WHY INDIA OBJECTED.

London. Oct. 23.-The reply OF the
government OF India upon which Lord
Salisbury based his decision is a long
document. giving an emphatic negative
TO the proposal TO reopen the India mints.
II says: THE first result OF the sug-
gested measures, IL they were TO succeed
even temporarily In the object. would be
an intense disturbance OF Indian trade
and industry. There would be a sud-
den rise in exchange. which. II the ratio
OF l5is 10 were adopted would be TO
about 23d the rupee. Such rise would
be enough 10 Kill our export trade for a
time at least, unless the public was con-
vinced that the arrangement would be
permanent and have the effect intended.
The paralysis OF trade and industry
would be prolonged and would be accom-
panied by acute individual suffering.
None OF the advantages expected would
be attained, and the country would pass
through a critical period which would
retard its progress for years"

BAILlNG LUETGERT.
States Attorney Not willing That the
Prisoner Should BE Released,

Chicago. oct. 23.-Judge Tuthill, State
Attorney Deneen, Assistant State At
torney McEwen, ex-Judge Vincent and
Attorney Phalen had an informal con-
ference yesterday. Luetgert was brought
dnto court. and the report went abroad
that a formal motion TO admit him to
bah would Immediately follow the con-
ference. No agreement was reached.
Mr. Deneen vigorously opposed the de-
mand that the prisoner be released on
bail, and the upshot Of the argument
was that no formal demand was made
for the prisoners admission TO bail.
Ex-Judge Vincent said he would let
the matter rest for two or three days ana
then make formal application. He added
that any reasonable bond could be given.
II was intimated that IL the formal de-
mand WAS denied writ OF fabeas corpus
would be applied for If this action Is
taken State Attorney Dsneen says he
will at once put the Luetgert case on the
calendar for trial asain. AID IL is among
the possibilities that the big sausage

An Italian Solomon.

The Duke of Ossone while viceroy OF
Naples, delivered many quaint and clever
judgments. The case is related where a
young Spanish exquisite named Bertrand
Solus, while lounging around in the busy
part of the city, was run against by por-
tor carrying bundle Of wood on his
shoulder.
The porter had called out. "Make way,
pleased" several times, but without effect.
He had then tried to get by without COLI
sion, but his bundle caught in the young
man s velvet dress and tore it, Solus was
highly indignant and had the porter ar
rested. The vioeroy, who had privately
investigated the matter, told the porter to
pretend he was dumb and at the trial to
reply by signs to any question that might
be put to him.
When the case came on and Solus had
made his complaint, the yioeroy turned to
the porter and asked him what he had to
say in reply. The porter only shook his
head and made signs with his hands
"What Judgment do you want me to
give against dumb MANI" asked the vice.

"Oh, your excellency," replied Solus,
falling into the trap, 'sthe man is an i'm
postor. I assure you he is not dumb. Be
fore he ran into me I distinctly heard him
cry out, Make wayP"
Then" said the viceroy sternly, "if
you heard him ask you to make way for
him, why did you noti The FAULT Of the
accident was entirely with yourself, and
you must give this poor man compensa-
ton for the trouble you have given him in

BEYOND REACH.

I am the thing that no man sees,
Though man from old has sought,
All unaware of trap or snare,
Yet am never caught.
And men may seek till doomsday come,
All other suits forsake,
Yet still fly and still defy,
For me they may not take.
Above the highest mountain tops,
Beneath the deepest seas,
I still abide and there hide
From each and all of these.
They know not even how look,
Nor what my form may be,
Nor do they know if veal or woe
Or virtue is in me.
The name own they cannot call,
And when their steps are bent
To seek me out they vainly shout,
ooh, come to us, Content!"
