spending a few days investigating hide
transactions in this vicinity. To THE

INTERNATIONAL COINAGE.

A Newspaper correspondent Predicts
Free Coinage OF silver In 100 Cent Dol
Washington Correspondence OF the Courier
Journal.
What would become Of all the wise
men OF America If we should have
free coinage of silver before the close OF
Mr.. Cleveiand's term? | do not mean
the free coinage OF so cents dollar; but
a dollar worth 100 cents. Stranger
things have happened right here in our
Western world. There is universal
financial depression all over the globe.
Business is stagnant in both hemis-
pheres. Men are out of employment in
all the grand divisions of the earth g
surface, and the wise men of the world
are becoming satisfied that the great
cause of financial and commercial and
industrial distress is the disuse of silver.
Until quite recently the United States
and India afforded vent for silver con-
&c stion but India and the United States
have said to England, France, Germany
and Holland that they will bear the load
no longer without help, and that helI
must come from commercial and finan
cia Europe. 1t is said that the young
emperor OF Germany, who is developed
into very considerable man, has beer
studying economics. AT any rate he ha'
gone on the right side OF the tariff ques
ton. He is reported as being silve
man, and If he is it is only question o
time when Germany will be as strong TO

and Germany-are all that have stood il

THE HORSES KNEW.

Their Instinct Told Them How to Get to

From the Lewiston JOURNAL.
81 had an experience to be remem-
bered once at Moosehead," said Joseph
Williams lsborer on the Lewiston
streets. "Three Of us we're out on the
lake one winters day in January when a
storm came up. We had a couple of
horses and rode on sledges made Of split
birch poles. To get home and settled in
the cabins before night came was our one
wish, but for two hours the icy clouds had
been blowing up on the horizon, and now
came down in whirl OF snow and icy
wind. In half an hour we were lost on
the ice. Two hours later we crossed our
own tracks again and knew that we had
been going about in circle.
"To stay out there all night would be
death, and to keep on travelling about
aimlessly meant to fall at last exhausted
Finally, as the wind blew keener alonl

our bronzed faces with more cutting
effect, we called halt and discussed ou
chances again. An old guide who wal
with us suggested that we let the horsel

seemed foolish, but we agreed. Striking
the horses smart clips with the whips
we were surprised to zee them turn eacl

THE WHEAT SITUATION,

what ClApp 4 Co.'S Latest Weekly Circu-
lar Says About whsat and the Outlook.
The worlds visible appears TO have de-
creased faster the past 100 days than is
usual for any similar time. Exports con-
tinue to indicate clearances for the crop
year ending July l., 1894, will be about
los. 000, 900 to 165 ,000, 900 bushels. Re-
serves appear to be drawn upon in all
sections more freely than usual. Primary
receipts are far less than usual. Madam
Rumor claims that farmers are seeding
less wheat and feeding more, and plant
ing an increased acreage to coarse grains.
A year ago, based on crop conditions,
fall seeding, weather and natural causes,
We predicted that the 1893 crop would
not be over 400 ,000. 900 bushels. From
reports at hand of acreage in winter
wheat, and likely to be seeded to spring
wheat, and weather conditions generally,
we predict that tho 1894 Weld now prom
ises to fall short of the 1893 crop. Flour
stocks are not large. The wheat visible
is liable to decrease unusually fast the
coming summer by continued exports
and drsughts by our domestic millers,
and decreased movement to primary
points by farmers.
The government report showing condi-
ton s67 is points below Is year av-
erage and "a points above the report a
year ago. The April condition nearly al
ways shows poorer than the December
report, the marked exception being for
April, 1891, when the condition was re
ported as improved l16 for the four
months ending April, 1891. The fnal
crop was placed at 6l2, 100000 by the
government Many outsiders claim thai
it exceeded zoe, 0O0, 900 bushels, and thai
the bumper crop has caused the con
tinued decline in values. We think nat
ural forces will cause light yield from ,
smaller acreage.
There are many evidences that thu
1894 acreage will be less than any sea
son for fifteen years, and perhaps full!
ofisetting the increased improvement re
ported in condition.
1t is quite possible that more activit.
and less apathy will be manifest in con
sequence Of demand, supply, crop pros
poets, and Washington legislation. in al
grain markets than for months past.

WARNING TO YOUNG WOMEN
Tight Lacing Caused the Death of Mrs
Victoria u. Wood.

Tight Lacing Caused the Death of Mrs.
Victoria u. Wood.
The fate of Mrs. Victoria E. Wood,
who died suddenly at masquerade ball
at Schrantz's hall in Albina Thursday
night, should serve as warning to all
young women. There is no doubt that
tight lacing was the direct cause Of the
woman's death. Mrs. E. Lynch, who
saw Mrs. Wood fall in the ball room, de-
cared this to be true in emphatic terms
before the coroner'e jury at the inquest
yesterday. She said she saw Mrs. Wood
come into the room. and as she raised
her arm to hang her hat on hook, she
fell forward. Mrs. Lynch ran and at
tempted to unloosen her corsets, but they
were laced SO tightly that she was unable
to do 80. When she raised the mask
she saw that Mrs, Wood was dead.
Mr.. Wood said that his wife left her
room in the Cambridge block at about
8:l5 o'clock Thursday night to go to the
masquerade ball. She often complained
Of trouble with her heart. but he did moi
consider her condition serious. He knew
that she was given to tight lacing.
1t ia admitted by all who know bel
that this was the cause Of her death
Her heart was slightly but not danger
ously diseased, but the pressure upon j
caused by the tight corsets. did not giv'
it proper chance to perform it's func
tions and it refused to act.

if. before that date, Great Britain, Ger
many end the Latin Union would agree
to open their minis to free coinage of
silver, there would be an international
agreement at once, and silver would
again become the equal of gold. No ma
ton is more interested than Great
Britain in maintaining the price Of silver,
but for years she has depended on other
nations to maintain the price. In 1878
Germany and France refused to main
tain it further, and 30 did the United
States, but Bland stepped in few years
later and made US bear more than our
part in sustaining silver, and, in 1890,
the republican party saddled on the
country the Sherman law, the effect Of
which was to cause the federal treasury
to swap gold for silver, and we are still
doing that very thing. The repeal of the
sherman act and the demonetizstion Of
silver by India are notices to England
that she must help maintain silver, and
the chances are that England will agree
to the complete rehabilitation Of silver
before the expiration Of Mr.. Cleveland'f
