Florida property owners, object-
ing to tho building of a railroad,have

Ax interesting advortiscniont in

of "a lady of titlo and the highest

It is observed that the steamship
companies engaged in bringing thou-
sands upon thousands of undesirable
•immigrants to this country every
year, aro quite aetivo in circulating
jlho story that they are carrying
more pooplo back than they bring

to allay an opposition to thoir busi-
ness, which opposition is becoming
more and more formidable. The fig-
ures of the returning Europeans aro

A resolution in favor of birching
bad boys instead of sending them to
prison has been sent to tho British
home secretary signed by a number
of magistrates. The proposition is
to birch boys under sixtoon for all
offenses, at tho discretion of tho
magistrate. The judicious use of
tho birch, it is belioved, would not
only have a more salutary effect,
but would save the boys from acquir-
ing tho prison taint, losing their
dread of tho prisou and sinking
deeper into erimo.
It is said that great consignments
of the little Florida lizards which
were originally sent to New York
have been received in Montreal. If
this is so it is bad for thos > harm-
less but persecuted little animals,
for a Montreal judge has decided
that the society with the long name
has no jurisdiction over animals
other than domestic ones. Apart
from the 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
the graveyards and moss-banked
swamps of Florida is great.

(A11 over the continent the coming of

abroad to spend money made here
ought to be made more unpopular
than it is. We complain of Chinese

homes after they have made a for-
tune here; but Americans who yearly
go to Kurope to do the same thing
have less excuse than have foreign-
ers, because tho ties of patriotism do
not bind the latter as they should

Why should every passenger in a

man with the nerve to draw a bead.

WANitiM. row March 7.—The Wilson
tariff hill was the subject of an earn-
est consultation anions the senators
yesterday. It has reached a certain
ftta^re of completeness, and yet may l e
thrown out of gear by a single article.
That article is sugar, and it was gen-
erally understood that if a definite
agreement could be reached on this
article it would then be possible to
agree upon everything else, and
that the hill could be reported
without delay. Secretary far-
lisle was with the members
of the committee most of the day, and
met with them lust evening to discuss
and compare changes. But while
these concessions have been made, and
the members of the finance committee
and the objecting senators have found
a middle ground, there yet remains
the matter of sugar, and the difficul-
ties surrounding an agreement upon
this are the greatest that the tariff
makers have to contend with. Tho
Louisiana senators have one plan
which d<h's not ineet with favor by the
refiners.
The plan f the refiners is objeetion-
ab'e to the Louisiana senators. A
suggestion has been made that an ad
valorem tax be laid and the refiners
say this would uftord them no protec-
tion. Some senators, looking towards
concessions, have said that if an ad
valorem rate is not just to the refiners
a differential would be made in their
favor. This is stubbornly resisted by
those who claim that an ail valorem
rate would afford them ti just protec-
tion, as the higher price of refined
sugar would necessitate a greater tax
when imported than the raw sugars.
It appears also that the proposition
for an increased tax on whisky is
mixed up w ith the proposed duty on
sugar.
if the latter is agreed to, the
necessity for an increased whisky tax
disappears. Kor this reason those who
have been insisting upon increase in
the whisky tax are not favorable to a
sugar tax.

St. JoMKrn, Mo., March 7.—A dis-
patch from Forbes, Mo., a small town

and in some others gained slightly in
eouncilinen. Their largest gain was
in Iowa City, where they carried
every ward but one

Yocngbtown, Ohio, March 7.—At
noon to-day, the Youngstown Electric
Street Railway company, which has
been tied up bv a strike since Sunday
morning, ran out its first car with a
non-union crew. The streets were
crowded by thousands of idle men,
who jeered the crew, and, in the pub-
lic square, made a rush for llic car
and broke every pane of glass.
A moment later a dynamite cart-
ridge was exploded by sympathizers
of the strikers. It injured no one,
and was merely intended to intimi-
date the non-union men who had
taken the plsce of the strikers.
A second car was run out of the
barns shortly ufter noon and received
similar treatment as the first,
the windows being demolished by
stones thrown by the strikers or their
sympathizers.
At J o'clock the company deeided to
abandon the attempt to run ears for
the present and the remains of the
two ears that had been started out
were returned to the barns.

BIG EXCITEMENT ON WALL STREET.

