Washington, Feb. 13.���A decision was rendered to-day by the mixed commission to whioh was referred the claim of the South American Co., agifmst the Uuited Slates, over ruling the demurrer interposed by the United Stales counsel, to the claim for ��235,OUO damages, on account of the seizure of the Itata. The demurrer was based upon the contention of the United Slates, that the seizure of tho vessel was made with probablo cause and that the Lata being in the employ temporarily ol the Junta Government atlquique, the Government of Chili was responsible for any damage thai might have been inflicted on the Steamship Co. The counsel for the Chilian government, combatted this proposition with the argument, that lhe Itata had ceased to be iu the employ of the Provisional government, when site became unable to complete her undertaking, and that the doctrine of probable cause could not be applied beoause tho vessel ha I been released by the United Slates courts, on the grounds thai tio law ha*i beeu violated. This decision virtually leaves nothing further for determination bul the amount of damage lhe United States must pay for the seizure of the vessel.

Thirteen Miners Entombed-Very Little | Mr. KnoB came Hope for Their Recovery. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Feb. 13.���This morning there was a cave in ot the mines which are being worked under the town oi Plymouth. Thirteen timbermen were in the mines timbering up some of the workings. The cave-iu is constantly extending and it is feared that the recovery of the imprisoned men is beyond hope. A nuinh'ji of mine foremen ai.d (heir ut- sis tan ts, led by John B. 1) vis, Supnrii. tend- nil . I 1 lie Ci. y -i il ������ ii ' -lit*-, Wllu llau been .u tliu nunc ait Hie afternoon, came out at 5 o'clock and reported that all lhe outlets iu the mine are cloned,also the rock tunuel and all the entrances, The cave-m is now reported to have taken place in what is known aB the Five Foot Vein, Seven Foot and Bennet Veins. The cave-iu covers an area of about a mile, it having extended siuce noon to-day aud affects the central portion of the town of Plymouth. Few cracks can be seen on the surface, but this has not become seriously affected as yel. l'he rescuing party was obliged to retreat on account of the fourth caving iu of the mine. The cracking of immense rockB as they came down, the rolling and rumbling of the many falls and the rush and roar of the wind by the concussion, forced the men to men to retreat to the surface. Men who are familiar with mine working arc at the scene of the disaster nnd their willing hearts and s'ro-g ,vms are rpady to so into tho mine whenever the word i** given, to aid in rescuing the entombed timbermen, if such is possible. The mules were taken from the shaft this afternoon as the cave in was extending close to the foot. Should the shaft be closed at any time all hope of rescuing the men will have to be abandoned foran indefinite time. The thirteen limbermeu who went into the mine and who are now imprisoned there, were warned jesterday that there was danger ahead, but. they were of the opinion that the danger was not sufficient for them to stay out. They said, however, to the hoisting engineer, as they went down the shaft, that should anything occur they would be found in the big branch in the Bonnet Vein. Tl.is, however, ia a'.so c'oiail, and there ia no way to reach them. Tiie scene about the mine late lo uight is heartrending and from the pieseni outlook there will be at least eleven widows and plenty of orphans to suffer the loss of their only support. The officials are hard at work to devise some plan or means of rescue, but, in order to get-the men, they will have' to penetrate through hundreds of feet of coal and rock. It is thought by the tuperinten- deut and otherB that the men are in the Bennet Vein 700 feet below. I the committee appointed to deal with re- Honoring tho Votcran.

