Parliament Ia Omen.

With the usual pomp and ceremony,
the fourth session of the thirteenth Vic
torian Parliament was opened in Lon
don Tuesday afternoon. The customary
Guy Fawkes search was made By Lord
Chamberlain Darlington and 4 dozen of
the yeomen of the guard, and then the
house assembled and listened to the read
Eng of the queens speech. The pronounce
ment from the throne was a distinct dis
appointment. 1t has been given out free
ly from ministerial sources that if the
Rosebery administration was to fall it
would fall fighting; that the speech, there
fore, would contain reference TO all the
reforms which the liberal party approves,
regardless of their probable passage at
the present session. True, several inn
portant questions are brought to the
front-the Welsh church establishment,
plural voting, popular control of the liQ
uOr traffic, county government for Scot
land, and irish land measures. But in
regard to The burning question of the
times-the reformation or abolition of
the lords-Premier RoSebery says not a
word.

the Everett smeter demonstrates that his
report was correct and that the mines are
not feasible as Il smelling proposition.
AS n result he places the loss sustained
by John ID. Rockefeller at 81, 100000.
Three million dollars was invested in
opening n railroad to the mines. which
are back of the city Of Everett in the Cas-
cade Mountains. Another Si,000,000
was expended iii the smcltcr and concen-
trating plant. all of which was done upon
the favorable report of an expert metal
lurgist sent out from the East. Everette
reported adversely. Everette had con-
ference with Rockefeller in New York n
few weeks ago and reports him angry at
those who led him into investing money.

Two Capturcd-Th;rty Miners Killed
by an Explosion of Fire Dar,ip-Ac-
Cdent to Il Milwaukee Street Car.
Explosion shakcs the Town.

About + O'Clock Monday morning
terrific explosion awakened the people OF
Milan. Ohio. \ hurried examination
showed that the Lockwood bank build
ins had been broken into. the safe blown
and its contents. about SGT. 600. taken 10y
five masked men, who. in blowing open
the safe, had demolished the building and
started an alarm all over the village.
Among the many who started TO investi-
gate the explosion was l.. l.. StOddard,
cashier cf the bank. and he was just in
time TO see tie five men leave the bank
building. jump into a carriage and drive
away. He fired several shots ut them,
but without effect. and the men soon dis
appeared in the direction of Sandusky. 4
posse OF men was hurriedly organized and
soon followed in pursuit. At the same
time notices We're sent 10y wire in all di
rections and the news spread around
them 50 securely that escape was well
night impossible At Sandusky two men
were caught. The exact amount of money
secured cannot yet be ascertained. but it
is believed 10 be about $4,000. The bank
is wealthy concern. which fact was
doubtless known by the men. The only
error in their wcll-laid plans was the
heavy explosion which started the alarm.
1t is quite probable that they had not
prepared it with sufficient caution and by
that error their plans; were upset and
themselves placed in danger of capture.

WASHINGTON.

The annual meeting of the National
Board of Trade was held ut the Shore
ham. in Washington, fifty delegates bei;.g
present. Frederick Fraley, of Philadel-
phia, was chosen president for the TWEEN
ty-seventh consecutive term, and laml-
ton a. Hill. of Cincinnati. secretary for
the twenty-ffth time.
President Cleveland's announcement
that he would protect the credit of the ma
ton by making the next issue of bonds
$100,0O0,QO0 and payable N gold. if nee
essary. and furthermore place them in the
European market direct. has stopped the
greedy bankers Of Wall street In .he,r
game Of withdrawing gold from the treas
ury by means Of treasury notes and stOi.
ing it in their vaults. Instead, on Friday
these same bankers paid into the treasury
100000 in coin in exchange for paper;
orders for $5.0OOO0O in gold for export
were cancelled; and this promises t. be
the order of things for some time to cone.
Foreign exchange dropped greatly, and
the men who have been withdra wing gold
in the hope that the credit Of the nation
would be shaken and send the yellow met
al to Il premium, may now get what com
fort they may from the fact that they have
had their pains for their trouble. When
Europe becomes convinced that the Uni
ted States is determined to meet her OBJ
legations she has promised. then the
demand for gold for export ceases.
The bonding of government officials is
a subject which has been under discus
sion by the House Committee on Appro-
prlations for several days and the com
mittec has concluded that il is a field in
which there is great room for reform.
The irregularities and lack OF system gov
erning the securities taken by the govern
ment for the performance of official du-
ties were first inquired into by the ex-
perts o; the DOckery commission and
brought to the attention of the committee.
Recently the heads of several depart
ments and bureaus have been before the
subcommittee of appropriations which is
framing the legislative bill and it has
been shown that the security system is
probably more lax than that of any other
government. Many officers are bonded
for term Of four years, and III, rs often
happens, there is delay in the appoint
ment of the successors and they continue
to officiate, the government is left with
out any guaranty or means Of making
good losses. if any are incurred through
their acts. This lapse is frequent in the
cases of frst-cass postmasters, but the
assistant treasurers of the United States
present the most conspicuous examples,

Drowned N a Street Car.

4 trolley CIR Of the Russell avenue and
IOiton street line, Milwaukee. plunged
through the open draw of the hinnickin-
nick avenue bridge at go Monday morn
ing. carrying three people down TO death
IN the icy waters Of the river. Six 9TH
crs were rescued from the partly sub
merged car The dead We're: Mrs. An
toinctte G.. Gilman. kindergarten teach
or; John Kennedy. motorman; Miss
Schmidtkuntz. employed at National
Knitting Works. Il was the worst street
car accident that ever happened in Mil
waukee, and the news of the shocking
disaster sent thrill of horror through
out the city. From all accounts the ac-
cident seems to have clearly been due to
the carelesSness Of the motoruan, J ohm
Kennedy. but he stuck to his post in
vain endeayor to stop the car. which he
had permitted 10 approach too near the
open draw, and paid the penalty Of his
carelessnesS with his life. The car struck
endwise In the river and was submerged
for about two-thirds of it's length, the
fact that it did not go to the bottom Of
the river, which is eighteen feet deep at
that point, being due to the presence of
thick ice. This circumstance alone il
is believed, made ii possible to rescue any
of the passengers.
