OUR SILVER NEfotsDR.

How Mexico Prospors Under Fsoe SASeE
In q recent letter from the City of
Mexico to the Boston Herald. Mr.. T.
R. Guernsey Says:
Mexico is the new southwest OF this
continent; it has, all that the heart of
man can desire; it has now a strong
government, and security for life and
property. and it has prosperity. No
body is pulling a long face down here.
It is rank heresy to say So right in
Boston. but we ascribe our happy posi-
tion to having no. bothersome currency
question. Mexico. made the Plunge,
adopted silver, let gold go, and is
standing firmly based on her two feet
and paying every dollar she owes
Experience is worth all theory in the
world. Here stands old Mexico old
in years. fresh and young Ina heart, all
alive with the spirit of enterprise
Come and see her; throw your preju-
dices to the winds! Mexico will not
be fooling around bond syndieates nor
trying to get a gold basis when = silver
one answers every purpose. 1t you
come here, You will be q silver man.
just as jay Gould was a democrat in
democratic counties and a republican
in republican counties, and you can
put on your sound money opinions
when you cross the border to go home.
But sound money, I take it. is q sort of
money that pays your bills. and is good
wherever you tender 1t.

WILL TAKE HIS TIME.
President Cleveland in No Hurry to Act
Upon the Concurrent Cuban Resolutions
of Congress.

President Cleveland in No Hurry to Act
Upon the Concurrent Cuban Resolutions
of Congress.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE cabi-
net meeting yesterday lasted barely
an hour and half, and was appar-
emily devoid of any exciting features.
In fact SO little beyond routine bust
ness was expected to be brought up
that S ecretary Olney forgot all about
the meeting till 30 minutes past the
time OF assembling, when he jumped
up, looked at his watch and fastened
over to the White House. No pro-
gramme of action on Cuban affairs
was submitted by the president. nor
were any of the other plans outlined
in ensational dispatches brought for
ward.
Every indication points to the presi-
dent taking his own time and acting
in his own way, if he acts at all, on
the concurrent Cuban resolutions of
congress. Much emphasis is laid by
those supposed to be close to the pres
ident upon this passage in his annual
oaeSSage:
''Whatever may be the traditional
sympathy of our countrymen as indi-
viduals with a people who seem to be
struggling for larger autonomy and
greater freedom, deepened as such
sympathy naturally must be in behalf
of our neighbors, yet the plain duty of
their government is to observe in good
faith the recognized obligations of in
ternationsl relationship"

THE SCHOONER MARTHA,

To Cuba, seized by tho Customs Author
akiaa-
ky WEST, Fla, April 9.-The
s8eh0qner Martha, that left this city on
the night of March 81, with arms and
1mmnnition, was seized yesterday by
She collector of customs for violation
of section 1897 of the Revised Statutes
= of the United States, having departed
from this district for foreign ports
without first obtaining certificate OF

In the Equator Democrat Tuesday, de-

THE GOLD RESERVE.

Another Opinion to the Way In Which
the '.Endiess Chain" Works.
'Stop the drain on the gold reserve
by increasing the revenue" continues
to be the senseless cry of the gold-bug
sheets. They would like to have the
people quarreling about higher or
lower tariff and larger or small internal
revenue taxes instead of considering
the effect of the single gold standard
How any sane person can maintain
that it is lack of revenue that depletes
the gold reserve is more than we can
understand. Only the other day the
administration obtained another SIi5,-
Oo0. 900 in gold by the sale of bonds, in
addition to the gold which it previously
obtained in tie same way Yet the
official tables issued by the treasury
department show that the excess Of
expenditures of the United States for
the year 1895 over the receipts was only
s34, 90, 432 Is it not strange,
if the disappearance OF gold is

