THE JREAsURF GOLD REsERyE
Reduced to s4a,551. .3ee Gossip About a
'ond Issue.


WASHINGTON, Jan. SO.-The Treasury
gold reserve was reduced to-day by with
drawals al several sub-Treasuries TO
$f.55l ,322 The Withdrawals were as fol-
lows: At New York, S3,1T50oO; at Balti-
more. Sl3l 40; at Boston, $500; total for
the day. $3,g5l, 40.
Rumors as 10 what tie President and
Secretary Carlisle intended to do were
plentiful, but no official announcement
was given out. No preparations are being
made for a bond issue. and none will be
made until the President is convinced
that Congress will not respond TO his ap-
peal for financial aid. Unless Congress
responds promptly TO the President S
suggestion. he will, in the exercise OF
his discretion under the resumption act,
direct the issue OF 100000 bonds. I'm
der this act there are three kinds OF
bonds he may issue viz: Five per cent.
bonds. which run ten years; four and a
half per cent. bonds, which run fifteen
years. and four per cent. bonds, which
run thirty years As the President, in his
recent message. favored fifty year bonds,
the general belief in official circles is that
If bonds are issued under the resumption
act they will be four per cent. bonds, 10
run thirty years.
Everything is contingent on the condl-
ton Of the gold reserve. Should the gold
Withdrawals diminish or cease altogether
the President may not consider another
bond issue necessary at this time, as the
general condition of the Treasury, with
$li3. .OO0O 900 available for expenses ana con-
stant improvement daily showing in re-
celpts, is better now than it has been Tor
the past two years.
NEW YORK. Jan. 3o.-The Withdrawals
of gold from the sub-trcasury up to %
L. NJ, were 10000 making a total thus
far this week of $l0,3Jo000.

Indicate as surely a any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, i'm
pure or insufficient, they are in a state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla-
ration of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful n~ourishment they rave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.

Q SUSPICIOUS.

John NJ. Annis, Whose Sick Wife was
Burned to Death, Thought to Have Start.

legged Trip for a Doctor-Remarkable
Story Told by His 9-Year-Old Daughter
Who Escaped.
FENToN. Mich, March 3O.-Frank NJ.
Annis, who is accused of causing the
fire which resulted in the death of his
wife on his farm near here d few days
ago, has been arrested. The arrest
has caused talk, and gossip says that
there are grounds for the belief that
his little daughters should also have
persisted in their burned home. Laura
is 9 years of age and Mabel 4.
Laura says she was awakened by a
noise, and listened. A moment later
she heard a gurgling hat sounded
like liquor escaping from the neck of a
bottle. This was followed almost i'm
mediately by the sound of a parlor
match being scratched and igniting.
She then heard hurried footsteps, fol-
lowed by the closing of door.
A moment later she saw a little blaze
at the foot of her bed, another in the
sitting room and a third in the center
of her mothers bed. She says she
screamed and called to her mother but
getting no answer went to the bed OF
the sick woman and tried to awaken
her. Getting NJ response and being
warned by the approach of the flames
to hasten, Laura says she returned to
her own bed and picking up her little

ment later the neighbors began to ar
rive, but the house was in flames and
all efforts to save Mrs. Annis, were
fruitless.
In a few minutes Annis drove up on
d run, his horse nearly exhausted and
was told the story of the loss of his
wife and his children's escape. He
said his wife was suffering greatly
when she aroused him and asked him
to 90 to Fenton for a doctor. He de-
clared that he left at exactly = o'clock,
but as he did not reach here until two
hours later and the distance does not
exceed four miles, the neighbors
thought an explanation was in order.
Annis had a fast horse and could
cover the distance to Fenton in half
an hour. At $3.50 farmers along the
road heard a man who was evidently
driving furiously shouting fire. 1t is
now charged that this man was Annis.
At the point in the roa- where the
alarm was given, the Annis house
could not be seen, and it is alleged
that the flames did not break out of
Annis house until some time later.
The couple had not lived happily to-
gether. Mrs. Annis had a 81, 900 in

Hostilities to be Suspended During q Tenn.

