Especial to the Press.]
HALIFAX, February 10.-Mrs. Cameron,
native of the State of Maine, has been
undergoing preliminary examination
at Bridgetown all this week on a charge
of numbering her husband by poison.
Her brother, Mr.. McNichol, prominent
lawyer of Calais, Me-, is here watching
the case. It is charged that after a long
course of i'll treatment Mrs. Cameron in
the house of Mrs. Farnsworth where
her husband was lodging, gave him
morphine in cup of tea which caused
| his death. The contents of the dead
mans stomach are being analysed by
st. John chemist, A report today that
the stomach had been found full of
| morphine was circulated but it is uncon-
! frmed. Mr.. Primrose is reported as say
| ing that a hurried examination showed
no morphine. Mrs. Cameron is very
sick in court. Mrs. Farnsworth, the
principal witness, has been on the stand
all day, bnt nothing fatal to the prisoner
has been elected from her. She was
said to have seen Mrs. Cameron put the
poison in the tea but now she swears
noticed no suspicious movement. The
prosecution are not yet through with her
however.
Mrs. Cameron and her friends are
highly indignant at the outrageous false
hood published in the Halifax Chronicle
that after reading the newspaper reports
Mrs. Cameron's brother felt sure she
was murderess. Mr.. McNichol has
not and never had the slightest belief
in her guilt. The day before anything
was published in Halifax Mr. McNichol
had an interview with Mr.. Daniels, an
intimate friend of Mrs. Cameron, and
from him ascertained the facts. They
travelled togethsr to Bridgetown At
Kentville, Mr.. Nichol engaged Mr. Ros-
coe for the defence. Mr.. McNichol
| travelled from Bridgetown to Annapolis
with the PRESS correspondent and
| through the PRESS man received mes
| sages from his sister. He also listened
| to a newspaper report of an interview
! with the suspected woman, and ex-
pressed his approval of the same. He
| stated that it was the story of an inno-
cent woman, and that its publication
would do much to counteract the stories
about her that were af1oat in Bridge
| town, and portion of which had been
published Upon his arrival at the Jail,
he greeted his sister with all the warmth
and sympathy that an affectionate broth
Ell could bestow upon sister under such
| circumstances, and has since done every
thing in his power to assist her. Mrs.
Cameron thinks the Chronicles false
hood is as savagely cruel as it is afro
ciously false, and that her troubles are
great enough without being bounded by
the false, malicious and cruel story pub
| lished in the Chronicle.
Rumors are afoat to the effect that
witnesses do not now tell the same story
they did some days previous. But one
must remember that person on his or
her oath is more apt to tell the truth
| than when in conversation.

The Senate passed the House bill re,

prohibiting transportation of merchan-

In the House,, in committee of the

the invalid pension appropriation bill ,
carrying $166, 4O0, 900, by cutting it down.
This gave rise to debate, without con-

GENTLEMEN:
Our daughter, twelve years old,
has always been sick Eom weakness
of the stomach and limbs; pain
across her back, and general de-
bility have kept her from school.
We could not get help for her from
the several doctors whom we tried.
The countless medicines we bought
gave her no benefit. Her appetite
never was good; all she ate was
few mouthfuls of graham bread at
a meal. Last summer we lost all
hope, for we were afraid of her
dying of consumption. Six weeks
ago she could not walk two nun
dred yards without getting very
tired. Now she can walk TO- the
city, two miles, and back, without
the least weariness; her appetite rs
such, she relishes anything q hearty
man would wish to eat. For the
first time in her life she knows
what health is.

Frank Oury's murderers have been positively identified ,'according to word received by NJ. G, Samanie- so. They are Mexican citizens, and have been hanging around Arivaca for some time. They called Oury by name during the affray, indica- ting they knew the lay of the land. One of them has a wife at Arivaca, where she is now staying. The men were identified by the blanket cap tured, their actions prior to the murder and their disappearance, The name of one of them is Marti- neg, another Asavadez. A hard rep utation has been given Asavadez and members of the family, others of whom are said to have been in- volved in bad affrays, on the other and this side of the border.-Tuc- son Citizen.

Man in South America.

There is no part of the world that offers more curious subject ofspec ulation as to it's future than the con tinent of South America, as was sci forth in an address before the Amer. ican Geographical Society by its president, MI. Gardiner c. Hubbard says Science.
 That the Amazon river system alone drains a basin of fertile land basking under climate of perpet- ual summer, greater in area than the whole of Europe, is an aston ishing fact in itself. The vast ter ritory is practically uninhabited. Its aboriginal population is disap- bearing, or has disappeared, and the whites who, in sparse numbers take their place scarcely pretend to come with the expectation of remaining. There are tracts as large as the whole of France of which we know less than of any equal area on the globe, tribes of men are living there who are yet absolutely in the stone age, and who, even by barter or dis tant rumor, never heard of tEe Eu- ropean race or the use of metals.
 The question up to which Mir. Hubbard leads his reader IS second to none in the anthropology-that of acclimation. Is it possible for the white race, when it shall be en- doWed with all the resources of science and art which it is soon to have in it's grasp, successfully to fight against the terrible odds of a tropical climate? He quotes in his favor the words of the historian Buckle, and the naturalist, Bates. He might have added others of weight, but it cannot be doubted that most of the medical observers who have devoted themselves to this vast inquiry lean to the opinion that never will the white race flourish under tropical skies.

The indications are that there is something in the compromise talk that is indulged in by the silver Senators. Voorhees and the South ern Senators generally are disposed to vote for repeal because of the pressure from the White House and not because of the demands of their constituents or because of their honest convictions. Any sort of compromise that would enable them to return to their lver-advocating constituents and point otheir votes as being in part if not wholly for silver would be gratifying to them. It is their desire to be for silver at home and for repeal at Washing ton.-Chicago Record.

The reports from West Australia confirm the statement already made of the great richness of the gold discoveries there, although their ex- tent is not determined as yet. The conditions, however, are extremely unfavorable, and there is much suf- fering among the prospectors who have gone to the new fields. Their remoteness and the absolute lack of water in that section of the coun- try must make the development of the mines slow; but there seems lit tie doubt that an important addi-
 ton to the gold supply of the
 world will come from that quarter. Engineering and Mining Journal.

TIE Review of Reviews follows up the efforts made in the Septem- Der number to secure fairer jGdg- ment of silver by a further paper in October, which is in many ways one of the most remarkable contri- buttons to the literature of the sub- ject that has appeared. MT. E. B. Howell aims to show in a concise article that gold has appreciated instead of silver's cheapening, and that we should be speaking of a $1.50 gold dollar instead of a sixty cent silver dollar. This statement has been made before of course, but we do not know Shat anyone before Mr. Howell has made just such a logical and simple argument to that end. He prepared several interest ing charts, in which he places the production and prices of the cereal and cotton crops and other staples since 1873, and compares them with the production of silver. The charts show, with striking clearness and finality that the output of silver has kept very much nearer these commodities than has the gold pro- duet. From this MT. Howell ar gues very plausibly that it would be far more just, if we are going to have monometalism, to maGe it sil- yer monometalism instead of gold. And mark the injustice of this ap- preciating standard. Mr. Howell says.
 "When the farmer has a mortgage on his land, the appreciating dollar does him threefold injustice. It shrinks the value of his land, it augments his indebtedness, and at the same time by lowering the price of his produce takes away his abil- ity to pay. The land value shrinks under the mortgage, and the mort gage spreads out over the land un til there issno margin left for the original owner, and foreclosure Is inevitable.
