Our consular and commercial agents in all parts of the world are constantly calling the attention of American exporters to the fact that we labor under many disadvantages wherever we compete with English, French and German producers by falling to put up our gcods In an attractive form. American groceries are especially at a disadvantage wren they come In competition with some ether m mufacturers and packers, because the European goods are put up In a delicate, clean and showy way, and present a ir.Cfrt attractive appearance. It has become an old trick for French and British, and oc.casioru.lly German e porters, to secure Arr.erican goods and, repacking them, give thtm their own brand. The American artlcJa is In itself supericr, but it does not have about it th- attractiveness which characterizes the products of its competitors. About the sharpest contrast between the American and Eurcpean product which has been drawn by any of our consular or commercial agents has Just betn received from Ccnsul Monaghan. at Chemnitz, Germany, lie presents photographs of three ordinary bales of cotton received in Germany from s many countries the United States.

The American bale has burst its coverings ftnd has bulged out from the top almost to the bottom, so that it looks like a snow tall. The Indian bale is as solid and trim find Intact as a plug of tobacco, while the Egyptian baJe. whlcn was originally pome .to hat larger than the one from our country, fctands upright and in good form, with its bcop-lron In perfect order. The comparison fbows painful carelessness upon the part of the American baler and shipper. II Y IIOKC SMITH, Indlaninnn Who Ilnve Iteen Either DUmlmietl or Given Office. Especial to the.

FI.YAXCIAI. LEGISLATION. . The ntlonnl Unnk Hill to He Reported to the House. WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. The subcommittee of the House commltte cn nankin? and currency has agreed to report favorably the bill allowing national banks to issue circulating notes to the full amount of bonds deiosited to secure circulation. It Is now iiown definitely what the committee will dupon the bill to repeal the ten-pcr-cent. tax on State banks. This bill will be reported as soon as a vote in committee is reached. Of the seventeen members of the committee, the six Republicans and Representatives Springer and Sperry will vote against reporting the bill. Representative Johnson, of Ohio, who was supposed to be doubtful, says that he Is against the repeal of the tax, but will report it favorably from the commltte in order to get it before the House. lie thinks that with a matter of this importance, in which so many members are interested, the question should be brought before the House for consideration, but he will reserve the right to vote against the bill on the floor of the House. Mr. Johnson believes that because there was no mention of the bill in the President's mes sage it has lost considerable support. Several members who were for repeal before the message have expressed themselves since as being indifferent, or believing that It would not be wise to pass the measure now. "Walte's Scheme Unlawful.

Acting Secretary Curtis, of the Treasury Department, to-day Intimated very plainly that the government would Interfere should any attempt be made to give practical effect to the suggestion of Governor Waite, of Colorado, that Colorado make a silver legal tender and provide for Its free coinage at a State mint. Mr. Curtis sald that Governor Walte knew very well that the United States alone has th right to com money, and that the coinage by the State would be contrary to the Constitution. The Attorney-general, he added, would be asked for advice as to the proper course to take should occasion require action, which he did not think would be needed. nepuhllran Advisory Committee.

Is here trying to get the office of postmaster at that city. Charges of a political character have been filed against the incumbent, whose commission does not expire under two years. The suggestion by the Paris Rering sea tribunal of arbitration that sealing be prohibited for a period of several years, so that the seal herd may be replenished, will meet with objection from the North American Commercial Company, which has the contract for taking seals on the islands of St. Paul and St. George. The company asks an opportunity to be heard should it be thought desirable to put the suggestions of the tribunal Into practical effect. It Is expected that several months will elapse before the pension case of Judge Long, of Michigan, against Commissioner of Pensions Lochrcn will be on trial. The ca.e may. however, be made special and be brought before the court at any time. The proceedings of the general courtmartial in the case of Capt. D. F. Stiles, recently tried in Oklahoma on charges connected with the land rush, whlcn have been received at the War Department, are said not to sustain a single charge marie. Governor AltgeH. of Illinois, accompanied by a number of the members of his staff and several State officers, called upon the President by appointment at 1 o'clock todav.

