They both lodged a 44-bullet in him and ho died instantly. Tne officers had been on the look- out for Mahn for several hours. During the afternoon ho terrorized the Missouri Pacitic yards because Conductor Stone had laid him off as a brakeman. Mshn had beea drunk with morphine and whisky fora week or more and Stone was compelled to get rid of him.

Toxoxto, March 20.—The Globe (liberal) commenting on the proposed changes in the American tariff says: “Tbe eftect of impos- ing these taxes will ecither bo to wipe out Canada’s wholc export trade to the states or to force our farmers to accept prices from 15 to 20 per cent less than they now obtain for some $20.000,000 worth of what thoy have to sell. Not only is. this so, but tho the surplus which we now sell to the states will, if thrown on_the home market, reduce the prices of all the products that our farmers sell for Canadian consumption, Their anuual loss will thus amountup to mavy - millions aud the value of their lands and plants wiil be enormously diminished.
