THE Czar has dismissed his ablest |||genertil. No more the foes of Russia will be compelled to quail before the awful name of Dragoniroff. It appears that Dragoniroff was not only too harsh in his methods to be a con^ (jenial^element within the gentle sway of the Bear, but he had a habit of filling his military skin with rum, and while under its influence would swear with a fluent accuracy that was none the less true to its mark because the royal master was occasionally the target. So Dragoniroff bad to&o.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.

Tlie American Delegate* Submit Import. 7' aut Propositions.

At the meeting of tho International Monetary Conference at Brussels, on the 25th, Senators William B. Allison and John P. Jones set forth the American pro-' posals and reviewed the monetary situation in tho United States and other countries represented in the conference, They submitted a general plan on bi-metalism offered by the United States, showing that tho re-establishment and maintenance of a flxed parity between gold and silver, and the continued use of both as colnod money, of full debt paying power, would be productive of important benefit to the world. The American delegates also submitted a resolution declaring that in the opinion of the conference it is desirable that means bo found for an increasing use of silver in the currency systems of the Nations. A document, proposed by the American delegates and presented with the resolution, explained that they wished that an opportunity be afforded to consider their plans.

English lnfiuenoes are evidently busy in opposition to American schemes. The English delegates hardly make any concealment of the fact that they mean, if possible, to make the conference abortive. They priyately hint that the object of England's representation in the conference is to enable tho British government to tell the government of India that they have done all that is possible, and that if no agreement can be arrived at, It is because the problem is an insolublo ono.

The document submitted by the American representatives concluded as follows: These ends will be accomplished by thtf removal of tho'Iegal restrictions now existing and the coinage of silver into full legal tender money, restoring by International agreement a parity of value between the metals at such a ratio as the conference may decide upon. The essentials of such an International arrangement should be. 1. The unrestricted coinage of both gold and silver Into money of full debt paying pawer.

v-

2. Fixing a ratio of the coinage between the metals. 3. The establishment of a uniform change, if any, to tlie public for minting gold and silver coins.

MR. ROTHSCHILD'S PLAN.

Ills Proposition to the Monetary Conference For Baring Silver.

In the International Monetary Conference, Monday, Mr. Alfred do Rothschild, of the English delegation, proposed that the powers engaged in tlie conference should form an association having for its object tho collective purchase annually of five million pounds sterling, equal lo 125.010.000 francs of silver,this to continuo for a maximum,period of five years,under the oppressed condition that the govern* mont of the United States should continue its monthly purchaso of silver, similar to purchases heretofore mado by said govequal to about 54,000.000 ounces of silver. Also that the collective purchases of the powers should be suspended if in tho course of said live years silver should reach the price of 42 pence an ounce, the result desired being to consider how to obtain that rate.

The Independence Beige says that the conferenco will probably decide to rofer tho foregoing, along with other schemes that have been proposed, to a technical committee, which would devise the individual and proportionate purchase by each association power, in tho event of Mr. Rothschild's scheme being adopted. The submission of Mr. Rothschild's plan was preceded by an explanatory memorandum, quoting his correspandonce with the government of the Bank of England. In this corresi ondence the government says he is always opposed on principle to bimetalism, and Mr. Roths child's plan is merely a palliativo of the crisis, which the fall in silver has provoked. The government adds that naturally this expression of opinion is purely personal All other British delegates, except. Bertram Currie, are known to approve the plan proposed by Mr. Rothschild, and it is now confirmed that Mr. Rothschild and the American delegates are working together.

An unusual criminal case has come to an ending in Logansport, a jury finding Mrs. Mary Heenan guilty of embezzlement and sentencing her to one yoar's imprisonment In the Female Reformatory. Miss Mary Remley, sixty-three years old, held $4,800 in cash and a home valued at $2,000. She resided in tho country until after her father's death, when she built a home at Logansport. Trouble with relatives made har suspicious, and she retained In her personal keeping whatever money she possessed. Mrs. Heenan was a neighbor, who often alluded to a wonderful fortuneteller, and, Miss Remley consenting to see her, a woman disgulsod as'a gypsy called one evening and volunteered to toll her fortune. The pretended gypsy then gave Miss Remloy a dlscrlptlon of the man qhe would marry, which answered exactly to a physician at Logansport, to whom Miss Remley was deeply attached. Miss Remley paid $10 for this first visit, and did it gratefully. Freqontly visits were afterwards made by the same Gypsy, of whom It might here be said was none other than Mrs. Heenan. Once the Gypsy told her that the Doctor (Blackburn by name) was sick and needed $400 to lift a mortgage on his property further, that If Miss Remley failed to advance it another woman stood ready, to do so. With each succeeding visit the .credulous woman paid over money to the pretended Gypsy, the amount ranging from fifty to one hundred dollars, and at one time $600 was secured In one-lamp. Eventually all her ready cash was exhausted and then Miss Remley vras persuaded to mortgage her little home for $950, and she followed this by giving deed to her property to Mrs. Heenan. After this she was told the Gypsy was dead. Miss Remley then consulted alawyerandit resulted in tho criminal prosecution of Mrs. Heenan. As part of the consideration of the deed Miss Remley was givon permission to live there during her natural life. The defense set up that the money paid to Mrs. Heenan was in return for loans made to Miss Remley and that she had no connection with the pretended Gypsy woman. The trial lasted a week.
