All advices from the West are to the
effect that the silver tide is ebbing.
The energetic campaign that Mark
Hanna and his lieutenants are putting
up and the sober second-thought OF the
people themselves are bearing fruit.
The Maine and Vermont elections
carry much encouragement to our
friends in the doubtful states While
it is yet too early to rejoice, we conf
IDENTITY predict compktc triumph for
the Republican ticket.

The New York Democracy accepted
the Chicago platform and ticket at its
state convention and then nominated
John Boyd Thatcher, gold man, for
governor. BY this wide straddle the
machine hopes to maintain its regu-
larity and organization. Senator Hill
directed this policy, which hardly re-
bounds to his credit.

The Burlington News is again agi
tating reform in the constitution OF
our legislature, whereby the represcn-
tation shall be on basis Of population
instead of the present .'rotten borough
method. As we have before observed,
the News is right, exactly right, but ii
might just as well try to alter the law
OF gravitation. The small towns will
never give up their privilege and there
Is no way that they can be compelled
to.

With a better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
scal ills which vanish before proper ef-
yorts- gentle efforts pleasant efforts
Agility directed. There is comfort in
he knowledge that so many forms OF
4ckness are not due to any actual dis.
base, but simply to constipated condi.
ion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informedev everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction

Phoenix; in fact, the train will be the rendezvous always and hotel of the ex- cursionists Two days will ibe spent in Phoenix, half day in Prescott and the remainder of the time divided up as the eXcursionists see fit. Invitations have and are still pouring in from all Arizona towns, asking that the excur- sionists visit them and accept the free dom of the cities and towns.
 'FThe benefit to southern California in general and Los Angeles in partic- ular from this excursion is incalcu- liable. It will be the means of ac- quainting the leading merchants of this city with their customers and also giving the people of this section an idea of the scope and variety of the in dustries and resources of Arizona.

NEW BOND ISSUE.
Many Bids Received at the Treasury
 Building.

WASHINGTON Feb. B. Great in- terest was manifested today at the treasury department in the opening of bids for the present loan, and it far exceeded that attending either of the others As early as 5:30 o'clock this morning many prominent capitalists from New York and other eastern cit ies began to put in an appearance at the treasury.
 The opening and scheduling of the bids was conducted under the direc- tion of Assistant Secretary Curtis by committee consisting of United States Treasurer Morgan, Comptroller of the Currency Eckels and MT Huntington, chief of the division of loans and cur rency. At 12:15 p. m. MT. Eckels of the committee, announced that up to to this time there had been received 9,7O7 bids aggregating S380,232, 800 ranging in price from par to S119 and fraction Joseph Pulitzer bid for $1 100000 at 114 Tn note accompa- nying the bid Pulitzer says: This bid at the highest market price today is in lieu of the offer of the New York World to head the subscription of $1,000,000 to the popular loan on the basis which was not adopted of the open subscription at a fixed and equal rate"
 J. Pierpont Morgan, Harvey Fisk & Son and the Deutscher bank of Berlin as syndicate, bid for S100,000 at $11O.67S. MT. Eckels announced a bid for s100,000 from doctor in Mich igan and s16,0OO,000 from some one. in Texas were regarded as bogus, and the ! total of $684 4,269,850 should be reduced by the amount of these. The earlier l bidders, with the exception of Robert B. Glendenning of Philadelphia, s500,- 900 at s112.75; Albert T. Judson, $500,- 900 at S113.75, the bids are for amounts below half a miliion ranging from $5 to about $30O,OOO.
 ] The total corrected number of bids \ received for the new loan is 4,640, az gregating $558, ,269, $50. Secretary Car lisle is greatly pleased at the brilliant ly conspicuous success of the loan, and said it showed what the people of this country would do when appealed to. He thought the effect abroad would be very marked in our favor.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Owing to the confusion caused by the magnitude of the offerings and the consequent de- lay in classifying and scheduling the bids for bonds, any authoritative state ment of policy that will be pursued cannot be made at this time. AS the bulk of offerings were below the Mor- gan figures. It is believed that the syndicate headed by a great New York banker will be accepted for at least 50,OOO,0O0 and possibly more. In any event, no bid below the syndicate rate of 110-6877 will be accepted, as that rate covers the entire loan. It is un- derstood th3t Mr. Morgan will procure part of the gold from abroad and will not need to deplete the treasury to furnish part of the gold called for un- der his bad.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
American Republics to Hold Meet

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The move ment initiated by the government of Ecuador of holding congress of rep resentatives of all the republics of America to define and endorse the Monroe doctrine and to establish closer commercial and political rela- tions between them is rapidly taking form. The Ecuador minister here, Senor Carbo, has freely discussed the subject with other members of the diplomatic body who come from the south and today, to give an official character to his mission, he addressed a copy of the circular stating the pur- pose of holding the general assembly, signed by the minister of foreign af- fairs of Ecuador to the ministers of all of the nations of Central America and sent for transmission to their respect i've foreign offices.
 A copy was delivered also to Secre- tary Olney, for it ia.expected the United States will certainly be repre- sented as it was in the pan-American congress.

