The Eminent Economist's View of the Subject. tQe liu luu iev4.uic .' iw uiUti, all exploH on followed and the dog was torn to piece. TTlijr the English Premier Itrfnse to Agrw to a MihImh Vivendi Tills Year Some I'olitlcs In tlie Cane A Chance for Trouble on the Atlantic Also Canada's Position at to Reciprocity Abolitlou of the Komling Privilege of no I've ait Retaliation. ClllCAoo, March 14. Krastus VTiman, tbe well-known political economist and financier, heml of the R. Q. Dun Mercan tile agency if visiting friends in Chicago, lie was Heen Sat unlay evening and spoke Interestingly on the Retiring sea troubles. Mr. Wiiiian said that be regarded Lord ' Salisbury' as a diplomat of tbe highest' order. "The English premier's refusal of the modus vivendi for tbe coining season," continued Mr. Wiman, "was no doubt de signed to have its effect on the arbitrat ors, to whom the matter is to li referred, in that lie wishes to maintain the British view of an open sea. This view a con tinued modus vivendi might impair. It is morally certain that tbe English gov ernment will not yield this point. Campaign Thunder Itadly Needed. "It is under tremendous pressnre now from the Canadian government, which being Tory in complexion and strengthened by the recent elections, is iu a mood to in sist that Canadian sealers be protected and given equal rights with Americans on the high seas. Uesides, the coining con test in England lietween the Tories and Gladstone and the Liberals makes it in cumbent that a diversion of Rome kind be created to insure Tory success at the polls. Xothing will so fire the Hritish heart with enthusiasm as anything calculated to maintain the fiction that llvitannia rules the waves, and under such circumstances it is not improbable thnt a vigorous for eign policy will prevail during the coining summer, iu which the peace of the world may le threatened. Trouble Also on the Atlantic. "Actual hostilities are doubtful, bnt many a war has sprung from less serious causes and it is a fact that party exigen cies have caused oue-ha'.f of England's wars. While serious results may thus impend ou the Pacific, there promises to be trouble on the Atlantic also. For the last four years a modus vivendi has len granted the I'nited States by the Cauadian parliament in regard to tbe extremely valuable fisheries in the (iulf of St. Iaw rence, by w hich, by the payment of merely nominal tonnage duties, American vessels have enjoyed all the hospitality denied thetn by the treaty of ISIS. This conces sion was made by Canada for the avowed purpose of getting n reciprocity t reaty at 'YVoxbingtou for the natural products of both countries. No Reciprocity o Moduft. "This treaty has recently leen denied by Blaine in tbe strongest terms, and now there is no hope whatever of better trade relations with Canada unless that coun try is ready to discriminate against Great Britain by the free admission of manufac tures from the I'nited States. Therefore the present modus vivendi on the Atlantic Is not likely to be renewed, and the I'nited States government, having by its frequent payment to Canada of tonnage duties tac itly admitted the correctness of Canada's position on the interpretation of the terms of the treaty of 1 sis, has placed itself in an extremely unfortunate position. MORGANS' RETALIATION. Foot and Mouth Dispute in Kngland. Washington-, March 14. The depart ment of agriculture has received informa tion of a serious outbreak of the foot and mouth disease in Great Britain, and Sec retary Kusk warns all stock importers that there is danger of the disease reach ing thi.-. country. Killed the Conductor. Desa kr, March 14. In a wreck on the Unien Pacific road at Granville, Colo., yesterday morning Conductor Dougherty was killed. The w reck was caused by a runaway freight car colliding with a pas senger train. None of the passengers was injured. THE HORROR IN BELGIUM. Wiuiuu Tbinks it Would ISe a Very Itu.l l.oomerHng. "It is too early to predict the policy of the Canadian government on all questions. but It is safe t say that there will be no policy of yielding while Toryism prevails. The threat of retaliation in the shape of the abolition of the bonding privilege. Vrbicb allows goods destined for Canada to pa js through the United States without duties, and vice versa, would lie a two- edged weapon, far more hurtful to Chi cago, Detroit, the Twin Cities, Boston aud New England than to Canada. W ill not Worry Canada. "If this is the only retaliatory measure Canada bas to fear, after suffering the ter rible exclusion implied by the McKiuley bill, it will have no effect on tbe popular sentiment in Canada, except to solidify the adhesion to British connection and to strengthen the determination to keep in dependent of tbe United States. Canada bas the Canadian Southern, Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk railways and the gulf of St. Ijiwreuce, a great natural highway, as channels for her commerce and in no way has to rely on tbe United States. Chicago would be the great suf ferer in case of retaliation of tbe above nature and more harm would be done her tbau would fall to all Canada. Not Dependent on I n a l'.it. "It is a mistake to suppose that Canada, larger than the Lmted States and rich in all natural resources, is dependent on the United States for existence. 1 here is no real annexation sentiment iu Canada, and none that can for a quarter of a century take any tangible shape in practical pol itics. On the other baud, all present con ditions easily suggest real antagonism be tween the two countries." IS MULHATTON IN OHIO? A Dog Story That May lie Said to Take the ISiscuit. . ST. MAUVS, O., March 14. Charles Bar ber, who lives near this city, lost a valu able hound in a remarkable manner. Mrs, Baber bad cnt a lot of biscuits out of dough and placed tbem near the store to rise. Her household duties called her away, and when she returned she found tbe dog had eaten the biscuits.

