Cleveland told him in reply to an in

domestic arrangments that he might

The tlootld of last week throughout
Northern Idaho and the western part of
Minnesota reached the highest point
known to the oldest residents and the
damage done amounts to hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Several of the
largest bridges on the Union Pacific and
Northern Pacific roads were washed
away.
Pkinckss Ki laue of Spain arrived in
Wici.incrtiin Kriilav evenincr and was

Four companies of cavalry from Fort
Myer preceded the president's carnage,
which was sent for the use of the In

Skcretaky Caklj6LE has announced
his intention of proceeding in the de
portation of the Chinese until the ap
propriation is exhausted. But 116,000
is now available, though $50,000 more
will be ready by July 1. He intends be
ginning with those who are here in vio
lation of the law of 1884, those having
violated the Geary law coming next.
The government of Nicaraugua has
notified the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company that their vessels must not
stop at San Juan while that port is in
the hands of the revolutionists, but may
land passengers, mail and freight at Cor
into. No movements of importance are
being attempted by the revolutionsits, as
thev are waiting for more arms and
amunition.
Secretary Carlisle has informed
congressmen that he intends to discharge
every Republican in the treasury depart
ment who is not protected by the civil
service law. He says that he has given
the otticials of the department to under
stand that this will be his policy and
that they will not be dismissed on any
charges, but solely for the reason that
thes are Republicans and that the places
are wanted for Democrats.
The process of liquidation, or squeez
ing the water or inflated stocks, is
costly one, but the country at large does
not suffer very much from it. Legiti
mate business, after the flurry, rather
profits. Since January the New York
World figures up that the decline in the
price of stocks of the nine leading "in
dustries," including cotton oil, sugar,
whisky, electric, cordage, etc., has been
tUtt.SSO.OOO. Rut this collapse forced
the sale of other stocks U'tween January
and May is put at 2S7,(HM,000. This
is a tremendous showing, and yet the
country still lives.
The bill for the first week s loard of
the duke of Yerugua at the Auditorium
hotel, Chicago, with carriage hire in
eluded, has just come to hand at the
slate department, and it amounts to the
pretty figure of $2,500. Under these
circumstances the State department has
hoped and expected that the cities which
the duke was to visit, like New York
and Chicago, would do something
handsome in the way of helping to bear
the expense. Secretary Gresham paid
he would pay all bills presented on ac
count of the entertainment of the in
fanta and theduke according to the
instruction of Congress
At 3:50 p. m. last Saturday, in dark
ness like midnight, a hailstorm broke
loose over Pittsburg, exceeding in its
fury and damages any before known in
western Pennsylvania. Several run
aways occurred, many persons were in
jured and the loss of property caused ty
the storm will exceed a million dollars.
The hailstones were about the size of
English walnuts. The storm lasted
scarcely ten minutes. Two funeral pro,
cessions were wrecked the horses run
ning away, with shocking results. A
heavy rainstorm succeeded the hail, and
increased the damages. The storm ex
tended up the Allegheny river as far as
Tarentum.
The friendly mediation of the United
States, exercised through Secretary
Gresham, has averted a serious rupture
between the governments of Japan and
Corea. These governments were on the
verge of war, because of Corea refusing
to compensate Japanese merchants for
losses sustained through Corea suddenly
prohibiting certain exports (in view of
apprehended famine) in which Japanese
traders were largely interested. The
Corean government has finally agreed to
pay the Japanese government an in
demnity of $110,000 in settlement of the
claims of the Japanese merchants, the
sum being a compromise between the
sum originally demanded by Japan and
that offered by Corea.
The total immigration for ten months
of the fiscal year ending April 30 was
334,825 a decline of 120,000 from the
ten corresponding months of the previ
ous year. The arrivals from Russia and
Poland show the greatest falling off, the
reduction being from 94,(00 to 34, 0(H).
The Italian immigration shows no
abatement. This ig the work of the
padrones. There was a very slight de
cline in the arrivals from great Britain
and Ireland. The new coiiimiioner of
immigration, Mr. Stump, of Maryland,
proposes that the laws shall be rigidly
enforced, and if that is done the country
will be amply protected against the un
desirable, atllietetl and criminal class;
that is about as well it can Itu protect
ed toh oil of absolute exclusion.
The last issue of BradMreH' contains
the results of a systematic inquirj m.
.. - ; iL. I
condition of rural roads all over u,e
country and the effect of the interrup-
tion of trade br bad roads on the farm-
er And the merchant. The information
on both points is valuable, but on the
latter is perhaps the most conclusive
showing yet made.
Th ir.miirv shows a fair amount of
- - - -1 j
improved roadways in Southern ew
England. Eastern Massachusetts being
the sectiou making the best showing,
but secon in all probability to New Jer
sey or the part of it lying between Phila
delphia and New York, where the best
and most rapidly extending system of
i mi. roved country roads is found. The
southeastern parts of New York and
- i - -
Pennsylvania are in the favorable list.
and some of the Maryland roads are
classified as g.xxl highways. Outside of
these sections the general prevalence of
dirt roads remains unbroken.
As to the effect of bad country roads
on business the returns amount very
nearly to absolute demonstration.
From Maine to Tex as and from Georgia
to Minnesota prices oi larm prouueus
have been advanced unduly because of
delays to interior wagon traffic by heavy
roads," and of course the farmers can
get no benefit from these high prices,
the bad roads being the barrier between
producers and consumers. The unfav
orable effect from the same cause on
mercantile collections, loans to fanners
and interest is abundantly testified to.
while a multitude of replies show an ad
vance in farm values where roads have
been improved varying from 10 to 100
percent, and averaging 15 per cent. The
conclusion of the journal making these
inquries is the pregnant one that the loss
to the country by bad country roads is
more than double the annual expendi
ture for road repairing, and would in
two years cpme near the cost of grid
ironing the districts east of the Missouri
river with the best class of roads.
Such facts as these render indisputa
ble proof of what has heretofore ttcen as
serted. In collecting them Unuhtreti'
has rendered a distinct public service.
Thf greatest banking and financial
greatest naniting ana nnanciai
authority in the world, perhaps, is the
Right Hon. William Linderdale, who
was governor of the bank of England last
year and now is a director in that won
derful institution. He last week talked
freely with a New York World corre
spondent on the financial situation, and
made two especially notable observations.
1. That America has not enough curren
cy for its people's needs, i. e., for the
business of the country, and 2, that in
all probability "the United States will
pull gold from us. (England) in the au
tumn," i. e.. the current of gold will
by fall be changed from flowing to Eu
rone to coming from Europe. The cor
rectness of the first statement is realized
daily by the great body of tradesmen all
over the country, and this fact has had
much to do with bringing about the ex-
isting powerful sentiment in favor of the
free coinage ef silver. The second state
ment, tieing purely prophetic, we can
only hope it may prove to be equally
correct.
Two convicts in the western peniten
tiary engaged in a desperate fight with
knives on Wednesday afternoon. Roth
were seriously but not dangerously hurt.
A third convict, who attempted to sep
arate the combatants, was seriously cut
in the breast. Two of the fighters were
removed to the hospital department of I
the prison. The fight occurred in the I
broom making department of the insti
tution. The desperate battle was the result of
an old fend between the two prisoners.
Several times recently they have had a
wordy fight and both were being closely
watched by their keepers. When they
came together both fought viciously. It
required the keeper and several convicts
to separate them. In the struggle both
prisoners fell to the floor and both
slashed and cut at the other.
The penitentiary authorities refused to
give out any information about the
case. The fight will be reported to the
prison board when it meets.
On Friday the Governor sent a message
to the Legislature annonncing his ap
proval of the following bills: Requiring
school directors to furnish books and
other school supplies free of cost, known
at the Farr free text book bill; to estab
lish a medical council and three State
boards of medical examiners; extending
the power of the courts to appoint elec
tion ofticers in certain cases; providing
for the immediate printing and distribu
tion of unbound copies of the state laws
as they are enacted; to establish
boards of arbitration to settle matters of
variance between capital and labor; to
empower courts to fix the place of hold
ing the general election; providing that
I voters shall cast their ballots at polling
places inside the election district in
which they are domiciled; directing
. . ....
county commissioners to bind and pre-
serve weekly newspapers published in
their counties.
The Mint officials have received word
that counterfeits of the World's Fair
souvenir half-dollars are in the market
aleeady and as they are made of coin
silver, they are not easy to detect. It is
6aid that they area trifle light in weight
and a shade smaller in circumference
than the genuine, which, however, only
appears when they are stacked up to
gether. In the words "Columbian Half
Dollar" the V is not quite perfect, and
the medallion head of Columbus leans a
little to the right. As it takes about 30
cents' worth of silver to make one, and
their market value is a dollar, their man
manufacture leaves a good margin of
profit. As the coin bears no mint mark,
it is comparatively easy to counterfeit.
The report of the department of agri

