The announcement of Lord George
Hamilton, Secretary of State for india
in the House of Commons that the
Government would make no further
efforts to secure an international BIZ
metallic agreement, but would consent
to the appointment of commission to
consider ways and means OF lntroduc'
ing the gold standard in India, has two
results: 1t marks the end OF the long
fight for himetallism in Great Britain,
and It sounds the death kneu OF the
schemes for reopening the Indian
minis to the free coinage Of silver.
Whatever may be the future Of BIZ
metallism in the United States and
France, it has no future at all in Great
Britain, nor is it probable that the
French Government, now that the
British position has been so explicitly
defined, will ever take steps to reopen
the question of an international bilne-
taIic agreement. What has operated
to defeat free silver in England will
operate, though less rapidly, to defeat
it in France; and the remnant Of Eng
Ish bi-metallists admit that the Gov
ernment's action will SO REINFORCE the
gold standard party in the United
States that the free silverites viii find
it more than ever difficult to make
Roadway there.-London dispatch.

Unmasking Customs Frauds.


Indicative Of the earnestness of the
Treasury Department in it's determina
ton to put an end to the unjust discrim-
ination against honest importers and
manufacturers, fostered by the under
valuation of imported merchandise, is
the action of Assistant Secretary How
ell in officially defining and emphasiz-
ing the powers vested in local United
States appraising officers. In a circular
letter addressed to such government of
ficers, the Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury calls attention to the proyis-
ions Of section 80 Of the act of July q,
1897, which among other things amends
section II Of the customs administra-
tive act of June 10, 1890.
This law as now modified, the Assist
ant Secretary explains makes 1t law
full for United States appraising officers
in determining the dutiable value of
merchandise subject to an ad yalorem
duty, or to a duty based in whole Or in
part on value, ito take into considera-
ton the wholesale price at which such
Or similar merchandise is sold or Of
1CISO 1Ci SdlC Ill ILLS COuAlly, uuC Ill
lowance being made for estimated du-
ties thereon, the cost OF transportation,
insurance and other necessary expenses
from the place Of shipment to the
United States, and a reasonable COM
mission, if any has been paid, not ex-
ceeding 6 per cent"
To this recital OF the provisions of the
law Mr.. Howell adds the injunction
that it is expected that appraising Of
ficers will avail themselves Of the au-
thority given them by this section
whenever it may be necessary to arrive
at a proper market value, and especial
~ in cases where evidence is required
in regard to market value which is not
furnished, and which cannot be OBJ
tanned by the ordinary means
This proclamation from the Treasury
Department is timely, and will have the
effect Of warning offending importers
as well as of terrifying the local aD-
praisers at the port Of New York in his
work Of extracting from unwilling and
eyasiye witnesses the actual facts about
suspicious importations.
This work Of obtaining proof of In
territorial undervaluations of merchan-
disc manufactured abroad and brought
into the markets of this country is, by
the way, going steadily forward.

Il judge" said Sellars, as he pulled
wreath of smoke aloft, that it would be
a difficult matter to find anyone guilty OF
an uncertain crime. First there is lack
ing a knowledge of the fact that crime
has been committed There is nothing
tangible in this case. Doctor Strong be-
Uevcs that crime has been committed
that is not evidence. It appears to me
that it would be utterly impossible to es-
tablish the fact that Andrew Kellogg was
fouIy dealt with-if so, it would certainly
be foolish act on your part to endeavor
10 brand anyone with the infamy of muir
der; not only would you make ridiculous
failure but you would be liable to heavy
damages
True, Selars, true!' exclaimed Amos.
'But then, there has been no crime com
mitted. Why, there was, on the part OF
Mrs. Kellogg and her son, no object for
the commission OF crime. My brother
was greatly attached to his wife, nor was
she less attached to him. Be assured,
doctor, thai YOU have not been reniss in
any duty. Again l say there has been no
crime committed. Not for half am
worth would l have Elinor made acqualnt-
ed with your suspicious. | fully appre-
eiate your motives and concern, and now
say no more about it. Let the matter
drop. Forget that such an unfortunate
idea ever entered your head
THAT is my advice Also said the detec-
tive, unless you are prepared to estab-
ish the fact that Andrew kellogg's death
was caused by the administration Of poi
son."
II believe it! l am satisfied of it! But
/ am utterly unable to demonstrate the
fact. 1 feel that [ have performed a
tardy duty, and from henceforth my lips
shall be sealed on the subject"
SIT is WE'LL" said Amos gravely.
''Let us go, Sellars," said the doctor, ris-
ing to his feet. 81, at least, have unbur-
dened my mind"
First another toddy," said Amos.
Five minutes later the physician and de-
tectiye passed out into the street. Three
blocks away their paths diverged.
THAT ends the matter, Sellars,' said
fhe doctor. But nevertheless Andrew
Kellogg died from the effects Of a slow
but sure poison. He was murdered, and
in my opinion we have not heard the last
ST Eiinor Kellogg"

Money of the Country.