BILL FOR ANNEXATION. Part of Arizona May Be
 Added to Utah. Pensions Granted Widows of
 Late Generals.
Resolution that Cuban Insurgents Be Recognized as Bel
 llgerentS.

WASHINGTON Feb. 5.-The be- lated tariff bill emerged from the finance committee today and made its appearance in the senate soon after the session opened. Chairman Nor Till made report, stating that the free silver amendment had taken the place of the original bill.
 MT. Quay made two attempts to have the bill recommitted to the com mittee with instructions to report back separate tariff and free silver bills, but was cut off by parliamentary objections. His resolution for recom- mitment will come up under rules to- . morrow.
 Among the bills introduced in the senate today were those by Senator Cannon for the annexation to Utah of all the portion of Arizona lying north of the Colorado river and west of the eastern boundary of Utah, and by Sen ator Davis to amend the Indian depre- dation act so as to permit the payment of claims for losses by Indian raids of those persons who have declared their intention of becoming citizens.
 Among the bills favorably reported was that granting a pension of $200 a month to the widow of the late Gen eral Walter Q. Gresham and $100 a month to the widow of the late Gen. eral Ewing.
 The senate. today confirmed the nomination of Ignacio SepulVeda of California to be the secretary of the legation of the United States at the City of Mexico.
 The senate committee on foreign re- lations today agreed upon substitute for the resolution heretofore reported on the question of the recognition oi Cuba and authorized Senator Morgan to report it to the senate. It is:
 Resolved, By the senate, the house of representatives concurring, that ir the opinion of congress the condition of war exists between the government of Spain and the government pro- claimed and for some time maintained by force of arms by the people of Cuba and that the United States of America should maintain strict neutrality be- tween the contending powers and ac- cord to each all the rights of belliger.

PECULIAR ASSERTION.
The Russian Minister at Washington
 Is Falsely Quoted.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Rus sian minister, MT M. E De Keitzebue, was surprised and amused when shown the statement in the St. James Gazette of yesterday saying he had informed Secretary Olney that Russia would see to it that Turkey paid any indemnity required by the United States and that upon this assurance the United States abandoned the Constantinople naval demonstration in Turkish waters
 Minister Ketzebue says he has given no such assurance to Mr. lney. He is careful to avoid discussing impending diplomatic subjects, but in view of the fact that this has no diplomatic status, he thought himself fully warranted in dismissing it as pure fiction.

DEATH WAS PREFERRED. An Entire Family of
 Seven Killed. Frightful Deed Committed By
 the Father.
Reduced to Extreme Want, Richard KIattks Murders His Entire
 Family.

OHTCAGO, Feb. 5.-Reduced to ex- treme want and seeing no future but death by starvation was the means of inducing Richard Klattke, a Lake view carpenter, to kill his entire fam bullet into his own brain.
 The dead are: Richard Klattke, carpenter, aged 38; Kate Klattke, his wife; John Klattke, the father, aged 73; Nina Wilhelmina, mother Jaw, aged Il; Nina Klattke, daughter, aged g; Anna Klattke, daughter, aged 8, and Emma Klattke, daughter, aged '.
 This morning a neighbor entered their little cottage at 2O7 Busaku ave nue, two blocks from the Cuyler sta tion on the Chicago & Northwestern railway, and was mortified to find the entire family lying in various positions on the floor dead, each with a gaping bullet wound in the head. Death in ous. It is thought that Klattke first chloroformed the family, then delfb- erately put bullet into the brain of each, reserving one for himself On examining the remains of the dead it was found that Mrs. Klattke, the wife of the murderer, was cognizant Of what her husband was doing, as there was every evidence of struggle, her hands and face being scratched and her clothing torn.
 Klattke had been out of work since last Christmas and failing to find en- ployment grew Respondent and deter mined In mt his family and h m cnIf out of misery. If he had but post poned the frightful deed a few minutes succor would have arrived, for Adolph Schmidt, the man who discovered the bodies, had called with the joyful in- telligence that he had found employ ment for Klattke. Another man ar rived shortly afterward on the same er- rand
