Why Our Gold'Goes.
In the report which the British Am-
bassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote, makes
to his government concerning the. re-
cent financial depression in the United
States there is much that is interesting,
as showing how our situation is regard-
ed by foreign powers.
One of his suggestions as to the
cause of gold exports is perhaps partic-
Illarly worthy of consideration. 811‘ J u-
lian estimates that about $150,000,000 13
annually spent by Americans abroad,
or sent home by servant girls, Italians
and Chinese. This, according to the
Ambassador, affords a constant strain
on our specie supply.
There is, no doubt, some truth in the
suggestion, but only this much : We
have to pay to Europe every year for
' goods bought abroad, interest on
American stocks and bonds held there,
the principal of such securities as may
be sold in our markets, the amount
spent by Americans abroad and the
amount saved and sent abroad by the
classes alluded to. But it by no means
follows that these may be particular-
ized or the statement made that any
one of them is the only cause, or even
the main cause, of gold exports. If we
sell enough grain, cotton and general
products at a high enough price, that
may pay for all our debts. If not we
must do one of two things—sell stocks
or bonds to make up the difference,
or send gold abroad. In past years,
when there was a balance against us,we
have done the former ; in recent years,
the foreigners, fearing the stability of
of our securities and currency because
of excesSive purchases of silver, have
insisted on the latter.
Theidea which Sir Julian suggests iii
therefore hardly correct. It is simply
one of several causes which may operate
to produce the result.
Himself and his English government
being eagerly anxious for the adoption
of the free trade policy promised by the
Administration,~he studiously omits:all
reference to the chief cause of Ameri-
can business paralysis, :given as the
true democratic dootrine,asproclaimed
by the Chicho platform, and by ”the
election of November, 1892,as follows :
"“ We denounce Republican protection.
as a fraud, a robbery of , the great
majority'o'f the American people for
the benefit of, the few. " W9."d°918¥6 if,
*0 b6 3, fundamental principle. of! the
Democratic. party, that, the. Federal. .
Government has no . constitutional
power to impose and collect tarifi‘ duties,
except for the purpose of revenue only;
and we demand that the collection of
such taxes shall be limited to the ne-
cessities of the Government when honest
ly and economically administered."
Death of Clarence Selleck
We announce with great regret the
sudden death of Clarence Sellcck' aged‘
24 years, in St.-Luke’s hospital, Chica-
go. He was the only son of Mr. and
Mrs. George W. Selleck, of the firm of
Holmes, Keeler dc Selleck Co. and I
.young man of great ability and promis-
ing a brilliant future. At the time of
bladeath be held the positionof Direct-
or In the Chicago Art .Loan Acacintion.
In lifting a valuable icture about one
week ago he strhined is back and Ce;
rebo spinalzmenlngltis resulted from the
mgnry. This deeply bereaved family
will have the sympathy of all in this,
their first great bereavement. Mr. Sel-
leck left early this morning for Chica-
go,b‘ut a telegram announcing the death
- of his son was received a short while
after heleft. _’ , «

The Knights of Columbus ~have paid
a benefit of $1,000 to the‘h‘eir‘s of James
Conlin who was recently killed on the
Merideu Ar. Waterbury railroad. He paid
his assessments regularly,but at the time
of Conlin's death the question was raised
as to the legality of the claim of the
heirs of the brakeman, inasmuch as by-
laws of the order. will not receive a
brakeman as a member.
The matter was brought to the atten-
tion of the supreme officers, and the
council which received Conlin as a mem-
ber was severely censured. It was de-
cided, however, to pay the insurance.

No Time Cut Down.
The report that the conductors on
the main line of the Consolidated road
will be allowed towork only five days
a week after January 1. is denied by
General Superintendent Platt. He says
that no such order has been decided
upon nor even thought of. On some
of the branches it was possible that
some of the conductors, owing to the
discontinuance of certain trains, would
work only five days a week, but only
a very few would be affected. On the
main line there would be no change.

