of strength and not from timidity or
weakness. They would warn a gov
eminent which was making political
capital out of clustering demonstra-
lions that our patience might be tried
too far"
This in the midst of cur night OF
disaster; this because we asked Eng
land to remember the cause for which
we fought. this in reference to the pa
tient and long suffering Lincoln, agon-
iZing in the midst of his mighty trials
l am glad that such a dispatch is
not likely to be written again by a
British premier.
Two facts, honorable to the British
character, shine out just here, and
am glad to mention them. One was
the attitude of the queen and Prince
Albert, both of whom were anxious to
preserve harmony between the two ma
tons. Prince Albert, indeed, arose
from a sick bed, which a fortnight
later became his deathbed, and, at the
instance of her majesty, wrote ad-
vising a softening Of the dispatch de-
handing the return of Mason and Sill
dell. The other was the admirable
conduct of Lord Lyons in Washington,
who, by his courtesy, made a compli-
ance with the demand of his govern
ment possible.
The attitude of England in demand
ing the release of Mason and Slidell
was supported by France, Prussia and
Austria. France fastening, also, to
take advantage of our troubles to gain
a fo0thold in Mexico, another exhibit
ton of what traditional friendship
amounts to between nations Indeed,
the nations of the world seemed
leagued against US, and while not act
ually taking up arms, doing every
thing short of this to multiply our
woes and add to our perplexities.
There was one exception, as there is
one exception now. From away off in
st. Petersburg came the welcome
words: Russia desires above all
things the maintenance of the Ameri-
can union as one individual nation"
1t is no time for reminding old
hatTeds, but when the English people
express surprise at the feeling ex-
hibited in this country over the pros
pect of hostilities, they should be re-
called to the days of our mortal peril
when British hearts were steeled
against US and we battled for national
life unpItied and unsupported.

HORSELESS VEHICLE.
How the Successful Duryea Machine
Is Operated.

The Duryea gasoline carriage, which
went "a miles in 10 hours at the recent
Chicago contest, is the invention of
G.. e. and J. F. Duryea, of Springfield,
Mass, and is one OF the first successful
ones using the petroleum motor. The
il is believed that improvements can
be made so as to cut off at least $50
pounds from this and not weaken the
construction. The power is generated
by an electric spark exploding one drop
Of gasoline at a time in the cylinder
and consequently there is not the
slightest danger of an explosion of the
fluid stored. One Of the exclusive de-
vices in the Duryea wagon is the steer
ing apparatus, which allows a very
simple and easy control Of the machine
with one hand. By moving a horizon
tai lever from side to side the wagon
is directed accurately, while the speed
is regulated by movement up and
down. To start the machine the lever
is lowered to an easy horizontal posi-
ton going a speed of s or 10 miles
an hour AS the lever is pushed down
still further a higher set of gears is
put in use, the engine automatically
developing more power, until a speed
Of II or Is miles an hour is developed.
While, by hurrying the engine, Is miles
can be made. The estimated cost of
a petroleum motor is from a quarter
TO half a cent a mile, a gallon being
all that is needed for a 30mile run.
The wagon was recently equipped with
ball bearings and pneumatic tires, and
it moves almost noisele5sly. There was
at first a putting sound like low roar,
but this was done away with. A minor
defect which the promoters hope to
remedy is the gasoline smell, which,
while it does not reach the nostrils of
the passenger, is isagreeable to those
who happen to follow the vehicle.
The motor carriage industry is a
Springfield, Mass, institution, and is
likely to have a lively boom as the
result of the lace. A manufacturing
plant has been established and as soon
as improvements are made in the
weight the wagons will be manufac-
tured The managers are naturally
pleased that the original, heavy and
somewhat crude model should have
won the prize and believe this estab-
fishes the superiority of the pattern be-
yond dispute.

how she had found out his name, and
uncertain how he was to ask her hers.
But she did not volunteer the in

