has a bigger suake story than

is: Mrs. John Waters had
thirty canaries that she was
raising for sale. All at once
they began to disappear. They
did the disappearing act at

snakes were roosting up in the

Tariff LEGISLATION.

The internal struggle in the
Republican party over the
tariff in the next Congress
promises to be both amusing,
instructive and disgusting.
There are already three factions
which will try to control legls-
lation on that line The first
is the one that will stick bv
McKinley's last speech. The
second favors abandonment of
the extreme Dingley duties on
most things and would resort
to reciprocity. And the third
proposes to attack the Dingley
duties directly. There has
been no change in conditions
therefore from a Republican
standpoint and theory tina t
they have always taught, there
is no cause for a revision. It
is strictly a smoothe dodge to
steal Democratic thunder as
they have done more than once
before.

After a careful inquiry it has
been found that the average
haul of the American farmer in
getting his produce to market
or to the nearest shipping S ia
ton in twelve miles, and the
average cost of hauling over
the common country roads is
% cents per ton per mile, or So
per ton for a twelve mile haul.
An estimate places the total
tons hauled at 300,O 900 per
year. On the estimate of So
per ton for twelve miles this
would make the total cost of
getting the surplus products of
the farm to the local market or
to the railroad no less than
5000, 900, 900, a figure greater
than the operating expenses of

Several Arrests Followed the
 Greeks Disclosure
ORGANIZED BAND IN NEW YORK
Man Did Not Know the Name of the American He Was to Murder, But Says He Came Over for
 That Purpose.

New York, January 2O-Elias Masuras a Greek, the complainant in assault case which was before City Judge Kellogg of Yonkers, N. Y, today, told a startling tale of plot of Greek anarchists to kill prom- nent Americans, and would have told more had the court not stopped him and turned him over to the police that they might quiet ly investigate the case Several arrests have already been mad and more are plan ned.
 On the stand Masuras said that in Greece he had been a member of an anarchist so- ciety. Some time ago it fell to his lot to kill public man in the United States and he was ordered to come to this country and place himself under the orders of the Amer iean branch of the society. He never heard the name of the man whom he was to mur- der, and understood that, as in other cases, the man who was to be his victim, was to be selected after his arrival in this coun- try.
 After his arrival Masuras went to Yonk CTS and affiliated with a branch of the or ganization there as well as one in New York. Finally he became frightened, with drew and refused to carry out the mission entrusted to him. From the time he left the organization he claims he was annoyed and threatened by members of the society. He remained firm in his determination not to obey the orders, however. and yHSt2f-- ds4 six of the men came here and begged him to return. When he still refused, one of the six-which one he could not say attempted to stab him. The blow was aimed too high, however. Masuras was apparently willing to tell more about the society, but Judge Kellogg adjourned the hearing and committed the prisoner to jail pending further examination.
 Masuras was examined by the police and as result Joseph and James Kiptaukas and Frank Hestaigus were arrested One other Yonkers man and two New Workers are named on other warrants and the po- lice are searching for them The police sert that they believe the story told by Masuras, and they say that the affair has led to the discovery of an anarchist band of dangerous character.

 ROBBED OF $500. Paid the Money for Return of
 His Son THE BOY FAILED ID APPEAR Brother of the Abducted Student Waited in Vain INSTRUCTIONS MINUTELY OBEYED Money Was Put in a Sack of Potatoes and Delivered to a Negro in Compliance With the Kid

INSTRUCTIONS MINUTELY OBEYED

Atlanta, Ga, January 20.-Mr. N. H. Fraser of Union Springs, Ala, whose son Bass was kidnapped several weeks ago. has apparently lost $500 by decoy letter sent him.
 MT. Fraser received a letter stating that if he would place $500 in gold, the amount he offered for his son, in a sack with a peck of potatoes and proceed along the road near the United States Federal prison, several miles from this city, he would be met by a negro, who would ask, "Massa, has you got dem potatoes?'
 He was to deliver the sack and its con- tents to the negro and his son would ap- pear at a hotel in this city looking for his father, at an early hour Sunday morn- ing.
 The letter was signed Packard" mailed in Atlanta, dated Jan. 16, and the instruc- tions were minute and specific. Threats of exposure and failure to carry out the Instructions were frequently made in it. MT. Fraser's son, a brother of the kidnapped boy, carried out the plan of the letter, met the negro as arranged, gave him the money and potatoes Saturday night. This morn ing he went to the hotel mentioned and has remained there all day, but Bass Fraser has not appeared and no trace of him or the persons who received the $500 can be found.

 Similar testimony to Emperor Williams touching action finds place in almost all the editorials.
 The Standard says. "If the Queen were aware of the German Emperors arrival, the circumstance could hardly fail to bring some satisfaction to her mind. It is a con- solation. in this hour of national distress, to listen to the universal chorus of respect ful esteem which Her Majestys illness has evoked abroad. In the United States the progress of the patient has been watched as anxiously as in London and the bitterest critics of England have only words. of re- spect for England's Queen"
 The Morning Post says: "Out of the most reyerent and profound respect for our sovereign, we must stand silent for the sorrow which holds us. The love and admi- ration of her subjects are, unhappily, of no avail Nothing In these dark days when sorrow is heavy on us, will have sweet an effect on the Queens subjects throughout the world as the arrival of En- peror Williams'

 and beloved existence hovers at last upon the brink of the great mystery. A life of lives is dropping toward the Valley of the Shadow, and the empire awaits in it's si- lence and its sorrow.
 But beyond the empire are the unex- ampled sympathy. concern and wonderful homage of mankind. Emperor William, above all. has expressed this wonderful feeling, not in word, but in act, with a truth and fervor of natural affection which England will never forget. It is one of the saddest circumstances of the hour that Empress Frederick is not able to be pres- ent. Therefore Emperor Williams pres ence Is doubly dutiful, and at Osborne House 1t will be doubly dear"

 For the American people the character and domestic example of the Queen have been conservation of the Anglo-Saxon ideal. They have been regarded as hardly less the possession of the United States than ourselves, and they have gone far to restore the moral unity of the race and to heal the worst effects of its political sepa- ratiOn,'
