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

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

MONEY MARKET.
YORK
wasnangtoni, Dec. 7. 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-

ered until several days after the vic
tim's death. 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. Liberal, advertising served
to attract considerable attention to t;

powers as a musician, but also of her

shall be liable. 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

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

the market declined as suddenly as it
has advanced, dropping to 97 1-2, then
taking one jump to 98, and then back
to 97 1-2. Brokers acting for the bui
clique stopped the advance by offering
about 25,000 of 30,000 bushels.
The market for May was strong, op
ening 1-8 and 1-4 cent higher at 89 1-8
and advancing to 98 1-4 on covering by

It subsequently ' reacted, to 89 7-8. Liv

falling off. Minneapolis and Du'luth
reported 734 cars against 1,043 last week
and 482 a year ago.' Chicago receipts
were 252 cars. Cbntract stocks for the
week increased only 355,000 bushels at
Chicago in spite of the heavy receipts
lately.
Corn was very quiet, but strong, help.

were liberal, 654 cans; and caused a

It often happens that the doctor Is out
of town when most needed. The 2-year-old
daughter of J. Y. Schenck, of Caddo,
Ind. Ter.. was threatened With croup,
he writes. "My wife insisted that I go
for a doctor at once; but as he was out
of town, I purchased a bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, which relieved
the child immediately." A bottle Of this
remedy in the house will often save the
expense of a doctor's bill, besides the
anxiety always occasioned by serious
sickness. When it is given as soon as
the croupy cough appears, it will pre
vent the attack. Thousands of mothers
always keep It in their homes. The 23
and 50 cent bottles for sale, by Dr. T.' C.
Smith, druggist.