AN ILIIN'OIS CRANK. He Wants 10,000 Men to 3reet Him on the Lake Front at Chicago. . CHICAGO, Dec. 7,-Olrculars have been scattered about Chicago, slgnel by John Westgarth, a farmer of Lily Lake, Kane county, Illinois, calling on worklngmen to rrcet him, ten thousand strong, on the lake front, Chicago, on Dec. 12. The men are requested to come mounted and armed, and to meet Westgarth at the break of day. The circular closes as follcws: "Sound no warning note; come quietly; come not to seek the reason why: come to ask the; reason why; come prepared to do and die, to the end that the lake front may be dedicated to popular assemblages for chaste utterance, liberating the deep, the mellow tones which must trouble the slumber of a rock-hearted aristocracy, while vigilance may yet find one unkempt child or perishing soul. Yours to the end of the chapter. "JOHN WESTGARTH." The police promptly suppressed the circulars, and notified the authorities of Kane county to look out for Westgarth, who Is said by his acquaintances to be a "crank."

It is true this woman did attempt to blackmail me and entered suit for that purpose, but on finding my determination to resist her In the courts, and after the trial had been set for three different dates, she failed to enter an appearance, and t:;e case was summarily dismissed by his Honor Judge Connor, of the Wabash Circuit Court, i'his should be. for m. ample vindication and save me from such reference as appears In your issue of the 7th Inst. HARVEY CHRISTMAN. Gas City, Ind., Dec. 7. Governor McKlnley Industry. ' E. Jay Edwards, in McClure's Magazine. Resides possessing the logical mind. Governor McKlnley has squired the habits of patience, industry, and a capacity to submit to drudgery which is fully appreciated only by those who know what the'preparatlon of a tariff bill Involves. This Is unquestionab'y an require I talent; for McKlnley. by nature. had some tendency. If not to Indolence, at least to easy manner of life. Rut when ne mode t'ne r reclamation and maintenance of protection his serious business, he knew tho dreary drudgery that was before him; he knew that no other policy of government compels such inct.ss.int labor, constant watchfulness, wide reading, and all-reaching comprehension of all the enercles which go to make American life as does the mastery of this one. If McKlnley had been seen by the American people when he was engaged in acquiring and applying knowledge, he would have been discovered at his committee rooms sometimes eight or ten hours a dy. or in consultaiien with his committee at "hi3 private renins often until long past midnight. He would have been seen exploring the mysteries of chemistry, reading the reports of trade associations; sometimes with great volumes massed up before him through which he searehel with the penetrating Industry of one who compiles history; and in addition to thee duties was his occupation upon the tloor of the House. Such latr tT this Is exceeded by that of no lawyer preparing briefs, no 'physician making research Into disen.se. n3 merchant in his counting room; and it puts to the highest test the capacity of a man for dreary drudgery. About Mrs. Mnekny. Paris Letter Either on canvas or in person Mme. Mackay is goodly to look upon, and it would .never be guessed from her garments that her "pin money" exceeds a queen's allowance. On a time I have in mind she presided over the Eylau palace, a dmure figure In soft, dark cashmere, with just the suggestion of ornament In glistening jet sparsely mingled here and there In the, dainty fabric. Her figure, indeed. Is just what would be called dainty, the manner full of the invitation of reserved kindliness, and her voice having a charm of softness and pervasive sincerity. At a time, too, when our countrymen were deep In the cult of the English pronunciation. Mme. Mackay preserved the clear, distinct and silveryIntonation of our own high air that the foreigner is fond of exaggerating into the nasal. One of the best-informed women in Europe, a cosmopolitan who had seen and heard all voices In their representative personages, pronounced Mme. Mackay' a voice the test attuned she had ever heard. Meissonier's portrait did not give the distinctive charm of the original, and to her friends It gave no sorrow when the famous canvas was "turned down." Whether Mme. Mackay. Irritated by the Incessant gossip over the Meissonier iortrait. did burn it or ! not I can't say.

