BONDS ARE ALL BIGHT SECRETARY CARLISLE SAYS THEY WILL BE LEGAL Foreigners In the Pennsylvania Mines Attack Their English-Speaking Fellows— Drive Them from Work and Destroy Much Valuably Property. Makes Public Rtat<i*ent. John G. Carlisle. Secretary of the Treasury, has made public the following statement: It has been erroneously published in some newspapers that the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives had agreed to and reported a resolution denying the authority of the Secretory of the Treasury Io iaauo and sell bonds, as proposed in hia recent circular, and these pnbllcatiouH have evidently made an unfavorable Impression upon (he minds ot some who contemplated making blds for those securities. The only resolution In relation to thia subject that has been before the committee is as follows: “Resolved, That it is the sense of the House ot Representatives that the Secretary of the Treasury has no authority under exlstlnkiaw to issue and sell bonds of the United States, except such as is cent erred upon him by the act approved Jan. 14, 1874, entitled, 'An act to pfovicie for the resumption of specie payments,' and that tlie money derived from the sale ot bonds Issued under that act cannot be lawfully applied to any purpose except those specified therein." , It will be seen ‘hat this resolution assnmed that tlie authority to issue bonds was conferred upon the Secretary of the Treasury by the act of Jan. 14, isTJ.and that snch authority still exists; but it arterts that the proceeds of the bonds can not bo lawfully used except for the purpose of resumption. The official telegraphic report of the proceedings in the committee when the Secretary apiiearcd helore it last Thursday shows that his authority to issue bonds was not questioned by any member, the only question being whether he could use the proceeds for any other purpose than the redemption ot United States notes. Mr. Bailey, the author of the resolution, distinctly admitted the existence of the authority, Addressing the Secretary Mr. Bailey raid: ’’The resolution does not impeach your right to issue bonds; it expressly recognizes It, but questions your right to apply the proceeds to auv purpose except those specified in the act.” The Judiciary Committee -es the House examined and reported upon this same question during theLtld Congress, and it then conceded that the authority existed under the act of 18 5. The question as to the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to use the money in any particular manner or for any particular purpose la wholly distinct from the qu* stlon as to his authority to issue and sell bonds. No matter what he may do with the money the validity of the bonds will not be affected and there is. therefore, no reason why any one should hesitate to invest in those securities on the ground that the proceeds might possibly be used for other than redemption purposes. ANGRY MINERS RIOT. One of Them Fatally Wounded and Several Are Hartly Hurt. A wave of anarchy in whose train fo’lowed bloodshed, arson, and the destruction of property passed over the Mansfield, Pa., coal region the other day. It began at dawn and at dusk it was estimated that $200,000 worth of property had been destroyed. .Made ma<W>y Janciod grievances and liquor, a mob of several hundred foreigners— Hungarians, Slavs and Italians—swept over the county surrounding Mansfield and through tho valleys of Toms and Painters run. They attacked mine owners, miners, and a few scattered deputy sheriffs, and destroyed railroad property. Until noon tho mob met hardly any resistance. At that time it reached the mines of the Beadling Bros., near Federal, on the Pittsburg, Chartiers and Youghiogheny Railroad. Here the rioters met determined resistance and were checked. With repeating Winchester rifles in their hands, Thomas F., William and Henry Beadling stood their ground and opened fire upon the mob as it advanced. They fired four volleys in quick succession, fatally wounding