DuN.s COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

No Increase In the Volume of Business Re.
| ported, and No Appreciable Advance in
Pricea--Railroad Traffic Heavy, but Re.
ports OF Earnings Not Improved and
stocks DuM-Domestic Business Shows
Slight Improvement.
NEW YORK, April 11.-R. G. Dun &
Co.. say to-day in their weekly review
of trade:
Failures for the past week have been
zoo in the United States, against 207
last year, and SO in Canada against, %
last year.
The volume of business has not on
the whole increased, nor have prices APP
precia bly, advanced since April 1, when
the range for all commodities was the
lowest ever known in this country.
Br-adstuffs and iron products have
risen slightly, but some other articles
have declined, and the root of the mat
ter is that demand for consumption is
still below expectations.
The injury done to winter wheat by
storms and frosts at the west would
appear from reports of the state Off
GERS to have been considerable. But
the reports are not more gloomy than
year ago, and the quantity of wheat
which has come from farms since
August has been 163, 7s1, 594 bushels,
against 129, O75, $50 to the same date
last year.
Stocks have been extremely dull,
and yet railroad traffic is heavy. Re-
ports of earnings have not improved,
The March statement, covering prac-
tically all the roads usually reporting,
shows an increase of 4. 2 per cent over
last year, but a decrease of 1I.2 COM
pared with 1893, and is less satisfactory
than the returns of January or Feb
ruary.
Domestic bus mess reflected by clear
inghouse exchanges is slightly better
than last year. Foreign trade shows
a decrease of nearly ten per cent. in
exports for the week, while imports
gain nearly ten per ten, though in
March the decrease was Ia per cent.
The billet pool aud other combinations
have raised prices of pig iron and steel
Minor metals are dull, but lead
weaker at 3.O5 cents on forced sales
west.
Prices of boots and shoes do not
change, though leather is lower.
Hides are little stronger at Chicago,
receipts being small.
Wool is wea ker, with sales for the
week the smallest for many years.
Prices tend lower except for fine
washed fleece, and manufacturers
are rapidly reducing production.
There is fair demand in the dress
goods branch, but it is estima ted that
not $40 per cent. of the mems wear
machinery is at work. There have
also been cotton mills stopping or re-
ducing time this week. Further re-
duction in shifting prints to the low
est point ever reached failed to in
crease the demand noticeably.

Posse Spent the Rest of the Night I'm q
Fruitiess Hunt for the Would-Be Rob
beers.
ST. LOUIS, April 1O.-Five masked
bandits made an unsuccessful attempt
"Wednesday night to hold up an Iron
Mountain train at Gad's Hill, switch
12O miles south of St Louis. The spot
selected was the same that in 1878 the
famous Jesse James chose fo- one of
his successful robberies. The robbers
intended to wreck train No. 55, the
Texas special, which leaves St. Louis
at Sis D. m. Had it not been for an
extra that was running just few
minutes ahead of the regular train the
attempt would have been successful
About 11:30 an extra, consisting of
an engine and a caboose, entered Gad's
Hill from the north. As the train en-
tered the station it slowed up, as the
crew had orders to meet another train
there.
When it passed over the switch the
train was thrown on side track. This
was unusual. 1t caused the crew to
Jump to their feet at once and look
out. Alongside of the track they saw
five men. all heavily armed and masked.
They had horses hitched to trees near
by.
Before the train men had an oppor-
tunity to gather their wits the men.
with a volley of oaths, mounted their
horses and rode rapidly off in a south
easterly direction. The crew then hur-
ried to the telegraph office at Gad's Hill
and wired the news of the occurrence
to the railroad officials. They also
wired the officials at Piedmont, Mo-,
only a few miles distant. Mayor James
w. Phillips was aroused and at once
set about organizing posse to accom-
pany train No. 55 to Gad's Hill to make
an effort to capture the robbers and
prevent an attack on the train.
Although it was past midnight when
he was apprised of the attempted rob-
berry, by the time train No. 55 reached
Piedmont at 1859 o'clock the mayor
had a band of 16 men ready to board it.
The men were armed with repeating
rifles and shotguns, and were eager to
undertake the capture of the wouId-be
train robbers.
When they boarded the train and
took seats in the smoking car Mayor
Phillips recognized among the passen-
gers Deputy United States Marshals
w. w. Nall and E. j. Brennan, of st.
Louis.
They were told of the mission and
gladly volunteered their services in
the chase.
The passengers in the rear coaches
were not told of what was expected to
happen
When Gad's Hill was reached Mayor
Phillips and his posse made an investi-
CATION.
The extra train which had been SO
unceremoniously sidetracl1ed had pro-
ceeded on it's way south, but the night
telegraph operator gave the officers
all the information the tra1nmen pos
seSSed.
The posse secured horses and sepa-
rated. looking in every direction for
the men. but could find no trace of
them. The country around Gad's Hill
is sparsely settled, and none of the
residents had seen anyone answering
the description of the men seen by the
crew of the extra train.
The posse from Piedmont did not give
up the chase until 3 a. m, when they
returned to Gad's Hill and took train
No. 66 for their home

SExTuPLE TRAGEDY.