Aid. Nightingale read the Street Committees report and said that Aid. Cocking and Morrison were in favor of a sidewalk being built on the lower aide of Victoria road lo connect with that already built. He (Nightingale) desired I lie side walk to be on thu other side from Milton to Cavan and to cross the road to where the sidewalk already is, which was built by the N.V.C. Co. Be- garding the sidewalk on Nicol street he con sidered tho old Council's decision should be followed. Chinatown to have a sidewalk of ashes to come up for discussion. Road Foreman's report was read. Received and filed. DEFERRED BUSINESS. Ill refereneo to Mr. Hickman's communication Aid. Dobeson considered that the commit lee appointed to deal with the resurvey ahould be the party to deal with the matters referred to. Aid. Pleace would like to see the contraot of the resurvey and aB Alderman of the Middle Ward, unless the contract had been properly completed would not sanction the paying of Mr. Heyland. Hickman's communication was referred to forward on motion and I gave a detailed hisloiy of his taking up the I land that he now had and the different al- I lerations that hid taken place. All that he 1 wished was that the company would leave him the small piece of laud between his lot and the street. Mayor Quennell said that it seemed that his dispute was with the N.V.C. Co. and not with the Council, and considered that the matter was entirely between the coal con.p.uy aud Mr. Euos. The City Clerk stated that to his knowledge a plan of the block in question had been deposited and registered ten months ago. Aid. Craig moved that the city clerk be requested to make enquiries at the company's offioe aud io aee what could be done in the matter. Cariied. The Klcctric Light Company's request for a more definite understanding Aid Craig said that Mr. Stickles wished the light not to be only used on Sunday nights but to run till 12 o'clock every night at the oorner of Wesley and Fitzwilliam streets. Aid. Cocking understood that Mr. Stick- eles did nol want to put the light there unless it burned all night and not for service nights of the Presbyterian church. Aid. Nightingale could not conscientiously vote for a light to be placed at the spot mentioned at all, hs there was no real uectssity for one aud believed there were not really funds enough for the purpose. Aid. Pleace agreed with Aid, Nightingale and considered that if one church was to have its entrance lighted, all the others ought to be similarly treated. Aid. Craig did not wiah to preBa the matter and said that the other churches were already lit and anyhow it would only cost 50 ctB. per night and the Presbyterians could probabiy pay that if necessary. Aid. Cocking considered that the discussion waa useleas and that Mr. Stickles aeemed to act in a rather one sided way eb he seemed willing to light the street for the Presbyterians and not for the Council. On motion the communication was received nnd filed and it was arranged that a letter be ient to Mr. Stickles explaining the views of the Council on the matter. Iu refsrrnce to Mr, HeyUnd's communication r. girdiug the Uuion Brewing properly, it was decided to send a copy of Mr. Heyland's letter to the company. A communication was read from W. J. Gallagher of The Daily Teleoram. Mayor and Aldermen, Gentlemen,���I beg to direct your attention to our account which remains still unpaid. So far as the rales charged are concerned, we have **nly charged you the pricea we get from othera iu our every day busineas nnd which are the same a- paid in other cities. I would suggest, however, that your council pursue the course adopted iu Vancouver and Victoria, viz: Fix the rate at 10 and o ceuts per line and give all advertisements to both papcra'payiug eaoh half, i. e. 5 and 2J cents per' ��ne. This would not increase the cost to the city and would give both offices an equal show. I would also remind you that this office has not ao yet received a dollars worth of city job printing. I believe this work is all being due in one office in this city. It should be divided equally and I hope your honorable body will Bee that it is. Yours respectfully, W. J. Gallagher, Manager of Telegram Printing Co. Tho Mayor asked the difference in prices of the two printing establishments for what had already heen printed. The figures of the two papers were read aud commented on. Aid. Craig said that as no especial contract had heen made with The TELEGRAM, he moved the bill bo paid. Aid. Cocking seconded and believed the bill should be paid. On motion, carried. A'd Nightingale said that the culvert on Wentworth street required recovering, and another culvert be placed also in an adjoining street. Left iu the hands of street committee to attend to. Aid. Pleace asked thai Commercial street bridge be improved as it badly required some repairs. Aid. Nightingale stated that the south end should be rebuilt and the other replank- ed, and that t'lere ought to be a new bridge. Left in the hands of street committee. It was decided that all the bridges be at- t?nded to by the street committee. Aid. Wilkes alluded to a place on Nicol dGREGOR, iER IN n Underwear, Hats, Caps, Etc.

