Erastus Wiman spoke here this evening on "Closer trade relations between the United States and Canada." lie said in part: "In the United States circumstances are extremely favorable to some arrangement whereby trade may be extended to all parts of the continent, north and south. The demand for free raw material in lum l)er, irog, copper, coal, fish, fruit and wool and also small grains is very strong, while the necessity for enlarged markets is equally apparent. The Pan-American '. congress is an indication for a desire of en larged relations with neighboring nations; why not theu with Canada, already the best customer of the United States? The enormous treasury surplus calls for a reduction in customs and as those levied on Canadian products amount to only 5, 000,000, equal to less than 10 cents per head to the population of the United States, nothing would bo more popular than its removal if an extension of commerce to continental proportions and the opening up of an abundant source of supply could thereby be achieved. "In "Canada also circumstances point plainly to the necessity of change in the po icy of the country. The population is declining, the debt increasing and the fig ures show that si nee confederation twenty years ago the deficit between exports and Imports amount to $15,000;000 while the ex cess in the United States during the same period amounted to $8,000,000. England is exacting interest from Canada at the rate of $25,000,000 a year, more than her total export of bread stuffs. Mean time the young men of Canada ask what is the good of British connection if it pre vents the country from an alliance with the United States, by which alone the vast re.souict'S of the dominion can secure prop er development. If commercial union Ciuld be achieved by concurrent legisla t ion a great stride forward would be taken toward a unification of interests between the two countries. If this resulted in a political union in time it would be wel come to the United States, and perhaps in time to Canada. If, on the other hand, independence from Great Britain was desired it would not be ser iously objected to. With British capital pouring out at its present rate it would take less than fifty years for Great Britain to control one-half of the indus trial establishments of the United States mid with the country paying annually at least 100,000 to London in the shape of dividends or interest the United States would be far more important to Great Britain than Canada. "Apart from this momentory interest it is significant that the great statesmen of Englaud recognize in the United States the representative of English civilization on the continent of North America as shown by the remarkable speech of Mr. Gladstone at Paris, in which he predicted in America in a hundred years a popula tion of GOO.000,000. If with the United States of Brazil following in the steps of the United State of Columbia, which followed in the wake of the United Slates of America, there should be created the United States of Australia, and eventually the United States of Canada. Great Britain would not bo injured but rather glorified by thus permitting nearly SO per cent of her empiro to assume a posi tion of independence, telf-reliauco and prosperity, so glorious as that of her neighboring republics. The world moves rapidly in these days, as shown by the Brazilian "revolution and if at the next general elections a verdict is rendered in Javor of closer commercial lelatiousby Canada with the United States, a great step will have been made forward in the interests of the two great nations, which by harmony of action would develop for the good ol uuukiud its abundant riches."

INSURRECTIONISTS GET OFF EASILY. SAN FRANCISCO, CaL, Nov. 23. Hawaiian idvices received by the steamer Zealandia today state that Robert Wilcox, leader of the insurrection at Honolulu last Juiy, has been acquitted. The other persons engaged in the insurrection have also been tried. The Chinaman who was convicted was fined 5250, and light fines were im posed upon the ten or twelve natives. Summons, the Gelgian who was the first one of the conspirators convicted, has had Iiis death, sentence commuted by King Kalakua to one year's imprisonment, after Which he will probably be banished.

A TEST OF THE LAW. Topeka, Kan., November 23 Attorney General Kellogg has filed in the supreme court his brief in the case of the state of Kansas vs F. W. Fulkner. It raises a new question regarding the prohibitory law whether the shipment of intoxicating liq uors from another state iuto Kansas and the sale of these liquors in the original packages, is a violation of the law. This is the first time the question has been raised. Faulkner was agent of the Pacific express company at Oketo, Kan., and act ing in that capacity received at different times express matter from Blue Springs. Neb., consisting of several boxes contain ing whisky. He sold this liquor in the original packages and was convicted of violating the prohibition law. The case promises to bo the most interesting one brought before the court for some time. I have found out a gift for my fair. It is not a ring of gold, nor flowers for her hair, nor pearls for her white neck, but Salvation Oil for her sore throat. She's a singing bird.

