MISSOIIRI SOL ONS-

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb 26-The
Missouri university is in danger It's
future, to a great extent, is in the hands
Of the present legislature. In the house
this morning a resolution was introduced
that this session do not make any appro.
priation at all, but allow the matter to go
over until the next session. 1t was de-
tented, but this shows how things are
drifting The fight is getting to point
where it threatens the university. Every
day since the session opened the matter
has been brought up for discussion. All
kinds OF resolutions bills and motions on
the subject have been introduced, and the
only thing that has been done is the adop-
tion of resolution by the house not to
appropriate any money until the question
of location is settled. The question as to
whether or not the question of removal
can be discussed by the present legislature
has yet to be settled. 1t is the opinion Of
most OF the members that under the gov
ernor's call it cannot. The joint resolu-
ton now pending in the house, calling
upon the governor to send special mes
sage placing the matter of site before the
will undoubtedly be passed.

SKIN DISEASES.

What spectacle is more disgusting than
that Of a man or woman with Il skin dis
ease which shows itself in pimples or
blotches on hands, arms, face and neck? II
is simply impure blood. See what BRAN
DEETHS PILLS did for chronic disease:
George Chapman, Piucening, Mich,
says:
For four years I was in the Mounted
Infantry in the United States army, resid-
ing that time principally in Texas. AL
most all of that time had a chronic skin
disease. characterized by an eruption over
the entire surface of my legs and thighs,
arms and chest The doctors termed it
eczema. L had given up all hopes of ever
being cured, when BRANDRETH'S PILLS
were recommended to me. l concluded TO
try them, and ! have thanked God daily
since then that [ did so. used them for
about three months. and by that time, was

SWINDLED NEGROES

KANSAS CITY, Feb. ga negro of
plausible speech and apparently honest
motives swindled large number of the
negroes Of Kansas City, Kan, recently.
He told them that there were many
negroes in that place who could trace u
relationship to the Sac and Fox Indians,
and. in the event of their doing so, that
they would receive from the government
81, 500 in cash. $50 acres of land and an an
nuity in coffee, -four, etc. All they had to
do was to pay $40 for registering their
claim with Chief Black Bear, in Kansas
City, No, and he would see that it was
allowed by the Sac and Fox council Over
two hundred negroes who had strain of
Indian blood in their veins registered their
claims and paid SO dollars. One of the
victims of the swindle, not hearing from
the claim, came over TO Kansas City, No,
today and found that Chief Black Bear
was gone. He reported the case to the po-
lice, who are looking for the smooth negro
and his Indian companion.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26-The lines that agreed
to reduce rates on sugar, coffee. canned
goods and other commodities to Kansas
points, were notified today by Chairman
Midgley of the Western Freight assocla-
tion that they must not take any such
action. These roads were informed that
protests against a reduction of rates had
been filed by the other Missouri river lines,
and that, under the agreement, no change
IN rates could be made, except by unanl-
nous consent of the lines IN interest.
Chairman Midgley's order will be obeyed
by the Kansas lines, the general managers
of which now realize that they were TOO
hastY in entering into the compromise
agreement with the Kansas railway COM
missioners to prevent an arbitrary re-
duction of local rates IN that state. As
the railroads are unable to carry out their
part of the contract it is probable that the
commissioners will renew their original
order.
Chairman Walker, on behalf of the COM
missioners Of the West ern Traffic associa-
tion, submitted a report today dispOsing
of the Atchison's application for a re-
ductiOn of the second-class passenger rate
from Missouri river to California points.
The commissioners report that they are
not now able to reach an agreement upon
the proposition, leaving it for the lines in
interest to take such other measures as may
lie open to them under the bylaws.

GOLD EXPORTS.

NEW YORK. Feb 26-The president of
9ne OF the largest national banks, speak
ing of the present export of gold, said that
1t was very good thing; that it had stiff
ened the money market and made things
sUeadler. The rate for commercial bills
was higher, as a consequence. London
had come along higher and exchange was
easier. member of "A prominent foreign
banking house spoke in similar strain
and said that S20,000, 600 or $50. coo 900 in
gold could be exported at this time with
ont injury 10 this country interests.
1T is foolish, he sand, this excitement
about the export of little gold People
go abroad with letters OF credit and drafts
representing much more money, and there
Is no fuss made about it, and yet the effect
is precisely the same. F"
A banker who was asked to explain how
it paid to expert gold at this time said:
AT this season of the year the first export
of gold is usually made in adjusting the
balance of trade with Europe but owing
TO our large shipments OF grain occasioned
10y the shortage on the other side il WAS
thought that we should not be compelled
TO part with our gold at this time 1t ap-
pears that 81, SOC, 000 has already been
taken upon legitimate transactions. but
exchange has not reached r point where ii
can be exported at profit. Ii would not
be surprising at this time If more gold
were shipped. Banks hold an excess of
reserve of $50, ,000 600. and they receive
through disbursements OF the treasury
about SlO,OO0.0O per month. The banks
could, therefore. lose as much at this time
through gold exports ss they did last year
without lmpairing their reserve.
One of the methods adopted bv tire

BRITISH PAIlIICS


LONDON, Feb. 26.-In the house of COM
| mons this evening the government nearly
suffered defeat. The opposition were otlt
IN fuii force. A minor measure was up,
relating to lunatic asylum in the north
OF Ireland. Messrs. Sexton and Heaiy and
Sir William Vernon Harcourt maintained
that the bill ought to fall in with the local
government measure Mr.. Healy moved
TO adjourn, and the motion came within 12
votes OF carrying. The announcement of
the vote was greeted with loud opposition
cheers.
Close scrutiny OF the Irish bin does not
lessen the Liberal opposition to it. Mr.
Chaplin'S small holdings bill IS preferable
to them, but their approval of it will not
deter division on the second reading in
favor of compulsory powers to acquire
land
Chancery proceedings are about to open,
following The wri;s served upon Mrs Par
nell and Justin Mccarthy Jointly at the
Instances of Messrs Redmond and Har-
riagton aud others, with the view to de-
eide the custody of the Paris fund. The
legal declaration of the chancery court
will only assert the subsequent action of
the party. These proceedings signalize
the TACT that the ParnelliteS see no chance
of agreement with the Met arthyites. The
special fund with which the Irish fedora
tion started year ago for electoral pur-
poses Is PR crossing. The total is now
El2,OOO aud II IS growing. American con-
tributlons are increasing.
