Depew Predicts Good Times.

New York, Feb. 1.-Chauncey NJ. De-
pew in an interview predicts better
times, but says they will become worse
before they improve and that an extra
session of congress must be called to
settle the policies in regard to the tariff,
currency and foreign affairs before
there is any improvement in existing
conditions. Of the money question he
said: after the tariff there should be
some legislative action in regard to our
currency which will do away with such
possibilities as came to the surface in
the late campaign and which arise from
n non-elastic currency. 1t was this
quality of currency which led so many
honest men last November to vote for a
change which promised them better
monetary conditions"

CURRENCY REFORM.
Comptroller Eckols Gives ais Views to
Hnnno ComnnIttna.

Washington, Jan. 2o.--Comptrolier
Eckels on Thursday gave his views
upon the financial condition of the
country to the house committee on
banking and currency. While there
was no doubt of the necessity for
changes in the governments financial
system, Mr.. Eckes said, the public was
disposed to attribute too much of the
existing trouble to the lack of none
tary legislation. Overtrade, overpro-
duction and extravaganza in private
and public expenditures, partly in
duced by speculation, were large
ly responsible for the country's
business difficulties. The day had
passed when the volume of money
was its most important factor.
Improved facilities for transportation
ana methods of exchanging had lessened
the Importance of large volume. I'M
proved credit was more important. The
first essential in this country was the
stability of public credit.
The current redemption of the de-
mand obligations of the government, he
said, was the chief problem of the treas
ury. In funding and cancellation oI
these obligations so that maintenance
OF a gold reserve would be no longer
necessary was the most desirable pol
| icy; whether it was the most practical
one was question. Mr.. Eckels added;
"a business man who constantly re-
deems Ills notes without retiring them
and keeps them out constantly will
come to settling day that will break
him. The chief feature of banking
bill would be to take from the govern.
ment the issue of credit notes. The
| banks can do this"

nIaniac's Awful Crime.

Wayne, Neb., Jan. 20.-Thursday
morning, on farm ten miles southeast
of this city, C. K. Rash, in a fit of mad
ness, Drained his wife and three chill
dren with an AK and then hacked the
bodies to pieces. The deed was discov-
cred by boy who had been sent from a
neighbours house to engage Mr.. Rash to
help she'll corn. Approaching the house
he was startled by cries, and, suppos-
ing that there was n struggle going on
inside, burst open the door. The furni-
ture of the room was in bad disorder
and the walls and ceiling spattered with
blood. On the bed was the body of Mrs.
Rash, the head so badly battered that
IL was scarcely recognizable. In an ad-
joining room lay the bodies of the chill
drcn. Upstairs in a loft lay the hus-
band of the family. His vacant stare
and wandering talk showed clearly that
reason had left him. The family was in
moderate circumstances and esteemed
highly.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 2o.-Mrs. Amelia

Post, died Thursday night after a lin
gering illness. Mrs. Post was instru-
mental in having the first legislature of
Wyoming territory pass the law grant
ing the franchise to women in 1869, and
it was to a large degree due to her ef-
forts that woman suffrage in Wyoming
was not abolished by the second iegis-
lature. Mrs. Post was member of the
republican state central committee for
u number of years. She was frequent
ly offered public Office, but never ac-

Arbitration treaty Endorsed.

Washington, Feb. 1. - The senate
committee on foreign relations satur-
day voted 6 to 4 to order q favorable
report on the arbitration treaty with
two amendments. The most important
was that which added at the end of ar
ticle 1 the following words: But no
question which affects the foreign or
domestic policy of either of the high con-
tracing parties or the relations of either
with any other state or power by treaty
or otherwise, shall be subject to arbi-
tration under this treaty, except by n
special agreement" The second amend
ment strikes out all reference to his
majesty, the king of Sweden and Nor
way, as the umpire in case the court
fails to agree upon an umpire in ac-
cordance with the provisions of article
3 and article 3.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 1.-The United

against Gen. Carlos Roloff, secretary
of war of the Cuban provisional govern
ment, and his compa atriot, DR.. Joseph
j. Luis, on the charge of beginning,
setting on foot and providing, within
the district of Maryland, means for a

against the island of Cuba" July 3,
1895, Capt. Hudson purchased the
steamer james Woodall in this port,
and fitted her up as a filibuster. On
July 9 she sailed ostensibly for Yuca-
tan; but it is alleged that Roloff and
Luis caused the vessel to put in at
Arbor Key, Fla, where men and muni-
tions of war were taken aboard and sub
sequently landed on the Cuban coast.

