the British ambassador, and Senor
Jose Andrade, the Venezuelan minis¬
ter in the office of Secretary Olney, at
the state department, Tuesday after¬
noon, signalizing the amicable termi¬
nation of a controversy that has lasted
nearly a century, as well as the resump¬
tion of diplomatic negotiations be¬
tween two countries which had been
suspended for ten years.
The British ambassador, accompa¬
nied by Mr. Henry Outram, Bax Iron¬
side, attache of embassy, reached the
department just before 2 o’clock, and
a few moments later the Y r enezuelan
minister appeared with Mr. Manuel
M. Ponte, Jr., secretary of legation,

of Y'enezuela before the commission

The Herald correspondent in Mana-

ML LTI-MURBERER CAPTURED.
Frank Butler Tracked 6,000 Miles and Is
Now in Irons.
George Edward Butler, alias Ashe,
the murderer, whose arrival on the
ship Swanhilda was so long expected,
i s now i n the San Francisco jail, hav-
i ng been followed by detectives from
Australia and captured on his arrival,
Butler is believed to have committed
a greater number of murders than anv
criminal of the century. The record
of his crimes among the Blue Moun-
tains of Australia is inconceivablv hor-
r ible and shows him to be a fiend* with-
out a human instinct or emotion,
His scheme of crime was unique,
He selected for his victims men who
had come among the Australian colo-
n i s t s in search of gold. They were
mostly unknown men concerning
whose disappearance it was extremely
unlikely that inquiry would be made,
These men he would lure into the
mountains upon the pretense of show-
i ng them a valuable mineral vein,
YVhen he had led them beyond the
limits of human habitation ‘he would
induce them to take axe and shovel
and dig into the earth, YY T hen the
hole was big enough to serve as the
digger’s grave Butler, from behind,
would deliberately end their life by a
pistol shot or a knife,

AS ECKLES* SUCCESSOR
Charlea G. Daw*, of Illinois, Is Promi¬
nently Mentioned.
From information gathered from ap¬
plicants for the position who have
talked to the president-elect on the
subject, the Associated Press feels
warranted in stating that Charles G.
Daws, of Evanston, Ill., will be ap¬
pointed comptroller of the currency to
succeed James H. Eckels, w r ho has
made a great reputation in that posi-
tion.
The friends of Mr. Dawes believe he
will fully sustain the high standard of
the office and add national prestige to
the position. He is at present a mem¬
ber of the national republican execu¬
tive committee and has achieved great
success at the bar in Nebraska and in
business circles in Chicago during the
past three years.
NO GOLD CONTRACTS.
Oklahoma Legislature Passes Prohibitory
Measures.
The fusion democratic-populist leg¬
islature of Oklahoma has passed a bill
prohibiting gold contracts in the ter¬
ritory; also one abolishing the militia,
declaring it to be the instrument of a
corrupt central government, used to
protect corporations and oppress the
people. The debate was very sensa¬
tional on both measures and even more
radical things are expected.
FAY'ORABLE FOR YVILSON.
He May Get the Secretary of Agriculture
Portfolio.
James Wilson, of Iowa, who has
been prominently mentioned in con¬
nection with the position of secretary
of agriculture, arrived at Canton Fri-
dav evening, and drove immediately to
Mr. YIcKinlev s residence. Major Me-
*
Kinley, who knew Mr. Wilson when
he was in congress, greeted him heart-
ily, and they at once withdrew for a
private conversation, which lasted
more than an hour. Mr. YVilson in all
probability will be offered and will ac¬
cept Ihe portfolio of agriculture.
FOR ROUND COTTON BALES.
Great Scheme Under Contemplation by
Galveston Capitalists.
It is learned from an authentic
source that there is in contemplation
at Galveston, Texas, in the near future

capital of $5,000,000 having for its
object the introduction and oppera-
tion of cylindrical bale cotton com-
presses throughout the cotton states,

and Postponed.

before JndffP T t Bants in the circuit
court at

YYhen the prisoner came into court
and the case was announced Solicitor
Ferguson, who appeared for the state,
stated that the original warrant on
which the prisoner was arrested had
been lost, and that there was no war¬
rant to try him on. The solicitor had
drawn up another warrant, but no one
had volunteered to swear to it. He
recalled the law that prevented a so¬
licitor from swearing out a warrant.
Deputy Sheriff Waldrop entered the
room at this time and on the question
stated that he had sworn out the orig¬
inal warrant. YVhere it now was he
did not know.
Chief Deputv Sheriff Warnock was
called into court to explain matters,
He said the warrant issued before
Judge Banks had been taken to Geor¬
gia with the requisition papers and the
governor of Georgia had kept the orig¬
inal warrant and issued one of his own
instead. That second warrant was
now in the possession of the court.
Judge Banks remarked that the loss
of the warrant was a very extraordina¬
ry circumstance.
Chief Deputy Warnock suggested
that he could not make the governor
of Georgia “disgorge” papers.
YVarnock was instructed to telegraph
the governor at once for the original
warrant issued by Judge Banks. In
the meantime the trial was postponed.
MR. GAGE TALKS.
He Says the Country Shall Be Given a
Business-Like Administration.
Lyman J. Gage, who has accepted
the offer of the secretaryship of the
treasury in President-elect McKinley’s
cabinet, arrived at Chicago from Can¬
ton Friday. YYhen asked as to what
his course would be as secretary of the
treasury, Mr. Gage said:
“It will be my chief aim that the
country shall be given a business-like
administration, so far as the duties
that devolve on the secretary of the
treasury are concerned. My appoint¬
ments will be made with regard for
merit and not political obligation.”
Mr. Gage is now busy putting his
affairs in shape for the severance of
his connection with the First National
bank.

