MISS JESSIE SCHLEY
Issues a Characteristic Statement to the
American Press.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 19.-Miss Jes-
sic Schley, who went to Spain as a dele
gate of the Woman's International
League for Peace, in an effort to bring
the war to a close, issued a statement
to the American press today in which
she takes credit for influencing Spain to
sue for peace. She says:
Il was certain my country would act
honorably. so you may imagine my
modification and chagrin to find we
are trying to grab all we can. Follow
ing this letter, | shall have a storm of
abuse. | know, from the jingoes and A.
p. AS. who have already written me
SO many insulting letters, but I defy one
of them to show any II who has made
greater sacrifices to maintain the honor
of our grand country. 1t is necessary
for us to ourselves or it will be
too late to show the world what we
really are and tt defeat the schemes of
miserable jingoes. who are traitors to
our grand republic and seek to draw us
into further difficulties.
This is no time for party strife or
bitter religious feeling, il we would
save u country. Democrats and re-
publicans must act together. Possibly
it was fortunate the republicans won in
the last election for among them are
many honorable men who will maintain
our national honor. and the party which
began the war. in the name of humani-
ty. will be able to finish it, in the name
of humanity, and not disgrace us by
making terms too difficult for our con-
quered foe"

TRAIN ROBBER MEETS DEATH.
Messenger on the Santa Fe Kills ar
Unknown Man.

Barstow, Cal, Nov. 20.-The first sec
ton west-bound Santa Fe train No.
was stopped two miles west Of Daggett
early this morning by men seated on
/ the tender of the engine.
Engineer Bunnell was confronted by
two 45-caliber revolvers and ordered
to stop, but this order was counter
manded and the train proceeded for
| about a mile and was then brought to
a standstill at the command of the rob-
bers, who evidently expected to meet
pals at this point.
In this they We're not disappointed
and the robbers ordered Engineer Bun
nell to carry a 2O-pound bag of dyna-
mite to the express car. Messengers
Hutchinson and Blakely appeared at
guns.
The robbers fired at Blakeley, who,
locating them by the flash of their
guns, returned the fire. killing one rob-
Der. The dead mans left eye and all
that side of his head was o away.
The other robbers stampeded and made
their escape.
A posse is in pursuit and it is expect
ed that at least n OF them will be
captured. The dead man has not been
identified. 1t is thought that the men
were n~ovices at the train-robbing game.
They secured no booty.

A touching anecdote, associated with
a picture in the National gallery at Ed
inburgh, is told by an English lady in
her book, "Potpourri From a Surrey
Garden" She writes:
Several pictures stand out with pecul-
lar interest, especially the life sized
Gainsborough of the young Mrs. Ora.
hame. She sat for the picture as a
bride, but before it came home she was
dead, and her husband had gone to the
wars.
When he came back. he never had the
courage to open the case which con
tanned his young wife's portrait. On his
death, many long years after it was
painted, it was opened by his heirs,
and inside the case was the little white
slipper she had left with the painter t.
help him to finish his picture.
The portrait was given to the Edin.
burgh gallery. and the slipper was kept
by the family.

WILL END THIS WEEK.
Belief That the Discussion at Paris is
Nearly Over.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 20.-Presi-
dent Mckinley confidently expects that
the long discussion at Paris will end
during the week and that Spain will
cede the Philippines.
This belief, it is asserted, is based on
the knowledge that a fiat demand will
be made on the Spanish commissioners
who will be told in the ultimatum that
a reasonable sum of money must be
accepted and that otherwise hostilities
disputed territory. No more delays
will be permitted.

Geography is not only one OF the
most interesting studies, but Il of the
most important as well. 1t is not Of
value to the student alone, but to every
man Il wOman h wishes to keep
in touch with the happenings Of the
great world about them. The news
from distant parts of the earth, which
is brought % the breakfast table every
than Greek to the person who is I'M
familiar with geography. In fact the
stirring events Of the world compel
those who desire to have the correct
knowledge Of them TO be daily students
of this important branch Of education.
This truth is apparent to anyone who
has tried to follow the course Of our
war with Spain. Before Admiral Dew
ey's victory how many people knew the
location of Manila and the Philippine
islands? The Cape Verde islands,
where the Spanish ieet modified, and
the Dry Tortugas where our own fleet
collected, preparatory 10 the search
for Cervera and the bombardment OF
Santiago de Cuba. are now familiar
names.
During the past veal we have had in
teresting news from Alaska, Armenia,
Japan, China, India, Greece and Tur-
key. In these troublous times, a
knowledge of the geographical forma-
ton of the countries Of the globe, their
colonies, and the location of the chief
towns and rivers is indispensable to
one who would read his daily paper in
diligently.
Approaching the great usefulness of
accurate and clear maps in studying
the various phases Of the war. The Re-
publican has arranged with Rand, Nc
Nally & Co., Of Chicago, for the new
Standard Wal Atlas. The Atlas con-
tains sixteen pages of the latest and
best war maps published, comprising
four double-page maps (21x2S inches)
Of the World. North America, Europe
and Oceania, and seven full-page maps
14X21 inches) OF Cuba, the West In
dies, South America, China, Spain and
Portugal, Asia, Africa and the Philip
pine and Hawaiian islands. Enlarged
sections show ports Matanzas, Santi-
ago de Cuba, San Juan and Cientue-
Cos; also Cardenas and Santa Clara
bays. They are beautifully printed on
heavy map paper, and bound in an at
t~ractive paper cover.
This atlas should not be COMPOUNDED
with the numerous cheap aliases sold
at the stores. 1t is entirely new, and
can be obtained only from The Re-
publican or its regular agents.
Every reader is recommended to
procure n at once, and thus be able
to watch the strategic movements of
our army and navy from the vantage
point of knowledge.
The Atlas will be given FREQ with each
prepaid six months subscription to the
Daily Republican, or will be sold for
so cents per copy.