Nightingale referring to sidewalk on Victoria road discussion, and differenoe of opinion amongat the Street Committee, asked for more time. Aid. Cocking spoke at some length on how himself aud Aid, Morrison had come to the oonolusion that the lower sid<* vas the btst side for the proposed sidewalk. Aid. Morrison snid that he considered the sidew ilk might t<> he on lhe lower side. Considerable discussion aros-j among tho members regarding the matter. Aid. Pleace asked which Bide had the most houses. Aid. Cocking replied that he believed there was an equal division. The Mayor asked the effect of the grading on the two different sides. Aid. Nightingale explained that the upper side would require a little grading, whereas the lower would require considerable attending to. The motion for more time to decide the above question was carried. Aid. Pleace called attention to the road outside the post offioe requiring attending to. Aid. Cocking presented the Streets Bylaw for '94. The by-law passed ita first reading. The Counoil then adjourned till Monday next at 7:30. AS *fl|MMi strnTSf, NANxilMU, ,ii. C WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1894. LOCAL .NEWS. POLICE COURT. Btfore .1. T. Planta, S. M., and M. Bate, J.P. In yesterday's police court Thos. Madden was charged with disturbing tbe peace. The result was $5 fine and $5 costs or one month. Frederick J. Curran was charged with having an intoxicant in his possession in the Indian Reserve on the 12th inst. The hearing was adjourned till the 20th for enquiries. Defendant was allowed out on his own recognizances. For being drunk and disorderly early yesterday morning, Murdoch Smith was given the alternative of paying a $5 fine with ��15 costs, or one month's imprisonment. Good Old Val. St. Valentine's day haB arrived and there now can be seen on the tree tops and elsewhere the solemn plighting of troths of the birds and other animals that are, as the legends go, accustomed to use thia day aa the starting period of their devotion to aome member o' the other sex. Who St. Valentine was iB uncertain, and different rumors are current as to his being the cause of presents, cards, etc., being exchanged between the different sexes on thiB day. It ia generally considered that thesaint,if saint there was had ever thought that hiB existence and name would act as an incentive to numerous people of both sexes to send to one another anonymouBly, the diabolically vulgar sketches that are considered correct emblems of affection, he would undoubtedly have strangled himself at hia birth and thus have saved a great deal of annoyance. The latest design in Valentines for gentlemen, is it is understood either a pipe, pouch, or cigar holder, whilst match cases are considered to be especially indicative of affection and liable to cause a most ardent return from the recipient. The receivers of Valentines can be easily detected this morning by the happy and contented expression on the counten anoe of the ladies and the self-satisfied smile of the fortunate youths who also, it is noticed, at the slightest provooation, ask their friends to "take something." At St. Albans. To-night at St. Albana there will be sacred concert given which has a most promising programme. Professor Stoel haa oonsented to become the leader of the choir and will give some choice selections on the pianoforte including the Andante and Polo naise opue, 62, by Chopin. This will no doubt be the musical feature of the evening. Refreshments will be provided at reasonable rates during the evening. The price of admission is the popular 10 cents. Mr, Jamieson will occupy the chair. Following is the programme: Part I���Miss Wai son, piano solo; Miss Tweed, "The Holy City;" Misa Rumming, violin solo; Mr. Nicholls, "Faint Not Christian;" Misa Booth, recitation, "The Changed Cross;" Mrs. Jamieson, "The Valley of Shadows;" the Choir, "Whosoever Drink- eth;" Miss Hevland, "Salve nos Dominie" (Piccolominie.) Part II���Prof. Stoel, piano, Adante and Polonaise Opus 62-Chopin; Miss Tweed, "The GlimpBe of Heaven;" Mr. Nicholls, "Life's Memories;" Prof. HermB, violin seleotion; Mrs. Jamieson, "Tears;" the Choir, "Veni Creator Spiritus," Mendelssohn; "God Save the Jueen." A Juvenile Gathering. The concert at the new Presbyterian Church last night was well attended and was a good performance throughout. The proceedings opened with an address by the Rev. McRae in his usual happy style which was well received, his many humorous allusions and appropriate remarks pleasing immensely the large gathering prosent. The programme was as follows: Instrumental solo by Master J. Dick; club swinging by MisB Slabel Polio :k; song, Miss N. McAdie; recitation, Mias M. McDonald; song, Miss Mary Hague; reading, Mr. Aitken; instrumental duet, Misses McGregor; recitation, Miss Queeuii!

The vocal solos by the Misses McAdie, Mary Hague and A. Glaholm were very good and all received encores, the song by Miaa A. Glaholm being the feature of tbe evening. The club swinging by Mias Mabel Pollock was very pretty, whilst tho instrumental selections of Master Dick, the Misses Mo Gregor, and the Misses Welch aud McAdie, were all encored, being much appreciated. The recitation of Miss Queenie Maitland was very pretty, the little girl in reply to an encore making a most becoming bow to the audit nee and retiring. Mr. Stanley Craig gave a recitation which was very good and rsceived an enoore. The proceedings finished with God Save the Queen. he ss. Joan, Capt.

