woLcoTT NEGOTIATIONS.
McKinley's Message VIII Give It
Brief Reference.

Washington, Dec. 4.-President Nc
Kinley, in his forthcoming message to
congress, will not discuss in a signiff-
cant way the recent monetary negotia-
lions of the Wolcott commission, but
will refer to it only in a casual way.
The chief interest in the financial part
of his message will attach to a recon-
mendation that gold shall be paid only
for greenbacls, and that greenbacls
shall be paid only for gold. The presi
dent does not believe that congress win
retire the notes, and it is his opinion
that there is surplus of receipts over
expenditures and an exchange of gold
and notes. there is no longer any me-
mace to the country. He does not con-
template the retirement of treasury
notes. but only a change of classical
lions for the reason that if retired
there would always be a talk of con-
traction of the currency, and he does
believe that if gold and greenbacks are
made interchangeable and kept in a
class by themselves no danger need be
apprehended from that source.

per, of the United States land court,
who returned today from Hermosillo
and vicinity, tells story that viii dis
hearten all the seekers. after wealth in
this new Eldorado. He says hundreds
of miners who have spent the last few
weeks along the Yaqui river are now
struggling to get out and return to the
United States. The reports of gold dis
coyeries there have been greatly eX-
agserated. People who rushed in
seemed to think that q, scoop and a
gunny sack was all that was necessary
to secure fortune, but, said F'lipper,
While gold has been known to exist
along the Yaqui river for many years,
1t is by no means a poor mans mecca
If it can be saved at all, it must be
done only by the use of expensive by
draulic operations; hence the disap-
pofntment of the hundreds who have
lately gone in there. Most of the re-
turning prospectors are expected to
winter in the gold camps of New
Mexico and Arizona.

MUST PAY FOR CATTLE.
Colorado Settlers Have Claim
Against the Utes.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 3.-The Indians
that participated in the recent troubles
in the western part of the state are
very likely to set into trouble with the
federal authorities over the killing of
stock belonging to the ranchers resid-
ing in and around Rio Blanco county.
According to their own statements the
Indians killed stock belonging to the
ranchers. for the purpose Of procuring
hides for tanning. II the authorities
can ascertain TO whom these cattle
belong. and can prove which Indians
killed them. the latter viii have to re-
inburse the settlers. In such cases it
is the custom of the federal authorities
10 withhold from the Indians guilty of
sAch depredations their allowance until
the value of the cattle killed has been
covered.

patriots on both sides of the frontier
and are apparently prepared to run all
] risks to keep the hated CZechS in sub
! lection. The CZechs make no secret of
the fact that their final aim is to abol-
ish the dual empire and to make it a
triple empire by placing Bohemia on
equal footing with Austria and Hun
gary. To grant these demands would
set Hungary on fire and destroy the
foundations of the present imperial
system. 1t looks as though the en-
ployment of force is the only solution
of the question; but against which fac
ton will it be used?
The question of the provisional Auz-
glich bill Cor agreement to prolong for
year instead of ten years, the COM
pact between Austria and Hungary,
pending arrangements for a longer
compact), is, if possible, a question
more grave than the threatened civil
wa-.
HUNGARIAN COMPACT.
The Hungarian diet has given Baron
Austrian premier, until Monday next
in which to state whether he can rea-
Sonably expect the Auzglich bill to
pass, and, failing a decisive answer,
Baron Banffy, the Hungarian premier,
will introduce OH Monday a bill where
by Hungary Will act Independently as
regards the duties to be levied, con-
tinuance of commercial relations with
Austria, and the charter of the Austro-
Hungarian bank. This compact be-
tween the two portions of the dual state
thus. lapses, and though the status quo
may be maintained temporarily, Hun
gary will establish her claim to the
right Of Independently disposing of
these questions. 1t is easy to see that
victory will only whet the appetite of
the Hungarians, and that it will be
short step to the dissolution of Austria,
which, in turn, will hurl Europe into
furnace of terrible possibilities.
THE ONLY ESCAPE.
Apparently the only hope of escape
is that the personal ascendancy of, the
old emperor will once again enable him
to solve ar apparently impossible sit
uation. Failing in this, the reichsrath
will be dissolved and a, reign of abso-
lutism will begin in Austria and, tech
nically, Hungary will have resumed her
independence the first step toward
federated. as distinguished from dual,
Austro- Hungarian monarchy.

