Millions of money are lying idle in the
tTnited States for want of promising invest
ments. Capitalists have not yet fully ap
preciated the field to the south of us in the
sister republic, but the tide is now setting
in. Borne enterprises are already projected
and they are the precursors of colossal ones
that will surely follow. Bailroad, timber,
rubber and colonization schemes are now on
loot The Pan-American Congress has
already resulted in much good.
SridJU, TELEGEAM TO THI DISPATCH.
New Yoek, February 15. "There are
millions of money lying untouched in New
York City tor want of confidence in the in
vestments that are daily offered. There are
more millions throughout the country in the
out-of-the-way nooks and corners of the
Jand waiting for a chance to be turned into
the channels of trade."
Henry Cle-fcs, the great banker, said this
the other day, and as usual Henry Clews
was right. The condition of the savings
banks of the country shows the truth of the
statement the quickness with which capi
tal springs forth to meet and sustain worthy
enterprises emphasizes the fact The great
manufacturing industries that years azo
made New England hum with the buzz of
increasing industry and growing wealth are
to-day in quiet and almost unnoticed prog
ress keeping up with the general welfare of
the country. But the big dividends they
once lavished upon their stockholders are
so longer visible in their bank accounts.
The productive capacity of the factories of
the country have outrun the demands of the
home market In six months, say the stat
isticians, we can manufacture enough to
supply the entire United (States for a year.
That is why the Fan-American Congress
had assembled. There are, of course, other
reasons which led to the gathering of these
Spanish-American statesmen and our own
delegates to consider how closer and better
relations, commercial as well as friendly,
could be established between the United
States and our neighbors of the great
southern portion of the Continent, but the
main point at issne is where the great sur
plus of our factories and our other matters
for export can find a favorable market That
is really the object of the Fan-American
Congress in so far as the United States are
concerned. The Spanish-American nations
want cheap and serviceable goods. "We are
their nearest neighbors. "We have the
goods, and what we desire is an opportunity
to deal with them.
ALEXAHDEB SHETHEBD'S EXAMPLE.
Everybody in this country knows or has
read about ex-Governor Alexander Shep
herd, of "Washington, D. C. a great
brawny, big-brained and business-lik man
who changed the National Capital from a
mud town to one of the magnificent crea
tions of the world. Lay aside the question
as to how it was done. That is and probably
will continue to be a subject of discussion
for years to come. He went away from
"Washington broke and almost without a
dollar. He disappeared from public view.
He was poor and his career had ended. So
his criticisers declared. Had it? "Well,
bo, not exactly. The other day he
came back from his self-imposed
exile. "Where had he been everybody
asked and the answer came back in
Hexico. "What had he done? Nothing
more than thousands ot other energetic men
like him could have accomplished. He had
made a new fortune. There was no donbt of
his statements. They were backed up in a
way that made men look down toward
31exico and Spanish America as the haven of
their financial hones. That opened a new
phase of consideration for onr American
capitalists. So some of them sent down an
agent to the Mexican capital, and the New
York bankers, who are bright and consider
ate and well advised, are going to open a
great bank in the metropolis of the sister Re
public where some ot the latest surplus
money of the country can find profitable in
Testment AN INVESTMENT IK CHIAPAS.
The United States is ready to pour its
thousands and millions into Mexico and
South America provided the promise of re
turn is neither vague nor unsatisfactory.
There was a member of the Mexican Con
gress in the States last month. He was a
bright, intelligent, well-informed and wide
minded gentleman. His name was Manuel
Samirez Varela. He had a concession from
his Government which carried 1,500,000
acres of land in the State of Chiapas.
Mexico. An American company formed for
Euch purposes took hold of the "matter, in
vestigated it found it as represented, and
to-day the stock of the company formed for
the development of the land, the planting of
coffee, rubber, etc., is among the investments
Eought after on the markets of the financial
centers throughout the country.
They are talking of building a big rail
road in Sonth America. "Well, why not?
It would connect the railways of the United
States by way of any of the routes through
Mexico with the richest fields for commer
cial enterprise ever opened to the business
men of this country. It will eventually be
built, and if American capital stays out,
foreign capital will step in. The present
plans for the road that is to run from the
City of Mexico to the heart of the Spanish
American portions of the continent may
sever be realized, but something like them
will soon be worked into practical accord
with the idea of business men.
PBOJECTS OP THE ISTHMUS.