On Monday another of them, a young man named Edon Brenton from Mnrseilles, flung a bomb in the cafe of the Hotel Terminus, at the St. Lazare railway station, and instantly t\ed under cover of the smoke caused by the explosion. He was at once pursued and captured by the policemen, one of whom he shot and severely wounded. The explosion of the bomb fairly wrecked the hotel and even shook the railway station adjoining. When the smoke cleared off five persons were found severely wounded and fif'een slightly injured. No one was killed on the spot. The bomb was filled with bullets and scraps of iron and it was these which flying around after the explosion did so much damage. Brenton when brought to a police station, appeared quite cool in his demeanor, and was with some difficulty induced to give his name, age and the place whence he came. He was very insolent in his replies to the questions put to him, and told the police it was their business to find out who he was and all about him. It appears the fellow was a cabinet maker from Marseilles who had only- just arrived in Paris on Monday morning, He admitted that he was an anarchist in reply to reiterated questions, adding that the more bourgeois, that is pereons of 'he middle class, shop keepers and :,lie like, whom he killed the better lie would be pleased. It does not appear that Brenton received any insult or provocation from the people in the cafe among whom he flung the bomb. It appears to have been simply an act of pure and wanton wickedness, which wns entirely unprovoked. No doubt he had meditated doing something of the kind when he arrived in Paris, and accordingly seized the first good opportunity that presented itself to perpetrate the crime. He will doubtless be sent speedily to the guillotine, jus', us Vaillant was. He will oerUinly be so sent if auy ot the person:, who were wounded by the explosion die. In our opinion he ought to be stnt to the guillotine in any case. He evidently intended murder, and whether he succeeded in commiting it or not he ought to suffer a murderer's doom. His crime was even more wanton and senseless than that of Vaillant. These anarchists seem to be filled with furious and deadly hatred of all who are better off thau themselves. The teaching they recuive from the apostles and propagators of anarchism must be atrocious. It makes human tigers of meu who but for it might be useful aod law-abiding citizens. As it is they are uo better than ThugR, and must be hunted down and exterminated as enemies of society, just as the Thugs in India were. Like them too the anarchists are mosi.ly thieves and robbers as well as murderers. Society must protect itself from such men, no matter at what oost of human life. The auatchists deserve to be outlawed, and put to death on confession or discovery. Thia will verj likely be the end of it, if they go on as ihey are doing. Sociely cannot anil, we think, will uot tolerate them much longer. HON. MR. DALY'S SPEECH ON THE NORTHWEST. Hon. Mr. Daly, Superintendent of Indian affairs, was recently invited to attend a banquet of the Toronto boird of trade, and to address the members on the subject of the Northwest; but for some inexplicable reason the majority would not listen to him Mr. Daly's speech has been published in full in the Nor'- West, a new paper which has just been started in Winnipeg by Mr. Lux ton, who was lately editor of the Free Press of that city. Mr. Daly's speech when read in print is found to be an excellent one, which makes the mystery why tho Toronto men would not listen to it all the greater. The following passage, in which Mr. Daly refers to British Columbia, we are sure will be read with pleasure by our readers : "The building of the Canadian Pacifio Railway has opened up and is developing the resources of the great Province of British Columbia and exhibiting the richness it possesses in mine, field, forest and stream, These alone await capital and industry for development, and I predict for thi* Province a great future. British Columhia contains a superficial area of 500,- 000 square miles, and is 700 miles from north to south and 500 miles from east to west. Amidst the fastnesses of the Rockies and Selkirks and along the numerous rivers and creeks of the mainland ere minerals of every description and kind���gold, silver, lead, copper, iron, galena, platinum, plumbago, mica, slate and other minerals distributed over a great area. The coal deposits upon the island of Vancouver are the richest on the Pacific Coast��� they are being rapidly developed and have a very large output, the demand from San Francisco being very great. With the exception of coal, the mining industries of British Columbia are practically inexhaustible. Extensive mills have been erected throughout the Province. So far, i he lumbering to a great extent has been confined to the vicinity of the salt water. Douglas fir, spruce, red and yellow cedar, hemlock, yellow cypress, white pine, oak, and many other kiuds of timber are widely distributed. The Douglas fir aud cedar reach gigantic proportions. There are many thousands of acres of arable land suited to the production of every cereal, fruit, vegetable, plant and flower, so diverse are the soils and climatic influences. Tnere are large areas of grazing lands known as the open bunch-grass conn try, admirably ad ipted for stock raising. Both on the mainland and on the island the grass lands are suited for dairy cattle; and as there is an unlimited market for butter, cheese, eggs and oilier farm products, mixed farming pays well. I saw on a farm on the island the twenty-seventh successive annual crop of timothy, which was being cut while we were there, and yielding two tons to the acre. The price obtained at the nearest railway Btation, nine miles off, was ��16 per ton. All this will give an idea of the richness of the soil. The fishing resources of British Columbia are not second to the fisheries on the Atlantic coast, and in some respects ahead of and richer than the latter. The land-locked and quiet bays and inlets, together with rivers aud streams, teem with valuable food fish of every variety known in the north temperate zone, buch as the salmon and cod, halibut, sturgeon, herring and others, besides -shell fish. The black cod is considered one of the most delicious of deep water fish. The cities of Victoria nn I Nauaimo on the island, and of Vancouver and New Westminster on the mainland, are as progressive as any in Canada aud contain magnificent buildings of all descriptions. It is ouly a matter of a few years when with an ever increasing population and tho opening up and uevelopment of its great resources, British Columbia will become a hive of indusry and one of, if not l hi richest and most, prosperous provinci in our fair Dominion." The feregoing is not, a picked sp'-cimon. of Mr. Daly's address; it is an average one. The members of the Toronto board of trade in refusing to give attention to such a speech as this did hut little honor either to their intelligence or patriotism, even If they had some personal animus, as was no doubt the case, ngaiust the speaker.

