QneMlon ol tha I'urcha.e anil Cancell-alio- , of Membtrahtp Certificate. New Yohk, Feb. 8. Special to Tiik Times. The members of the produce exchange are holding nn important election on a mutter which has caused the contest to become exciting. The question to be decided is whether the. members would consider the plan of-fered be the special committee on mem-bership certificates; providing for tho purchase and cancellation of certifi-cates of membership. This revives the old question of the depreciation of the. value of membership certificate and the controversies about the gratuity fund. Tim result of the election is in doubt, The contestants are working very Industriously, and both sides are confident of victory. The probability is that the plan will not be considered. There is strong opposition-- from those who have paid out large assessments to the gratuity fund: The retiring of the membership certificates would, accord-ing to .the plan proposed, deprive of money the heirs of those members who have already paid out large sums in investments. It is claimed by the op-position to the plan that tho retiring of certificates at $1000 was an artificial scheme for advancing the price of the certificates, and that it would help cer-tain men who speculated in certificates. THE LYMPH HASTENED DEATH. Tha Flrat Patient Inoculated la thli Coun-try Di. Under Tr.atin.nt. New Haves, Conn., Feb. 8. George M. Bradley, the first patient In this country to receive lymph inoculation, died yesterday, and a son of Professor Hlake, another lymph patient who has been under treatment for nearly two months, is at the point of death. Brad-ley was 30 years of age and was not in au advanced stage of consumption when he began receiving treatment. During the past few weeks he suffered intensely, as the treatment had a dis-tressing effect, upon his throat, making it difficult and extremely painful to take nourishment. The physicians state death was undoubtedly hastened by the condition of bis throat. Prof. Chittenden said: "I cannot seo how Uradley's death can have any effect upon the value of lymph. It is, perhaps, natural that the public will at first look upon it as showing the failure of tho lymph, but among doctors and people who consider it intelligently I cannot see how it will have any effect. Tho case was a particularly bad one for the use of lymph. ( )ne of "the man's lungs was nearly gone and the other in a bad condition. He was also suffering from laryngitis and it was for this that tho lymph was especially used. The lymph did a great deal of good for this trouble. A man with Uradley's trouble would probably have died with strang-ulation. It is possible the lymph had some remote effect upon the lungs, but I don't think it hastened death.

As the Result of a Friendly Suggestion From the Antborities at the National Capital. TO DISCUSS TRADE EXTENSION. Tha Organ of th. Dominion tiovernment on tha Situation The Proposal. Cam. From Canada. Toronto, Ont., Feb. 2. Tho Empire, the chief organ of the dominion gov-ernment, announces this morning that the governor general has dissolved the house of commons and issued writs for a new parliament. The Empire says: It is understood that the Dominion government has, through her majesty's government, made certain proposals to the United States government, looking to the ex-tension of our commerce with that country. These proposals have been submitted to the President for his consideration, and the Canadian gov-ernment is of the opinion that if these negotiations are to result in a treaty which must bo ratified by parliament, it is evident tho government should be able to deal with a parliament fresh from the people rather than with a moribund house. It is understood that Canada will send a delegation to Washington after March 4, the date on which the present congress expires, for tho purpose of discussing informally the ijuestions of the extension and development of trade between the United States and Canada and the settlement of all differences between the two countries. This dele-gation will visit the United States aB the result of a friendly suggestion from Washington. AND CLACCETT WON'T DOWN. II. la mill Trying t.i Maka Trouble for Dubou. Boise Citv, Ida., Feb. 3. Special to The Times. The Claggett people claim that they have enough votes to elect him senator over Dubois, but this is doubted. They do not see the pit-fall, but continue to stumble along, be-lieving democrats will support Clag-gett. The demoorats, it is said, how-ever, are leading them on, and when the time for balloting comes they will voto for a democrat. This will leave the Claggett people In a peck of trouble. One of the Claggett leaders claims that they have thirty-seve- on joint ballot, while twenty-eigh- t is all that is necessary, and that the scnato will spring the ipiestion tomorrow morning. They say that the Dubois deserters will not vote for Claggett, but are working in harmony for other objects.

(iouffe, was guillotined at 7:','0 this morning. Kyratid met his fate with fortitude and resignation. There were but fow witnesses of the execution owing to tha fact that the lime it was to take place was not generally known. ' When the governor of the prison of La Rotpiette and the prison chaplain, L'Abbe Eatire, were ushered into Ey rauil's cell a short time previous to the hour fixed for the condemned man's they found he was already up and dressed, evidently rewarned, con- - trary to the rules, by some kind hearted official.