A press dispatch from Bridgeport

apporntment in a few days. He had

HE RAMS IN lfllllll
PrendergdsI—Gbaded to
.. Deeperation. .
The Poisonous Repeated Interrup-
tions Turned to ‘Account By the
State Prosecutor—The Case to Be
Given to the Jury This Afternoon.
CHICAGO, Dec. 29.——“I was not animated
by malice. I swear before high heaven
that I was not. You are my murderer if
I die.” This was the impassioned lan-
guage with which Prendergast interrupt-
ed Mr. Trude yesterday afternoon. -
. It was the sensation of the trial. For
four hours Mr. Trude had been speaking,
growing more and more earnest and per-
sonal. As the afternoon were away he
assailed the prisoner with all the invect—
ive that his vast resources in language
could command. Looking the prisoner in
the face, the orator moved step by step
nearer to where the murderer sat, direct-
ing closer attention to the shivering
wretch by pointing to where he cowered
in his chair. Mr. Trude intimated that
the killing of Carter Harrison was the re-
sult of malice. Springing to his feet the
murderer denied this in the language
quoted. Standing there with one arm up—
lifted, a. bailiff tugging at his side to in-
.duce him to sit down, with the look of a
wild animal at bay upon his face, the ap—
pearance of the prisoner will long be re-
membered.
When Mr. Trude resumed he waved his
hand toward the prisoner and in com-
menting on the incident said:_~ “It was
acting, that is all.” Punting with the
excitement of his first interruption the
prisoner made an unsuccessful attempt;to
stand up and said: “I would do it again.”
“You remember what Dr. Spray said on
the same subject,” said Mr. Trude to the
jury, “that the prisoner had said that he
was willing to do it over again. II he in-
sane now?” Turning the exhibition made
by the witness to instant account ‘and
proceeding to comment upon it he also al-
luded to the day of the funeral and the
fear that the prisoner showed when the
procession past the jail and the prisoners
shouted “hang Prendergast!”
Mr. Trude said that even these men, ac-
cused of crime, resented the act of Pren-
dergast, and the prisoner broke in with:
“Yes, they were friends of Harrison,
whom he had pardoned out of Bridewell.”
Mr. Trude proceeded to good the infuri-
ated prisoner by alluding to him as a. cow-
ard, and once more the boy sprang to his
feet and shouted, “You are the coward.
You deserve to be hung.” Then Judge
Brentano interfered, saying: “Mr. Pren-
dergast, you must keep quie .” To this
Prendcrgast replied: “I suppose I’ll'have
to. 7
Once more the prisoner and Mr. Trude
came together. It was while the scene at
the accusinntion was being graphically
described by the lawyer-that the prisoner
interrupted by saying: “It’s a lie. I
never pointed my pistol'at the coachman.”
A moment later when a. dart- struck him
in another place he roared: “I am able to
fill—am able to fill any job.” This, was
brought out by the assumption that Gar-
ter; "Harrison might have aroused the

T0 TEST THE LAW.
Corbett and Mitchell’s Arrest. a
Scheme of the Duval Club.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla; Dec. 29,—The arrest
yesterday of Mitchell and Corbett was in
accordance with a prearranged programme
of the Duval athletic club to test the law
in this state in reference to glove contests.
Before January 2, when the principals
are named to appear before the criminal
court of record, another procedure is to be
taken. This is an application fora writ of
habeas corpus which will be made before
Judge Call probably next Monday.
Corbett arid Mitchell are now practically
in custody. The argument. will be that
they are unlawfully detained, and that
their arrest was illegal because there is no
law against glove contests. " -
If Judge Call holds that the arrest was
illegal Mitchell and Corbett will both be
released and will engage in a glove con-
test if they please. If, on the other hand,
Judge Call decides that the arrest wan
legal, then the principals will. be compelled
to appear before the criminal court on the
day named and then their case goes before
a. jury. The opinion is that there is no
jury in Duval county who would find them
guilty. There is another contingency
which may put a new phase on the affair,
and that is the possibility of the governor
instructing the county solicitor to quash
these proceedings, and institute such new
proceedings as he and the attorney general
may agree upon. ~ ' 1
