AS TO MEXICO. Apropos of Mr. Bryan's contemplated visit to Mexico, the foilloiwing from the Mexican Herald wM be fotund of special interestt: , "Beoause Mr. Bryan will be able, wlhen on -the ground, to see how Mex ico's pofifitical necessities must neces sarily differ from those of the American people, it is well that he should come here. A very "possible future president of the United States- can do no better with his time than to situdy the manner in which Mexico is governed. He will find here sound financiering, an honest and energetic government, "ho jobs, and a president who works untiringly. He will find banks that do not fail and a silver currency that keeps the wheels of business revolving. He will see pub Jc edoicaltion being everywhere planted, and a federal telegraph service that is a working reality. He will find a con tented and busy people and a host of resident foreigners co-operating with them in building up the country." This is an interesting picture, taken from an authority whom we have no reason to douht. It is very different from the gruesome manner in which goJdbug papers last year held up the condition of Mexico.1 IT what the Mexi can Herald says is true, then Mr. Bryan Willi see many things which do not ex ist in this country and to which he can testify upon his return.

She Claims That at One Time 'Sh, ; Was the Morgan ic "Wife of a Czar of Russia. A report, wMch seems well authenti cated, comes from Salvador that Prin ;ce93 Dolgorouky, Who claims to be the organic widow of the late czar's broth er, was poisoned in Salvador by her secretary and an adventurer named Count .De Castro Sormenho. She died suddendy and the cause of 3.eath,was given, out as yellow fever. The body was diisdniterred by the " authorities, whose, suspicions had been aroused, and the autopsy revealed that she had been poisoned. The Princess came to thiseountry un der contract from Paris to sing at the Exposition. 'She left here about two months ago. She was heavily bejeweled and it is thought her diamonds and money she carried were the objects de sired by the criminals. Count Sormenho was a Portuguese grandee at least" so he represented himself-Tfrom Brazil, but apparentlySof doubtful antecedents. He arrived in New York a year ago and was in poor circumstances. He advertised as a professor of fencing and languages and announced that he was a graduate of some Frencfh institute of high standing. He soon afterwards became a reporter on an afternoon paper,, and owing to some criticism, fought a duel with Mr. Milla, a son of the historian of Central America. Milla was wounded, having received a severe sword thrust in the hand, but soon recovered. At the time .of the breaking out of the revolt against Barrios, De Castro, who had Ingratiated himself into the confidence of President Barrios, was chief of police in Quesal tanango, but escaped the vengeance of the revolutionists by a hasty flight from th city. The dull times prevailing at that time rendered the country undesir able for an adventurer of his class, and he went to Salvador, where, according to telegraphic advices, he was suspected of complicity in the poisoning of the Princess. The jewels and valuables of the dead woman were said t have been found in the possession of her secretary and De Castro as they, were hastening to make their preparations to leave the country. De Castro, ho wever, according to the telegram just received, escaped, and is supposed to be on .his way to South America. . It is supposed the secretary is still in duress. The Princess must have been very at tractive in her youth.; She claimed that she fascinated the czar's brother into marrying her, but on his death he left her nothing but the shadow of royalty to, help her in her vocal efforts. She was over 50 years of age, though she looked younger. The motive for the crime was robbery, as the princess was known to be pos sessed of -diamonds and other jeweis valued at $40,000. The two men are charged with' having poisoned the From the Lone Star State comes the following letter, written-by W. F. Gass, editor of the Mt. Vernon (Tex.) Herald: "I have' used .Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea. Remedy in my fam ily for the past year, and find it the best remedy f$r colic and diarrhoea that I have ever tried.