one and injuring a half-dozen Others. The man fatally wounded was Frank Stable, a Frenchman. He was shot through the body. The names of the other men injured could not be learned. After the fourth volley the rioters turned and fled precipitately down the hill. .At this moment a train bearing Sheriff Richards and forty deputies pulled into Beadling and the officars, quickly alighting, started in pursuit of the rioters, firing as they ran. The cha-e was a long and hot one, but finally sixteen were overtaken and captured. They were marched to the Mansfield jail at the point of revolvers. On the way the party was met by a posse of citizens of Bridgeville, under command of Squire Csshe? Moyers. They will be held for riot and arson. As a result of the fighting it is stated that a demand will be made by the citizens of the Mansfield region that the coal operators discharge all foreigners now in their employ, and hereafter hire none but American workingmen. To avoid similar trouble in the future it is thought this course will bo necessary. BAD YEAR FOR FARMERS, Report of the Agricultural Department Is Not Encouraging. In the report of tho Agricultural Department the total value of the corn crop for 1893 is p aced at $591,625,627, and although the crop is only about 9,000,(KO bushels loss than that of 1892 Its money value on tho farm is $50,500,000 less. The value per acre is $8.21, the lowest figure for ten years, except for the years of 1886 and 1889. The falling off in the wheat crop for the year is oven more marked. Tho total product, as estimated, amounts to 396,131,725 measured bushels, which falls below the average for the ten years iB6O to 1889 to tho amount, of 53.563,364 bushels, ai;d«is 84,648,956 bushels Ids* thaa the average crop for the years 1890 to 18(93, inclusive. There has also been a fall in the price of wheat, so that the farm value of tho crcp is estimated at no more than $213,171,381, which is believed to bo the lowest ever recorded. The crop of oats in 1893 was 22,180,150 bushels less than in 1892, and the farm value was $21,677,519 less The report also shows a corresponding decrease in the crop of potatoes, rye and barley, not alono in tho production but in the price. MONEY FOR PENSIONS. A Total of •151,5*1,570 Asked For, and Will He Allowed. The appropriation bill for pensions has been reported to the House by the Committee on Appropriations. There were no surprises in the recommendations, although mate ial reductions from the expenditures of last year were mode in the bill. The total amount recommended for pension expenses for the fiscal year ending June 30,1895, is $151,581,5(0, which is practically in accordance with the last revised estimates of the Commissioner of Fen- 1 sicns. The total is $14,949,780 less than i the appropriation for the fiscal year of 1894, which was $166,531,350, but is more than the sum aprl'od for pensions in any year before 1893, when the ( amount was $160,581,787, including do-, ficiencies. In detail the expenditures recommended by tho commission are for payment of pensions, $150,000,000; fees of examining surgeons, $1,(100.000;, salaries of agents, $72,009; clerk hire | at agencies}, $450,000; miscellaneous, , $69,570. . . , The commissioner's original estimate, based on the operations for the fiscal year ending June 30,1893, were $162,631,570, but revision reduced them about $10,000,00a *l'he business of the first six months of the year showed a great'falling off in tho number of new

pensions granted and of arrears. Navy pensions are to bo paid so far as possible from tho income of the navy pension fund. Borne minor amendment) are made a part of the bill. Ono provides that each member of an examining board shall receive $2 for each applicant when five or less 'Bro examined on one day, and $1 for each additional applicant. When more than twenty appear no fewer than, twenty are to be examined in a day. No fees are to bo paid to examiners not present and assisting in examinations.

