Conditions Abroad.

Washington, March 8.-Mr. Emory,
chief of the bureau of statistics, state
department, has summarized the condi-
tons prevailing in various foreign coun-
tries as reported by the United States
ministers and consuls. He states that
in the Argentine Republic there has
been a general advance in prices since
1886; that wages have shared in this ad-
vance. In China there has been an In
crease in silver prices of imports since
1866, but no change in prices of Chi
nese products. New avenues of en-
ployment have been opened in China
by reason of the increase in manufactur-
ing industries. A general advance in
prices is reported from Japan since 1886
and since 1892 wages in that country
have advanced. Russia shows an in
crease in prices of small articles since
1886, but no change in factory wages
and decrease in agricultural works.
Reports from other counties, such as
Peru, Portugal, Spain, Denmark and
Brazil, show mixed conditions, from
which no conclusions of a satisfactory
character can be deducted.

CLEVELAND'S LAST VETO
PigeOn-HO1es Some ImpOr-

Among Them is the One Opening the

Forestry Reservations and EApsr-
tant Appropriation Bills.

Salt Lake, March "A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: One
feature of the inaugural that Is
known to only few of those
Witnessing the scenes at the capitol and
the parade, was the fact that the new ad.
ministrstion will at once be confronted
with the necessity of passing FIVE of the
great appropriation bills which failed at
the last session of congress. Four of
them, namely, the agricultural, Indian,
naval and sundry civil bills, were peck
et-vetoed by the president. The def.
cheney bill failed in conference between
the two houses. With the failure of
the Indian bill to receive the presi-
dents signature, the Uncompahgre item
of course lapsed. The next congress
will be called upon to open the reserva-
ton and to execute the wish of the peo-
pie as twice voiced by the senators and
representatives.
The forestry reservation item also
failed, and also that directing the treas
ury department to complete the Pur-
chase of the site in Salt Lake, which
was introduced by Senator Brown. All
the items of interest to the west were
carried this year on the appropriation
bills which failed to receive the presi-
dents signature, as were also those pro
viding for river and harbor improve
ments. The work must all be done over
again at the approaching session.

CyiindricaI-shsped Light.

Washington Court House, o. March
o.-At o:3o this morning people at New
Martinsburg, this county, were greatly
terrified. They saw a cylindrical.
shaped light, resembling a huge ball,
about forty feetin diameter, from which
three columns of smoke were issuing,
rapidly passing through space, Produc-
ing a Matchmaking, half-issuing noise,
heard for miles. Suddenly the ball
burst, producing a terrific report, heard
for twenty miles distant and breaking
window lights of some of the houses.
When the meteor passed over the

knocked down and for some time was
unconscious. Shortly afterward, upon
going to his stable, he found one of his
horses dead in its stall with the side of
its head blown off Another horse in
an adjoining stall was made deaf by the
conclusion. Search is being made for
the meteoric stones.

Massacre of 1IussuImans.

Canea, March o-Major Dor, the Brit
ish officer who was recently appointed
to the command of the international
gendarmie, has refused to disband the
forces at the bidding of the international

abandon his post until ordered by the
sultan to do so.
The story of the massacre of Mussdl-
mans at Sitia will not down, though 1t
has been emphatically denied several
times. 1t was repeated again today with
the addition that the consuls at Herak-
lion had been convinced by witnesses
that 400 Moslems were killed In the viii

New York, March "a Sun special
from Washington says: President Nc

matter was settled and that he expected
Mr.. Sherman to announce the appoint

THE LEADvILLE sTIRE is OFF
Great Rejoicing Throughout the state
Eugene ", Debs Was Present.

