about with cheering allegation

his act a gleam of reason
reprehensible. He knew enough

FioRii'A property owners, object-
ing to the building of a railroad,have
chivalrously planted tho soil with

the general choice in favor of the
latter course.
As Australian murderess, who
towed her farm with babies and
reaped tho gallows, announced with

As interesting advertisement in
one of the New York papers is that
of "a lady of title and the highest
social position in England," who "is
desirous of meeting a young Amet i-
can lady of wealth with a view of
chaperoning her during tho coming
London season and introducing her
to the best society. The highest
references are given and required

London, March .3—Uuring the course
of yesterday'® session of the house of
commons the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
announced that the government had
no information which would lead it to
believe that any government desired
a reassembling of the monetary con
fere nee. The British government, he
added, did not intend to make such a
proposal as it saw no advantage in it.
Washington. March 2.—None of the
silver men in the house of representa-
tives expressed any surprise when in-
formed of the discouraging remarks of
the British chancellor of the ex-
hequer. Sir Vernon Harcourt, wn the
outlook of the reassembling of the
monetary conference.
Representative McCreary of Ken-
tucky. who was a delegate from the
nited States to the conference, said:
The outlook does not indicate that
n international conference would be
leld this year. There is, however, a
growing feeling in Europe in favor of
the enlarged use of silver. I believe
there will be after a while such a de-
mand for international bimetallism
hat another conference must be held
at Paris or Brussels. But it is prob-
ably impossible that it can assemble
until several leading, countries of
Europe indicate a desire for the con-
ference."
Representative Newlands of Neva-
da, said that he had no expectation
that England would move for a reas-
sembling of the conference while the
Liberals remain in power. If the con-
servatives could secure control, he
would consider the prospects brighter
for an international agreement, since
Balfour and tether prominent men of
that party were favorable to silver.
He was confident that under this ad-
ministration. the initiative would not
be taken by the United States.
Senator Allison, another delegate to
the last conference, said that he had
known all the time that the United
States would not propose another con-
ference.
Representative Bland said that the
action of England was immaterial, lie
believed the United States should
stand on its own feet. "1 never took
any stock in this international busi-
ness," he added. "1 believe it is all
humbug."

A resolution in favor of birching
bad boys instead of Bonding them to
prison has been sent to the British
home secretary signed by a number
of magistrates. Tho proposition is
to birc-b boys under sixteen for all
offenses, at tho discretion of tho
magistrate. The judicious use of
the birch, it is believed, would not
only have a more salutary effect,
but would save the boys from acquir-
ing the prison taint, losing thcii
dread of tho prison and sinking
deeper into crime.
' It is said that great consignments

that the society with the long name
has no jurisdiction over animals
other than domestic ones. Apart
from tho cruelty of confining tho
lizards it is a heartless proceeding
to expose them to the frigid blasts
that hold Montreal captive at this
time of the year. The change from

