. Plots to kill both President Montt and
Canto, have been discovered and thwar
ted. Theattempt on President Montt's
life took place last Sunday night. The
miscreants engaged in it, removed the
rails three kilometers north of Male

the train which Montt was announced
to take. Fortunately Montt stopped off
at a fide station, and moreover the re
moval of the rails was discovered by the
railroad officials before any damage was
done. When the Santiago express for
this citv arrived at Llaillai ..yesterday,
General Camo, who was one of the pas- j
sengers, left his seat in the Pullman car j

Dernier Kessort of the Gold Bug". -
Washington, Feb. 16. The donations
of the western fanners and millers to the
starving millions of Russia seem to have
served a practical purpose in the house
today as a bludgeon for the gold men to
oppose the steady march of .the lower
house toward free coinage legislation.
In today's struggle politics had no place,
the filibusterers and their opponents be
ing alike members of the democratic
party. Tracy, of New York, led the
flght against the consideration of a res
olution authorizing transportation of
donations to the starving Russians, but
did it simply because he desired to keep
as many measures as possible in the
way of the Bland free coinage bill.

bers of his congregation. These the

breath expecting to be named;" and
blessed their stars when they escaped.
The contribution after the services was
remarkably large.

Shall Vtak be Americanized.
Washington, Feb. 17. The house
committee on territories gave a hearing
this morning to the opponents of the
proposed legislation to give a local, gov
ernment to the territory of Utah', as
proposed in the bill introduced by a dele

senting the liberal party in Utah. That
party, Powers said,-was composed of
democrats and republicans, who for the
time being had cast aside their national
political preferences and had joined
hands for the purpose of building up an
American state in the mountains. It
was because the Mormon people were
honest and.sincere that the liberal party
opposed the measure, the time not hav
ing come, in its opinion, for it. . .

Some months ago Cunningham & Co.
were drilling a well on the farm .of Ira
Stanffer. One nitrht while the well was
J drilling Casper Keichuer, a crippled jew
eler of Zelienople, dreamed that -the well
was dry, and in the same vision he saw
a spot on the farm of John Shriver,
near the Stanffer farm, where a well
was flowing 1 ,000 barrels per day.
Eeichner related his . dream to Cun
ningham & Co., but a smile was all he
got for his trouble. When the well on
the Stanffer farm was completed it was
a first class duster. In their adversity
the owners of tle well went to Keichner
and asked him to show them the spot on
the Shriver farm where in his dream ha
had seen -the-coveted 1,000 barrel well.
He accompanied them to the place and
a well was started on the spot. A few
weeks ago the pay streak was reached,
tne well actually flowed l.uuu barrels a
day and the place is the richest oil farm
in Butler county today. Pittsburg Cor.

A Woman's Strange Bequest.
A very aged lady, Hme. Guzman, who
died on the 30tb of June last in Pan,
was deeply interested, especially during
her last years, in the descriptions of the
planet Mars and the theoretical possi
bility of communication between our
planet and the neighbor worlds. Further
more, expressing in her will a . desire
peculiarly astronomical, she made the
following legacy: ' "
: A prize of 100,000 francs is bequeathed
to the Institute of France science sec
tion) for the person ."no matter of what
nationality, who shall discover within
ten years from the present time a means
of communicating with a star (planet or
otherwise) and of receiving a reply.
The testatrix has especially in view
the planet Mars, upon, which the atten
tion and investigation of savants has
been directed already. If the Institute
of France does not accept the legacy it
will pass to the Institute of Milan, and
in case of a new refusal to the Institute
of New York. Cor. New York Herald.
