SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S.-As re-
suit of the recent meeting Of the Yosem-
ite valley commissioners man can
make the round trip into the valley for
$50, when few weeks ago it would have
cost him double that sum. The Yo-
semitic Stage and Turnpike company has
announced new schedule Of rates. A.
H. Washburn, the president and man.
ager Of the Yosemite Stage and Turn
pike company, came to San Francisco
just as soon as the commissioners ended
their labors and has announced new
schedule for the combined stage lines
that he manages. In place Of the $40
round trip rate that he formerly adver-
tised over the Stockton, Milton and Big
Oak Flat line. he cut the fare to $25 for
the round trip. The next cut was in the
Wawona line. From now on a special
rate will be made for teachers, minis
ters and any school children in the state
Of $3.50 for the round trip.
"These prices will prevail from now
on" said Mr.. Washburn. II have in
structed the secretary of our company
to make an estimate of the number Of
passengers carried by our stage line,
and the average rate at which they
were carried and If we find that we can
afford to make still further general re-
duction we shall do so'
Substantial reductions for guides, ho-
tells and other items are also promised.

American Agricultural and Meat Products
Are In Demand
WASHINGTON, June 28.-The Amer
lean trade with Norway is reviewed in
a bulletin issued by the agricultural de-
partment. 1t forms the seventh Of the
series relating to the extension of for
eign markets for American agricultural
products. The bulletin says the products
OF Norwegian agriculture are not suffi-
cient to meet the requirements Of the
population. and food stuffs have to be
imported in considerable quantities.
The leading feature is a detailed sta
tistical review of Norway's foreign
trade, attention being given to the char
acter and sources of imported mer-
chandise. The total imports, exclusive
of precious metals, in 1894 were valued
at $55,205,270, and the exports at s32-
762, $50.
The principal agricultural imports are
rye and rye flour, wheat, flour, coffee,
sugar, pork, bacon and hams, hides, tall
low, wool, cotton, wine and linseed and
rapeseed oils. The principal exports are
fish, lumber and manufactures of wood.
Fishery and forest products together
constitute more than two thirds of the
entire export. Norway's trade with the
United States is largely in favor of this
country. Leading exports to Norway
are pork. bacon. hams, hides, tanned
and raw, grease and tallow, wheat and
wheat flour. petroleum and paraffine
oil and machinery. The principal arti-
cles received in return are wood pulp
and fish,

The nurderer Prefers Death to Capture. and

DENVER, Col, June 28.-A special to
the News from Colorado. Springs, Col,
says:
Late this evening while PolicemanGor-
don Bish was patrolling an alley in the
business portion Of the city, he was shot
and instantly killed by an unknown man
who few minutes later took his own
life in preference to being captured. 1t
is believed that the murderer and sui
side was surprised by the officer in an at
tempt at burglary. Another man seen
running from the alley Immediately af-
ter the shooting was captured and is
now in jail suspected of being implicated.
It was about 10 o'clock when five shots
were heard In the alley. Many persons
were on the street and a general rush
was made for the spotfl. The murderer
saw his escape cut off and at first took
refuge in a coal house with the evident
intention Of offering resistance. A few
minutes later, however, recognizing his
desperate situation, he placed the muz-
zle of his pistol to his forehead and sent
a bullet through his brain. Neither the
dead murderer nor his supposed accom-
plice have been identified.

SALT LAKE, June 2S.-A special to
the Tribune from Helena, Mont, says:
Two men and one woman dead and a
man under arrest as accessory to the
murder is the result of woman's un-
faithfulness and a mans perfidy.
The dead are Paul Vinette, a half
breed, his wife and "Took-a-fine-gun,"
ll-blooded Indian. The man under
arrest is Makes -the-fire," a brother Of
the dead Indian.
The scene Of the murder was the
Blackfoot reservation. "Took- fine
gun" had been paying attention to VIM
ettes's wife, in spite of Vinettes protest.
Wednesday he caught the couple in the
bushes and took a shot at the Indian,
who escaped Vnhurt, vowing vengeance.
Next day Vinette mounted his horse to
hunt for missing cattle. He had not
proceeded far when two shots were
heard and Vinette's horse came back
riderless.
"Took- -f1ne-gun" and ''Makes-the-
fire" rode UP. saying they had killed
Vinette. Then, with Mrs. Vinette, the
trio rode away. Mounted police fol-
lowed and the next morning two shots
were heard in a clump of bushes. An
investigation revealed the bodies of
Mrs. Vinette and "Took-a-fine- gum"
He had killed her by shooting her

The London Markets

LONDON, June 2S.-The rates for
money for the week were fairly easy.
Speculative American purchases of sill
yer this week made in view Of the com.
ing Chicago convention failed to give
firmness to the market. The stock ex-
change business was small, being mainly
engaged in settlement. Home railway
securities were still rising. Chartered
South Africa was little affected by
Cecil Rhodes resignation. The mining
stock market was dull with occasional
rallies. American securities were easier
on profit taking and there was very little
business doing. The decreases for the
week were: Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe, Illinois Central and Norfolk and
Western, IN. Canadian Pacific declined
on the result o fthe elections in Canada.

thorize the president to appoint a COM

players may be admitted as state men,
bers Of the league by vote of the execu-

not members Of any league club.

Novel Means Of Influencing Convention
Delegates
CHICAGO. June 2S.-The whirl Of poll
tics accompanying the Democratic ma
tional convention was inaugurated to-
night in a novel manner. The Silver
Lining. a play based upon the money
issue, was put on the boards at the
Grand opera house to run until after the
convention is over.
Opinion is divided as to whether or
not the production Of the play here at
this time has not more or less political
motive. The trend of the play is strongly
pro-silver. and circulars were distrib-
uted quoting endorsements Of the piece
by well known silver statesmen, public
men and governors of a dozen states,
including in the list United States Sen
ator Stewart, w. H. Harvey "Coin'), },
Hon. T. M. Patterson of Denver, Keir
Hardie. Gov. Altgeld and Eugene v.
Debs. The scene Of the play is laid in
the wheat-producing section Of Pike
county, Illinois, and the piece is a strong
presentation Of the different phases Of
the money question from a silver stand
point. The play was well received and
man, Fitzgerald Murphy of Boston, was
called before the curtain. He delivered
a spicy address and was given hearty
round Of applause.
NOT BADLY SCARED
LONDON, June 29.-The Times says
editorially this morning on American
politics and the outlook in the United
States on the currency question:
1--WE are not sure that party platforms
are SO important, because when the
president is elected he becomes a free
agent, in safer and stronger possession
than an English premier. Therefore, it
is not certain that Mckinley will oppose
the popular will Of congress should it
send him bill for free silver. We trust,
therefore, for the credit of the United
States either that Mr.. Whitney's gold
campaign will succeed or that the
triumph of the silverites at Chicago will
be followed by triumph at the polls"
