Gen. Horace Porter goes to France
with the idea that his chief mission
there may be the development of our
trade relations with the French At
present no annoying diplomatic ques-
tons are pending between the United
States and France and there is nothing
to interfere with the growth OF trade
between the countries except the feel
ing that may be engendered by the
enactment of the tariff law now being
discussed in congress. And any diff
Guilty on that score, Gen. Porter says,
can be removed by the application Of
the principle of reciprocity.

Have you seen any Indications OF
this return OF confdence?"
81 have seen great many. I have
heard through the railroads OF little
factories which have started up In
many places that are beginning to give
business to the roads. Men are asking
the banks for accommodations in their
business. All the preliminary signs are
here, and have no doubt that by the
fall we snail be on the high road to the
prosperity which we have not known
now for more than four years. Com
meT-c;al history shows that these peri

are followed invariably by periods of
great prosperity. Ali :he conditions

From his house the criminals are
sent for the poison. into which the
points of all warlike instruments are
dipped; it is of high value and brings
considerable revenue to the king.
Tie poison which is produced from this
tree is a gum that issues out between
the bari, and the tree itself, like cam
pkor. Malefactors who for their crimes
are sentenced to die are the only per
sons who fetch the poisons, and this is
the only chance they have of saving
their lives. After sentence is pro-
bounced upon them by the judge they
are asked in court whether they viii
die by the hands Of the executioner or
whether they will go to the upas tree
for a box of the poison.
"They commonly prefer the latter
proposal, as there is not only some
chance of preserving their lives, but
also the certainty In case of safe re-
turn that q provision will be made for
them in future by the king. They are
also permitted to ask favor from him,
which is generally of a trifing nature
and is commonly granted. They are
then provided with silver or tortoise
shell box in which they are to put the
poisonous gum and are properly in
structed how they are TO proceed while
they are upon their dangerous expedi-
ton.
"They are always told to attend to
the direction of the wind; they are to 60
toward the tree before the wind, 30 that
the effiuvia from it may blow from
them. They go first to the house of the
old ecclesiastic, who prepares them by
prayers and admonit:ons for their fu-
ture fate; he also puts on them long
leathern cap with two glasses before
their eyes, which comes down as far as
the breast, and provides them with
pair OF leather gloves. Thereupon they
are conducted by the priests and their
friends and relations about two miles
OF their journey.
1.-THE old ecclesiastic assured me that
in upward of 80 years he had dismissed
above ECO criminals in the manner de-
scribed ard that scarcely two out of 90
had returned. All, the Malayans con-
slider this tree as a holy instrument Of
the great prophet to punish the sins of
mankind; therefore to die By the poison
of the upas is regarded among them as
an honorable death. This, however, is
certain, that from IS to IS miles around
this tree not only no human creature
can exist, but no animal of any kind
has ever been discovered. There are no
fish in the waters. and when any birds
fly so near this tree that the effluvia can
reach them they drop down dead

THE DEADLY UPAS.
Detailed yerrion of This Myth WITH
Which Few Are Familiar

Everybody has heard OF the deadly
upss tree" yet few, probably, even OF
those who use the phrase with fne
rhetorical effect have any very definite
conception of its meaning. OF course,
the whole thing is myth; but the fol-
lowing version, extracted from a quaint
old book, may serve TO render our ideas
less hay about IL.

Island OF Java, between IS and 20 leagues
from Tinkjoe, which is the residence Of
the king OF the country. II IS sur

"No, and think that it is for the bet
ter. Speculation is what makes panic
possible. Money can be had at very rea-
sonable rates on good security, how
ever, though recently there has been
slight appreciation in the money rate.
A factor which influences the condition
Of the money market is the fact that
no high7grade bonds have been issued
recently. When money cannot find
these bonds to buy. it seeks the second
grade bonds and so on down. There
has been demand for the best bonds
and they are at a good premium: and
this has made the demand for the bonds
of other kinds more active of late"
"Do you think business is going to

"The Indications are that the mills
will begin to get ready this summer for
the increased demands of the fall
trade. The railroads. as I said, have
noticed already a disposition on the
part of small manufacturers to begin
business. The starting of the mills
means greater demands on the rail-
roads and that means business for the
railroad supply houses: end the rail-
road supply business is one Of the
greatest of our interests"

Fortunately it is also true that Ameri-
cans do not go abroad to spend that
money unless they have a surplus to
spend"

from restitution and disease. The
coasts frequented by them are all but
exhausted of game and fur-bearing ami
mails and the taking of beaver has been
prohibited until 1900 in order to pre-
vent its total destruction. BY the time
they are permitted to again trap the
beaver there will probably be no In
