AT THE PARIS MORGUE.
How the Third Degree Is Worked on
Murde-ers in France

| 4 law shat has recently come into
I operation gives prisoners the right OF
communicating with counsel within
/ tWenty-fOur hours after their arreS-.
| One of the immediate consequences OF
this measure may be to put stop to
those "confrOntations'' at the mOrgue
which are 50 dramatic a feature of
French criminal procedure. With a
view to bringing a murderer to con-
fess, he is taken to the mOrgue, and
there brought face to face with the
body of his victim. Every aItif1ce Is
used to make the conformation as I'M
pres5ive as possible, as it is hoped that
the terrible sight he is compelled 20
gaze on will SO trouble the murderer
that he will lose command over him
self and make a clean breast Of his
crime in his agitation. When he en-
tiers the room he can see nothing, as
the stone bench on which the body IS
exposed is concealed by a. curtain. The
examining magistrate presses HIM
with questions, and then, at what he
considers the Opportdno moment, gives
the signal for the curtain to be pulled
back.
The murderers who have stood this
ordeal without f1inching are compare
lively few The majority of them eZ-
hiibit the utmost terror, and lmpdOre TO
be taken out Of sight Of the corpse.
There is "a chair in the room where
The confrontations take place, in which
the majority of the most notorious
murderers of the last thirty years have
been seated. Their names are insorib-
ed on its back, one of them being

that the examining ma gis-
trate has no legal right to subject a
prisoner to this ordeal. For the fUl-
ture they are going to advise their
clients to refuse to allow themselves TO
be taken to the morgue, and it seems
that It is a mocted paint whether the

DRIFT OF AFFAIRS
CONTINUED from First Page.)

in the foreign exchange market: so
it is uncertain whether the buying in
London was on foreign or American
account. European financial markets
were somewhat unsettled by the
TransvaaI and Dreyfus affairs; but
apart from these influences there is
nothing unfavorable to this market in
the foreign situation. AS we have
said previously, Berlin is a point that
will bear watching, but there are no
serious signs of danger there yet in
view.
Prosperous conditions continue
throughout the land, and the wave ad-
vances rather than racedes, with
bright prospects ahead. A larger num-
Der of working men are employed to-
day on terms satisfactory TO them
selves and their employers than ever
before in the national history. Dis
content is nowhere justifably to be
found. It is true grievances creep
out occasionally here and there, but
they are not of serious consequence.
The demand has fairly caught up to
the supply in everything. There is
little selling ahead. The business of
the country is on a legitimate basis
and devoid of boom, which is the best
evidence of its substantial and lasting
character Now that the crops are
assured ard the money scare has
passed over, the impetus to push bust
ness ahead can be relied upon for the
balance of this year at least, thereby
making it the best record year ever
experienced in business circles.
The present high range of prices
will naturally induce a good deal of
realizing hereafter on all the advances,
especially CT the stocks that are I'M
der manipulation. This of course will
produce frequent reactions in the en-
tire market. Such fluctuations, how
ever, will tend to keep the activity up,
which is a good feature rather than
otherwise For the coming week
advise quick turns to catch the fluct-
nations which will aggregate good
results for nimbIe traders.

SULPHUR IN ALASKA.

A discovery of immense deposits of
sulphur in Alaska is reported, An ac-
count of the discovery states: About
ten miles from Dutch harbor stands
the great volcanic mountain Makushin,
rising $500 feet above the Pacific to the
west and the Behring sea to the east,
and up where the rocks are still hot
and the steaming sulphurous smoke
r'Aes into boys is an inexhaustible de-
post of almost pure sulphur Hundreds
OF thousands of tons are in sight, and
this territory has been taken by the
Philadelphia Crude Ore company, and
in April next the work of developing
will be begun by the laying of tram
way down the mountain to the shores
of Captains Harbor, at a point about
three miles from Dutch Harbor. Iere
there is ample water and a safe haven
for loading ships.

CLARK'S COPPER WEALTH.

Herman Welisch has returned from
a trip through Arizona and reports that
the mining and other interests there
are prospecting. 81 was impressed
with conditions at Jerome, where Sen
ator Clark of Montana is operating the
United Verde copper Mines" said Mr..
Welisch. ''He has 1900 men on his pay
roll, and $115,0O0 is disbursed monthly
in the town. The annual output of the
United Verde is $16,O00,00O, and all the
expenses of working the great property
are paid by the gold and silver ex-
tracted from the ore. Senator Clark
is doing great deal for the mining in
terests of Arizona in general and Jer-
ONE in particular. He is naturally a
power there and is greatly appreciated
for the manner in which he is develop
ing the resources of the territory. Good
wages are paid to the men. Jerome is,
of course. supported entirely by the
mining industry and has population
of 3000."