SEVERE gales have prevailed throughout Great Britain since Saturday, and much damage has been done to property aud shipping. Church spires and tall chimneys have been blown over, bul. not much loss of life is reported. A MEETING of the Imperial Cabinet was held on Monday. It is said that Mr. Gladstone proposes to drop lhe Parish Council's Bill and the Employers' Liability Bill, and to appeal to the country within a month. If he does so, we think, he will be defeated. A urazv man wns arraigned at the Bow street police courtin London on Monday,on a charge of threatening to kill th... Queen. He was seut to a luuutic asylum, where he will doubtless be well looked after, and perhaps cured of his malady. His delusion was that the Queen had deprived him of the title of Earl of Winohoombe Qucn Victoria has had her life threatened several times by ctvzy meu .She vias twice shot ai by such persons, but always escaped uninjured. As the Queen, li-.e -ill ihe members of lhe royal family, ,s a person of much courage, she was not even greatly frightened on such occasions. Her would-be assailants were generally sent to lunatic asylums, to be confined during the royal pleasure, that is to say, as long as the Queen was advised that they continued to be dangerous lunatics. There must be three or four persons of this sort, if they arc still living, who are kept in confinement in various lunatic asylumns in England. What becomes of them seems never to be knowu to the public. Wo havo not heard that any of them was ever discharged as cured TV! EAR Nn. 0 MINT., WELLINGTON, A DRIVER'S IN Pass Book.

London, Feb. 14.���The Daily News sayB this morning: "The division in tho House of Commons yesterday on Mr. Cobb'a amendment shows that the Government went beyond the wishes of its supporters in trying to find a method of escape from the Peers and so save the bill.

Employers' Liability Bill Lost. London, Fob. 13. Tn the House of Commons, to day, the Govern "cut accepted iho amendment offered by Mr. Lobb lo the Employers' Liability Bill, suspending for threo years the operation of the hill incases where there aro still existing workmen's insurance funds, The amendment was carried by a vote of 215 to 214. The anuounoemeni of the figures was received with wild Unionist cheers. The smallness ot the majority was due largely to the absence of Irish members. The inoident, although it will not affect tho Government, is certain lo induce the Lords to adhere to the Earl of Dudley's contracting out amendment by rejecting Mr. Cobb'B amendment. In the lobby of the House of Commons, the Employer's Liability Bill is regarded as lost. "Hello Houllier! Is It You?" Pakis, Feb. 13.���Breton, the bomb thrower, admitted to Judge Meyer this evening that he had given a v rong account of himself. He gave a number of names, all of whioh are believed to be fabo. Detective Houillier believes that Breton had just arrived from London. The prisoner speaks English and wears an English shirt and other linen marked "A. M." HiB body was very olean when examined and otherwise showed that he had been accustomed to a deoent life. His education is above the average. On seeing Detective Houillier on Monday night, Breton exolaimed, "Hello, Houllier, ita you, I know you well." Detective Houillier admits that he is on the verge of an important discovery in connection with the oaae. Policeman PoisBon, who was ehot by Breton, haa reoeived the decoration of the Legion of Honor. His comrades will receive gold medals and the citizens who assisted in capturing Breton will reoeive silver medals. Bouge on the Bomb Throwers. Paris, Fed. 13.���In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M. Auguste Bouge, Radical Republican, questioned the government respecting the manifestations that have been allowed to be made at the grave of the exe - cuted bomb thrower, Vaillant He made particular reference to the fact that the sympathizers wit b the dead anarchists had unfurled a red flag at the grave What, he asked, is the government doing to protect society? Continuing he declared that the threats of the anarchists would lie followed by the final fulfilment. M. Clovis Hugue, Socialise, frequently interrupted the speaker but Mr. Bouge paid little attention to him. Amid tremendous applause he declared that the time had come for the government to take action to suppress revolutionary manifestations, no matter who made them. M. Raynal, Miuister of the Interior, replied that the visits to Vaillant's grave had only assumed a seditious character on Sunday. He had immediately taken measures to prevent a recurrence of the manifestations. In the present slruggle with the enemies of Bociety, the government would defend the law abiding people and would prevent all the sensitiveness, which he admitted perhaps provaiied in the ministry, This statement was greeted with deafening applause. M. Jules Contant, a socialistic member who took part in Sunday's demonstration iu the cemetary in which Vaillaigt is buried, demanded that he be allowed to make a personal explanation. He declared that he merely went to the cemetery in recognition of the anniversary of the death of a socialist named Archie It was false that he had gone to Vaillant's grave. He admitted that a red fl'ig had been unfurled. M. Contant repudiated the charge that socialism was in any way connected with anarchism, Warships for Behring Sea. Washington, Feb. 13.���There will be a few changes in the detail of officers on the ships which will be seut to Behring Sea.

