Don Hilter's Plan.

CHICAGO, June 21.-Don Lilis Hitter, the
Vanderbilt of Mexico, said yesterday, in
speaking of the threated revolution in
Lower California: "If the United States
wants Lower California the best way to
get II is not by purchase, for we would not
sell il, but by giving us n strip Of land
bounded on the north by straight line
passing from El Paso. Texas, TO Yuma.
This land is not worth much. but il would
serve as a definite settlement of the boun-
Diary line and so be good bargain TO both
sides. OF course, j am not sure Mexico

Special to the Standard.
WASHINGTON, June 2i.-The democrats
after making q good fight during two
days against Speaker Reed got them
selves into bad tangle to-day and, mt a
critical moment, lost the advantage they
had gained. When the house met this
morning the silver bill was within reach
of its friends. The speaker, smarting
under the censures he had received, felt
constrained to make a statement in his
own defense and he closed il by referring
the free coinage bill to the coinage COM
mittee. That brought Bland a chance to
appeal from the speakers decision.
To any man with political sense IL was
still a political question. The coinage
question was involved, but the bill was
not before the house. The vote came On
Mckinley's motion to lay this appeal on
the table.
There were 261 members present, Of
these 144 voted TO lay the appeal on table.
Against that motion there were III votes,
several democrats voting with the Reed
men. Six OF these were from New York,
three from Pennsylvania, two from New
Je rsey and one each from Massachusetts
and South Carolina. The republicans
who voted with the democrats are Bar
tine, Carter, Connell, DE Haven, Funston,
Hermann, Kelley, Morrow, Townsend of
Colorado and Wade OF Missouri. Reed
cannot be too grateful to the democrats
who let him out SO unexpectedly. He
would never been SO magnanimous in
similar circumstances.
The coinage committee will have a
meeting Monday. II will undoubtedly be
adverse to free coinage but il is thought

Referring TO the published stories con-

mittee on appropriations the other day,
gentleman, who was present. said tonight
the whole affair was greatly misappre-
hended. The discussion which took
place was not in relation to the general
schedules of the Mckinley bill, but the
feature which Blaine condemned was
that of giving free market i'm the United
States to the products Of the southern
continent and not asking in return free
markets for the products OF our own
farmers where We can get them merely
for the asking.
Blaine says corn would not be selling in

kets of Latin-America were open To our
products.

WASHINGTON, June 2l.-In the house
to-day, Speaker Reed made a statement,
i'm which he said, regarding the silver bill,
that the rules required such bills TO be re-
ferred. and a statement to that effect
should be put in the journal and record.
The statement was made and the house
saw fit not TO permit il To become part of
the journal. That left somewhat dill
cult question as to the status of the bill.
Individually, the chair believed the re-
fusal to record the fact did not obliterate
the fact itself. The speaker then decided
to leave the bill with the coinage commit

HIS REMARKABLE CAREER.
An Arab Founding Now y Colonel In the
French Army.

SAN Francisco, June 2l.-The public
has been reading lately great many dis
patches from France and Africa, giving
the progress OF the war which the French
government has been waging IN Daho-
mcy. Lieutenant-Co Colonel Archinard was
the officer mentioned as being in COM
mand Of the French troops, who, although
merely "a handful of some four or five
hundred cavalry, have inflicted great
slaughter on their opponents, killing as
many as a thousand In one engagement.
There recently arrived in this city a
young French officer who is an intimate
friend Of Colonel Archinar,l, and who re-
lates the following strange history Of the
dashing young colonel's life:
"About twenty-six years ago, at the time
France was engaged i'm n series of petty
wars against the nomad tribes In Algeria,
and after one of these engagements,a GER
tain Castor Archinard, then captain in
n cavalry regiment, was attending To the
removal Of the wounded, when one Of his
men discovered u little Arab child, who
had evidently been abandoned by its par
ents in their flight. Being bachelor, and
liking the bright, intelligent look in the
little fellows face, the captain determined
to adopt him and give him his name. He
therefore sent him to lycec or French
school In Bordeaux, where the lad was
educated, and later, in 1870, the captain
having risen Tn the rank OF brigadier-
general, he caused him TO he enlisted
as a private i'm the Seventh Hussars,
under his own name of Archinard. Gain
ing rapid promotion he was soon sent To
the cavalry school at Saumar, from
whence he graduated i'm 1870, only 10 years
ago, as "a sub-lieutenant of cavalry. He
was then sent To Tunis aud fought
through the campaign of iss2, and the fol-
lowing year saw him commanding bat
talon in Tonquin. In lss7 he was sent to
Senegal as "a major in the famous regi-
ment of Saphis Senegalais, which he COM
manded as lieutenant-colonel in his late
successful campaign in Dahomey. Al
though pure blooded Arab, with thor
ough French military cducation, Colonel
krchinartl, il is whispered in prominent
Partisan military circles, is next on the
list for promotion 10 the coveted rank of
general of "A division of the French army.

