A. R. ZIMMERMAN, Publisher. PLYMOUTH. INS ANA. CLEVELAND IN DOUBT MAY NOT APPOINT MONETARY CONFRERES. Report that the Chinese Envoy Cannot Hecovcr-Ntbrubka Town Excited Heavy Fire Losses in Chicago and Milwaukee. It has become n matter of considerable discussion in ofiicial quarters whether, under the recent Wolcott resolution providing for the appointment of delegates to a monetary conference, the President will name any one for these offices, and it is said in very well-informed quarters that such a doubt fills the President's mind as to the extent of his authority in the matter, and it will form one of the most interesting topics to engage the attention of the cabinet. Representative! ,'ull ersonis the only one of the six delegates already chosen who yet remains in Washington, and he agrees freely with the views credited to Mr Cleveland. Li Hune Chans Muet Die. A special from Washington says: "In a private cablcgrom from Tokio received by a member of the Japanese legation Wednesday, from the highest ofiicial source in Japan, it is stated a Cermnn physician, an expert of high standing, was sent at the personal request of the mikado to examine Li Hung Chang's wound. After n thorough examination of his distinguished patient, the physician reported confidentially to the mikado that Li Hung Chang must die. The wound is in rlie face, and the bullet, which the surgeon had not succeeded in extracting, is apparently beyond reach. Moreover. Li is 70 years of age, and although a giant physically, his years are against him." Sam AVol Tal Wanta to Be Mayor. The citizens of Lexington, Neb., ore considerably excited over the election of city olficers. Besides the Republican and Independent candidates Sam Woi Tai. a Chinaman, has entered the contest with a petition signed by fifty citizens and business men.

A building and two acres of ground have been lxtught for them ami they hope soon to be at work for themselves. The remedial order from the Ottawa Government makes a demand upon the Manitoba Government to abolish the lauses of the education act doing away with separate schools. The ministers say this will never be done, and they are piepared to set the Ottawa order at defiance. The New York Herald's special dispatch from Havana says: "It is reportid that last Tuesday, at Santiago de Cuba, an Lnglish steamer, the Lorentia, was fired on by the Spanish coast guard lor failure to heave to when ordered, but no official report has yet been made regarding the affair." At San Francisco, Cal., the United States Grand Jury filed a second indictment against Collis P. Huntington, president of the Southern Pacific. Railroad Company, for violating the interstate commerce law by issuing a pass outside the State. It was hinted n. technicality might nullify the first indictment, so an ironclad indictment was tiled. The (ialveston cup, now held by the Washington Fencibles, will be competed for at the intestate drill and encampment to be held in Memphis in May.

John Bohon, a Boston printer, is soon to marry Miss Theresa Gertrude Butler, only daughter of Captain Howard Butler, the Philad Iphia millionaire. The engagement has been kept a secret, it is said, at the desire of the young woman's parents, who do not favor the match. The New York Hei aid's correspondent nt Havana telegraphs that it is expected that at least S.000 troops from Spain will reach Cuba within ten days. One battalion will be stationed in Havana. The government is confident that the troubles in Santiago will be completely suppressed within a week after the arrival of the troops. The stage running between Cassville and Mill Creek, Pa., was held up about midway between the two places, by three men, supjosed to be tramps.

"Steve" Brodie, of Bowery fame, made application at Boston, Mass.. for permission to bury the body of Miss Hathaway, the Adams House suicide. Medical Examiner Draper said he was willing Brodie should do so if no one appeared having a better right.

WESTERN. Al Judd. a Des Moines gambler, was shot and killed by Mrs. llalley Miller at Denver. Charles F. Watkins is under arrest at Denver, Colo., charged with stealing $1,400 in money and gold nuggets from his employer in Chicago. S. .

The child is alout 5 years rid and is the daughter of James Fair, the exSenator's eldest son, ard Mary Ellen Lampman. who, it is asserted, was probably married to young Fair ir. lisSS. The State of Missouri is in danger ofbeing left without citizen f.oldiers within the next three months. The National Guard of Missouri is in se:ious financial straits, and as the legislature has refused to pass a bill granting liberal appropriations for maintaining the militia organizations, the soldiers are prepaiing their resignations. Mrs. William Tregear, wife of a well-to-do Butte (Mout.) mining man, ran away from home in company with a married sister, and taking with her all of her husband's savings and their Vyear-old boy.

