produced. It must be put Tn the hands of the police without delay.
 No sooner has the passport been disposed of than another boy appears with a paper, which must be filled out. It seems that the minute personal description in the passport and its certification of citizenship are not enough. The police must have more particulars. On the paper are blanks opposite the following questions, ln Russian, German, French and Eng fish: Your Christian name, your age, your profession, where have you ar- rived from? what is your religion? where is your passport now? At the end is a. place to sign the name At the top is inscribed ITO be filed with the police"
 Perhaps it may seem expedient to change from one hotel to another. The passport is handed back just be- fore departure, with an added inscrp- ton, an official seal and some revenue stamps On the bill is an item, any, where from 40 kopecs to rouble, to cover the expense of this additional vise This is paid with disgust, mixed d the requirements have at last been met. that you are registered with the police, and that your passport can have rest at last, and so, With 1t In your pocket, you drive to your new abiding place.
 When you are again followed to your room an awful suspicion of what Is to come crosses your mind and, you are somewhat prepared when the word passport is again uttered. You give it up with resignation; there is an- other wise, inscription and stamp, and another 50 or 90 kopecs, according to the caprice of the hotel clerk. And this passport demon follows you all through Russia; you cannot escape from it, and your paper is covered with inscriptions and stamps, and your pockets are emptied of kopecs and roubles. If vain delusion fingers in your mind that least you will have no trouble in going away from the empire, you are harshly undeceived at the frontier, for, if your precious document does not contain a special permission written across the back for you to leave Russian soil it is more easy to scale the Himalayas that cross the invisible frontier. You will detained till the omission is made up. You may be arrested,

changed hands for G1,200, about @ couple of years ago. But this trade, like many another, is largely an heredi- tary one, most of the best rounds hav- ing been in the hands of the same fam lilies during three or four generations. The huge buildings let out into flats, and now so common, have increased the monetary value of cats meat rounds to wonderful extent. One sim gle building of this kind is reckoned to be worth G200 year clear to himself by the ''purveyor" who has the sole right of supply, and though this in an exceptional case, other great blocks of flats are approximately valuable. Ger tain public buildings, like the govern ment ones in Whitehall, have a high value when round comes into the market.
 It must always be recollected that, although most of the purveyors buy daily in one great central market yet are the varieties and qualities of meat they acquire almost as much diversified as In the case of meat for human be- ings, and the West End cats meat pro- wider obtains prices that would be ab-
 
 ladom. But, in regard to the latter class, there is a Dulwicl1 cats meat man who is property owner on very extensive scale; and another South Lon don dealer, who still does his own buy ing and delivering, has given uni versity education to certain of his sons, one of whom is clergyman.
 Those of the public who may imag- inc that there Is no room for initiative and ingenuity in the cats meat trade are vastly mistaken. In Kensington an entertaining young fellow is said to be making a fortune through the hap py idea of supplying on request, fish instead of meat for the cats on his round. The pets of the prosperous can obtain meat at almost any time, and they will not look, for the most part, at the wares of the cats meat man. But no cat can resist @ tasty bit of fish, be 1t offered when it may, and a huge success is the result of the inno- vation. Again, there are certain pur- veyors who take trouble to obtain a close knowledge of every single animal on their rounds and it's little peculiari- ties. This knowledge once gained, the cats meat man buys and cuts his DOT tions accordingly, taking care that each cats gets it's favorite bit. All chance of rivalry is removed at once by this means for a cat will not for weeks, unless driven by desperate hun ger, touch the strange cuts of new purveyor.-From the London Chroni- cle.

CUT WIPES THROAT
 AND KILLS HIMSELF
JOHN kINONEN, IN A FIT OF DE- SPoNpENCY FROM FAILURE TO FIND WORK, TRIES TO KILL HIS FAMILY.