The stock Of gold coined or issued in
the United States was $705, 424,O37 on
March /, 1888, compared with $685.
G72, 900 March /, 1897. The number of
standard silver dollars the last March
was 459, 1OO,347, which is 11,7S1 ,956
in excess Of the number coined q year
earlier. This means that three and a
half millions more of standard silver
dollars were coined during the year
which ended Feb. IS, 1898, than during
the whole period previous to the ''crime
Of 1873" During the same year the
volume Of treasury notes issued under
the act Of 1890 to purchase silver bull
ion was reduced $12,SS1 eco. Those
notes have been Cancelled and silver
dollars have taken their place i'll the
money of the country. March 1, 1897,

There passed away in Massachusetts
one day recently a man who was at
one time the firm friend of such men as
Webster, Douglas, Lincoln, who pre-
sided at the famous convention Of 1860
which nominated the martyred Presi-
dent; who was called to Washington in
the time of the cOuntry's greatest need;
whose opinions We're sought by men Of
influence in whatever crisis faced them.
George Ashmun was one Of the most
modest Of men. When he was chosen
to preside over the convention of 1850
he consented only on condition that
Governor Trask would accompany him.
He and Mr.. Trask both went to Spring
field with the committee to notify Mr.
Lincoln and it was shortly after that
that he received from the President a
letter that became famous and which
said: 1T seems as if the question
whether my first name is Abraham or
Abram will never be settled; it is Abra-
ham. and if the letter of acceptance is
not yet in print, if you think fit, have
my sigma ture thereto printed Abraham
Lincoln Daniel Webster once wrote
to him: whenever anything good
comes into this house we always think
OF Mr.. Ashmun. a fish came up the
Potomac last evening higher than is
usual for his species to venture. VIII
you be so kind as to join Mr.. - and
myself at 5 o'clock to-day to taste him!

4 SycCisnHn London Fog

We have had some fine fogs-if one
may call them so-this winter, but no
champion fogs, not to be beaten except
by one another, such as we had in town
ten years ago. They were SO thick thu t
one literally could not see ones hand. I
remember being asked by an old friend
and nelghbOr to make one of q dinner
party one night, because thirteen people
would be there and his wife was super
stitiOUs. When | reached his house,
with some difficulty, though it was but
ten doors away, l found nobody there
but our host and hostess. One couple
dropped in an hour late, and begged for
beds rather than venture home again.
This was a common occurrence Some
folks | know were dining in Russell
square that night, and, after taking
leave, drove three times around the
square, and had to return to their host S
for shelter for the night. No one who
has not experienced it can have any
Lotion of the 'thick darkness that is
produced by a London fog; it is q palpa-
bic night. 1t offered Oh one occasion ~
example Of human selfshness which
believe to be unparalleled; friend Of
mine was walking with a companion
behind an old couple who had Ian
tern; it was of great assistance to them,
till they heard a female voice inGi:s-
nant1y exclain, Charles, hide the Ian
tern, there are some people behind US
actually making use of our light"
Whereupon all was darkness.
It was curious that i'll what was call
ed the great fog Of 1888, when all gu
rope thought the end of the world had
come, London was by no means the
chief sufferer. It was not a winter fog
at all, but dry fog. 1t appeared first
at Copenhagen on May 20, reached
DIXON ON June "A, Italy on the 10th, and
thence to Stockholm and Moscow

that awaited him in his fathers institu.

that awaited him in his fathers institu-
ton.
The father thought it best not to coerce
the young man. He argued that if wild
oats must be sown, it were better to have
them sown before Robert entered the
bank
Chicago of that day was not the pala-
tial city it has since become, but a goodly
town Of some sixty thousand inhabitants.
It's packing houses were not the mann
moth structures of to-day The elevators
were but piglnies compared with the tow
ering ones that now loom up on every
hand. It's Board of Tradc-well, a rent
ed down town hall, with free lunch and
barroom attachment.
This was the place where Robert had
been dealing in futures-a place his faith
er had heard and read of, yet never enter
ed, though he had foreseen that ultimate
ly it would grow into gigantic proportions.
AS we have stated, the contrast between
Robert Kellogg and Earl was marked.
Earl was very nearly Of Roberts height,
but less compactly built. He was, as has
bene indicated, of dark complexion,
black hair, mustache and eyes and small
hands and feet. He was much quicker
than Robert in his movements and Of a
very different temperament.
Robert was impulsive and on the i'm
pulse of the moment would commit an act
Of which he would afterwards repent.
Earl made 10 moves without considera-
tion-he must reason the matter out be-
fore acting.
Roberts companions could influence
him against his better judgment. But
one person in the world could influence
Earl, and that enc was his mother.
How safe should that young man be
who could only be influenced by loving
mother!
In that his hair and eyes were black,
his hands and feet small, his temperament
cool and calculating, Earl resembled his
mother, there the resemblance ceased; for
he neither had the madam's clear and lily
white, complexion, nor did his features
in any way resemble hers. Indeed, as the
young man passed from the house, Laura
had remarked to her sister:
"What a charming young man Earl is;
but he certainly bears little resemblance
to his mother, save in his hair and eyes"
- presume" said Janette, ''he more
resembles his father"

At this moment Julia entered the room.
Miss Laura" she said, ''de missus say
she ready to receive her sister-in-law if
you will company her to her room. She
say for you to come, too, Miss Janette.
She amt seed you dis mornin'."
Il had no thought that mamma was
awake, julia" said Janette. LET us go
at once"
"Bless yo' soul! You nanny had her
breakfus long ago.
The widow and the two girls left the
parlor and passed upstairs.
Julia stood in the hall and watched
them until they had disappeared, after
which, with a shake of her head, she re-
marked, as she started for the kitchen:
Il clare to goodness, dat wilder has
captured de whole business
