GOLD BUGS Ratified.
The Full Significance OF the Silver Vic
tory-senator Teller Talks Of it.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-1n conversation
to-day Senator Teller said OF the silver
bill:
"It is like all compromises, entirely
satisfactory to no one. | wanted free
coinage, and think we ought to have had
it but that was out Of the question after
the house took its position so strongly
against it, 80 that, under the circum-
stances, think we have done fairly well.
"We have gotten everything We wanted
except free coinage, and except so far as
the moral effect is concerned, it is as good
as free coinage. 1t will have good effect
in two directions; it will give the country
a greater volume of currency, which all
admit is needed, and, in time, give us
home market for our entire product.
cat the present price Of silver the pur
chase would be about $4,700,000 worth,
and that amount will increase as the price
increases until it may reach $6,000,000
per month.
''There is one clause in the bill which
l do not like, and which, If had been on
the conference committee, l should not
have accepted, and that is the clause pro,
viding that silver shall be purchased at
uIl0 LudlR6b prize WIou oucIcu. 1udI
gives the secretary discretion which he
should not have and which may be
abused. 1t is the Objectionable feature Of
the bill, but suppose it will be impos-
sible to change it; yet, taken as a whole,
the bill is vast improvement upon the
house bill in all respects. l feel that we
gained something every day that we
fought and waited"
One indication that the bill is a good
bill for the silver men is found in the way
it is received by the gold bug papers.
The New York World says it is little
better than free coinage bill.
The Times says it comedies everything
short Of free coinage that the silver sena.
ators choose to demand.
The Philadelphia Press devotes its edi
torial leader to the subject, saying among
other things, "the conference agreement
on the silver bill is a surrender to the
free coinage faction Of nearly everything
that is valuable in the original plaI
proposed by Sec. Window and all its
variations. Absolute free coinage il
withheld, and the silver certificates is

CINCINNATI, July 10. - A prominent
wholesale merchant of Charleston, S. c.,
who does not wish his name to be used,
is in the city, and talked freely yesterday
on southern sentiment regarding the fed
eral election bill. He says the people
of the north have no idea of the in
tense feeling that exists among all
classes in the south over the pro-
posed measure. There is no disposi-
ton to talk about it or make threats
the iu' signal ign or"H for the creation Of extreme
bitterness, a feeling that will undo all
that the years of peace have accomplished,
ank that will find manifestation in action.
FIRST of all, every northern product, as
far as possible, will be boycotted. Fol-
lowing this will come the most extensive
and effectual boycott on class labor ever
known in the world. Arrangements are
already under way to secure from abroad

sued under the bill will be based on the
gold valuation of silver bullion so long
as there is any left in the treasury avail
able for the redemption of the new GER
tificates. This latter is the one redeem
ing feature OF the bill, and we are willing
to make the most Of it since every other
provision tends directly to the undue ex-
pansion and vitiation Of the currency.
1t is conceded on all hands that the
president will sign the bill.

An Extraordinary Prirllsee.

haye met several times lately, down
in Wall street. a man who was a leading
actor in the Monitor errimac fight
nearly thirty years ago. Mr.. Daniel TOT
fey is unassuming and modest, and I do
not think that a fraction of his associates
know that he was an officer on .the.sMon-
itor when she went into action and revo-
~lutionized the naval architecture of the
world. He was a nephew Of Commodore
Worden, who commanded the Monitor,
and in that way came to be enrolled IN
her famous crew. Mr.. Toffey can on oc-
easions give q most interesting account
of the duel between the two vessels.
With the other officers of the Monitor he
received the thanks Of Congress, accom-
panied by an extraordinary privilege in
the shape of a life admission to the floor
of the House of Representatives. The
Eve surviving officers of the Monitor are
the only living persons who enjoy this
distinction.
Some time ago Mr.. Tofey happened to
be in Washington, and never having
made use of his privilege, went up to
the capitol and proceeded to walk on to
the floor of the House. He was promptly
intercepted BY the vigilant doorkeeper
and told to stand back. The mention of
his name produced no effect IN that func-
tionary or his satellites, and rather enjoy
ing their approaching discontinue, MIR.
Tofey kept up al argument with them
for some little time, until indeed it looked
as if his Importantly would end in his
being elected by force. Before this point
was reached, however, he produced a
copy of the engrossed resolution which
covered his case. It was the first time
any one on the Seargeant-at-Arms' staff
had seen such a pass, and their surprise
was correspondingly great. But free en-
trance was Immediately accorded to its
bearer, who, for the time being, was the
lion of the occasion on the loor.-NeU
York Star.

and with but slight regard for the truth
While stealing is very uncommon among
them, cheating and gambling are most
prominent characteristics. They are
most jealous of all their rights shd
privileges but are easily gratifed by any
hsHors on concessions that may be paid
to them. AS an illustration Of this latter
trait & rather peculiar incident was re-
fIatgd 10 me not long ago. 4 chief down
in British Columbia had committed
murder and was taken over to Victoria
for trial. There was no doabt OF ms
guilt, but shs case dragged on for two
years and finally through some techni'
eality in the law the old chief was &C.
Quilted and wandered back to his tribe
In the meantime. however, saving been
given up as dead; his successor Tas
elected and the old man found himself
among hisspeople without any statass as
no provision was maze in their code o.
laws for the return of a dead (O person.

