The recent republican victory was
without doubt the result Of the hard
times that have prevailed ever since Mr..
Cleveland resumed the presidential Of.
fee. and was largely brought abont by
the delays Of giving this country better
tariff legislation than was inflicted upon
the American industries by the McKin.
ley bill. Had the democratic msjority
In congress occupied less time in passing
the Wilson bill and devoted little time
to the silver question, far different re
suit would have been the outcome Of the
last election. Instead Of an oyerwhel,n.
ing republican msjoritv, the democratic
majority would have been increased.
The defeat Of the rer ublicans two years
ago, Mr.. Clevelands reelection TO the
presidential Office, was due the di,
satisfaction Of the American people with
the Mckinley bill. 1t was clearly then

day, and the announcement that the out
pat for May is to be restricted to $500, 900

THE GREAT LANDSLIDE
Farmer dauthisT and His Family Buried
Undnr TonA Of Earth.

Farmer dAuthisT and His Family Buried
Under Tons Of Earth.
ST. ALBANs, Que, May 2-Samuel Gau-
thler, farmer Of st. Albans, his wife,
their son Joseph, and David Gauthier,
their brother, are buried under hundred
feet of earth by the terrible landslide of
Friday last. Some say that Madame Gau-
thier was seen going down into the St.
Anne river while trying to save herself by
running away, but the velocity Of the
moving earth was so great that she was
carried along by it, and while crying for
help was drawn into the wild maelstrom.
For miles there is nothing but desola-
ton. Where the st. Anne river was once
nearly mile wide IL is now only a narrow
stream, raging and surging in a vain at
tempt to break its new bounds Woods,
houses cattle, all are gone, and nothing is
left but the barren ground Of uneven
height for six miles back. Here and there
the debris Of the i'll fated farm houses,
granaries and outhouses are seen in the
little heaps tangled up with uprooted
trees and carcasses of dead cattle, but
most of it has been swept into the river
and carried long since into the St. Law
renee, and thence toward the ocean.
The shores of the river are of peculiar
formation and rise $50 feet above the level
of the water, except for a mile or so where
the slide occurred. Here for almost seven
miles back the earth now has gentle de-
chvity and is nearly level with the river,
whose bed has risen at least sixty feet.
The lower soil of the river bank is com
posed of clay, honeycombed by the water
that for years back has filtered through
from the Laurentian mountains. 1t was
8 o'clock in the evening when these clay
banks caved in, and with the hundreds Of
tons Of sand on top slid into the river.
The water rose for miles. 1t was fully 100
feet high when the earth began again to
move, first slowly, then faster, and finally
so fast that those who were fleeing were
thrown down. 1t is n miracle indeed that
no more human lives were lost. The
ground near the river slipped off first and
the house nearest was that of Gauthiers
which shared the fate Of the pulp mill
sent down by the first break in the shore.

WILMINGTON, Del, May 2-Six thousand
dollars in greenbacks mysteriously disap-
peared from the safe in the Adams express
car on the Delaware, Maryland and Vir-
ginia railroad. At Milford the money was
handed to Messenger George Rawley, by
an officer of the Milford National bank. 1t
was consigned to the Philadelphia Ma
tional bank. AS the train approached
Harrington Rawley, as was his custom,
jumped from the car and turned the
switch. When he returned he unlocked
the safe and found the money missing. II
is supposed the money was taken by some
one on the train familiar with the safe.