The majority report of the Committee on Elections and Suffrage was prescnti-d to the Constitutional convention at Salt Lake, Utah. The report recommends woman suffrage in the exact language as carried in the Constitution of Wyoming. One section of the report provides that no person shall have a right to vote who shall not be able to read the Constitution of the United States. The packing houses of Reid Bros., at Amiourdale, Kan., were damaged $700,lM0, fully covered by insurance. Seven crsons were rescued from a burning re? idence in Baltimore. One of them, a woman, will probably die of injuries. Thre'e persons were injured, one of their fatally, at a fire in the residence of Frederick Klosman, of Philadelphia. Four firemen lost their lives in the Denver hotel fire. Cornelius Lamenyon, a wealthy farmer of La G range, Ind., called his wife and children into his room and compelled them by threats of instant death to remain while he removed one shoe and stocking, seated himself in a chair, placed a gun to the side of his head and pulled tho trigger with his great toe. The charge mangled his head into a shapeless mass. He was addicted to thi use of liquor. By an explosion of gas in the Rocky Mountain Coal and Iron Company's mine No. 5 at Red ('anon, several miles from Evaustou, Wyo., seventeen men are known to have been killed, and it is feared the list will comprise at least fifty when Ihe details of the horror are known. From twenty-five to fifty men were in the pit at the time of the explosion and none of them have been rescued alive, so it is ten red all are dead. Eight men known to have been in the mine have not yet been accounted for. The mine was con

sidered one of the safest in the State. About 150 men are employed in it, but fortunately the most of them had gone out for the day. The cause of the explosion has not yet been ascertained.

SOUTHERN. John Martin was shot and killed at Hot Spiings, Ark., by Mrs. Larry, a widow. Heirs are contesting the will of the late Mrs. Robert F. Johnson at Lexington, Ky.

Both protested innocence. WASHINGTON. The internal revenue receipts increased $3, ISO,!;!:; during the last eight months. An unknown woman is suspected of setting tire to two Catholic churches in Washington. Yice President Stevenson, with his family, will leave soon for Europe, where they will spend the summer. While the Spanish and Hawaiian incidents attract more attention from the public, the Venezuelan case is deemed by long odds the most serious one with which this Government has to deal. This question chielly occupied the attention of President Cleveland and Secretary Gresham at a conference Wednesday. It is understood another cablegram of instructions has been sent to Ambassador Bayard at Iomlon. This Government desires to impress upon Great Britain its desire that the efforts of England to colli ct the indemnity demanded of Nicaragua by the recent British ultimatum shall not bo carried to extremes. It is believed Ambassador Bayard has been instructed to learn what the purpose of Great Britain will be in case Nicaragua refuses to pay over the $7.",000 demanded ns reparation for the mistreatment and expulsion of British Consul Hatch. If Great Britain decided to take jnjssession of Nicaraguan territory or to seize the custom houses for the purpose of collecting the sum demanded, the United States will view such action as a violation of the Monroe doctrine. During the recent troubles in Bluetields. subjects of the United States and Great Britain alike suffered through the unnecssary zeal of Nicaraguan oflVers. For these injuries the United Staters has already secured reparation and apology. Great Britain has not been so fortunate. The question is not as to whether or not reparation is due her, but solely as to the method to be adopted in securing compliance with her demands. FOREIGN. Ecuador's insurrection has been suppressed. Li Hung Chang, the Chinese peace envoy, is confined on board his ship at Shimonscki, Japan, by illness. Rev. Dr. Tulley, of New York, on his way to Grey town, is detained at Colon by a decree of the Nicaraguan Government that ministers of religion shall not enter Nicaragua. A dispatch fron Shanghai says that the Japanese licet Las taken possession of Fisher Island, one of the largest of the Pescadore group between Formosa and the mainland of China. The Duchess of Leinster, who died at Mentone, France, had engaged a suite of rooms at a Santa Barbara, Cal., hotel for herself and twenty-six persons. She intended iroing there April 10. A report is in circulation of a terrible explosion of dynamite at Oberwesel on the Rhine. Twenty-live persons are said to havo been killed, two ships are reported to have been destroyed, and many houses wrecked by the explosion. Oberwesel is a town of Rhenish Prussia, about nineteen miles from Coblentz on the Rhine. Its population is estimated to be about twenty-five hundicd. The Madrid El Emparcial savs the report that the wreck of the missing cruiser Kcinu. Itegente has been discovered is utterly without foundation. The Alfonso NIL, which was sent out to search for the missing ship, has, the paper asserts, retuned from her cruise without having obtained and news regarding the. fate of the cruiser. The government still entertains hope that the Reina Regcnte, having run short of coal, has been blown into the Atlantic and may yet be heard from. Advices fr-.m Peru are to the effect that President Ca ceres has resigned and that the Provisional Government formed after the conclusion of the armistice between the Government and the insurgents, which preceded Gen. Caceres' resignation, consists of representatives of both the belligerents. The Provisional Government will issue a decree ordering the holding of new elections. A dispatch to the Times from Lima says the loss in killed and wounded on both sides in the fighting about the capital was 2,00. Nt. foreigners were killed. Tiie city is now quiet. Depredations by the Government forces marked the opening of hostilities ou Tues,day in Lima. The troops sacked the Union and National Clubs and many shops. Then diplomats and the papal nuncio. Mgr. Machi, intervened. An armistice was arranged for twenty-four hours to give an opportunity to bury the dead and remove the dead horses from the streets, as there was danger of pestilence from the bodies. T' 'V were collet ed in a pile and burnei m the Plaza des Armas. As n result of he three days' fighting more than l.rioo combatants were killed and wounded on both sides. During the fighting all of the foreign legations were excised to the tiring. The United States legation was in a particularly dangerous situation. Mrs. McKenzie, wife of the United States Minister, narrowly escaped being shot. More than fifty refugees sought an asylum in this It gat ion. The House of Commons at Loudon by a vote of 17 to 1ÖS adopted the resolution offered by Mr. Allen providing for the payment of members. No more radical measure probably has ever passed the English House of Parliament. For centuries a seat in the House has been open only to those who had the social position to insure a successful canvass and the money to enable them to live in an expensive part of Lmdon the great it part of the year. This has been the practical situation until live years ago. Wealta was the one thing necessary; ability or popularity went for nothing, for it took a handsome income to be a

