mand is among jobbers in dry goods.
clothing, millinery, shoes, leather and
hardware. Wool is higher on more active
demand, but manufacturers are not snp-

IN, prices are for leather, shoes, white pine
lumber, petroleum, lard, sugar, and for
wool, corn and oats. The conspicuous de-
crease in prices are those for coffee, pork
and turpentine.
Mercantile collections throughout the
central western and southern states are
easier, but complaints are still heard from
the west.

Whole Family Daft.

BoWMANyIILE, Ont: A most extraor-
dinary case of religious mania is reported
from farm house near the Long Saulte.
There resides Elijah Rice, his wife and
fifteen children. The eldest son, Louis,
q years old, recently became insane and
announced himself as the prince of the
Sand l1ills," and declared that Christ had
appointed him to reform the world The
mania extended to the father, mother and
the other children, who neglected the
farm and spent their time i'm singing and
praying. Recently the father conceived
the idea that Louis was pursued by the
devil and that it must be beaten out OF
him. Louis was knocked down with
leg'of a chair and Mr. and Mrs. Rice and
two sons pounded him into insensbiity.
Their next move was to celebrate the
'feaSt OF the passover" and one of the lit
tie children was to be sacrificed as the
pascal lamb" One of the sons, mere
boy, told this to "a clergyman, who in

from Sucre, Bolivia, of a favorable report
made by the Committee on Foreign Af-

the news the Spanish envoy to Peru,
Senor de Fanello, who is also accredited
to Bolivia, immediately set out for Sucre
TO look alter Spanish interests at that cap
ital and presumably TO lodge protest ON
oelalf OF his Government against the pro-

from Sucre show that Congress had held
an exciting and Stormy session to consider
the resolution. The president of the

CHICAGO: When Alonzo C. Wood, a
wealthy resident of Chicago, made his will
shortly before his death four years ago,
he disinherited his son, Fred l.. Wood,
who is in the California penitentary un-

result is an estate of S1,000,0o0 must be
divided according to law, and the life con-
vict will get $4,000.
Mr.. Wood, in his WILL accused his son
of attempting to murder him and his
brothers and sisters. He recounted the
advantages given the son, and how the
latter threatened 10 kill the rest of the
family. After mentioning the fact of the

SECRETARY OLNEY.

conceded This diplomatic victory wiIB
set new milepost in the history of the
United States. 1t is one of the greatest
trlumphs of century of American diplo-
macy.
A year ago last month it was an
nounced that President Cleveland and
Secretary Olney had decided to interfere
IN Fenezuela's behalf and demand arbi-
tration under the Monroe doctrine. A
year ago President Cleveland was prepar-
ing the famous message to Congress-
which gave official confirmation of this
news and which brought on the menace
OF war between the two nations. Panic
seized Wall street and stocks fell RAPIDLY.
Lord Salisbury's reply to Secretary Oh
ney's mastery note was somewhat curt
and supercilious refusal to admit that the
United States had any standing in the
premises. He distinctly declined to give
any countenance whatever to the Monroe
doctrine, and appeared rather amused
that such an absurd pretension should be
set up by the United States This was in
line with the British policy concerning
the Venezuelan matter. For forty years
the South American republic had sought
to secure arbitration or some other SETTLE
ment, but had been treated with lofty
dlsdain. The United States Government
had repeatedly requested the British Gov
ernment TO consent to arbitration. but had
always met the same curt refusal.
Salisbury Yie.ds Every Point.
Now Lord Salisbury yields everything
for which the American Government has
contended. The pertinency of the Mon
roe doctrine is recognized and the result
Of this, will be an immense enhancement
