gloomy outlook over the Crisis I'm
Exchange.

sIOUm VuAA1Na
Exchange.
ST.. LOUIS, Aug. IA special to the
Globe Democrat from Mexico City, Mex.
leo, says:
The continual fall in silver and the
corresponding rise in exchange have
reached the point when this country Is
brought face to face with what may be a
serious crisis. No sophistry can hide the
real condition Of affairs here. IL is all
very we'll to say that Mexico cen live
within herself and can raise on . silver
basis natural products that she can sell
abroad on q gold basis. This would be
perfectly satisfactory il there was such
an enormous increase OF wealth resulting
from such conditions that the country
could bear 3 high rate Of taxation, in
order that the Government might be able
10 meet its debt interest abroad by such
means without any extra strain. At
this moment Mexican bonds are unal-
tered in London, principally owing to
the scrupulous exactness under the most
distressing conditions with which the in
terest has been met. Theae debts are
in gold, and at this rate Of exchange that
interest is excessive, and is only q mat
ter OF time, unless there is q favorable
change in silver, when this republic will
be unable to stand it. Reputation has
an ugly sound, but something very much
like it must, under present conditions,
finally result. The great railroad corpo.
rations and other foreign companies here
have to meet q gold interest with a me-
dunn that is ever decreasing in value. 1t
does not matter, however great the bush
ness and the capacity for making money,
because the money earned is inadequate
to meet obligations abroad. There is only
one thing for them to do, increase their
earnings over one hundred fold or con.
slider that their foreign debt was con-
tracted in silver.
1t seems hard that the credit of this
Government. that is now so high, and
the excellent foreign investments here
should be injured through circumstances
over which they have no control. But
facts are facts, and ii will be interesting
to watch what will happen unless there
is a sharp rally in silver before long.
Merchants here are psralyzed, and all
orders from abroad have been counter
manded. The manager OF the Scotch
thread monopoly has raised prices on
thread rs per cent, and the French i'm
porters of dry goods have followed suit.
A prominent banker said that he be-
lieved exchange would 90 to $50 per cent
premium. He considered the outlook 10
be most serious for this country /; in fact
he considered il too gloomy to speculate
upon.

New York. Dec. 7-To-day's stock mar
ket displayed noteworthy strength
throughout the day and the demand was
broader and more widely diffused through
the list than has been the case in a long
time. The day was marked by hestancy
at the opening probaly induced by the
lower prices from London. and stocks
which developed the most aggressive
strength later showed small losses ~
the opening. There was scramble OF
competing orders in Sugar. which carried
the security up 3ss per cent. in the first
l., minutes of trading. IL dropped two
points almost as quickly on offerings TO
realize. The largest gains in the first hour
were all in the speciaities.
1t was not until afternoon that the
strength of the railroad list became as-
gressiye and general, the southern and
Southwestern roads being the most con-
spieuous and holding their gains most
fairly. Burlington advanced at one time
point but reacted a point before the
close, and the grangerS ana western
stocks did not compare faVorabiy IN
strength with the Southern region, which
to-day began to feel the influence OF the
remarkable showing of gains in gross
earnings for the fourth week III NoSem-
Der which have been reported during the
week by the roads i'm that region. Even
Northern Pacific does not respond read
a point net on the fourth week state
ment which shows an increase in earn
ings over the corresponding week last
year of 1856 no. which is only a shade
less than 100 per cent. The comparison,
however is with a week of not very
large earnings last year. Great Northern
for November showed an increase of
1896 1873.
The market was helped also by the div
idend declarations announced to-day and
those in prospect The street was full of
rumors regarding the dividend on Sugar,
but no authoritative announcement ac-
companed any of them. The action of

i large and aggressive operations of a ma

M'BR|DE IS ACQUITTED
Was No Evidence to Connect
Him With the Crime.
CAPTURED NEAR CHOTEAU
He Asserted That the North Dakota
Murder Was Committed by His
Partner : The Guilty Man
= s.., Cannot be Found.

Great Falls. Dec Tn May last
Sheriff Proctor received several letters
from a man in Teton county who claimed
to have seen a letter written by COW
boy to friend stating that his con-
science troubled him about a murder
that had been committed in Cascade
COUNTY and the body buried in a
manure pile. At first no attention was
paid to it, but the letters afterwards
said that the murder was committed
in Dakota. Sheriff Proctor not taking
much stock in the story, sent the let
tiers to the sheriff of Fargo n. D., and
strange to say, they arrived just two
days after the body of man had been
taken from manure pile near Cando.
The murdered man proved to be Will
lam Bryan. The Cando sheriff came
here and i'll June last, with Sheriff
Proctor, began a search for the man
who had written a confession. After a
long search he was located on
Floweree's ranch. in Teton county. He
admitted knowing of the crime. which
had been committed by a partner of
his, who had accompanied him to Mon
tana, but only remained a short time.
He gave his name as II. Mcbride and
was taken to Cando to stand trial for
the murder.
Sheriff Proctor to-day received adj
vices that at the present term of court
Mcbride was placed on trial and ac-
quilted, there being no evidence to con-
meet him with the crime. The officers
here have kept up long search for the
missing murderer. but it is believed
that, learning of his partners arrest,
he has gone TO some other part of the
country.

Civil Service Advanced.
Kansas City Star.

Kansas City Star.
In the amendments to the civil SER
vice rules promulgated by Presiden t
Mckinley there is not only q distinct
fulfillment of the party pledge
that no backward step will be taken
on that subject, but there is an i'm
piled rebuke to the spoilsmen in and
out of congress, who have been trying
to work the opposite result. that is
reassuring The amendment to Rule
second, which provides that there shall
be no removal from any position sub
ject to competitive examination, except
for just cause and upon written charges
filed with the head of the department
or other appointing officer, and of
which the accused shall have full
notice and an opportunity to make
defense, is a positive advance in the
right direction, and the other amend
ments are equally commendable.
Rule III will hereafter include With
in the classified list all custom house
offices. There was no reason in the
proper vision hitherto in force that Gus
om.houses where less than six men are
employed were exempt from the civil
service regulations. The spoils sys-
tenn is just as mischievous in small
establishment as in larger one, but
heretofore q number of them on the
New England coast and along the
Canadian border were permitted to
work it to their hearts content. But
this new order will lift the customs
service largely out of the mire of ma
chine politics and putt on the business
plane that it ought to occupy. The
politician will howlagainst this infring-
ment on their rights, but the Presi-
dent will be cordially supported by the
people in his purpose to elevate the
public service,
Nothing can be more certain than
that civil service reform is growing in
favor with the people and that it is
necessary as means of creating
higher standard of efficiency among
public officials and also as an agency
for correcting the evils Of the spoils
system. Mr. Mckinley has sustained,
for more than four months, steady
onslaught of office-seekers who have
taken up his time and worn out his
patience, and the instinct of self
preservation alone might we'll convert
him to the policy which his i.ustrious
predecessor found SO useful and con.
yenient.