GOOD CHANCES FOR IRRIGATION. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 25. Robert Hay, assistant state geologist, was directed some time sinco by the state board of agriculture to investigate the artisan wells of Western Kansas in relation to the matter of irrigation. He has just render ed his report to Secretary Moehler. The report shows that these wells are ,more numerous than is generally supposed and canJbemadefggjaLvalue. tJ"IiCftof. water supply. Mr llay inspected the wells in Meade, Hamilton, Ford, Stanton, aud Morton counties. He says that north east of Meade Center is a region six or eight miles iu length and about two miles in width iu which is a number of artisan wells that are flowing. There are sixty five of these wells. Every farm in the locality has one. The report concludes: "A ten gallon well would irrigate five acres. The exist ing Meade county wells are yieldiuga flow of about (500 gallons per minute. From this estimate, which is a reasonable one, it will be seen that 300 acres could be read ily irrigated and small fruits and vegeta bles be raised in abundance iu auy year, however drougthy, and orchards and groves made to be made to beautify the re gion. These in turn would serve to con serve the moisture supplied by the rainfall. Each of these artesian districts would be a center of fertility from which modifying influences would go out to the adjacent regions.' Send a 2.cent stamp to Dr. J. C. Aver & Co..

Horen zen, an Episcopal clergyman, was found in a woodshed in the rear of his premises with a deep gash in the left side of his neck and another on the lert wrist from which he had bled to death. It was a case of deliberate suicide, as shown by the sur roundings. He had taken a bed comforter from the house, spread it upon the floor of the woodshed, removed his over and under coats and rolled them up so as to make a pillow for his head on the comforter, then sat down upon the improvised couch and inflicted the wounds that resulted in his death. It is supposed that he committed the act ou Friday afteruoou. as be had uot been seen since Sp. m. on that day until his body was discovered this noon. WILY BISMARCK HIS AUSTRO-RUSSIAN ALLIANCE SEEMINGLY SUCCESSFUL. The Czar Prohibits Farther Inter ference in the Affairs of Bulgaria. But Eussian Troops Are Constantly Massed Upon the Frontier of the Empire. An Independent Government Granted Trentino in Purtherance of the Plan The Brazilian Republic Hot Con sidered Permanent -Minor Gossip from Berlin Items from Brazil. Copyrlghted.lSSD.Tjy the New York Associated Press Berlin, Nov. 23. The terms of the truce between Austria and Russia which Prince Bismarck forced on Count Kalnoky are now already partly filled on the Russian side. The czar has stopped pair-Slavist committee from, sending agents into Bulgaria and peremp torily warned them not to foster in the meantime with Bulgaria any agitation. Finally Emperor Francis Joseph, though resenting the suggestion of the cession of Trentino to Italy, has consented to grant to Trentino an autonomous local admin istration, separate from the German Tyrol, of which it has hitherto formed a part. The members of the Italian Tyrol will henceforth assemble at Trent, The diet at Innesbuck supported the separation. Em peror Francis Joseph has also ordered the release of several freedentists imprisoned at Innesbruck, including Ross and Zampieri, editors of the Italian Inde pendente, who were convicted of treason. The concessions amount practically to little. If the Innesbruck diet had not voted for the separation of Trentino Em peror Francis Joseph would not have ac ceded to the proposal A further reao 1 for his giving his assent is that by doiug so a stop was put to the maneuvering of Signor Crispi, the Italian premier, for an nexation of Trentino to Italy. Signor Crispi has now abandoned his plan of vis iting Prince Bismarck at Friedericks Ruhe. Russia, behind a peaceful mask, does not cease her massing of troops upon the front iers. "Within three weeks eight regiments ot cavalry and six of infantry have been added to the troops stationed on the Gallicianand Buckevinan frontiers. The work of the railway extension on the Vihia, Kiovano, Warsaw and Kieff lines is being accelerated in order that the stragetic system may bo completed by May. The news from Brazil is watched with great interest. Public opinion