OUR OPPORTUNITY.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Record writing from Washington con-
corning the recent report of the offer
of Russian gold to the United States,
takes occasion to point out the i'm
portance of the trans-Siberian railway
to the United States. This correspon-
dent does not doubt the gold offer nor
the friendly relation of Russia, and
concludes that this friendship is d
most desirable one for us to cultivate.
A mighty continent will be opened to
settlement By the completion of the
Siberian railway and it will call for
enormous supplies of tools and ma
chinery, especially agricultural ma
chinery. all of which this country can
supply with great profit to both coun-
tries. The manufacturing industries
of this country have grown enor-
mously since the war, but the agricul-
tural interests have more than kept
pace, and stin we lack people to eat
our food supplies. These supplies
can not longer be sent abroad with any
profit in sufficient quantity to enhance
the price at home. We need more
people al home engaged in manufac-
turing sd that farm products will COM
mand higher prices. We should sup
ply the Siberian railway with its cars,
locomotives and tools, and all the
country opened by the railway with
tools and ma c1inery and feed the men
who make ali these cars, tools and
machines from our farms.

MORE OF HAYWARD
ACCUSED OF KILLING DR.. AND
MRS. HAYWORTH.
UNPUBLISHED CONFESSION
Harry Was in Love With the Doc
tors Ffancee, but She Married the
Man of Her Choice-The Husband
Died and Then the Wife-Hale's
Withdrawal from the Case.

New York. Dec. pa special to the
World from st. Paul says that in the
voluminous and much-doubted confess
sion of the noted criminal, Harry 7.
Hayward, who was hanged two weeks
ago, one portion was eXpurgated.
W. E. Hale is a leader of the bar of
the twin cities. No man stands higher
than he, and when he was a year ago
retained as counsel for the supposed
murderer of Miss Cling the community
was loath to believe Hayward's guilt.
But Hale withdrew The reason for
the withdrawal has never been known.
The suppressed portions of the con-
fession threw some light on the mat
ter.
In his confession, Hayward said that
Miss Helen Hale was the only girl he
had ever loved. When she was about
to become the wife of DR.. Hayworth, a
prominent physician of Chicago, Hay
ward hired a detective to dog the steps
OF the prospective bridegroom to see
ii something could not be found that
would injure his matrimonial pros
poets. Nothing definite could be
found.
Shortly after the marriage. which
was a brilliant affair, DR.. Hayworth
and his bride went to Chicago Later
Mrs. Hayworth returned to Minneapo-
lis for visit. While there, the hus-
band suddenly died. Hayward, who
was in Chicago, notified the bride that
her husband was i'll and needed her.
She went home and found her hus-
band dead. Harry Hayward took
charge Of the necessary arrangements.
He dined with the widow at one Of the
smaller hotels of that city, and accord
ing to his confession, poisoned her.
She mysteriously died here. The con-
fession also states that the death of
her husband was caused by Hayward
though in what manner Hayward does
not tell. The deaths caused a great
--nnder at the time, but there was no
fought of murder.

THE QUEEN FAVORS PEACE.

1t is reported that Queen Victoria
is much displeased that Salisbury does
not submit the Venezuelan boundary
question to arbitration. The venerable
woman is opposed to war She we'll
may be. During her reign England
has had but one war of large dimen-
sions That was the Crimean war, a
war of jingoism pure and simple 1t
cost the queen more anguish of spirit
than all the other state cares and
anXieties of her reign. She found
that her lingo statesmen were unfit
to administer affairs in time of war
just in proportion as they were eager
for war. Her soldiery were left to
freeze and starve on the heights
around Sevastapool. Her medical de-
partment broke down, and she was
obliged to place the hospitals in
charge of philanthropic woman, the
world-honored Florence nightingale
The quartermaster's department was in
confusion and chaos. Lack of system
prevailed in every department and
caused more death and misery, ten to
one, than the casualties of battle
Then the English press let loose it's
thunders in the rear Poor Lord Rag
Ian was driven into his grave by the
merciless criticism of the lingo press
at home. The war brought victory
to British arms and prestige to the
fighting qualities of English soldiers;
but it was blighting disgrace to Eng
lish administration of military affairs.
1t taught the good queen that the
Jingoes, always loudest for war, are
the poorest hackers when the war is
on, the worst croakers when things go
i'll, and always eager for some victim
on whom to vent their rage for every
disaster. Her majesty wants no war,
and so far as her influence weighs, it
will be eXerted to prevent it.

