The London Markets

LONDON, April 4.-The indications OF
the money market point to extremely
easy conditions, and the release of the
dividend funds next week. There is
good demand for gold bars for Japan,
Australia and Russia. which is met by
moderate amounts reaching the open
market from Africa. 1t is expected that
even if the Bank of England does not re-
duce the rate next week the old banks
and discount houses will lower the al
lowances on deposits. The political un-
certainties in the Balkans keep specu-
lation on the stock exchange at vanish
ing points, but there is fair investment
business. Prices have been fairly well
maintained, though home railways have
lost ground, owing to the fears of labor
troubles on the Northeastern company's
line. Foreign securities show but little
change, except Argentines, which have
advanced five points in customs and
loans and from five to nine in other ma
tional loans on the announcement by
Argentina that the government Will re-
sumo the full rate of interest on the for
eign debt next July. There is, however,
much doubt here as to the propriety of
this step in the fact of falling revenue,
and the rumors- of new loan. Ameri-
cans were much depressed early in the
week by the TransmisspIri decision, and
fell sharply, but later recovered almost
fully on the theory that the troubles
created by the judgment would be over

TARIFF TAXES
To Be Followed by Higher Foreign
Duties

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The for
eign embassies and legations in Wash
ington are watching the progress of the
tariff bill with great interest, as it
vitality affects all commercial relations.
Reports are being forwardedito the vari-
Gus foreign offices and these in turn are
being made public abroad for the infor-
nation of concerns shipping goods to the
United States. Naturally the feeling
among the diplomats Is not favorable to
the measure as it will restrict many Of
the lines of foreign trade with This coun-
try. Among the representatives of the
larger countries the expression is gen.
eral that there will be a large increase in
imports and this In turn will be followed
by an increase Of duties against Ameri-
can goods The representatives of the
nations which are most concerned with
reciprocity do not regard the reciproc-
ity features Of the present bill with ia
vor. Without exception, however. mem
bers of the diptomatio corps are re-
framing from exerting any influence
toward keeping down the duties.

The crying need now Is capital for the
development of mines already known to
be good and the employment of men now
in the camp.
Lead has gone up and silver has
dropped in price. Mohave county, A.
T., produces both metals in large guam
titles and the miners of that section
hardly know whether to smile or frown
over the turn of affairs.
Ronald & Rowe of Prescott report an
exceedingly rich strike in the Monte
Cristo mine at Groom creek, A. IT. The
ledge has width of 1S to "a inches, is
full of native silver and carries four to
six ounces of gold per ton.
Prendergast, Kinucan e. Kelly, of San
Bernardino, have bonanza in the Little
Jack mine at Virginia Dale. Those mill
tests recently made ON ore taken from
the three-foot ledge in which they are
now working returned $500 gold per ton.
The big Stockton Hill tunnel in Mo-
have county, A. T., will be completed
about the first OF next January. 1t
will drain the rich mines of that camp
and permit them to produce several
thousand dollars worth of bullion per
month.
The Grand View company, operating
the old Santa Rosa mine near Perris,
Is in financial straits once more. Last
Saturday at Riverside sixteen suits for
mounts ranging from $50 to 5000 were
filed against the company for wages due
employees.
The boom must have struck Mohave
county, A. T.. in earnest. The King
man Miner says. A thousand carloads
of mining timbers, machinery and sup
plies have been received at Kingman
station since the 1st of January. This
looks very much like a boom.

MICHIGAN ELECTION
Not Very Important but Quite In.

DETROIT, Mich. April 4-The cleo
tions which will be held throughout
Michigan tomorrow will wind up a quiet
campaign so far as the state election is
concerned. The only state officers to be
chosen are one justice OF the supreme
court and two regents of the university
of Michigan. Justice w. Long. Repub-
lican candidate for justice, confidently
anticipates reelection, although George

Republican majorities Of last Novem-

pledged to follow out the Pingree ideas
Of reform. William c. Maybury. ex-
congressman and leading attorney. is
the Democratic standard bearer. He is
equally pledged to reform measures, but
is conservative compared with the more
picturesque methods of Pingree. Both

A Double Tragedy

HUMANSVILLE. Mo-. April 4.-What
is almost certain to result in double
tragedy occurred last night near Wam-
bleau, Hickory county. Mo. Sam Smith,
jr., young farmer, attacked his aged
stepmother, Mrs. Smith, with corn
knife. Her sister, Mrs. Cox, ran to her
assistance, and Smith hacked both wo
men on their heads, shoulders and arms
until they were unconscious. He then
went to the home of neighbor and re-
ported that he had killed them. Both
women are close to go years of age, and
neither can live. Smith was arrested and
taken to Hermitage. He is believed to
be insane. The immediate cause of the
truoble was the refusal of Mrs. Smith
to rent her farm to her stepson.

A FOOLISH CHILD
Thinking Herself Deserted, Suicides
by Arsenic

ny AIboulC
SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.-Seven-
teen-year-old Emma Griffiths is dying
at the receiving hospital from the effects
of dose of arsenic taken whe she
thought her sweetheart had deserted her.
She resides with her parents and aside
from the present affair has alweys been
a model daughter. Some months ago
she met and fell in love with James
Strice, then clerk in Smiths cash store.
Strice lost his position about three weeks
ago, and about the same time, It Is
said, his affection for Miss Grifhths be-
gan to cool On one or two occasions
the girl saw her erstwhile lover In COM
pany with another young lady. Today
Strice met Mise Griffiths by appoint
ment and together they went for long
walk. The young man told the girl he
was going to start for Los Angeles and
that she must give him up.
The girl purchased small quantity
of arsenic and after swallowing the polls
on went to meet her lover for the last
time. She found him at the appointed
place and as they walked the girl told
him of the fate OF young friend who
had taken poison because her lover had
deserted her. Her actions were SO
strange that young Strice became alarm
ed and pressed the girl for an explana-
tion. She then confessed that she had
taken poison.
Strice summoned help and caused the
young woman to be taken to the re-
ceiving hospital, where antidotes were
applied and everything possible was
done to counteract the effects of the pois-
on. The doctors say they have little hope
of her recovery.
