with the Fort Thomas murder, is
wanted here for the embeZzlement
OF $3.50 from the United Brethren
Church OF Friendship. Jackson
contended that he was robbed last

was committed. He is suffering
from epileptic fits, and is ;magina.

Vance, his employer, here substan.
tiates the above, and says he does
not believe Jackson drove the cab,
because he is too cowardly. The
same belief prevails among the
colored people here.

Zimmerman Back From Australia.

SAN Francisco, Feb. IA. A.
Zimmerman, the champion pro-
fessional bicycle rider, who arrived
from Australia yesterday, attri.
hutes his failure to come back with
an unbeaten record to the Austria
liam climate. The bicycle riders
OF that country, he said, do not
compare with those OF England or
American in speed, but no matter
how fast foreign rider may be he
cannot expect to win every race
until he has lived long enough in
the country to become acclimated.
Parsons and Walker are the best
riders in Australia, but they would
stand little chance in this country
against our fast men.
Another thing which hampered
Zimmerman in Australia was the
poor tracks. They are four laps to
the mile, and covered with grass.
Zimmerman won l9 races in Aus
tralia and was beaten several
times, twice at Newcastle, just be-
fore he sailed. He was well sat
isfied with the financial results Of
his trip as the prizes for the races
generally are $1,000. The general
Interest taken In bicycling in that
country is great and the races are
generally attended by from 10000
to 10000. Zimmerman was re-
ticent about his plans for the
future. He was undecided whether
he would race again. II he did
race again it would probably be in
Paris where he has a standing
offer of $500 q week awaiting him.
This he thinks would be much more
profitable than following the cir
cult in the Uni ted States.

OPPENHEIM ARRIVES.
American Securities Will Be in Great
Demand Abroad.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Mr. Ansel
Oppenheim, vice president of the
Chicago and Great Western rail-
way, arrived from England on the
steamer st. Louis.
Mr.. Oppenheim was at the Fifth
Avenue hotel last night, and said I:
The Englishmen have not stopped
selling our securities. / have been
six weeks in England, and 1 learn
that the Englishmen believe that
the Americans are able to do what
they set out to do, but do not be-
lieve that we have enough revenue
to meet our expenses. They say
that IL we had this revenue, the
so.called "endless chain" of de.
posting and withdrawn gold from
the sub.treasuries would be broken.
There is general feeling on the
other side that the whole world is
entering upon a period Of prosper
ity. The EnglishInen are now buy
ing our securities, all reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding. In all
this recent trouble they did not
hesitate to advance me Sl,000,00U
for the betterment Of the Chicago
and Great Western.
"Beforo six months have passed
all f1rst-class American securities
will be in great demand in Eng
land, as there is great deal OF
idle money which sooner or later
must seek investment here. The
Englishmen prefer American secu-
rites to all other non.English
securities. Money in London is
abundant at a low rate of interest.
The surplus Of revenue collected by
the English government for the
past year was f6,0OO,OO0 or $50, O0O,-
600.

Little.

Argentina and Chill and Brazil Chin a
Little.
NEW YORK, Feb. ia dispatch
to the Herald from Buenos Ayres
says: A leading paper here prints
an interview which it states was
granted to its correspondent by a
member of the Gillian cabinet.
The interview summarized is to
the effect that Chilli is disposed to
conceal all the claims OF Argentina

the Atlantic coast of South Ameri-
ca. The president OF Brazil has

The Herald's correspondent in Rio
Janeiro telegraphs that the state
ment is attributed to Minister

existed between Brazil and Chilli.
1t is also stated as highly as
probable that the government will
Issue a formal denial Of this al
legged alliance, to satisfy the gov
eminent Of Argentina that the
most friendly feelings exists to-
wards that republic on the part OF
Brazil.
Great satisfaction Is expressed in
official circles In Brazil and by the
Italian legation at the signing OF
the protocol submitting the claims
OF italian subjects to arbitration
by the president Of the United
| States.
A telegram has been received
from London by the Brazilian
government stating that the Brit
ish cabinet will not at present dis
cuss the requests Of Brazil relative
to the island of Trinidad.
The new treaty which has been
negotiated between Brazil and
Bolivia and which will be signed
at an early date, gives Bolivia inn
portant rights in the waterway OF

Cargo Listed-Steamer Return.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE An
ehor line single screw fraighter
Elysia, which sailed from Genos,
on Saturday afternoon with gen.
eral cargo, put back to port that
night on account of insubordina-
ton of her crew. When she had
got about IA miles east Of Sandy
Hook and Capt. j. johnson was
at work in his cabin aft, with the
charts, waiting to hear the Fire
Island light reported, he was sud
denly disturbed by the whole crew,
sailors and stockers who came aft
and announced that they would
not work the ship any further and
insisted that he return to port. He
was informed that the cargo had
been improperly slowed and had
shifted making decided list to
the ship and that the crew refused
to go any further? Captain John
son decided to return to New York
harbor. In an interview last night
he said:

prise / had no idea there was any
Dissatisfaction among the crew I'M
til all forty of them, seamen, and
stockers came aft and told ms
they would not work the ship any
more. What they said about a
list to starboard was all nonsense.
The ship had small list, but there
was q half gale blowing and that
caused it. You can see how that
she is on even keel. But / was
powerless to do anything. There
are a lot of sea layers in the crew,
which is Scotch, and were shipped
nine months ago for two years.
This is the first time L have had a
complaint from them. l shall dis
charge them all and ship another
crew and start again."
One of the crew said: "WheD
we left the Hook the ship had a

were afraid to go to Gibraltar In
her and we told the captain that
he would have to come back to

WHAT SAVED THE CORPSE.

The Lawrence Journal makes the
point that hundreds of thousands of
Republicans have been led into the
Democratic ranks through the door Of
Populism. That is true. The Journal
tersely states a fact the correctness of
which nobody can fail Of recognizing.
The Insignificant contingent, headed
by Palmer and Buckner, excepted, and
Democracy and Pcpulism are one and
the same thing. They believe the same
things, talk the same things and have
a candidate for president in common.
There are few Pops, and but few,
who designate themselves as the mid
dle-of- the road Popufsts, who grow
red in the face and holly protest that
they are not Democrats. But all the
same that is just where the managers
have landed them. A majority of these
middle-of- the-roaderS were formerly
Republicans. A glance at their cleo
toral ticket will show them that every
man there is that of an Old-time free
trade, pension hating Democrat. There
would have been no Democratic party
in this campaign but for its new aces
sions of Pops, who were largely, orig
inally, Republicans. This is true Cleve-
lands syndicate dickering and Wilson's
tariff legislation had wiped out the
Democratic party as a national organi-
cation. The thing that saved the corpse
was sudden and unexpected revivif
cation brought about by the infusion
of all the blood there was in the Pop
party. Find a Republican vino joined
the Pop party and we will show you a
free trade, free silver Democrat who
will be voting with Tammany and sup
porting the only anti-pension, anarchis
tic pie-eating party of the country.
