Since Conaul General Williams compelled Cspt. Qea Oslleja, while governor general of Cuba, to recognise the treaty of 1877 In the ease of Julio Sanqullly, and by so doing prevented the trial of the latter by a military court In Havana last February, the Spanish government has been restive over the question of Mr. Williams' diplo-tnatte autbor^.y. Senor Canovas. the Spanish prime minister, after U o subject van fully eonsldered at a meeting of the Spanish mints-t r y a t which he presided, decided to deprive Mr, Williams of all diplomatic authority and oonflne him itrlotly to tbe purely com-tnerolal or consular privileges of his office. Aooordlngly the Spanish minister of the colonies instructed Gen. Campos to inform Mr. Williams that henceforth he would not be geoofnlsed u possessing any authority to t ransact business with the governor general of Cuba upon other than commercial matters. O e n Campos sent for Mr. Williams recently and communicated to him the instrnotlon f rom Spain.

Uncertainty About the Fntnre—Apparent Cheek In Trade Raid to Be Doe to

Baying In Excesa of Im-mediate Needs.

NEW YORK. O c t 12.—R. G. D u n ft Co's w e e k l y r e v i e w o t t r a d e says :

"The pi ice barometer gives indications that are not entirely favorable Cotton goods go up with Increasing evidence that the crop ot cotton is short. Prices of other manufactured products of wool, hides and leather, all show some decline, a general abatement in new orders being the principal cause With an Immense volume of business, not much ex-ceedod In the largest month of the exceptional year 1801, and with evidence that in several branches the volume has surwssed that of any previous year, there Is a growing uncertainty 'about the near future of industries. Money markets are neither strained nor threatening, foreign exchange no longer raises apprehen-sion, and all fears about the great northern crops are past There have been few advances In wages ot labor within the past month and only a few works have been closed by strikes for an advance

Cause of t h e Deereaae. "The main cause of decreased orders has

been repea'^dly pointed out by this Journal during the past half year. When business be-gan to revive a million traders were in haste to order not only the goods each expected to sell within a given time, but enough more to replenish stocks which had been out down almost to bare shelves by two years of pros-trat ion Thus the buying was much in excess of real consumption within the given t ime Also, as prices rose, many hastened to buy in advance of visible needs, hoping tha t every purchase would mean a gain, while multitudes hurried to get In their orders before competitors could buy as cheaply. Under such conditions buying continued for six months und still con-tinues in cotton goods, which have risen less than th<i material But In most manufac-tured products buying for the same reason can no longer be expected, and the steady and regular consumption is not yet known

Cotton and Wool. "It is too early for cotton movements to csst

much light on the probable yield: port receipts thus tar 23 per cent, smaller than last year, do not indicate as small a crop as many fear. In view of the known lateness ot picking. Widely circulated advices to hold book cotton liave some Influence also

••In woolen manufactures a demand for dress goods and some spocialtles keeps many fnlly employed, bnt most ot the works mak-ing men's woolens, tor which new orders are scant, find not enough to keep them running. To pile goods up In advance wholly m the dark as to future foreign competition involves such risk that some concerns may close for a t ime

Fallnru Record. "Fallnres for the week have Included two

banks and several concerns of some size, and have been 206 In the United States against 211 last year, and 62 In Canada against 48 last year."

Bradatreet's View.

B r a d s t r e e t ' s s ays : "Cooler weather has stimulated a seasonable

demand for staple dry goods, millinery and clothing, snd Jobbers in theee lines in all parts of the country feel the Improve-ment. Relatively, most gain has been made s t the south, where an Improve-ment Is reported In almost all lines. Interior merchants are placing more liberal or-ders than for several years and larger dis-tributing centers report sales of goods to the cotton belt and colleotlons therefrom excep-tionally tree. The more nntsvorable features are fonnd In disappointment s t the modert-tlon with which wheat is exported from week to week, the reported weaknesr In pig iron snd steel billets and In the competition suf-fered by domestic woolen manufacture from abroad."

