AS Elmer Jones and a woman, sup
posedly his wife. were about to board a
train at Holly on the 23d, stranger
stepped up and asked him what he
was doing with his wife. Jones de-
MED that she was any ones wife but

Mortgage Creditors Suffers Defeat.

The third mortgage creditors of the
late o. NJ. Barnes, who are scattered
all over Michigan, suffered defeat in
an opinion handed down by the SUI
preme court on the Goth. These credi-
tors recently foreclosed their mortgage
and bid in the property subject to the
first and second mortgages. The de-
positors of the defunct Central Michi-

for S50, s64 and the latter for $12, 500.
This was objected to as excessive by
the third mortgage creditors who APP

DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN NEWS
The Military Omcials of Canada are
Preparing for q Possible Raid on
That Country In the Spring by the
Fenians-Other Items.

Canadians Preparing for Fenian Invasion.
Ominous rumors are in circulation in
Toronto, Ont, regarding the likelihood
of a Fenian invasion of Canada in the
spring. A meeting of commanding Of
fcers of the Toronto garrison was held
on the 18th to make arrangements for
carrying out the war game settled
upon by Gen. Hutton some weeks ago.
1t is said the possibility of Fenian
raid was brought up and the statement
that positive evidence existed in high
quarters that a Fenian coup is con-
templated as soon as the weather will
permit of operations in the field. Cur
iously enough, the troops of the To-
ronto military district and other Sec
tions of Canada will assemble on the
frontier for ostensible tactical opera
tions just about the time when the
Fenians, according to the report, would
be making their attempt to cross. For
the purposes of the war game" every
available branch of the service in the
various military districts will be mo-
bilized, including cavalry, artillery and
infantry. The troops are to be equip
ped just as they would be if they were
entering the field for long campaign.
1t is said in influential quarters that il
the Fenian raid is intended it will not
find the government of Canada unpre-
pared.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

The Republican members OF the con-
ference committee on the financial bill
reached an agreement on the Sad. The,
Democratic conferees were called In
and stated their opposition to the
bill and without further formality the
bill was ordered reported. The text OF
the bill as agreed upon and as 1t prob
ably will become law, Is as follows:i
That the dollar, consisting OF % s-10I
grains of gold, 0-10 fine, as established
by section 351l, of the revised statutes
of the United States, shall be the
standard unit of value, and all forms
of money issued or coined by the United
States shall be maintained at parity
of value with this standard and 1t shall
be the duty of the secretary of the
treasury to maintain such parity; that
all u. S. notes and treasury notes is
sued under the act of July IA, 1890,
when presented to the treasury for re-
demption, shall be redeemed in gold
coin, and that it shall be the duty of
the secretary of the treasury to set
apart in the treasury a reserve fund OF
$50, 900, 900 In gold coin and bullion,
which fund shall be used for such re-
demption purposes only.
The Puerto Rican tariff bill now UNI
der discussion in the house provides for
the laying of duty of 25 per cent of
the duties provided by the Dingley law
on all imports into Puerto Rico. The
opponents of the measure contend that
Puerto Rico is part of the United
States, and as such, no tariff restric-
ton can be placed on the commerce be-
tween the mainland of the United
prohibiting the laying of tax on COM
merce between the states. The advo-
Gates of the measure contend that
Puerto Rico is not part of the United
States, but merely possession subject
to its jurisdiction. The issue therefore
is not so much whether there shall, or
shall not be tariff on Puerto Rican
imports, as it is a question whether
congress shall have the power under
the constitution to impose such tariff

respective states up to the amount of

The Republican members of the ways

now frantic in their fear that the house
will defeat the bill making Puerto Rico
dependency of the United States.
