All through the spring and sum
mer four deer made merry on the
banks of the West Canada creek oppo-
site the village of Northwood, N. y.
The residents are truer sportsmen than
are usually found in the Adirondack
wilderness, and their respect for the
game laws caused them to leave the
deer in peace. As . result the latter
became very bold, and were frequent-
~ seen along the banks of the stream.
The deer season opened on August Is.
and on the night Of the 18th some Of
the hunters made preparations to can
ture those deer. They began their
hunt Immediately after midnight and
continued il until after sunrise, but
without result Since then several
parties have searched in vain for tia
deer, and now the hunters believe tha&
they have gone back into the heart Of
the woods, and arc wondering how the
animals learned that the season Aaa
opened.

Partial Resumption of tho Charters

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 14.-One Of
the most despicable schemes of which
a man could be- guilty was laid bare
in the local pension Office. A pension at
to-ney has been urging the old soldiers
TO organize and assassinate President
Grover Cleveland and Secretary Hoke
Smith of the department of the
Interior. The man is reputed to be of
sound mind, but in the light of his in
famous scheme his reputation on that
point will likely need Investigation.
The pension attorney has been enraged
at Secretary Smiths endeavor to make
the pension lists rolls of honor.

TRUTHS ABOUT TARIFF REFORM.
Absurdity of Scare stories Related for Re-
publican Capital.

Absurdity of Scare Stories Related for Re-
publican Capital
It seems scarcely possible that any
one should believe that the depression
in business is due to the election OF
Cleveland, and the hope that the need
less burdens of the people will be re-
moved. Still many persons assert it
very confidently; and, although the
leaders know better, those who take
their opinions at secondhand may not,
in every case. But the facts Of the sit
uation, when examined, show that
such assertions are absurd.
During the first half of the year 1898
the manufacturing business was pros
porous. 1t was perfectly well known
all the time that . reform of the tariff
was contemplated, but there was no
panic. Forty-eight textile companies
were organized in the south during the
six months ended June 80, 1898, while
but thirty-one were organized in the
corresponding part of 1892. The cotton
mills actually set in operation during
this period are put by the Textile
World at twenty-fonr against forty
during the frs. half of 1892; but the
same authority says that the mills this
year were of good size and In strong
hands, and that their productive ca
pacity will compare favorably with
those started last year. The same
paper says that the dividends Of the
Fall River mills for May, June and
July last averaged All per cent. or at
the rate of neatly nine per cent. per
annum. OF mills for knitted goods
ffty-one were opened during the first
half of 1893. against forty eight in the
corresponding part of 1892.
Now, it is very plain that II the pros
pect of tariff reform had been going Ia
paralyze business, it would have begun
operations directly after the election.
Instead of that, we find manufacturers
building and opening new mills, and or
ganizing new companies for the purpose
of building and opening Others. Every
thing was promising until the disturb
ance in the money market. the closing
of banks and the violent contraction of
credits paralyzed at once the producers
ability to manufacture, the merchants
to sell and the consumers to buy. As
the money market shows signs of inn
provement with the prospect Of the re
peal of the Sherman act. mills and fac
tories. east and west, begin to start up
again. as was shown by the reports VI
the past week. These incidents point
out Enthusiastically at once the cause Of
the trouble and the remedy.
There IS no panic material in tariff
reform. The people have demanded il
by decisive vote. Some few favored
interests may fear il but to the masses
of the people it win bring healing and
relief.-L,uisvillc Courier-,Iournal.

WAsHBURN, . NORTH DAKOTA
"a PLOTTING IN BOGOTA.

Start n Riot and Ave snot
Panama, Feb. 6. There has been q
serious riot at Bogota, which lasted lot
two days. 1t is said that 100 men were
wounded. The riots are in no sense
political. The trouble grew out OF the
publication of an article in the news
papers by a professor in a local jesuit
college, alleging widespread ignorance
among the laboring classes. The artl-
sans rose en- mnsse and q mob of about
400 gathered about the house of Gutter
rez, stoned the building and broke the
windows and doors. The police remon-
strated with the rioters, but they were
driven away. They returned with rein
forccments and u collision occurred, IN
which shots were exchanged. The po-
lice were victorious. Another fight oc-
Cured later in the day, but the rioters
were dispersed. Everything was quiet
the next morning, but at 5 o'clock in
the evening the w%orkingmen gathered by
thousands in San Victoranio square, Las
Cruces ward and in the public market.
They o~verpowered the police and for
a while were in full possession of the
city. Newspaper offices were sacked and
q general assault was commenced on the
police barracks. The government called
out the military, md after a sharp fight
the mob was dispersed. The capitol is
still in q state of siege, although 1t IS
officially announced that quiet has been
restored.

WHAT THEY THINK OF IT.
THE SOLONS ON ANNExA-
TON.
The Members Of the Senate and
House Give Their Opinions
The Annexation Idea IL
Not Exceedingly
Popular.
Will we or win We Not.

VIII We VI III w ~
New York. Feb. 1.-THE Washington
correspondent of the Herald has made
a careful poll of the senate and house
upon the questions: "Shall Hawaii be
al re1ed?" "Shall the United States es-
tablish a protectorate over those ISL
ands?"
The poll of the senate is unusually
large. eighty-three out of lightweight
members of that body having been seen.
Five senators are out of the city. Of
the other eighty-three, three are against
favor upon a protectorate. Twenty are
decidedly in favor of annexation md
very generally agree that a protectoratc
does lot go far enough. Thirty-ive
prefer a protectorate and twenty-five re-
fused to place themselves on record at
this time because they had not yet had
an opportunity to study the question. In
nearly every instance in which senators
objected to expressing themselves, they
expressed the belief that something
should be lone to prevent any other coun-
try from getting control Of the Hawaiian
islands.
The poll of the house was taken on
the question of annexation, as this is the
only question on which that body would
be- called upon to pass judgment. Eighty
three representatives favor. forty-six are
against it and seventy-seven are nom
commital. Nearly all of the forty-six
representatives who refused to place
themselves on record agree that some ac-
ton Should be taken.

The, Conference.

Washington, Feb. Preliminary to
the conference tomorrow between the
secretary Of state and the Hawaiian
annexation commissioners, conferences
were held to-day at the White House
between tho president, Secretaries John
w. Foster anil Tracy, and Attorney
General Miller. Mr.. Foster had q talk
with the president on the subject in the
morning, and in the afternoon they were
again together, with Secretary Tracy and
Mr.. Miller also present. What was ac-
complished at these conferences cannot
be ascertained, but their frequency and
the length of time they lasted are
grounds for the belief that the govern
ment will have some definite information
to impart to the commissioners ut to-
morrow's session bearing on the policy
of the United States regarding the an
nexation question. The secretary of
state said to-day that no arrangements
had been made for the reception of the
Huwaiians by the president.
