure, but are
honor bound not TO leave the county without
permission.
The judges take their Imprisonment cheer
fully, aud say they viii remain in custody
until their term Of office e1plrcs rather than

limits. To begin with. assessors
should be guided in their valuations
by a sincere desire to deal justly in

every other consideration they should
be governed in their estimates not by
the past but by the present actual

The general desire OF those who
have interested themselves in the
problems afforded by study of this
legislation has been that nearer ap-
proach to uniformity should be made,
that the legislatures of the several
states should frame laws OF essentially
the same character and that thus the
homogeneous and harmful complica-
tions of the marriage relation which
are now possible should be prevented
in the future The public is sufficient

complications, and does not need to

TO-DAY our daily papers seem to
take especial delight in serving up a
chapter of horrors and perhaps they
come properly under the head OF le-
gitimate news as almost every man
of mature age has friend or relative
in nearly every state of the union, and
desires to know the news from there
as much as from town in his own
county. But when all are accumu.
lated together they certainly appear
to be a formidable list as compared
with the few that the reader learned

state fifty years ago. II he obtained
news now from no farther away than
he did then. the list would not be as
large.
