London, Jan. 20.-With the departure
of the Russian special mission to Abyss
sinia this week, and the revival of the
report that Emperor Menelik will visit
Europe next summer, after the laying
of the first rail of THE Abyssinian rail-
way, attention is attracted anew to the
rivalries Of the powers in the mountain
kingdom. France will probably send
a large military deputaltion to the rail-
way function at which the negus will
have a corps of 5000 specially selected
troops, many of them veterans who as
sisted to intlict terrible defeat upon
the Italians at Adowa.
British craftsmanship and commerce,
however, are satisfied that the Anglo
Abyssinian treaty recently signed Will
keep Britains predominance in that
part of the dominions of the negus
which marches with the Soudan. The
frontier has been successfully delimited
and there is no longer any fear of coll
lisions between the mountain warriors
and the Anglo Egyptian troops who
hold the lands once ruled by the mahdt.
What is of greater Importance TO
British trade in that quarter is the stip-
ulation by Menelik not to allow any
barrier to be constructed across the
Blue Nile, the sobat or Lake Tzana.

THE WAVE OF POISONING.
District Attorney Osborne Tells Why II
Is Difficult to Convict Murderers.

New York, Jan. 20.-Assistant Dis
trict Attorney j. w. Osborne, who trie
Roland b. Molineaux, after declaring
that u wave of poisoning was sweeping
over the country AMI pointing out the
practical impossibility of convicting q
murderer on crcun!stantial evidence,
made this surprising statement:
Therefore, / say abolish tire death
penalty, because 1t is ineffective. Fine
the convicted murderer $40 and let him
go. No, do not think this light penalty
would increase murder. On the con-
trary, what feeling murderer would
have when walking from the court room
convicted man! How awful, the reali-
cation that during his entire life he
would be an Ishmaelite among his fell
lows! This would be worse than a thou
sand deaths.
Whenever you put a man in the aw-
full position of fighting against death in
any form, you make him heroic. The
public begins to cry out that he is a
hero. The public always takes the side
of the prisoner and this is very inJuri-
Gus to the cause of Justice.
Year by year juries in murder cases
are becoming more difficult to obtain.
The visitation of the death penalty is
becoming more into!eiable to the ordi-
nary jury and witness. The consequence
il that jury welcomes a peTjurer in
preference to truthful witness, be-
cause perjurer gives an excuse for
acouittal.'

A serious state of affairs exists also

PERILs OF BALKAN SITUATION
Abdul Hamid demonstrates Against
Austria Russia nMemorandun,.

| Vienna. Jan 20.--Testimony accum-
ulates as to The increasing nerils Or the
| Balkan situation. In Vienna, where
the Macedonian agitation is closely
watched, the opinion gains ground
| shat Russia and Austria Hungary may
not have an opportunity to test the
efficacy of the reform proposals they
wish to press upon the sultan.
The porte, relying apparently upon
assurances from Berlin that neither
power would incur the responsibility OF
exclusive action, and that combined
action ON the part of all the powers is
out of the question, has issued re-
nonstrance against the implications OF
the Austro- Russian memorandum, and
insists that the existing law is all that
is needed to give Macedonia relief, pro-
vided the people of the province obey
the law.
In this willy fashion does Abdul Ha-
mid delay and equivocate as of old. AS
for the agitators, they make no secret
of their purpose. They fix next April
as the time of rising. The regular
committee and the Sarafoff annex will
work together. The scheme does not
differ from that of the abortive attempt
of last spring. The agitators hope to
exasperate the Mussulmans to commit
atrocities upon the Christians. and thus
to provoke European occupation OF the
disturbed districts.
The theory is that Abdul Mamil will
grant autonomy in order to rid the land
of the foreign soldiery, whose presence
would be a standing affront to his dig
nifty. In carrying the plot, for plot it
is, into effect, the revolutionaries reck
nothing of the blood they may shed or
cause to be shed.
Today the Fremdenblatt, in warning
the professional agitators of the risk
they incur in an undertaking so selfish
and iniquitous, says:
1T would be we'll for the organizers
of trouble to realize that they would
have short shrif from Russia and Aus
tria- Hungary if their wicked endeavors
should be even III part successful, as
the two powers are absolutely resolved.

Rockford, Jan. ia travelling man
tells the writer of little affair that he
witnessed at Ruthyen last week. 1t
seems that in that thriving burg they
have lately been very short on coal and
ioHg on promises, and so when a switch
engine hauled down q car of coal for
the pump house, ana two or three Sec
ton men began unloading it, a number
OF farmers drove up beside the car and
hlled their wagons. then drove to the
city scales. weighed and took their tick
cts to the railroad colnpanys agent and
offered to pay for the same, but the
agent didn't know the price per bushel,.
thus obliging these farmers to .have 1t
charged Other farmers up the street
hearing that there was some coal in
town started down that way, when off
went the switch engine and car of coal.
only to return when they had two full
crews of section men to unload it be-
fore the farmers heard that more coal
had arrived.
Here's another story told the LOCKER
On. and it is voucheG for-names and
dates given: 1t seems that on a rail-
road siding in lowe FIVE carloads of an
thracite coal have been standing there
for the past three weeks, billed to Min
neapolis parties. One day this last
week railroad crew received orders to
pick it up and take ii thru to its desti-
nation. But after hauling it few sta
lions orders We're received to sidetrack
the five cars and they are there now on
another switch. This coal is in good,
well-locked cars and they may contain
nothing or be full OF old iron for all
the public knows. Meanwhile, If prices
go up in Minneapolis high enough to
suit the owners, some other crew of
railroad men may ge. orders to haul 1t
to Minneapolis.
"Meat is from to cents pound
lower in price in the Kansas City
packing houses than 1t was the same
time last year. The meat dealers say
that it will drop still lower before
Christmas. 1t is of better quality, too,
than it was last year.
1.-The reason for the drop in price Is
because the supply is now equal to the
