Him from Writing.

Him from Writing.
WASHINGTON, Nov 28-In view of the
circulation OF rumors to the effect that
the condition of President CLEVELAND is
much worse than has been represented, his
private secretary was to-day asked for a
statement of the facts. In response he
said that the President has been suffering
from an acute attack of rheumatism or
rheumatic gout. He has been subject to
these attacks for years past, and this is
by no means more severe than others he
has experienced. For couple of days
he was confined. to his bed but he has
passed the most violent stage of his mall
ady, and. although still suffering some PAIN

unless something unforeseen occurs. The
President does not occupy a. gout couch,
but sits in an easy chair, with his af-
filcted foot resting on a cushion, and lies
down only at intervals when the limb be-

improving. and it is expected that he will

CANADA,s TIMBER SUPPLY.
Evidence that the Forests Are Nearly
Depleted Of Certain Woods.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.--A sign Of the
times that should be of special interest to
the South is conveyed in a report to the
State Department from United States Con-
sui Bishop. of Chatham, Canada, upon the
general subject of the effect Of the new
tariff in western Ontario. Among other
things he notes the fact that large stave

well as in Ontario. have resumed manufac-

year will show a saving to the consumer
of from to 10 per cent. and with only
five years timber ahead to cut from it is
not likely they will go any lower The
capitalists behind this Industry are buying
timber tracts in the Southern States for
future supply. Canadians are also begin

DEPRESSION in FRANCE.

I
Traders and PrOtectiOnists.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-There appears
to be curious resemblance between the
commercial situation i'm France and that in
the United States arising from diametrical-
ly opposite causes, as set forth in report
to the Department Of State by stephen
ANGELA, United States commercial agent at
Roubaix. He quotes from leading French
authority, as follows: THE commercial
situation is grave, or appears to be. which
is the same thing for the general public.
There are protectionists and free-traders.
both of whom seek the solution according
to their respective views of the financiaf
policy now in force which Is decidedly a
protectionist one. The financial crisis Is
contemporaneous with the inauguration OF
the new tariff, and the supporters OF this
tariff are called on to explain the fact that
from the commencement Of the year 1882.
which was the date of the enactment OF
the new tariff. until Sept 80. 1894. there vas
100000 francs. Bad times exist. They COM
menced with the new tarfn. Therefore,
the tariff Is the cause. Such is the reason
ing which the free-traders put forward,
but the protectionists point to the fact that
France does not suffer alone from the dimi-
mutton of the exports; that England, a
country with free-trade policy, has suf-
fered as well, and that the depression
which exists in France is experienced
everywhere. 1t is generally admitted, new
ertheless. that the tariff is responsible for
the falling off of 699,0 900 francs In ex-
portations to Spain and 50, 200 900 to Switz-
erland during these thirtysix months. The
result is that the free-traders and sunerers
from the depression i'm general are crying
out loudly and are demanding change in
the existing legislation.

BAKER OWED 500, 600.
Shoe and Leather Bank Will Endeav-
or tn Recover Part OF the Money.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S-Six actions have
been begun by the National Shoe and
Leather Bank against as many parcels
of real estate in this city, which. IL is
claimed, were purchased by the late Fred
erick Baker with money belonging TO the
bank 1t is claimed that Baker fraudulent
ly obtained the money by conspiracy with
Seeley, and that Baker invested the money
in real estate in the names OF other persons
for his own benefit, and that he actually
owned some of the property. 1t is de-
clared in, the bill that previous to Jan. 1.
1891, Bater owed the bank at least 100000,
which he obtained in collusion with book
keeper Seeley and fraudulentIy appropri-
ated to his own use. 1t is declared that
Baker died insolvent and that he made
transfers or his property In order to de-
fraud his creditors, and particularly the
bank.
Herbert L. Ogden, counsel for the estate
of the late Frederick Baker, made another
general statement this afternoon. IF Mr.
said. ''he certainly got less than one-half
or one-third the amount stolen from the
tnins % said tnn Mr. ogden Suddenly sV checRing
himself. I'VE don't concede that he got
one cent Of the banks money. and so far
to base such charge" Mr.. Ogden rid
iculed the story that the Bakers had lived
up to a sum of almost $4,000 a year.

decided the amount Of reward they will
offer for Seeley's capture. Cashier Won

are still unknown. Lawyer Angel, to whom
Seeley made his confession of guilt and
who Is supposed TO know much more than

Act1Om OF the silver conference
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 2S.-The silver confer
ence which is being held here under the
auspices OF the American Bimetallic League
continued it's sessions behind closed doors
to-day. The committee appointed yesterday
to prepare a declaration of principles and
outline a plan OF action, could not at first
agree. All were united on free silver at a
ratio of 16 to ], but the difference Of opin-
ion between the members of the commit
tee. it was said, was with regard to other
matters. This evening General Warner
gave out the resolutions adopted by the
conference. He refused to talk of what had
been done in the meeting, declaring that
the resolutions contained everything. These
resolutions, after reciting that the fall in
prices was due TO the conspiracy of the
money power TO demonetiZe silver, denounc-
ing the issuance of bonds to maintain the
government credit, the proposed delegating
to banking institutions of the right TO issue
paper currency, calls upon supporters OF
free silver to subordinate everything to the
election of men pledged to the coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and provides

past six years he has been state ento-
mologist of Minnesota. He teaches
practical zoology and botany in the
state university, his instruction con-
sisting of lectures. He has written a
text book on entomology.
Entomology is the science which
treats of insects. Few men are as
well versed in this science as Prof.

make the information gained by the
study of the subject of practical bene-
fit. He has accomplished much that
has been of benefit to the farmers of
Minnesota. He receives no compen-

is now engaged upon and the people
owe him debt of gratitude for the

He makes friends with all who meet