A bold Trnin Robbery.

San Francisco, Jan. 30.-Train No. IS,
north-bound Ogden express, was held
up at Shady Point, two miles south of
Roseburg, by two or three men. The
express car was detached from the train
by the robbers and the door blown open
with dynamite. Two small safes in the
car were blown open and looted. The
express car then took fire. The conduc-
ter and trainmen worked hard to save
the car after the robbers had gone, but
the car and contents were destroyed.
The messenger thought the robbers did
not understand getting into the big
safe and consequently they could not
have secured much over $50. The mail
car was also visited by the robbers and
registered letters taken.

MAY Claim r,ir rnro..

Washington, Feb. Estates have the
constitutional right to tax the entire
capital stock of interstate corporations
doing business within their limits. This
was the startling decision of the SUI
preme court Monday in what is known
as the Ohio and Indiana tax cases.
There were three dissenting justices
Field, Harlan and White. 1t is one of
the most important decisions rendered
by the court in many years, as it not
only involves grave constitutional ques-
tions, but will place interstate corpoia-
tions at the mercy of state legislatures
everywhere. Ten of these cases were
brought by the officers of the Adams,
American and United States Express
companies. They were suits in equity
to enioin the assessment and collection
of taxes under the acts of the general
assembly of the state of Ohio, passed
April 27, 1893, and May 10, 1894, for the
taxation of express, telegraph and tele-
phone companies, on the ground that
the acts were in contravention of the
constitutions of the state of Ohio and
of the United States.

Seven Perish at Hoboken, N. j.

Hoboken, N. j., Feb. This city was
visited by two disastrous fires between
1880 Saturday night and three o'clock
Sunday morning. Seven persons were
burned to death and 30 families were
made homeless. The Saturday night
fire started in the three-story frame
building at 40 Newark street. Here
Mrs. Schroeder and her five children
lost their lives while the husband and
father was playing cards in nearby
saloon. Mabel Mangles, eight years old,
was the only victim claimed by death in
the other fire which occurred about a
mile from the scene of the first.

family. He also learned that the passen-
gers were playing cards and drinking
q greaL Aeal of whisky. He further as
certained that the most hilarious of
them all were some western congress
men, who were on their way to Wash
ington to attend the coming session of
congress. There were nearly 300 pas
Sengers on the boat, and at 10: 80 o'clock
they assembled in the cabin and services
were held. Familiar hymns were sung,
end the chaplain prayed, and then de-
iveJad a sermon the like of which few
men have ever heard.
Hhe young preacher said that he had
always been taught to respect people
high in authority, and had been led
to believe that gentlemen who were
sent to congress were leaders of their
people in all things good. He had sup
posed that they were representatives
of the people intellectually and morally
as well as politically. But while on the
boat he had heard enough to convince
him that il the representatives in con-
gress were really representatives of the
people, then this republic must be ma
tion of drunkards. gamblers and ungod-
ly men in every particular. With Wig
orous and direct English. such as few
men can use, the young preacher said
that as an American citizen he felt
outraged and disgraced, and that us n
preacher of the Gospel he felt it to be
his duty to tell them that unless they
mended their ways they would all be
damned.
Probably no sermon was ever
preached in the presence of public men
which was SO plain, direct, keen, cut

ting and effective. The average preach
er lacks vim and independence. Ger.
tainly in the presence of leading poll
ticians and statesmen many preachers
have shalSy knees. There is no doubt
of it. Right here in Washington some
so-called preachers never open their
mouths concerning wickedness which
should be rebuked. These congressman
were dumfounded when they were
thus depicted by the fearless blind
young preacher. The services were
concluded and the preacher went to his
stateroom. He realized that his SER
mon had been a terrific philippe, and
apprehended some manifestation of the
displeasure of the statesmen. While
pondering the matter, he reached the
conclusion that he had but done his
duty, and he would stand by his dec
larations, no matter what might be said
or done.
In the meantime the passengers were
discussing the sermon and raising a
collection. The contributions were lib
eral, and one of the passengers carried
to the preachers stateroom sum of
money such as he had never handled
before. That afternoon the congress-
men waited upon him and asked him
il he would permit the use of his name
as candidate for the position of chap
lain of the national house of repre-
sentntives. After giving the subject