ANOTHER CONFESSION

The Price-Storms Trial Furnishes a Third Surprise, And It Is Greatly to the Disadvantage of the Two Defendants Bndcsal Talks of the Killing of Horen. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WINCHESTER, Ind., Dec. 7.-The State put In another faithful day in producing evidence before the jury in the Price-Storms murder, trial. The first evidence this morning tended to corroborate withMr. Canfield, in whoso presence and hearing the same took place, the story of Price's confession made at the jail on the morning of the first day of the inquest. Follow ing Mr. Canlleld's testimony, the State Introduced City Marshal John Collin, the witness who first discovered the body of the deceased. Mr. Coffin's evidence was to the effect that he called upon the defendant, Price, at the jail in the evening of the first day of August; that he said to Price, "I have seen your father, and he thinks some one was implicated with you in the killing of Brown." that defendant raid, "Yes, that is true;" that thereupon he STld to witness, "I will tell you all about the matter." He then stated to witness that he took the route (the same described In the Journal yesterday) to tho spot where the killing was done; but in this statement he made this additional confession; That he stopped on his way at what Is here known as the "Old Cemetery," a cemetery located at the sruthwest corner of the city; that he concealed himself therein and waited, until he sew the defendant, Lizzie .Storms, pass by, going southward along Western avenue; that he followed her at seme distance, she going from the avenue on southward into a road leading south, which is a continuation of the avenue and leads to the road passing east and west on the south of the wcods where the killing took place; that he was too far behind Miss Storms to see her; that he reached the woods and concealed himself . not far from the sou'h fence; that soon thereafter h-ii saw defendant Storms and deceased come from the road toward the fence; that Urown was In the act of jumping from the fence into the wood when he (Price) sprang from his place of concealment; that deceased said, "What are you doing ltre, you white 1" That he then fired at deceased, who wheeled and ran north of east; that defendant followed him about forty or fifty yards, gaining on him; that when near him he (deceased) whirled around, and defendant shot him and he fell; that he then dragged the deceased a few feet behind some bushes, robbed him of his gold watch and what money he had, left his body and returned to the road. There he saw defendant Storms and gave her what money he found, but kept the watch; that he told her to go directly across the woods and fields by the route stated by her as taken in her confession. Defendant said to witness: "You did not find my track out there, did you?" He further said the reason was that he pulled off his shoes and came to town In his stocking feet: that he went east, wading across a little creek, and then came north to town; that, after proceeding north on Main street, he turned and went to the south part of town, near the organ factory. He saw the defendant Storms on the highway there, gave her the watch, and then they separated, he going home to bed. He further said to witness that if he would go to the paint shop where he (defendant) worked and look under the floor, about the center, he would find his socks, damp and muddy. The witness testified that he found the socks as stated. They "were Identified and Introduced at the trial. The witness further testified that defendant said there was an arrangement between him (Price) and defendant Storms to kill Browne, and that she had carried out her part; that his part would speak for itself. A vigorous effort was made by tho defense to exclude this confession on account of duress or promises on the part of the witness, but. after hearing evidence in the absence of the jury. Judge Iteinhart overruled the defendant's objections and the evidence went to the JuryThe State has introduced other witnesses to show that trouble existed between defendant and deceased on account of this woman