Satisfactory Sugar Duties, llut

Against Other Trust*,
Nkw Vokk, March 7.—Accompanied
by excitement which has not been ex-
perienced by the stock exchange in
many months. Sugar trust stock
jumped up some twelve points, broke
nine ami rallied five this morning.
The movement to put up Sugar on the
shorts was very carefully manipulated
by broker-, for James R. Keene. Large
buying orders were distributed
throughout the Sugar pool and as the
price moved up a number of buying
stop orders were uncovered which
sent the figures up 1 and J per cent at
a jump until 100 was reached. Then
the figures receded as rapidly to til
and rallied to 1)5%.
I p to noon to-doy the sale of sugar
stocks had reached the enormous total
of 100,400 shi res and it is reported on
the street that a private settlement
was forced on a short contract for
000 shares at the top figure of the
morning 100. It was to corner these
belated shorts that this morning's
drive was made, and there was noth-
ing for those wh > had sold what they
had not. but to go into the market,
buy and deliver, or make terras to be
dictated by the purchasers.
After It) o'clock Sugar broke 2.U to
03'.j, rallied V£, sold down to U'J:<4 and
recovered to 93. The preferred sold
off to MO ;. The speculation in tho
shares is steadying gradually and has
lost the greater part of the feverish*
ness which has characterized the deal-
ings therein.
The Evening Post tells of the excite-
ment as follows:
There was evidence on the market
this morning of some very remarkable
manipulation of the "news'' from
Washington about the senate's inten-
tions with respect to the tax on sugar.
Between 10 o'clock, when business
opened, and 11:30 about 100.000 shares
changed hands, und during these deal-
ings the price of the certificates
moved or rather rushed from 88 to 100,
turning at par and receding as rapidly
as they had advanced to 02. After
another upward spurt the price seemed
to stand about 93. The excitement
attending these extraordinary sales
was intense and the dealings as re-
flected in the quotations most ir-
regular. For awhile all the business
seemed at a standstill. At one time
for instance, the tape recorded eleven
different prices for Sugar, showing a
variation of three points while frac-
tional lots, .sold simultaneously with
full lots, were frequently three above
the price of the latter. The excite-
ment during the greater rush was so
great that comparatively little stock
changed hands at extreme figures.
At the round 100, the sales were 400
certificates. Most of the sales were
between 05 and 93 at which prices the
amount dealt in was enormous.
Httremyer Sees Certain Senators.
Washington, March 7. The Wash-
ington Star of yesterday said in ex-
planation of the sudden jump in Sugar
stock:
Last night Mr. Havemyer had a con*
ference with Senators (Jorman and
Smith and some of the members of
the finance committee and it is stated
that an agreement was reached by
which the Sugar trust was not only
not to oppose the tariff bill but to as-
sist in its passage. It is not to be pre-
sumed that the Iron trust or the Coal
trust or the other trusts, through their
able representatives on the floor of the
senate were less persistent. Perhaps
the senate of the United States was
enabled to have them also agree, not
only not to oppose the tariff bill but
to assist in its passage.
It is said that Mr. Ilavemyer was
promised forty per cent on raw sugar
unci a differentiation in favor of the
refined sugar to the amount of a quar-
ter of a cent. This would be equal to
about a cent and a quarter on raw
sugar and a cent and a half on refined.
With this inside information of the
probable action of the committee, the
Sugar trust people were enabled to
make a very handsome fortune by one
day's manipulation of stocks. The
representatives of the various trusts
are very much better satisfied with
the bill now than they were when it
came from the house.
HER RUINED LIFE ENDED.
The Runaway Daughter of a Wealthy
Alabama Man illordered In a Tent-
Pekry, Ok., March 7.—After several

woman was highly educated.

Washington, March 7.—The decision

tice Field. This was a suit for eject-
ment. one of the principal questions
being whether lands occupied by the
Osage Indians were included in the

that they cainc under the reservations
in the grant.

A deputation of extreme radicals
headed by Mr. Labouchcre waited on
Kdwurd Slnjoribanks. the liberal whip
yesterday, and protested against the
selection of Lord Rosobery as premier,
declaring that if the premier was not
chosen from among the commoners,
they would leave the liberal party.
They expressed their high regard for
the character, talents and services of
Lord Koselwry and the other peers
who have been mentioned for the
premiership, but said that their atti-
tude was based upon political and not
personal grounds.
Some of the men in the deputation
incidentally mentioned Sir William
liarcourt as a man who commanded
their confidence, but added that they
had no desire to hamper the choice of
a premier or to advocate tho claims
of any particular statesman.
THE POPE'S BIRTHDAY.
I.eo XIII Reeeives Congratulation*) and
Itaki'R a llrief Addreiut of Adtiee.
Romk, March 3.—The pope today
celebrated his 84th birthday and the
sixteenth anniversary of his corona-
tion. Cardinal Kaifaelo Monaco la
Valette, on behalf of the sacred col-
lege offered congratulations and the
pope, who was in good health, ex-
pressed his thank# and continued:
We are in the decline of life, but
shall continue to the last day of our
life to devote ourself to making tho
benficent action of the ehurcu uni-
versally felt.
The need of this is great, for all
conceptions of history, justice, au-
thority. liberty, social rights and
social duties, have been overthrown,
the church must seek to recall th#
nations to the principles of moral
faith, point out the causes of
the existing evils, denounce the
designs of Free Masonry, imbue
tho different classes of society with a
feeling of equity and charity, inspire
rulers with rectitude and the governed
with submission and instill in all ardor
for peace. It is for the church to re-
vive study in accordance with the dic-
tates of Christian wisdom, as advised
in the recent encyclical in the opera-
tion of the scripture.
We pray the germs sown by the
action of the church may bring forth
abundant harvest. In token whereof
we give you our benediction.