Hung Chang by the Japsnese Fanatic
Japan's Importance in Eastern Affairs
Sufficiently Demonstrated.
WASHINGTON. March 3O.-Thefollow-
ing telegram was yesterday afternoon
received by the Japanese legation from
the Japanese foreign Office:
"On the opening of the negotiations
the Chinese plenipotentiary proposed
an armistice, which the japanese gov
eminent was willing to accept on GER
tain conditions. While this negotia-
ton was going on the untoward event
happened on the person of the Chinese
plenipotentiary. His majesty having,
in view of this unhappy occurrence.
commanded the Japanese plenipoten-
tiaries to consent to a temporary
armistice without conditions, this
was communicated to the Chinese
plenipotentiary."
Minister Kurino says that the effect
of the emperor's order will be the i'm
mediate cessation of aggressive hostili'
ties, and that the japanese armies will
make no further advance as long as
the armistice lasts. Some fighting
may occur if provoked by the Chinese,
but the second step toward peace has
been practically taken, the arrival of
Ii Hung Chang, the satisfactory char
acter of his plenipotentiary credentials
having been the first.
The minister is of the opinion that
the action of the emperor was infu'
enced by the confidence his majesty re-
posed in the successful conclusion of
the peace negotiations through the Ill
innate acceptance by Ii Hung Chang
of the terms stipulated by Japan.
1T was Immediately after the close
of the second session of the peace plen-
ipotentiaries," said the minister, that
Ii Hung Chang was Frustrated by a
fanatic, and up to that time nothing
had been considered but China's re
quest for an armistice pending the con-
sideration of the terms of peace. The
proposition had been met by the pre-
sentation of certain conditions from
the Japanese plenipotentiaries. The
discussion of the terms of final peace
had not been entered upon.
The emperor's command of tempo
rary armistice is also a refutation of
idea~that Japan is disposed to humili-
ate China Or merely to acquire terri
tory. Japan has gained the end OF
demonstrating japanese Importance in
eastern affairs"
Minister Kurino promptly notified
Secretary Gresham of the armistice,
and it was made known to President
Cleveland, who expressed his gratifica'
ton.

The Attempt to Break Up the Public School
System by the Home Government at OF
tawa Strongly Resisted by the Orange
and Protestant Population of the Prov
ince-The Resolution to Adjourn the Lo-
cal Legislature.
WINNIPEG, Man, March 29.-The
surprising and sensational feature of
the school question difficulty, was the
announcement, yesterday, that the
government had decided to ad iourn
the legislature to-day until May 9. 1t
had been considered certain hat con-
sideration of the remedial order would
be proceeded with yesterday or to-da.t.
but Premier Greenway announced in
the house yesterday afternoon that adj
journment had been decided upon. He
declared that the government did not
see any reason whatever to change
its position or its opinion in regard to
the school system of the province, de-
spite the order to do so from Ottawa.
The remedial order issued by the gov
eminent raised for the first time con
stitutional questions exceeding in
gravity and importance any constitu-
tional question that has heretofore
arisen in any legislature in Canada,
and affecting the whole Canadian do
minion.
In view of these facts it had been de-
cided to adjourn the house. The gov
eminent had already opened communi-
cations with certain eminent constitu-
tional lawyers and submitted to them
for their advice some of the chief
points affecting the jurisdiction of the
legislature.
The premier was asked whether the
Dominion government would be likely
to take this proposed adjournment of
the local house as a refusal on the
part of the province to act in the mat
ter of the order, and replied that no
such construction could be put upon
the adjournment, inasmuch as the pro-
vincial government was taking the or
der into consideration.
Catholic members of the legislature
say the government is merely trying
to shirk their responsibility, and that
adjournment is merely a subterfuge.
The orangemen of Manitoba, in
massmeeting assembled yesterday,
passed the following resolutions IMAM
iInOusly:
ReSolred, That we view with the greatest
alarm the state of affairs which exists between
the dominion and the local governments, and
we desire to express our approval Of the stand
taken by our representative in the provincial
legislature in Manitoba, in support of
our rights and privileges, in brook
ing no interference by the central
government in our educational affairs:
and we call upon all orangemen and Protest
ants to support no candidates for the house Of
commons or the local legislature who will not
openly and unqualihedly pledge himself to de-
terminedly oppose any and all attempts to-
ward the breaking up of our public school sys-
tenn, and the imposing upon US and our chill
dren OF the accursed system of separate and
Sectarian schools.
1t is proposed to hold a monster con-
vention of all religious and poll teal
bodies in Winnipeg shortly to discuss
the question.