Leadville, Colo, March o-The great
strike of the metallic miners of this
camp, which was inaugurated on June
Io last, was called off, unconditioaalIy,
at Especial meeting of the Miners union
tonight.
been much dissatisfaction among the
union men with the way the strike has
been conducted.
55Many members have Withdrawn, and
the funds of the union have been daily
growing smaller, owing to a lack of
support given the union by the dissatis-
fed element among Its members.
Eugene V. Debs was present at the
meeting tonight, and, addressing the
union, stated that It was his opinion that
there was little hoperof a satisfactory
adjustment of the differences existing
between the miners and the operators.
After long and spirited discussion of
the situation, 1t was finally decided by a
vote of LOO to 600 to declare the strike
off,
The strike has been waged bitterly
against the mine operators and riots
have occurred, in which several lives
have been lost.
To protect their property and their
non-union employees, the operators were
given the protection of the state MILL
tia and regiment of troops guarded the
vast mining interests of the camp dur
ing the greater part of the winter at an
expense of hundreds of thousands of
dollars TO the state.
The business men of Leadville have
suffered severely by the unsettled state
of affairs all these months, and when at
midnight tonight the news of the sudden
ending of the strike was spread rapidly
throughout the camp, there was great
rejoicing on all sides.
The action of the union tonight is, of
course, victory for the mine operators.
When seen at late hour tonight the
officers of the Miners union refused to
discuss the situation and seemed not
little chagrined at the unsatisfactory
ending of the great battle which they
have striven so hard to win.

of the French Opera company from
New Orleans to this city over the Sum

Sunday night at Casa Grande, station
twenty miles east of Maricopa, Ariz.
The only fatality was the killing of

Mrs. Peter Aiken of Nutley, N. J.
was made prisoner by her 3-year-old
boy in very singular manner recently.
She went down into the Ecellar OF her
home, and while there the boy crawled
over to the door and snapped the latch,
fastening her in the cellar. There was
no other way of exit, and for over an
hour she was imprisoned in the cellar
and nearly went mad for fear her baby
would do some serious mischief. Her
cries were finally heard by Herman
Thierfelder, proprietor of the Passaic

Russia,s VindIctiveness.

London, March o-The Chronicle

Athens saving that the kernel of the sit
uation is that Russia is pursuing Greece
with terrible vindictiveness that it is
impossible to explain. 1t is stated, how
ever, that Russia realizes that millions
of Greek Christians in the east yield re-
ligious allegiance only to the Greeks
patriarch at ConstantinopIe which is a
serious bar to Russia's plans. M. Mu'
ravieff, the Russian foreign minister, is
anxious 10 remove this bar by humiliat-
ing Greece eand destroying her inhu-

BILE, the coHvening of congress In extra

which, under ordinary circumstances
and in the absence OF public necessity
is not to be commended. But a failure
to convene the representatives of the
people In an extra session wheR 1t In
wolves neglect of a public duty, places
the responsibility of such neglect upoa
the executive himself. The condition
of the public treasury, as has been iadi-
Gated, demands the Immediate attention
of congress. 1t alone has power to pro-

to convene 1t under such circumstances

neglect of plain duty. Whatever &C
ton congress may take will be given
fair opportunity for trial before the peo-
pie are called to pass judgment upon 1t,
and this consider a great essential to
the rightful and lasting settlement to
the question. In view of these consid-
erstions, shall deem it my duty as
president to convene congress in extra
ordinary session on Monday, the 18th
day of March, 1897.

DEPRESSED BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
The responsibilities to the high trust
to which have been called, always of
grave importance, are augmented by
the prevailing business conditions, en-
failing idleness upon willing labor and
loss to useful enterprises. The coun-
try is suffering from industrial disturb
ances from which speedy relief must be
had. Our financial system needs some
revision. Our money Is all good now,
but its value must not further be
threatened 1t should not all be put on
an enduring basis, not subject to easy
attack, nor its stability to doubt or dis
pute. Our currency should continue
under the supervision of the govern
ment. The several forms of our paper
money offer, in my judgment, a con-
slant embarrassment to the government
and a safe balance in the treasury.
Therefore I believe it necessary to Ide-
wise system, without diminishing the