tends to doubtthepermanancy of the republic and a prediction which finds some credence is that the republic will break into three states, equatorial, central and southern, the latter having a large German popula tion, claiming the protection of the Father land. On the bourse, following the Paris impulse Brazilian tons were sold heavily, as were also shares of the banks concerned therein. The Duchee bank has thought it necessary to issue a notice stating that it is not interested in Brazilian finances. The members of the Coburn family, who nre relatives of Dom Pedro, met at Vienna today to consider what action they should take in the event of appearances or symp toms of a monarchial reaction. Tele grams from Lisbon were read expressing the hope of the restoration of the mon archy in Brazil. The family feeliuc is in favor of an attempt to place Dom Pedro's sailor grandson Prince Pedro upon the throne. It has been decided, however, to await the arrival of the exiled emperor. Emperor William intends to quarrel with the grand duke of Hesse for the part taken by him in the Morier affair. The emperor still withholds his assent to the betrothal of his sister Margaret to the czarwitch. Prince Bismarck is re ported as approving the marriage. Tho princess herself is willing since meeting her suitor at Athens. The reluctance of the emperor is attributed to the weakly constitution of the Czarwitch. The elections in Berlin for renewing one third of the members of the municipal council resulted in the return of thirty four progressists and six socialists. No conservative was returned. There was a large increase in the socialist vote. In the reichstag today Herr Singer challenged the truth of Count Herbert Bismarck's statement shat the Wohlegemuth incident had been closed with Switzerland, on the contrary, he said, tho socialists had reason to know that pressure was still being brought to bear upon Switzerland against the social ists. Count Herbert replied that the Swiss government was actively submitting so cialists to the laws and that Germany had no one to complain of. A mine near Recklinghausen, Westpha lia, has been flooded and 250 men have been imprisoned since last evening. Should the water recede there is some hope that the men will be rescued. Emperor William has authorized the establishment of a lottery to be managed by a syndicate for the purpose of raising the sum ot 7,000,000 marks to clear a site on which to erect a monument to the late Emperor William. CONFLICTING REPORTS OF PETERS FATE. LONDON, November 23. Conflicting re ports in regard to the fate of Dr. Peters' exploring party have been Jreceived today. A dispatch direct from Zanzibar says: News has been received here from Laumi confirming the reports of the death of Dr. Peters, another German, and all the na tives of Dr. Peters' party except five por ters. The massacre occurred at Addu Burroraba, ou the Tana river, eight days march' above1 Korkorro. Dr. Peters was friendly "witli- the local tribes, but not with the chief of the Somalis, who "with a party of his tribesmen made a night at tack on the camp. After killing the mem bers of Dr. Peters' party, the natives looted the camp,pf money and everything of value and drove off the donkeys and camels. On the other hand, a dispatch from Ber lin says that the Emin Bey relief commit tee has received a cable dispatch from the Hansing company at Zanzibar which states that Lieutenant Borchsrt, one of the commanders of the second column of Drs. Peters' expedition, reports from Lo komaui that the Somahs dispersed an English expedition: not tho exDedition under command of Dr. Peters. Lieuten ant Borchert further says that Dr. Peters and his party are safe and all well, and that they have established a fortified sta tion at the foot of Mount Kenia. DOM PEDRO'S PLANS. "WAsmXGTOX, Nor. 23. It was learned that the deposed emperor, Dom Pedrond, his family, who are now on the ocean, will make tSeir home in Toulon, France. It was first supposed that he would go di rect to Lisbon, but private dispatches re ceived here are to the effect that he will I spend the winter at least in Toulon, varied I by occasional visits to Nice. ' "One of the most remarkable things con nected with this chance of government in Brazil is the fact that it is impossible to , get any reply to dispatches sent to Kio. By this is meant private dispatches.