| An Attorney OF Pentwater, Mich. Rum
| Amuck, Taking the Lives of Five Per
sons, and Ends His Bloody Work by
Cutting His Own Throat from Ear to Ear.
| PENTwATER, Mich. April lis. b.
Mlnshall, an attorney of this town,
| -rade what proved a successful attempt
Thursday night to assassinate William
d. 0. Sands, president of the Sands &
| Maxwell Lumber Co.
When Sands 4et Minshall the latter
had Winchester rife and demanded
that Sands accompany him. Sands at.
tempted to disarln him, when Minshal]
| fired. the bullet striking Sands in the
upper part of the right arm and shat
tering it badly. Sands then ran to-
ward his home, but was unable to get
the door open. Minshall, who had fol-
lowed his victim, fred four more shots.
three OF which took effect. By this
time Sands managed to unlock the
door, and as he entered he fell insen.
slble, and Minshan fed to his home.
The noise caused by Sands fall
aroused his family and he Up was sum-
moned. A general alarm was raised
by the use of the towns fire whistle.
A cartridge was found near where the
shooting occurred and it was identi-
fed by s. W. Fincher, druggist, as
belonging to Winchester rifle which
Minshall had borrowed from him for
the purpose of shooting crows.
This turned suspicion towards Min
shall as the attempted assassin of
Sands, and the big crowd which had
gathered went to his house. The
house was found lighted, but as no re.
Spouse could be obtained to repeated
knockings on the door it was forced
open.
Mrs. Minshall's body was found w.
ing against the door in the main room.
Her throat had been cut from ear to
ear. The body of Ruby, 16-year-old
daughter, and promising musician,
was found in one corner of the same
room. She had been shot through the
head. Minshall was found near the
body Of his daughter with his throat
cut. In a bedroom was found the bod
les OF George, aged four, and two
year-old baby boy. One shot from the
Winchester had ended both of their
lives.
Minshall had always been co1sid-
cred an inoffensive man. He was As
years Of age.
Sands was Pentwaters leading citizen
and was very wealthy. He was village
president and a membe of the G. A. z.
He was 65 years of age.
One of the letters which Minshall
left was written to a friend in Chicago
asking him to care for his family in
case they should survive him. In the
letter he complained bitterly of the
company's treatment of him in bust
ness matters. He wrote that he would
demand satisfaction from Sands, and,
if he did not receive IT, he would take
him along with him to mix with the
elements.
From this letter it would appear
that the murder of his family was an
afterthought on the part of Minshau

Condition, April 1, as Shown by Agricul-
tural Department ConsolidA-
ted Reports.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE United
States department of agriculture yes.
terday afternoon issued a report OF
the condition of winter grain and
health of live stock April 1, 1896, which
says that consolidated reports from
township, county and state CORE
spondents show a condition of winter
wheat in nine leading states as fol.
lows:
Pennsylvania "a, Ohio SO, Michigan
81, Indiana u, Kentucky 20, Illinois
81, Missouri IS, Kansas SO, California
81; average for the entire country, "a. 1;
last year, s1.4, and SGT in 1894.
The condition of rye was, in New
York, 81; in Pennsylvania, IS; in Wis
consin, u; average for the ntire coun.
try, $40.
Dry weather at seeding time, from
which scarcely a county was extempt,
largely retarded or prevented germin-
alton throughout the winter grain
producing region and the winter fall of
snow was exceptionally scant. Rye
suffered in most states less than
wheat. Drought in early winter and
the alternate freezing and thawiDg
afterward greatly injured the crop
east of the Mississippi.
In Nebraska, Kansas and westward
there was less winter killing than
usual, owing to the mild season, and
present conditions are reported favora-
BILE. The Hessian fly is reported in a
very few counties along the Atlantic
slope.
Condition of horses, 97.6; of cattle,
50; Of sheep, 95.5; of swine, 93.3.
Last years figures were 96.9, 94.6. 95. 5
and o.. from which an improvement is
shown in every case.
Of horses two per cen t. are reported
as having died from disease during the
year, while the losses of cattle were
81 per cent; of sheep As per cent,
and of swine 1877 per cent; last years
percentage being 2.2. a.a, 5.5 and 90.
The lower mortality of sheep and cat
tie is explained by the mild winter;
the percentage of deaths from expo
sure having fallen from last years 20
and 2. to 20 and IL.
The loss of swine was heaviest in
the important Mississippi river states,
Illinois, Iowa and Missouri all report
ing 20 per cent. or over.
