WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Following is
the text of President Harrison's mes
sage to congress:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives:
In submitting my annual message to
congress have great satisfaction in be-
ing able to say that the general coudi-
lions affectin g the commercial and indus
trial interests of the United States are in
the highest degree favorable. A compar-
ison of the existing conditions with those
of the most favored period in the history
of the country will, believe, show that
so high a degree of prosperity and 80 gen.
eral a diffusion of the comforts OF life
were never before enjoyed by our people.
Wealth of the Country.
The total wealth of the country in 1860
was SIG, 159, 6l6,O6S. In 1890 it amounted
to S62, GIG, OO0, 900, an increase of 2S7 per
cent.
The total mileage of railways in the
United States in 1869 was 80, 1885, in 1899 IT.
was 167, al, an increase of AS per cent;
and it is estimated that there will be
about 1000 miles Of track added by the
close of the year 1892.
The official returns of the Eleventh CEN
sus and those of the Tenth census for IS
leading cities furnished the basis for the
following comparisons:
In 1880 the capital invested in man ufac-
turing was 81, 232, $50, $40.
In 1890 the capital invested in manufac-
turing was $4,000, 735, SS4.
In 1880 the number of employees was
1901, 1888.
In 1890 the number o. employees was
2,251, 134.

CASE OF CANNIBALIsM
Called to Mind by Arguments Before q
Colorado Court


DENVER, December 16.-A horrible
case Of cannibalism committed In Colo
RADIO In 1873 was called to mind to-day
by the hearing Of an argument on a
habeas corpus proceeding brought by
the attorney of Alfred Packer, who is
at present serving time in the Canon
City penitentiary, charged with having
killed and partially eaten five OF his
companions. Packer has had two trials,
the first resulting In his being found
guilty of five murders and being SEN
fenced to hang.
His attorneys appealed his case to
the Supreme Court, and this tribunal
held that he could not be sentenced ex-
cept for manslaughter, because the law
relating to murder was imperative.
Packer, In accordance, with this de-
cssion, was tried again, found guilty OF
manslaughter, and was sentenced TO
eight years for each murder, each sem
tence TO begin after the other had
ended. until the terms had been served.
Packer has about completed his term OF
sentence on the first charge, and his at
torneys ask his release, asserting that
there is no such thing as cumulative
sentence. The story OF Packers awful
crime has often been told. PacJkcf rod

became lost In snow storm In the
mountains. They fell short OF provis-
ions. and the want OF food, according
TO Packers story, drove them crazy.
Packer left them temporarily to try and
discover something 10 eat. When he re-
turned he claims that he was met outside
OF the camp by one OF the party who at
tempted 20 kill him. Packer fired and
the mao dropped dead. On reaching
camp, Packer says he found his other
companions dead and piece OF one OF
them was roasting over the FIRE, having
been put there by the man who at
tempted his lie. Packers awful hun
ger was too great to withstand the sight
offered them. Even though IL was hu-
man flesh, and be ate the meat with
great relish. He continued TO camp
there for several days afterward, living
on the flesh OF his companions. He Il
nally became strong enough 70 travel,
and at last reached civilization.
Ii was charged at his trial that the
crimes were committed for robbery. lie
was arrested shortly after the crime,
but escaped, and for ten years he was
at liberty when he was re-arrested,
tried and sentenced. The court has ia
ken the case under adYisement.

caused several aspirsnts for his place In

OF this Congressional district. Before
this matter progresses too far 1t might

superior abilities Of Mr.. Wilson. freely
accorded him the nomination for hve
terms. 1t no doubt will continue to do
so as long as he desires to remain In
Congress, but IL he should go into the
Cabinet or otherwise vacate his seat in
the Lower House we will bitterly resist
giving the domination to any gentleman
from the extreme east. The middle
counties and the stern end will positive
ly assert their claims. A proper nnder-
standing of these matters might save
trouble later on.

MR.. BLAINE's RELIGION.
The Public Determined TO Make Some
thing Out of Him--A Friend Denies
That He Is a Catholic.

That He Is q Catholic.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, December TO-
A resident of this city who has been an
intimate friend Of the Blaine family Tor
years speaking Of Mr.. Blaine's religious
views said that he considered that the
great Statesman was a Congregations
list, which was Mrs. Blaine's creed.
Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Blaine were regu-
lar church goers, but whenever they
did go it was as rule to church OF
that denomination. When Mr.. Blaine
was at Bar Harbor he went to the Con-
gregationalist church and while at
Washington, did the same. Miss Hat
tie Blaine, the unmarried daughter and
Mrs. Walter Damrosch, the friend said,
are regular attendants at the Episcopal
church, and Mrs. Mccormick is strict
Presbyterian, while Mrs. Coppinger Is a
Catholic.
Furthermore, 1 have been In every
room of the Blaine household, and
have never seen a thing that would
suggest to me that Mr.. Blaine was
Roman Catholic. There is not a crucifix
nor any other Catholic symbol in the
house."
Glow can you explain the visits OF
Cardinal Gibbons and Father Ducey to
Mr.. Blaine"
81 know Of no other explanation than
that of replying with a query: why do
prominent men come to see Mr.. Blaine
why does the heather Turk Gomez"
''Then you don't think that 1t is at
all probable that Mr.. Blaine will be-
come Catholic?"
II do not think So"
Mr.. Biaine's religious training during
childhood was conducted entirely by
his mother, who was Miss Maria Gill
ington county. His father, Ephraim
|. Blaine, came from long line OF Gov
enanters, and all his alliances were Win
the Presbyterian church. When running
for a political Office he was said TO De
Catholic in disguise, which was denied:
Before death he became a Catholic ana
was buried in the graveyard OF the
Catholic church at Brownsville.