Ingall. and d.rkton too, lint Poller a.ouis to I'nlut to tha M.l.atlan of T. C. Piatt. WAsniNCTov, I). C, Feb. S There is considerable speculation in regard to the successor of tho late Secretary Win-dom. It is generally agreed that Mr. McKinley stands best chance of being offered the place if he is willing to take it. Mr. McKinley is not very radical in his opposition to free coinage, and is otherwise sound enough on currency questions. He is a big enough man and enough of a national figure and party leader for such a high place, lie is also familiar with the finances of the government, and a man so gen-erally respected and admired, that his presence iu the cabinet would be well received by the country. Another man prominently mentioned for the place is Senator Spooner, who has but a month to serve iu the senate Spooner is as close to the president as any other man in Washington, and the president admires him very much. But his experience has not been in finance at all and it is doubtful if he would be willing to accept the treasury portfolio. One theory is that the president will rearrange his cabinet with a view to making a place for Spooner. He might make Wanamaker or Tracy sec-retary of the treasury and put Spooner in charge of the navy or the postoflice. Congressman Joe Cannon is also mentioned. His familiarity with the finances of the government is as great as that of any man, and was acquired by his long experince on the appropria-tion committee. He is, besides, on friendly terms with the president, and is a man of sufficient private fortune for such a post. The argument is made in Cannon's behalf that he is as good a politician as financier. Senator Ingalls is another of the men whom gossip has assigned to the place but his appointment is extremely im-probable. Ingalls is not a financier and never was. Clarksnn is also men-tioned, but Clarkson has been talked of for every important post under the government. T. C. I'latt is another candidate and one of the probabilities as his appointment would be a fine stroke of policy. He is an able man and his appointment might break tip the Alger combination which is now becoming more than formidable. ORICINAL VIEWS OF A STATESMAN Soma Thought, on Fluanc. and Hallway, by tha Socfcle.. Saga of KanH. Wichita, Kan., Feb. 3. Jerry Simp-son has delivered himself of a few of his Ideas on the subject of money, lie was not stuck, he said, on the precious mctala as circulating mediums. His ideal was a bit of paper and he would prefer to see all gold and silver left in the mountains where it belonged. Ho would have an estimate made of the amount under the ground and would issue silver certificates equivalent in value to such estimate. Coin in the treasury was liable to be stolen by a foreign treasury, but no amount of faith even could remove the mountains and their precicus freight. As to rail-roads, he thought the people only wanted one. the Union Pacific, on which the nation had a mortgage. When he reached Washington he proposod to in-terview the Union i'acifio people, and if they failed to pay up the interest due the road should become the property of the people. The other fellows always took this course in regard to farms. Jerry said ho was opposed to all usury laws and in favor of nationalization of land and free trade. COLORADO COAL MINE EXPLOSION.

Soon willing hands started the hoisting machinery and the seventy-fiv- e miners were brought to the surface, some more dead than alive, none of them too soon, as the (lames immediately reached the shaft and came up with such feree as to drive everybody away. Explosions have followed every few hours. It is impossible to tell if anyone failed to get out. It is thought that several have perished. THK IDAHO l.KOISl.ATl RE.

THE POLITICAL POT AT MANTI. It ta Nov Almoat at tho Point of Hulling Over. Masti, Utah. Feb. 3. Special to The Times.- - The political war is get-ting hotter. As is usual in such cam-paigns, all the technical points possible are used to defeat the bppoeite party. The people's party bas discovered that Peter II Madsen, 5iie of the citizens' candidates for. city councillor, is not a resident of the city, anfl stllerefore not qualified to hold an office. On the other hand, the citizens declare that Christian P. Larsen, a people's candi-date for justice of the peace, is not a citizen, his residence being outside the city, and must be placed on the de-ferred list. Bets caunot be secured for either side. Scratching of both tickets will be freely resorted to, and the question of who will be elected and who defeated cannot be decided until the ballots are counted on election day. UNION PACIFIC CHANCES.