Georgia Tax Collector Asaume* the Guile ot a Ne;ro Thlct and I* Shot. A senrat'onal story has been received from Union County, Ga. Tax Collector Jones, who lives in the wilds of Cooper’s Creek, returned on Saturday from a tour of the o unty collect-ing-taxer. In tho evening a peddler well known in that locality stopped at his house, asked for lodging, and was taken ip. After supper Jones went out to look after his cattle. While he was gone a dis-reputable-looking ntTgro knocked at the front door, and when it was opened stuck two pistols into the faces of the peddler and Mrs. Jones. He first demanded the peddler’s money, and getting that made Mrs. Jones bring the tax money. As ho got It he turned to go out, when the peddler quickly drew a pistol and firing struck the robber in tho head, killing him instantly. It was then discovered that the would-be robber was none other than the tax collector himself, blacked up. SAT ON THE WOULD-BE ROBBER. John Dalton Conceals Himself Inside a Staffed Buffalo. A train-robber named John Dalton was captured by one of the Northwestern express messengers beyond Deadwood, S. D. Dalton had himself expressed on the inside of a stuiled buffalo, but his game was spoiled by his removing one of the animal’s glass eyes, through the socket of which he stuck a six-shooter, covering the messenger. The latter, however, got out of range and leaped upon the back of the stuffed animal. The back caved in and he dropped upon tho robber inside, and sat on him until the next station was reached, when he was turned over to the authorities. The safe contained sso,< 00. Evidently Dalton had confederates. who were to act at his signal. They have not been apprehended. THOUSANDS VISIT THE FAIR. The Paid Attendance at the San Francisco Show Reaches 60,000. Official figures from the Midwinter Fair headquarters show that 72,248 people passed through .the turnstiles Saturday, the opening day. Os this number "o ver 60,000 paid the regular admission fee of 50 cents. So far there has been little or no agitation to close the fair Sunday and everythinff on the grounds is wide open on that day. In the management of concessionaires and the general conduct of the exhibition there was nothing to distinguish Sunday from any other day, and though chaos still reigns in Machinery Hall and all of tho exhibits in other buildings are still in a state of disorder thousands of people on last Sunday afternoon visited the grounds. BANDITS ROB A SILVER TRAIN. Hill th® Foreman and Get Possession of Much Valuable Ore. The authorities at Durango, Mexico, were notified of a desperate murder and robbery committed about eighty miles west of there in the Sierra Madre mountains, the perpetrators being a band of brigands led by the notorious outlaw, Francisco Reiseda. A mule train loaded with silver ore from the Santa Maria mine was on its way to the reducing works when the bandits made an attack upon the guards, killing the foreman, Jose Nillareel, who attempted to offer resistance. The other guards fled, leaving the burros with their precious cargoes in possessicn of the bandits, who drove the animals to their rendezvous in tho mountains. A force of troops will be sent in pursuit of tho robbers. ■ LOCOMOTIVE AND SNOW PLOW. Strike a Broken Rail, Throwing the Crew Over an Embankment. A severe wind and snow storm prei vailed at. Como, Col., for thirty-six hours. Trains on the Union Pacific high line are blocked. The rotary snow plow, ] ushed by two engines, struck a broke i rail near Como and the plow and one of the locomotives went over the embankment, rolling over three times and landing about 150 feet from the track. Engineer Stowe, Conductor Reed, and Firemen Kalahar, Evans, and Mordan received severe injuries. CAMPBELL HAS A BEE. May Run for Governor in '»5, with an Eye on the White House. Ex-Gov. Campbell’s friends have stated that he will be an active candidate for Governor in ’95, with a view to securing the Presidential nomination in 1896. It is claimed by these friends that the machinery of the administration is behind the movement, and the fact that Campbell dictated all the federal appointments in Ohio is quoted in support of this claim. Telegraphic Clicks. Thirty-eight 4-year olds won 383 races and earned $342,780 last season, Lamplighter leading. All the Danbury, Conn., hat factories are to reopen. Six of the number will employ union men. American Minister Smythe is said to have made himself objectionable at Hayti by giving advice to the officials. Additional advices say that 12,000 ’ live* were lost in the earthquake which destroyed the city of Kuchan, Persia. The financial ruin of ex-Governor Campbell is attributed by his Hamil--1 ton, Ohio, neighbors to his political I ambition. Associate Justice Bierer took the oath of office as Judge of the District Court at Guthrie, O. T., and appointed John Havighorst his clerk, i It had been planned to raid gambling houses at Muncie, Ind., and burn the paraphernalia, but the gamblers moved their projierty out of the city. I Mrs. David Reynolds, wife of a ' settler in the Cherokee Strip, near i Ponca, died from drinking water from a spring supposed to have been poisoned by sooners. The body of Frank Kramer, excashier of the Bank of Lawrence, and later of the Bank of Wekanda, Mo., was found at Lawrence, Kan. He had evidently been murdered.