member of the House of Commons. The change came when John Burns was electid as one of the members for South London. Burns was practically the first workingman and a poor one at that to take his seat in the House and the party which elected him found itself confronted with the problem of how his expenses were to be met. This was finally done by public subscription and the need of it directed public attention the fact that only wealth was represented in Parliament. It took long for England to do more than think about it, but nt last a bill was prepared providing for the payment of the expenses of those members who were unable to meet their own. This bill was defeated, but it was the point of the wedge and the father of the present bill. IN GENERAL Henry P. Havemeyer is said to hau disused of his interest in the sugar trust and to be planning a European tour. Marie Burroughs, actress, has filed a suit for divorce from Louis F. Massen, charging him with neglect and infidelity. Senator Lee Mantle, of Montana, is recovering from tlio grip at Washington. Senator Carter, of the same Stnte, is il) at Helena. Gen. Adam Bodeau. who was on tht staff of Gen. Grant as military secretary and who afterward served as secretary of the American legation in London, is dead, aged 01 years. George Marshall Graham, of Toronto, Out., after a hard fight with fate for thirty years, has just been identified as heir to the Scottish Earldoms of Strathem, Menteith and Airth. Two senior branches having become extinct the title ami estates pass to the third branch, of which tlie Toronto man is the representative'. The new Earl is entitled to a seat in the British House of Lords, and will claim it as soon as some necessary preliminary arrangements are made. (Iraham has for some time been working as bookkeeper in a florist's shop. R. (i. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: "Indications of improvement in business grow more distinct. The most obtrusive of them, the speculative adance on cotton and in stocks, is the least reliable; nor can either of these be said to reflect actual improvement in business conditions. Railroad earnings are scarcely better and the speculation is largely based on expectation of more effective monopoly in coal ami some other products. Ijondeui was buying largely, but likely to sell on any rise. Cotton does not rise because there is more demand for goods, but that there is more demand for goods because cotton is dearer. More valuable indications are that the volume of domestic trade gains a little, money is in much better legitimate demand, and the force of hands at work gradually inert ases in some industries and in others is restricted only by strikes, which are presumably temporarily." The Cincinnati Price Current summarizes the crop situation for the past week as follows: "Wheat regions west of the Mississippi River are reporting crops more diseouragingly, but other sections about the same as previously. The weather is preventing seasonable growth. The average oonditi hardly been maintained. Low supplies are almost uniformly reported. A fair supply of corn is reported in many sections. Oats seeding has been delayed, but a large acreage is contemplated. The week's packing of hogs was 000,000, against IS '.",000 for the corresponding week last year." Figures obtained from the bulletin of the Statistician of the Agricultural Department show a steady increase in the wheat supply of the world for the past four years. The annual yield has been as follows: For 1MU. L'.:i70,0O0,M bushels; hN02. 2.414.0O0.0O0; 1S0.', L4 127,000,000; lS'.M. 2,r0O,CHX,0W bushels. Notwithstanding the increase between the years IM and 1804, the United States finds itself with a shorter supply on hand March 1, 1S!Ö, than ever before. During the early stages of the rowbetween Spain and the United States last January Scott Wike, acting Secretary of the Treasury, made a ruling under which customs ollicers were required to collect the one-tenth of 1 per cent, difftrcntial duty oti sugars imported from Cuba, holding that that country came under the classification of a bounty-paying country. I .at er. though not because of an amicable and satisfactory adjustment of the Cuban tariff schedule, it is said, but by reason of fresh evidence hearing on the subject. Secretary Carlisle issued a supplemental order nullifying the Wike ruling, he having learned that Cuban products might be exempted from the one-tenth cent added duty. The later order is worth to Cuban sugar raisers about "'VJ.-(MKM a year on the 'J.'Jöo.o ),- 000 pounds of sugar annually shipped into the ! 'idled States. Now. by a singular oversight, the Wike order appears in a recent Treasury Department publication and the Carlisle nullifying order fails to appear, whereat there is great alarm among the sugar importers who do not know w hat to make of it.

Miss ICthel Dclmont is an enthusiastic wheel woman, pretty and graceful. The other week she made her appearance in ihe bloomer costume, and if Lady tJodiva herself essayed a repetition of her famous ride the sensation could not hae been greater. The town came forth to ya.e and for the moment the oli einen wer' petrified with amazement. Then they 'aroused to action and Miss Kthcl received an otlieial visitor, who informed her that a repetition of her appearance in the objectionable costume would mean a police court summons on the charge of creating a disturbance on a public street. Miss Dolmont's bloomers are discarded. Offers Ciold Teeth n u Bail Bond.
