Sounds Like A Load.

Samuel Haley, a cowboy from
the Teton country, was in the city
yesterday, He tells a story tina,
ID full Of romance. Near the little
village of Belleview in Teton and
standing alone by itself IN The
home of Henry Gaines. a ancher
he might be called, for on his little
plot of ground he has a small
garden and is the p%ossessor of a
horse and two cows. Els family
consists of a wife and one daughter.
Early in 1889, a cowboy named
Wallace was injured near their
place and carried to that home.
During his several months illness
the girl watched over his sick bed
with the tenderness of a sister, but
the cowboy died. He vas buried
on the old mans plot of ground and
since that time Miss Gaines has
never been known to even as much
as smile. Among the cowboys
who frequently call at the home
she is known as "Lot's Wife"
1t is said that in summer daily she
visits the grave and that lonely
spot on the western wilds is a
little garden springing up to re-
mind the girl of her lost love.
Among The COWBOYS she is a
general favorite and nong them is
not n who would not stop to do q
good turn for "Lot's wife. Great

r. G. Dunn & Cos Weekly Re-
view, of Saturday says: The
classified failures for November
show a gratifying reduction com
pared with October, and are es-
pecialiy important as showing
that the peculiar disturbance
during the presidential campaign
which swelled fail ures $36, 600, 900
on August and September, did not
prevent a gu lex return to a monthly
aggregate scarcely greater than
that of May. Defaulted liabilities
in eleven months have been $14,~
600, 900 outside of those two
months, and this remaining in
crease of only 10 per cent. was in
part due to the alarm during the
campaign. The decline of forty
per cent of the September aggre-
gate gives stronger ground for
the confidence S" generally ex.
pressed.
The republican party is thankful
for all the aid given by patriotic
democrats in the late election and
will give what it promlsed-sound
money. But it did not sell or
barter its principle of protection in
any single. instance in the cam
paign. Its candidate was singled
out from$the many, because he vas
the peoples ideal of protection
principles. His platform was clear
an outspoken upon the subject.
And 0 the bankrupt condition
of the treasury makes the subject
one for immediate action ia the
interests -,of the whole nation ~

'M'nALEY is SATISFIED
Thinks the Horizontal Tariff Bill
the Thing.
1t Would BE Folly to Try to Put
Through a Radical Protec-
tive Tariff Bill at This
Time, He Says.

Columbus. o., Dec. 2s.-"I think the
tariff bill passed in the house yesterday
is a suitable answer to the presidents
appealafor, aid said GovernuT McKin-
ley, when asked for his views of the
measure. O course, it Is only an
emergency measure. Chairman Ding
ley of the ways and means committee
gives a very comprehensive and sensi-
Bile statement of the bill n the situa.
ton in his report to h house.
1T will be observed that, as he says,
the bill is intended to be in force only
two and a half years, and by that time.
he states, 1t is expected the republicans
will be returned to power and will re.
enact a permanent protective tariff sys-
tenn. Under the present circumstances,
it doubtless would be folly to endeavor
to enact a substantial protective tariff
bill. 1t probably would not go through
the senate, and even If 1t did the presi-
dent would veto it."
Asked what he thought of the present
status of the controversy with England,
Governor Mckinley replied:
There is nothing now which seems to
call for any statement on that question
from me. The commission to invest-
gate the Venezuelan boundary line has
not beer appointed and no action has
been taken since the presidents mes
sage that throws much light upon the
question. AS to what the finale will be.
1t is to early too predict"

REFUSAL OF ExEQUATERs
Secretary OIney's Report in Answer
to Senate Inquiry.
Nrzeroum and Harpoot Have No
Foreign Trade = No Foreign
Representation AT the
Latter Place.

Washington, Dec. 30.-The president
sent to congress today a report from the
secretary of state in response to the
resolutions adopted by the senate last
week calling for a statement about the
refusal of the Turkish government to
grant exequaters to two United States
consular officers. The report follows:
To the President: The secretary of
state has had the honor 10 receive by
reference of the president, 3 senate res
olution OF December 81, 1895, which Is
In the terms following:
Resolved, That the president be re-
quested, IL not incompatible with the
public interests, to inform the senate
whether the exequaters OF the American
Vice consuls duly appointed to the con-
sulates Of Erzeroum and Harpoot have
been withheld or refused by the Turkish
government. while e%xequaters were
granted to the consuls of other nations
at h some points"
The facts respecting the new consul
ates at ErZeroum and Harpoot-tempo-
rarily filled by the appointment of Mr..
Robert s. Chiffon. jr., as vice consul at
Erzeroum and of Mr.. William D. I'M
ter as vice onsul at Harpoot-have
been fully set forth in the report Of this
department annexed to the special mes
sage OF the president of the 18th Of the
present month.
Since the making of the report, how
ever, attention has been called to an err
ror Of slight Importance but which 1t
may be well to take the present oppor-
tunity to correct. Instead of Messrs.
Chiffon and Hunter departing for Tur-
key early last autumn, they We're COM
missioned In June, Immediately started
on their journey, reached CONSTANT
nople in July and after waiting there for
two months for their exequaters were,
on September II, directed to go to their
respective posts without them.
The statement of the same report
that consulates of Great Britain and
France are already established at Err
zeroum and Harpoot vas made on the
authority of early advices. 1t has since
been ascertained that no foreign consul
lar representation of any kind exists al
Harpoot. That town lies in Koordistan,
q district comprising the vilayets of
Harpoot, Diarbekr, Sort, Moosh and
Van. 1t is embraced in the consular
Jurisdiction of a British consulate for
Koordistan, the residence of the prin-
cipal officer being at Erzeroum (Which,
however, lies in Armenia, north Of
koordistan proper, with subordinate
vice consuls at the towns of Diarbekr
and Van. AT both of these latter
places. as also at Mosul, in the eastern
part Of Koordistan. vice consulates of
lther powers are established. although
ts regards lack Of foreign trade they are
n much the same case as Harpoot.
At Erzeroum, consulates are main
aimed by Persia and Russia, and vice
%'onsulates by France and Italy.

FOR A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
Bills introduced in the House and
Senate for That Purpose.


Washington, Dec. 2s.-Another bill to
establish a national university at
Washington has been introduced in
both the senate and the house. 1t pro-
vides for a university of the highest
type, vests the government of the uni
versity in a board of sixteen regents
with the president of the United States
at its head, and a university council,
embracing said board and twelve emf
nent educators representing as many
institutions of high rank and belonging
to as many states:the regents to have
charge of all business affairs; the coun-
ell of all else.
1t further authorizes the university to
establish cooperative relations with
other institutions of the country; pro-
hibits partisan and sectarian prefer
ences In any form; makes admission de-
pend on competency only and so guards
the degrees to be granted as to protect
the interests Of all collegiate institu-
lions entitled to recognition.
In consideration of the financial con-
dition Of the country. it appropriates for
the fiscal years 1897 and 1895 barely
enough to enable the board Of regents
to organize and do sach preliminary
work as should not be longer delayed;
at the same time opening the door to all
such as nay desire in imitation of
George Washington to contribute in
any way to the great enterprise origi-
mated by him

Shortly after the hearing began. Z
warm discussion ensued between coun
