WILLING TO HELP.
Secretary Window Anxious About the
Situation.

New YORK, Dec. l3.-The Tribune
says: 1t is understood at the conference
with bankers yesterday Secretary Win
dom intimated the free coinage OF
silver bill will likely be passed at the
present session OF congress unless fore
stalled by some action.
The suggestion of Treasurer Huston
that fractional silver coin should be
transferred to the bullion account and
the secretary be authorized to issue sill
yer certificates for it was discussed. The
treasurer also wished 20 include the
trade dollar bullion, which, with frac-
tional silver, would make a fresh issue
Of about s25 600 600 currency.
Another proposal was the treasury
should buy, each month, in addition TO
the legal requirements of $500. 900
ounces OF silver, enough more to count
teruct the retire ment of national bank
notes. The withdrawal OF national
bank currency amounts to about $l6,
0O0. 900 year, and II was proposed the
secretary buy enough silver to M AXE
good this contraction. The PROPOSE
tion that was received with the most
favor was that the treasury should be
authorized to buy at once all the silver
in sight of American production.
Secretary Window and the persons
who consulted with him were agreed on
one point, that no definite action had
been taken as a result of the conference.

Seligman remarked '.is that the ad-
ministration is willing and ready to re-

THE FRENCH BUDGET.



PARIS, Dec. 13.-It is believed the
government is endeavoring to arrange
an international monetary conference.
England and some of the other powers
may object on the ground Of the futility
OF the previous conferences. In such a
conference powerful influences can be
brought to bear upon the government to
invite delegates from the Latin Union,
United States and other silver countries
to discuss the silver question with view
to the international regulation of silver
value.
The tariff bill, as now shaped, under
the hands of the com mittee of the cham
Der, outdoes the Mckinley bill in pro-
tectionism. The Gironde Commerce
League, the leading free trade body, has
issued a strong manifesto denouncing 1t,
as tending to surround France with a
Chinese wall, the inevitable result OF
which would be the ruin of the country's s
agricultural. commercial and shipping
interests, for the temporary profit of
great manufacturers. 1t Is believed,
however, If the government can assure
the safety of the Bordeaux wine trade
the reciprocity opposition of the league
will disappear.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. l3--The new
cruiser Newark started out again yes

last Wednesday there was break in
her machinery which necessitated re-
pairs. When she headed to sea Friday

which had been repaired, broke again.
and for second time the trial was

OF all on board, and the cruiser was
doing magnificently. One OF the officers
on board said that during three hours
she had shown an average speed of 10. 7
knots, or about twenty three miles an
hour, and the indications were that her
horsepower would be about o, 500. The
officer also said that she was one of the
steadiest ships in heavy sea he had

were not filled with anarchial threats.
They merely wanted the rights which
the law guaranteed.
Cars have been promised by the rail-
road companies, but the promises have
been repeated so often without additional
supply of cars, that the farmers are in

noRs ASSOCIATION.
Not Receiving Proper support to
Encourage It.

NEW York, Dec. lo.-The annua
meeting of the National Association of
Trotting Horse Breeders was held this
afternoon. Some changes were made in
the rules. In general discussion it
was agreed that the association does
not receive support necessary to keep it
alive, and J. Q. Sibley, speaking on the
subject, said unless vigorous measures
were taken the association might as
well disband.
The outcome of the discussion was the
appointment of committee to prepare
an address to the trotters' association,
asking their cooperation. The subject
of stakes provoked a discussion, and the
standard stakes were referred back TO the
executive committee.

SHERMAN'S CANTEEN.
Where the Soldier Boys Are
Entertained.
IT HAS PROVED A BIG SUCCESS
Billiards at Five Cents Game,
and Light Liquors at Mod
crate Prices.

