Honey Plentiful.

Scarce though we may find it in our
individual capacity, and as hard as it
is to get, there ia no room to doubt
that money is plenty, although the
calamity howlers are still nerviDs
themselves to shout the coptfary.
The best evidence of this is to be
found in tho rAcU that the savings
banks throughout the country have
30 much money on hand that they are
compelled TO reduce the rate of inter
est paid to depositors.
II this were the case only in isolated
localities the calamity croakers might
crawl out of the dilemma by claim
ing it to be the result Of local causes.
But this is not the case, as the same
disgustingly healthy condition of
affairs prevails in many leading cities
in different parts of the country. The
best evidence Of this healthy finan-
cial condition is, however, to be found
in the fact that Western banks find it
more profitable to lend their money
on commercial paper in the East
than to lend it at home, where tne
farmers, who have been borrowers
for 80 many years, now have money
in bank after paying their debts.
The financial heresies of the Bryan
wing OF the Democracy are not so
popular with the farmers with money
to lend as they were with the farmer
in debt. That the farmers OF Ne
braska, the state of Bryan, the great
apostle OF Accent dollars, are sharing
in the general prosperity is apparent
when the banks Of the state, without
any preconcerted action but by com
mon consent, find it necessary to re
duce interest rates one TO two per
cent, owing to the plethora of money
for investment.

ENGLAND AND GEKMANY


Make n Joint Display of Power at
Apia, samoa.
San Francisco, Dec. 15.-Considerable
excitement was created Nov. 10 by the
landing al Apia, Samoa, of a party
of blue jackets from the British and
German warships. While no serious
trouble is anticipated at present, the
representatives of the powers thought
wise to make a demonstration, owing
to the number of natives who have
cOngregated al Aulinu, so as to show
that the powers are determined to pro-
tect the white residents. The party
landed at Amtautal and marched
through the town, headed by the Ger
man Dand from the Buzzard, with the
Porpoise. After making display to the
natives both parties returned to their
respective ships.
The chiefs supporting Mataafa have
notified the chief justice that they have
elected Mataafa king of Samoa, and
that protest has been lodged by GER
tain other chiefs who dispute his cleo
ton. High Chief Tamasese has been
nominated for the vacant throne by tn.
opposing forces and the matter has
been referred to the chief justice for
decision. Upon that decision will de-
pend the selection of the new king of
Samoa.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.

Lower Uousr Refuses to Take Up the
Lodge Immigration BIZ.
Washington. Dec. 15-Thc house yes
terday for the second time during this
congress. refused to consider the Lodge
immigration bin. At the last session an
attempt was made to take it from the
speakers table, but it was defeated by
a large majority. Mr. Danford, of Ohio,
chairman of the immigration commit
tee, thought the bin would be stronger
after the elections were over, but yes
terday when he tried again to secure
consideration iae house declined, 100 to
lO5 to take it up An interesting, but
brief debate on the rules was precipi.
tated during the session by Mr.. Grow,
Of Pennsylvania, during which Mr..
Dearmond made a speech on the de-
cadence of the privilege of debate in the
house, and held Speaker Reed respon-
sible for the fact that the house had
had no authority to adopt a new sys-
TEN of rules at this session The
speaker replied with a sarcastic speech,
in which he referred to the complaints
of John Randolph in the early days of
the century to show that the same
remonstrances We're made then that
were being heard today.
The Nicaraguan canal bill held its
place as the principal subject before the
senate again yesterday. Speeches were
made by Messrs. Harris Money, Stew
art and Morgan. Mr.. Money urged the
postpunement of the question in order
to permit an opportunity for negotia-
tions with Great Britain for a modifica-
tion of the Clayton Bulwer treaty, and
Mr.. Morgan antagonized the PROPOSE
ton. An agreement was reached to
take a vote on the Turpie postponement
motion today. The governments pen
sion policy and the bill regarding the
registry of foreign built vessels wreck
ed on the American coast were also dis

MRS. BOTKlN'S TRIAL,
one ofthc Witnesses Positively IdeIl-
tify the Prisoner.

J one ofthe Witnesses Positively IdeIl-
tify the Prisoner.
San Francisco, Dec 15.--The trial of
Mrs. Cordclia Botkin is becoming more
interesting to that part Of the public
which takes an interest in such pro-
ceedings. Never has a murder trial Of
such import progressed so rapidly in "A
San Francisco court room. Witnesses
are subject to but slight cross exam
ination as a rule, and the attorneys on
both sides rarely protest against the
admission Of evidence
Thomas Price, the analytical chemist
of this city, who examined some of the
candy scnt to Mrs. Dunning, stated
that he received eight samples of the
candy sent from Chief of Police Lees
on Sept. % and that his analysis show
ed an aggregate amount of is grains
Of arsenic in the candy submitted to
him.
DIR. Wolf, the chemist from Dover,
Del, was recalled and asked if he had
ever heard of arsenic being used for
bleaching straw hats. He replied in
the negative. This question was asked
for the reason that Mrs BotlSin admit
ted shortly after her arrest that she
had purshased some arsenic for the
purpose mentioned.
Frank Gray. a pharmacist, furnished
important information regarding the
purchase of the arsenic by Mrs. Botltin
whom he knew slightly. Gray made
the entry on the poison book of the
store, indicating the use to which it
was to be subjected
David Green, a pharmacist, employed
in another store, failed to positively
identify Mrs. Botkin as the woman
who purshased some arsenic from him.
Miss Sylvia Henri a saleswoman for
George Haas d Sons, candy manufac-
turers and retailers, identified some of
the candy sent to Mrs Dunning as
being from the stock of her employers.
Miss Henri said hat the purchaser ap-
peared extremely nervous during the
whole transaction. Her identification
was not positive, but she qualified it
by saying that she believed that Mrs.
Botkin was the person to whom she
sold the candy.