and two other white women, and that Price had on one or two occasions made some general threats. Testimony was Introduced showing that Price had said that he was tired of being dogged by deceased, and that when he had accomplished a purpose he had in view he would leave the place and never return. Other witnesses were Introduced to show his statements on the day of the Inquest. It will take the State another day to complete its case before the defense can begin. Tin: killing or iiohev. Iludesnl Snyn He Warn Assaulted nnd Thought III- Life in Danger. Special to tha Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., Dec. 7. Nothing particularly new was developed in the murder of Michael Horen, last night, by Edward Rudesal. Although there were several persons in and about the office of the hotel and saloon, no one appears to know definitely what the men quarreled about. Rudesal charged Horen with calling him the most offensive name that human lips ever use, and Horen denied It; afterward he said if he had ever used It he did not know It, and was sorry for It. They had a scuffle, and Rudesal had been hit in the face and nose, not by Horen, It is believed, but by a young man named Quivey, who had come to the aid of Horen, the latter being crippled In his arm by reason of a dislocated elbow. Quivey did hit lludesal several times, his face being battered somewhat, and this is the only explanation that an be given for his using hta revolver, he thinking that he was being set upon by Horen and his friends. Horen and Rudesal" at one time had shaken hands, and It was thought the difficulty was settled, but later It was renewed on the part of Rudesal, who shot Horen while the men were within a few feet of each other. The action of Rudesal in shooting is a surprise to all his friends. He was quite iopular on the Monon, and has always been regarded as a quiet, peaceful man, one whose custom was to allay strife and altercations among his assoc. ates. Instead of stirring them up. He was a man of unusual strength, weighing perhaps pounds, and was always in good humor. He was forever cracking jokes with the men on the road, and seemed not to have an atom of malice In his nature. On Wednesday he had been drinking, and this may be the true cause of his resort to a revolver, coupled with the presence of the weapon in his iocket. Rudesal has retained Col. Richard P. Dellart and Cleorge P. Haywood to defend him, and does not t:ilk to reporters or others about his present unfortunate situation. The probabilities are that there will be no preliminary hearing before Monday. The shooting is the theme of conversation all over the city, and there is considerable feelin-r over the unfortunate occurrence. Prosecuting Attorney William It. Wood Is gathering up all the evidence possible. Rudesal's story. In brief. Is that the trouble arose over a game of cards; that he was assaulted by two or three iersons, and, believing his life was In danger, he lired. He did not know that he had killed Horen until after he went home. Sill. I.AMll'S FLAX. Method by Which He Hopes to Keep tin I nsuiltuhle Official In I'lnee. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind.,Dec. 7. Mr. John E. Lamb Is saying that the statement rrinted In the Journal to the effect that Scott, whom he (I jamb) had appointed second deputy of the Internal revenue office, had been dismissed for cause as a gaugcr under Collector Manson (l)em.). Is a lie. Collector Jump has been trying to learn where the Journal correiondent obtained his information, but so f;tr as known he has not made any effort to learn if the statement is true. Lamb and Jump can easily ascertain the truth of this statement also; That Scott has been dismissed three times from the service. He was dismissed under Collector White for gauging spirits to the benefit of the distillery, but was restored later. Collector Mlnshall dismissed him. Mr. Minshall Is In Terre Haute. Either Lamb or Jump can learn the facts from him. The third time was the Instmce when he was a gauger under Collector Manson, and when his dismissal was ordered by telegraph from the department at Washington. The

