WAsuINoToN, July After the first
Intellectual conference on the silver bill
last Thursday the republican MEM
bers of the commit tee decided an agree
ment would he more speedily and
satisfactorily reached by n party
consultatio than u conference open
tn both political parties Accordingly
Senators Sherman and Jones AMI
Representatives, Conger and Walker
entered upon the task of drafting IA
compromise measure. They pro
gressei so rapidly in this that the con
ference substitute was completed in ali
essential points save one and sent To
the printer yesterday. The one point
left open related to the amount OF
silver bullion to he purchased. Sher-
man, Walker and Conger thought four
million ounces monthly u fair COM
promise. but Jones declared for four
and IA hall million ounces. Such was
tine state OF affairs when overture
was again made to Jones to accept
four and u quarter million ounces.
Western senators were in receipt Of
kilograms urging them to hold for the
full amount, four and half million
ounces, and insist upon speedy dispo-
sal OF the bill. So overtures were
rejected, and when the proposition
was made to take up thu tariff bill
this afternoon the silver men mani.
tested their power to check the flow Ol
party legislation unless their demands
were met. Soon afterwards republi'
can members OF the conference were
again called together. The words

to the four million ounces contained
in the printed conference substitute
and the amendment was completed
The substitute provides that the sec
retary of the treasury shall purchase
from time to time silver bullion to the
aggregate amount OF 4,5OO,OOO, OF
SO much thereof as may be offered in

WOOL GROWERS AWAKE.


Sr. IsoUIs, July 5.-1'he officers OF
the Wool Growers National associa-
ton have issued another address to
wool growers, setting forth the danger
OF the proposed senate amendments
to the Mckinley bill. So far rs wool
is concerned Senator Hale's amend
ment, il adopted, the address says,
will admit wool free OF duty from all
nations of this hemisphere. Cleye-
lands free DOL recommendation was
no morn destructive. South Ameri-
can woods would supplant domestic
woods and the industry would perish,
the republican platform would he vic.
lated, the principles Of protection
SURRENDERED and the production Of
wool necessary for clothing in the
United States transferred to foreign
nations. The address further prOte 8
vigorously against the proposed senate
amendments to strike out the clause
prohibiting the sorting Of woods, and
to strike out the words "inclnding
charges" thus raising the dividing line,
ETC., and continues: We have yielded
all that can be safely yielded in justice
to our industry to secure general pro-
tective legislation. Any OF the amend
ments referred to are dangerous. The
Hale amendment would work absolute
ruin. Either of the other amendments s
will perpetuate fraudulent practices in
the importations OF carpet woods, etc.
We call for your immediate action.
As individuals and associations give
notice to those representing you in
halls of legislation that you expect
the republican party to redeem its
pledges and fulfill it's promises by
speedily passing the Mckinley bill.

Without any delay the pigs stomach
was severed where it forms the du0den-
UNI, and the organ was taken out, pal
pitating with life, and sutured to the
duOdenum Of the patient. The attach
ment at the esophagus was then cut,
and this end of the stomach was sutured
to the patients es0phagus. This por-

from the pig and transplanted in less

ten days, and then she was fed per

worked all right. the only difference be-

How to Take Coal Oil Out of a Carpet
-Saturate the carpet with benZine and
then rub dry with clean white cloth.
If the first application does not take it

REALLY, NOW.

Chicago's Plumbers Threaten to
Go on strike.
CHICAGO, March 30.-To-morr0w will
perhaps see the beginning of the first
spring strike in Chicago. The
1,500 plumbers employed in the
city threaten to stop work unless
the master plumbers association ac-
cedes to the demand made by the men
sometime ago that an advance of Is
cents per hour, with half holiday, be
granted them. The master plumbers
seem firm in a determination not to
pay any such uniform rate, re-
gardless of the skill. Both sides
say they are prepared to stand long
siege. The bosses assert there are a
great many men idle in the city. The
jOurneymen contend to the contrary,
and say that most of the master plumb
erS have large contracts for work which
must be done by MAY 1.

