At the present time, when the question of alleged discrimination by Canada against United States vessels in the use of the Canadian canals is being discussed, the appen- dix to the annual report of the Minister of Railways and Canals, containing the canal statistics for the past year, is of great interest.
 The total revenue for the year was $350,351, an increase of $2292 over 1890. There was refunded on grain in 1890 toll to the amount of $4l ,635, and in 1891 $49, ,834. The latter fig
 ures represent 276,S5l tons of grain which passed down the Vel
 land Canal and were transshipped at Canadian ports to Montreal, and upon which a rebate of lSc a ton was made. The total quantity of grain which passed down the Well land Canal to Montreal was 205, ,509 tons against 22S, ,5l3 in the previous year. The quantity on which full tolls were paid shipped from one United States port to another United States port shows decrease from 245, ,932 to 202,7l0 The in ference being, judging from the figures already given, that a large amount of traffic has been diverted to the St. Lawrence route. The bill passed the United States congress authorizing the levying of tolls upon Canadian ves- sells passing through the Sault Cana, is causing great deal of discussion among the owners of Canadian float ing property. It will be very serious blow 10 their interests, but they still maintain that the Canadian government is quite right in the po-

UNCLE SAM'S GOLD.
Thirty Million Dollars Sent From the San
 Francisco Sub Treasury.
FLYING ON A TRAIN
To the Treasury at washington-Anothe Big Gold shipment Soon to
 Follow.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 6.-An enormous shipment of gold coin went east from the sub-treasury yesterday, $50, 100000 being sent to the United States treasury at Washington. The utmost secrecy has been preserved. There are some good reasons for this, In the wild country between Cali fornia and Mississippi there are train robbers, and it it not often such large amount goes over the rails on one train. For two or three weeks postal route agents have been arriving from the East on secret missions. It is thought they came to work up case of fraudulent practices on the railway mail ser vice. That was mistake. Thirty who came left to-day on the gold train, and with them went nine others from San Francisco. For 6acn man there IS W lHCueSlSr- Three cases of rifles were loaded with the coin. There are five postal cars unusually heavy and strong and big caboose, in which guards ride. The government has stored at San Francisco $100, 100000 of it's gold reserve, and, it is said, now $6O, GOO, 900 is to be sent to Wash ington. One more shipment like the present being necessary.

CALIFORNIA ROBBERS.
Two of the Men Forced to Fight For Their
 Liberty.
OFFICERS WOUNDED.
The Men Are Desperate Characters and win Not Surrender Aliye-An
 Engagement.

VIsAIIA, CAL, August 6-Up to late hour last night the robbers who plundered the express car on Los Angeles train, near Fresno Wednesday night, had not been cap tured, though a posse of 100 men are pursuing them towards the mountains and close on the track of Evans and John Stontag. The two men who gave battle to Selectman Smith and Deputy Sheriff Witty yesterday afternoon evidently had little difficulty in escaping them. After arresting as suspect George Cannant, alias Sontag, at the Evans house, the two officers secured wagon and returned to the house for the purpose of getting a trunk supposed to contain gold coin. While they were hitching the horses they saw John Sontag enter the house. Evans also entered, but after the officers had gone in Evans denied that Sontag was there. Detective Smith entered bed room and saw Sontag standing there holding double-barreled shot gun. That moment it was found that Evans also had a gun. The two officers then ran out of the house and into the road. Evans pursuing Witty and Sontag pursuing Smith, both men fired several shots at the officer. Witty was hit and fell severely wounded. Smith was slightly wounded Evans and Sontag then jumped into the wagon, which the officers left, and drove away. A posse followed soon af- rewards. Smith states that he found in Evans house the material from which masks were made, and also found the team used by the robbers Wednesday night.
 Evans is well acquainted with the mountain region of East Visalia. If he reaches the timber he may es cape. He has wife and children here, and Sontag has been attentive to one of his daughters. The latter has been railroad engineer, and has been under the surveillance of the officers for some time.

JEALOUSY.

A Prince Murdered and Lady at the
 Point of Death.
 Moscow, August 6.-At grand ball arranged by the officers corps of the Czar's body huzzars at Casino, First Lieutenant Even Rattovich rushed into the middle of the room, drew pistol from dolman, took deliberate aim, and shot Prince Nicholas Susslovitch, a brother officer, who was waltzing with the lieutenant's s affianced. The prince fell dead with bullet in his head. The lady was also falling from fright by his side. The as sassin slipped over the body of his dead comrade, and raising the head of his alliance by the hair, deliberately blew her brains out, then made attempts to to kill himself. Medical aid was at once obtained, but it will be of no avail. The lady was dragged from the death-bed of her murdered part ner and is now lying at the point of death The deed created the widest excitement in upper Russian circles where the parties are we'll known. The czar has ordered special re- port to be made to him. The mur- dered prince had been warned be- fore hand not to attempt to dance with the alliance of Rottavich. It was clear case of jealousy, with no grounds for 1t.

THEIR OLD PLACES
Strikers at Duquesne Return to Work This
 Morning.
THE JIG WAS UP.
They Struggled Franticaily to Get into the
 the Mills First.