ORGAN OF NATIONAL FARMERS’
ALLIANCE THINKS SO.
SUSPICIONS ROUND COTTON BALES.
Makes the Declaration that Corporations
Are Hatching a Scheme to Control Gins
and the Price of Cotton.
The Progressive Farmer, the organ
of the National Farmers’ Alliance, in
its latest issue, says: “We have just
learned of a gigantic and diabolical
combine about to be effected to control
the price of cotton.
“The plan is to secure charters and
establish gins with compress attach¬
ments at as many points as possible
in the cotton states. The bales are to
be round instead of square. Cotton
buyers will co-operate and force farm¬
ers to have their cotton ginned at these
new gins by refusing to pay as much
for cotton put up in the ordinary way.
This will compel the present owners
of gins to go out of business.
“The railroads will haul round bales
cheaper than square bales. The cot¬
ton seed oil mills will, like the new
gins and compresses, be located main¬
ly on railroad lines, and the seed men
■will always be on hand to get bargains,
as many farmers would sell seed
cheaper rather than haul them a long
distance home.
“To defeat this scheme it will re¬
quire the united efforts of all the
farmers in the cotton states. It is
probable application will be made for
charters for such enterprises to the
present and all legislatures held in the
near future.”

SUGGESTIVE MESSAGE
Transmitted to Tennessee Legislature By
Governor Taylor.
Governor Taylor has sent a message to
the Tennessee legislature covering
several of the more important
questions before that body and pro¬
mising a later message concerning
minor points. He pledges himself to
aid in every effort to redeem the
pledges made.
He says to preserve free government
and popular liberty, the integrity of
the ballot must be maintained at all
hazards. He says it is alarming when
political parties flood states with money
to debauch the ballot box and then fill
the associated press with slanders upon
the people whom they have failed to
corrupt, and the danger is augmented
when the general assembly is invoked
to reverse the result because a suffi¬
cient amount of money was expended
in the campaign by the defeated party
to justify them in the belief that they
bought the state.
Eckels’ Financial Views.
The exchange of views between
Comptroller Eckels and members of

dition would be through a proper bank¬
ing bill and a gold standard.

and the president nominated Colonel
John M. Wilson to succeed him, with
the rank of brigadier general. Gen¬
eral Craighill has been eligible for re¬
tirement since July 1st, 1893, and
would have been compulsorily retired
July 1st, next.

The Value of Cood Roads.
Cultivating ten acres, eight mile?
from the station. I buy two tons of
fertilizer for $70, says a correspondent
of the Leesburg (Fla.) Commercial.
This quantity makes eight loads for
one horse, and six hours are required
for a trip. The time of myself anil
horse is worth sixty cents per load. I
make 500 crates of vegetables, which
require sevenfy-one trips to get them
to the station, at a cost of $42.(50. On
hard roads I could haul my $70 worth
of fertilizer In four trips of four hour-
each. at a cost of $1.00. I could haul
my 500 crates of vegetables in thirty-
five trips of four hours each, at a cost
of $14. On the sand roads one horse
is required seventy-one days to ship
my crop, which is a longer time than
the shipping season; hence I am com
peled to keep two horses during the
year, or hire from my neighbors at a
busy time. The cost of keeping the
second horse may be safely estimated
at $2. So much of my time is used in
my trips to town that during three
months of the year I am compelled t«>
hire an extra hand, which costs tue
about $45. The foregoing items will
suffice to show that bad roads cost on
my ten acre crop $101.S0, being a tax
of over $10 per acre.

needlessly, be¬
cause man can
only work from theory, and at best only-
patch up. without removing the cause.
Proof is abundant that Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound re¬
moves the cause, gives strength to the
weakened organs, vigorous health to
the system, and therefore beauty to
the face and form.
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn. Mass., gladly
answers, free of charge all letters.
Here is one of the results :
“ Three months ago, I wrote you a
letter describing my troubles, which
were inflammation of the womb and
bladder. I had not seen a well day
since the birth of my second child, 10
years ago. I had spent hundreds of
dollars for doctors and medicines.
“ Such pains as I endured. My back
ached, my feet and limbs were swollen,
and it was almost impossible for me to
stand ; I could not walk any distance.
I received 3 r our answer to my letter,
and followed closely all your advice,
and I have been using Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Compound for three months.
Now I can work all day without pain.
I have recommended the Compound to
many of my friends, and gladly recom¬
mend it to all women in any way
afflicted with female troubles." —Lydia
