Rs Had Stood 1t Long Enough. So He
Put the Crowd On.
AS the train stopped at small station
in Kentucky it was discovered that a
switch engine had run off the track Just
beyond and a wrecking crew was at
work getting her off, The conductor
said we would be detained half an hour,
and many of us went up to see the
wreckers at work. There was a crowd
of fifty around the spot when a fat,
good natured looking man, who had a
mouth big enough to take in half a
pumpkin pie, came sauntering up and
bowed and smiled to everybody. He
was just getting ready to say something
when little skinny man with a piping
voice cried out at him.
Don't yo' do it, Sile Davis-don't yo'
do it! If yo' do I'll give yo dead away"
The good natured man fell back at
this, and saw him wink and motion to
the skinny man to draw aside for con-
fab.
81 don't want no truck with yo', Sile
Davis" was the reply. 81 told yo' last
keep shet."
The language aroused our curiosity,
as matter of course, and we were anx-
ious for the explanation when it came.
The fat man walked around for a minute
or two, and when he thought the other
was not looking he slipped up TO one of
our crowd and softly remarked:
Stranger, would yo' mind lendin me
chaw of plug tobacker fur a day or
two, till can git twenty-seven dollars
as is OWN me on job?'
Here, yo'r' shouted the skinny man.

Gentlemen, want to tell you about this
critter. He chaws mo- tobacker than
any fo' men in Kentucky and he begs

other.
"Only borrows it! And never pays,
Gentlemen, look at this memorandum

81 don't want none-rm a-chawin on

tried to brace up under the shock, but
he didn't hold his nerve over a minute,
and went off to hide himself behind

WASHINGTON, July 6.--No further opposition
TO the reference Of the Senate frec-coinage hill

ant secretary. Nearly all present had Some-
thing to say during tho course OF the conference,
which lasted until after IL o'clock. II
was agreed that one OF the main rea-
sons for delaying the reference Of tho bill
!. C., 20 get abseBtees here-had been accom-
plished, and that nothing would be lost In Yield
Ing the position assumed during the past two
days Tho fact that further porsistency I'm oppo-
sitlon 20 the reference OF the bill 20 the Coinage

a factor In determining the action OF tho confer
ence.
At the conclusion OF the conference Mr.. Tracey
made statement 10 the effect that the gentle
men present az tho conference had compared
notes and had reached the conclusion that on
full vote in the HousS they could defeat the bill
by a safe majority, although Mr.. Tracey did not
state the majority which he believed could be
secured.

thorough campaign against the bill when u
reached tho House the conference sl-
pointed two committees One Of these II

sltion to the bill. It consists OF Repre-
sentatives Herbert, Tracey Williams OF

AT the grave turn which the situation has
assumed. Up to the time of leaving this
afternoon he had not been officially ad-
vised of the riot by any OF the State au-
thoutios.
General SchoGeld said this afternoon
that no appeal had been made TO the
mihtary authorities TO aid IN sup
and that he d{d not think it would
be necessary Ho said that the State
militia of Pennsylvania was most eifi-
cient organization and that 1t would
be an easy matter to concentrate at least
5000 thoroughly reliable and wcll-dlscl-
plined State troops at Pittsburg or any
other given point at short notice. He said
that the government could not interfere
in the matter unless the Governor OF the
State should inform the President that the
case was beyond the control of the State

He explained that such ease arose du-
ring the PENNSYLVANIA railroad riots III

cope with the rioters, and 1t thus became
necessary 10 invoke the aid OF Federal
troops. but said that the State militia are
