Lord salisbury's Recent Speech and What
1t Is Thought to Forecast.
Lord Salisbury's speech in the upper
house during the debate ON Indian finance
Is regarded as definite procurement
in favor of international bimetalGsm. 1t
is possibly destined to have momentous
consequences. Sanguine bimetallists pre-.
dict the early inclusion of their currency
scheme as plank Of the orthodox Tory
platform, but that is scarcely probable
until the numerous Tory monometallists
have been converted.
The subject acquired considerable
prominence in the Accrington election
contests, but that is scarcely to be Won
dered at, because Lancashire has long
been the stronghold Of bimetallism.
Even the Liberal newspapers Of that
county are compelled, owing to the pres
sure of local opinion, to keep an open
mind on currency matters, and some Of
them at present are giving considerable
space tc the discussion Of the silver prob
lem.
The Liverpool Post, an influential Lib
eral organ, gave prominence the other
day to a letter advocating the adoption
by England and her dependencies and the
United States of second. or silver, in.

There were two other passengers. a mar
and a woman.
The stage left Aqua Caliente at 2 a. m
and had gone only couple of leagues
when the driver suddenly refined up at Q
call from the roadside. where four men
on horseback sat coolly pointing re.
volvers at his head. There was no de

ner of the highwaymen the driver could
draw no idea of the nature Of their de.

courteously requested the young lady to

vining the plot she begged the passengers
to save her. Valdez warned them to dc
nothing, and as they had no firearms
they dared not protest against the &C.
tons Of the bold robbers.
After urging Miss Newman to come
out without avail, Valdez and his com.
panion laid hold Of her and carried her
to the horses. placing her upon one and
tying her to the saddle. The girls
shrieks and tears had no effect either in
hurrying the men or arousing their
anger. When they were again mounted
and ready to leave. Valdez turned to the
driver and said calmly, go, friend

The driver lost no time in accepting
the permission. and the agitated passen.

and passengers reported the matter on
arriving at Mazatlan and gave the
names Of Librado and Bernardo Valdez

cousins.
Valdez is dare devil and spendthrift,

CAN'T GET MARRIED At HOME.
A. sitnation which Is caasinr Bstrsshs
!. Coupres Confederate Aonovanee

A sitaation whith Is Csnsinr Bstreshed
! Couples Considerable Annoyance.
A young man and young woman
came over the line from New Brunswick
the other day and were married here,
says Calais correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Herald. They had no difficulty in
finding minister to unite them, al
though they very frankly explained that
they couldn't have got married in their
native place in New Brunswick.
The reason for this seeming anomaly
lies in the fact that Governor Boyd Of
New Brunswick is dead, and that every
marriage license must be signed by the
governor to be legal. 1t is true that it
was Governor Boyd's custom, as by
statute he was authorized to do, to sign
quantities of these licenses in blank and
to distribute them to the various officers
throughout the province whose business
it is to attend to such things, to be filed
in as circumstances required.
Now, there is a very fine legal point
involved. The question is whether. dur
ing the interregnum caused by Governor
Boyd's death and until the Dominion
government appoints his successor, these
marriage licenses signed by Governor
Boyd are good. Can they be used until
a new governor is sent down, or are they
useless as not bearing the signature OF
the actual governor of the province?
This is what is agitating the minds of
the New Brunswick lawyers, and es-
pecially of the betrothed couples. They
may indeed adopt the old fashioned
method of calling the banns, but that
takes time, and time counts when the
wedding day is set and the invitations
are out.
Perhaps they had best do as the afore-
mentioned couple did-go to Calais. and
thus make assurance doubly sure.

The Congo Railroad.

The opening Of the first section OF the

in this country. chiefly because it is due
to Belgian enterprise. But for all that.
British traders already realize the vast
possibilities involved and are actively

trade. The road at present extends from
Matadi to Kenge. and thence will be
pushed as rapidly as possible to Stanley

Drained a Lake by Boring Hole.

In Florida Life is an article from the
pen of b. w. Partridge of Monticello
with the above title. In it he describes
the effect of the drought of 1891 on Lake
Miccosukie. one of the largest lakes in
middle Florida, when about 5000 acres
Of water became dry land for a spell.
The rainy season of 1893 filed it with
water again.
Mr.. Partridge conceived the idea that
the lake could be drained by boring holes
in its bottom and organized a company
to try it.
Experts were engaged to examine and
report on the plan. and the result was
that the company has bored a number of
holes in the bottom of Lake MIccosukie,
and the water is rushing down through
them via subterranean passage to the
gulf. In few months they expect to
permanently drain the lake and thus re-
cover 10000 acres Of valuable land.