Women In the Coal Mines. Bi:rsf-Ei.s, March 14. The men at work in the A nderleus colliery are at work at the risk of their lives, tiie mine being in flames. But the total list of dead has been made u;, and it is 21.1. Of these it is esti mated that 170 were scorched to death by the flame resulting from the explosion. The government has taken prompt action to relieve so far as possible the suffering entailed by tbe sudden and appalling ca tastrophe. The misister of public works has ordered the distribution of relief, and the worl is now being carried on. W ill Have One Good Kfl'ect. The awful calamity in Belgium has called general attention to the subject of female labor in the coal mines of that country. The employers prefer women as miners b fause t hey are more docile and work for somewhat lower wages than t ha men. Tbe women receive one franc and a half for twelve hours' work in some of the Belgian collieries. They are mostly middle-aged women, but females are found in the coal i it as young as 14 and as old as 60 years of aire. Some of the married women have been known to take their babies strapped to their backs down into the pit and lay the little ones near them while thev are engaged in dicgiug coal. t'nitrrHMl Sulti-age a Krniedy. This is nie of the evils that Belgian Workingnien want to see reformed. They claim tha-., if the- bad universal suffrage, the Belg an parliament would not be merely representative of the upper and middle c asses, but would legislate also for the benefit of the toilers, who are now little better than serfs. It is said that some colli -ry owners refuse to employ a miner in Belgium unless be is able to bring one or more members of his family into the p t with him. FOUND AN ANCIENT BONANZA. The Long-Lost Tinimruenrle silver Iine Discovered. S.VX Antonio, Tex., March 14.

The latt T, rather than leave t heir wealth to t leir persecutors, obliterate ! al traces of tbe mine, which lias been searched fo-ever since by persons who had beard the s ory handed down by the Jesuit fathers. Mr. 1'isher slates that be lias abundant evidence in the nature of old workings to support bis claim of having without qu -st ion discovered t he original Tumacacorie bonanza mine.

George Clemeuceau, the French deputy, the leader of the extreme left (tbe Radical party in the French chamber) and the most prominent man in France today, had been divorced by bis American wife. The F.mpir too Hot for him. Clenu nceau came to America in lsiji, as his hatred for the empire made it neces sary. He tried to practice medicine in New York but found no patients, and at last secured a place as tutor in French at Miss Allen's school at Stamford, Conn. One of his pupils there was Miss Mary K. Plummer, who is described as a petite girl with a lovely face, wonderful brown eyes and daintly rounded figure.

He father was a physician of Spring field, Mass., who bad removed to Durand, Wis , for the benefit of his health, and who died there. Married by Mayor Oakey Hall. She was adopted by a rich uncle and came east with her mother. She had been sent to Miss Aiken's school to complete her education. Clemenceau fell in love with her at once, and after she left school and was living with her uncle in New York he declared bis passion, and in spite of her uncle's objections they were married by Mayor Oakey Hall in istlit. They went at once to France, and there Clemenceau plunged into that turmoil of politics where be gained renown and great power. The Gallant Made No Impression. An intimate friend of Mrs. Clemenceau said Saturday: -She was called tbe love liest woman in Paris, and the charm was as much in her manner as iu he r face and perfect form. It was said that mi woman iu the capital was as graceful as she. It was not long before she had the French gallants at her feet. They paid her their prettiest compliments aud were amazed to find that they made no impression. The purity of ht r na: ure was her shield. One woman said of Iter once 'that she never knew when a man was making love to her." Pari Thought It '"Very Droll." Mine. Clemenceau was always perfectly devoted to her husband, and three chil dren came to t hem. But the lovely wife and children seemed to have lost their hold cpon the brilliant politician. Then came ugly rumors about M. Clemenceau. Gay Paris laughed. It was so droll that tbe good deputy, who bad led such a strait laced life and who bad always talked so much about principle iu the home life, should do as other men do. Laughed About the Wife, Ton. And they laughed about the wife, too, saying that she was so innocent that she would not know what to do. But at last the American woman could stand it no longer. She applied for a divorce. The application was made secretly that it miyht not injure her husband. And when everything bad been done that she could do Mine. Clemenceau made up her mind to quit Paris.