Milwaukee, December 10.--An Evening Wisconsin special from Calumet, Mich, says: While in fit of despondency over his inability to find work and provide for his family, John Kinonen cut his wife's s throat. the throat of 16-year-old son, slashed a younger son fess serious, and then committed suicide by cutting his own throat. Kinonen is dead, but the other members of the family, while i'll serious condition, are not fatally wounded, and the attending physician thinks they will recover.
 The attempt at murder and suicide took place at Copper Falls, twenty-five miles from this city, at a. m. today. All of the family were sleeping, when Kinonen arose from his bed, and, talk ing his razor from his bureau, crept to the bed where his wife lay. In a moment he had cut a wide gaping wound in her throat. He then went to the bedroom of his sons and cut their throats while they slept. He then passed the keen blade across his own throat, dying within few moments. The younger boy, who was less severely injured than the rest, ran to a neighbours for help and doctors soon ar- rived and took charge of the wounded.

ISSUE NOTE ID
 AMERICAN PUBLIC John F. Redmond and Party
 Make Statement
CAME HERE FOR SYMPATHY
Policy of United Irish League Is the Policy of Parnell and the Land League Taken Up
 Anew.

New York, December 10.-John F. Red mond, leader of the Irish Parliamentary party. and his associates, Messrs Me Hugh and O'Donnell, have issued a fare well statement to their friends in Amer lea It is that their mission has been the most successful one since the days of Charles Stewart Parnell and the envoys will start on their return to Ireland to- day with the assurance that fund of S100000 will be raised A committee of twenty-five has been selected for this purpose.
 In their statement to tbe American public Messrs. Redmond and ODonnell say:
 "We came here at the request of the United Irish League, which is the organ ization of an absolutely united Irish peo- pie at home. The organization has been indorsed by the votes of the people in the ballot boxes at the general election which took place twelve months ago, and which resulted in the return to the English Parliament of a body of Nation alist members, all bound together in one politio-l party and under the same lead CTS.
  who desire to go further, and who con slider that our policy Is insufficient. Every Irishman who desires to strike an effec- tive blow against English government of Ireland has our best wishes, but we have come to America to ask sympathy and support for the present Irish movement which is organized upon lines that the experience of the past twenty years has proved to have been wise and success full"
 The policy of the United Irish League, it is announced, is the policy of Parnell and the Land League taken up anew. The Irish visitors say that one of the foremost items in the programme of the United League is the promotion of the Gaelic revival movement After point ing to the fact that the Irish people at home contributed $150,000 to spread the organization, MT. Redmond and his associates ask that, Tn the future this burden shall be shared in America. The particular form in which we ask sup port for our movement in America is the creation of a United Irish League of America on the same lines of the Land League of America twenty years ago."

NIcARAGUA's IDEA.
Protocol Signed Expresses What She
 Will Agree To.

Washington, December 10.-The ar- rangement entered into at Managua yes terday between United States Minister Mery and the Minister of Foreign Af- fairs was in. the nature of a protocol and was not strictly speaking, treaty. It is in effect definition in advance of the character of a treaty that Nicaragua is willing to enter into with the United States in the event that the Hay -Paunce- fote treaty is ratified by the United States Senate and Great Britain. There are supposed to be legal reasons why a treaty pure and simple could not be en- tered into by the United States and Nicaragua in advance of the consum- nation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. A similar arrangement has or will be made with the government of Costa Rica, to secure the necessary rights On the part of San Juan river essential for canal purposes and possibly subject to Costa Rican sovereignty.

when prices worked back to 7.91 only to advance to s,26 yesterday. For some time this sort of a market is expected. on which the decline took place, a point at a time, and the recovery in a very few moments. A prominent operator here cabled his foreign correspondents that nothing but @ big movement could pre- vent higher prices. The upturn of 60 points in a week leaves room for a de- cline. It must not be forgotten that Jan uary sold at TBS on Tuesday last week and then s1O today is low only because 1t sold at s.25 yesterday. On declines cot ton should be a purchase for higher prices later.