which will present a remedy for these
arrangements which, temporary in their
nature, might we'll in the years of our
prosperity, have been displaced BY
wiser provisions.
INTERNATIONAL BIMErALLISM.
The question of international bimetal-
ism will have early and earnest atten-
ton. It will be my constant endeavor
to secure it by cooperation with the
great commercial powers of the wor Id
Until that condition is realized when the
parity between our gold and silver mon
ey springs from 1t and is supported by
the relative value of the two metals, the
value of the silver already coined, and of
that which may hereafter be coined,
must be kept constantly at par with gold
nv every resource at our command.
The credit of the government, the in
tegrity Of its currency, and the inviola-
bilitv of its obligations must be Preserv-
ed. This was the commanding verdict
of the people and it shall not be I'M
needed.
ECONOMY NECESSARY
Economy is demanded in every branch
of the government at all times, but es-
pecially in periods like the present de-
pression of business and distress among
the people. The severest economy must
be observed in all public expenditures
and extravaganza stopped wherever it Is
found. and prevented wherever in the
future it may be developed. 1t the rev.
enues are to remain as now, the only re-
fthat can come must be from decreas-
ed expenditures But the present must
not be the permanent condition of the
government. It has been our uniform
practice to retire, not increase our out
standing obligations, and this policy
must be again resumed and vigorously
enforced. Between more loans and
more revenue there ought to be but one
opinion. We should have more reve-
nue., and that without delay, hindrance
or postponement.
HOW TO MAINTAIN THE CREDIT.
The best way for the government to
maintain its credit is to pay as 1t goes
not by resorting to loans, but by keep

CONCLUSION.

In conclusion, l congratulate the
country upon the fraternal spirit of the
people and the manifestation of good
will everywhere so apparent. The re-
cent election not only most fortunately
demonstrated the obliteration of section
al or geographical lines, but to some ex-
tent also the prejudices which for years
have distracted our councils and marred
our true greatness as nation. 1t will
be my constant aim to do nothing and
permit nothing to be done that will ar
rest or disturb this growing sentiment
of unity and cooperation, this revival of
esteem and utilization which now ami
mates so many thousands in both the
old and antagonistic sections, but shall
cheerfully do everything possible to
promote and increase it.

AGAINST TRUSTS.

The declaration of the party now re-
stored to power has been In the past OPP
posed to all combinations of capital or
ganized in trusts or otherwise to control
arbitrarily the condition of trade amoug
our citizens, and 1t has been supported
in such legislation as well as to prevent
the execution of all schemes to Cypress
the people by undue charges upon their
supplies or by unjust rates for the trans
portation of their products to market.
This purpose will be steadily pursued,
both by the enforcement of the law now
in existence and the recommendation
and support of such new statutes as NAV
be necessary to carry it into effect.
A FIRM FOREIGN POLICY.
1t will be our aim to pursue firm ar d
dignified foreign policy, which shall be
lust. impartial, ever watchful of our ma
tional honor and always insisting upon
the enforcement of the lawful rights of
American citizens everywhere. Our
diplomacy should seek nothing more
and accept nothing less than is due us.
We want no wars of conquest; we must
avoid the temptation of territorial ag-
erosion. War ahould never be entered
upon until every agency of peace has
failed; peace is preferable TO war in
most every contingency. Arbitration is
the true method of settlement of intern
al as we'll as local or individual differ
ence.

Ing out of debt-through an adequate
income secured by system of taxation.
external or internal, or both. 1t Is the
settled policy of the government, pur-
sued from the beginning and practiced
by all parties and administrations, to
raise the bulk of revenue from taxes up
on foreign products entering the United
States for sale and consumption; and
avoiding for the most part every form
of direct taxation, except In time of war.
The paramount duty of congress is to
stop deficiencies by the restoration of
that protective legislation which has al
ways been the frmest prop of tie treas
ury. The passage of such law or laws
would strengthen the credit of the gov
eminent both at home and abroad, and
go far toward stopping the drain upon
the gold reserve held for the redemp-
ton of our currency which has been
heavy and well nigh constant for sew
ersl years.
TARIFF REVISION.
In the revision of the tariff, especial
attention should be given to the re-en-
actment and extension of the reciprocity
principle of the law of 1890, under which
a great stimulus was given TO our for
eign trade in new and advantageous
markets, for our surplus agriculture
and manufactured products. The brief
trial given this legislation amply justi-
ies further experiment and additional
discretionary power in the making of
commercial treaties, the end in view al
ways to be the opening up of new mar
kets for the products of our country, by
granting concessions to the products of
other lands that we need and cannot
produce ourselves, and which do not in
volve any loss of labor to our own PEG
pie, but tend to increase their employ
ment. 1t will take time to restore the
prosperity of former years. If we can
not promptly attain it, we can resolutely
turn our faces in that direction and aid
its return by friendly legislation. How