members of the Schuylkill county
Bar, as mercantile appraiser is meet
ing with hearty approval on all sides
He is well equipped for the duties of
the position, and will give an intelli-

appointment of Mr. FIlbert is an evil
dence that the County Commissioners
are determined upon securing capable
men for the various positions under
their jurisdiction, which will redown
to the interests Of the taxpayers at
large. The present Board Of Com
missioners is undoubtedly the most
capable and painstaking that have
filled that position in many years.

KENNEY CONTRADICTED.
Tie was Not Addicks' Counsel, But

TIE Was Not Addlcks' Counsel. But
the Bay state Gas Company's.
Wilmington Del, Dec. 15.-In the
trial of Senator Kenney yesterday Dis
trict Attorney Vandegrift moved that
the government be permitted to reopen
is case for the admission of testimony
refuting the explanation given by Sen
ator Benney at the close of Tuesdays
session with respect to the voucher in
dicating that he had received $4,000 in
shares of Bay State Gas stock as part
payment for a years services as pri-
vate counsel to the company. Mr.. Ken
ney said the payment was made for
legal services rendered j. Edward Ad-
dicks in the matter of obtaining fol-
him a divorce. Judge Bradford grant
ed the application.
]. Frank Alice, a member of the eX
ecutive committee which approved the
voucher, was the only witness. He
said Mr.. Kenney was retained as pr-
vate counsel for the company, and that
the retainer was for services to be
rendered the company. The defense
drew from the witness that the exigen-
ces did not arise. and that Mr.. Kenney
never performed any services for the
company.
Immediately after recess Attorney
Biggs presented the prayers of the de-
fense. after which the District At
torney began his first speech to the
jury. He spoke for an hour and three
quarters, in which he made scathing
arraignment of Senator Kenney, whose
guilt, he said, was clearly proved by
the evidence presented by the gov
ernment. The defense, he continued,
had no hope except that they might en-
deavor to persuade the jury that dis
credit had been thrown upon the tes-
timony of the defaulting teller, Will
lam N. Boggs. The government show
ed by the testimony of j. Frank Alice
that Senator Kenney was private coun-
sci of the gas company, and swore
falsely when he testified to the con-

LAWYER SHIELDs, says the PhiIa-
delphia Star, is certainly one Of the
most resourceful lawyers in the pro
fession. His "certiorari' move in the
recent trial of Smith for bribery in
connection with the Schuylkill Valley
Water ordinance, was surprise, and
it secured the delay so much desired
which enabled him finally to obtain
the acquittal Of the accused. And
this same "certiorari' move in the
Quay case was equally AS much OF a
surprise to the public, and the delay
thus secured will apparently surely
accomplish two objects much desired
by the defense The elimination of
Mr. Graham from the management
of the prosecution, TO be succeeded
by Mr. Rothermel, and the postpone
ment OF the trial until after the eau
cus to nominate successor to Sena-
tor Quay. If the exigencies of the
case make further delay desirable,
we have not the slightest doubt OF
Mr. Shields ability to manage it.

THE COLLAPSED GAS TANK.
Four More Bodies Recovered, Making
tho Dcnth List SIX.

the Death List six.
New York. Dec 15.-Four more bodies
were found yesterday in the wreckage
nf the collapsed gas holder at Twentieth
street and Avenue A. This brings the
list Of dead up TO six, as follows: Plus
Baum, engineer in Fuldner's furniture
factory; John Gray, rs years old,
watchman at the gas works; August
Wenicke, 16 years Old, son of the con-
tractors foreman; Andrew Wendt, la
borer; Peter Conlln, laborer; George w.
Bremen, 25 years old, timekeeper for
the Logan iron works.
The tank that collapsed was 175 feet
in diameter. 100 feet in height, and the
iron supports over which the immense
cables ran were over 200 feet in height.
The lower tank, into which the upper
one fitted, was % feet in height, and
rested on mason work Of the nit This
Dit is $50 feet deep. The builders were
testing the strength of the tank with
water pressure. Immense pipes had
been pouring water into the lower tank
all day. The workmen were preparing
to leave the place when the mason
work Of the pit crumbled awaY like
clay
As to the cause OF the collapse of
the new gas holder nothing is knt'E'N,.
| The mass of girders. sheet iron, braces,
! etc, lies in a great mound as high as
| an ordinary three story house. The
| reason for the wreck win be known
| when this debris is cleared away The
! theory most commonly believed is that
the t,n6 burst because a settlement OF
the foundation on one side sent 5000 OO(
gallons of water surging with ire
sistible force against the northern side
of the structure. II is said that the
foundation on which the holder restet
stood on made ground, which would
be very likely to buckle under tire
mendous strain.

jillo. editor of El PrOvenier, and Senior

tributed its authorship to Senior Colono,
and sent the latter a challenge. Senior

cepted the challenge The duel was to
be fought yesterday on San Juan hill.
Both men were arrested and confined
