Rochester, Pa., July 19. The state ment published in this morning's Dis rATCH that Senator Quay was likely to re sign irom the Chairmanship of the National .Republican Executixe Committee created a great deal cf interest in this vicinity, where the Senator is so veil known personally. In order to get something authentic from the gentleman himself, your correspondent drove out to his handsome residence to night, it being known Mr. Quay was at home, intending to remain for several days, if not longer. The Senator willingly conceded an ad mittance, but an interview from him seemed quite another matter. He was found in his library, his fuvorlte resort when at home, but the piles of letters and papers about the library desk showed tliat he passed anything but a restful Sunday. "Mr. Quay," queried the interviewer, "have you read the morning papers?" The Senator nodded a pleasant assent. "Did you read the article from Phila delphia stilting that you intended resigning from the Chairmanship of the National Committee?" The Senator smiled. "What have you to say in regard to the statement?" flatly asked tho reporter. Probable, but Not Certain. "Well, I have this," answered the Sen ator pleasantly. "It is probable, but not certain, that I will resign the chairmanship cf the Executive Committee on the 29th." Tfii'. was all theSenatorJiad to My, and he would hazard no opinion as to whether Gen eral Clarksou would be his successor or not, nor xi ould he say for what purpose the meet ing of tho Executive Committee had been called in Philadelphia on the 29th. A dispatch from Baltimore B3ys: Senator Gorman's determination not to take charge of the National Democratic campaign was arrived at after mature deliberation and after a consulation with other party leaders in this State. An Alliance craze has taken possession of some ol the lower counties and it will require the master hand of the Mary land Senator to prevent the Democratic thip of Etate from colliding with the rudder less craft set afloat by Jerry Simpson's disciples. t&The present condition of affairs is due to the work of aspirants for office, who, with a view of booming their candidacy, have in fluenced the granger element. Now that they find the moxementhas gotten "beyond their control they call on the leader who has so often helped them out of trouble to come again to the rescue. The Mugwumps Also Appeal. The appeal comes not only from the regu lar Democracy, but from the Bo-called Inde pendents or Mugwumps, who realize the danger of a Fanners' Alliance gov ernment, and who, for once, will work hand in hand with the men they liaxc fought, and under the leadership of the man they have villifiod and abused. They appreciate the fact that in conducting the campaign Senator Gorman is not help ing himself in the least; on the contrary, he may incur the enmity of people who have hitherto been among his stanchest friends, for all Democrats, regardless of affiliations, La e openly declared that no matter what should be the result, Mr. Gorman is to suc ceedjhimsell as United States Senator. So fur as Senator Gorman is concerned, therefore, he is safe enough, but the trouble is feared in tho selection of the late Senator "Wilson's successor. The latter must come from the Eatern Shore, and in this section the Farmers' Alliance movement is strong est. Should, thtrelore, the Grangers suc ceed iu carrying a majority of the Eastern Shore counties, and ex en conceding that all of these shall be Democrats, the name they may present might not be acceptable to the city and "Western Shore men, who are opposed to Alliance principles, and then there would be trouble. Southern Democrats Are Not Particularly Anxious for Him The Senator Explains How This Country Can Wrett-Flnancial Supremacy of the "World From England. "Washington, July 19. Senator Mor gan has just reached Washington from his home in Alabama, and talks freely about political topics and the impressions he has gathered during his stay in the South, where he has been ever since the adjourn ment of Congress. He doesn't believo Cleveland will be nominated. "There is," he says, "an earnest and patriotic feeling among tho people of the South in regard to tho Presidental campaign next year. They feel grateful to Mr. Cleveland for having giveu them a chance for the wonderful pros perity that they are now developing. They have perfect confidence in his integrity and in his fidelity l3 Democratic principles and policies, and they are proud of his adminis tration. "Secretary Foster," he said, "was very fortunate in having had the advantage of "a Democratic idea injected into the silver bill bv Senator Beck, by which ha had been en abled to increase tne amount of availablo money in the Treasury to the fall extent of all the