FoRr SHERMAN, Idaho, Dec. 3-The
canteen at this post has been an un-
qualified success, financially. Since its
establishment in FEBRUARY, 1880, tho re-
ceipts have been over $40 0Oo, about
81 600 of which was profit. Nearly 5000
have been distributed to company, band
and hospital funds. The business Of the
oantecn has increased TO such propor-
tions that IL became necessary to secure
larger and more roomy quarters. A
portion of tho late post traders build
ings being available, authority was
secured to rent It for csnteen purposes,
the rent to be paid from tho profits of
the canteen. Tho restaurant and lunch
room is furnished with view
to provide either q simple lunch or
dinner Of twelve courses. A billiard
room has been fitted up at an expense Of
about 81, 200, One pool and three billiard
tables OF the latest make and finish have
been purchased, and everything neces-
sary to complete "a hrst-class billiards
room has been supplied. 1t is safe to
say that no body OF men In tho United
States have tho use OF such fine tables
at so moderate d cost. the charge Is only
o cents per game, and yet the revenue
from this source Is more than sufficient
to pay the rent of the building The
bar, whore beer Is sold, Is in room
separate from the other rooms of the
| canteen.
II is from this source that the greatest
profits are realized. in fact, without the
bar the canteen could not exist q day.
The one Objectionable feature to the
whole canteen system is the detail OF
sold iers to sell beer to their comrades.
The govern ment should place the train @
In liquor entirely in the hands of OWL
ians. paying them a salary, the profits,
| as now, to go to the companies. No
| soldier should be required to sell beer
while in uniform; ~ they must have sol
diers, why not make them wear white
Jackets, etc as other bartenders do or
better still, grant them furlouRhs while
on duty in the canteen so that they may
wear civilian clothing, 30 far as their
duties are concerned they might as well
be on furlough.
As an institution the canteen Is bound
to DO n success, in a financial sense; the
expenses are small the profits are large,
and the percentage of loss 10 reduced to
a minimum from the fact that whore
credit IL given Ii Is to the interest OF the
men to pay up in order to enjoy the
| privileges of the canteen.
The amounts distributed to companies
can only be expended for food, conse-
quently the table fare in the different
organizations is TAR better now than 1t
has ever been, and companies vie with
each other to produce the best bill OF
fare. The following remark overheard
during the annual inspection of the post
will best illustrate the improved con-
dition OF tho soldier since the advent OF
the can teen. Said Major Blank:
Now look here Flank, when we were
cam palgning In the department of the

Parnciiitss Capture Wagon Load
OF Papers

DUBLIN, Dec. l2.-It coming to tho
knowledge Of Leamy, appointed editor
OF United Ireland by Parnell and other
Parneilites, that an anti Pnrnell edition
Of that paper was to be issued to-day
from tho Office of the Nationalist, I. ID.
sullivan's paper, steps were taken to
secure an injunction against tho Ma
tionalists publisher.
The court granted tho writ.
Nevert heless the forbidden edition
made its appearance this morning. 1t
contains an article written by Bodkin,
acting editor of the paper during the alb
sence OF Editor William o. Brien, and
who was dcposed by Parnell when he
seized tho paper Wednesday.
The article Is addressed, in o. Brien's 9
name, to every true lover of Ireland the
world over. IL declares that the sole
alternative now is Parnell or home rule,
and that home rule is impossible under
ParnelPs leadership.
A Parnell edition of United Ireland
was also issued from the regular office,
1t quotes legal opinion justitying the
seizure OF the paper by Parnell.
A wagon loaded with copies of the
anti Parnell edition of United Ireland
was driven to Kings Bridge railway
station today, 1t being the intention 10
send them for distribution In the sou tn
of Ireland. As tho wagon drew up at
the station, two men, one of whom had
u mask on his face and the other armed
with n revolver, sprang upon the vehicle,
and compelled the driver TO proceed
with his load to the Island bridge.
Arriving there, the two men flung oil
the papers into the Liiiey river.
An attempt was made to seize sec
ond wagon, loaded with papers, stand
ing ut the entrance of the depot, and II
would probably have proved successful
had not the police intertered to protect
