A $1,OOO,0O0 ONION.

1t took 900 pounds of gold to
plate this dome, and there is more
than 81, 100000 worth of gold upon
it. This dome is in the shape OF
an inverted Bermuda onion, and if
you can imagine an onion of gold,
the top of which is just 100 feet in
diameter, you may get some idea
of this 100000 golden onion
which crowns the Church of Our
Saviour.

NICARAGUA BONDS.
The Canal Endorsement Will Not
Pass the House.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-The Nicara-
guam canal bill is evidently to be earnest
ly pressed at the present session of Con.
gress, but it is more than doubtful if it
passes the house. The average demo.
cratic member SHES at the idea of giving
the government guaranty to the amount
OF $100. 900, 900 to the bonds of private
corporation, however guarded the rights
of the government may be in the pro-
posed legislation. Senator Sherman will
probably get the bill up in the Senate
and may pass it there. but it is not likely
to pass the House, even if the committee
on rules allows it to come up.
Representative Rayner, of Baltimore,
who is on the committee which is con-
sidering the bill, was earnestly in favor
of granting an American charter to the
canal company in the 50th Congress, but
he Is opposed to aguaranty of the bonds.
He argues that the United States will
never permit foreign influence to control
the canal. whether the bonds are guar
anteed or not, and he does not believe
that the government of Nicaragua would
permit the canal to fall into foreign
hands.-Springfeld Republican.

whether Anarchists or Discharg-
ed Employ es is Not known.
PARIS, Dec. 30.-There was dynamite
explosion In the prefecture of the police
yesterday. 1t is not known whether it
was the work of anarchists or the act OF
a discharged employe. Whatever the
truth Of the matter, the anarchists have
taken advantage OF the occasion to is
sue a manifesto, couched in the fiery
style used in those documents, The SUBJ
stance of the manifesto is that now the
time tor the masses to "strike for free
DOM"
Striking for freedom in war style, how
ever, is not apt to occur just at present,
as the police buildings are closely guarded,
and all out t-of-the-wav places, are care
fully searched for hidden dynamite and
bombs.
A French paper today publishes an
interview with Louise Michael, the aged
anarchist, who is now in London. She
declared that she did not know the
authors of the explosion at the prefec-
ture. but she thought it "a good piece Of
work" She regretted that the higher
officials had not been present when the
explosion occurred as they might have
been killed.
Louise Michael will go to Chicago
shortly to spread the anarchists propa-
ganda.

John Chinaman Makes Complaint Again
II Morning Against woodward, and
woodaII Gets a Promise from Pa.
A short time ago, young Woodward,
George, a son Of the city clerk, pleaded
guilty to molesting the C%hinaman, Aung
Ding Lee, who runs a washee house IN
this city.
Friends of those interested went before
the mayor and withdrew the trial upon
the solemn promise of the young man
Woodward to leave the Chinaman alone.
Young Woodward called at this office
and offered thanks profuse for what we
did to get him out of the trouble, and
promised US, as he had promised the
mayor, to be more careful in the future.
Now again today John Chinaman goes
and enters another kick. He says that
Woodward molested him last night, and
even pulled a knife on him.
This is all too bad. The law should
bat an eye in dealing with fellows
who do not do what they solemnly prom

The Miller and Kimball organs are sold