Ex plains the Present Case. Chicago, 111.. Nov. 23. In response to a telegram from the Associated Press asking for his statement concerning the investiga tion now in progress in Salt Lake City, Wilford Woodruff, president of the Mor mon church, sends the following dispatch: Salt Lake City, Noy. 23. This is the periodical anti-Mormon sensation which we are accustomed to exnect in November. Congress meets in"December and it is persumed that the usual efforts will be made to secure legislation against the Mormons. In addition to this, I might ex plain tkat we are on the eve of an import ant municipal election here, in which the anti-Mormon party, by preventing the naturalization of Mormons and in other improper ways, hope to be successful. I can truthfully say that there is nothing in the Mormon religion that is not consistent with the most patriotic devotion to the government of the United States. The revelations and commandments to the church require that the constitution and laws of the land shall be upheld. It is also a part of our belief that a time will come when this country shall be distracted by departures from the spirit and letter of the constitution, and when general law lessness will prevail and that when that condition shall arrive the Mormon people will step forward and take an active part in rescuing the nation from ruin. As a people the Mormons have the highest ven eratiou from the institutions of the repub lic. In regard to the claim that the priest hood or chief authorities of the church assert or usurp the right to control the Mormon people in all their temporal, including practical affairs, I would say I am the present head of the church and do not make any such claim. It would be impossible to exercise it if I did. Concerning the cry about blood atonement, well, there is thisi The foun dation of our religious faith is belief in the atoning of blood, of Christ, through which the resurrection will be brought about. We believe in the scripture doctrine,"Vho so sheddeth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed." We also believe that all executions for murder should be under the law of the land and by its officers only. Statements made by two or three apostate witnesses to the effect that the endowment ceremonies involved the death penalty upon those who leave the church and dis obev the priesthood, are simply untrue. "The Mormons on the stand decline to disclose the formula of the endowment be cause secret religious rites and ceremonies are the property of the individual citizen and do not belong to the state. You might as well ask why a Mason, if he were placed on the witness stand, should re fuse to reveal the rites and signs of that order. I myself am a Master Mason and have been informed that mnny Masons, as well as people not connected with that fraternity, have been indignant at the at tempt that has been made during tho last few days to exhort personal information from Mormons. Members of other be nevolent societies can see that their rights and organizations would be endangered should such proceedings carry." Ayer's sarsaparilla. Its record for forty years is one of triumph over blood dis eases. MRS. SOUTHWORTH CLOSELY HELD. New York, Nov. 23. Mrs. Hannah B. Southworth, who murdered Stephen L. Pettus yesterday, spent a very restless night in her cell. This morning there was a slight improvement in her condition. The city physician has given orders that Mr. Southworth be kept as quiet as possi ble and in consequence the prison warden has issued peremptory orders that no one outside of the woman's counsel and rela tives be permitted to see her. The warden stated that it was expected that Mrs. Southworth would be much quieter by to morrow night and theu be inclined to talk about the tragedy. Counsel for the mur deress called at the prison early today and talked with his client for a long time. When seen later on and questioned as to the line of defense, if any, which bad been determi ned upon, he replied that the defense undoubtedly would be insanity. There was no doubt, Mr. Hummel said, that Mrs. Southworth was insane. His client was incoherent in her statements today, the rssult of the great shock her nervous sys tem had sustained, but in a day or two she would bo more rational. As matters stand Mrs. Southworth's statement of her mauy wrongs is quite clear enough to ena ble counsel to grapple with the case. Mr. W. B. Martin, the woman's brother, was amoug her early callers. The scene be tween brother and sister is described ns of a most affecting character. Numbers of curious people visited the Tombs this morning, thinking Mrs. Southworth would be brought there. They were dis anpointed. Next Tuesday she will be at the inquest. PEns' soap secures a beautiful com plex, on. SCOTT'S EMULSION DOES CURE CONSUMPTION In its First Stages.

A mob consisting forty mounted men weli armed and mask ed, went to the residence of Henry King, the negro jailor, and demanded the keys of the jail, which he 6toutly refused to surrender. The mob then burst open the doors of the jailor's house and again de mand edihe-keys. OnTefusnl t givctnem up tliey'pIacea'A rope aroand MA'necfc and' dragged him to the jail, several hundred yards from the house. Just be fore the jail waa reached, the keys were heard rattling in King's pocket. The mob theu took the keys from him and made him lead the way to the cell in which Bland was confined. Bland had nothing to say when the lynchers came to his cell, but was per fectly quiet. He was tied hand and feet and carried off about seventy-five yards from the jail, where he was swung up by a rope to the branch of a tree. He begged piteously for life, but the lynchers were draf to bis appeals for mercy. His body was riddled with bullets and left dangling from the tree, where he was found at day light this morning.