New York, Feb. 13.���The following statement haa been issued by the New York agent of the Hamburg American Packet Co., regarding the report from abroad that the steamer Augusta Victoria, of that line had fouudured Referring to the rumor* about our steamer* Augusta Victoria, we arc in re. oeipt of th* following cablegram from our oompan) in Hamburg: "Tna rumor regarding the loss of the Augusta Victoria is entirely without, foundation. It probably arose through the sailing boat Victoria sinking iu the Hamburg harbor during yesterday's heavy gale. Our express steamer Augusta Victoria continued the voyage from Southampton to New York on Sunday evening, passing the Lizard on Monday morning at 6:45 a.m., signalling "All well." We have taken steps against the author of the rumor." The steamer pasaed the Lizard, the signal station at the south western extremity of England on Monday morning at 6:45 a. nr., bound for New York and within two hours afterwards, Bhe was clear of the coast and in t he open sea. The report about her which came from Berlin and nowhere else, is therefore baaed on nothing but an idle rumor, the circulation of which ia to be regretted deeply.

The Tribune says: "The British Columbia Legislature recently passed a resolution pra.t ipg the Lieutenant-Governor to inform the Secretary of State for the Colonies that in the opinion of the House it should be ordained by international agreement that gold and ailver be legal lender to any amount, thai the value of silver in terms of gold be fixed, and that goli! and silver bullion in any amounts be treely turned into coin at the State mints. This is geuuine bimetalliim. The Columbian legisUt ot s do not demand the free coinage of silver in terms of half its gold value. Their position is not that of Bland, the cruzy-horse crowd of the Rockies, and the cranky Populists of the Kansas plains. Tbey do not ask that 50 cents' worth of silver shall be stamped in the mint as if that act would make it eijual iu value to a dollar's worth of gold. On the contrary, they ask that "the value of silver in terms of gold shall be fixed" by International agreement, so that those who were paid in silver money might receive the same intrinsic value that they would have received if paid in gold. What they want is that gold and silver money shall circulate on equal terms, which cannot Ijb the case unless the coins are of equtl intrinsic value. Ihey know that the old ratios are ruled out by the march of events, and that a new ratio must he tsLablisiied 11 gold and silver are to circulate on equal terms, each 1".*ii*g received ou its merits, and no!, requiring to be buoyed up by the other. This proposition is an houeiit one, and deserves the most serious consideration, It is one which any set of meu is entitled to make and to ask for it a respectful hearing, since it advocates nothing which would not be right and fair to all, gold miners as well as silver miners, and to the people o f India, Great Britain, France and Germany, as well as those of the Uuited Slates." A London Letter. Edward Yates, the society news factor of London, cables the following to yesterdays New ^ork Tribune: The wedding of the Grand Duke of Hesse and Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh will probably lake place on Tuesday, April 24, at Coburg. The ceremony which is to be after the Lutberian form will take place in the chapel of the palace which is to be fitted up for the occasion. Emperor William, the Queen, the Prince of Wales, Duke aud Duchess of Connaught, the Grand Duke aud Duchess Serge of Russia, the Graud Duke aud Duchess Vladimir of Russia, the Empress Fr* d- erick, the Piincess Beatrice and Priuce Henry of Battenburg are all to be present. The Bishop of Rochester will go to Florence just before Easter and stay during the Queen's residence at Villa Fabbrioott in order to officiate at the service which will be held on Good Friday and Easter Sunday for Her Majesty mid the royal party. The Duke of Saxe Cohurg Gotha intends to farm on a large scale in Germany, and I hear that iu the course of the next few mouths, extensive purchuses of high class cattle aud sheep will be made for him at the principal sales. A valuable consignment of large white Yorkshire pigs was recently despatched to the Duke of Coburg by Mr. Fulchcr, of Elhanr, Norfolk, and the same Bteamer conveyed to him some prize ram lambs, out of Brad burn's celebrated flock of Shropshire sheep. Last Wednesday the Decoy was launched from the yard of Messrs. John L. Thorny- croft & Co., at Cheswick. The Decoy is a torpedo boat of the same type as ihe Havoc, and is supplied with steam of 210 pounds pressure from a Thornycroffc water* boiler. It is expected to exceed the stipulated speed of 27 knots, while it is said Mr. Yarrow is hoping for 30 knots out of his new destroyer, the Hornet. Thirty knots is 3 _ statute miles, not at all a had speed fnr a railway train, but enormous for any sea going vessel. I have hitherto abstained from noticing the rumor lately whispered of Mr. John Morley's desire to escape from his present post, but as it has been now so openly published I need not hesitate to speak of it. Whether he has at any time contemplated resigning I do not pretend to know, but I have reasons for saying that his position in the Irish office has been proving more and mere difficult and distasteful. It could not be otherwise even with a less sensitive man than Mr. Morley, his relations with the Irish Nationalists are becoming strained in regard to evictious he has found himself compelled to adopt which formerly he denounced iu such unreasonable terms. In the recent murder case in Dublin he was obliged lo sanclion recourse to the explosive act to obtain the very power which under the Crimes Act ho might have used openly but for his wild denunciation of that enactment. He recognized that England is more opposed to Home Rule than ever and that agitation in its favor in Ireland haa caused the place to assume the appearance of au English naval station. $5 Reward It having come to the knowledge of the publishers of THE DAILT TELEGRAM that copies of this journal are being repeatedly stolen from the doors of subscribers the above reward will be paid to any person or persons who will give information that will lead to the conviction of any one found stealing copies of THE DAILY TELEGRAM left at the residences and business places of our subscribers.