available money that may be lonnd there. Senator Sherman seems to be grate ful to everybody but himself for having found a plan to extricate the Republicans from their dilemma, and is disposed now to express hisappreciation of the very coin cer tificate against which he labored so earnestly and for so long a time. "This coin certificate wilLne'ver be dis pensed with in our financial system here after. I do not see, when we produce 5100,000,000 a year of precious metals, one third of which is gold, why we cannot ac cumulate coin in the Treasury almost to any extent that we desire, and issue coin cer tificates representing dollar for dollar into the hands of the people. In ten vears that sum would amount to $1,000,000,000. "Very few of the certificates would ever be presented for redemption in metal if the people knew the metal was in the Treasury, and just think what a great power tne United States would be with $1,000,000,000 in reserve. This country would become the clearing house for the world and wrest from England the financial leadership which she has held for centuries." tin unusually long time on the business of the company without reporting regularly, but not so long as it is stated. In four weeks he has wired the-company, four times, and Saturday evening he sent from East New York a telegram announcing that he would be at tho office of the company on Tuesday. My son Martin is not a de faulter for a cent, and the suggestion about there being a woman in it is altogether-sensational. But of this feature of the story I do not care to talk. If the boy is like his father, he may be susceptible, but he is not dishonest. He is the third largest owner in his own right of the stooks of the com pany, and he is not stupid enough to run awav to Brooklyn with his own money." Ex-Governor Waller left this eveningfor Hew York and will be at his office, 15 Wall street, Monday morning. BISKS ABE PLENTIFUL. AT WAGNER'S SHRINE. BIG INCREASE IN INSURANCE -POLICIES IN THIS STATE.

"now a Jeweler "Was Hoodwinked by a Couple of Customers. Next York, July 19. Robert Howe, a young bookmaker's clerk, has been arrested on a charge of stealing a 510,000 case of dia monds from the jewelry establishment of Carl "Wernicke. The robbery occurred on February 6 last, and the police have been working on the case constantly. On that date Howe, or a man who x ery closely re sembles him, called at the jewelrv store with a hadsomely dressed woman, who said she wanted to purchase some diamonds. The couple had visited the store twice before and had made a few purchases, so that every ulicumuu was jihiu 10 mem. wnue tne xvoman was examining some things the man xralked about the store and finally went out for a cigar. He returned in five minutes and the woman, who had decided to make no pur chase, went out with him. The tray of dia monds xvas immediately missed and it was remembered that the man's overcoat bulged at the breast when we went out for his cigar. The couple had said their names were Deford, but this was found to be false, and detectives traced them to the Hotel Metropole, where he had been living with two women under the name of Howell. Before they could make an nrrest the parties cleared out and it was not until Friday night that thev came urjon Howe in Broadway. He answered the description of the thief and they took him in. He was remanded to the "custody of Inspector Byrnes and now detectives are looking for the women in the case. of life companies in Pennsvl vania, $12,810,819 IS; total premium receipts of lix o companies, $15,030 901 18.

The Bayreuth performance always begins at 4in the afternoonandlasts-tillaboutlO, withtwo one-hour intermissions for rest and supper. Accordingly, this afternoon at 3 a proces sion of-carriages and pedestrians lined all the way from the town to the hilltop, where J the Wagner Theater is situated conspicu ously, commanding o-fine view of mountain scenery. Scores of carriages had to be brought-over from the neighboring city of Nuremberg for the festival weeks, and an express train leaves Bayreuth for Nurem berg after every performance. The question Is constantly asked xvhy Wagner-chose a small country town xvith -such insufficient accommodations for his festivals, instead of a capital like Munich or Berlin. The superb location partly answers this question, but "Wagner had other reasons. In a large city there are 1,000 counter currents of business and pleas ure, while at Bayreuth the festival is every thing and the appetite remains fresh for the musical feast. Twenty years ago Baden Baden offered Wagner a charming free site for a theater, but he preferred Bayreuth, becauso it lay in the domains of his genei ous patron, King Ludwig; and here he could carry out his ideals in every detail.?