WILL WIN OR QUIT.

Gov. Clarke, of Arkanias, Says B e Will Prevent the Fight.

LITTLE ROCK, A r k . , O c t IB.—The United Press correspondent found the governor Monday morning thoroughly determined to prevent the prise fight at all hazards. lie says that the action of the circuit Judge and the sheriff of Garland county makes it now a matter of state concern, and renders him primarily responsible for its suppression. He is still hopeful that those in charge of the prize-fighting enterprise will aban-don all further attempt to bring it about here. If, however, this does not prove the case, their efforts can only be interpreted to mean that they in-tend to resist with force the efforts of the officers to prevent i t In this aspect of affairs the price fight will drop out of view and the contest will be one between the power of the state and that of the invading forces of the prize-fighting contin-gent The governor has no doubt of the result of a conflict be-tween these. That the authority and dignity of the state will be main* tained goes without saying. If this should not prove to be the case and the prize fight take place in spite of the efforts of the officers and the people, the governor says he will resign his office and in future leave the enforcement of the laws and resist-ance to invasion to more competent hands.

WASHINGTON, Oct IB.—The news that Great Britain has troops on the way to Venezuela will create a tre-mendous sensation when it shall be-come generally known. Officials of the state department believe Great Britain has definitely de-cided to refuse arbitration of the Venezuelan boundary dispute. This belief leads to an uncomfortable feel-ing that serious trouble is In store for us, and that Great Britain is likely to show stubborn resistance to the efforts of our government to apply the Mon-roe doctrine to this case.

iThe dispute between Great Britain and Venezuela has been ot many years' standing. I t involves the right ot the English to oc-cupy the territory beyond the Eisequlbo river, which Is held by the Venezuelans to be the true boundary between their country and British Guiana The advance ot the Eng-lish raises aa an tame—one ot the oldest tradltious of the United Butwi government—the enforoement of the Mon-roe doctrine, us the United States oan never stand idle while Sntrland attempts to seize territory on the Ameriaan continent to which It Is claimed she had no right, unless It is settled by arbitration that she h a a j

The Masonic Dedication.

About two hundred citizens of this place, including the band, went to Grand Rapids, yesterday, to participate in the dedication of the new Masonic Temple, The Lowellites had a special train, but as there were twice as many as were expected to go, the one car pro-vided was rather overloaded and the baggage car was also packed,

The parade was fine and was witnessed by an immense crowd, that filled not only the sidewalk, but the street nearly to the car tracks, Tbe dedicatory exer-cises were solemn and grand, but only a small fraction of the immense crowd could get in to participate.

Our band received many compliments and acquitted themselves nobly. In the evening they gave several selections in the lobby at Sweet's HUUJI and received lots of applause. The party returned on a special train leaving Grand Rapids at 11:80 p. m,

For trees especially adapted to this climate no firm can be relied upon to give better satisfaction than Husted & Co.—Jonia Standard,

N. P. Husted & Co. took first pre-mium for peach trees, also apple, pear, plum and cherry trees at the Ionia Fair

' A Last week rasbberry blossoms and the green fruit were left at this office, and Monday, Otis White brought in several branches of tatpberries fully ripened. This Michigan is a great fruit state to give two crops in one year. If it would only give some of its vigor to the delin-quent subecribej, so he would, at least, produce a one $ crop, for tbe printer, a year, there would be nothing wanting to make it a perfect paradise.

Tbe Lowell Water & Light Co. are making quite extensive repairs and im-provements at tbe plant preparatory to taking their electricity to Grand Rap-ids. They are building a new power house and setting each machine on an independant stone foundation, so aa to do away, as much as possible, with the vibration. They will shut down next Saturday, the 19th inst,, for the purpose of making the necessary changes,which will require about three weeks, during which time they will be unable to fur-nish power or light.