Middle is the oldest and is the prin-

So they went up and looked over
the old building and the objects OF

enormous stone that the class of ~

ial Of their greatness and the many
other objects of similar interest.
Then, coming to the other halls, he
pointed out the ledge where a poor
freshman had been compelled to stand
on cold winter night, and related to
her a story of a hazing scrape of his
sophomore year. In all of those things
she showed such an appreciative in
terest, that he exclaimed:

that you would have enjoyed going to

Just as they reached the street again
a sleigh drove by. Jack glanced at it
and saw that Miss Stevens was seated
in it. At the same instant she caught
sight of him and his companion. Call

claimed:
why Mable! I was just coming
down to the river for you. And you

WHEELER GOES FREE.
A Case Growing Out of Liquor Selling
at the Soldiers Home.

Milwaukee, Jan. 5.-The proceed
ings instituted by Charles Cuppel
against Cornelius Wheeler, governor
of the soldiers home, for selling or
giving away malt liquors without q
license, were ended by Justice Taft,
who dismissed the case with the con-
sent of Charles Cuppel, the complain
ant, after the facts as stated in the
complaint had been admitted by the
defense. The ground taken by Gen. F.
c. Winkler, counsel for the defense,
was that the supervisors of Wauwa-
tosa had no right to interfere with a
management directed by federal au-
thorities. Judge Seaman's decision
was mentioned incidel tally by Assist
ant District Attorney Bennett as MAX
ing further proceedings useless.
The charge against Gov. Wheeler
was based upon the maintenance, at
the soldiers home, by authority of the
national board of managers, OF bar
for the sale of beer to veterans.

Much Competition.

Milwaukee, Jan. 5.-A meeting Of
local saloonxeepers will be held this
week to consider the organization of a
protective association to discontinue
the service of free lunches, to stop the
retailing of liquors by wholesale deal
ers and to induce the brewing COM
panies to discontinue the practice of
planting saloons in every vacant house
and on every corner where a chance is
offered.

USE THE UNDERTOOK.
Irrigation Will Reclaim Thousands of
Acres in Western Kansas.

One of the most important questions
before the people of western Kansas
is that of irrigation and its advance
ment during the past two years has
been phenomenal. For years the farm
ers of that section have been handi-
capped and the crops impaired by the
want of moisture at the very times it
was most needed. Often when the corn
had obtained it's full growth and had
begun to tassel out, nature would take
a notion to shut off the water supply,
and, of course, the yield would fall
short of expectations, or be a total
failure.
But now remedy has been devised
and the reduction Of irrigation to a
practical basis will not only prove one
of the greatest boons ever offered to
agriculture but will also reclaim hun
dreds and thousands of acres Of the
arid lands in western Kansas and
make them rich and productive. In
different parts of the state irrigation
presents different forms and varied OBJ
oIdCltS are tuCOuIt640u' Ii IAC cast
ern part of Kansas the ample rainfall
makes irrigation unnecessary, but it
has been demonstrated that with the
aid of irrigation in this part Of the
state a much larger yield can be OBJ
tanned The water is obtained from
the streams or lakes, and the apparatus
used has been so simpIified and cheap
ened as to place it within the reach
of every one. so that many farmers
and vegetable raisers have put in
plants on their places.

Bradstreets says The week has
been very dull in mercantile circles.
The volume of business has fallen
away sharply, owing to the New
Years holiday and the quiet in trade
circles at the time when stock-taking
and the preparing of samples for COM
mercial travellers are taking the atten-
ton of jobbers and commission houses.
The slackening of activity in some
important manufacturing lines is like
wise noticeable, and it is significant
that kilograms from so many centers
report mercantile collections stower.
Jobbers in leading lines at many cen
tiers are confident as TO the outlook for
trade in the near future, although in
instances fears are expressed of an I'M
favorable effect, due to inability to Sc
cure necessary legislation on financial
questions.
The exports of Indian corn this
week, 3,227,000 bushels, are exception
ally heavy, being larger than those for
any previous week since that ending
February, 1892. AS is usual this sea-
son, there is considerable increase in
the number of business failures in the
United States, the total reported be-
ing 4O3 this week, against 373 the cor
responding week a year ago.

