Official declarations, amounting to threats
of vigorous tariff law if Germany, under
a2rarian pressure, should persist in levy
ing heavy import duties upon foreign ag-
ricultural products, have been the chief
topics of public discussion here, both by
the government organs and the agrarian
and Antiquarian press. The Nation to.
day contains a remarkable article OH the
subject by Dr. Barth, the leader of the
treissinigne party, reviewing ~Russias
economic relations with Germany and the
United States, and says:
"The present Russo American tariff war
is of a temporary nature, since Russia
is seriously and Systematically working to
establish the closest relations with the
United States, not only commercial, but
financial, thus assuming the position Ger
many has heretofore occupied This forms
an inherent part of Russia's policy. 1t is
not only NJ. DeWitte's policy, but it is the
policy of the whole government"

Helena Mont, Feb. 25.--The mystery
surrounding the death of Captain Oliver
Dolson, one of the men who laid out the
city of Denver and was a famous Black
Hills character, whose body was found in
his cabin in Washington gulch, 35 miles
west of Helena, remains unsolved and the
most remarkable story of crimes of this
region. The officers who returned from
Washington gulch report the finding of an
alleged confession signed by Captain Dol
son, in which he declares that his son
Clinton Dolson, his grandson Oliver Ben
son and Ellis Persinger, the latter fromF
Missouri, are innocent of the murder of
Eugene Culin, which occurred in August,
$780, and for which the younger Dolson
is now serving a so year sentence and the
other two 10 year terms in the peniten-
tiary. Dolson in the confession states that
he was about to commit suicide and
he made the confession in the hope of free
ing innocent men. The officers believe the
confession to be clever forgery, but say
they can not prove this until persons ia
miliar with Dolsons handwriting can be
found To all appearances Dolson had
committed suicide

San francisco, Feb. 27.-The Examiner
says that the position of the wrecked Rio
de Janeiro has been located by sounding
in 10 fathoms of water, depth at which
divers can work. 1t is said to be exactly
a quarter of a mile from Fort Point buoy.
The Chronicle states that the wreck is
probably within a stones throw of the
walls of Fort Winfield Scott and within
easy reach of the wreckers 1t is not inn
possible that the imprisoned bodies may
be recovered.
About 100 bags of mail are in the sunken
ship. The chamber of commerce has called
on the California delegation in congress to
urge the erection of steam fog whistle
at Fort Point.

murdered children, and putting rope
around her body, drew her out. She
is violently insane and is restrained
with difficulty.

If you wish to be ultra fashionable
supply yourself with tucked glace

collars are thrown over the silk ones
and thus richness and variety of effects

MErHopIsTS SHOCKED.

Chicago Methodist parsons were
shocked when a brother minister rose
in the Monday meeting and denied tho
universal brotherhood OF man under
the fatherhood Of God. Some Of them
denounced the deliverance as rank
heresy and all of them except Bishop
Merrill seemed to feel that the utter
ance was impolitic II not sacrilegious.
Yet Methodist ministers as rule show
no moral acceptance of the doctrine OF
Gods fatherhood. They seem gener-
ally to look upon him as sort of step
father to most of the race. His father
hood, according to their Interpretation,
extends only to select few-to such,
for example, as got here first and COB
bled Gods bounties. These, If we may
believe the average Methodist minister,
are indeed Gods children; and all the
rest of us are mere orphans, depend
ent on the others for any chance we
get to live. 1t is only fair to the Chi
cago Methodist parson to say how
ever, that the shock given them by the
preacher who denied the fatherhood Of
God was not an economic one, but
purely theological. Even those who
hold to that fatherhood do not be-
lieve it except in Pickwickian sense.