H o t Weather P a t s an End t o Maple,

The editor of Meehan's Monthly tells of being summoned to hold au Inquest over a dead sugar maple tree. I t wus supposed to have been destroyed by a leak in the city gas main, near its roots but an examination convinced-Mr, Mee-ban that the tree had died literally from sunstroke.

This maple had been planted on the street about twenty-five years, and was some four feet to girth. The trunk, however. Instead of being cylindrical, was shaped like a triangular prism, a peculiarity owing to tho fact that on three sides of it tbe inner bark and wood bad been killed, while tho outer bark continued to cover up the Injury so that the only living wood was at the angles of the trunk. Practically no more than one-third of the surface of the trunk was alive, and when the ex-ceedingly warm weather came the lim-ited number of ducts were not sufficient to supply th > moisture needed to meet the rapid transpiration from so large a surface of foliage, consequently tho leaves wilted and the tree died.

Whenever the trunk of a tree takes o% this angular form it should be ex-amined under the bark, and if the flat-ter portions are fonnd dead the bark and tho decaying part of the wood should be wholly cut away and tbe de-nuded part painted to check the rot-ting. In time healthy wood may grow over such a scar, and the life of the tree may thus be eventually saved.

I t la P o e r In F l a h n .

The Colorado basin is the largest In tbe United States, draining not less than two hundred and cwenty-five thousand square miles, yet, according to a paper prepared for the United States fish commission by Messrs. Everman and Rutter, it contains but thirty-two species of fish of eighteen eenera. These belong to the following five families: Catostoiaid&c or suckers, eight species; Cyprinidae or minnows, nineteen; Salmonidae or trout and whitef-sh, two; Poecllldae or top min-nows, two; and Cottidae or blobs, one. All but seven of the species are thus far known only from this basin. In comparison it is stated that eighty dif-ferent species are known from the basin of the Rio Grande, one hundred and forty from that of the Missouri and one hundred and thirty from the Wabash basin.

The status of women, which is al-ready too low In Rnsda iteelf. Is even worse In those parts of Asia which are under Russian control. A respectable lady there will not accept an Invitation of a gentleman to any place of amuse-ment unless some member of hej- own family accompanies her, and this ten-dency of tho really good women to draw the line between themselves and the cxtromo looseness of the lower classes has resulted in a prudlshness which proved rather embarrassing a

ear or two ago to Thomas G. Allen, whose account of Ills bicycle trip

across Asia so Interested tho readers of the Century magazine a few months ago.

Tho particular instance in question ho relates as follows:

"Whenever exercising on the wheel wo bad adopted tho English custom of turnii^f over tbe upper portion of the stocking to leave the kneecap free for action, but, far from suiting tho exqui-site seu ilbllltles of Tashkent society, this feature of our profcKslonal cos-tume was looked upon as actually In-decent. On this particular occasion a certain epauletted Individual accosted us rather abruptly and, with a supercil-ious glance at our knees, informed us that our 'indecent exposure' hod pro-duced considerable abashment among his lady companions. Of course we re-tired at once to avert the disastrous ef-fects of a second esthetic shock, but wa wondered at the same time how it was that a community which could connive at social scandals and look with equa-nimity upon the half-naked natives working on the street should be so dis-concerted at the sight of a kneecap."

To Keep H i m f rom CnraveUng.

At one time the Presbyterians of Ulster were discussing tbe ignorance and stupidity of one of their number, "And what a notion be has In his head now!" exclaimed one of the elders, in dismay. "His head!" echoed one of the ministers; "he has no head! What you call a head is only a top-knot that his Maker put there to keep him from rav-eling OKt"

Petr if ied Oyatera.

