WHAT ELEPHANTS LIKE

If there is anything in the world an
elephant loves better than peanut it
is an orange, and if any boy who reads
their wishes, when he goes to the circus,
to give the massive creature an especial
treat, instead of paying five cents for a
bag of peanuts to put in the elephant
trunk, let him purchase for the same
money one good-sized orange and present
that to the small-eyed, fat-eared mon
ster.

years ago by Arago and INLAND. and
that it was accepted by Carlyle, who
would never accept anything else. Mr..

caused wholly by his disbelief in the

al resources of the silver using countries
have been without parallel.
The rise in the value of gold acts as a
protective tariff against all gold
using countries, but places no re-
strictions on trade with silver
using countries. The higher the
but places no restrictions on trade with
silver using countries. The higher the
premium on gold. the higher the protec-
ton, and consequently we see mills and
factories erected in the silver using coun-
tries, and we see them supplying them
selves with the manufactured articles
Nthey have long imported. This self-made
protective barrier grows out of the fact
that the manufacturer in the silver using
country can get the same price for his
products as heretofore, and his outlay for
raw materials, for wages for interest, has
remained the same. The cost of produc-
ton for him has not increased, but in
fact, fallen. as through experience he
has been able to economic. The Eng
lish manufacturer, working under the
gold basis, must, on the other hand, sell
his product at much reduced rate, equal
to the fall in silver, to meet the price Of
the manufacturer I'm the silver using
country. He is able to buy his raw ma
terials cheaper measured in gold; but
his rent, his interest on borrowed money,
his taxes, his wages bill, have all re-
NAMED the same. He must pay these in
gold or It's equivalent, and this same gold
is worth double what it used to be. The
disadvantage under which he works is
apparent when we know that this same
gold would enable the manufacturer in a
silver using country to buy twice the Ia
ihor. pay twice the taxes, double the in
latest and double the rent that the manu-
lecturer can pay with it in the gold using
countries, notably Great Britain. But

New York special: Il. q. Dun q Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade will say: FOR a
whole week the confident expectation OF
the sale of bonds has kept back exports OF
gold. Withdraw ais from the treasury
amounted to about $2,0OO,0oo. hut wert
mainly for domestic purposes. No poho
bill has passed or is likely to pass Con-
gress, and in the two months ending Feb
ruary l the treasury actually lost S6',ooo,'
600 in gold, of which $40 0 1900 went into
circulation and $26.000,0O0, besides the
product of the mines, went abroad. lo
arrest this outgo in either direction IS q
problem which another issue of bonds may
probably solve. 1t is hoped that the ne
gOtiOations with foreign bankers may Sc
cure some improvement. though 1t is clear
that sales of securities here will have the
same effect as if the bonds were placed IN
this country and they may not be stopped
by the new transaction.
The condition of industries, if not def
nitely better, at least presents some points
of encouragement Some improvement in
the prices of farm products has resulted
on the somewhat active speculation dur
ing the week, wheat being only y cent
higher than a week ago, with the western
receipts only 792,93l bushels, against
2,240,256 last year, while exports have been
a little smaller. The western receipts for
the month have been 5,ll2,212 bushels,
against 2,499, 40 last year. Receipts OF
corn have been small, but prices have
slightly advanced. Prices of cotton are
unchanged, although receipts continue I'M
usually large for the season.
Failures for the past week have been PSI
in the United States, against 1856 last year,
and IS in Canada, against TO last year.

Rev. j. $. Reid Holds Up al Orc
gOn Cashier i'm Daylight.

Portland, Ore. special: Shortly after
noon a man entered the First National
Bank at East Portland and presenting a
revolver, called on Cashier +. 7. HOlgate,
who was alone in the bank, to throw up
his hands. The cashier complied and the
Intruder bound and gagged him. after
which he started to empty the coin trays
into a sack which he carried. At this
juncture the cashier of the Citizens Bank
across the street, who saw the affair.
rushed in with a shotgun and arrested
the robber. The thief was identified as Rev.
j. S. Reid, a Baptist minister. Reid came
into notoriety IA few months ago by disap-
pearing after leaving his clothes ON the
river bank to give the impression that he
had been drowned. He aftcrward turned
up in Illinois. where he claimed to be suf-
fering from mental troubles. When Reid
entered the bank he wore a false beard. but
i'm the scuff1c il was torn off. revealing his
identity.
After his arrest Reid said he had nothing
to conceal and claims that desperation
drove him to the commission of the crime.

if the condemnation was not after an open,
fair trial, with opportunity for defense, TO
demand delay in their execution.
Minister Thurston said that he had not
seen the dispatch sent by Minister Willis

that it stated that several death sentences
had been made by the court trying the

information on the subject and that his

Washington special: Neither at the State
Department nor at the Navy Department
has there come any word from China in
confirmation of the reported capture by a
Chinese mob of some of the officers of the
United States ship Concord, who accident
ally killed a native while on a shooting
expedition. This lack of an official report
has strengthened the belief of officials
that the story was either without founda-
ton or else exaggerated. Had the
matter been at all serious the commanding
officer of the Concord would have been
obliged by the naval regulations to report
the event imediately to his superior officer,
Admiral Parpenter. who in turn would
have reported it TO the Navy Department,
or if the Admiral was not within easy COM
MIN cation it would have been the duty Of
the c~altlin TO have reported directly to the
Navy Department.

What Mexico May DO If Trouble

City of Mexico special: If Mexico is
pushed into the fight over the International
boundary, her policy will be as outlined
from the first by President Diaz and his
Cabinet, TO the effect that this dispute and
other little matters VIII lie settled once and
forever, and that the necessary means will
be used to that end. II is pro-
pheSied in some quarters that Mexico
will settle the boundary line by quietly
a%ppropriating the whole Guatcmalan re-
public as part Of the Omitted States of
Mexico" with the City of Mexico as its
capital and with the chief executive of this
republic as its ruler. The Mexican author
tiles decline TO discuss the matter, how
ever, and it is exceedingly improbable that
such a proposition has been seriously con-
sidercd except as a last resort. and after all
other plans for reconciliation had failed.
Troops have been concentrated at all
Pacific and gulf ports, and the Government
has chartered two merchantmen. now in
Acapulco. In case of war the invasion
will be made from several points, princi-
pally from the Pacific side.

FEAR THEY HAVE PERISH ED.
Nine Men Adrift On Lake Michi-
gan With Mercury i'm the Bulb.

Milwaukee, Wis, special: Somewhere
be adrift in two yawl boats that left the
north point pumping station. The first
yawl boat is manned by four men who
came in from the crib of supplies and
started back with provisions. 1t is sup
posed that this boat failed to reach the
crib and that it drifted out mid
lake with its occupants. A see
ond yawl boat, manned by five volun-
tecrs, went out to the crib in answer to
distress signals. This boat also has not
been heard from since. and it is supposed
that it also failed TO reach the lake end OF
the. intake tunnel. The tireboat Foley.
having in tow a crew of volunteers in the
surf boat, has left the harbor, was seen to
communicate with the mel ON the crib and
then steamed out in the lake in IA south
easterly direction.
The suppoSition is that the tircboat is out
in search of the two Nawl boats and their
occupants, bat she has not returned to this
port. If the men in the yawlS failed to
land at the crib they were probably frozen
to death, because the thermometer was 20
below zero on the lake and some of them
were very Scantily dressed.
Later: Only three men were lost, as
reported by Fire Chief Foley upon the re-
turn to port Of the fireboat. They are
