thusiastic meetings of old soldiers ever

used during the year 1888 in the United
States mint were destroyed under the
direction of Superintendent Fox, in the

dies in use during the year 1883
had been destroyed. in accord
ance with the regulations of the de-
partment at Washington. and that the
work had been witnessed by the officials
whose presence was required. 1t was not
always that the dies were thus DESTROYED

such regulation was insisted upon by the
authorities. After the destruction they
became worthless except as old iron, and

BouLANeER SCORES THE oPPo-
ClIl0N

PARIS. Jan. 3.-General Boulanger in an
address to the electors of the department.
OF the Seine says: "Those members OF
parliament who did their utmost to make
me. ineligible were beside themselves at
the idea of seeing me elected. My sword
caused them anxiety and they deprived
me Of it. But now they are more anxious
than they were when / wore the sword.
Really it is not me they fear but universal
suffrage, whose repeated judgments testify
to the distrust which which their incapac-
ity, base intrigues and fanciful discussions
inspired. In order to avoid being COM
PEELED to accuse themselves, they
charge me with the most improbable
dictatorial projects. When a minister, |
was overthrown under the pretext that
opposed to the personification of dicta-
torship. If / could ever have entertained
the idea of playing dictator, it would have
been as when, as minister Of war, had the
whole army iihmy own hands. There has
been nothing in my conduct to justify such
a suspicion. l accepted the sympathies of
all without dreaming Of stealing popular
ity from any. There is nothing pictorial
in program that demands consti-
tutional REVISION by the most demo
cratic system by a constituent assembly
The Republican leaders had confidence in
my Republicanism when they opened to
the Republicans to cite single act or pro-
fession in which l have not plainly sup
ported the republic, but desire, as France
desires, something besides combination
of greed. France thirsts for justice, for
equity, for diSintereStedneSS."

Of affairs on the continent with a good sense

THE RATCHET WILL BE BURIED.
Both Parties to the 10y Trouble Admit it
to be Practically Settled.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.--This evening for tho
first time the o. strike was admitted by
both parties to the controversy to be prac-
ticallY settled. The conference today be-
tween the officers of the road and the COM
mittee of nine resulted in an amicable
agreement ON nearly all of the points at
issue, and it is confidently expected that a
complete understanding will be reached
tomorrow morning.
The ONLY hitch was one of the minor de-
mands of the committee, which the Off
Gals did not feel justified in granting
without first consulting with President
Perkins and the directors of the company
IN Boston. They requested therefore to
exchange kilograms with Boston. When
the committee called at the general offices
of the Burlington this morning Vice Pres
idents Stone and Beasly were waiting ad
vices from Boston and asked that the con-
ference be delayed until 3o'clock in the
afternoon. Chairman Cavener consented
to this and at the hour named he and his
associates returned and were received by
the officers OF the road in the directors
room.
The committee of the engineers is COM
posed of A. r. Cavener, of the Southern
Pacific W. c. Hayes, OF the Minneapolis
& St. Louis; A. w. Pertye. of the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company; Thos.
Hollinrake, of the Grand Trunk Railway
of Canada: Thos. S. Humphreys, of the
Hooking Valley; A. w. Logan, of the
Erie; T. w. Bellows, of the Memphis, New
Orleans & Texas; Edward Kent, of
the Erie; A Lemaye, of the Chicago &
Northwestern In addition to these the
fremen were represented by j. E. Dixon,
of Barboo Wis, and A. Mooney of ST.
Joseph, Mo. The Burlington company
was represented by FRS Vice-President
Beasley, Second Nice-President Stone,
General Manager Ripley, General
Manager Holdridge, of the Burling-
ton q Missouri River and several
subordinate officers. They were in
utes past 5, which they encountered an OBJ
stacle in the raising OF point which the
Burlington people had overlooked and
were not prepared to meet without further
advices from the eastern headquarters. 1t
was then decided to adj ourn till 1880 Il. m.
tomorrow. The faces of the committee of
the Burlington officials were wreathed
with smiles when they parted for the
night.
The Times will say: "It is understood
that by the terms of the agreement the
old 90 engineers will be placed again
upon square footing instead of being
blacklisted by nearly all the roads in the
country. The Burlington itself will set
the example by giving the strikers en-
ployment in preference to others when va
cancies occur, and by burying completely
out of sight the Ratchet which was dug up
ten months ago"
Vice President Stone and Chairman
Cavener declined to give any of the de-
tails of the meeting or the nature of the
conclusions

A VACANT OFFICE.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-There was much
surprise in financial circles yesterday when
it was learned that the office of United
States national bank examiner for this
district had become vacant through the
resignation of Mr. Valentine p
Snyder. The surprise will be still
further intensified when it is known
that it is the determination of the United
States comptroller of the currency not to
appoint a successor TO Mr.. Snyder but to
leave the important interests of the po-
sition unprotected until they can be at
tended TO by the incoming administration.

company, which was burned out on New

just thirty-one years after it was founded
by the senior member, James Richardson.
The firm debated all day yesterday as to
ed eventually TO go out of business entirely,
transfer its accounts to rival drug house
aud wind up its affairs. This decision was
reached after the most careful elaboration
and only because the delay of six months
which would necessarily occur before the
house could get upon its feet again would
be disastrous. The decision was received
with the utmost regret in business circles
