QUICKSILVER DECLINES
Last Year Lowest Since
 1860.

The dnicksilver industry in the United States broke a record last year. but not an enviable one, for with the exception of that of 1908. the produc- ton last year was the lowest since 1860. Final figures from every pro- McCaakey. of the United States Geo. logical Survey give 3 domestic out put of quicksilver for 1913 of 20,2I3 flasks of 75 pounds each. valued at $813, ,171s against a production Of 26,~ 064 f1asks. valued at $1d053.941. in the large foreign output for the last few years. a dull market. and a gem eraI lowering of prices.
 Producers report 154.033 short tons of ore mined and available for treat ment in 1913, against I 66, 564 tons in 1912. and the reduction of 136.27s tons, against 155, 693 tons in 1912
 California, as usual. was the larg- est producer in 1913. with 15.591 flasks, valued at $627.228s a decrease from the output of 1912, of 4,933 flasks in quantity and of $235.S06 in value The total value of the produc- ton of quicksilver in the state from 1850, the date of the earliest output, to the end of 1913 has been $95, ,902,- s23. The quicksilver output of Ne vada in 1913 was 1,645 flasks. valued at $66,178.

POLAND

The first partition of Poland was erected under an agreement entered into by Russia, Prussia and Austria 142 years ago to-day, Aug .17T2-z The once large and important king dom thus began it's downfall to the position of a. mere vassal of its mighty neighbors, but the traditions and the aspirations for Independence continue
 to animate the breasts of Poles and they may yet realize their dream Of tregaining their lost standing among the peoples of the world. Count Po- Eniatowsk1, who was elected to the throne by the name Of stanislaus Au-
 gustus 15e years ago. was the last king Of Poland. Under this unfor- tunate monarch the country became the theatre of a long and devastating war, and when Poland was finally
 beated into submission the country was divided between Catherine Of Russia, Frederic of Prussia. and Jo-
 seph IT, of Austria In 17S5 a ftir- ther meuberment was dffected by
 the three great powers, and the whole l Of Poland was absorbed, except the ancient city Of Cracow and a little ad- l jacent territory Of the three spoil CTS of Poland, Russia. secured the lar- ger share.

During the progress of a trial of the
suit of Thomas Phillips against the
Terre Haute. Indianapolis and Eastern
Traction company in circuit court to-
day, Attorney Byram Robbins. for the
defendant, introduced a motion ask
ing Judge Fox to instruct the jury to
return a verdict against the plaintiff
on the ground of insufficiency of evil
dence.
The jury adjourned and both law
yerS were given an hour to argue the
point. The continuance of the trial is
pending the decision of the Judge on
the motion.
Samuel Parker, a young boy, was
driving a moving van On the National
road last October for Phillips and be-
cause of the slippery condition of the
street, alleges he was forced to cross
the street car tracks. He says no
warning was given of the approach of
the interurban, which struck the van
demolishing it and injuring one of
the horses.
Phillips demands 81 900 for the dam

Meetings While House of
Commons Waits.

LONDON, March 27-"It is the du-
'ty of every officer and soldier to obey
all commands to aid the civil powers.
While cheer after cheer resounded
through the House of Commons this
Afternoon, Premier Asquith served this
notice upon the army that parliament
is to govern England and that it will
not be swerved from it's purposes by a
military cabal.'
The liberals in the house went wild
with enthusiasm over the announce
ment. The premier apologized to the
house for his inability to make his
statement earlier, saying that it was
caused by the resignation of Field
Marshal John French and Lieut.. Gen.
Sir John Denton Ewart.
Asks Reconsideration.
The premier then announced that he
has asked both these officers to re-
consider their resignation.
mo officer or soldier shall in the
future request assurance regarding
orders he might be requested to carry
out. 1t shall be the duty of every Off
Ger and soldier to obey all commands
from the proper channels to aid the
civil powers. l am awaiting their fin
al answer" said the premier.
A ministerial crisis is believed i'm
minent.
Both officers were summoned to the
premier's residence, while the cabinet
was sitting and remained for some
time. The ministers remained in SEES
sion after the generals left
Conflicting reports were circulated
after the cabinet meeting. 1t was ru
mored that the premier had asked
! both officers to withdraw their resig
nations, but that both had refused E
| do so.
The general opinion prevailed today
, that Premier Asquith had been
strengthened in his position by the &C
ton of Field Marshal French and Gen
eral Ewart, who had given the gov
eminent an opportunity to wage a
campaign on the ground that the issue
! had narrowed down to conflict be
tween the army and parliament

HAS GOOD ARGUMENT
Women Jurors to Offset
Women Crooks Suggested.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Mrs.
John b. Henderson, widow of the sen:
ator from Missouri and prominent So
cial leader, declared today that wo-
man jurors are needed to offset the
tears of fair defendants in blackmail
cases. She made the proposal as
new argument for equal suffrage.
There is not a man so bad that
there Is not woman to match him."
said Mrs. Henderson. Il can conceive
of nothing more brutal than the wo-
man crook who makes il business
to blackmail innocent men. few Of
the most clever can terrorize town
or congress. Such women can hank
on the chances of judges and juries
being fools as far as they are con-
cerned. No woman is fooled by the
tears of woman sharp. Women vot-
ers will be keen for the protection Ct
men from women frauds"
