LONDON, Jan. 19.-The Boston Globes

lows: Your correspondent has conversed
with number of city bankers and financial
people in the city within few days past
for the purpose of getting at the general
sentiment as 10 how the silver agitation in
America is likely to effect the money sys-
TENS of the old world. Perhaps the aver
age view may be best expressed by the fol-
lowing summary of the statements made by
an influential banker in response to the
question what he thought of the arguments
put forth by the silver men in congress.
I'VE don't care rap for their arguments"
ne said, but we do care considerably what
they do. Their arguments are worth Just "a
much as those of a merchant trying to dis
pose OF his wares. They have got silver to
sell, and they are trying TO force 1t into use
as money, right or wrong. Their arguments
are interested and therefore valueess from a
scientific view. AS l say, we are only inter
ested in what they do. lf America adopts

Then you do not admit that the word coin

to diSbelieve that there was vile friend in

the 10th of May, Frank Krusen received a
letter from Oscar that Mrs. Krusen had be-

OF Krusen and son, he stated that he saw
no prospect of KruSen securing land. and
that he had abandoned the project, leaving
Krusen and the boy at Wichita, stating that
they would prosecute the search into Ar

that she was widow, and that Oscar

PANIC AMONG OLD CLERKS.

ready i'm office Examined.

Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan 59.-The old clerks
in the departments are trembling in their
boots over bill introduced by Congressman
Caldwell of Tennessee providing for civil
service examinations for those already in
Office. AS everybody understands, the
civil service law was not ex-post factO i'm its
character-that Is TO say, it did not require
those government employees who were
already in Office when the law took effect
TO submit to civil service examinations ex-
cept i'm cases of promotion. Mr.. CaldwelIs
bill provides that the employees in the
various branches of the service shall be
made subject to examinations the same
as those who came i'm after the law
had passed. He claims that if civil service
Is good for the new employees it ought
to be good for the old ones as well; that if
it improves the quality of the service il
ought to De made to extend To the great
bulk of those employed in that line of duty
The idea is a popular one with the friends
of civil service reform, and with the Dem
ocrats generally. Especially is this the case
with the last-named class. for they see by il
they will probably cause a good many va
cancies in the ranks filled by the Republi-
can administration. The indications are
that the bill may pass. OF course every
Democrat will support il, whether he is
civil-service man at heart or not and there
are a good many Republicans who cannot
20 consistently back Oh the record in sup
port of the civil service bill. OF the 10, 600
who were in Office here when the civil
service law took effect probably not more
than {, 900 or z. 900 would be able TO weather
an examination of this sort.

standing between the families of w. w.
WestbrOOk and AnSOn Gibson, living one
mile north of POnca, came to a bloody
climax to-day. OF the WestbroOk family,
besides the old man, there are three male
members, his sons, of fighting age. named
Jim. Bob and Tom. OF the Gibson family,
besides the chief. there is only one son,
named Willie. The trouble seems to have
originally grown out of the fact that West

the eliminating cause to-day was
a dead mule. Several DAYS

mule by bronchitis. Old man
Gibson bOught0the carcass TO poison
wolves for the bounty. The first night
the catch was five large healthy wolves.
The WestbrOoks heard of this. and, envious
of GibsOn's success. cut the dead mule in
twain and converted half to their own use.
When Gibson went to his wolf bait the
second morning he discovered the robbery,
and traced it in the snow to the WestbrOOk
place. He succeeded in recovering the
carcass, which raised the

the hostile parties then marched toward