behind in proortion to the size of his
department. Postmaster icneral Jisseli
has had to devote so niucli time to me
selection of postmasters that he hasn't
made very many changes in his depart
ment, but he will, as will Attorney Gen
eral Olney and Secretaries luooiit and
Herltert.
Judge Lochrcn believes he will kill
one of the principal roots of the jicnsion
evil by making the Medical ISoards which
examine applicants for tensions entirely
Iteniocratif, instead of allowing one he-
publican on each board of three as has
been done. Speaking of this change he
is quoted as saying: "One of the things
the Itemocrats have committed them-,
selves to do is to sift as far as possible
the rubish which has been drifting into
this pension cesspool. The parly 1ms
committed itself to reform in this mat
ter, and there is no better, way to make
a start than by having only Democrats
on these Itourds." 1 liu not state it asa
fact that President Cleveland has ap
proved this action of Judge Iochren,
but it is hardly probable that such a rad
ical change would have Iteeu announced
by him unless it had Iteen previously ap
proved by the President.
Much more or less silly talk has Iteen
indulged in this week altoiit the proba
bility of a war with China Itecause of the
Supreme Court having declared the
Geary law constitutional. Needlss to
say neither the President nor Scretary
Gresham have the remotest idea that
there will be any serious trouble with
China. The Chinese, minister told Sec
retary Gresham that his government
would not take any retaliatory Steps, and
that it would, as far as possible, protect
Americans in China from any attack

