ST. PETERSBURG had 1, 1876 arrests for
drunkenness in one week recently and
1000 arrests the week before. The per-
sons arrested are locked up until they
are sober again and are then sent home
without further punishment unless
they have disturbed the peace. Drunk
enness is rapidly increasing, and the
government thinks of trying the sys-
tenn of fines and short imprisonments
that has proved no deterrent of drink
in other countries.

AN agricultural journal reports that
much damage has been committed by
crows in turnip fields in the north of
England. Many of these birds were
shot. and, although examination of the
contents of their stomachs show that
they feed very largely upon noxious in.
sects and other pests, the balance OF
usefulness is decidedly against them.
In searching for wireworms they pull
up the young turnips, probably finding
worm at the root of one out of 15O or
200 pulled up. This is somewhat ex-
Pensive for the farmer, who would
rather the crow fed ON turnips than
Wireworms.

The value of walking is not properly
appreciated in this rushing age, when
everybody requires to go as fast as
wheels can possibly carry them. The
consequence is that those who invaria-
bly, go by train or other vehicle fall
into bad health, and they fail to realize
that nothing tends more to produce
good health than regular walking ex-
ercise. This applies to men and ,vom-
en- alike. Walking is perfect exercise,
using every member, muscle and nerve
an some way. BY it, too, the lungs are
strengthened, the blood purified, the
chest widened, and the figure improved.

MAKE THEIR DEMANDS.
Republican Silver Senators Sign = Dec

Republican Silver Senators Sign = Dec
laration of Principle.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The Repub-
lican silver senators have signed dec
laration which is intended to be used in
the coming campaign as the demand
which the silver men will make for a
plank in the national convention. In
the preamble it is recited that the pres
ent financial system endangers the in
dustrial prosperity of the United States,
which is threatened by China and
Japan as result of the decrease in
the value in silver and the difference in
exchange between silver and gold using
countries. 1t is, therefore, resolved
that the signers favor the
Free and Unlimited Coinage Of Silver
at a ratio of 16 to for" the purpose of
obliterating this difference Of exchange,
which is declared to operate as a
bounty on the export of products from
silver using countries to gold using
countries. 1t is also resolved that they
favor tariff which shall equalize the
difference in the cost of labor between
this country and the countries of
Europe and Asia 1t is the purpose of
those who are circulating the dec.
laration to get all the Republican
silver men in congress to sign it.

The Insurgent Leader Far Gone With
Consumption.
HAVANA, Jan. 25-For some time
past reports have, been in circulation
here concerning the physical condition
of General Maximo Gomez, commander
in chief Of the insurgent forces. One
story has asserted that he was suffering
from wounds and that he was seriously
i'll with fever. 1t seems from informa-
tion derived from trustworthy sources
that neither of these reports are cor
rect, but it is positively asserted that
the insurgent chief is very sick man
1t is stated upon the authority
just cited that the doctors in at
tendance upon General Gomez recently
held consultation and diagnosed his
case as being All advanced stage of con.
sumption complicated with fever. 1t
is further stated that the physicians
have come to the conclusion that
Gomez can only live about two months
longer. These statements have caused
considerable anxiety among the $insur-
genrs and their friends, rs even though
his condition may be exaggerated to
some degre, it is believed the main
facts are correctly stated.

WASHINGTON, Jan 25.-The silver
conference resulted in an animated dis
cussion of the financial situation and
the policy to be pursued by friends Of
silver.
The committee on resolutions, of
which Senator Jones of Nevada is
chairman, submitted its report. The
resolutions end with this declara-
ton: THAT over and above all other
questions Of policy we are in favor of
restoring to the people of the United
States the time honored money of the
constitution. gold and silver, not one,
but both. We therefore confidently ap-
peal to the people of the United States
that. leaving in allegiance for the mo.
ment all other questions, however i'm
portant, even momentuous, they may
appear, and, sundering, if need be,
former party affiliations, they unite in
supreme effort to free themselves and
their children from the domination of
the money power, a power more de-
structive than any which has ever be-
fore been fastened upon civilized men
in any race in any age"
The report was wildly and loudly ap-
plauded as it was read, and the confer
ence seemed to be filed to the fullest
extent with enthusiasm. 1t was read
by Senator Jones, chairman. AT the
conclusion there was big demonstra-
ton. The delegates arose to their feet
and cheered loudly and called for Sem
ator Jones. He spoke for about 10 min
utes and his remarks were vociferously
applauded.
The Call For n Convention.
The following is the report of the
committee on organizations:
That convention of the qualified
voters of the United States who believe

Story of Mutiny and Murder
That Would Do Credit
to Stevenson.
Captain and Mate of the Amer
lean Trader Maria
Killed.
The Crew Aroused the Suspicion
Of a Native King and He
Captured Them.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2o.-A trading
vessel firm of this city has received ad
vices from the English consul on an
island Of the Polow group in the South
seas, regarding one Of the most astro.
cious tradegies reported for months.
On Nov. 10 the crew of the American
trading vessel Maria mutined, it is said,
and murded Captain Brown, Mate Hol-
mann and passenger. The captains 8
wife and their son were nearly killed by
blows from an AK. The tragedy was
reported from Singapore but it was
stated that the mutiny took place on
the Spanish ship Maria Secunda.

The story OF the Mutiny.
The mutiny occurred off Andrew ISL
ands. Captain Brown retired at 10
o'clock. leaving the boatswain, man
named Hover, to stand watch. Mate
Holman had already turned in. The
toatswain stole quietly forward and
gave word to the. crew that the time
had come to act. He secured u sharp
hatchet from thee cooks galley and
stealing below to the shippers cabin he
struck Captain Brown with the weap-
on, nearly severing the sleeping mans
head from his body. Brown turned on
his side and gave q dying groan, which
awakened his wife. Mrs. Brown raised
on her elbows and shrieked for help.
Mate Holman heard her cries, and
sprang from his berth to rescue the
woman. Hover had stationed Polow
boy behind the door of the mates cabin.
The lad was armed with an AK, and
when Holman made his appearance on
his way to the captains cabin, dealt
him a terrific blow Oh the head, killing
him instantly.
The ] Iassenger Jumped Overheard.
The passenger came on deck and was
struck at by one of the sailors. He ran
to the rail bleeding from cut on his
shoulder and jumped into the sea. The
mutineers then took the corpses of Cap
tain Brown and his mate, made them
fast to the anchor and pitched the
weight into the sea. The schooner was
headed tor Andrew island, and Mrs.
Brown and her boy were kept close
prisoners. 1t was the intention of the
mutineers to put them ashore on an
isolated coral reef near Andrew. Be-
fore the island was reached the Chinese
cooks, native sailors and boatswain
Got to Fighting Among Themselves.
All mutineers were more or less
wounded. Their provisions gave out,
and when cruising around Andrew ISL
and the schooner was manned solely by
the boatswain and two Chinese. The
vessel was steered into port and the
king of the island gave the murderers
food enough to last them several weeks.
Before the vessel sailed again, however,
the king became suspicious, boarded
the craft and rescued Mrs. Brown and
her boy, the former more dead than
alive, and took the mutineers prisoners.
The Spanish gunboat Vilasco put in at
Andrew and took the murderers to
Manila for trial. Mrs. Brown and the
boy were taken to Nyap by O'Keefe' s
schooner. They are now at Million
aire trading station awaiting news from
the Nilasco.