scheme is to deny the statement, and. as no publication of the facts is made here, to let the matter drop out of notice. The Indications are. however, that the experience of 1SS5 will be repeated. At that time the bad appointments in the office had to be rescinded.

FORT WAYNE, Ind., Dec. 7. There was considerable excitement here to-day, when a telephone message was received from Ossian, sixteen miles south, statins that an explosion had occurred in the heart of that little town.

DETERMINED TO DIE. 3Irs. Hallidiiy Makes Another Attempt to End Her Life. MONTI CELLO, N. Y., Dec. 7.-Mrs. Paul Halliday, who is confined in the Montlce-llo (Sullivan county) ail for the murder of the McQuilland woman and her husband, Paul Halliday, during the past month made a number of unsuccessful attempts to tak2 her own life by starvation and by setting fire to the bed clothing in her cell, to-day, outdid all her past efforts by hanging herself to her cell door. She used the binding from the bottom of her dreys. At 1 o'clock to-day the sheriff visited Mrs. Halliday for the purpose of giving her her dinner, and on entering the door he saw her apparently lifeless body hanging from the iron grating over the door. He entered the cell, and with the aid of his assistants took the body down. Restoratives were administered, but it was lifteen minutes lefore she revived. The jail physician .visited her later and found her in a very weak condition. "He says she had a very narrow escape, but will probably be all right In a few days. On examination it was found that she had torn the binding from the bottom of her dress and made a. slipping noose which she placed around her neck and fastened the other end to the iron grating over the door. SAT0LLI CHALLENGED. A Presbyterian Wants to Debate the Public School Question. WASHINGTON. Dec. 7 - H.ms of the statements contained in the address made In this city Thanksgiving day by Mgr. Satolll on the school question, which were published at the time, have been considerably commented on, especially among the Protestant clergy of this city. Today Scott F. Hershcy, pastor of the Sixth Presbyterian Church, has forwarded to the papal ablegate a challenge to meet him In public debate on certain of the statements made by him respecting schools. The proposition which Mr. Hershey Invites Mgr. Satolli to debate Is as follows: "Under the Constitution, bearing In mind the spirit which underlie our institutions, do public or Catholic schools best promote, develop and maintain all the interests which belong to the American people as guaranteed by constitutional and statuary law?" A STOI.KV CHICKKX. Incident of Relief Work Anions Goselitc Miners. Detroit Free Pre.s. Someone stole a chicken from the supply house fcist night, and thereby hangs a story. It was the only chicken which has been seen at the supply house since it started. In a miserable shanty lay a poor girl, tossing in fever, who had been deserted by her husband when the hard times came. She Is an interesting, high-spirited girl, whose people are wealthy over in Finland. Her husband was not poor, but when the mines closed he simply left the young woman. Now It Is said this portion of the story is not related with posltiveness as to its accuracy, and yet the ladles here are capable of the utmost devotion when their sympathies are aroused that one of the ladies of the relief society sair the chicken. "How I wish that chicken was mine," she thought. "There Is that poor girl who Is about to become a mother and who is so ill." With that it is whispered the good lady, who has been untiring in her zeal, took the chicken, and placing it under her shawl, walked out with a face as red as a rose and her eyes sparkling with anticipation. She went to the clothing department of the society, and putting down the chicken for a moment, missed It. A certain alderman had seen it. and with wonderful dexterity placed It beneath his greatcoat. "It will do for that poor girl who is ill," he thought. Then the alderman quietly slipped out. On his way to the house he felt chilled by the wind and stopped at a certain place to get a nip to prepare him for his cold tramp. He laid down his chicken for a moment, poured out a generous supply of liquor, lifted his glass, closed his eyes, set down his glass, breathed a sigh of satisfaction, turned to pick up the chicken, and lo! It was gone. A certain doctor had stood by his side. - The doctor espied the chicken. "I never stole anything In my life," thought the doctor, "but 1 should like that bird. There's that girl I am treating. Poor child! I guess I'll take it." The bird disappeared in one of his capacious pockets, and the doctor shot out of the door, sprang Into his cutter and dashed merrily away. In half an hour the chicken was boiling in the pot, and the doctor was bending over the ioor girl. "I thlrjt you are setting better," he said. .Soon the broth was ready, and when it was about to be served, the lady who had first confiscated the bird and the gentleman who had taken It from her walked in. They came with some slight offering, disappointed that they did not have a chicken to bring. Then both lifted their hands in amazement as they saw the chicken and the broth. "Well," said the lady. "I don't care much so long as the chicken got here." And she bent over the girl's bed and said, softly: "How bright you are looking, today, my girl!" Travcllnpr by I'nmilles. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. The joke that husband and wife should travel on railways for a single ticket because when they are married they are one, goes half way to being a fact in some European countries. In Austria-Hungary a. wife who travels with her husband can go for half fare, the husband paying the full rate for himself. Children of the same family, between the ages of six and twelve, travel for one-third fare. If there are more than two of them the wholesale rate is reduced to one-fourth fare. They can travel at half fare betwen the ages of twelve and twenty. In Norway, too. married couples can travel for a fare and a half for the two. The liberal rates quoted for families are no doubt encouraging to matrimony, and are based on the sound principle that the purchaser of a great deal of transportation is entitled to lower rates than the Individual who only buys a ride for himself.

