only 'nigger business" any how.
A queer place, you say, for the Le-
bourgeois mansion, off ''the square"
beyond Riley street and this side OF

old words over him about 'our deceased

"Mademoiselle is in, but not madame, :"

He had hardly time to gather together
enough of his impressions to realize
that the hall was very wide and ran
the whole length of the house, was
wainscoted, and hung with armor and
curious things; that a couple of settlers

big as "the square" itself, surrounded
by wall topped by an iron-spiked
railing cumbersome and rusty-this
was the old-fashioned casket in which
was at present locked the loveliest
jewel in the st. Louis collection of
society gems. Originally fashion had
surged about the old wall. The cheap
blocks and tumble-down rookerIes now
visible were once similar abodcs of re-
til ed planters, cotton brokers, and
shippers whose descendants had fed to
pleasanter quarters up town. Spared
and left high and dry by a tide
that had swept off every other YES
tige of that old regime, the Lebour-
geois mansion could but hint history
to the curious eye of the passer-by.
The very porters lodge itself was now
deserted. Formerly the caller was not
left to swing OPEN for himself those
huge, ungainly iron gates, from each
of which frowned down an alleged lion
of almost life-size, his cIrious1y-
twisted tail bearing aloft a medallion
counterfeit of medieval banner and a
scroll emblazoned with the motto APP
propriated by the family, Dteu ct mon
DrOtt.
Now the applicant for admission
pushed up by main strength the heavy
latch, if the gates were not themselves
already ajar, as was most likely to be
the case in Difference to the modern idea
of hospitality for city house.
Here had lived Col. Lebourgeois dur
ing long bachelorhood, which had
lasted until he was turned of so, defy
ing the iconoclasm of change, and still
looking forth every morning on to the
same Mississippi on which his ancestors
had also gazed every morning for gen.
erations. Here, in that heather per-
iod, had many night gathered the
bucks, bloods, and men about town fol-
revels, whose echoes did not reach
their associates of the fashionable
world separated by miles of substan-
tial blocks-revels in which, rivaling
as they did the orgies of the East, frail
woman by her presence gave toast to
the wine and sentiment to the song.
Here Col. Lebourgeois woke up one
sober, rainy morning, to realize that
unless he soon married the family name
must die with him. Here he
brought home lovely, trusting
bride from New Orleans, thirty years
his junior Here he passed his few re-
naming days in a pure-hearted bliss
that he did not deserve. Here the
childish voices of noble boy and ten
der-hearted little girl awohe echoes of

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-At the reques
of the house foreign affairs committee,
special meeting was called yesterday 10
the purpose of considering the presidents
message on the GILLIAN controversy anC
the accompanying correspondence. p in
, ted copies of the correspondence were
received, and the members OF the com.
mittee spent some time in the considera-
ton OF it. There was an Informal discus.
sion OF very general character, but no
conclusion was cached, partly because If
the late phase IS given the case Iiy the As
sociated Press dispatch from Santiago an
nouncing substantial compliance by
Chill with the request OF the president,
and partly because of the necessity of a
careful examination of the correspon-
dence contained in the telegram of Minis
ter Pierrei of January 4. The note Of
Minister Montt7 of December 10 and
January IS, were regarded as an express
sion of good feeling Oh the. part of Chill,
and perhaps all that ought to be deman-
ded There was no desire, members said,
to press the government of Chill, and
they we're disposed to accept the offer as
entirely Satisfactory. 1t was pointed out

avowed responsibility for, or sympathy
with, the attack OH the sailors of the Bal
timore, she would naturally be cautious in
whatever she said on this subject, as the
governments connection with the matter
would be one of the main questions on
which the decision of either arbitrators or
the United States supreme court would
depend on considering the question of
reparation. 1t was generally conceded |
that the proposition to refer to arbitration
or to the decision of the United States
supreme court the entire Baltimore incl
dent is proposition which cannot well
be rejected by this government. There is
one point in the dispatch from Santiago,
however, that is somewhat mystifying to
all, and that is why the Chilian gov
ernment should deem it necessary to re-
cede from its request for the withdrawal
Of Minister Egan, since that was not one
OF the demands contained in the ultima
tum of the United States. This is a con-
cession which was not expected.

BRIEF WlRINGS::-
HERE'S A PRETTY MESS.
National Board OF Trade Talk on Silver
Coinage, Crop Reports and Tele-
graphy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. - Among tn
resolutions submitted this morning 70
T. consideration of the Board of Trad
convention, the following important pro
positions are supported by the delegate
from Chicago, Milwaukee, st. LOUIS ant
the western and northwestern states il
general
'"That the proposed free and unlimited
coinage OF silver is reckless invitation
to commercial disaster. We believe thai
prudence and common sense dictate {
repeal of the present law and the cessa
tion of silver coinage until some inter
national agreement snail have been made
or the requirements of trade demand
further coinage; that this board which
has uniformly approved and advocated the
principle of sound currency, is against
any legislation whose effect will be to
disturb the value Of the circulating me-
dium. We are opposed to any legislation
providing for the coinage OF any dollar
which is lot OF the identical and full value
OF any other dollar coined or issued BY
the government Any debasement OF
currency is detrment to our commerce.
We approve of such settlement of the
silver and gold question as is had in accord
with the great powers to give the metals
equality at uniform ratio.
That the National Board of Trade
recommends to congress the revision of
the laws relative to the purchase Of silver
and coinage of silver bullion, so that the
treasury notes issued against such pur-
chases may be uniform in tenor and obli-
CATION.
THAT the National Board of Trade
memoriallze the executive and legislative
departments of the national government
to promote and secure, at the earliest
possible date, and international confer
ence for the adjustment of fixed ratio
between gold and silver, and further that
until such ratio has been secured by in
ternatlonal agreement, that any and all
legislation aiming at the free coinage of
silver or the repeal OF the present law
should be strenuously opposed
"Thatth good of the country requires
The discontinuance of the monthly re-.
ports on crops of the Bureau of Agricul-
sure, as ia the judgment of this board,
;hese reports disturb values and are
altogether unreliable.
That it is the sense of this association
hat the prices now paid by the people for

the Springfield leaders of the recent

but reliable intelligence of their ultima
tun. II is that the county attorney must
drop the prosecution Of those under ar

no more arrests made. The under-sheriff