DENVER, sCol., March 25.-Our ex-
perience after leaving San Francisco
was somewhat varied. To be Translator
in few hours from lovely summed
valley, where the oranges were ripe on
the trees and the flowers bloom ing at
our feet. to an arctic climate, where the
snow lay ten feet deep, was something
which we expected, and consequently
we bore it with philoSOphic meeknesS.
But we didn't expect our engine to run
head-first into wrecked freight train,
and to be delayed on that God-forsaken
mountain for six hours. just as the ac
cident occurred was standing leaning
over the seat in front of me, engaged in
conversation with'a very genial young
widow from Chicago. She had remarked
what pleasant trip we were having,
and had assured her that it was simply
eXquisite-that really never had ell
joyed anything so much in my life. The
next moment my head was down on the
floor at her feet, and my legs struggling
over the back of that seat like

a broken apology and beat a
hasty retreat. When got out of that

walked down the track toward the

eat and ate it. then something to drink

of ''high five" with reporter who was
going to Salt Lake City. But time still
hung heavily on my hands. So l threw
the cards aside, bought some chewing
gum from the news agent, returned to
the sleeper and was walking back and
forward in the aisle mentally cursing
the engineer and bewailing the cruelty
of fate when another jerk of the train
landed me on my back in the aisle. with
the colored porter on top of me. When

long dining table, which runs from one
end of it to the other. Around this table
are nine higll-backed chairs, and there
are writing materials placed at different
stations upon it. There Is big globe
in one corner of the room. and it is
around this that the President, Secretary
Blaine, and the other ministers stand
while they discuss international ques-
tionS. The cabit meet here about every
other day, and they usually spend sew
eral hours at a session. The room is of
such nature that it cannot be used for
anything else than the meetings OF the
cabinet, and it it is business office pure
and simple. In it have been held all the
cabinet meetings for several administra-
tons. though President Lincoln used to
hold his cabinet meetings in she room
now used by Col. Halford.
The Presidents Office is in the library.
This room is big oval requiring al
yards of velvet Brussels to cover its
floor. 1t has windows looking out upon
the Potomac, and it is fifty-nine feet
wide and twenty-eight feet long. The
Presidents callers are seated on chairs
about the room and he usually stands
with head bent over and talks with
them. He receives nearly every one
who has business with him, and he is
besieged by host of congressman
nearly every day. 1t is this room which
forms his home, and his business is
always with him. His bed room is next
to it, and the ghost of work undonc
must hover over him as he sleeps. The
President of the United States never
gets through with his work. and there
ought to be some arrangement by which
he could get away for a certain time
during the day from the care of his Of
flee. He ought not to have to eat and
sleep bathed in the perSpiration OF office
other business man in the United
States who would endure such sur
roundingS as the environments OF our
President.
the truth about the matter is that
the executive mansion would do very
well for the private residence of the
president or for his offices. 1t will not
do for both, and the statesmen appreci
ate it. In 1882 Senator Morrill, had a
bill which passed the senate appropri-
ating 100000 to build an extension to
the White house, and Mrs. Harrison has
said that there ought to be two wings
added to it. She would remodel the
conservatory, add hall of painting and
statuary, and would leave the present
building, as 1t is sandwiched between
the ends of these two wings. In this
way the historical associations of the
building would be preserved, and Mrs.
Harrison's ideas are much better than
that of Senator ingalls,, who was in ia
vor of adding story to the building.
The White house has cost already about
$1,000, 900. 1t took 100000 to build it
nearly 100 years ago, and more than
$l,700,000 have since been spent upon it.
1t is full of beauties in the way of fur
niture and pictures, and though 1t costs
us more than Sl25.000 q year to pay
the presidents salary and keep up his
establishment, we are rich and can
afford it. FRANK &. CARPENTER.
