GEN. SHELBY DEAD.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 13-General
10. o. Shelby died at his country home
eight miles from Adrian, Mo-, at
o'clock this morning. The end came
peacefully. The patient had been
unconscious since early Monday morn
ing and had been slowly dying since
that time. - the consultation of
physicians last night it was given out
that death must come before morning
and the family have been constant
watchers at the bedside of the dying
General since that hour. General
Shelby was taken seriously i'll ten
days ago with pneumonia and grad
ually grew worse. His vitality was
great, however, and his friends and
family had hopes that he would over
come the disease. Arrangements for
the funeral have not yet been made,
but it is believed that General Shelby
will be buried in Kansas City, where
his family reside.

DOWN IN PORTO RICO.
AUTONOMISTS ARE NOT SATISFIED
WITH HOMB-RULE
As it is Granted Them, Anyway-Will
Probably Unite With the Spanish
Liberal Party to Alter
The Situation.

New York, Feb. 13.-A dispatch to
the Eerald from San Porto Rico says:
A commission appointed by the Au-
economist party to visit Spain and ad
vocate a better measure of home-rule
for Porto Rico has just returned to the
island from the peninsular.
The leading members Of the commits
sion expressed themselves as thor
oughly satisfied with the schemes
proposed by the Spanish premier, Sc
nor Canovas Del Castillo and with his
general policy as it effects the colonial
possession of the mother country.
While the Autonomist commission
recognizes the disintereStedneSS Of
Premier CanOvas, it will nevertheless
at an important AutonOmist meeting
to be held here tomorrow, propose
that the Autonomist party Of Porto
Rico form a collation. with the Liberal
party Of Spain under the leadership
of Sagasta.
This decision was the result of most
exhaustive deliberations of the MEM
bers OF the commission, ii is said.
The commission is satisfied that Sa-
gasta will treat Porto Rico with eX-
IRENE consideration, should he return
to power in Spain, and it is felt that
the Autonomist party would be in
harmony with the Liberals of the pc
ninsula.
Harmonious action might not be so
easily attainable should they tie
themselves to the Conservative ele-
ment notwithstanding the promises of
Canovas.
The commissioners say that undue
importance has been attached to the
determination of the AutOnOmists
not to put under the new reform law.
Severance Of political relations with
Spain was not desired, said the men,
bers OF the commission. The AutOn-
omists hoped for and sought to OBJ
tain hOme-rule but they would not en-
terrain for a moment a proposition to
resign their right to send delegates to
the Spanish COrtes.

BIG MINING DEAL.

Monterey, Mex, Feb. 13.-The most
important mining deal ever made in
this state was closed yesterday in the
consolidation of the Carbonite, Trini-
dad and Aztec silver and lead mines
and the sale Of the controlling interest
in the consolidated Aztec Mining COM
pany stock to syndicate Of local mil
Iionaires. The purchase price has not
been made public, but it is known that
il involves a large amount Of money.
The representative Of the heaviest
magnates of California spent some
week here, before and after the holi-
days endeavoring to secure control Of
these bonanza mines which cover 1900
acres of the best mineral bearing
ground on Mitre mountain, and it was
reported from New York offices that
the purchase would be effected. There
fore much surprise ensued in mining
circles when it became known that 10
cal capitalists had made the trade.
These mines were located early in
1895 by couple of American miners.

winds toward the top, until 1t is ex-
tended its full width over the hip and
out OF the back where it is partly con-
cealed under the full train. The right
side of the skirt is also slashed open
half way up, and under that is an en-
broidered petticoat of pearl.
The bodice is tight fitting and slight
ly pointed front and back. The low
er part is Of silver cloth and the up

The same beautiful lace that is used
in the fiOunce is fastened at the
waist line into a narrow point and is
draped wider towards the shoulders
in a V shape.

satin and from it is high collar
of lace.
The sleeves are long and fairly tight
and are finished at the wrist with
Vandyke effect, embroidered at the
edge, from which they fall from
narrow lace of the same design as
that on the skirt.

wear number Of diamonds to fasten
the lace on the front Of her gown.the

especially for the establishment in
which the gown was designed. 1t is