All over tho continent the coming of

ought to bo made more unpopular

go to Europe to do tho same thing
have less excuse than have foreign-

KnnitnN Senator Against F
ami for Sugar llounty or T
Washington, March 3. — Senator
PcfTer has given out for publication
his attitude with regard to the Wilson
bill. He formally says: "I am per
feetly willing to announce my inten-
tions as to the tariff bill. All I want
is to be treated fairly. I con-
sider that it would be unfair for
the bill to put wool on the free list
and yet to levy a tax upon manufac-
tured articles. If this should be done
I must antagonize the bill. 1 want to
see the bounty on sugar retained and
that article placed on the free list. I
think that the bounty law ought to be
allowed to go to its completion and
the provisions of the MeKinley act in
this respect to be carried to their con-
clusion. We have promised aM>ounty
to the sugar growers and we should
pay it. To discontinue the bounty
now would seriously cripple ov.r beet
sugar industry in the West and 1 do
not think that it will be fair to those
people. 1 was one of the original ad-
oeatcs of a bounty on sugar with
the view of ultimately making abso-
lutely f*ee *ugw 1 think that isa
perfectly proper plan that can be car-
ried into eftect. Now 1 should have
to antagonize the bill if it places sugar
on the free list and removes the boun-
v without placing manufactured arti-
cles on the free 1 ist. I should light it
because of its discrimination against
us and because it is unfair. I do not
pretend to be any more fair than any
neelse, but I want my people to be
treated fairly. That is exactly my
position." _____
Mr. <iro\v Sworn In.
Washington, Mar h 3.—When the
house met to-day Mr. Bankhead,
chairman of the committee on public
buildings, offered a resolution for the
appointment of a sub-committee to
investigate the Chicago postoffice
building with a view t determining
the question of its safety, etc. He
plained the pressing necessity tor ex-
amination. The resolution was passed.
Mr. Kilgore then presented his res
olution calling upon the sergeant-at-
arms for his reasons for no- carrying
out the provisions of the law, which
require that he deduct from the sal-
aries of the members for such time as
they are absent. It was referred.
Mr. McKea called up from the com-
mittee on pr.Mie lands the bill which
has been before several previous con-
gresses to provide for the opening of
certain abandoned military reserva-
tions. Mr. Savers, chairman of the
appropriation committee, raised the
Question of consideration a] a nst but
the house decided to go on with the
bill, after Mr. tirow had been sworn

ropullsta ami the Tariff.
Washington, March 3. The Demo-
cratic members of the senate com-
mittee on finance resumed their sit-
tings as a body. It di v 'oped that the
attitude of the Populist senators with
reference to the tariff bill was dis-
cussed in caucus The Democrats have
enough votes to pass the bill if the
| solid Democratic vet. can bo retained.
But if there should be a break in the
ranks, the Populists have been countr
and by this her action w ill be guided
in the future. Stripped of all tech-
nical phrase*, the opinion is as follows:
The fact of Miss Maokay's ninrriaj. e
to the prince did not cause her to lose
her American citizenship, becaus she
did not become naturalized in Italy.
It will only be necessary for her to re-
main one year in California before she
can apply for a divorce. If the prin-
cess had secured a divorce in Paris it
would not have been recognized in
Italy, because the French court could*
not acquire jurisdiction over t he prince.
No detail was omitted that would
guarantee the safe conduct of the
princess and her children to < alifornja.

Evidence of Ilrutal Treatment at Kansas
City's Poor Farm.
Kansas Citv, Mo., March 3.—The
horribly bruised body of Stuat (.
Palmer, once a well-to-do publisher of
this city, was brought to Kansas City
last night from the poor farm grave-
yard where it had been buried with-
out the knowledge of the dead man s
family.
The coroner made an examination
this afternoon. The body is in a shock-
ing condition, although in a good state
of preservation. On it are great
bruises, which Coroner Langsdale says
without a doubt were inflicted before
death.
Ex-Humane Officer T. S. McMillan,
who secured Mr. Palmers admission
to the poor farm, went to Little Blue
yesterday for the purpose of bringing
back the body to Kansas City. He
says that he has evidence that the
most shocking brutalities were in-
tlicted on the dead man. So strong
was his conviction that he set on foot
an investigation and demand the im-
mediate discharge of several of the
guards. * •
{Superintendent Hudspeth of the
poor farm denied the accusations, but
finally yielded and Albert Flaev, a
guard in charge of the men s ward of
the institution, McMillan says,
tariff. forthwith dismissed.
There is scarcely a spot on his body
Wool ns large as a man's hand which has
not got a bruise. Directly over the
heart is a long, narrow discoloration
which might have been caused by a
blow from a heavy piece of board.
The right hip is terribly mutilated.
It presents the anpearanee of having
been pounded. On the forehead there
is an ugly contusion. All the skin
has been torn from one knee, exposing
the flesh.

During the argument Judge Jenkins

which prohibits them from conferring