Paris, Jan. Mot one OF the news
papers of this city minces words in
commenting upon the invasion of the
Transvaal territory by the fiibustering
expedition under DR.. Jameson. In
spite of the statements made by the
British colonial secretary, Joseph
Chamberlain, and the assertions of the
governor of Cape Colony, the premier
of Cape Colony and the managing di-
rector of the British South African
company, the Figaro insists that Dr..
Jameson did not act without having
orders to do so from Cecil Rhodes, the
premier of Cape Colony, who
in turn, according to the newspaper
mentioned, was in communication
with England. The Figaro adds: "The
English simply wish to do with the
mines Of South Africa as pickpocket
does with ones purse and with the
help of a we'll organized hustle.
The Rappel remarks: Germany,
France and Russia are in accord. What
will England do? Will she dare with
the United States already on her
bands, to defy Europe with her insati-
able rapacity and untenable claims
and end by arousing formidable coai-
ition to which she will be compelled to
humiliate herself?"
The Lanterne expresses the opinion
that Great Britain's contention that
the foreign powers have no right to
interfere in the Transvaal is nothing
more nor less than an application of
Monroeism. "Mr. Rhodes" adds the
Lanterne, wants to capture Delagoa
bay and thus nullify the conquest of
Madagascar"
La Justice says: DR.. Jameson's at
tempt at international filibustering has
inflicted one more defeat on the invad-
ing policy of the United King ON"

THE YEAR IN TRADE.
Failures Fewer But Liabilities Some
Greater.

New York, Jan. Ar. G. Dun & Co.
say that the commercial failures dur
ing the year 1895 number 1887
against 1885 in 1894 but that the ag-
gregate liabilities are slightly greater
-S173, 10000 against S172,992, $50, so
that the average per failure is S13,124
against S12,45S in 1894 The bright
bright promise offered by the large de-
crease in the first quarter was fol-
lowed by small increase in the Sec
ond and third quarters and large in
crease in the last quarter of the year.
In that quarter also deferred liabili-
ties to each firm in business increased,
and also the proportion of deferred Ii
abilities to payments through the
clearing houses.
Remarkable contrasts are shown
this week in the prices of material,
and of manufactured products. Com
pared with Jan. l, 1895, prices of man
ufactured prouucts and of materials
rose, for pig iron ISL per cent. at
the highest point, but only 81 at the
close, while manufactures Of iron rose
the close, anthracite coal rising 1873,
but closing SO per cent. lower than
Jan. 1, 1895. Cotton rose 64.7 per
cent. at the highest point and AL at
the close, but cotton goods only 1913 at
the highest and 145 at the close.
Hides rose 1855 at the highest point
and 1870 at the close; leather $50 at
hn h nh OF
boots and shoes 279 at the highest
and 1876 at the close. Woods rose ~
at the highest point and 60 at the
close; but wooden goods rose only Is of
l per cent. at the highest point clos
ing a shade weaker; silk, 14.3 at the
highest point and 1917 at the close.
The comparisons cast much light on
the depression and increase and in
the failures during the last quarter.
The produce markets have been the
theater of surprising changes which
influenced all business. Wheat pro-
ducers suffered from wild speculation,
which prevented the exporting of
many millions of bushels, and false
reports which encouraged farmers to
keep back their grain until the cream
had been taken off the market by
spectators. The inevitable conse-
quence has been the lowering of
prices, the yield being clearly in ex-
cess of all demands, while Atlantic
exports for the last five weeks, flour
included, have been 9,411,OOO bushels,
against 9,7O4,000 last year. The great
crop of corn materially affected prices