People have been talking about the Pan
ama Canal and the Nicaragua Canal and
the ship railroad of the late Captain Eads
for these many years. There is a hazy sort
of idea that the Panama scheme is dead;
that the Nicaragua Canal is not as certain
oT being built as its projectors would like,
and that the ship railroad was buried with
Captain Eads. AH this may be trne, but
otner projects are springing up to replace
them. Here is a syndicate starting to build
a railroad right through from the Gulf to
. the Pacific They start at the little town of
Prontera and run down through the richest
and best lands in Mexico, right into the
lieart of the immensely valuable mahogany
forests of Chiapas, and, skirting the States
of Tabasco and Oaxaca, make the port of
Tonola on the Pacific "With this line built
and they are building it with American
and English capital the problem of short
ening the way between the Pacific Ocean
and the Southern States of this country may
be said to be solved.
"Well, would anyone believe that hun
dreds, if not thousands, of Americans are
thinking seriously of seeking new homes in
Mexico and Spanish America. It is a fact
Only the other day in New York there was
organized a company for the purpose of
locating sngar and fnbber plantations in
this same State of Chiapas, and locating
there abont 1,000
STUBDT AMEBICAN FAMILIES
with tools and implements and capital suf
ficient to sustain them in their first struggle
for homes and wealth. "Will these men suc
ceed? "Why not? The lands are untouched
by theltanasof the toiler the mahogany
forests when cut and transported to a mar
ket would promptly pay all the expenses of
the enterprise, and Yankee plnck
and energy will soon find a way
to carry the valuable woods to
the market Do yon know what ma
hogany tree is worth at the stump? "Why,
$50 is about the lowest figure, and in that
Southern belt of Mexico made up of the
States of Oaxaca, Tabasco and Chiapas,
there are million of trees that have never
heard the ring of axman's stroke. Of
course, the question of transportation is the
main one to be considered, but capital will
not long allow such rich fields of profit to
lie dormant, and that part of the problem
will soon be solved.
One of the noticeable things about this
movement of American capital;toward Mex
ico, Central and South America is the sud
denness with which the movement has
sprung into popularity with the bankers,
merchants and exporters in the great centers
of trade throughout the country. "Why
should it not? The total trade of Spanish
America amounts annually to $1,000,000.-
000. ,
OUB MEBCHANTS NEED IT.
Nearly all of this immense sum of money
has for years past gone to sustain and enrich
the manufacturing industries of England,
France and Germany. It is this trade with
its millions of profit that the merchants of
this country need. It will be the open
market right at their own doors for our
manufacturers, and the question of surplus
products will no longer be a pressing one.
Is it to be wondered that the coffers of the
rich, the pocketbooks of the well-to-do, and
the purses of those of moderate means are
pouring out the money necessary to develop
and make successful this great work? Only
the other day when it was announced that
an American company had, through its res
ident directors and manager at the Mexican
capital, secured railroad, plantation and
other valuable concessions from the Govern
ment of that republic the demand for its
securities and stock rolled in from all sec
tions of the country.'
Poor? This nation the people of the
nation are not poor. There are millions of
good money ready for investment nt any
moment that security and a fair share of
profit is assured. The way that the thou
sands are pouring in for the advancement of
the plans to secure the trade of Spanish
America proves that fact.

Tuo Ring Candidate.
"When he was in Councils was he not the
weak and serviceable tool of the ring, gain
ing promotion by doing its work? Eighteen
members of the Select Council, beaded by
D. D. Bruce, entered a formal protest in its
journal against his partial and unjust rul
ings in the interest of the ring. The ring
handled him as President of Council pre
cisely as it expects to handle him as Mayor.
He is wanted on the Board of Awards. The
veto power in his hands would be much
safer for the ring than in the hands of Judge
Bailey. Everybody understands that
Mr. Gonrley's connection with the city
government was signalized by a sycophantic
devotion to the ring, and he made it pay in
the school book business.
His compromise of the English snit shows
the mettle of the man. He would not do
insticetothe widow and orphans of his
benefactor until his political interest was
threatened. Then he came down. He
weakened before certain exposure. "It is
an acknowledgment of guilt," says Major
Blown, who pnt Gourley in nomination at
the Bepublican city convention.
If Gourley is elected Mayor he takes
office as the mere too' and agent of the ring.
The proof of this is in his own weak char
acter his antecedents and the sreat sums
of money the ring is using 'n his behalf. It
is the common judgment that at no preced
ing city election has there been such a lavish
expenditure. Everybody who will stand it
is assessed or blackmailed to provide the
funds.