Berlin, Feb. 8.--- A white b(ok is pub-lished here, containing Emin Pasha's reports to the middle of November last. These reports form a record of extrav-agance and disregard of instruotisns. Fmin ignored the order to found station on Victoria Nyoranza. Instead, he hoisted the tlag at Tabora, in spite of Commissioner Schmidt's efforts to dis-suade him, the commissioner object-ing on the ground of the great expense. Emin spent 150,000 marks, instead of the 00.01)0 marks allowed him. London, Feb. 3. The Times' Berlin correspondent says: The white book issued on the Fwnin expedition shows that in some cases Emin's apparent dis-regard of orders was due to the mis-carriage of letter and dispatches sent him. Wissman seems to have been hasty in his judgment of Emin. Hartlngton Mada au Addreaa. Londoh. Feb. 8. f3pecial to The Times.

A joint committee of tho house and senate has adopted the resolution refusing to re-commend any appropriation for the Columbian exposition. The members of the committee stated that owing to the large deficiency in the treasury, caused by the speculations of the stato treasurer it was inexpedient to make any expenditures that could be avoided.

WANT JUDCE SACHS IMPEACHED- - A I'acifio Coa.t Jurl.t Charged with Pub-licly Gambling at Faro. Pout Townsend, Wash., Feb. 3. Considerable excitement prevails here over the proposed impeachment of Judge Morris B. Sachs, of the superior court, on charges of malfeasance in office, prepared by members of the Port Townsend bar. Sachs came to Wash-ington twelve years ago. In 18H9 he was elected superior judge, but has given general dissatisfaction. He is charged with prejudging cases, utterly disregarding the law and the evidence and constantly violating the law by participating in games of faro openly and notoriously to tho great reproach of the court and the indignation and shame of the community.

The sheriff says his friends furnished him with arms. THE DAY IN TIIK SENATE. A Maaaure Which the Heath of Secretary Windom llrought Forward, Washington, Feb. 3.

WALTER SCOTT. The Independent Nature That Crar.4 f'ompanlonihlp. Atlanta Monthly. The same nature which wanted a dog by him when he was writing, that friendly spirit which craved companion-ship and yet was sturdily independent, turned to the pages of his diary for solace. It waa like patting a dog's head to set down thus the overflow of his communicative mind. We wonder of-ten at the volumiuousnes.s of Scott's work. His correspondence alone was no mean achievement in bulk, and his daily court duties are never counted in. Add his wholly voluntary jouanal, and we catch some notion of the wonderful flow of this great nature. He was giv ing, the whole time. Think of him, as the journal bears testimony, when he was entangled in the r.et of his own misfortunes, and writing heroically for relief not so much of himself as of his creditors, stopping in the most natural manner in the world to write articles for poor Gillies, to help that ne'er-do-wee- l out of his troubles! Of course, the one mighty disclosure which the journal makes to the atten-tive reader is of the magnificent pluck which Scott displayed iu facing his difficulties and setting about the re-moval of them. It brings tears to tha yes to see, as one may, Hie cheerful, not sullen resolution with which this giant wrought at his task, all the while sinking beneath the load he was bear-ing. The steady decay of his physical powers, and the persistence of his energetic will confront one at every turn. While the world lasts this nobis spec tacle will stir the hearts of men, and make many a poet exclaim: -- I ould Have lnughd myssilf to scorn to flo4 Iu that t man to firm a mind." But there are other revelations of Scott's nature scarcely less affecting. Tbe nobles grief over his wife's death, and (he entire absence of comment on the weak side of her character as it reveals itself to readers of Lockhart's iife. is one mark of his generous affec-tion: and another is to be found in the exquisite tenderness of all his expres-sions regarding little John Lockhart. He hangs over tho fate of this appeal-ing child with almost breathless con-cern, and the reserve which Lockhart naturally showed is here removed to make way for a most sweet demonstra-tion. Doubtless Scott's own disability, which brought him increase of suffer-ing in his decline, intensified his com-passio- n for the pale little cripple. In-cidentally, also, the character of Anne Scott stands revealed in a very lovable light. The Journal is a book to laBt. No king in literature has such a chronicle, and as Scott in bis novels has make his principal characters now and again serve as heroism, so here, without egotism, without pettiness, yet with minute detail, he has drawn his own superb figure with astrength which is ineffaceable. THEY CAVE IT UP-- A Texa. Inanrance Company Ooet Into Voluntary Lifinltlatlon.. Tvi.f.r. Tex., Feb. 3.
