ANOTHER CRANK.

He Calls at Geo. w. Childs' Omcc
and Inquiries for Him, and Being Asked
His Business Declares He Intends to
xiii Him.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2S "A crank,
who gave his name as j. Bonaparte,
entered the private Office of Geo W.
Childs in the Ledger building, on Sat
urday afternoon, and told the clerk at
the door he must see the publisher
When asked to state the nature of his
business, the man simply said: "I in
tend to kill him"
The clerk intercepted the fellow,
whereupon he drew a murderous look
ing knife. Several other clerks hur-
ried in at this moment, and the man
made his escape. The occurrence was
reported to police headquarters, and
late in the afternoon they arrested the
man at the Red Lion hotel and took
him to the city hall, where an examina-
tior satisfied DR. Andrews that the man
was insane. He was sent to the Phila-
delphia hospital

Exports to the United states Increase
Despite the Mckinley Tariff.
OTTAWA, Dee. 2S-A summary of the
Dominion trade returns for the last
fiscal year, which has just been pub
lished, shows the exports TO be $9s, 500, :
900, imports $l2o, 600, 900, the balance of
trade against the Dominion being near
ly $22, 900, 600 The exports show an in
crease of 81, 800, 600. while the imports
decrease $1,000, 600 compared with the
returns of the preceding year. Trade
with the United States has increased
81, 0O0, 600 Notwithstanding the McKin-
ley tariff. Exports TO the United States
increased to $3.50, 900, TO Britain nearly
$1,000, 600. Of'the total exports $40, 600, 600
went to Great Britain and $S 600. 0oe to
other countries. The fact that the eX-
ports TO the United States have in
creased almost as much as the exports
to Great Britain tend to refute the as
sertion of a new market being found
for Canadian products excluded from the
United States by the Mckinley tariff.

West Virginia Territory.

Maryland Lays Claim to n Large Tract of
West Virginia Territory.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Dec. 26.-The
attorney general of Maryland has filed,
IN the supreme court of the United
States bill against the state of West
Virginia, the object Of which is to set
tie the disputed boundary line between
the two states 1t is claimed in the bill
that the South Branch instead of the
North Branch, of the Potomac is the
true boundary,
Should the claims of Maryland be
sustained, and the South Branch be
held to be the line, it will take from
West Virginia large extent of terri
tory, and almost separate the eastern
panhandle from the rest of the state
Virginia and West Virginia together
have held to the North Branch, and
have been in possession of the disputed
lands for more than one hundred years
No fears are entertained here of the
ultimate success of the suit.
Copies of the bill have been procured
by Gov. Fleming, and, under joint reso-
luton of the Legislature, he has ap-
pointed eX-State Senators Price and
Flournay, of this city, to assist the at
torney general of West Virginia in re-
sisting Maryland's claims.

Corner in Indiana Limestone.

NoBLEsvILLE, Ind, Dec PA syn.
dicate has been trying to get control of
the limestone output of Indiana, but
has so far been unsuccessful. Howev.
er, the owners of quarries have recently
organized an association for the purpose
of raising the price of stone, which
has been sold very low heretofore.
The strikes over the country, which
hindered building projects, aud the
craze for iron and brick blocks in Chi.
cago, has lowered the demand for Indi-
ana limestone during the past year or
two. The best buildings being erected
in New York, and Vanderbilts 81, 00O,-

constructed of Indiana limestone

Coinage of Silver.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The CONVEX
sion of trade-dollar bullion into stand
ard silver dollars was completed Tues
day. The coinage of standard silver
dollars is therefore at an erd unless a
change shall be made in the policy Of
the treasury department through con-
gressional enactments or otherwise.
Mr. Leach, director of the mint said
Tuesday afternoon that, while he was
net authorized to speak of the future
silver policy of the department he
thought there is scarcely any doubt
that the coinage of standard silver dol
lars will be continued at the San Fran
cisco and Carson City mints, in amounts
sufficient to meet tho necessities of the
service. Flo estimated this at $780, 900 a
month for each mint.

Although the Spree did not report that
the Abyssinias passengers and crew
were on board of her, IL is supposed
that such was the case. The burned

New York, Dec. 2S.-The Worlds
Washington special correspondent tele-
graphs: There is the highest authority
for the statement that the department.
OF state has received from official
sources, though informally. assurances
that the Chilian government will make
proper rcparation for the assault upon

DENVER, Col, Dec. 2s.-The Rocky

Christian not only in the sense that
whose birth and residence are in a
Christian land are Christians, but
through open affiliation with one of the
orthodox churches whose creed is
based upon the life teachings of the
Divine Master. The country is notified
that the president is preparing n mes
sage to congress touching on Chilian
troubles in which he will ask authority
to use the army and navy in war upon
Chilli to force it to apologize to the
United States and make money com.
pensation to a mum Der of American
citizens.
The demand has already been made

awaits a formal refusal of the demand
by the Chilian authorities The moral
right to enforce this demand through
the war department depends upon the
truth of the assertion made by Ameri.
can sailors touching an assault upon
them in Valparaiso. The story of the
fight is firmly denied by citizens OF
Chilli and Chilian participants in it.
However satisfied the American au-
thories may be that the American side
of the story is the true one, the Chilian
authorities, after what seems a patient
investigation, appear equally satisfied
that their story should be believed.
At such a stage and under such con-
ditions it will be unchristian and unciv-
ilized to declare war against our sister
republic without further efforts Ia
avert it. Before Chilian and American
seaports should be closed. before cities
shall be BON barded. before armies shall
clash in deadly conflict and the walls Ot
widows and orphans shall fill the land,
before millions of wealth shall be de-
stroyed and millions of money be spent

out regard to sect or creed, by resolu.
ton, petitions and public utterances,
make known their feelings upon this, a
question vital to all humanity and for

Mrs. Ellen Purcell, Irish, . widow,

victims of terrible powder explosion
at the Freeman coal mines, this city.
Higgins was blown 1856 feet and Sellers
hurled distance of sixty five feet
through an aperture about two
feet wide. His shirt was torn from his
body and his flesh was frightfully
mangled. How the men ever escaped
with their lives is mystery. The cause
of the accident was spark falling from
the lamp of one of the miners into a keg
of powder. After two hours of suffer-
ing the injured miners dragged them
selves to the air-shaft and each was sur
prised to find the other alive.
