STEAL BLAlNE'S THUNDER.

Canadians Propose Reciprocity With Eng
land-No Hope for a Treaty With the
United states-America Said to Have an
Unfriendly Spirit
OTTAWA, April 25.-In the House OF
Commons to-day, Member McNeill moved a
resolution to the effect that ii the Parlia-
ment of Great Britain and ireland admits
Canadian products to markets of the United
Kingdom upon more favorable terms than
it accords to the products offoreign counties,
the Parliament of Canada be prepared to
accord corresponding advantages by re-
duction in the duties it imposes on British
manufactured goods. He spoke at great
length in support Of his motion, producing
voluminous arguments in support of the
success of the English policy of free trade
He quoted the Hon. Oliver Mowat,
Premier of Ontario, when he said that
proof of the untriendly spirit entertained
by the American Republic was shown in
their schools, their Fourth of July speeches
and diplomatic dispatches
Member Hazen followed, advocating the
motion, saying that Canada would reap
great benefit if she could send her goods at
a ten per cent advantage into Great Britain
and admit British goods at a similar advan-
tage. Statesmen of free trade tendencies
should endeavor to secure preferential duties
At present it seemed useless to hope for a
reciprocity treaty with the United States
as it was evident that such treaty could
only be obtained by giving American pro-
ducts an advantage over the manu-
features and products of Great Britain.

CHEMISTRY OF GRAssHOPPERs

The Insect Furnishes Good Formic Acid
and Considerable Copper.
Some very important uses for grasshop-
pers have recently been discovered There
would seem to be no reason why they should
not be applied to commercial advantage in
the event of plague this year. Not long
ago four quarts of liquid. expressed from
half bushel of choppers" under a cheese
press, were shipped in glass jar from
Spirit Lake. Ia, to Prof William K. Ked-
ze, of the Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege. He made complete analysis, and by
distilling the juice with suIphuric acid, OBJ
tained colorless limpid solution of formic
acid. Now, this acid is very valuable, having
present market quotation of 60
cents an ounce. 1t is not only employed in
medicine to a considerable extent, but is
also utilized in the laboratory to reduce
salts of the noble metals, gold, silver and
platinum. Hitherto it has always been ex-
tracted from red ants, but the possibility of
getting it in large quantities from grasshop-
pers suggests method for employing those
insects to an unlocked for advantage
An interesting feature of the analysis
was the discovery of certain amount of
copper in the liquid. This metal has beeu
found in the blood of other animals, par
ticularlv in that of the horseshoe crab,
which always furnishes trace of it. 1t is
not suggested, however, that grasshoppers
would assay sufficient amount of copper
to make it worth while to smelt them.

YELLOW FEVER VICTIMS

BY the Score Reported Every Day at Rio
Janeiro-Sometimes $50 in a Day-Other
Diseases Swell the TotaI-The Epidemic
in Other Cities.
RIO DE JANEIRo, April 25.-The ques-
lions which apparently gives the Govern
ment most concern at present are those of
public health and the increased cost of liv-
ing. The mortality caused by yellow fever,
the growth of which had been checked
by heavy rains, is again increasing,
and as is usually the case when yellow fever
prevails here, there are at the same time
many deaths from other fevers On the 18th
there were in this city, according to official
statistics, 145 deaths, the largest number
that has been reported for one day this
year. Of these 56 were caused by yellow
fever. 26 by other fevers, and number by
a violent disease, the action of which was
exceedingly rapid, sometimes causing those
attacked by 1t to drop dead in the streets.
On the 10th 6S deaths from yellow fever
were officially reported, but the number of
deaths from all causes was not as great on
that dav as it was on the 18th. 1t is gen.
orally asserted that there are many more
deaths than those officially reported, and it
has even been said that the average number
from yellow fever alone was $50 day, but
this is regarded as an exaggeration.
The epidemic has extended from this city
and Santos to the interior of the States of
Sac Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas
Geraes Some of the small towns have
been almost entirely abandoned by their in
hahtants

CHICAGO, April 25.-About 100 men,

sophical Society were present at to-day's
session of the annual convention. The gen.
eral secretary was instructed to devise

York; Alexander Fullerton, New York; A..

@. Judge, New York. Mr.. Heresheimer
was elected Treasurer, and William O..
Judge was reelected General Secretary.
Among the "a councillors elected was Ella
Wheeler Wilcox.
Secretary Judge explained why Mahat-
mas were usually found in the Himalayas.
lea where Mahatmas might exist, every
newspaper man in the United States would
find them out and interview them and choke
out of them the secrets they have. Do you
think Mahatmas could live in Chicago, in
New York? No; they would be asked to
advertise There is no reverence in the
American people. Mahatmas could not
exist here. That is why they are found in
the utmost businesses of the Himalayas.
The remainder of the day and evening
was occupied in the reading and discussion
of papers on theosophical subjects.

ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS GATHERING

In Readiness for the Convention at Spring-
field To-Morrow.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL. April 25.-Delegates
to Wednesdays Democratic State Conven-
tion are already assembling in this city in
large numbers. 1t is generally conceded
tonight that John P. Altgeld, of Chicago,
will be nominated for Governor on
the first ballot, as his only actual
competitor, John G. Black, ex-Com-
missioner of Pensions, does not seem
to be making any appreciable headway.
There is every indication of lively contest
over the Presidential question. United
States Senator Palmer has an unquestioned
majority of the State delegates uninstructed
for his support, but there is strong move
ment among certain Southern Illinois dele
gates against any instruction whatever OF
delegates to the National Convention.
There seems to be little doubt of the
spirit of the delegates to give Palmer cor
dial Endorsement, the only question being
whether the delegates will be positively in
structed to vote for him in the National
Convention. Palmer himself nas distinctly
stated he will be satisfied with general in
dorsement, the delegates being merely in
structed to vote as unit at the Chicago
Convention for whoever they may deem the
most available candidate.