We NEZUELA READY TO fight

New York, Dec. %. The Worlds
Caracas correspondent says: 'Trouble
seems inevitable. The excitement in
the first outburst of enthusiasm has
given place to a determination to
fight. If necessary, Venezuela could
be ready for battle in day.
The government has received i'm
portant cable dispatches from the
Venezuelan minister at Washington
A conference between the president and
the cabinet was held Immediately.
There was unusual activity, but it is
impossible to obtain anything official
in regard to the contents Of the
despatch. 1t is rumored that it con-
tains grave news regarding rela-
lions between Venezuela and England.

PASSED THE BILL.
THE MEASURE GOES THROUGH BY
A MAJORITY OF THIRTY-FOUR.
Forty-seven Republicans Refuse to Act
With Their Party-A Re
cess Taken.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The house
Saturday passed the bond bill by a
vote of 10 to 136 and thus having dis
charged the task for which it has been
sitting during the holidays recess, eff
fected an agreement by which the.
house should adjourn next week three
days in order to give the members all
opportunity to spend New Years day
at their homes The closing hours of
the debate We're lacking in spirit and
there was practically no excitement I'M
til the vote was taken. The margin Of
thirty-fOur by which the first section
of the bill against which the republi-
can opponents of the measure had
maSsed their opposition was passed
and showed that the friends of the
measure had maj shalled every avail
able vote in it's favor. AS it was forty
seven republicans refused to act with
the majority of their party. The
populists and democrats, with the ex
ception OF Hutchinson CTexas) who
voted for the bill, presented an I'M
broken front against it. The bill as
passed amends the resumption act so
as to permit the issue of 3 per cent.
coin bonds, redeemable after five years
at the pleasure Of the government and
payable in fifteen years, with the spe
cific proviso that nothing in the bill
shall be construed to repeal the act of
1873 for the reissue of greenbacks and
that The bonds shall first be offered for
subscription at the Bubtreasuries and
repositories of the United States. The
second section of the bill provides for
the issue of three year per cent. debt
certificates of the denominations of $40
and multiples thereof in an amount
not exceeding S5O,OOO,OOO to meet tenn
porary deficiencies.

MAN LIKES NOISE.

Man gives evidence Of his taste foi
noise at birth. He comes crying into
the world, and when he acquires strength
he drums on the table with his spoon II
those rare intervals when he ceases cry.
ing. BOYS have secret love OF thunder
even when they dread it; and what
other passion can equal that Of = boy fol
pounding on an empty tin!
la him Is exemplihed human foudnes;
for noise. He whistles shrilly, he
screams, he initiates The cries OF bird:
and animals, he produces ear-splitting
sounds, with many varieties OF toy In
struments. His drum is a panacea fol
all the woes that betall him. Every
thing we hear Is noise. Observe how
man takes pleasure In music, which l.
simply harmonious noise. The origin OF
concerts may be traced 10 this desire g
listen 10 noise. Man has been defined a
the animal that laughs, and laughter u;
we know, Is noise, and, In nearly every
Gaze, distinctly unpleasant one.
Most women are fond OF noise. They
prefer the defamation Of an orator
full OF sound and fury, signifying moth
ing" 10 the quiet conversation OF
friend.
The bell has always been much ven
Grated producer Of noise. The poets hav,
sung its praises, and Poe has devoted
one famous poem TO description Of the
dcafeDing music OF bells. Cowper Is the
poet Of noise, and praises even thC
hoarse notes OF the cawing rocks and tht
boding owl.
Certain savages endeavor 10 propitiatt
their gods by the noise Of drums and
trumpets. UncivilIzed men go into bat.
tie with loud shouts, and in Greek and
Roman literature there are many &C
counts OF the strange results OF fierc,
war cries in terrorizing the foe. Cato,
the elder, boasted that he had gainec
more victories BY the Threats OF his army
than By their swords.