Wm It WronX? Speaking of' millionaires reminds me of policemen, who are also of our conqueror* This little story, whose sadness is not wholly sad, comes from a Western city which had suffered severely during the present financial stringency. A grocer In one of-the poorer quarters of the town was accosted ono day by a man who asked If he would let him have a sack of flour and trust him for payment until he found work again. The grocer refused. Going out to the front of his shop a few minutes later he found the man no longer in' sight and one of the sacks of flour piled up outside was missing. Summoning the nearest policeman he described the man and his application. “I think 1 know who he is,” said the ofl'cer. “I’ll ha e him for you In a jiffy.” On arriving at the house ot the man, whom, from the description, he suspected of the theft, th 1 : policeman walked in without knocking. The tell-tale sack of flour waS standing on a table in the center of i he room and the family was gathered around it They had not waited to untie, much less to cook ih but armed with spoons had fallen ravenously upon the sack and, making holes in the sides, were eating the dry flour. The man turned white to his lips at the sight of the officer. The policeman looked and hesitated. Suddenly a bright idea occurred to bi tn. “Does John Smith live here?” The man shook his head. “Do you know where he does live?” No one knew. “That’s all right Perhaps I can find out next dodr. It’s John Smith 1 want," and tho officer of the law retreated. Returning to the grocery. be asked the price of the flour, and paid it and related the scene. “And I will tie d d,” he concluded, lowering his voice reverentially as might one who had trodden unawares upon sacted ground, “if I am going to arrest that man.”—Kate Field’s Washington. A Relentless Creditor. A creditor seldom goes so far as to seize a coffin about to be carried to the grave. But this happened in the open street in Berlin a few days ago, and created considerable excitement and great indignation. A cabinetmaker's wagon had just stopped in front of a house near the Alexander platz in the German capital with a coffin for the wife of a locomotive engineer who had died. As the coffin was about to be borne into the house an official of the Court appeared, placed his seal upon the oaken box, and ordered it transferred to the Berlin pawn office. The official had acted on behalf of a relentless creditor. The engineer pleaded in vain for the coffin. The record failed to say whether he succeeded in getting another. A Milwaukee Man's Interesting Relic. Dr. Thomas L. Jones, a physician who came to Milwaukee from Pekin, China, possesses, among many other curios, a copy of the Pekin Gazette.the oldest newspaper in the world. It has been published continuously since about the year 1600 A. D. The paper is of the size and shape of a railway folder, and the news published in it relates entirely to the courts, the edicts of the Emperor and government affairs In general. In fact, it is really the official gazette of the Chinese court, though it is published as a matter of private enterprise. Dr. Jones also has some very rare old Chinese coins, including one that dates from about the year 2700 B. C.—Milwaukee Wisconsin. Covering the Bamboo Lounge. The bamboo lounge, so cool in summer, with its graceful twistings and turnings, has a cheerless look in winter, unless tastefully covered and piled high with gray, soft cushions.

A peculiar deep red gives a cheerful bright effect to a room, whether in the daytime or by artificial light at evening. Man's Inhumanity to Himself. The most inhuman outrages, outrages which would disgrace the savage, man perpetrates upon his own system by swallowing drastic purgatives which convulse his stomach, agonise his intestines and weaken his system. Many people constantly do this under the impression that medicaments only which are violent in their action, and particularly cathartics, are of any avail. Irreparable injury to health is wrought under this mistaken idea. The laxative which most nearly approaches the benetteent action of nature is Hostetter's Stomach Bitter‘.which is painless but thorough, and invigorates the intestinal canal instead of weakening and irritating it. The liver and the stomach share in the benign discipline instituted by this comprehensive medicine, whose healthful influence is felt throughout the system. Jlalarious. rheumatic, kidney and nervous complaints succumb to it. Eagle Licked by a Coyote. While coming across Combs flat recently, W. C. Plummer of Prineville, witnessed an exciting fight between an eagle and a coyote. The eagle had caught a rabbit and the coyote undertook to take it away from him. The eagle defended his prey manfully for some time, but the coyote was too much for him, and finally got away with the rabbit, but not until aftei the eagle had clawed several handfuls of hair out of his back and left him somewhat disfigured.—Portland Oregonian. ■ A summery proceeding—A in the mercury. » f ' ■ . ... , .