HOMESTEAD, PA, August s. The strikers at Duquesne went to work this morning, and the Carne- gies scored one more victory on Sat urday night. Superintendent Nor rison posted notice to all men who applied for their old jobs to report at the mill at ' o'clock this morning, as the mill would resume at that hour. Long before the time set, however, workers with dinner pails quietly stole upon the unfre- quented streets and along the rail road track so as to enter the mill unobserved by fellow strikers. As 2 o'clock approached the number of men who entered the mill yard through this means reached 400. About sixty men, who are leaders, in sympathy with the strike movement gathered on the road near the mill gate and watched in moody silence the men going into the works. Finally the mill whistle blew for ' o'clock. At that large Irishman exclaimed in a loud voice :: Well, men, the jig is up. We had better hustle for our old places. :"
 This was the signal for a panic, and the entire crowd ran toward the gate. A freight train was backed in front of the gate, but the men did not wait for it to be moved but scrambled over and under 1t in their frantic haste to get inside the mill before the whistle stopped blowing. It was complete stampede. The men organized into an amalgamated association at no little expense, and they went out on the sympathetic strike movement about two weeks ago. They were expelled from the amalgamated association and the Carnegie Steel Go. now has two non union mills. The effect of the break at Duquesne cannot but prove harmful to the men at Homestead, although the leaders have not be- lieved it yet. At Duquesne steel pallets can be manufactured and sent to Homestead to be rolled into plates by non-union men. So the firm will be in far better condition to fill contracts and prosecute the the fight here.

WoMAN'S PRETTY FOOT.
Everyone Can Have it if She Goes About it
 in the Right Way.

i'm the Right Way.
 Every stranger who goes to Paris and cares for feminine beauty of form is struck with the pretty feet of the women. It isn't that the Frenchwomen always has graceful feet. It is that she knows incom- parably well how to dress them. See that captivating little eep with which the Parisienne picks up her skirts. showing all the pretty frou-f -frou of ruffies beneath, and her dainty high -heeled, pointed toed shoes as she crosses the street. Her boot is never rubbed or spread nor down at the heel. It's trim foot-gear to the last because 1t was the best of its kind in the beginning. To be well shod and well gloved IS the Frenchwoman first aim in dress. She won't wear poor boot or glove and wherever else she screws and pinches in dress she won't let feet or hand suffer She won't wear boot with chunky, square toe, as if a third of her foot had been looped off, and above all things she won't wear "common- sense" boot, that best-devised piece of ugliness ever turned out in shoe leather.
 As long as woman thinks she can buy a good boot for $5 or $6 pair so long will she have i'll dressed feet. Pay $l0 to $14. If you can't get them ready made to fit every angle of your foot, and par ticularly if there be any dofect you want concealed or modified, get them made to order. A good boot maker, if you pay him a good price, can do anything and everything short of turning an absolutely ugly foot into beautiful one. He can make the poorest foot look neat and presentable. Then give the prefer ence, no matter how hot the weather, to a dainty buttoned boot for the street. If you pick up your skirt with low shoe it's apt to look as if you'd forgotten to dress yourself. Low shoes are pre- eminently for the house, and should be made like the boot, with the same fullness in the instep, pointed toe and Louis XIV heel. The art of cutting boot well, giving sufficient room to the foot while preserving the ideal effect of height and mar rowness in the instep, consists in having narrow sole with roomy arched upper. The ''Pinet' Paris boot is perfect model. Cheap boots are all made with sole too wide in proportion to the upper, and when 1t comes to the common sense, with it's flat sole, flat atupper and Luge broad toe, we have reached the eli max of hideousness. Ease and beauty may be combined by just buying good enough shoe leather.
 And about gloves If it's too warm, put them in your pocket and let your hands tan. It will have the virtue of naturnalness and look far prettier than soaked leathsH< any way. Don't seek refuge lad mittens. They look all right in an old picture on the tapering hand of an aristo- cratic beauty, but as supposed hand coverings for the street in this year of grace, 1892, they are reminis- cence of the kitchen.

Frenxied Rrssians.

ST. PETERSBURG, August S.-A dispatch from Astrabad, a city of Persia, whose pestilential atmosphere gained for it the omininous name of the "City of the Plague" says Mol lahs, or the priests, whose influence with the populace is very powerful, have preached that the outbreak of the cholera is due to the sale of alcoholic liquors. The language excite d the pop ulace to frenzy. Mobs gathered in vicinity of Mosques, and de- termined to take summary measures to abolish the liquor traffic. Raids were forthwith made on the dram shops. which were plundered. The mob destroyed the goods of a num- Der of Armenian traders, who are Russian subjects. Russian consul, fearing the trouble would grow and he might be at tackled, telegraphed to St. Petersburg for assistance. The government at once gave orders for the despatch of 250 mounted Cossacks, which ar rived at Astrabad, where they are guarding the consulate. The city is situated on small stream that flows into Astrabad Bay, which opens into the Caspian Sea, ana a Russian gunooat ascended this stream. It is now anchored off Astrabad.

saltpeter for sauash nug..

It ought to be more generally known that tablespoonful of salt peter (nitrate of potash) dissolved in a pail of water and pint of the solution put around each hill of squashes will kill the striped squash beetles. It not only rids the plants of the bugs, but makes them grow with great vigor. The latter is the great point. The nitrate is a power ful fertilizer, and the stronger the plants the more rapid they grow, the less they will suffer from the attacks of tbe beetles. It may be, too, that the sap and leaves contain so much nitrate that the beetles pre- fer to seek their food in scme other squash patch. Dr. Wogner's experiments show that this explanation may be the true one. Use the nitrate of soda or the nitrate of potash, as most convenient and in addition fight the bugs.-American Agriculturalist.
