AMERICAN PROPOSALS
TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE NONE
TfRY COyFEREycE TO-D1Y.
Private Meetings of Various Sections Being
Held-sudden Rise in silver
In London.

BRUSSELS. Nov. 2i..--A statement has
obtained currency here that the American
delegates to the International Monetary
Conference are not prepared TO submit
proposals to the conference when Il meets
tomorrow.
1t Is announced that proposals have been
definitely formulated by the American
delegates and that they will be laid be-
fore the conference tomorrow. There
was some delay I'm arranging the pro-
posals. but this was due TO the fact that
the American delegates came from diff
ferent States and had no opportunity OF
comforting upon the final adjustment OF
minor details until they reached Europe.
The proposals are in such form as to
serve as the basis for practical discus
sion.
Private meetings OF the various sections
Of the conference are proceeding to-day
for the purpose of considering the informa-
ton and views that have been inter
changed during the last two days.
LONDON, Nov. 24-The sudden rise I'm
the price of silver yesterday was due to
the operations of a group OF spectators.
Forty lacs of rupees I'm drafts on India
were offered for sale by the India council.
The extraordinary amount of SlS lacs were
rendered. One tender Of $50 lacs at the
highest price absorbed the drafts. Indian
banks and merchants had TO go TO the
silver market to buy enough silver TO
meet their requirements. The price OF
the metal was thus driven up 6-l6 pence.
Various motives are attributed to the
operators. one of the reasons given Is
that their action was due to a trick OF
American silver men. who desired TO boom
silver with view TO influencing the ac-
tion Of the Brussels conference. Dealers
doubt that the rise will be maintained,
as too much silver is being offered.
The Russian Government has teie-
graphed to the Berlin bankers with whom
ii has accounts requesting them TO remit
a large portion Of it's deposits 10 st. Pc
tersburg within six weeks. This will
cause further drain OF gold from Lon
don.

education at Andover where he flled the
position of quarter back, and entered
Yale in 81. He ciptained his freshman
team and attracted so much attention by
his good work at half that in 'S2 ne De-
came a strong candidate for the varsity.
IL Is needless TO say that he mace IL, Tor
all college men well remember his play
last year in the Harvard game at Spring
field. and the one with Princeton In New
York on Thanksgiving day. He was play
ing in to him an unusual place-at tull
back-but his line bucking was one or the
features Of both games. He IS a sturdy
built chap, probably weighing l6D, and
not over 3 feet inches in height, and
when he hit the opening rush line he gen
orally made an impression. 1t was said
that he could not kick a goal, and Yale
he's industriously spread the report that
she had q full back who could not drop
goal from the field. even If he was right
under II; but II Is worthy OF note that the
one-tifne Yale was In n position 10 try
for the five points. the ball went back TO
Mccormick for a try at goal. and he
made 1t. Last winter he was elected 10
succeed McCiung, who had been grad
uated, and this autumn when play begun
we found him at quarter instead OF full
back. I he games he has played so far
has shown the wisdom Of this move. Be-
his men and keep them up 10 their work
as he could not do from his old position.
Phil King is natural born athlete. and
Is making one Of the best captains Prince
ton has ever had. Particularly this year
ne is the right man I'm the right place. for
the Princeton football candidates have
needed for the past two years a captain
with a sharp stick constantly in motion
King made his first appearance In the
Princeton football team in 1889 when he
played at quarter back on his class team.
In 1890 he succeeded in making the Var
sity, and all who saw that slaughter of
the innocents at Eastern Park will re-
member the great work he did at half
back. He proved that day that his
bones were made of n stronger substance
than those of the average football player
and that he had plenty of sand. His line
bucking was a great exhibition, and
sorry one. since his own line could make
no hole for him, and il was something of
the nature of butting ones head against
a stone wall.
Last year Princeton lost a great half
back by putting him at quarter nel err
theless his work in that position was very
fine. especially his continued stirring up
Of the men, his interference and his tack
ling. This year he has gone back to the
old position at half, and in the games he
has played showed all the old time bril-
liancy Of ground-gaining. He is fast and
a hard man to tackle, as we'll as being a
hard tackler.
The weights. heights and ages Of the play
ers Of the teams are as follows:

KILLED Wife AND DAUGHTER
A Tennessee Farmer Lynched
for His Cruel Double Murder.
The Couple Quarreled Over Their
Little Farm.

John H. Wynne, prosperous farmer, was
lynched at Browns, in Dickson County,
Tenn, a few days since, for the murder oil
his wife and his iifteen-year-old stepiangh-
ter. The crime was one OF the most shock
ing ever committed in that State.
The double murder by Wynns was COM
mitted the night before. The weapon used
was an axe, and the tragedy was believed to
have been caused by dispute between man
and wife over the management OF their
farm.
Wynne hal been married twice. He
welded for the second time about three
wears ago the widow of John Anderson, who
left nice farm and considerable other
property. 1t is stated that Mrs. Wynne in
sisted on managing her property herself, and
declined to turn it over to Wynne.
As there was no one present at the time
of the murder except Wynns and his little
boy, who was in the next room, the true
story of the murder will never be known.
1t is thought, however, that Mr.. and Mrs.
Wynne quarreled over the farm. At the
time of the murder Mrs. Wynne and her
daughter were in bel.
Wynne first assaulted his wife with the
axe, striking her as she lay asleep. The
first blow cut through her jawbone to the
neck.
As the startled woman rose in bed the
murderer raised the axe and Grove the sharp
blade into her head. 1t sank to the collar
bone, bsecting one ear and literally splitting
her head wide open.
Wynne then turned upon his stepdaugKcar
with the same deadly weapon, and it is
thought that she threw her hand to her
head for protection, as three of her fingers
were severed. She also received two blows,
not. however, as forcible as those given
Mrs. Wynne. Both blows, however, split
the girls skull. She lived until next morn
ing.
After Wynne had cut down his wife and
daughter he put out the lights in the house,
locked it up and went to his sons home. near
Colesburg, two miles away, where he told of
his crime and then attempted suicide, max
ing an ugly cash in his neck with a knife.
His son took the knife away from him and
then, with neighbors went to investigate the
story.
They found the victims as Wynne hal
stated in great pools of blood. The walls OF
the room were spattered with blood. Wynne
was guarded until morning, when he was ar
rested by officers from Dickson and started
to jail. They were intercepted by a mob
and Wynne was hanged to a tree on the
soadside about noon. &c made no stataniant

HOTTEST OF THE YEAR.
A Warm Wave Prevails All Over the

A hot wave on colossal scale preve ed

eastern Dor ders of Maine, and from
Canada to the Gulf. The maximum tenn
perature throughout this vast region

In the vicinity of New York the heat

several cases of prostration were reported.
In several points in New Jersey the tenipera-
ture reached 105 degrees. In some places
factories were closed on account OF the
heat. In Brooklyn eight cases of prostra-

Washington had its ''hottest day OF the

at Manchester one man died.
Pittshurg suffered a great deal under
ninety eight degrees of heat, and workmen
were obliged to ssxnock OFF, and go home.
Kentucky seems to have stood near the
head of the list, for at Louisville the tenn
perature on the streets was ITO degrees.
in Illinois and Iowa the air was SO sitting