A bed of petrified oysters has been found on tho top of Big mountain, just book of Fork a ton, Wyoming county, Pa. Some of the specimens are of mammoth size, one In Mr. Reynolds' possession measuring twenty-two inches long by nino inches wide and weighing forty pounds. Tho specimens range in all sizes, from this down to the ordinary edlblo oysters of the present time. Somo of the specimens show the eye of the oyster perfectly, and in all of them tho meat Is easily removed from tho shell. The bed seems to be confined to a small mound, resting" on a small plat-eau, at the extreme Mp of tho moun-tain, near the Sullivan county line.

for notes, which when redeemed are not retired snd canoeled, but are reissued and put In circulation to be over and over at-.iln presented for redemption. So Inr as the merits of this single question are affected It is immaterial whether our standard value is to bo gold or silver, because the coin tor redemption purposes, whether It be gold coin or silver eoln, must be provided by the government, and it can be procurod only by the sale of bonds. Whether we continue to main-tain the gold standard of value or debase our currency to the sliver standard the obligation of the government to redeem Its notes in coin on presenuilon will remain, and. consequent-ly. the question whether the notes when re-deemed shall be retired and canceled, or reis-sued. Is one which cannot be avoided or set-tled by a change In our coinage laws. It must be leu led by log;-.! ition In another di-rection.

One Cause of Agitation. • My contention Is that the nj tes ought to be

kept ontstandlng, but should be retired and canceled as speedily as sound and safe cur-rency can be provided to take their places.

! There can be no Unanoial repose In this coun-j try as long as these notes continue i a part of onr currency, because the i fact that they exist compels the gov-

ernment to provide a large gold reserve i which, in the very nature of things, cannot be

permanently maintained by any fixed amount; and whenever it begins to diminish, distrust and apprehension arise in tne pnblie mind, values are unsettled, business Is disturL-ed, und more or less loss is emaUod upon ilie peo-ple. The losses already susia.ued on tms account are almost beyond computation, und there Is no good reason to be-ilove that the country can escape fur ther Injury in the future It the policy of the govern-ment it unchanged in this respect. The fact that the soundness of our currency depends, or is nnjipriseii to depend, upon the mainten-unce of a certain fixed reserve In the treasury, which keeps the business ot the country in an almost constant state oi agitation and alarm, is from every point of view detrimental to the interests of the people,

Sng-gests a R c m e d j . -My only purpose now Is to assist in direct-

ing public attention to the subject, and to ex-press the decided opinion that this element of weukness must be eliminated from out sys-tem before we can have any positive assurance of permanent safety. After the experience of the last three years. It seems almost Incred-ible that a proposition to retire these notes should encounter opposition, though there is, of course, room for wide difference of opinion as to the manner In which it shall be accom-plished und as to the character of the cur-rency that shall be substituted for them

"The responsibility is upon the people and their representatives in congress to deter-mine whether the public debt shall be in-creased from time to time In order to redeem and reissue this paper, which, to say the least, Is of doubtful oonstitutlonality. and Is no more convenient for use ih..n other forms of currency. The executive au-thorities must obey the laws as they stand, whether they be good or bad, bu'. all the pow-ers conferred upon them by the statutes will lie faithfully and fearlessly exercised when-ever necessary for the preservation of the public credit aud the maintenance of a sound and stable currency /or the use of the people In the transuction of their business.

"There Is more than one way in which an adeQuute and safe t-urr nrv can -e securcd for the use of the people wimout obstructing tne powers of the governmoni. or subjecting its credit to the vicissitudes of either legitimate trade or reclcleas speculation, and 1 most wln-cerely hope the subject will receive the care-ful consideration of ail who feel nn Interest In the adoption ol a>sounu policy, uud that a plan may be formulated whlcn will meet the appro-val of congress.

The Government 's F i red Pollcy-"In the menntlme the government will con-

tinue to redeem its obligations on presenta-tion, according to the Toyuirements of the ex-isting laws and public policy. Those who want gold will get It. und those who want sliver will get It. The purity of the two metuls will oe maintained, and the whole volume of our currency, paper aim coin nlil:e, will be kept eijiialto the highest standard recoirnlzed by the cotnniereiul UUllOQS of the world."

