WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 9.-Mr.

At a. m. his physicians issued the fol-
lowing bulletin:
''Mr. Blaine's condition has been
more favorable this afternoon. He is
now, at midnight, sleeping quietly and
shows fair degree of health.

for the worse will take place tonight,
although no positive assurance can be
given on this point. AS compared with

From the time of issuance of the mid
night bulletin up to a. m. today no
one entered the Blaine house, and every
indication pointed to some hours Of
tranquility. The blinds were drawn
down closer and the lights were turned
lower, and all had settled into quiet.

the democratic members show dispo-
sition to raise the rates on spirituous
and fermented liquors and tobacco.
The more conservative of them propose
to make the tax on distilled spirits 81
per gallon instead of $1.25. At the 81
rate, they say, there would be little in
ducement for owners of spirits in bond
to withdraw them. while the increase
would bring to the treasury $40. 600, 600.
Others prefer the higher rate and will
favor a bill containing a provision in

from Benton Harbor, St. Joseph. Hol-

but most severe in the vicinity of the
places named. The snow drifted into
the cuts and delayed railroad traffic

also badly blockaded. Trains on the
Chicago & West Michigan road have

Archbishop John Ire aud u the 40
Cuser.
Archbishop Corrigan Of New York Charged
with Conspiracy Against
Mgr. SatOlli.

MINNEAPoLIs. Jan. g-The Chicago
Sunday Post of yesterday published. a
long article containing the startling in
formation that the Most Rev. John Ire
land. archbishop of st. Paul. has pre-
ferred charges against the Most Rev.
N. A. Corrigan, archbishop of New
York. Archbishop Corrigan is accused
of having engaged in an unlawful con-
spiracy to weaken or undo the effect Of
the pope's decisions in respect to church
matters in America. and of having re-
course to methods unbecoming pre-
late of the Roman Catholic church, and
designed to discredit and disgrace
Archbishop Ireland and Mgr. Satolli.
the papal ALLOCATE IN America.
These charges, duly formulated, are
now on their way to Rome, where they
will be presented to the highest tribu-
nal in the Roman Catholic church. That
tribunal has a power to pass upon the
accusations and to fix the punishment
of the accused. if they are sustained.
The decision will be eagerly awaited,
for each of the prelates has been con-
sidered as an object of the pope's favor
able regard in respect of the new Amer
lean cardinalate, which it is said will
be conferred at the approaching jubi-
lee. and the future of both prelates will
in all probability be decided by the re-
suit of the tribunals deliberations. The
differences between Archbishop Ireland
and Archbishop Corrigan are of long
standing, and each has large follow
ing among the hierarchy, priesthood
and laiety of the church in America,
and all these are likely to be more or
less affected by the decision.
Archbishop Ireland would not talk
today about the story that he had for
warded charges to the pope that Arch
bishop Corrigan and others had formed
a conspiracy for the overthrow of Mgr.
Satolli and himself He had read the
story, but would say nothing about it.
However, Rev. DIR. John Conway, editor
of the Northwestern Chronicle, who
stands nearest Archbishop Ireland of
all ecclesiastics in the northwest. gave
q statement to the Associated Press con-
frming the publication.

Oil of Peppermint.

More than one-half of all the oil
of peppermint, spearmint and tansy
used in the world is said to be pro-
cured and distilled in Michigan.
The center of the industry is St.
Joseph County. Peppermint plants
to the weight of $1,000 tons when
dried are cultivated every year in
the state. From these the essential
oils are distilled. Early in the
spring the roots are planted in fur
rows from two to three feet apart.
In "a day a good workman will
plant an acre with them. A few
weeks later the rows meet and cover
the entire ground. In September
the plants mature. They are then
covered with fragrant purple bios
SONS and the time has arrived for
moving. After lying in the sun
to dry they are raked into heaps
and taken to the distilleries, of
which there are about 80 in the
state. 1t is estimated that $50
pounds of dried peppermint plants
produce one pound of oil. The
yield per acre is fifteen pounds of
oil. Distilled peppermint brings
from S1.25 to SIS per pound in the
home market. The industry was
originally established in Mitcham,
Eng, about $50 years ago. Early
in the present century a beginning
was made in this country, in Wayne
Co., N. Y, and in st. Joseph, Mich,
To-day nine-tenths of the entire
product of the world is made in the
United States. The rich alluvial
sold so abundant in Michigan, to-
gether with it's desirable climate, has
enabled the state to take precedence
over any other state or country in
this industry. New York Post.

any lake storm.
Her engine Is fore and aft compound
condensing one. The high pressure cylin-
der is 81 inches in diameter, and the low
pressure cylinder has diameter OF 81
inches, while the length of stroke is 80
inches. Plenty OF steam is generated in
the marine boiler which Is 16 feet long
and 81 feet in diameter. The boiler is
covered with about two inches of patent
non-c onducting composition, and so well
does it do the work that very little heat
is felt when person stands on the boil
er.

Approach of the Aluminium Age

The obstacle to the general SUBJ
stitution of aluminium for iron
and steel in the arts has been the
high cost of extracting it from the
native clay. This has been partial
ly overcome by progressive improve
ments in the process of manufac-
ture, but still aluminium remains
too costly to be thought Of as a
substitute for the baser metals, not
withstanding its advantages in
other respects. The reported dis
covery of extraordinary rich depos-
it's of aluminium clay in Alabama
and Georgia indicates a long step
forward for the white metal. Six
countries in these two states are
said to be underlaid with bauxite
ore, some of which has yielded as
high as 4S per cent of pure alum
inium. If the reports from these
counties are reliable the aluminium
age is approaching.-New York

Why Wheat and Cotton are Low.

Treasury circular shows that our
exports of breadstuffs, meat and
dairy products during the nine
months ending with March | were
nearly S100,000,000 less than oul
exports of the same articles in the
corresponding nine months of the
year before. Include cotton and
the shrlnkage shown would be
much greater. And yet prominent
Wall street bankers, who are GER
tainly well informed about foreign
exchange, are saying that the 'bal-
ance of trade" is in "our favor
This means neither more nor less
than that, shrunk as the Treasury
figures show our exports to be, our
imports are still smaller.
What is more, the imports that
do come consist very largely of
costly articles of luxury, lightly
taxed, for the use of the benefciar-
les of the tariff, while cheaper arti-
cles of universal necessity which
the victims of the tariff want, are
shutout by prohibitory schedules.
If the Mckinley tariff had had
the effect of stimulating a healthy
foreign trade, both in exports and
imports the protectionists would
be clamorous for it's repeal. From
the protectionist's standpoint, a
protective policy would be midsum-
mer idiocy if it's effect were to pro-
mote the exchange of products be-
tween American farmers and
foreign manufacturers. The sole
aim of the protectionists is to shut
Americans out Of foreign markets
and compel everybody in this
country, as nearly as may be, to buy
their wares from monopolies created
by the act of Congress in Mr..
Blaine's "nine industrial States"
This effect the Mckinley act is
having. And as foreigners cannot
buy from us unless we buy from
them, our exportable surplus Of
wheat, meats and cotton goes beg
ging a market That is one reason
why the prices of wheat and cotton
are distressingly low.-St Louis Re-
nublic.