His task is not an easy one, but so implicit is the confidence reposed in him that no fears are entertained as to the re sult. The State convention will be held on July CO, xrhen candidates for Governor, Comptroller, Attonicv General and Clerk of the Court of Appeals are to be selected. The Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Police Commissioners and other officers will be chosen by the Legislature. According to his promise Senator Gorman has kept his hands off, his influence not hav ing been exerted in behalf of any candidate. Frank Brown, late postmaster of Baltimore, appears to hate made the strongest fight for Governor, his candidacy being indorsed by nearly every county in the -State. The city, it is well known, prelerred ex Mayor James Hodges, but the counties have a majority, and so Mr. Brown xvill be the Democratic standard bearer.

"While seining in the Tennessee river near Murray yesterday, Ed Brown, "Walter Strader, John Meador, Dick Eaves and John T. Brame were drowned. The party numbered eight They ilea one ena oi tneir seme, 75 ieet long, to the bank and stretched the netting nearly straight out into the river. Stationed at iuterxals near the outer end the eight men with only shoes, hats and coats off, swam xrith the seine poles toward the shore. None of them were well acquainted xvith the river at that point, and they swam into a swift cold current. Suddenly one was seized xvith cramps. A panic followed. The seine was dragged and Brame, Brown end Strader became en tangled in it. Meador and Eaxes xvere swept under by the current xhile the other three succeeded in reaching the bank. All the meu drowned were well-known citizens near Murray, belonging to old families in the county. Brame mox-ed there two years ago from near Hopkiusville.

Eaves and Meador have not been founi St. Louis Society People to Be Married in a Chicago Hotel. Chicago, July 19. The monotony of hotel life will probably be pleasantly in terrupted at the Leland to-ihorrow morning by the marriage of Dr. L. B. Eherman and Miss Adelia Crofton, both prominent resi dents of St. Louis. "The marriage hinges altogether on the result of my conference with Dr. Joseph BeiUy," said Dr. L. P. Eherman at the hotel to-night. "Dr. Beilly is an old college chum of mine. "We have been interested in many transactions. If the matter does not go through there will be no marriage." As yet the St. Louis physician has been unsuccessful in his ef forts to secure a license. Dr. Eherman arrived here on July 15, and, faUing ill, telegraphed for Miss Crof ton, who left home hurriedly, not even waiting to take her baggage. This hasty departure gave rise to rumors of an elope ment. As might have been expected, the gossippers were at fault, as Dr. Eherman and Miss Crofton have been engaged for over a year. Miss Adelia Crofton resides with her mother in St. Louis and is quite a favorite in society in that city. POOEIITTLE BABE!