APPLYING FOR WORK 3Iost of the Old Employes of the 4 Lehigh File Applications. A Few Hotheads Still HoMins Out for Kcinstatenicnt of All the Strikers Other Labor News. KKTHLEHKM, Pa., Dec. ..-Most of the old employes of the Iehlgh Valley railroad In South Uethlehem have now sent in their applications for work again. While the terms aro not altogether as satisfactory as the men expected they say there Is no use now In showing d iritis faction or stubbornness, but that they will endeavor to ret back to work as Quickly as possible. Many of the strikers are already at work. General Manager Yoorhees said to-day; "There was naturally tme feeling of disappointment when the men learned the terms of the agreement, but they have slept on them and this morning applications for work aro coming in. Everything to-day Is as well as could be expected, and It will only 15 a very short time before the affairs of the road will be In the same good order as before the tie-tip." 'Chairman Gauslin, of the Firemen's Brotherhood, said to-night that he was very well satisfied with the terms of the agreement, and thought the men were also. "Of course," said the general chairman, "there are some hot-healed ones who will stick out to the last, but such actions now are very unreasonable and useless. We know that all the men cannot be employed at once. The company's rolling stock Is not in condition now to hire all the men who struck, even though It desired to do so. Hut we . believe that Mr. Wilbur is a man of his word, and that the men will be taken back as quickly as work Is had for them." At Mauch Chunk the strike is all over. The old men have reported and abouo onehalf have already been employed. A nonunion crew deserted a tram about a mile above there this evening. The yards at Packerton are belntr cleared, and in a few davs coal will be moving regularly. F. W. Prentice, deputy grand master of the Order of Hallway Telegraphers, located at Rochester, received the following dispatch to-day from- the strikers' headquarters. Wilkesbarre, Pa,: " Have all men report for duty at once; wait for superintendent's reply. We go back as one man or not at all." Prentice said to a reporter: "If the company takes one of us back it must take us all. Otherwise the settlement made on Tuesday Is void. To all Intents and purposes the strike is still on." -. Could !Vot Aurree. PROVIDENCE, R. I., Dec. 7. The conference between the business men and the executive committee of the strikers and mlllowners, Messrs. Charles E. Fletcher and Charles Farwell, this afternoon lasted four hours and resulted In further complications. The strikers were anxious that the little difference existing between them and the manufacturers should be adjusted. They signified their willingness to return to work on the same basis as did the operatives of the Saxon mill last Monday, but this the owners of the Providence, National Saranac, Taft, Weeden and Welbossctt mills would not accede to. The bttsiness men requested that the manufacturers grant a slight concession, but this they would not agree to and. as a result, the committee gave up the task of adjusting the strike. Low Rate for Puddllnnr. PITTSBURG, Dec. 7. The puddlers employed by the Oxford Iron and Nail Company, of Oxford, N. J., have gone to work at $1.Z0 a ton. This Is the lowest rate paid for boiling In the United States. The Information was received to-day by the American Manufacturer. The lirm agrees to insuro fifteen days steady work in every month and the terms have been accepted by the men.. The Oxford plant has 103 nail machines and four trains of rolls, a ten-Inch, twelve-Inch and two twtnty-three-lnch nills, twenty-six puddling furnaces and' an annual capacity of 300,000 kegs. Miner Xeert $150,000. LiANSING, Mich.. Dec. 7. Governor Rich stated to-day that it was not improbable that a special session of the Legislature would be called to consider the matter of relief for the upper peninsula miners. It Is estimated that $150,000 will be needed to tide them over until May 1. lie is preparing to make a personal investigation, and will decide about a special session on his return. JjtfO.OOO for the Poor. D ANBURY, Conn.. Dec. 7. At the meeting of the town selectmen this afternoon $50,000 was appropriated to provide employment and otherwise relieve the poor of this community.

The Engineering Magazine opens with a paper by the editor of the London Engineering Review, In which he gives some views of the Columbian Exposition and discusses the question as to the benefit likely to accrue to ihls country and to exhibitors. He confesses to disappointment as to the exhibits of mining and metallurgy, these being matters in which he was especially interested, and which fell short of his expectations. He accounts for the failure of British manufacturers to exhibit extensively by the resentment they felt at the workings of the McKlnley tariff law, though he hastens to add that the damage intllcted on British trade Interests Is not nearly so great as at one time anticipated. He also acknowledges. Ingenuously, that, though the typical Britisher made up his mind to let Brother Jonathan and his exhibition severely alone, "it does not appear as if the exposition had suffered greatly In consequence, and if any suffering should follow this most natural action It may easily fall on the British industrial himself." Among other subjects treated In this is-sue are "Causes of Failure In Uoom' Towns." "The iron Ore Region of Iike Superior." "History of Strikes In America." "Architecture as a Profession." "Electric Power at the World's Fair," and "American and Other Patent Systems." The Southern Magazine comes out In a Christmas dress of white, decorated with drawings of holly and mistletoe, and Its literary features are of excellent character. While It retains the Southern flavor It does no: confine itself entirely to literature distinctive of that region, and in the broadening of Its field has proportionately 1mproed.