Miss Minnie Malone is attending school in LowelL

The school question is causing con-siderable talk. Word hac been received here from tbe Bishop that no Catholic children will be allowed to attend the Dist. school at tbe church only under a penalty, and he is in favor of removing that district entirely. Some are bound that Dist, No. 5 shall he consolidated with that Dist., not having tbe interest of others at heart; they want to join the two so that tbe public money will run that one school the required length of time, by law, to save taxes, regardless of all else. Their plea is this: "There are children enough to go, but they are obliged to attend the Parochial school, most of them at least." Another a t -tempt will be made to consolidate the two districts, Oct, 2*th, at 9 a. m.

The news of the death of Miss Matt# Headworth, of Lowell, a former teacher here, cast a deep gloom over the hearts of many ot her former pupils, who cher-ish kindly thoughts of her, who in former days sought to lead them into paths of wisdom. She was highly le-spected by all who knew her here. The bereaved mother and family have tbe heartfelt sympathy of fill and especially of her former pupils. This community had not recovered from the shock caus-ed by the death announced above, when we reoeived auothsr severe shock in the announcement that Mrs Emanuel Stahl, nee Susie Yoder, daughter of Stephen Yoder, had departed this life, Tuesday morning. Her death was very sudden and unexpected to nearly everyone ex-cept the immediate family, who also did not con-'Ider her illness as being dangerous until the day previous her death. Mrs 8. was bora and had always lived here and has many acquaintances and friends. She leaves a husband and two small children to mourn her loes. She was yet in tbe early summer of life, being only 24 years old. The funeral was held from the O. M. church, Thurs-day, conducted by Revs. Winey and Weaver. The church was filled to its utmost capacity.

Several from this place and vicinity are visiting friends and relatives in Ind. among whom are, Jos. Mishler, Jno. Stab I and their wives, also Mn Jos. Yoder, P. Keim, Miss Tracy Stahl and Miss Ida Yoder. The four last named departed yia rail, the othen by their own conveyances. Miss Yoder was called back Wednesday by the death of her sister, Mn Stahl.

^FUc Baltlns in Dist. So. 2. | |We had ths pleasure of attending the flng raising exercises in Dist, Na 2, Bowne, or what is more commonly call-ed the Stone's Dist, last Fnday p. m.

Everything being in readiness at the appointed time tbe exercises began. At a signal frsm the teacher, the scholars took their places and marched in fiae order around the pole and as the flag was raised it was saluted hy the school after which the scholars gave a brief history of the flag of our Uaion and imng a beautiful national soag, eatitled, "Flag of our Country Brave." The vis-itors were then invited to take seats in-side the school hoaie. Tne pupils thea marched to their ^eats and a fine pro-gram was given by the children, whieh reflected much credit upon the teacher, F. E. Robinson, m exercising saca good taste i.i preparing the program for the 'lay. One of the nwst noticable features o. tbe occasions was the fine behavior and sttentioa of tbe pupils aad their spirit of enchosiasm. The patross of the schoo? were then Invited to take part in tbe •-xjrcis?i. Wm. Stoae being the first called upon, stepped to the froa- aad male a very patriotic speech, -vhich caiied f-^rth much applause. |E. L Cantss was next called out, who de-fined and made plain to the school the meaning ol the grand word. Patriotism. Bfe talk was much sparer-itod by sll.

singing of "America" and three cheere for the teacher. As we left the school yard with the flag floating its beautiful colon to the breeze, we felt that the patrons of tbe Stone school had mach to be proud of, flnt, their intelligent aud enterpnsing school board, their ex-cellent and progressive teacher, their bright and promising children aad last but not least, proud to know theinis the firat flag rawed in the towu of Borne and "Long may it wave o'er the land of the free aad the home of the brave."
