greatest possibilities to good comod-
ity. lie says he is gratified to report
the fact that American coal has come

complete monopoly of that market un-
til last July, when an American com
pany (The Pocohontas Company es-
tabiished itself on the River Plata and
secured contracts to the amount of
100000. The consul says that three
large cargoes of American coal already
have arrived and been eagerly taken,

coal has come TO stay in these mar
kets."

STANDARD OIL BOOKS
Believed to Have Been Burned to Avoid
Showing Them in Court.

Cleveland, Ohio, December 21.-De-
yelopments Of a most sensational ma
ture IN the Standard Oil investigation
came TO ngnC to-day when Attorney
General Monnett began taking deposit
tons for the purpose OF proving that
the Standard Oil Company. just pTeyi-
Gus to the issuance of the order by the
Supreme Court that the books OF the
company be produced in evidence. had
destroyed a large number OF its books.
The most important witness produced
was John Darmstetter, rabbi Of Bo-
hemian church.
Rabbi Darmstetter testified that one
evening three or four weeks ago he
went into the saloon OF r. II. Pollock
TO csc Pollock, who is an official Of his
church. Darmstetter said that one Of
the men in the saloon was quite hilar-
icus and was asked: Why are you
fellows doing so much treating?" Two
of the men then engaged in a converse
ton and flashing a roll Of bills, said
they had got some good stun working
over time. One of them. who was a
teamster, said that he and another
teamster had loaded up a lot Of books
at the Euclid avenue Office OF the Stand
ard Oil Company and had taken them
TO the company's furnaces, where they
were burned.
Edward O'Hearn, Standard Oil
teamster, testified that on the Satur-
Gay before Thanksgiving he was Or
Gered to go TO the Office Of the COM
pany on Euclid avenue, and carry soma
boxes from there 10 the company'S
warehouse on Independence street. He
said he got the boxes, sixteen in num-
for, and delivered them as ordered lie
said he did not know the names Of
the employees who turned the boxes
over to him, nor those who received
them at the warehouse. In dimensions
they were about two feet long and Is
inches broad. He declared that he
did not know what was in them and
denied having made the declaration In
saloon that they contained account
books
His brother, Cornelius OHearn, was
very much agitated and his testimony
did not add anything TO the informa-
ton already obtained.

petition.

Columbus, o.. December 21.-New
tariffs on coal from the Ohio field
went into effect to-day as a result OF
the action OF the Hooking Valley in
reducing rates to meet the competition
of the West Virginia field. The rate
to Columbus is cut from seventy TO
fifty cents per ton, the Michigan rate
from $1.15 to 95c, and Chicago & Hi

IOWA DEMOCRATS.

DIES MONIES. Iowa, December 81
About fifty of the leading members of the
Silver Democratic party of Iowa held a
conference in this city to-day. Briefly
summed up. the declarations acceptable
to a majority Of those in conference were
as follows:
The party is opposed to fusion with
any other party.
THE party is unanimously in favor of
bimetallsm, but the question of ratio will
not be given prominence. The Chicago
platform may be endorsed but there
should be no repetition Of the words
'16 to L.
The greenbacks should not be retired.
The placing of the national currency in
the hands of priv p corporations or ma
tional banks is bitterly opposed.
The formation of trusts is condemned.
1.-The policy of Imperialism, or of expan-
sion and the annexation of Cuba and
Porto Rico is inadvisable.
The standing army must not be in
creased as contemplated in the Hull bill.
The present army is sufficient for all the
needs of the government"

IN The WURkHOUSE
The Marchioness of Donegal Will Eat Her
Christmas Dinner.

ne OF DOHegdl w Ill Eat iteF
Christmas Dinner.
London December 21-The March,
oness of Donegal will eat her Christ
mas dinner in London workhouse.
Ill, miserably clad and apparently in
acute restitution, she applied yesterday
for admittance to the Great Northern
hospital, from which place she was re-
moved to the Islington workhouse in
Urinary. She explained that she was
homeless and not willing to communi-
cate with her wealthy friends, or with
her husband, who Is suffering from
pneumonia.
The story of the life Of the Marchio-
ness is painful. She left her husband
in 1873, and in 1889 instituted separa-
ton proceedings, with which counter
charges of misconduct were made.
Unsavory details of their conjugal
life were also banded about. The
Marchoiness failed to obtain alimony
and has since received assistance from
her friends. She was last heard of in
May of the present year, when she
broke her leg in a hotel elevator and
was taken to a hospital.
The Marquis has had troubled fin
ancial career. He was declared a
bankrupt in 1889 with liabilities esti-
mated at 9518,S15. He then said he
considered he was justified in raising
half a million of money, in view of the
fact that he had prospects of succeed
ing to an estate of 100000 year. But
owing to the entail he only succeeded
to $50 a year. He was mixed up in
financial fotation this year, when he
lent his name to a company prospectus
which caused the Star to criticise him
as peer with record of disgracing
the order to which he belonged"

New York, December 21.-Clark
Howell, member of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee from Georgia, and edi-
tor of the Atlanta Constitution, after
consulting with the leaders of both of
the political parties at Washington,
telegraphed as follows to his paper to-
night:
with the adjournment of congress
for the holidays the final decision on
the peace treaty is as clear as 1t will
be after a vote has been taknn in the
Senate Two weeks ago tfse matter
was in doubt-to-day it is cestain that
the treaty will be ratified as It will be
that it has after the vote has been
taken.
"Mr Bryan has conferred freely with
the Democratic leaders in both the
House and Senate. He had advised
ratification of the treaty and he Is out
spoken in the opinion that aside from
the question of national obligation 1t is
a matter of party policy for the Demo-
Gratis to throw no obstacle IL the way
of ratification.
1t must not be understood that the
ratification of the treaty will carry
with 1t the assumption chat: all those
who vote affirmatively are IN favor OF
national expansion across tie Pacific.
Of the senators who will vote in favor
of the treaty there will be Republicans
as we'll as Democrats who are opposed
in principle as we'll as in theory to the
trans-oceanic expansion of our nation
al domain.
Mr.. Howell then says that after the
treaty has been finally disposed of a
resolution will be introduced making
declaration of the proposed policy Of
this government in dealing with the
Philippines. and that this resolution
will be framed very much on the basis
of the Cuban declaration coincident
with the declaration of the war. IN
which it was declared that the policy
of this government would be to give
the people of Cuba free and indie
pendent government of their own.
Mr. Howell says:
at is the determination to present
a resolution of this kind as rallylng
point for the expansion and ant-eX-
pansion elements, both Democrats and
Republicans, that takes from the con-
sideration of the peace treaty such
doubt as might have existed as to the
outcome, and which now makes its
ratification a foregone conclusion"
Mr.. Howell further says that 1.-The
vote on this proposed resolution will
not be confined by any means to party
lines, and the outcome is in doubt. A
large majority of the Democrats will
vote in favor of it and large number
of the Republicans will vote against it,
but the size of either minority is suffi-
GENTLY involved in doubt as to render
exceedingly questionable the final
action that will be taken on the reso-
luton"
Mir. Howell's summary concludes as fol-
lows:
AS the result of the final encounter
over the resolution it may be that the
country will witness the spectacle of
badly severed party lines and that out Of
it may be furnished the battle cries
around which will be formed the lines
of the next presidential fight"