The bodies were found early this morning off Poplar street wharf by txvo policemen. An examination of the bodies snowed that Mrs. Kramer had used several yards of twine and a number of safety pins infastening the baby's body to her own, making it a prisoner beyond the possibility of escape. At the " morgue, Charles Kramer.living at 1339 Crease street, a driver, identified the bodies as those of his xvife and baby. His wife disappeared last night and he had been searching for her. The baby, he said, bore a very striking re semblance to the mother and was a cripple. His wife was always worrying over its de tormity. HAPPY PAPA CAVANAGH. The Priest "Who Christened His Triplets Says He Deserves a Pension. tSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISP-ATCn.1 Philadelphia, July 19. The triplets of the Third xvard xvere christened at St. Paul's lloman- Catholic Church after vespers this afternoon, and they were the center of attraction for a big assemblage of delighted women and astonished men, while good Father "Walter Gough, who performed the ceremony, told the nappy parent that he ought to have a pension. Papa Cava nagh blushed and smiled at the compliment from the priest, and Godfather James Brodie seconded it with a slap- on papa Cavanagh's back. The triplets came to town on the 3d of the present month. They weigh 20 I pounds among them and each one of them they are all girls is sound aud healthy. surprise and xvas really due to the fact that tne llgnting arrangements nau not yet been perfected for lack of time. A want of means also caused sceuio shortcomings in "Kheingold,"but in "Parsifal" everything is perfect. Here .there are no flimsy make shifts, but the sky above, and even the grassy meadow on which the aotors walk are painted with a realism that results in complete illusion; and the transformation scene; where Parsifal and 6irnananz appar ently walk through the changing scenery, is a marvel of stage mechanism. An Inspiration for Artists. The processions and the gradual glowing of the Holy Cup, ns the King holds it in his hands, are like canvases of the old religious masters, that, like Galetea, have come to life. To wonder that Wagner's stage scenes have inspired eminent German artists to point to some of their best pictures, as Wsgnp r'sface inspired Hubcrt-JIerkomt TofJafnt one' of his bes'. portraits. As regards the music of "Parsifal," I have come to the conclusion, hearing it seven times at three festivals, that it is not only the most marvelously constructed score in existence, but that in it Wagner's ideal union of music, poetry, action and scenic or pictorial effect comes nearer per fect realization than even in "Siegfried." Never was his imagination more creative than xvhen he penned "Parsifal"' at the at?o of 67; and the song of the flower maidens is still as fresh and spontaneous as that of tha sirens in "Tannhauser," and of"the Ehine maidens in the "Trilogy." Unity of Music nnd Action. How marvelously the action heightens the power of the music, too, is strikingly shown in the soene where the wizard, Klxngsor, hurls his spear at Parsifal. As it flies through the air the orchestra is hushed, except the harps, which play a rapid glissondo up through three octaves. In the concert hall this would seem an ord inary trick of virtuosity, while here every one is thrilled by the appropriateness of the musical accompaniment to the flyiDg spear. In one respect this year's performance is better than ever. The chimes from the in visible Grailsburg have hitherto been disap pointing; they were too high and not in tune. Now they have a fine effect; they are solemn nnd deep, and carry out in full the intentions of the 'composer. The tones are produced by a union of tamtams, piano strings and metal bars. In the second act there were fears about the flower girls. There were 30 of them, and 15, xvho had been selected for their exceeding beauty of face and form, had never been on the stage before. It will relieve all anxiety at once to-say that they were successful. Van Dyck's Superb FarslfaL Indeed, it would have been strange if1 they had not been inspired by such a hand some, fascinating Parsifal as Van Dyck. He xvas appropriately youtniui in appearance, and his face was a mirror of refined emo tion. He was in splendid voice; his action was eloquent, and, although a Belgian, he enunciated the German xvith marvelous distinctness. Every tone and gesture proved him a born opera singer. He could not help going on the stage, although it was against the xvishes of wealthy parents. The cast was uniformly excellent. Scheidemantel, the baritone, as Gurnemanz, was quite equal to Iteichmann, and Liepe and Grengg were good in their respective parts. It was difficult to prevent applause, which still is rigorously prohibited at Bay reuth. So the performance was heard in a silence which made some of the musical passages overpowering in their intensity. Half of, at least, the German portion of the audience were in tears, mercifully concealed by the mystio gloom iu which the audito rium is kept, and this subdued darkness im measurably heightened the scenic effects, which were thrilling in their realistic beauty. Listened to With Devotion. It is needless to say that the long xvork xvas listened to by all with something akin to devotion. To those who have only heard the performance of fragments in a concert room it was a revelation. The strained atti tude of attention was most agreeably re lieved by the intermissions of an hour be tween each act, when the excited audience poured out of the theater into the adjoining gardens and gave expression to their pent up emotions, while restoring nature with copiuous drafts of tho best beer in Ger many. It w as on these pleasant occasions that I could see among the well known Americans present, the Hon. Carl Schurz, Alexander Mackenzie, Walter Damrosch, Conductor Nikisch, Otto Florsheim, of the Musical Courier, Mrs. Schirmer, Henry Krehbiel, of the New York Tribune; W. "Von Sachs, Prof. Wolfssohn, and Mr. Arnold and a hundred others. Berurn to Liverpool In a Shocking Miserable Plight. London, July 19.