Then there are the people who own Coun
cils and trade in franchises. They got
$70,000 fo the Junction charter. But above
all at this time there are pending street con
tracts in the East End alone that will call
for a million of dollars. "What a conveni
ence a man of Gourlev's methods on the
board to award such contracts.
Communicated.
The Cnndidates for Mayor.
Judge Bailey, on his nomination, was
assailed by the ring; not as a corrupt or bad
man, but as some ways deficient in business
qualifications for the office of Mayor. That is
all that has been urged against the Judge.
His honesty not having been assailed, his
business capacity has been shown by the
fact that on the Matter in issue what he did
has been sustained by the courts after full
hearing and discussion. There are brains
and integrity backing Judge Bailey.
"What abont Gourley? He incited these
attacks on Judge Bailey. He paid for them
at so much a line in the newspapers that
would take them. By so doing he chal
lenged investigation of his own record.
"What is it? Not that he was lacking in
business capacity. He was entirely too
smart He ignored the just claims of the
widows and orphans.of his business associ
ate for years, and came to terms only when
an exposure would have impaired his aspi
rations as a ring candidate. As Major
Brown said: "It would have placed Mr.
Gourley in a much better light if he had al
lowed the matter to go into court It does
not look manly to be afraid to face a suit.
It is a qnasi-acknowledgment ot guilt."
How do you like that certificate, Brother
Gourley, lrom the gentleman who put you
in nomination ior -Mayor
Could the ring hope for a better man to
nse the veto power or sit on the Board of
Awards?
Communicated,
The Power of the Itlnyor.
"The Mayor is not, as many assume,
powerless to hold in reasonable check the
dishonest men who would fatten upon the
hard earnings of the taxpayers, but he has
well defined powers to that end which he
should not permit to lie idle or inefficient in
his bands. The right to scrutinize every act
of city legislation, and to pronounce there
on, imposes upon him grave duties, which
are not to be performed in a perfunctory
way. bnt should be utilized to aronse
the attention of the citizens to vicious legis
lation, and to pillory those who would palter
with their obligations as members of the
City Councils. His duty to supervise all
the departments of the city government
should lead him to watch their every net
and to restrain any departure from the fair
est dealing. Such powers wisely used in
the past would have stayed a disreputable
traffic In important and valuable franchises
and have secured to the city just returns
from grants to corporations and others, to
the great relief of the people, and Jney would
constitute a potent restraint in the important
matter in the award of contracts."

halien had also been subjected to cruel flog
ging. They were . constantly in dread of
similar torture to that inflicted upon Madam
Sigida.
Mr. Stepnlak was asked whether he
thought the Czar, in view of the fact that
these exceptional horrors at Kara had been
made public, would interfere to mitigate the
severity of the prison discipline in the case
ofDolitical convicts. He replied that he
thought it not unlikely that the publication
of the facts would force the superior officials
of Russia to take some notice of the affair.
But he said, the flogging and all the other
brntalities were entirely due to the direct
orders of the central government at St
Petersburg, namely, the edict of March,
1888. The Ministry of the Interior was
therefore directly responsible for the renewal
of corporal punishment of political prison
ers, which had been suspended in 1877,
after Trepoff ordered Bogolubotf to be
flogged.
EVEN WOESE TO COME.
George Kennnn Thinks That Farther Atroc
ities Will bo Made Public Bad
Stories Concerning; Borne of
the Eeeent Victims.
Chicago, February 15. A telegram con
firmatory of the recent wholesale outrages
on the persons of political prisoners at the
mines of Kara, Siberia, was shown to
George Ken nan. It stated that Medame
Sigida had been flogged to death, Marie
Kalnzhnaya, Maraya Karalefskaya and
Aladezhda Smirnitskaya having poisoned
themselves on hearing of Madame Sigida's
late, and tnat the brother of the first-named
unfortunate had committed suicide from
grief.
"Such news," said Mr. Kennan, his face
mantling with indignation, "is enouch to
make a man's blood boil. It has been re
served for the closing years of the nine
teenth century to witness this crowning con
summation ot Bussian barbarity, the flog
ging of helpless and unprotected women.
"Well may we ask ourselves, standing here
in liberty's chosen land, how civilized
nations suffer such things to.be.
ALMOST BEYOND BELIEF.
"Of Madame Sigida, the principal victim
in this tragedy, I know little, as she was sent
from St Petersburg to the mines of Kara
after I left Bussia, in 18S6. I believe, how
ever, that she was sentenced to a long term
some time in the' early part of 1887. It
seems appalling to think that this poor
creature was deliberately flogged to death,
though it would take, perhaps, but a mode
rate infliction of the knout in the case of a
feeble and doubtless failing woman.
