Centennial of the Great Institution
Founded by Napoleon Commemor-
uted.
Paris. Feb. 20.-The centennial of the
foundation of the Bank of France was
celebrated to-day by the distribution of
medals commemorative the establish
ment of the institution, which may be
regarded as the most powerful creation
of Napoleon Bonaparte, and as one of
the institutions which has most con-
tributed to the power and prosperity of
France. The medals were designed by
M. Roty, the great French engraver,
and were struck off at the mint
1t is generally acknowledged that
no French institution has more con-
tributed to the development of indus
try and trade, and thereby, also, by
the prosperity it has brought about
and the civilization it has fostered,
more aided in the development of
science. art and letters, than has the
Bank of France. 1t was Napoleon 1
who, on the advice of the prudent Mol
lien. decided to establish the institu-
ton. At the end of the first year it
was found that its productive oper-
atoms amounted to 10000, 900 francs.
Nothing could show more eloquently
the extent of the route traversed since
then than to compare this figure with
that realized at the end of 1S99-name-
ly, 1888, 900, 900 francs. or hearty 40
times the original amount, to which
might be added a general movement
of non productive values for the bene-
fit of the treasury, amounting to 16
m!ll!ards. making a total of "a mill

Regarding new Russian port dues,
United States Consul General w. r.
Holloway, at St. Petersburg, writes
the State Department as follows:
New regulations concerning Russian
harbor dues have just been announced,
to take effect Jan l, 1902 which will
greatly facilitate the present system
of levying such dues in Russia Hence
forth there will be only two kinds of
port dues, namely, that to be paid by
all ships entering Russian harbors, and
the socalled pood due, to be levied
only in the Russian harbors named
in the Russian act on the subject. The
ship due amounts to 10 kopecks 6
cents) per ton for each ship of a nation
which with Russia has concluded COM
mercial and navigation treaties, and
rubles ($l.03) per ton for other ships.
Moreover, the minister of Finance is
empowered to raise this rate for ships
of certain states, and doubtless such
an enhancement will be enforced
against nations which have tariff diff
ficulties with Russia. The rate was
doubled during the Russo German Gus
toms war in $685. to the injury of
German navigation, especially in the
Baluc. Russian ships have to pay the
due of 10 kopecks per ton only once
during a navigation season. The
pood due in the ports mentioned by
the Russian act ranges, from one
fourth of l kopeck (0.12 cent? per pood
(36112 pounds) for corn, hay, straw,
chalk, etc, and one-half of l kopeck
CO.'S cent? per pood for all seeds, hemp,
oil cakes etc, to 1 kopeck COS cent?
per pool for all other products imported
into Russia. 1t is to be levied on the
weight mentioned in the bill of lading

he would get it for me to give Mr.
Rice He took me to his room, where
he took two square bottles from his
pocket and told me to be careful OF
the mixture as it would corrode his
throat, but in that proportion it would
be tasteless and would paralyze his
heart. l took it to Mr.. Rice's room and
made the mixture. / took a mouthful
of it in Mr.. Rice's presence. but did
not like it. That was late in the after
noon of Sunday, the day Mr. Rice died.
The DinbOIicnI Deed.
Patrick said it was time to give
Mr.. Rice the chloroform. Now that the
draft had arrived from Texas and
Capt. Baker was coming we should
lose all we had gained if Mr.. Rice
was not put away at once. l objected
that had never agreed to do anything
OF that sort, but Patrick insisted and
! yielded. l made cone of towel
saturated with chloroform and placed
il over my face. l felt the effect and
then put more chloroform on it and
went over into Mr.. Rice's room. He
was still sleeping. l put the cone
over his face and ran out of the room.
There was a violent ring at the door
bell just then, and l looked out
and saw someone. / think it was
woman, but l was too excited to be
sure l went back to Mr.. Rice's room.
He was lying just as l left him. l took
the towel off his face and put it in the
FIRE 1t burned. Then / opened all the
windows and telephoned to Patrick
Patrick said he would come over, but
that he did not want to get there be-
fore DR.. Curry arrived. They reached
the house together. / met them and
told them, 'EIe is dead Patrick eX-
claimed, oh, my God! That is the
worst thing that could have happened
TO me- He told me beforehand that he
intended to say that to deceive DR..
Curry. The doctor said he would need
an undertaken, and Patrick said, Yes
and a death certificate DR.. Curry
made out the certificate and the I'M
dertaker was sent for. Patrick visited
the room where Mr.. Rice's papers were
Kept and took away with him all the
papers he could find. Patrick talked to
me in DR.. Curry's presence and gave
no hint of anything wrong"
Mr.. Osborne suggested an adjourn
ment, but the recorder wanted a more
minute description of the towel cone
and chloroform, and questioned the
witness himself.
How He Made the Cone.
Jones told how he made the cone by
turning the towel in his hand and
pinning the overlapping end Then he
said he placed a sponge in the the
smallNend of the cone and saturated it
with chloroform.
Flow long did you leave the cone
on the face of Mr.. Rice?" asked the
recorder.
Il don't known. 1t was a little more
than half an hour. Patrick told me to
leave it there twenty minutes"
Did Mr.. Rice know what you were
doing?"
Il don't know. / believe | heard
something as if he had laughed.
WIS prepared for that because Patrick
had told me he would probably laugh
when he first inhaled the ehloroform"
Court was adjourned at this point
until tomorrow.