Comte De Hanssenvilie, a representative of the Comte De Paris, speaking at Toulousea, attacked Cardinal Laxrigerie's movements in support of the Bepublic. He said that clericals desirous of forming a Catholic Republican party were victims of an illusion. Tolerant Republicans existed, but the Government could not get rid of the -past. The watchword of the French Republic was now, as it always had been, "War against religion." It was not his place to lay down a line ofconduct for the clergy; but the policy of Cardinal Laxrigerie xvas not the best xvay-of defending the interests, of the Church. FKANCE WILL EXHIBIT.

The Governor was censured for taking an armed force to assist in the work of intimi dation and opposing the miners, and the militia was condemned, the opinion being expressed that all laboring men, union or non-union, in their ranks return home, as they are acting contrary to every dictate and impulse that should exist in the hearts of fair and honest working citizens. The meeting furtherpassed resolutions indorsing the miners, and condemning the authorities and mine owners. H. H. Schwartz, the Chairman of the Executive Committee, was sent to Briceville to present the resolutions and state the feeling existing here. A committee will also forxvard to the Gov ernor a petition asking him to call a special meeting of the Legislature to consider the convict and lease system. STREET CAB STRIKE SETTLED. TSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH.l Hanover, N. H., July 19. This has 'been a strange Sunday for this quiet .New Hampshire town. The talk has been of bloodshed andjyncning, and a large portion of the able-bodied men are scouring tho woods, guns and revolvers in hand, looking for murderer Almv. At th Warden farm house the disfigured body of the beautiful' vurisue waraen is laid out lor burial. The unwonted excitement caused by the assassination of Miss Warden late on Fri day night shows no signs of abating, nor will it die out until the murderer is cap tured. The investigation which has been made shows that the crime was carefully planned. The ambush and the avenue of escape xvere selected long before the fatal I shots were, fired. The little party of women were wenmng tneir way nomeward. 'J.ney had just left the town and had stepped from the open road into a dark ravine cov ered by trees. The change from bright moonlight to intense darkness blinded the women for a minute, and it was while they were thus groping their xvay along that a man glided stealthily into the roadxvay and uiuckcu taeir passage, rseiore tney naa re covered from their sudden fright the man spoke and they recognized the voice. Ordered Her Relatives to Move On. His salutation was this: "Mrs. Warden, ,you and Fanny may move on with safety. I shall not harm you unless you interfere with me, and if you do I wiU shoot you like dogs." Then turning to the sisters behind, the younger of whom he apparently did not recognize, he exclaimed: "Christie, I have come 1,000 miles to meet you, and now your time is short." Then he drew from his breast a revolver, xvhich he cocked. The four women stood petrified, and the stillness was oroKen only ny Almy saying in a cold, harsh voice: "Mrs. Warden, you knoxv me, I believe. I am Frank Almy, and you never knew me to break my word. Move on, or I will shoot; move on, I say!" Mrs. AVarden was dragged away by Miss Goodellj who had accompanied them, leav ing Christie and Fanny with Almy. Christie, up to this time, had been so overpoxvered with fear that she was hardly able to move. She clung tenaciously to her sister, a bright young girl of 17. Almy, hoxvever, lost no time m carrying out his design. He seized Christie by the left shoulder, and, locking his left arm around her neck, he placed the muzzle of his weapon against the breast of her sister and said: "I have hated you. Fan, and unless you let go of Christie I will blow you into eternity." Fanny Told Him to Shoot Her. The girl knew he meant all he said, but ininiving oniy oi ner sister sne answered: "Shoot, then, I will not let her go." What inspired the murderer not to fire his re volver into the body of the girl can only be explained by the fact that her feet struck uneven ground at this moment and she fell, nearly carrying her sister with her. This was Almy's opportunity, and, grasping Christie around the waist, he draggectier io the Lai, which he hod -pieviously lowered, and pulled her over into the brush beyond. Fanny followed close behind, despite Almy's threats to