the Laclede. "We touched on Hebrew,
Greek, Latin, Sanscrit, and know not what
else, and noticed that the driver paid
more attention to US than to the people
who were signaling the car. We had to wait
some time on a switch, and he came inside
and begged permission to correct us on sew
eral points. He was much better linguist
than either of US, and l doubt if his supe-
riOr could be found in America today. Yet
he was driving mule for $40 week, and
looked as though he had not enioyed a
square meal for a week, or bath for three
months. He said that he had never at
tended school, but being as he called him
self, Language crank, had devoted his
spare time for more than twenty years to
that study. He declined all OYertures

CALI FOR REPUBLICAN STATE
CONVENTION.

A general convention of the republican
party of Washington is hereby called to
meet at the city of Olympia on Wednesday,
the tenth (10th) day of August, 1892, at
1O:3O O'Clock am, for the purpose of nomi-
mating four presidential electors, two con-
gressmen, a full state ticket, appointing a
new state committee and for the transac-
tiOn Of such other business as may come
before the convention.
The basis Of representation to the con-
ventiOn hereby called shall be as follows,
to wit:
One delegate at large from each county;
one delegate from each county for every
from each county for each fraction Of fifty
(50) votes or more over one hundred 10O);
the same to be calculated from the number
Of votes cast in each county for the republi-
can candidate for governor in 1889.
Upon the foregoing basis the several

A man from Venezula, where they have
been cutting one another's throats in revo-

country's warriors: "Falstaff's ragged
regiment wasn't in it with the soldiers
down there. They are the hungriest-loOk-
ing creatures you ever saw. I've given
them pennies on the street. They wear
linen breeches and an undershirt, and
when they come into town they wrap their
blankets around them to hide their naked
ness. They carry old tint-lock muskets.
There are few RemingtOn's and Winches-
ters, but mighty few. They have machetes
A machete is a sort of big butcher knife
without point. 1t is about three inches
long, and pretty heavy. They cut wood
and kill snakes and enemies with machetes.

1t is recommended that the republican
county central committees call the prima-
ries in their respective counties for Satur-
day the tWenty-third (23d) day of July,
and the county conventions for Saturday
the thirtieth (30th) day of July, 1892, un-
less in their judgment they deem it best to
name earlier dates.
1t is also recommended that each county
convention elect alternates as well as dele
gates, so that their representation in the
state convention shall be by duly elected
delegates or their alternates only. In case
a delegate and his alternate are both absent,
the delegation to be authorized to cast the
vote.
For the formation of county and precinct
committees we respectfully refer to the
''rules" and ask that they be followed.

Colorado Mines Shutting Down
Because OF the White Met
ais Depression.
Hundreds Not Being Worked,
Throwing Many Men Out
Of Work.
Nevada Towns Depopulated
on Account of the Pre-
vailing Depression.
Treasury Officials Say 1t Is
Because the Mines Are
Worked Out.

DENVER, Dec. 9.-Since silver fell to
80, mines have constantly been closing.
and almost every day report is re-
ceived of some property, large or small,
discharging men. There are hundreds
of mines not beng worked. Many of
them are small and their output cut no
great ngure, but the aggregate of per-
SONS thrown out of employment is large
enough to exercise a material influence
on the general condition of trade. Colo
RADIO would be on the verge of disaster
were it not that its resources, other
than precious metals, have been de-
veioped during the last six
or eight years. Last year the
agricultural products of the state
exceeded by several millions the whole
product of gold, silver and lead. Manu-
featuring and other interests have grown
largely, but there are large sections de-
pendent almost wholly on mining. and
the merchants Of many small towns do
business with none but miners. The
belief is widespread that if the report to
the Brussels conference is decidedly
averSe TO free coinage, there will be all
other heavy drop in silver and that half
the mines now being worked will be
closed. Under 70 cents there is not
likely there will be a dozen purely sill
yer mines in operation. Banks, mer-
chants and stores have put themselves
in the strongest possible condition to
meet the emergency, and though the
closing of the mines would create a gen
eral stringency and cause hardship to
thousands of men, it will not likely pre-
cipitate a commercial crash,

PLENTY OF SILVER.
The Treasury Has No Trouble il
Getting the White Metal.

Getting the White Metal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Treasury Of
ficials attach no special significance TO
today's dispatches from Denver, Col,
in regard to the panicky condition of
the silver mining interests in Colorado.
The fact that many of the small mines
are abandoned is taken to indicate
simply that they are played out
and can no longer be worked at
profit. The natural result of
such condition is departure of
the miners for other fields of labor. 1t
is held tina. the recent depreciation of
silver in the London market and the
predicted failure of the international
conference to advocate a more liberal
use of silver as money can have no di-
rect bearing on the present situation in
Colorado, for the reason that silver has
risen in value within the past few DAYS,
the treasury paying today half cent
an ounce more than was paid Wednes-
day last. One OF the officials said today
in speaking of the subject:
1.-The production OF silver does not
appear TO be falling off at all in conse-
quence of the shutting down of the
small mines in Colorado. and so far we
have experienced no difficulty whatever
in securing our 100000 ounces of that
metal every month. Of course, the
mines that don't pay are constantly
closing down, but it is hardly due to a
depreciation in silver. The production
of silver always falls off in the winter
modths, but the smelterS generally
have enough of the ore on hand to keep
them busy. One reason why l am sure
there is no indication of a decrease in
the production of silver lies in the fact
that several of the largest smelling and
refining companies in Omaha, Denver
and Kansas City are charging their
plants.'

