years ago when the general was exiled
 from his country. The property con-
 sists of large coffee plantation, a
 palace which he erected at his own
 expense, and number of dwellings,
 valued in all at about three-quarters
 of million, gold. Valuable assist.
 aDce was rendered him by prominent
 Mexicans and 1t is said that portion of the property, valued at a good substantial sum, will be returned to him by the Salvadorean government. This will enable the general to live in luxury and it is his intention to con- tinue to make the United States his permanent home. After his depart- ure from San Salvador the manage ment of his "tincar was turned over to British company and has yielded General Ezeta no profit.
 Mexican Herald: Mir. Landa, during the night while on his way to this this city in Pullman car from Gua- dalajara, was robbed of bank notes concealed in his coat pocket and va. rious objects from his vallse. The loss was not discovered until the fol- lowing day and upon the arrival of the train. in this city the victim procured the detention of the Pullman conduc- tor and colored porter. The latter deny the charges made against them and declare that every night the doors Of the Pullman cars are locked, thus rendering it impossible for passengers to enter from other parts of the train. lt IS quite certain that the Pullman is innccent of the grave cLarge made against him.

Prices and Standards.

Ever since been business we We made prices and stand

We have not done this arbitrarily and without regard to profits
the early part OF business when
keepers were doing the business badly and easy
higher standards and lower prices isn't easy now other
have learned the lesson
Our prices are lower mostly because of the large quantities

To be sure. 100000 voters went to

The newspaper reports not only were
the first to apprise him of his good
fortune, but they remain his sole
means of information on the subject.
In no other way Will Mr.. Mckinley
be notified that he has been chosen for
a second term in the Presidency. and
when he drives to the capitol on the
4th of next March for the purpose Of
taking the oath of Office, his only
knowledge of the election will be that

be ascertaincd and proclaimed accord
ing To the forms of law by the regu-
lariy appointed officers of the various
States. This is ample evidence of the
cEedibility of the press and OF the re-
lance of the public on the general YER

Now mark the contrast, There are

No tents, except that of Chief Com
missary ]. w. Golledge, have so far

IT seems from latest advices
that China has declared war on
Russia in the northern provinces
and that actual hostilities between
the two governments have already
commenced. With the imperial
forces engaged in open warfare
with one OF the powers the last
semblance of Chinese efforts to
suppress boxers will disappear.
The powers will have this work to
do alone.

1T is charged by the allies that
Iii Hung Chang has been aiding
the boxers and they have vowed
vengeance against him. This
charge was made very unexpected
in view OF the fact that his pro-
vince Of Canton is the only one in
which the boxer movement has
been promptly and sternly re-
pressed. The slightest evidence
oE discomfort among his subjects
has served to send the offender to
The block. Executions by his or
dess have been of almost daily oc-
curence in Canton since the pre-
sent uprising began and the charge
that he in boxer was a surprise
fo newspaper readers generally.
He has been looked upon as the
STRONG man Of the empire in this
crisis.