Speaking of til" lat" Lewis Carroll,
Lionel Tollemachc says: The follow
ing specimen was prop0undcd by him
in my presence: Suppose that / toss up
a coin on the condition that il | throw
heads once l am Ia receive one penny, if
twice in succession twopence, if thrice
%fourpence, and so on. doubling for each
successive toss, what j. the value of my
prospects? The amazing reply is that it
amounts to iniiui,y. for, as the profit
attached to each successful toss increases
in exact proportion as the chance of
success diminishcs, the value, so TO say,
of each toss will Je identical, being, in
fact, one-half penny, so that the value
of an infinite number of losses is an in
finite number Of ha%lfnence.
"Yet, in fact, would any one give me
sixpence for my prospect: This, con-
cluded Dodgson, shows how far our con-
duct is from being determined by logic.
1.-The only comment that l will offer
on this astounding paradox is that in
order to bring out his result we must
suppose a somewhat monotonous eter.
nifty to be consumed in the tossing proc

The scallop accomplishes !ocomotion
by a series of leaps. When it is alarmed,
or wishes to change its location, it
opens and energetically closes its
valves, thus expelling the water. The
reaction shoots it backward. By this
means the creature is abba to travel long
distances. Sometimes scaIlops make
considerable journeys in large COM
panies. One can scarcely imagine a
l~ovelier sight than that of a flock of
these pretty creatures, with shell of ev-
cry hue, from purple and white to black,
enlivened with shades of pink, yellow
and fawn, darting about in clear water.
In their fightlikc movements, vertical,
horizontal and zigzag, they are more
suggestive of n flock Of winged animals
than of bivalve mollusks.

THE TARIFF LAW
REVENUE PRODUCING QUALITIES
OF PRESENT MEASURE
SHOWN BY REPORT.
Receipts from Customs Slightly in EX-
cess of Amount Required From
That Source-Remainder Neces-
sary for Governments Support OBJ
tanned Within the Country.

Washington. Nov. 2O.-The discus
sion as to the revenue producing quail,
ties of the present tariff law lends es-
lecial interest to a series of tables just
issued by the treasury bureau of sta
~tistics. showing the receipts from var
ious sources by months during a long
term OF years.
An examination of these figures
shows that the customs receipts of the
treasury department now amount to
one-half of the ordinary expenditures
of the government, which is about the
usual proportion allotted to that branch
of the revenue producing service.
The ordinary expenditures of the
government, aside from those of the
postoffice department, which is practi-
cally self-sustaining. are usually calcu-
lated at about 81 ,0O0, 900 a day and aver
aged during the years 1894 to 1897
1860, 500 900 per annum. and at about
the same ratio in 1898, emitting the
Pacific railroad and extraordinary wal
expenditures.
The general plans of those charged
with the duty Of providing the revenues
for the government have contemplated
the production of one-half of the neces-
sary expenditures from customs and
the remaining half from internal reve-
II and miscellaneous sources, or, in
other words, half a million dollars a
day from customs and half a million
dollars a day from internal revenue and
miscellaneous.
The daily statement of receipts and
expenditures issued by the treasury de-
partment shows that Nov. II, the 140th
day Of the present fiscal year. the GUS
toms receipts had. during these lao
days. amounted to s73, $40, 429. OF this
sum a little more than 81, 00O, 900 was
from the duty placed upon tea by the
war revenue act, so that fully So, OOO,-
900 of the $~73,S40,429 received in these
14O days are the legitimate normal reve-
nues from the rates levied by the Gus
toms law enacted in July, 1897, or a
little more than the promised rate OF
half a million dollars a day from Gus
toms under that act.
The receipts from customs during the
last ten years have averaged SIS, 1879 900
per month. This ten year term includes
the operation of four tariff laws, and
it is therefore interesting to compare
the operations Of the new aw at its
various stages with this general aver
age during a ten years term, which in
cludes the operations Of four tariff acts.
As it was not expected chat the new
law would in its first few months oper-
ate normally in it's production Of Gus
toms owing to the excessive
importations just prior to its enact
ment, it is not improper to show, first
the average receipts during the first
four months of it's operation included
in the calendar year 1897, and also to
| consider separately the last four
months of its operation dating from the
beginning of the present fiscal year..
Receipts from customs. monthly av.

WILL REPUDIATE CUBAN DEBT
Spain. 1t Is Said. Is to So Notify
BOndholders.

Madrid. Nov. 20.-In political circles
it is asserted that an agreement has
been reached between the peace COM
missioners in Paris.
The government, it is semi-officially
announced, intends to notify the Cuban
b~ondholders that Spain will not pay
the Cuban debt, which will not be men
toned in the peace treaty. The gov
eminent considers itself completely
free from these entanglements which
will fall upon the nation exercising SOW
e~reignty and collecting taxes in Cuba.
