THE BODY OF MILLION
ARE LADD RECOVERED.
TWO MEN UNDER ARREST.
one Makes Confession duplicating
Two Other Men, Who Are Yet at
Large-The Body Was Buried
on the Farm of One of the
Men Under Arrest-Clus
Leading to Arrest.

PORTLAND. Ore, May a4.-The body
OF the late millionaire banker, w. s.
Ladd, which was stolen from the grave
last Monday night, has been recovered
and Daniel G. Magone. a middle-aged
farmer living near Oregon City, and
Charles Montgomery, young man,
who also lives near Oregon City, are
under arrest.
Montgomery made a confession inn
plicating Magone and two other men,
who are yet at large, and then took
the officers to the spot where the body
was buried. This was on Magone's
farm, mile and half below Oregon
City on the Willamette river. The
body was found practically in the
same condition in which it was when
removed from the grave.
The principal clue leading to the ar
rest of the men and the recovery of
the body was a drawing knife with
which the case was opened and which
was left near the grave. A blacksmith
made the knife, and when it was
shown to him by the detectives recog-
nized it as one he had made for Ma.
gone some time before.

interim. The Liberals of the Senate
have decided to attend no more ses-
sions of the Senate until full satisfac-
ton has been accorded to Senator CO.
mas and the Liberal party by the Duke

The exciting incident which culmi-
mated in free fight was provoked by
the statement of the Duke of Tetuan
that Senior Sagastais speech the other
day to the Liberals had contributed to
bring about the vote in the American
Senate.
General Luis Pando said: "The
thing now happening is due to the
cowardice and feebleness of the gov
eminent"
Senator Comas said: "You will dis
cuss that tomorrow
1--WE will discuss it," replied the
Duke of Tetuan, but 1 will accept
dictation from nobody"

Comas. at the top of his voice.
At this point the Duke of Tetuan.

of Senator Comas and felled him to the
floor. The son of Comas threw him
self upon the duke and struck him a
heavy blow with his fist Several
senators intervened and a general
scuffie ensued. with great confusion.
and it was some time before order was
restored
The Duke of Tetuan rendered his
resignation Immediately after the in
cident. 1t is believed that he mis-.
understood the reply of Senator Comas,
as he is regarded as an extremely
courteous and honorable man
Senator Comas is professor in the
University of Madrid and is held in
high esteem in scholastic and political
circles.
After a deliberation with the sec
onds of the two men, il was decided
that under the code duello a duel was
unnecessary as the aggressions were
reciprocal.

for it would be impossible to coin 4 coal
dollar or wheat dollar. The dollar
must be paper dollar (as most dollars
In actual use Are.) and the value of
this dollar should be determined from
time to time, say monthly, quarterly,
annually, or whatever occasion might
arise, by Government commission on
the basis of the multiple standard
above mentioned. In this way all in
duStrious producers of our leading and
necessary products would be protected
against any abnormal fall in prices,
for any such fall would immediately be
met by a new average; and purchasers
would be protected against any alb
normal rise in prices, for any such rise
would Immediately be met by . new
average.
1t is easy to see that under . regime
like this any doctor who has an indus
trious clientele would also have a pros
porous clientele. Then we would not
receive letters from doctors saying that
their people arc industrious and pro-
duce bountifully, but the prices are 30
ow that they can scarcely get money
enough even to pay their taxes. Stim.
ulated by just monetary system as
above indicated, there would be no
reason for the present widespread idle
ness, want and misery. A normal dol
lar will bring normal rewards to In.
dustry. The gold standard dollar is
an abnormal dollar; hence our abnor-
NAL conditions. A dollar based on
gold and silver would be nearer nor
NAL than the gold standard dollar, but
1T would still be abnormal. The null
tiple standard dollar would be a nor
NAL dollar, aud it would give US nor
NAL conditions.
The normal dollar, based on the
multiple standard, is engaging some
of the most advanced students of eco.
nomics. What is said above is merely
suggestive. The details are yet to be
worked out. There can be no doubt
that the real solution of the money
question lies in this direction.-C. F. T.

Dun Sees UnmistakabIe Evidence of
Improvement
New YORK, May 24.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
"Unmistakable evidence of improve
ment comes in the general increase
of commercial loans, mostly for
Eastern merchants or companies,
though some well known houses
in the middle West appear with
considerable rediscounts from the
South. Not for a long time have COM
mercial loans been fully half the whole.
The distinct change gives proof that
new business has been larger than
many have supposed. Receipts of
money from the interior exceed ship
ments 81, 500, 600, mostly from the
Middle West Exports of gold have
no influence and only signify the will
ingness of Russia to pay price for
the gold needed"