DIVORCE AND MONEY.
Frank Christian. a Chicago Insur-
anCe Man, Wants the First
From His Wife.
Edward Plows, Wealthy Candy
Merchant, Asked to Fur
niSh the Lucre.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Frank Christian,
one of the best-known insurance men
in the city, began two sensational suits
in the superior court today. One WAS
a bill for divorce from his young wife.
Marguerite, and the other was suit for
$4,000 damages against Edward Flows,
the candy merchant. whom he charges
with alternating the affections of his
wife. All parties to the suit are wealthy
and move in the best society circles.
Flows is married.
Attorney Willett, who represents
Christian, made a statement this even
ing in which he said that Christian first
met his wife six years ago through his
friend Flows. 1t was a case of love at
first sight, aud, after short courtship,
the couple were married. Six weeks
ago Attorney Willets says Christian
found bundle of love letters written
to his wife by Piows, which proved that
at the time he introduced the woman 10
his friend he was very friendly with
her, and the intimacy continued up to
the time of the discovery.

MADE A NEW AGREEMENT
Trans Missouri Roads Form New

Trans Missouri Roads Form New
Association.
CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-The general freight
agents of the Trans Missouri roads, who
have been In session in this city for sew
eral days. adjourned this evening after
adopting all agreement for the protec-
ton of freight rates in their territory.
The, committee of three appointed to re-
portqa plan of organization to take the
place. at least tie nlpOrarily. of the asso-
citation that went out of existence Nov.
10 submitted its recommendations to-
day. After considerable discussion
the a main features of the plan
were adopted, and will be put
into effect as soon as the
necessary arrangements can be made
1t proviaes for the appointment of three
rate committees, one for Nebraska, one
for Kansas, and the third for Colorado
Utah traffic. Each committee is to have
charge Of all rate matters in its particu-
lar territory, but they are to work in
harmony and are to hold quarterly meet
ingS for the consideration of questions
requiring legislation. General meet
ings may be called at any time OIL the
request Of members. A permanent sec
rotary is to be chosen to keep the rec
OrdS Of all the meetings, but every
meeting will elect its own presiding
officer from among the members pres
ent. thus saving the salary of a regular
chairman. The headquarters of the
new combination will be at Kansas
City, aud it is understood that Mr.. Nc
Fadden will he retained as secretary.
By this agreement. which is chiefly re
markable for its simplicity, provision is
made for the preservation of freight
rates west of the Missouri river.
In the meantime passenger rates in
that territory are becoming badly
demoraliZed. The Union Pacific is ac-
cuSed of paying commission of S. on
every ticket sold over its line from the
Missouri river to Colorado points. When
the Trans MisSOuri association was in
existence there was a rule fixing the
maximum commission at 81 OH such
business. and some of the roads contend
that this rule should still be observed.
The Union Pacific insists, however,
that it was not the first to increase the
commission, and that 1t will be time
enough for its competitors to make
charges when they have purified their
own households. Owing to the bad feel
ing between the Union Pacific and it's
Colorado competitors, growing ont of
the quarrel over Pacific coast business,
there is little prospect of all early agree
ment tor the establishment and main
tenance of tranS-MiSSouri passenger
rates.

MURDERED BY MALTA.
a Tragedy Bearing This Bloody
SOrietX'S NfarkS

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 9.-The details
of a horrible crime reached the city last
night, and the evidence points to an
outbreak of the Malta in Louisiana.
Between IL and II O'clock Wednesday
night what will probably be a triple as
saSsination took place at Convent, st.
James parish. The place where the
crime was committed was the levee
bank on the size of what had been the
celebrated Nita crevesse. 1t is one of
the most lonely spots in the parish.
Yesterday morning Deputy Constable
Joseph MoultoD, while riding along the
leVee, came upon the traces of terri
BILE struggle. A little further on be
found two dead bodies. Investigating
the matter further, Moulton came upon
man badly wounded and nearly dead.
The man was quickly attended by ply
sicianS, and after time recovered suf-
ticiently to tell the following story:
My name is Stephano Werita. Tues
day night l and two friends, one named
Antonio PaOli and another whose name
/ don't know, met four men at the
French market. The men. as far as we
know. are LUZ Lugio, SABBATH MareW
and two others whose names are I'M
known. The four men we met induced
us to go to st. James parish under
promise of getting US work Wednesday.
We left New Orleans Wednesday night
and took the train, checking our bag
gage for Convent station. When we
got to the leyee Lugio asked me what
time it was. lpulled out my watch and,
rs | replied that it was just $50 o'clock,
l.uglo shot me in the back.
My two companions were stand
ing near me at the time. Marew
stood by the unknown young
man who was with me and the sixth
man, the stranger, was by Paoli. AS
Lugio shot me the sixth man drew
knife and slashed the young man near
him. He fed with his assaiant in pur-
suit. He stumbled and fell near the
chain-break, and the man chasing him