She Spoke Without a Tongue. One of the most remarkable cases on i record was that of a woman, well authenticated at the beginning of the last century, who had no tongue, and yet spoke -with perfect clearness. She_ was brought to Lisbon, in Spain, by Count d’Ericeya. from Monsary, in the Territory of Elvas, Portugal, and the following account is given of her by an eminent divine: “She is 17 years old, but does not look more than seven. She can pronounce distinctly every letter in the alphabet. She has not the least bit of a tongue, but the teeth in both sides of her under jaw turn very much inward and almost meet. Her chief difficult? is in eating, for while others move tfieir food with their tongue, she is forced to use her finger. She says that she tastes well. Her voice, though very distinct, is a little hollow and like that- df old people who have lost their teeth.” Reporting: Vessels at Sea by Cable. Capt. Trott, of tho cable steamer Minia, has done a clever piece of work in the transmission of information while at sea. When in latitude 47 degrees 30 minutes north, longitude 32 degrees 30 minutes west, he reported, through the end of an Atlantic cable which he had on board for repairs the following steamers bound westward, viz.: Manhattan and a Red Star steamer; also the Paris, of the American Line, and the Mohawk, of the Atlantic Transport Line, in the same position. Capt. Trott was the first to introduce this most acceptable method of makihg known the whereabouts of steamships, and has reported steamers in mia-ocean on several occasions, a service which was much appreciated by both the owners of the vessels reported and the friends of the passengers. No Night Fakers in Washington. “There is one thing that strikes me as peculiar in Washington,” said Phil O’Neill, one of the army of race followers now in the city, at Willard’s Hotel. “That is the absence of the night fakers who peddle hot stuff to eat. In the cities all over the West you will meet at all hours between dark and daylight men who have hot tamales or weinerwurst sausages for sale. The same custom prevails in the South and North also.. The tin buckets of these peddlers, with the hot steam arising from them, are as familiar at night in every other city except Washington as the lampposts are. I suppose yoirdon’t have as many night owls here as elsewhere, and that may account for it.”— Washington Post. Spider's Bite. Naturalists usually pooh-pooh the stories of poisoning from the spider's bite. It is well established that most spiders are harmless, and one naturalist says that almost every story of poisonihg by a spider’s bite has upon thorough investigation proved groundless. A naturalist of this city kept and handled freely for a year a tarantula, and received no injury, though the creature always resented the introduction into his box of any prodding instrument other than the naturalist’s fingers, and when a glass rod was thus used always stijuck at it hard with his fangs.—New York Sun. Pledging one's health was formerly done by the man sitting next the drinker standing up beside him with a drawn sword, in order that no one should stab him while his hands were holding the cup.

Foppish Soldiers. That dandyism is an indication of effeminacy seems to be disproved by the fact that many German officers are addicted to small absurdities of dress. In the time of Frederick William 11., when the German army was resting on the laurels of the great Frederick, dandies flourished in great numbers, among the officers, in spite of severe official condemnations of foppery. The monstrosities and extravagance differed but slightly from those of to-day -sharp-] ointed toes, ridiculously high collars and short overcoats without seams. Latter-day exquisites have also adopted the plan of crowding on the finger as many rings as possible—he who can carry’the largest number on the ring fingers and at the same time bend his finger being considered to have the bluest blood.