Special dispatches from Bombay re-

has wrought havoc in the state of Neg

ings have been RACED. There were no
fatalities, but the loss of property was
immense.
The Paris papers continue to COM
ment upon the firing upon the French
steamer Cordova by the British war
ship Magicienne in South Africa wa
ters, but consider that judgment
should be reserved until all the circum-
stances are known.
The steamer Admiral Schley, from
Kingston, Jamaica, for Philadelphia
with fruit, Tuesday, was reported night
before last to have broken down, and
to be drifting off Port Morant The
Admiral Dewey was dispatched at mid
night to assist her and to tow her to
Port Antonio.
The Paris Gaulois says: 1--WE learn
on good authority that Prince Louis
Napoleon, who is colonel in the Rus
sian army, asked leave in order to vol
unteer for service in the Transvaal
army. Emperor Nicholas refused the
request because His Majesty wishes to
observe the strictest neutrality. The
Prince will leave Paris for Russia to-
day."

MURDER AT SEA. !.

80
ST. JOHN, N. B.--A murder at.,sea
on the schooner J. B. Van Dusen of
New York was made known by the re-
ceipt of a message from the vessels
mate to the owners agent in this city
1t stated that Captain Baisley of this
city had been stabbed by sailor
named Maxwell had afterward fallen
overheard and died in the hips boat
which had been put off to rescue him.
AS for the schooner it had disappeared
in the darkness under conditions
which made it seem that the murderer
and the steward, the only men left on
board, had gotten the schooner under
way and headed in toward the Nova
Scotia coast.
The schooner left this port lumber
laden for New York. The tragedy was
evidently enacted in the bay of Fundy
within few hours after clearing land.
Maxwell for several voyages sailed
with Captain Baisley as his mate. The
schooner was finally located at Beaver
harbor, where it had been landed un-
der charge of the cook, Frank Snowden..
Sailor Maxwell had fight about dark,
during which the captain had been
knocked overheard. The mate and an
other sailor Immediately took the boat
and rowed away in search of Captain
Baisley. Their boat, the cook said dis
appeared, and he took the wheel of the
schooner. Later it was learned that
the Van Dusen, whit he mate and
sailor, had arrived at Point Lepreaux
with the body Of Captain Baisley.
Maxwell is under guard.

ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
A Summary of Late Events That Are
Boiled Down to Suit our Busy
Readers

According to statement just issued,
the gross earnings of the Southern Pa
cific company for July, August and
September last aggregated $16,254, 534
an increase of $2,626,16 over the same
period of 1898. The operating expenses
were $9,798,628, an increase of 81, 427,-
1874. The net earnings were Sc, 455, COG,
an increase of 81, 198,575 over the same
period Of last year.
Another cut of So in the rate from
Seattle to Chicago made by brokers,
making the second class fare $50, seems
to have reached the bedrock in the de-
moralization thas has existed among
the Western transcontinental lines.
There is no more business to justify
further cutting, and it would, there
fore, seem that the end must be
reached in three or four days and the
tariff be restored to it's former level.
The growth of gold mining is not en-
tirely confined to California and Alas
ka. The Boise City assay Office shows
receipts of dust and bars for the first
ten days of this month amounting to
$3.50, as against $36,SS9 for similar
period. The total receipts of that Of
flee for nine months of this year exceed
those of the entire twelve months of
1898 by nearly 100000. Of course,
much of this comes through the work
ing by cyanide processes of old piles
of tailings that have been accumulat-
ing for more than thirty years on
Moore's creek and other streams, but
we are glad to hear of it for all that
Idaho is a good cash customer for the
citrus fruits of Southern California.
The Tacoma Ledger says that city
cannot yet afford fre-boat, and the
purchase of one, while it might be good
tor shipping in the harbor, would be
premature. 1t seems as if, OF all the
cities on this coast, Tacoma needs a
fire boat about the least, for she has
about two miles of railway track along
the water front, and locomtives under
steam at all hours of the day and
night. In the event of fire at any
of the docks, all they would have to do
would be to put the fire engine upon
flat-cars and haul them to the fire in
half the time they could get there with
horse power. A fire boat is a good
thing in any harbor, but Tacoma need
not be in any hurry about the pur-
chase of one. She is pretty well fixed
already.