"The hardiest and strongest man will sink
beyond the possibility ot rallying under 80
or 100 blows, and yon can imagine the effect
of such a barbarous, punishment when in
flicted on a delicately nurtured and sickly
woman. The man who committed this out
rage must have been an extraordinary brute,
even for a Bussian official. I have seen
brutes in Siberia in a state of partial intoxi
cation who might do it, and it is possible
that this fellow may have been under the
influence of liquor when he ordered this
torture inflicted. This official jn charge of
me ivara piacer mines wouiu oe invested
with full power to do anything he thought
fit, and he has nothing to check him.
AN EXTEAORDINABY HISTOEY.
"I am well acquainted with the history of
Marie Kalnzhnaya, the first of the three
suicides. It is an extraordinary one. In
1884, when only a girl of 18, she was ar
rested upon a charge of disloyalty and
thrown into prison. "While there every
effort was made to icdnce her to betray her
associates. For days and days she was sub
jected t- solitary confinement, under an al
most unendurable mental strain,' ignorant
of her own fate or the fate of her relatives.
She, however, successfully withstood, for
many months, all attempts to frighten her
into a confession or a betrayal of the others.
One day a gendarme officer in Odessa,
named Colonel Katinski, brought her a
skillfully forged document purporting to be
a confession signed by her relatives, and
falling into the trap, the girl told all she
knew, obtaining her own release, but, to her
horror, ascertained that she alone had been
instrumental in sending her friends to exile.
"In revenge for this outrage Bhe en
deavored to assassinate the gendarme officer,
Katinski, shooting at him with a revolver,
but only slightly wounding him in the ear.
For this she was sentenced to the mines for
20 years. In these mines she was not put to
work, but was confined for the most part
within the stout log houses constituting the
prisons, where they are employed in various
menial offices. It is a hopeless, dreary ex
istence and many go insane while suicides
are far from rare.
A TEEY SAD CASE.
"Previous reports allude to the suicide of
others besides those mentioned. It is pos
sible th'at among these may be Anna Pay
loyna Korba, a Bchool teacher. Anna Yaki.
mova. Praskovia Ivanofskava and Tatiana
Lebedeva, also school teachers, and all
"young women, who were at the mines ot
Kara when I visited them. It is highly
prbbable that these women, highly educated
and of a sensitive temperament shocked be
yond measure at the appalling finale of the
brutal treatment to which their sister con
vict had been subjected, have committed
suicide, in addition to the other two men
tioned in the dispatch, Madame Karalefs
kaya and Madame Stnirnitzkaya.
"The case of Madame Marya Paolovna
Karalefskaya is a particularly sad one. She
is a young married lady of about 35 years of
age. Her husband was a teacher in one of
the gymnasia at Kiev. She commenced by
peaceful methods of agitation, but finally
joined a secret society, which was surprised
and captured by the police. She was sen
tenced to 13 years penal servitude, her hus
band, who had not been present when the
arrest was made, being sent to a part of Si
beria distant at least a thousand miles from
his wife. This separation caused her to go
insane and she was sent to her husband in
hopes that she would recover. Her recov
ery took place, when, on a change of gov
ernors in the vicinity, she was taken back
to the mines and again separated from her
husband.
UNDOUBTEDLY TEUE.
"I have but little doubts that the reports
of this unfortunate lady having committed
self destruction are true. Poor thing. "What
had she Jp live for? The story of her little
girl, who lived at Kiev with relatives all
this time, is peculiarly pathetic She re
ceived letters which this child wrote to her
parents during their exile, eloquent of the
keen distress the little one feels at her en-
lorcea separation ironi her natural pro
tectors. "I see It is also reported that the men at
the Kara mines have broken out in revolt
This statement confirms, iu my mind, the
whole story, for, while the mines to which
the men are sent are somewhat remote from
these where the female exiles are consigned,
yet it would be impossible to prevent the
news of this outrage reaching the men.
"The flogging of Madame Sigida in itself
would have been enough to have roused
them to a condition of frenzy, for it is the
first time within my knowledge that such an
atrocity has been committed within the bor
ders of the empire; but the subsequent sui
cide of the three unfortunate female com
panions of the victim of official barbarism,
followed by the death of her brother, would
have been provocative of Such a frenzy of
indignation, and that they would stop at
nothing.