shoot. Meantime Christie had been struggling to escape, and Almy had his hands lull in holding her. Nearly all of her clothing was torn on" in the strug gle. Fanny's presence evidently discon certed the murderer, for ho raised his re volver and fired point-blank at her. The bullet missed its mark and she kept on. Then up the side of a distant hill were heard footsteps. A man was hurrying doxvn evidently in response to the alarm for help, and Fannie thought only of guiding him to the place where her sister had been struck down by her assailant. Gathering her skirts tight around her, the girl ran up to ward the road, again coming in range of Almy's revolver, which he fired twice after her. Assistance Arrives Too late. The man was Emmett Marshal. Fanny intercepted him and led him toward the spot where his sister xvas held by Almy. As tbey approached two more shots were fired. There was a cry of agony, and all was over. Then Marshal saw Almy run up the hill and disappear in a row of under brush. Since then he has not been seen. Almy's infatuation for the young woman xvas known to her parents and to herself. but nobody dreamedfthat he would resort to violence. When he"proposed marriage, and it was learned that Christie disliked nis at tentions he was discharged. That was the 1st of March. Since then he has dogged her footsteps. Mr. Warden's grief at the ..terrible fate of his daughter was piteous to behold, but he is now superintending tne search lor the murderer. His offer of $500 has been sup plemented witn onotner ot equal amount by the town authorities. The whole State has been aroused, and if the murderer is alive it seems as though it was impossible for him to escape. A dispatch from Hartford this afternoon says: This afternoon special constables and Detectives Peck, Hutchinson and Huse arrested at the Hartford Wool Company's hotel a man answering the description of Frank Almy, the murderer of Miss Christie Warden. f through Ohio, have agreed upon a 1 cent rWrTP'Tth't A "RT7I7TTQT7Q per miie rate, and the Transportation uom- i i AJl.XJiJXj,tJlia- J.IUJ.

News has been re ceived in this city of the discovery of an enormous treasure in one of the subterra nean vaults of the old castle of San Antonio at Rio Janeiro, where it had lain hidden since some time in the last century. Before it was converted into a castle, San Antonio was a monastery under the control of the Jesuits, and it was during this period of its history that the treasure is supposed to have been hidden. Underneath the castle are vaults built like the corridors of a mine, and in one of these a large number of cases, chests and bundles xvas discovered. An examination -of the contents of these chests and packages re sulted in a most astonishing discovery. The 112 wooden cases contained gold to the value of about $70,000,000. The consisted of old Portuguese cruzados (ancient milreis worth about 50 cents each), and the accounting of the Treasurer was verified by documents found in the cases. The 26 packages were found'to contain a variety of precious stones, whose value cannot be told, as they have not yet been appraised. The excavations about the castle are not yet finished. Two Employes in a Restaurant Receive 100 Volts Apiece. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TnE DISPATCH. Nexv York, July 19. Patrick Fitzsim mons is a waiter in a restaurant. It is part of his duty as soon as daybreak makes other light unnecessary to extinguish the incan descent electric lamps. The wires of the lamps are led through an old chandelier. The switch by xvhich the lamps are lighted is about six inches from a metal bulb on the lower part of the gas fixtures. Fitzsimmons is not very tall, and in order to reach the switches the lad climbed on a large ice box. He overreached himself and fell against the fixture. His head struck the metal bulb and his figure became rigid. His arms were thrown out spasmodically, and his hands caugnt two wires wiiicn diverged irom the center to different lamps. He was removed to the hospital. When William Head, the day clerk, came on duty at 6 o'clock he mounted the icebox and turned on the lights. He had his face from the sxvitch as he turned round to speak to some one, and incautious ly placed his hand on the metal bulb of the gas fixture. Then he howled and half jumped and half tumbled off his perch. An employe of the company said that the insulation had worn oil the wire and had charged the metal with elec tricity. The maximum voltage was only 100 and that was