Plenty of Money In London.

The uperabundance of money await
ing safe Investment in London was well
put in evidence a few days ago when
the chancellor of the exchcquer invited
tenders for e1 100000 of treasury bills.
Applications for ten times that amount
were at one sent in, and the chancellor
was able to get the money he wanted
at the lowest terms ever secured for an
English lc can-namely: 3 1-16 per cent.
At the same time, the bump of caution
has been largely developed in the Eng
lish investor by his calamitous expert
,ences with gaseous South American Sc
curities, and it iG the universal testi-
mony that shal1y enterprises never
found it so hard to get backing in the
London market. Financiers there as
here have no confidence in the future,
and propose to be found ready for a
financial storm if one comes.

PRISON LIFE.
Interesting Facts Regarding the
 Territorial Prison.

Superintendent McInnernay of the Territorial prison is making up his an. nual report and it wilfcontain some val. able information. Among ether things he says:
 Something may be done about mak. Ing the prisoners self supporting. At present the only work except work for the prison done is the polishing of onyx for articles of gale and some grading and similar work outside. The money for the onyx goes into the convict's pocket, and Is deposited by him against the day Of bis release, or towards the purchasing of little luxuries-delicacles, tobacco and the like. Among the deposits made by convicts last week were items of S20; S1%, S1l, and numerous smaller sums. These were probably returns from shipments of onyx works which We're sent to varlous parts of the coun- try. Many Of the prisoners never made money as fast as they are at present.
 It might seem strange, but life pris- oners are more saving of their money than shcrt termers. They lay it up thinking it may aid in procuring their rele SC.
 There is not man in there" said the Derluten3ent but we hope to some day be released"
 Fifty five prisoners have been admit ted thus far, for the year 1892, against nine ty-two for 1891.
 The shops of the prison will be en larged about January 1st.
 Of the total of prisoners admitted since its nsception, 40S were natives of various national ties and 392 foreign.
 The present pOpu lation is about 65 per cent Mexican 2S per cent Caucasian and most of the remainder Indian.
 The present population of the prison is 157.
 Ofenses against property were far greater among the cOnvicts than against the person. Of the grand total, 4SO were against property, as robbery. arson forgery and grand larceny. against 26l against the person, as murder and as- saults.
 The total expenditures of the prison from its founding to January, 1891 were 
 Not a convict in the prison has been there since its founding. The 'lifers" first there were pardoned.
 Gov. Zulick heads the list iI decreas- ing the charges at the prison. He par doned 57 prisoners.

Many Postal Improvements Urged.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I'm the annual report of Postmaster General Wana- maker postal telegraph and telephones are strongly advocated. Of one cent postage WGnamaker says it is near possibility. He urges the reduction of the postal note and abolition of box rents. He says the organization of the department should be permanent, ex- cept in the case of postmaster-gene and fourth assistant, and Wsnamaker would add three new offices, deputy postmaster-general at New York, one at San Francisco and a controller at Wash ington. All postmasters, presidential and fourth class, and all employed in all branches of the department should have a specified time of four years in good behavior and reappointment, sub ject to the controller.

THE RENEGADE KID.
Retains His Position in the Public
 Interest.

Peter Moore arrived yesterday after noon from Soldier Holes, where he las wood contract with the Dascanso mill. To a Prospector representative he stated that he had talk with Mike O'Connor and Fred HeyEe on Monday last, and that they told him of seeing Kid and his band near Fucker canyon. Mike O'Connor and Fred HeyDe were campsd in the mouth of the canyon near the old lumber road, where they bad been for about week making hay On Sunday morning early they saw in the distance an object movlpg toward them but thinking it was some rancherC they kept on with their work, when O'COnnor suddenly looked up, and To- there re saw within 5G0 yards of where he vas standing, band of Indians numbering seven.
 He called his partner and council oI war was immediately held. It was al first thought the Indians were coming directly toward them and preparations were hastily made for their reception The Indians stili moved leisurely on iu their direction, making gestuIes toward 1 the mountains, evidently discussing | their former raids in that vicinity, and 1 a savage laugh now and then betokened perfect content and clear consciences.
 They were now witoln 100 yards oi the men, who were still unobserved. The band of renegades consisted oi five bucks and two squaws, all of whom were well armed and evidently had plen. ty of ammunition. They were ali OF horseback, and locked none the worse for their recent experience with the troops and other Indian hunters. Wher it was observed how perfectly the rene gades were equipped, O'Connor now concluded that discretion was the bet l ter part of Yalor, more particularly as their weapons of defense consisted ot but shot gun and & six shooter loaded with four cartridges. After the Indians had passed, the two haymakers hasten ed to the saw mill camp, and soon z posse of about ten men were on the trail and followed it until the trall led into the main road when 1t was lost.
 These are no doubt, thd same red. | skins who were near Bowie last week and, judging from thier trail, were mak ing straight for the Swisshelm moan. tains. There is troop of soldiers ir that vicinity and there IS a probability Of an encounter.
 RaBchers should be on the lookout, aG there is no telling where this band oi | savages will appear next,-Prospector.

THINGS are beginning to work already The Louisiana sugar men have sent on a protest against repeating the bounty on sugar, Alabama wants protection for iron. Florida fer fruit, and Connecticut for tobacco; but worse of all, up rises Senator German of Maryland, who says he will be dog -binged if anybody is gC- ing to take of that 75 cents t4riff on coal while he is around. The man who does not see fun ahead, not to say great gaudy wads of it, so to speak, has but little of the seer in his make up. But gentlemen of Maryland and Florida. and Louisiana, and Connecticut, you must stand aside, "We" propose to rip up the last vestige of projections; it is our business to down the robber tariff, and "we" are going to rip her and town herl Keep your eye on "us" while we rip and dUwn.-L.

 Notwithstanding the Democratic howl we hope to see the Mckinley bill re- pealed. It was on that issue the Demo crats climbed into power and we are anx- ious that the country should have the full benefit of theIr free trade doctrines The howl raised in Louisiana over the threatened repeal of the sugar bounty law has almost reached panic and sug. ar cane farms ia that state, have depre- ciated Tn value fully one third since the election. These are the solid South chickens that voted and howled fol Cleveland and free trade, and now we want to see them get the practical bene fit @ of their professions. We hope ths bill will be repealed, and let the people see if free trade doctrine is al that the Democrats have cracked it uE to be.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 7.-The InterNational Monetary Conference hold that Roths- childs withdrawal of bis plan does not debar further discussion of it by the conference as the committee to which plan was referred had presented it for the consideration of the conference Other plans do not meet with favor.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-As soon as the senate adjourned the Republican sen- ators held caucus. but reached no con- cluslon. It was thought the anti-option bili would be the subject of discussion but it was stated that 1t would not be brought up at all. The present discus sion were two bills for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico, but no action was taken. 1t was made apparent, how ever, .as the statehood bills will be vi gorously pressed by the Democratic sen ators, there will be q demand for the adoption of some uniform policy upon the subject by the Repub blicRn senators.
 At present many of them, probably a majority, are opposed to the bill. The objections are being obstensibly based on illiteracy of large part of the popu- lation af Arizona and New Mexico In the fact that many of the inhabitants are not Americanized but speak only the Spanish language and in the face of po- pulation back of these objections lies the fact that the territories are now re- OraoautaG hv fha nannoorofic daIonafaz and might be expected to send Demo cratic senators. Some Repu ublican sep- ators, however, feel that if the new states are admitted by the action of the Republican senate and president tLsy might :be brought into the Republican fold, while to reject theIr application HOW might insure their admission after the fourth of March by a democratic senate and hopelessly alienate the new states from the Republican party.