President Clevelaed has let it I very
plainly understood this week that the
rule of allowing Federal officials to serve
a term of four years is not intended to
keep Republicans in otlice who have
used their orlieial ftositions solely toaid
their party. "Prove that the man you
name has been an offensive partisan,"
said he to a Senator and several Repre

removal of a Republican official," and I
will remove him as soon as I can find a

Terrific Wind at Cleveland.
Cleveland, May 23. A terrific wind
Struck this city at W o'clock this morn
ing. Four men were instantly killed
and many injured iu the numerous cas-
ualities,
A scaffold, blown from lt-
fastenings by the high wind, seriously,
and in one case fatally, injured four men
employed by the Cleveland Gas, Light
and Coke company.
It had been found necessary to elevate
a brick chimney on top of the IJrady
block, at the corner of Superior and Erie
Street, and for this purjiose a scaffold
had Iteen built up twenty feet above the
6ix-6tory building. Seeing the storm
coming the men working on it ran for
shelter. The wind was soon upon it,
and, with a tearing of timlters, the
whole mass was broken loose. 1 1 dropped
straight down the side of the
building until the second floor was
reached. Here it was caught by another
I gust of -vind and hurled with terrific
force toward the gully where, it lauded
with a crash that was heard for bloc ks
around. Twenty men under rorenian
Jaetson, of the gas company, were at
work in the gully. They were working
hard to get the ditch just dug covered
up so as not to block the sewer when the
rain fell. The huge mass of heavy tim
bers fell right ia their midst. They
were all thrown off their feet by the crash,
and all but four of their number imme
diately sprang up. The men could not
arise, as they were pinioned down by
heavy timlter.
A general alarm was sent throughout
the city. They responded promptly and
j the work of rescue began.
As soon as
the men were extricated they were hus
tled away to the Lakeside hospital.

Tlnil of Their Hard Lot.
NoRnie tows, Pa., May 22. Oppressed
by poverty and weary of the struggle for
existence a mother and daughter ended
their lives with poison last night at their
home near here. Mrs. Agnes Burton
and her daughter lived at North Wales
and was very poor. The daughter earned
$5 working in a web factory and this
was the main supjtortof the two women.
Worn out by their effort to make a liv
ing they determined to die. From the
meagre evidence before the coroner it
seems the mother first gave strychnine
to her daughter and then took the poi
son herself and both were dead iu a
short time. The jury returned a verdict
in accordance with the above facts.

The most essential featuie of our pres
ent modes is the pre-euiluciit part which
the sleeves take In the general make-up of
a toilette. They constitute the doininaut
note, the stricking accessory w hich com
pels the a l ten lion of the beholder. In
point of variety of details, such as draper
ies, tiiuiining aud ornameutation, they
surpass any other part of the costume. To
this complication must be added the furth
er necessity of knowing the historical orl
giu aud ascertaining the style most suita
ble to the figure of each indivio.al wearer.
The well-known and popular IcDowell
fashion journals are excellent guides iu
this embarassing perplexity. Uefeogui.ing
the important role of the sleeve in out
modem slvles. they have devoted many
lesso-is to the different kinds of the pre

them. These lessons are invaluable.

Oliver Invented and. Cave to the
World the Chilled Plow.
into OLIVER CHILLED PLOWS
MADE ONLY BV THE
Oliver Chilled Plow Works,
South Bend, Indiana,
ARE THE BEST GENERAL PURPOSE PLOWS IN THE WORLD.
A strong statement but a true one, for these plows are better
known, have reached a larger sale, have had a longer run, have proved
more popular and given better satisfaction than any other plows oa
the face of the globe.
We mean the GENUINE OLIVER, and not the imitations claim
ing to be the Oliver, or equally as good. Such imitations are on the
market, placed there by unscrupulous manufacturers who seek to trade
on the good name of the Oliver.
Look out for imitations, buy only the genuine Oliver plows and
repairs, and be sure you are right before you take the plow home.
JtaOnce more Beware of "bogus" Oliver plows and repairs, and
take none but the genuine, made by the Oliver Chilled Plow Wokks,
South Bend, Indiana.
