President Cleveland's letter puts a stop to the talk that he and Secre- tary Carlisle were and had been negotiating with a syndicate to take bonds. The supreme court of the United States failed to agree on the income tax. Wonder how it will be with the wise men appointed on boundary dis- pute. Congressman Hubbard has intro duced a bill appropriating $25,000 for a post office building at Fulton. It is unnecessary to state theZbill will be consigned to the rag bag. The republican congressmen are a unit on raising taxes, they can do that under cover. But when it comes to financial question and they have to show their hand they do not get together so easy. L. T. Slater, cashier of the First National bank of Taylorville, Ills., committed suicide Friday morning by blowing out his brains. He was 36 years of age and sickness is said to be the cause. The advocates ef the white metal in the senate have attached a free silver rider to the house bond bill, which calls fora fight on the Jehn Sherman side. The senate, the dispatches say, will spend this week discussing the bond bill. There is lots of chin mu- sic wasted in the senate that the peeple pay most dearly for. Henry Bolln, ex city treasurer of Omaha, Neb, who is charged with embezzling one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars of the city’s cash, has been placed in jail. Whenelect- ed two years ago Bolln was consid- ered one of the richest men in the city. He says he does not know what became ot the money, aud that he has not gota dollar.

The senator could not get a majority of the committee to consent to higher duty on sugur, in the interests of the Pacific slope, and thereupon de- clined to support the bill. The re- publicans are perfectly willing to put a tax on lumber and clothing, but draw the line on the breakfast table. In the cne instance the peo- ple pay the tax without direct knowl edge. Inthe case of taxed sugar} they realize the difference between 12 and 18 pounds for the dollar, and it would not bea sagacious political move in the republicans to reduce the pounds of sugar on the eve of a presidential election. Barred Out of Kansas, The supreme court of Kansas up- holds the law against scandalous publications. A test of the law was made the arrest of Jonathan Banks, a newspaper, dealer who was arrested and placed in jail at Leaven- worth in default of bond for $500 for selling the Kansas City Sunday Sun. Banks sought release by habeas corpus proeeedings in the supreme court. The writ applied for was denied by the court and the law upheld. The decision by the court was unanimous, and the opin- ion read by Associate Justice Allen was quite lengthy. The law in Kansas and the law in Missouri in regard to the publishing and disseminating of such publica- tions a8 the Sunday Sun are similar, it being made a felony punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary for not less than two nor more than five years. in A young American woman engaged in missionary work at Van, Turkey, writes to her friends in Massachu- setts that 277 villages in that dis- trict have been plundered by the Turkish fanatics, and that 8000 ref- ugees are in Van to be fed and clothed.

The Sunday Kansas City World contained fifty-six pages, and is said to be the largest edition of a daily newspaper priated west of Chicago. The big paper was gotten out in commemoration of the second year of its existence. The World is one of the best papers printed in Kan- sas City and the great success it enjoys is due to its reliability and the manner in which the paper is eonducted. ad Just watch that incapabe, blun- dering, quarrelling; do nothing re- publican congress which shows utter | incapacity to legislate forthe needs of the government and the people jand the democrat that staid away | | | possible will certainly feel asham- led. | jary 23 to name the time and place for holding the state convertion to’ elect delegates to the national con-| vention. —_— Washington, D.

London, Jan. 13.—The Manches- ter “Guardian,” commenting on the British naval preparations, says that considerable credence is attached to the story that the flying squadron. which is to assemble at Portland early this week, is more likely to goto the Dardanelles than to Dela- goa Bay, adding: “Emperor William’s message came | at just the right time to give the| Ministers au excuse for making preparations really intended to back | their new policy, which will end the Armenian horrors and bring the Sultau to his senses.

C, Jan. 11.— Some of the Republican silver Sena tors beld a conference after the ad- journment of the Senate to canvass the chances of passing the silver substitute for the House bond bill through the Senate. They went over the list very carefully, compar- ing notes on Senators considered doubtful, and reached the conclusion that the substitute would win by a majority of about three votes. They also considered the alternative of postponing action until after the new Senators from Utah shall arrive but concluded that in view of the facts developed at the meeting the postponement would not be neces- sary.

Exposed for Ten Days on a Cold and Rocky Bluff. SEVEN MEN LOST THEIR LIVES. Tie Doomed Vessel Was the British Ship Jeantee Cowan. Seattle, Wash , Jan. 12.—-Ten days of suffering from cold and privation on a rocky bluff, during which time seven of the crew, including the captain and mate, met their death and the other mate and seamen met with terrible accidents, tells the tale of the wrecking of the big four masted English ship Jeantee Cowan cn Vancouver Island, otherwise known as the Boneyard of the Pa- cific ocean. This frightful news was brought to the city this after- noon by the tug Tuyee, which had but a few hours before landed four- teen members of the ill-fated crew at Port Townsend. The officers of the tug tell a most harrowing story of the wreck and of the condition of the crew and of its surroundings as found by them. The vessel struck New Year's day. Captain Thompson died several days after the ship struck the reef, and the cook and an able seaman and the man who ran the donkey engine died the following day, the latter be coming violently insane. The other the second mate and two apprentice | boys. Nine members of the crew were left on the shore in a cabin| abouta mile north of the place) where the ship went on the reef. The tug Tuyee first sighted the wrecked ship on Saturday afternoon. | She was plainly outlined on the shore of Vancouver Island and could be seen on the shore. The sea was running pretty high at the time the tug hove to, but two boats were lowered and a start made for the| ship, which was standing up majes- tically, her lower topsail set and straight on the westward. The stern was high in the air and the rudder broke square in two. A portion of the crew could be seen on top of a high bluff, on which atent had been pitched. A sight | met the gaze of the rescuers that will never be; forgotten for years to come. Seated about a fire were thirteen men all wearing an expres sion of utter hopelessness and mis-| ery. Firet mate Charles Legall, who was lashed to a boatswain’s chair, | suffering from a fractured leg, told | mate Hall of the Tuyee the story of the disaster. He said the Cowan jcame from Cape Town, South Africa for Royal Roads, B. C., and 108 days , Out when she reached Cape Flattery on December 19. There was a ter-! fore trying to comein.