run of salmon during his two seasons OF
craftsmanship, had made considerable
money by selling the right to catch, fish

revenue Tesline highly elated by his
great wealth and having some feeling, j
suppose, akin to pity for the dsad-aiive
ehief whose place he occupied and who
grieved for his lost honors, he deter
mined to 30 something handsome for the
despoiled old man. So he went to Vic
toria, bought a marble tombstone for
5000, had it suitably inscribed, and fe-
turning gave an immense ''potlatch'I and
unveiled the monument amid great re-
ioicing and approval. The old chief,
the honored guest on this occasion, was
most highly pleased and had no longer
any objections to being considered as
dead, so great respect having been paid
to his memory

A STREET DANCER.

one respect, These women are invited
to dance in the harems before women
only, and if they do not dance before
men they are not molested. Their figures
are supple and their movements are not
without grace.
The male dancers shave their faces
smooth and the head from the forehead
to the nape of the neck, the latter q
custom of all Persians but the side locks
they allow to grow down over the shout
ders to resemble women. They also
wear skirts, still further to carry out the
resemblance. Such is the absurd neon
sistency Of the Orientals that they would
be shocked at the impropriety Of any
one dancing for pleasure, much less in
company with dancers Of the other sex.
The Kara Enenz or Black Eyes offers
one Of the most amusing sources Of popu-
lar entertainment in Persia. It is an
itinerant puppet show analogous to
Punch and Judy. There is the same
little booth, the grotesque dolls moved
by human hands, and the comical CON
versation In squeaking falsetfo. The
Kara Enenz is undoubtedly very funny,
and gives immense satisfaction to the
idlers in d Persian market place. When
ever it appears b crowd collects, listening
with rapt attention and greeting the
coarse salies Of wit and satire with peals
Of laughter and earnest expressions of

Next to the Tazieh, the least obiec-
tionabls and most popular sport in
Persia is that Of athletic exhibitions. As

beings; but the facile, pleasure loving
Persians have found means to evade the
precepts of the Prophet on these points.
A Persian hand of cards is complete
with a set of four, all face cards. Persian
cards are all painted by hand on little
tablets Of papier mache, two inches long
and one inch and a quarter wide. The
design is executed in water colors, some,
times on a gold ground, and protected
BY a glossy coat of thick varnish. The
back and edges are always black. Some
of these cards are very expensive, a pack
costing as high as $40 to S45, although,
of course, such expensive sets are for the
wealthy. But whether for rich or poor,
Persian playing cards are made by hand.
When they first came into use it is diff
cult to ascertain with precision. The
chief game played with these cards re-
sembles brag or poker. It is always
played for stakes, and the sums lost or
in the houses of the nobility are
sometimes large.
As for the Persian dancers, there il
little to be said about them that can lead
TO an introduction of that form of thes
enter tainment into the United States.
They are professionals brought up to the
business from the cradle. The female
dancers are practically forbidden to exer-

SIR PROVO WILLIAM PARRY WALLIS
which ship, in 1904, under the command
of Captain Robert Laurie, he first went
to sea. This ship, a few months later,
in the Atlantic Ocean, fought the French
frigate Vile de Milan, was defeated and
captured, but was recovered o week
afterward, by the British ffigate Leandef.
The young midshipman Wallis became
a lieutenant, and served in several other
ships during the French war. In 1918,
when Britain was at war with the United
States, he was second lieutenant of the
frigate Shannon, under Captain Broke,
which fought the American frigate Chesa-
peake off Boston Harbor. After that
famous battle, which was a British
victory, when Captain Broke had been
wounded and his first lieutenant killed,
the command of the ship, with its prize,
aevolved on Lieutenant Wallis. He was
promoted, and was afterward employed
in different naval services, on the coast
Of Mexico, in the Mediterranean, and, in
1857, as admiral and commander-in~
chief on the southeast coast of America.

of the West. japanese BARRIERS shave
nearly All the exposed surfaces Of a mans
head. They shave the ears, the outside
and inside Of the nose, the eyesbrows
and 8 portion of.the scalp. The victim
sits on q very low stool, while the barber
perches on a higher stool and takes his

he seizes a very small razor, dips it inte

continues over two hours; the move
ments are made to the accompaniment of
music, and toward the close the strong
est athletes stand on one leg and balance
the clubs at arms length for several sec
onds. This species of exercise is of great
antiquity in Persia. The athlete who is
able to outlast all the others III the club
game is accounted the victor, and re-
ceives substantial rewards from the spec
tators.
After this sport is over the wrestlers
begin. When they are ready to grapple,
each places his right hand on the head
of the other as q salute. They then
grasp each other with delibegation, plac-
ing one arm over and the other under
the shoulder of the opponent. Then the
struggle begins in earnest. With us the
chief object in wrestling is throw ones
antagonist, and on the back, if possible.
II is quite opposite in Persia. There the
wrestler does his best to drop on his
hands and knees, and his opponent tries
to prevent him. The victor must meet
all new corners until he meets one both
stronger and fresher than himself. Gases
have occurred of Persian athletes who
have successfully overcome every an
tagonist who has presented himself at one
exhibition of strength, men having been
known to conquer from twenty to twenty
four contestants in one afternoon. Pres
ents are shoWered upon each victor, the
one remaining last in the field sometimes
receiving hundreds and thousands of
dollars from the wealthy and enthusiastic
spectators.
This sport IS highly esteemed in
Persia, and men of rank and physical
strength sometimes condescend to enter
the arena and try d bout with the pro-
fessional athletes. The latter are shrewd
enough on such occasions to cede the
victory totheir wealthy antagonists, who,
flushed by their success, present costly
gifts to their professional antagonist.
