Foreign sentiment ON B.metaIIsm.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE president
to-day, in answer to a resolution adopted
by the senate Dec. o, transmitted copies Of
documents showing the action taken by him
TO ascertain the sentiments of foreign gov
e-nments in regard to the establishment Of
an International ratio between gold and
silver. The correspondence is accompanied
by letter from Secretary Bayard to thu
president, in which he SAYS in part:
1t has been the object of this department
and its agents, whilst avowing our readinesf
to cooperate, not so much TO impress our
own opinions and wishes upon others, as
to obtain well-considered and independent
views from influential, responsible and COM
petent sources in order TO lay them before
congress. First. the active status Of tht
metallic currencies in the respective coun
tries, and, secondly. the intentions and poll
cies of those governments in relation to tho
subject, with details of their action up TO the
present time. 1t is DeIieved thar the accom-
panying letters from the ministers OF th{
United States to Great Britain, France an@
Germany respectively summarize and convey
the true condition of opinion, and iutention
of the governments and people TO whom they
have been severally accredited.
The letter then mentions the designation
of Mr.. Marble as a confidential agent q
obtain information upon the subject, and
saws no separate report by Mr.. Marble has
been made because the results OF his inves-
tigatiohs appear fully in the letters OF
Messrs. Phelps, McLane and Pendieton-
These gentlemen, after full investigation,
see little to encourage bimetallSm in Eng
land, France and Germany.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Jan. Ashland
City, Tenn, is in turmoil Of excitement
over the assassination and robbery Of II.
c. Adams, the wealthiest and most promi-
nent man in the CITY. Adams started to a
neighboring town to buy stock. got drunk
at saloon kept by Wash Simmons. the
only saloon in Chatham county, and accom-
panied by several others started back to
Ashland City. He fell off his horse several
times, being too drunk 10 stay on, and was
finally left by the others. This morning he
was found dead, with ten CHASTITY
wounds, and his money gone.
Though at first mysterious, evidence was
soon found duplicating Simmons. He.
after the murder. built a fire and burned
his knife and OvercOat. The evidence was
so strong that Simmons confessed the kill
ing. pleading self-defense, but as Adams
was dead drunk the plea is disbelieved. and
intense excitement prevails. There are
loud threats of lynching. and the sheriff
has summoned large force to guard the
jail. A mob is expected, as Adams was
very popular and Simmons has long defed
public sentiment by running his saloon, the
only one in the county. II the mob does
not get him he will be brought to Nashville
early in the morning for safekeeping.

BROKE UP A FAMILY.
4 Wife Casts Off Her Husband for n
Dude Friend.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO. Jan. Ton the register of
the Desplaines street station. under date of
Jan 8, appears the entry Edwin Peters, {"
and opposite the name. instead of the Gus
tomary charge, is written ''error." Peters
was not at the station this morning, but
with some difficulty he was traced to the
Harrison street station, where he was seen
by reporter. He is young Englishman,
who was assisted TO come to this country
by a theological student named Henry
Graham, to whose wife Peters is distantly
related. When he got here he went to live
with Graham's family, and made himself
very much at home. After while he
found employment as restaurant waiter at
$50 Washington street, and ceased to reside
with the Grahams- But Graham had
noticed familiarity between his wife and
Peters which he thought not in strict ac-
cord with conjugal fidelity. He watched
her one night. and saw her meet Peters.
He came forward and decreed that she
should choose between them on the spot.
She chose the lover, and the arrest last
night was the result, the abandoned hus-
band being the complainant. Graham is a
student at the Congregational theological
seminary. and has been doing
SOME MINISTERIAL WORK
in the way of filling supplies" He came
to this country from England last April,
and having perfected arrangements to study
theology he sent for his wife in October.
Peters being trusted friend and school
mate, was permitted 10 accompany her.
Peters denies being intimate with Graham's
wife, and says that Graham abuses the
woman, and does not provide for her.
After the separation of the husband and
wife, which took place last Saturday night.
the latter procured work at restaurant at
! so Washington street She is rather
pretty woman, and in the old country her
parents are well-to-do farmers. Hearing
last night that her husband had caused the
arrest of Peters, she sent Graham a note
beseeching him to let him alone and not
ruin her. The 6rahams have little child,
which is staying with the mother. Peters
4 says the only relations he had with her i'm
this country were in furnishing her with
some money when her husband turned her.

Wants Duplicates of Lost Bonds.