Rheumatic Attacks Occur on the
Slightest Exposure.
London, Dec. A dispatch from
Rome to the Pail Mall Gazette, pub
lished this afternoon, says that the
pope has not been enjoying his usual
health lately. DR.. Lapponi. the pope's
physician, has been obliged to adopt
special precautions against the weather
and has increased the number of baths
which his holiness has been taking,
from one a week to three. This. it is
explained, is the only way by which the
doctor can counterfeit the rheumatic
symptoms of the pope, which, accord
ing to dispatches recur on the slightest
exposure.
DR.. Lapponi, it is added has for
hidden mis- holiness to take part in any
firing function, and, therefore, the pro-
gramme mapped out for the ceremonies
which We're to have taken place on the
sixth anniversary of the celebration Of
the first mass of Leo XIII, has been
abandoned.

STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
It was strange coincidence that al
most Immediately following the de-
parture of the president, the mother
should suffer a relapse While yet in
his own county and within half an
hour after he left the city, the illness
of the mother took a turn for the
worse, and it was thought by the fam
lily that she had suffered second
stroke of paralysis, and such announce
ment was made. The attending physi-
clan, however, declared it was not a
second assault OF the disease, but a
relapse, which for a time threatened
to extinguish the Misunderstanding
flame of life.
RALLIED SLIGHTLY.
Once more. however, the rugged con-
stitution of the aged woman Withstood
the assault She rallied slightly and
ere long was back to the condition in
which she had been for nearly 20 hours,
a condition of quiet and seemingly
restful sleep, but which, it was fully
realized, was slowly burning out the
vital spark of life
In that condition she was tonight.
How long she might continue, no one
could tell. 1t was not thought impos-
Sible that she could linger until the
president could discharge the impor-
tant duties which called him to Wash
ington. The attending physician again
announced tonight that the patient
cannot regain consciousness.
PRESIDENTS DEPARTURE.
The president left Canton at 2:05
O'clock this afternoon in q special car
Shortly before the departure he held a
conference with the doctor, who as
sured the president that no act of a
loving son or any other mortal could
do anything for the aged mother, and
that she would never again be able to
recognize him or to realize his presence
or absence. His last words to the
family were that he be telegraphed at
every station along the route as to the
mothers condition.
WILL RETURN TO CANTON.
The president has definitely arranged
to return to Canton Tuesday morning,
leaving Washington on Monday as soon
as he has completed his duties Mrs.
Mckinley win accompany him; so also
will Mrs. Abner Mckinley and her
daughter, Miss Mabel of New York
The near friends of the family are
nearly all at the homestead, including
the surviving children, several grand
children and Mrs. Mabel Osborn, Mrs
McKinley's sister, and mother of Will
liam Mckinley Osborn, consul general
to England.

n MARROW ESCAPE.
Scruggs Played IL Joke on His Dor
and Got tho Worst OF it.

There is 81 clorlt in tho war dopart-
mont 1T Washington with a keen senso
OF hnmor,. who, for tho purpose of
identification, [ will call Daniel
Webster Scruggs. Ho is what people
call "a funny man." He spends about
half the time he should devote to his
Official duties thinking up conundrums,
puns, practical jokes and other dis
agreeable things. When his fellow
clerks find mucilago in their ink bottles
ana crooked pins in their chairs they
always bless Scruggs, but he has been
warned by the chief Of his division so
many times that he is loss humorous
IN the oi1ico nowadays than he used to
ne But st home, with his wife and
SIX children, thcro is no ono to re-
strain him, and the ncighbors are
good'natured. Mrs. Scruggs is O.
patient, long-suIering woman, and
says she's SO used TO it" that she
doesn't mind him any more" She is
nursing Scruggs just now with q devo-
tiOn that shows her genuine affection
for the man who has been q perpetual
torment during seventeen years of
married life. For Scruggs is a victim
Of his own humOr.
ABOUT Il week ago Scruggs conceived
the idea OF shaving Off his abundant
"hlskers, and one evening aftor Office
hours, without saying word about
his intention, left them on the floor of
q barber shop. When he got home he
thought he would have somo fun with
the children. SO he turned his coat
and hat inside out, let himself into tho
hallway OF his residence with u latch
key, and, hunching up his shoulders
IKE tough, made some queer noises.
The children rushed out OF the sitting
room, followed by their dog, which IS
about as big as flour barrel, and
stopped with alarm as they saw what
they supposed to bo tramp. But the
dog was not at all frightened. Ho
sprung at the stranger with an eloquent
grow, and in an instant he and Scruggs
were rolling over and over on the hall
| lloor The children screamed, and
their mother came hurrying from tho
kitchen. Scruggs shouted and coaxed
and sworc, but tho dog didn't see tho
Joke, and didn't recognize his voice,
and Mrs. Scruggs, and tho oldest boy
were long time separating the COM
| batants.
They sent for the doctor, who eau.
Icrizcd the wounds and bound them up
carefully. He says that Scruggs had
a narrow escape, and will not be ablo

The clerks in the Office say that it was
good enough for him.
