LONDON BOOM IN SILVER.
Spectators Buy Indian Drafts and Send
Up the Price Of the Metal.

cPoCui0toTS Lnulan Dratts anu Senu
Up the Price Of the Metal.
LONDON, Nov. 2i.-The sudden rise in
the the price of silver yesterday was due
to the operations of group of spectators.
The Indian council had offered for sale
large silver drafts on India. One high
tender absorbed the drafts and Indian
banks and merchants had to go to
the silver market and buy enough
silver to meet the requirements. The
price of the metal was thus driven up.
Various motives are attributed to the
operators. One of the reasons given is
that their action is due to trick of the
American silver men, who desired to boom
silver. with a view to influencing the
action of the Brussels conference. Dealers
doubt that the rise will be maintained, as
too much silver is being offered.
The International Monetary Conference.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 4.--The statement has
obtained currency here that the American
delegates to the international monetary
conference are not prepared to sub
NIT proposals to the conference
when it meets tomorrow. On the
contrary it is true that proposals
have been definitely formulated by the
American delegates and that they will be
laid before the conference tomorrow.
There was some delay in arranging the
proposals, but this is due to the fact that
the American delegates who came from
different states had no opportunity to
confer upon final adjustment of the
minor details until they reached Europe.
The proposals are in such form as will
serve as basis for practical discussion.
Private meetings of the various
sections the conference are proceed
Ing today for the purpose of considering
the information and views that have been
interchanged during the la st two days.

A Trio of Scoundrels.

TOLEDO, O., July 1.-Seyeral
weeks ago a colored individual call
ing himself Tippo- -Tib and claiming
to be the youngest son of the Zulu
king, Cetewayo, and the righlful
heir to the throne of Zulu land,
struck Toledo and commenced Civ
ing series of lectures for the bene-
fit, he claimed, of the heathen in
Africa. Tippo-rib was received
with open arms by the church peo-
pie of the city, and secured ad-
mittance by virtue of his princely
attributes to some of the best fam
lilies in the city. His curiosity to
investigate the interior Of the houses
was supposed to he mere savage
curiosity, and he was allowed per-
feet freedom. 1t now turns out that
the willy Tib had two confederates.
They are Walter Rice and Henry
Wood. After lib had located the
houses, Rice and Wood got in their
work as professional burglars. They
broke into four houses inside of a
week and secured nearly $4,000
worth of diamonds, jewelry etc.
In the meantime lib was being
petted, entertaining the people with
wild yarns of Zululand. Rice and
Wood have been arrested and are
now in Jail. Tippo-Tib who is the
son of a Milwaukee washerman, has
disappeared taking with bim about
$500 in Toledo money. He carried
forged recommendations from lead
ing college professors throughout the
country and few genuine ones
from others he had hoodwinked.
The trio of crooks have worked the
country from one end to the other.

WILSON CONFESSES.
To the Murder of Mamie Walsh,
Taken to Portland.

OREGON CITY, July 1.-Wilson
has confessed to the murder of
Mamie Walsh and is now on his
way to the Potland Jail for safe
keeping. The confession was OBJ
tanned this forenoon in Jail in the
presence of his brother Frank Will
son, Sheriff Samson, Joseph Pur-
dom and G.. II. Dye. 1t was taken
down in writing and signed by Will
son.
Subsequently to this confession
Justice II. w. Fouts went to the Jail
and held the preliminary examiDa-
ton, G. II. Dye appearing for the
state. After the reading of the in
formation he waived examination
and was held for the murder with
out bonds. The trial ended at two
o'clock and arrangements were i'm
mediately made to take him to Port
land by boat. He was hurried from
the rear door of the Jail just before
the boat landed from up the river.
No one being aware that he had con-
fessed, or of the intention to take
him away, so there was no crowd
present and but few spectators to
the removal. AT 2:35 he was away
in charge Of Officers Samson, Pur
dom and Morris,

WATER GARDENS IN SALEM
Quite an interest has sprung up in
the capital city in water gardens and
aquatic Horticulture. 1t is very
pleasant, these balmy June morn
ings. to be greeted as ones first
glances turn to the garden, by the
beautiful Nymphpas gracefully An
chored in the clear pool. Ia the
early morning the water garden is
full of animation, the flowers ex-
panded rapidly, the fish full Of ac-
3 tivity, engaged now in apparent
play, and then agitating the Lily
buds as they eagerly seize some
temptiug morsel The abundant
frogs are not very serious, and their
antics fascinate the house cat, who
Keeps constant and agitated watch
by the borders of the tank. Every
passing cloud adds fresh charm as
1t is mirrored in the water, and the
swaying of the grasses to the gen
Hest breeze completes the picture of
beauty which we are more apt to
associate with some wild scene than
with a small city garden Yet such
ascene OF quiet beauty is easily ar
ranged in comparatively limited
quarters, and is certain to be
constant pleasure. The field
of aquatics is large, there be-
ing some threescore or more Of
Nymph@as and Nelumbos, with
many and varied plants to associate
with them, while there is an almost
endless list of grasses, rushes and
irises, which naturally associate with
water view, while in quiet artificial
bogs may be deyeioped innumerable
beautiful things. TO any one who
cares to try an interesting expert
ment,it may be said that it is not yet
too late to start Water-garden this
season. There are few spare ponds
available in ordinary gardens, and it
will be necessary to arrange an ar
tifical tank or pool. Perhaps it is bet
ter at first to make a tentative ex-
pertinent and try only small tank.

garden must be placed where it will
have all the sunlight possible,
warmth being necessary to the
growth of the plants, A few fish
are indispensable, to keep the water

DROUTH IN TEXAS.
A Picture of the Desolation
There.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July la
letter from La Sale county, eighty
miles southwest of San Antonio, on
the Arkansas, International d Great
Northern railway, gives picture of
the drouth and desolation in that
section. In three years it has not
rained a drop. The prairies once
carpeted with rich grasses, are as
bare as billiard table. The streams
have gone dry and there is no water
anywhere. For any distance as far as
the eye can see there is not a spot OF
green. The sun, reflected from the
white earth, makes the glare and
heat almost unbearable. Deer, tur-
keys and other wild animals have
left. Even the familiar jack rabbit
has disappeared. All the cattle and
sheep have been sold and shipped
into other states. Many of the Mexi-
cans are cowboys or soldiers. They
have no means of subsistence, and
some of them have tried to farm ii,
but the seed sown two years ago re-
mains unsprouted in the ground.
From La Sale county alone $4,000
head of sheep have been removed.
The citizens yesterday appealed to
Governor Hogg to furnish the starv-
ing Mexicans transportation to cot
ton districts where they may find
work. An earnest call for food has
been issued.

ELECTRIC POWER PLANT. --Th,

lIbCSIhiS = Wv iSAs aS@h ~
Subject of establishing station for
manufacture electric power in Sa-
lem has been discussed at different
times during the past year. The
more this project is considered the
better it is thought OF, and it would
not be unreasonable to expect such
an institution to materialize in the
near future. The new electric rail-
way which is to - in would con-
stitute a gooS ,dron from the start.
The prese electric line we are in-
formed would also be inclined to
hire its power instead of manufac-
turing it. The fact that the Salem
water company declines to supply
any more water motors, and the
further fact that several new man
ufacturing projects are now being
pushed, makes the enterprise quite
available at the present time. This
is scheme for capitalists to consid-
er carefully.