not enough to hnrt any body. YOUNG JONES' CAREER. rfPXCIAL TELEaiLAH TO THE DISPATCH. Nexv York, July 19. The Congress of the Republic of Venezuela has refused to negotiate- a reciprocity treaty with tha TJnited States upon the terms proposed by the TJnited States Government. The reasons given are that the treaty stipulations would result in a serious loss of revenue to Venezuela without any compensating advantage to her own producers in increased prices for the agricultural products which they would be permitted, under the proposed treaty, to export to the United States free of duty. The statement of the Congress is in answer to a communication dated May 29, from Senor R. Andueza Palaeio, President of Venezuela, in which he requests the advice of the Representatives as to the propriety of negotiating the treaty. The answer of Congress contains a compli ment to Mr. Blaine, an expression of good will toward this country and a hope for future reciprocity upon conditions more ac- " reptable to Venezuela. The reply of Con gress was prepared by a special committee, whose report says among other things: The Reply of Congress. "Only in case of agricultural productions can the Government of the great Republic offer us reciprocity of free admission, inas much as these are the only articles which can enjoy the benefit of her markets against all those articles xvhich we, in exchange, would open our markets to. In view of the fact that we have no manufactured products to enjoy the benefits which their multiple products would enjoy here, it is natural that we should compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two contracting par ties. "On account of the North American products, which xvould secure free importa tion into Venezuela, she would be forced to make up elsewhere nearly 25 per cent of the total amount of her customs revenue, a de ficit which would reach 33 per cent by tha proposed reduction of certain other articles. to 75 per cent of the present duty, as fixed in tho treaty. Yet this wouldn't be the only leakage xvhich our public treasury would undergo by the ratification of this treaty, even if we accepted the theory of the United States of America that the stipulation of reciprocal concessions, determined by pub lic treaties between two nations, does not oblige either to allow the same to other countries who have the right to claim treat ment analogous to that accorded the most favored nation. Looking to Other Sources. "The complete abolition of duties on some North American products, and the notable rebate on others, would completely alienate from our markets the similar products from other sources, which could not compete with these, and consequently would diminish European importations, in order to increase American ones, by which the decrease of the revenues referred to above would become more and more pronounced. Also it is worthy of con sideration that the freedom from duty of our agricultural 'products imported into the United States and thus benefiting the North American consumer, would constitute no material benefit to our producers, inas much as they would enjoy no increase iu the price of their products. "It may be said that the 40 or 50 per cent by which the income of our custom nouses would be diminished, would constitute a positive benefit to the Venezuelan con sumer; but we must bear in mind that if it be true that a rebate of duties on public con sumption should be the permanent tendency of every just and liberal government, it is also true that such measures can't be carried out if found to be incompatible with the unavoidable exigencies of the public service, the credit, the finances, and other vital necessities of the nation."

Washington, July 19. The news of the fatal shooting of Nat Jones, son of United States Senator Jones, of Arkansas, by a school teacher with whom he had a row at Washington, Ark., yesterday, created quite a sensation here to-day. Young Jones was about 24 years old, tall and handsome, but one of the fastest young men about town when he xvas here, as he always xvas during a session of Congress. He more than sustained the old-time reputation of sons of Senators, which had been somewhat languishing of late, by the reason of the apparently com plete reformation of Butler Mahone and the permanent departure for other scenes of young Fair. Jones, unlike the others mentioned,never had any shooting affairs here, but he was always getting into drunken rows with other fast youug men of the "best society."
