In an interview with Senator Jones, one
OF the American delegates 10 the monetary
conference. the Senator says the people of
The United States appreciate the vital i'm
portance of the currency question, while in
England many of the people are ignorant
OF the rudiments of the matter
There is hardly an American elector,"
said the Senator, "who has not formed
an intelligent opinion on this subject. 1t
had most important influence on the last
election" In reply to a question as to
whether the Democrats would introduce a
Tree coinage bill in Congress the Senator
said: Yes, they are bound to. The
Times afhrms that majority Of the new
House of Representatives are opposed to
free coinage. feel sure that this is erro-
neous. On the contrary, there is two
third majority in its favor. 1t is among the
Democr ats of the last House that the sup
porters OF free coinage were found. Ii you
trace these men to their constituencies you
will find they have been reelected.
whether free-coinage bill is introduced
by the Democrats and whether it passes or
not is different matter. Mr.. Cleveland
himself is against free coinage. 1t is just
the question how far the Democrats will
feel the influence Of his personality. A
great mass Of people are bent On free COIN
age. Why should free coinage tend to de-
preciate the silver currency? We hear
from Indian officials much about the depre-
citation of silver in India, but the Indian
gets as much for rupee in commodities as
he ever got. 1t is not silver that depreciates,
1t is gold that appreciates. We hear about
great stacks of silver. Where are they?
When you talk Of grain or petroleum you
can substantiate your statements"

This last conference was held late. and for

His r1isdeeds.

His rlisdeeds.
VICTORIA, b. c., Nov. 1S.-One mere
wrong-doer has been run to earth after a
long chase. Florian l.. Wolf, Or Waideck,
for that is believed to be his real name, who
is wanted in San Francisco on charge of
embezzling over S20,0 from q wholesale
cigar-house, Of which he was the book
keeper and confidential clerk, was arrested
at Mission Junction yesterday afternoon.
he had been in Victoria about a fortnight
ago, but disappeared very eleverly just as
the police thought they had him. Since
then IL was not known where he was. Ser
geant Walker of Victoria has been up the
line for couple of days. and with Sergeant
Haywood OF this city has been searching for
the embeZzler. They at last got informa-
ton that their man had reached Mission.
They captured him in the nick of time. for
he had in his possession ticket for Mon
treal. He had had great difficulty in reach
ing Mission. He walked a great part of the
way or padded it in a canoe. His disguise
was complete. Since his arrest he said that
Wolf was not his name, but that he hardly
knew which was his own name and which
was not. he had taken so many lately. He
will be taken TO Victoria this afternoon.
IIuIidu w aiueCk WAS well kuOWn neEo as
man about town. sport and liberal
patron of shady resorts. He was book
keeper for j. Kahn & Co.. wholesale cigar
merchants on Sacramento street, and on the
29th ulr. absconded. The firm placed the
matter in the hands of Morse's detective
agency and offered a reward of $500 for
Waldeck's arrest. It was supposed at the
time of his disappearance that he had gone
to Vancouver. When Waldeck left
this city he was accompanied by a
fast woman. and he had but little money
although his stealings during the four years
he was with Kahn & Co. amounted to
nearly $4,000.

FEARING PARALYSIS.
General Rosecrans May Be Subject to
Paralytic Stroke.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1s.-General Rose
Grams and his daughter left to-day for
Fortress Monroe. The numbness of Gen.
eral RosecraDs' hands, which has been
noticed for some time, Is feared
to be an approach of paralysis,
and his friends have been somewhat
alarmed about him. General Rosecrans, In
the discharge of his officia! duties. is re-
quired to sign bis name to Government
bonds and treasury notes many times day,
and sometimes very rapidly. This may
only have induced the writers paralysis in
his right hand, but would not account for
the numbness of the left Therefore it is
feared there may be some affection
of the brain. So far General Rosecrans is
not suffering any, and goes about
so well ii would not be supposed that he is
ailing. In younger person General Rose
Grams trouble would not occasion much
alarm. but in one of his rs years of age
there is some danger that he may be carried
oil at any time by paralytic stroke. At
the best he is feebler than most persons of
his age.
