Bimetallism in Prussia

Berlin, May 16.-In spite Of the
fact that the Chancellor, Prince
Hohenloe, deprecated the matter,
the Upper House of the Prussian
Diet. by a vote y to 3S, adopted
the resolution of Count Won Mirbach,
in favor of steps being taken for the
prompt settlement of the currency
question by an agreement as to in
ternational bimetallism.
During the course of the debate
the Governor of the Reichbank
warmly opposed the motion and
informed the Federal government
that they would thereby create dis
aster and disturbance. Prince Ho-
henloe stated that the Prussian
Ministry had not yet decided what
course to pursue, but he adhered
to his statement in the Reichstag
that the government would submit
the silver question to further exami-
nation in consonance with the Fed
eral government and was also willing,
ultimately, to meet the other powers
and discuss commercial measures to
be taken. But first of all the basis
of the discussion, he insisted, must
be definitely settled upon.
Continuing the Chancellor said
that SO soon as the answers to the
governments which had been con-
suited had been received, renewed
attempts would be made to continue
an international exchange OF views
upon the subject. Therefore, he
advised the House, if it did not wish
to support the affair to adopt Herr
Becker's amendment, which struck
out that part of Count Mirbachs s
motion which demanded that Ger
many take the initiative.
Prince Hohenloe's 8 advice, however,
was ignored and the amendment was
rejected by vote of y to SO and
later Count Won Mirbach's motion
il favor of steps being taken upon
the part of the government for the
prompt settlement Of the currency
question by an agreement as to inter
national bi metallism, was adopted

Hard Work Editing.

In Missouri town, the name of

held that he could edit an ordinary
paper successfully and not devote
more than an hour day to the
work. ut is nothing" he has been
accustomed to say, ''to write a col
umn or two of comments upon the
events Of the day Not long ago
the editor of one of the papers in
that town was called away for a
week and the man who knew it all
was persuaded to take charge of the
editorial column during his absence.
On the first day this man did very
well; he dashed off column and a
half without trouble. On the sec
ond day he perspired freely, although
the room was cold, before he got
the work done, on the third day he
walked the floor and pulled his
whlskers out by the handful, and on
the next he wrote about half col

FLAYED ALIVE AND BURNED.
Three Florida Negroes Tortured ara
Lynched for Fiendsh Crime.

Three Florida Negroes Tortured and
Lynched for Fiendish Crime.
Ellavi1Ie, Fla, May 19,-Three
negroes were lynched Saturday night
in dense swamp on the Suanee
river by white men for assaulting a
whito girl. 1t is reported that they
we're fayed alive and then burned
after being subjected to frightful
tortures.
The crime for which the negroes
were so horribly put to death was
one of the most terrible in the his
tory Of this section of Florida. The
scene of the crime and retribution
was Lafay the adjoining county
to Madison on the south.
Miss Mamie Armstrong, the beau
tiful daughter of prominent Lafay-
cite county farmer, left her home
five days ago to spend the night
with neighbor who lived
two miles distant. The next
day Miss Armstrong; father went
to the house to bring her home and
was alarmed to hear that nothing
had been seen of her. MIR. Arm
strong alarmed the neighbors and a
search was made. The woods were
secured and the Suanee river drag
ced. Finally, about midway be.
tween the home of Mr.. Armstrong
and the neighbours house the hand
kerchief of the girl was found cling
ing to a bush, and all around were
evidences of desperate struggle.
The searches followed the trail
thus indicated, finding that the girl
had been dragged into the woods
After proceeding for mile the
corpse of Miss Armstrong was found
in thick clump of bushes. The
body of the girl was in a horrible
condition. Every shred of clothing
lad been torn from her. The lower
limbs had been torn apart, her head
crushed and her throat cut. 1t was
evident that the girl had made a
desperate fight, for under her nails
were found pieces of black cuticle,
which she had torn from her assail-
ants.
Sam Echols was suspected and
threatened with instant death unless
he confessed. He did so and impli
Gated Sim Crowley and John Brooks.
Echols said they kept the girl fol-
twentyfour hours before killing her,
forcing her in the meanwhile to re
peatedly submit to the most horrible
indignities. For the greater part OF
the time, the negro said, Miss Arm
strong was unconscious.
Having secured the negroes impli
Gated by Echols, the white men pro
ceeded with the three fends to s
dense swamp on the Suanee rivel
where they were made to suffer tor
ture similar to that they had infict
ed on the girl. The white people
are terribly aroused and swear the,
will exterminate the negroes if thes'
outrages are continued.