A Mother Suicides in the Presence Of Her
1O-Year-Old Son.
READING, April 25.-Mrs. John Meterko
died at St. Joseph's Hospital to-day, the
result of having slashed her throat with a
razor yesterday afternoon. The woman had
been great sufferer during the
past ten weeks, as result of strain re-
ceived from lifting too heavily, and was con-
fined to her bed. Yesterday afternoon she Sc
cured a carving knife, with which she at
tempted to cut her throat, but as the knife
was dull, only succeeded in scratching the
skin. Calling her 10-year-old son into the
room she requested him to bring her his
fathers razor.
The boy complied, when no sooner had
she the razor in her hand than she opened
it, and with one slash cut her throat from
ear to ear. The son, Mortified at the sight,
ran from the house and informed the neigh
bors. The woman was soon afterward taken
to the hospital, where she became very
violent. tearing the bandages from her
throat, and it was with great difficulty that
she was quieted. She grew weaker until
she expired.

The Wealthy Senator Wouldn't Consider a
Third Party Nomination.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Teller
was kept busy to-day denying the statement
that he is interested in third party move
ment, the basis of which will be the Farm
ers' Alliance, aud asserting that he has no
Presidential aspirations. The article which
caused the Senator SO much annoyance ap-
peared in number of papers, and reported
that he favored party which would
adopt free coinage of silver as its
platform, and would seek votes from
theDemocratic and Republican parties alike.
There is absolutely no truth in the state
ment," said Senator Teller. '1t is true that
Senators and members of the House in
terested in silver have held a conference
here, but it had no object other than the
formation of bi-metallic order to secure
wider interest in silver. 1t had no political
bearing in any way, and I am sure that
those persons who were concerned in the
conference would not countenance the
severing of party ties"

ST. PETERSBURG, April 25.-The Amer
ican Consul here says that the Russian Gov
ernment intends to establish boards of trade
in every province of THE country under the
direction of paid officials. These boards are
to be constituted on a system similar to that
which has been adopted in the United
States. The organizations will gather and
disseminate all available information in re-
gard to crops, approaches of storms, atmos-
pheric phenomena, etc.
1t is hoped that they will assist in pre-
venting famines in Russia in future by Civ
ing timely warning when the danger of
such state of affairs is apparent to the
authorities and the farming population,
which will thus enable them to take meas
ures of precaution accordingly and provide
against dearth of provisions.

FRICTION OVER APPoRTI0NMENT.
New York Legislators Find It Hard to Agree

ALBANY, N. Y, April 26-rS Special l.
After some friction on the apportionment
bill it was finally agreed on, late this even
ing, but not in time to present to the e1traor-
binary session of the Legislature at its
first meeting at $50. To get the support ofthe
majority of both Houses, alterations in the
original draft of the bill not strictly war
ranted by the arithmetical ratios of the
enumeration had to be made. 1t was the
New York, Brooklyn, Buffalo and Troy
Democrats on one side, and the rural Dem
ocrats on the other.
In caucus the city Democrats would
have won, but the rural Democrats declined
to assent to the bill which was prepared in
the last three davs, and which gave the
fraction ratios to New York, Brooklyn, Buff
falo and Troy. After dividing the Assem-
blymen on an arithmetical basis four re-
main, representing the surplus over the
whole ratios 1t was for these four that the
struggle was. The Democratic members of
both houses were present. There were
number of Republican absentees.

CHARGED WITH vAGRANCY.

| Holmes Anderson Picked Up By the South
side Polios-EitzsimmonS Friend De-
fsnds Himself, and Declares He Is Not
Loafer-Hs Lives With His Sister.
Recollections of the famous Fitzsimmons
case were revived on the Southside last
night Holmes Anderson, through whose
correspondence with Fitzsimmons, the latter
was captured, was arrested at the Lake Erie
depot, and locked up in the Twenty-eighth
ward station house, on charge of vagrancy.
He is charged with lettering around the de-
pot at various times and begging nickels
| and dimes.
Anderson was interviewed in the station
house last night. He said he had not been
doing ANYTHING out of the way. He said
that one night last week he came in from
West Liberty borough, where he is living
with sister, and, in company with Alder
man King, had few drinks Of whisky. He
admitted that while he was under the infu-
ence of liquor he might have begged some
money, but he was sober last night and
came down the incline from Beltzhoover
borough to meet his brother-in-law, and as
soon as he arrived at the Lake Erie depot
he was arrested.
His connection with the Gunsaulis muir
der and subsequent connection with the
Fitzsimmons affair, are still fresh in the
minds of the people. He was indicted for
the murder of young Gunsaulis, an Allie
ghenian, whose body was found near West
Liberty borough one morning, but there
was no evidence against him and the case
was nolle pressed. 1t was while he and
Fitzsimmons were in Jail together that they
became fast friends, and after the latter
escaped he wrote letters to Anderson ask
ing him to meet him in New Orleans.
Anderson tried to conceal the correspond
| ence, but he was not sharp enough for
Warden McAleese. who discovered two
letters the morning Anderson was re-
leased.
Anderson is riverman, but he says he
has not been working lately. He has been
living with a married sister. He still man.