The annual re port of the secretary of the treasury, senlt to congress today, shows, that the total receipts for tJhie year ended June 30, 1897, were $430,378,167, and the expendi tures $448,439,622-leavin'g a deficit for the year of $18,052,454'. The receiptsi for the year, however, exceeded those for the year 1896 by $20,911,756. The custom, it Is shown, yielded $176,554,126, and in terna! revenue sources, $146,688,574. As compared with 1896, this is an increase in the customs of $16,532,374, and in in ternal revenue $4,342,721. The secretary, at some length, argues the need of a re form in the currency, and in conclusion recommends enactment of legisCatioai estaJblisfhdng a department of the treas ury to be designated as the issue and redemption division, in which is to be deposited $125,000,000 in gold, to be used only for redemption purposes, and all silver now held in the treasury for re demption purposes, and also all sliver bought under the act of 1890. He fur ther recommends that the sum of $200, VW.OW in United States' legal tender notes be adso deposited in this division, to be disbursed therefrom only upon the reteeipt of goGd. It is also recommended t'hiait provision 'be made for the issue of refunding loan ten-year 2 1-2 per cent bonds, payable in gold, in exchange for any part or all of the outstanding loans of the United States; The secretary aEso recommends that national banks be authorized with a mfodmiuim capiltal of $25,000 in places having--a population of 2,000 or fess, and. that the rate of taxation on circulating notes secured by. deposit of bonds be re duced . to one-ball of - one per cent per annuini; also that banks be permitted to issue circulating notes to the par value of the refunding bonds deposited by them in the treasury,, and furtiher, that ranilc3' be allowed to deposit, as security with the treasury, greenbacks, treasury notes, or silver certificates to a total, amount of the $200,000,000 against which national bank notes shall be issued to them to an equal amount. After the banks have deposited such bonds.gteen- j backs, treasury notes "and silver oertifl I nates, to the amount of 50 per cent of princess and escaped, taking with them) pajpiifcal, they shall be permitted to issue bank notes, in addition to the oO per cent thus provided, to the extent of tSuccinct But Comprehensive Re port ot Transactions in the Marst ;of Commerce in the Great Centers The Day's Doings in the World of Trade and Finance.

Just before her demise Princess Dolgorouky was taken violent ly ill with what the doctors;' pro nounced yellow fever, and immediately conveyed to , a filthy pesthouse, where, after hours of untold agony, the pam pered pet of a czar died alone, with not a hand to hold her weary head or voice to break the impenetrable gloom of her lowly surrounding. - Several days passed, when the Salva dor authorities became suspicious, and had the body resurrected. . A post mor tem examination revealed that the princess had been poisoned. The pri- vate secretary and tne erovoryo uounx De' Castro were ordered arrested. . Be fore this they had taken advantage of the delay of several days to make good their escape, and are now believed to be upon the high seas fleeing to a foreign country for sarety. - rae ooay ot me princess had been cast into an un marked grave witinout tne iormaiuy oi a funeral or coffin.. It is stated that ugly rumors, of which the American minister at Gautemala and the ' repre sentative of the French- government took cognizance, were, what led to the discovery thiat Princess Dolgorouky had met with her death by foul means. ' The; dead; woman had gone to Salva dor to play the violin at the exposition there. She arrived direct from Paris and at once established herself in Sal vador under the protection of : the .secre tary - and Count .' De Castro. v The princess was- said to be a most beautiful type of" healthy -womanhood.,-. ..She was not unknown in America by a great deal. 5 In 1892 the princess arrived in New York. She then styled herself .'Her Se rene Higbness the Princess Dolgo rouky." She was billed for a violin con cert at the Academy of Music iii the metropolis.

He also recommends that the guaranty of payment by the government be extended to all circulat ing notes of the bank whether issued agaJinst deposited security or against asserts. To secure the government against loss, if any, a tax of 2 per cent should be levied' on unsecured circula tion to create a safety fund to, be in vetsted by the comptroller in United States bond. In addition, the govern ment should be further protected, the secretary says, by having first lien upon adl assets to case of failure of the issu ing bank. Bt is further recommended that all notes be redeemed in the city of New1 York and at other sUib-treasuries a the expense of the banks and that the issue of national bank notes be restrict ed to the denomination of $10 and up ward.';."';1 ' " .