But his parents were advocates of consistency under all circumstances, and whatever they advocated they exemplified by their daily practice. Mr. Newton agreed that such a cavalcade as Ralph had planned was hardly in good taf-Ui under existing circumstances. Ho should much prefer that Dunbar should accompany tho ladies in tho most unpretending manner, leaving the others industriously employed in making an inventory of all in the house and grounds. A ready assent was given to this suggestion, Ralph remarking that father would be obliged to exerciso the gift of patience before he could get them into a good working condition, for they would, he feared, be every little while "bolting from the track" after some fancy frolic instead of working like little busy bees, and a strong arm, tight rein and curb bit would be absolutely necessary to keep them on the right side of the traces. "Well, Ralph, my son, that is an odd mixture of quotation and metaphor, but I must Bay it smacks a little too much of tho jockey." "Our good parents are growing a little obtuse, I think. I've been tryir ', all the evening to make you comprehend. Having taken possession of the groom's apartments, I am happy to find myself not so far above my position but that my vocation is recognized," said Ralph, laughing merrily. "What does the Billy boy mean?" said his mother. "Simply," replied Goorgo, "that while you and father were occupied at Rose- villo yesterday we at home were anxious to make ourselves serviceable. ] hope you will not think wo are undertaking too great liberties. You know we must no longer keep a retinue of serv- SiV' ������. and the sooner all changes are maiie, I judge from what you have already said, tlie better. Hearing of good places for tire coachman and ono of Vio grooms, wo secured them and sent the men at once. Ralph aud 1 meanwhile prefer, if it meets your approbation, to retain the head hostler, John, for a few pays to teach us our duties, and we will do the work at the carriage houso ami stable till the contents are disposed of." "Look at father," said Ralph, laughing. "If he isn't grieving that his proud sons should stoop to care for the horses." "There you are wrong, dear boy. 1 was overoomo for a moment with gratitude to God, who has blessed me with children so ready to accept not only uncomplainingly but with great cheerfulness and alacrity a change sudden a** ours must be, and with no false shame step in a moment from a life of ease to one of the lowest forms of menial labor." "Now, father, your explanation ii really quite cruel. I had a little speech all ready���thinking you wero shocked at our labors of today���to show you hov inconsistent were your precepts. I am greatly disappointed, for as I am to be a farmer 1 sh**.1! not havp many opportunities for sp.������ cl:_a_ug. But we can't catch fath.'V **,..* pint}, can wo, mother.'" playfully putting her cheek. "Well, saucy one, tell us what other ���mischief you and (ieorge have been about today?" "Well, we thought you would not like any of the servants to leave unpaid. Fortunately we have always been liberally supplied with pocket money, and we three boys had more then enough to make all right with the men and help Lillian settle with those two utterly useless appendages, the young ladies' waiting maids." "Why, my dear girls, have you dismissed your attendants? You shame your mother! Our children aro teaching us. I never once thought of this, tt3 1 ought to have dime at the very urst." "No, mother mine. Because you and father have been occupied all day in trying to minister to tho vr..*. '.Tr.tia: a ar.*' wayward, and knowing father wished tu cur! ail exp* "uses as expeditiously as possible we could do no less than to begin al these points belonging to our individual expensos." In tho course of the conversation Ralph took occasion to hold up Rose's hand and call ettention to a'blister, saying she had been sweeping and dusting the library herself. "Never mind the hand," his sister said, laughing. "That will soon become accustomed to such work, but I am sure mamma will say I have doue my work well." Jasper here impatiently interrupted her by looking at her hand and protesting with much temper against anything of the kind again, "Come, come, Jasper, don't you be unreasonable. That little blister is of no consequence. I really enjoyod'my play, for as yet it has been nothing more. But what would you have me do, tin- Impatience? Bit on tho sofa aud let my mother and sister do what must now be done���work? You dare not counsel that!" "No, dear Rose. But, Mr. Newton, my kind friend, let me beg that you will yield to my wishes. Let me njake Rose my wife before 70a leave this hor first home." "JasperP exclaimed Rose. "How dare yon name such a thing after those two shameful examples of hasty marriages to avoid the inconveniences of a limited income which we hare just witnessed? Would you see me as heartless as the Le Barrons?"' "That