how wonderfully tijey have been cured by the
physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Insti
tute at 323 Penn ave., and I feel it ray duty to
state my case. My catarrh, which had troubled
me so long, had began to affect my lanes, and
they pained me very much, especially when I J
coughed or raised np the oaensive discharge
which seemed to so fill np my windpipe and
bronchial tubes, that I found it often difficult-
to breathe. I coughed more or less both day
and night It wonld often hurt me to breathe,
my, breath became short, and 1 felt a tight op
pressive feeline in my lungs. I often felt a
pain in my left side. My food wonld sour on
my stomach, citing me a full, uncomfortable
feeling after eating, with belching ot gas. My
hands and feet were cold and clammy. 1 could
not walk any distance, or np a hill without-
getting out ot breath. I had many other aches
and pains and also suffered from those diseases
peculiar to women. In fact, I grew weaker
and weaker until I felt as if I did not care
whether I lived or died, as I wonld be an in
valid the remainder of my life. I tried several
doctors, but I fonnd no relief. Beading of so
many cures made by the physicians of the"'
Cajtarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, and which
seemed similar to mine, I took throe months'
treatment from these specialists. The result Is

CONSUMPTION,
IN its first stages, can be successfully
checked by the prompt use of Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. Even in the later
periods of that disease, the cough is
wonderfully relievedl-,by this medicine.
" I have used Averts Cherry Pectoral
with the best effect in my practice.
This wonderful preparation once saved
my life. I had a constant cough, night
sweats, was greatly reduced In flesh,
and given up by my physician. One
bottle and a naif of the Pectoral cured
me." A. J. Eidson, M. D., Middleton,
Tennessee.
" Several years ago I was severely ill.
Tho doctors said I was in consumption,
and that they could do nothing for mo,
but advised me, as a last resort, to try
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. After taking
this medicine two or three months I
was cured, and my health remains good
to the present day." James Birchard,
Darien, Conn.
" Several years ago, on a passage homo
from California, by water, I contracted
so severe a cold that for some days I
was confined tp my state-room, and a
physician on board considered my life
in danger. Happening to have a bottle
of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, I used it
freely, and my lungs were soon restored
to a healthy condition. Since then I
have invariably recommended this prep
aration." J. B. Chandler, Junction, Va.

BILLED FOR
KAUFMANNS'
EIGHT DOLLARS AND
MEN'S SUITS and OVERCOATS
THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD AT
$12, $13, $14 and $15.
At no time or place has fine, stylish Clothing been offered at such a re
markably low price. There's nothing in selling cheap clothing, but when
it comes to selling clothing cheap this offer simply knocks the spot3
off any similar closing out or sacrifice sale ever known the country over
For, bear this fact in mind, the goods offered at $8 88 are the most de.
sirable in our store. Most of them are made of stylish, medium weight
materials that are just the proper thing for fall wear. For your as well
as our convenience we have placed all these fine Overcoats together in
one lot (Suits ditto) and you can come in any day this week and take
your choice for $8 88. If you are shrewd, yon will improve the oppor
tunity by coming as early as possible. The best things always go to
those who come first, and this sale will be no exception to the rule.
IN OUB BOYS' DEPARTMENT
An equally good offer awaits purchasers of Boys' Clothing. Hundreds
of Boys' nobby, new and elegant Suits and Overcoats which are
WELL WORTH $5, $5 25 AND $5 50,
WILL BE CLOSED OUT THIS WEEK AT
M.vjo
THREE DOLLARS
AND 33c,
Mothers, this is a chance you should avail yourselves of. It's just
about like buying gold dollars for sixty cents. And the best of it is that
every one of these iioy's Suits or Overcoats is made according to the
latest prevailing fashion and of extra good and substantial materials.
All these1 goods have been put together on special counters so as to
enable you to look them over without any trouble.
OUR VAST CLOAK PARLORS
Are not a bit too large, considering the crowds of ladies that
thronged this very popular place all last week. Our
HALF PRIGE FOR EVERYTHING
Offer caused many a lady, who had no intention of buying, to change
her mind and get one of our celebrated Berlin tailor-made Newmarkets,
Parisian Wraps or English Seal Plush Sacques or Jackets. The same
offer will continue until every garment has been sold, for we are de
termined not to carry anything over.
THOSE LADIES' JERSEY SUITS!
Over 6,000 sold during the past two weeks.
No lady should be without one, for they are the best, most genteel
and comfortable dresses ever sold at such low prices. They come in two
qualities which we sell at $2 75 and 4 respectively. They are more
serviceable than many dresses for which you have paid from $& to $12.
Don't look elsewhere for these goods, for you can't find them. The
manufacturer, knowing and appreciating our large outlet, has given us
