The Santa Fe is having some trouble
to preserve the pretty park laid out
with 80 much expense between the de.
pot and Main Street. Many people are
given to plucking flowers therefrom,
out a few have even gone farther and
stolen plants. One party was caught
few nights ago and hereafter the
park will be closely watched. To make
such pretty ornament to the city, +
place of depreciation seems almost like
sacrilege.

ALICE D. MOFFETT.

New York-The beautiful American
who committed suicide in Geneva
Switzerland, and whose identity remain
ed mystery for two weeks, has been
identified as Alice D. Moffett, an artist
and student Of vocal music from Phila-
delphia. She was known in Philadel-
phia society as "Mlss Moneybags." Her
wealth came to her through romantic
channel. Her grandfather and the late
Charles O. Creede, the bonanza king
went together in the early sos as pros
pectors and partners, each promising to
divide whatever he found with the
other. Greed found millions. Motfett
came back penniless and died in Phila-
dslphia in 1874.
Greed remembered his promise. He
hunted out the granddaughter of his
old partner and settled large fortune
upon her. Thereafter every chapter in
the history of the girl made rich as
by fairy's wand was crowded with ex
citement and sensation to the tragic end
In Geneva.
She arrived in Paris with maid and
AN elaborate wardrobe. She speedily
took prominent part in the life OF the
American colony. Then she attracted
the attention OF all Paris. Hhe appear
ed for two nights as Mile. Firefy in a
spectacular performance at the Folies
Begere in Paris, and was only induced
to discontinue her connection after sew
eral appeals from friends, who assured
her that she was running her reputation.
One story told of her life in the Latin
quarter alleges that on an occasion OF
the students ball she emulated Bettina
Gerard, and suitors for her favor drank
deeply to her health from her dainty
satin slipper.

ing through three months OF topic

Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, Lib
eral member for Sterling, asked Mr.
Balfour, the leader of the House o
Commons, for the latest information
regarding the progress OF negotiations
in the Transvaal. He was referred to
Mr.. Chamberlain and the latter asked
for time on the ground that the present
situation is acute.
There are now 10000 troops in South
Africa. The official estimate for the
Boer males of 16 years and upward, plus
one third Of those under 16, is only &c..
O3S. Thus there is an English soldier
for every Boer, man and boy able to
carry gu1 in the Trausvaal. The Tory
and Liberal press are clearly divided on
the question Of the concessions offered
by President Kruger.

THE WEEK in TRADE
BUSINESS WORLD AS SEEN BY
DUN & co.
This Agency Reports that Increase
in All Lines of Legitimate BUSH
ncss Continucs-Other Items Of
Interest.
Dun's Weekly Review.


II. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: There is still increase in all
legitimate business and the productive
power of great industries increases, even
though some of their stocks decline. The
sharp reaction in speculation a week ago
in no way affected the producing capacity
of furnaces or mills, and has been in part
recovered, while the disturbance of BUSH
ness caused by the formation Of great COM
binations has in large measure ceased.
In spite of some strikes because wages
were not raised as much as hands expected,
the cotton industry has a very good de-
mand and most of the mills are working
satisfactorily. Wooden mills have begun
to buy wool more largely, though at prices
much of their own making, but there is
improving demand for goods. Wheat adj
vanced about half a cent, %accounts of in
jury discovered since April 1 supplement-
ing the Government report. Were the
worst of the stories true there is yet spring
wheat seeding to make up for deficiencies,
though the season is getting rather late.
Failures for the week have been 1888 in the
United States, against 254 last year, and %
in Canada, against 18 last year.

URGES REFORMS FOR CHINA
Fugitive Rang Would Do Great
Things in His Native Country.


Kang Yu Wei, a fugitive Chinese states
man, has arrived at Vancouver from Vic
toria, accompanied by a retinue of Chinese
and Japanese sympathizers. Kang will
proceed to London, which place he expects
to make his home until at least a part of
the reforms advocated by himself have
been brought to pass in China. He said:
SIT is only a matter of time before China
will have to put into operation these re-
forms which l say she needs, or else inter-
nal dissensions or possibly foreign agrees
sion will result in the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
the EMPIRE"
The reforms which Kang is anxious to
establish for his native country are: Rep
resentative party government, ii system OF
national banks, state ownership of mines
and railroads, free education. bothelemen-
tary and advanced, and including the es-
tabliShment of technical schools and gov
eminent Summaries for military and naval
training. He also thinks that the silver
basis of the Chinese monetary system has
been the means of impoverishing the Elm
pire to the advantage of countries that
trade with her, selling for gold and buy
ing for silver.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs has an
nounced in the German Reichstag that an
agreement has been arrived at with Great
Britain in regard to the commission to
Samoa. DIR. Lehr, contrary to agreement,
made strong reference to economic
matters in arguing against the
American and British attitude in
Samoa, limiting that Germany would
fight both countries economically if
thwarted politically. The party leaders,
n after another, r%epudiated DIR. Lehr's
declarations. The speech of the minister
of foreign affairs also fell fiat, md was
hardly applauded at the end. In SUBJ
stance the Interpolation which was signed
by a majority of the center, r%eichspartie,
Conservatives and National Liberals,
asked the Government for information
on recent events in Samoa, and also re-
Quested information regarding the meas
ures taken or to be taken by the Govern
ment under the circumstances. The For
eign Minister, in his reply, emphasized
Germany's adherence TO the Samoan act,
the Encouragement of which he declared,
was desirable to the Government.

Gen. Lawton has continued his adj

slowly retiring, hut except for brief stands
by skirmishers, are doing little fighting.
Gen. Lawton had a narrow escape from
death at the hands of a daring Filipino.
The man remained behind when his COM,
panions fed and concealed himself in a
house by which the American soldiers
passed. When Gen. Lawton and his staff,
reached the spot the rebel fred point
blank at the American commander. For
tunately his aim was bad and he missed
his mark. The American soldiers quickly
rooted him out Of the house and bored,
him full of holes. The Filipinos lost 150s
killed and wounded in the fight at Santa
Cr1.

and abandoned the town Of Santa Maria.
where a thousand rebels were reported to,
have been concentrated. The enemy re-
treated toward the mountains, burning
the villages behind the retreating force.
Occasionally a few of the rebels d.opped
to the rear and 6red ut the advancing
American troops from the jungle, appar-
emily with the idea that this would chccx
our advance and cover the retreat of the
Flipinos. BU finding these tactics inef-
fectual, these rebels scrambled after the.
main body.

and since that wal is the one for which