Locked AntIers Made to Order.

Locked Antlers Made to Order.
Locked horns are becoming quite
a fad with some of the swells at the
metropolis, y said an old frequenter
of the Adirondacks the other day,
land some of the Adirondack hunters
and guides are making nice little
sums by occasional sales of the curl
osity that is demanded. You see, the
old story about the bucks that fall to
fighting and In some manner get
their horns locked so they can't get
apart and then starve to death has
taken a strong hold upon the roman
tic natures of many persons, and if
they can only get set of
locked horns mounted they
are happy. So the hunters
select nice horns that correspond as
to size, and by the use of a twisted
cord and case, spring them together
as if locked in their death embrace
by the maddened thrusts of fighting
bucks. Then, on account of their
great variety and the difficulty of
finding them, they are sold to the Gu
riosity hunter for a big price. His
friends look in wonder and envy at
them, while he recounts the story
told him by the guide, who found
their skeletons held together by the
horns and all trodden down around
the place so solidly that vegetation
has not grown there in years, ETC.,
and the guide goes back to the woods
and fixes up another pair for the next
curiosity seeker"

The Toad and the Duke OF yelling
ton.
From the Spectator.
Short Cuts has unearthed pecu-
liarly delightful letter of the Duke of
Wellington, which runs as follows:
"Strathfieldsaye July q, 1S39.-Field
Marshal the Duke of Wellington Is
happy to inform William Harries that
his toad is alive and we'll" During
one of his coun try walks the Duke
found little boy lying on the ground
bending his head over a tame toad,
and crying as if his heart would
break. On being asked what was the
matter the child explained that he
was crying "for his poor toad" He
brought 1t something to eat every
morning but he was now to be sent
away to school long distance off, and
was afraid nobody else would give
it anything to eat, and that it would
die. The Duke, however, consoled
him by saying that he would himself
see the toad we'll fed, and by further
promising to let the boy hear as to
its welfare. During the time the boy
was away at school he received no
less than five autograph letters SINH
lar to that given above, and when he
returned for the Christmas holidays,
the toad was still alive to gladden. his
heart. The story is even more de-
Iightful than that of the Dukes in
dignation when he found that party
ofchildren at Strathfieldsaye-among
whom, we believe, was the present
prime minister-were having their
tea without jam The incident reused
him to immediate action, and he at
once rang the bell and issued gen.
eral order that 'children's tea" was
never to be served in his house with
such manned rights"

His Life Saved by the Turn of a
Card


Atlanta Constitution.
Before the war q man was on trial
in Lauderdale county for murder.
The circumstantial evidence against
the man was very strong, and when
the jury retired and took ballot the
result was six for conviction and six
for acquittal. 1t remained this way
for two days and nights, neither side
showing any deposition to change
their minds.
At last one of the jury, named Sill
vertooth, proposed game of seven
up between the opposing sides. one
man to be selected from each side,
and whoever won the losing side
were to stand by the result. This
was agreed to, and Silvertooth, who
was in favor Of acquitting the prison
or, and another juror, who was strong
ly In favor of conviction, commenced
the game, and each juror had scored
8points when Silvertooth's time came
to deal. He shuffled the CO rds carefully
and dealt forth the sufficient number
to each, and then turned a jack,
which made him win the game and
saved the prisoners lite. The six
who were for conviction voted with
the other six for acquittal, and the
prisoner was discharged from custody.

Wore a Shirt of Greenbacks

From the Chicago Herald.
Edward Treusch, an eccentric old
Hebrew street vender of pocketbooks
jackknives, chewing gum and divers
small trinkets, dropped dead of heart
disease yesterday morning. This
sudden event brought to light the
fact that, although Treuseh always
had the appearance of poverty and of
finding it hard struggle to make
both ends meet, he was in reality
quite we'll to do. He had big rolls of
money. When the body was taken
by the police to Klaner's morgue, on
Monroe street, and the clothing
searched, it was discovered that he
had $4,000 in United States bills sewed
in the folds of wonderful shirt
which he wore. This shirt was of
flannel and was made double about
the chest and sides. Inside the two
folds the old peddler had long carried
his carefully concealed wealth. The
bills were of various denominations
ranging from 81 to 500.