does not follow, Rose. Hie aid awUSBtBaMrCa- B*��V! you oould lender would be but little comparatively, aad I oannot see you stoop to Hbor when a home of ease and affluence is waiting for you." "Stoop! Whatever my mother and sister can do without degradation will not lower mo in the estimation of any right minded person. Eustace has no fearB of Lillian being degradod, and he can also offer her a homo of ease, but ho knows that for tho present her first duties keep her with her parents. If your pride revolts at my using a broom or engaging in any of the domestic avocations that fall to my mother's lot, then should I in time share your fortune your foolish pride will be just as much wounded to know all of us continued to labor, as we most probably will." "Oh, no, never, Rose! You do me injustice. It is but natural, loving you as I do, that I should long to proteot you from all hardships. Your friends, though not disgraced by labor, would never havo Bought it as an advisable change. Consent to an immediate marriage, darling. If you will but yield to this request, I know that your futher will not refusa. Let mo take you to my mother, show you our beautiful home, and when your parents are 6ettled we will visit them before I install you mistress of the little cottage now building for you." Her parents, George and Dunbar, all listened without interruption and with beating hearts, for they felt that the crisis was not far distant, and Rose's unnatural pallor indicated a Btrifo in her own mind beyond and distinct from that natural to her lover's petition. The silence was but for a moment, and then, though her cheek was deadly palo, her voice was firm and clear, but its birdlike tones wero wanting. "Jasper, let tliis subject rest for the present. You know well, if you will do me justice, that I do not thwart your wishes from any foolish coyness. We are both young, and our youth was the reason why my parents aud your own wish our union deferred two years, and we recognized the wisdom of their united judgment. Six months only of that time have passed, and instead of my father's losses changing the plan first adopted my respect and filial affection make it now an imperative duty. I should despise myself, and so would you in a short time, if I yielded to your present impulses to avoid what you call hardship, but which I name pleasure. "Do not interrupt me, my friend. There is something else which I must say, and you must hear mo patiently. A few months, perhaps weeks, will determine if peaco is to continue in all our borders. Uutil this question is settled I remain 'among my own people.' Hear me yet a moment longer," and she caught his hand while she trembled like an aspen leaf, "dear Jasper, bear me. I have not understood you of late. I had thought your whole heart so ful! of patriotism that uo local attachments could make you swerve. But within n few days���oh, Jasper���I ask no question, wish for no explanation now. I will, 1 do trust your patriotism, and to prov* my trust beforo all here I promise, and I know my parents will not gainsay tin* pledge. Should this bitterness end in war, no matter how soon, my brother*; will, I know, be ready to enlist in thi first call���and you?" Ahl who could resist the pleading look of agony she bent upon that face, disfigured by so many conflicting emotions? "Aud you, beloved, will spring to arms with them to fight together under our dear old flag for justice and freedom. With all my heart I will bid you godspeed, and, father, the day my brothers and Jasper march to the rescue I solemnly promise to become his wife I" "Amen! with all our hearts," said hei parents in one breath, but GronrilU clasped her a moment to his breast, exclaiming: "Rosel Rose! You tempt and try me fearfully, but this is idle enthusiasm. There is no war, probably will be none, unless the north" "Oh, let us drop this subject," said Rose. "You understand me. And as I have said, God is my witness, so will 1 do. When the time of trial comes, and come it will, you are too good, too noble, to be found wanting." "But hoar me, Rose! You must and willl Should we be involved in war, why must I join in the contest? Consent to be mine now and let us revisit together in the old world tha scenes jou have so often described." "And this to me! To me! Oh, Jasper!" And clasping her hands tightly over her eyes���in tones so childlike and piteous��� "but I did not understand you. Idreani. I did not hear you. You did but jest to try mo. Let it pass. You neod not explain," she continued to moan. A moment's pause, and then a great change passed over ber. With head erect and eyes as keen and resolute as a martial hero she said: "There needs no more words. You must know I would never Join hands with one who could leave his country or remain idle in time of peril. A scorn equaled only by what I should feel for a traitor would annihilate every emotion of love from my heart. But I must saj good night to all.
