Holden BOYS in Peril.

Ii. Holden, and his brother Robert
Holden. aged five and twelve years, were
padding about near the foot of Franklin
street yesterday forenoon. By some means
the younger boy fell out of the boat and
sank out of sight. His brother gave a cry
for help and seeing no one in the vicinity
who could aid him plunged into the
water after his brother and held him up
until assistance arrived. The plucky
little fellow was pulled out of the water
and the younger boy taken to Ehis home
on Anderson street. He soon recovered
and both boys were all right at last re-
ports. -

When the time comes tor nomi-
mating candidates for state offices
South Arkansas will probably put
up a representative man for one or
two places. She has not only been
ignored in this respect, but some of
the state officials she has helped to
elect have seemed to forget entire
ly that 1t is a part of the great
state of Arkansas. The fact is,

WAR NEWS.

The pulpit and peace societies are
laundering their protests against
war with England. They all say
that the question can be settled
peacefully, and should be done.
The American Peace Society, of
Boston, which includes among its
members Hon. Edward Atkinson,
Hon. Robert Treat Paine, Mrs. .Ju-
liza Ward Howe and others,
at a meeting passed resolutions de-
claring against war between the
United States and Great Britain,
and asserting that the Monroe Doc
trine means first the safety of the
United States, and second the pro-
lection of this hemisphere from
European oppression.
The ministers of all the large pull
pits in the country are for peace,
and condone that the English
speaking people should think OF
war, much less talk of it.
The President has not named the
commission yet, but is in correspon-
dence with those whom he wishes
to appoint, and will not make their
names known until he gets their
consent to act.
1t is known that Representative
Beech, of Ohio, will introduce a bill
in Congress authorizing the Presi-
dent of the United States to call an
international conference. This con-
ference is to be composed of mem
bers appointed by the governments
of other American republics for the
purpose of a formal acceptance OF
the Monroe doctrine as a principle
Of international law, the United
States to pay the expense of the
same.
The House Republicans will intro
duce a bill on the 26th, and pass
within the week, two bills in res
ponse to President Cleveland's ap
peal for help for the Treasury One
bill will be tariff bill to increase
the revenue, the other a financia
plan to maintain the gold reserve
and to prevent alleged trouble witt
greenbacks. This bill will provide
for two issues of bonds, one to draw
3 per cent, the other 2 per cent.

its continued prosperity tor over a

immediate supervision, employing
go hands in that department. They

will soon be let and workmen put on

During the period in which gold
usually flows into this country it
has this season gone steadily out.
We have to date suffered a net loss
of about $66, 900, 900 in gold. AS we
are now entering upon the season
in which gold naturally flows from
this country to Europe there is
very little hope for a turning of the
tide. If the war scare should as
sumo formidable proportions the
fight of gold would no doubt be ac-
celebrated. Unless Congress inter
venes we may look for more bond
issues by the President.

been made in the case of a banker
at Waukon, Iowa, who goes to the
penitentiary for five years and fined
$4,000 for traudulently receiving
money on deposit after his bank
was known to be insolvent. 1t was
charged that he had defrauded de.
positors OF nearly $4,000. There

THE RAFFLE.

Last night the rattle for ten
prizes came off at the Palace Drug
Store. A great crowd ofgentlemen
we're on hand to throw the little
cubes that would decide who were
the fortunate winners.
Mr.. Will Carr was master OF cere'
monies and he asked that those
holding chances appoint two gentle
men to take the matter in hand and
see that all had a fair shake" and
a fair count. Mr.. Ed Shut and
Justice R. ]. Haywood were selected
and the ball was opened.
The reporter could not help but
notice some elegant ladies present,
who stood behind the counter, near
the prescription case, and who
seemed to take great interest in
the progress of the game.
The little cubes were ratified out
of the box into wedge-wood NOR
tar and when they settled Ed Shut
would call out the aggregate OF
spots turned up, until l35 chances
were called off, when it was found
that the following were the win
ners.

MIR. Kingsley came to st. Paul in

MILES TALKS TOO MUCH.
Cleveland and Lamont Very Much
AunOved at Him.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec ga special
to the Globe-Democrat from Washing
ton says: The president and Secretary
Of War Lamont are seriously consider
ing the advisability Of silencing Gen.
Miles. That they are much incensed by
the indiscreet talk in which the general
Of the army has been induiging in re-
gard to the weakness Of this country's
coast defenses and the general inabil-
ity to go to war with assurances Of
success can be positively stated. Had
it not been for the high regard in which
they both held him as soldier, and
their indisposition to inflict the indig
nifty Of rebuke on one whose services to
mis- country in the past have been merit
orious, they would have taken action
before now. But Gen. Miles in his lat
est speech, in Philadelphia, has brought
to them the limit Of their forebearance,
and another such break on his part will
in all probability lead to his suppress
ion. In his Philadelphia speech not
only did Gen. Miles blazon out the de-
fenseiesg condition Of his country, but
the whole undercurrent Of the position
taken by the president. His chances
for acquiring the title of lieutenant
general have been lessened, 1t is
thought, by his recent Gtterapces,
