Tobacco Skinned as Lobsters.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Dec 13.-An
audac.ous smuggling conspiracy has been
discovered through the recent seizures of
contraband tobacco at Fortune Bay. The
tobacco was brought from the United
States packed in special boxes, two of
which were intended to be concealed in
lobster cases and exported TO England,
where the duties on tobacco are very
heavy. Immense quantities OF canned
Holsters are exported from Newfound-
land to England yearly. which has en-
abIed this practice to be pursued with
slight risk of detection.

chandter and Silrer.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Dec. 13.-Sen-
ator William E. Chandler has made the
following reply to questions addressed to
him by a citizen of Marion touching his
position on the silver question::
sol course the ultimate question is
whether silver shall be money OF final res
demption, the same as gold, or whether it
is to be an inferior money redeemable in
gold. The various expedients for an en-
larged use of silver simply tend to keep
the price up for the time being, but do not
necessarily aid in remonetizing silver
that is TO say. in making it money as good
as gold. l hope this last result may be
accomp lished sooner or later"

to be the choice of the State at large.
The New York Mail and Express has
been conducting a similar col

shows that although Platt has been
able to deliver nearly solid delega-

mon people is not there. McKinley,
strange to say, is also their favorite,

there is nothing that can prevent his

we who have already expressed our
choice. Self-government is not al