CHICAGO, Jan. IA curious case has
been presented to City Attorney Washburne
for an opinion. An old barber, Louis
Roby, 20 years of age, has sent a petition
to the city authorities for the issuing to him
of bond of the city of Chicago for $500,
which he alleges was destroyed by fire.
The petition sets forth that by hard work
and saving habits he had accumulated two
bonds of the United States of 500 each, a
bond of the city of Chicago for $500, in
gold and silver about $50, and some jew
elry. He used for receptacle an oyster
can, which, for greater safety, he put in a
stove which was not used, as it was placed
in a spare room. Last April repairs were
made in this room, and at their completion
the plasterer suggested a fire be built to
hasten the drying of the room. Not think
ing that he had used the stove for safe
deposit the old man innOcently started a
fire. When it had commenced to burn Wig
orously he bethOught himself of his treas
ure, and speedily pulled out the can. The
bonds were burned and the jewelrY badly
damaged. but his silver and gold were but
little injured The old man has some of
the coupons of the city bond so that its
number can be ascertained, and he desires
that duplicate be issued to him.

AmicabIy Settled.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-All of the trains
on the several branches of the elevated rail-
road were running as usual this morning.
The engineers who were not on duty met
at the Stevens house to talk over matters.
Chief Arthur of the brotherhood said:
We are much pleased over the way we have
been treated by the press of this city Our
acts thus far have been guided by u desire to
avoid everything that could in any way be-
construed as haSty or unjust. We desire To
have the trouble settled amicably and think
IL will be. The conference TO be held this
afternoon will probably clear the difficulties.
The final consultation between the com
mittee on grievances of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers and the officials OF
the elevated railroads took place at the
company's Office this afternoon. The con-
sultation was long one. lasting from
O'Clock to nearly 6 o'clock. General Mana
ger Hahn, Vice President Galloway, Sidney
Dillon and Cyrus w. Field represented tina
company. A few minutes after O'clock
Mr.. Field announced to the reporters that
the difficulties had been amicably settled
on A NINE-HoUR BASIS.
When the meeting was finally over, Chief
Engineer p. NJ. Arthur said that the Ele-
waited Roads company had granted all the
requests contained in the letter of griev-
several days ago, with the exception of the
eight-hOuT claim. The engineers had
agreed that nine instead of eight
hours should constitute days
work. Under this agreement
full hours pay is TO be allowed whenever
an engineer is called upon TO work frac-
tion of an hour over the specified nlne
hours. The days work will begin at 4:30
o'clock instead of 5:15 as formerly, the ad-
ditional three-quarters of an hour being
allowed to engineers TO reach their machines
from the nearest elevated road station.
Wages will be $3.50 per day for old engi-
neers, So for all engineers promoted from
the position of fremen; firemen, So; fire
men promoted from other roads, Sl.75 for
the first six months and So afterward.
1--WE are much pleased with the settlement"
said Chief Arthur. ''The officials have dealt
with us squarely, and we have no fault 10
find."
THE thing has been amicably adjusted"
remarked Col. Hahn, land so the threatened
strike Is averted.''

there have never been less than two hundred

Prospects for a League Brighter.

Mr.. Lucas of Duluth, who has been in
the city interesting the sporting fratern ity
in the organization of base ball club in st.
Paul and Northwestern league, converseo
with several gentlemen yesterday, and last
evening said he met with more favorable
results than he anticipated he would. Those
he spoke to were very much in favor of
club in st. Paul, and the only opposition
to the organization of one will be in secur-
ing the grounds to play on. 1t is thought
that a place can be secured in West st.
Paul. and as the trains of the Minnesota &
Northwestern road will run over every ten
minutes, there would emo trouble in reach
ing the grounds. Mr.. Lucas will to-day
visit Minneapolis and agitate the question
there. and if he meets with success will visit
Eau Claire and other cities.

Failed TO Keep His Promise.


BURLINGTON, Ia. Jan. IA sensation
was created here to-day by the arrest and
lodgment in jail of Andrew Bell on charge
of seduction, preferred by Miss Nandain,
the daughter of a fermer dry goods mer-
chant of this city. Andy is the son of
William Bell. who was formerly mayor and
at present the head of one of the leading
wholesale grocery firms in Burlington.
The young man has enjoyed every
advantage that the wealth and high
social position of his parents could
give him. Some years ago he was sent to
Scotland to finish his education and only a
short time since, it is understood, he was
offered a lieutenancy in the British India
service. Notwithstanding all, he has been
leading fast life and visited skating rinks
while they were running. Having be-
trayed the young lady. he some time since
made promise to marry her but failed to
keep it. and hence the arrest to-day. He
was held in $4,000, but his father did not
apparently wish TO aid the young man in
his evil career, so Andy had to go to jail.

Capitalists, Attention!

The attention of capitalists is called
TO an important fact. Dallas needs
hundreds of dwelling houses. Real
estate men in this city arc asking for
more dwellings and guarantee from IL
to 10 per cent interest on the invest
ment to parties who will build houses.
Nearly every house in the city is a
boarding house, not from choice or for
the sake of making money, but out OF
courtesy and accommodation in many
instances. Under these circumstances
many boarding places are inferior, and
people who come here get Disguised
with their surroundings and leave the
town, where otherwise they would
become citizens. The HERALD asks
moncyed men to consult the real estate
men of the city and learn the true
state of affairs. There is not town
in the west that needs houses as Dallas
does right now.
