COMMENT AT NEW YORK.
The Politicians nuch Stirred Up Over
the Incident.

NEW YORK, Dec. ll.-Nothing in a long
time has created so much gossip among
New York politicians as the speech that
Speaker CIisp did not deliver at the Re
form Club banquet last night.
L. Eilery Anderson, president Of the Re-
form Club, said: Il am extremely sorry
that Speaker Crisp feels offended. | would

have talked with members Of the committee
and they also are ignorant. Certainly no
discourtesy was inteDned Crisp's name
was not on the list of speakers and there
was no reason why he should have been
asked to speak at the Reform dinner"
II is not strange that Crisp should not
have been asked for an address The Re-
form Club stands fer certain thing in the
party policy which Crisp does not represent.
Speaker Crisp's friends who remained In
the city are furious at the incident in wh ch
be figured aud at what they call the "cod-
blooded" way in which the mem bers Of the
Reform Club talked about il.
just before Speaker Crisp left the Hoff-
man House for the Madison-square Assem-
bly, rooms Saturday night he was asked If a
copy Of bis speech could be procured. The
Speaker replied that he was not certain he
would be called upon, but If he was be said
the press associations would furnish a copy.
Mr.. Barrett, the Speakers secretary, was
hunting for some one connected with the
dinner committee earlier in the evening.
anxious 10 learn whether the Speaker would
be asked 10 make an address. He found no
one who could tell him, and the Speaker
had TO 90 tie dinner ignorant as to whether
he would be speaker or simply listener.
The whole subject of the dinner has
greatly stirred Up the Reform Club, and
there are runners that the dissatisfaction in
the club will make Itself manifest at the
approaching CLUB lection. A quiet move
ment is on foot TO prevent the reelection of
Anderson as president.
Most of the Democratic Representatives
think the Crisp incident at the Reform din

THE TELEGRAPHERs' STRIKE.
The Rock Islands Business i'm Kansas
Not Affected

TOPEKA, Kans.. Dec. 1.-THE strike of
the k ck Island telegraph operators. as far
as II concerns the road in Kansas, has not
been very effective. At all the large sta
tons. the railway people state, either the
old men have gone back or new n en- have
been engaged TO take the strikers places
At many small stations in Kansas, how
ever, the road has been unable to fill the
vacancies caused by the strike. Tie effect
OF the strike upon the business of the road
does not seem TO be very great. Most OF the
trains arriving to-day were on time. The
effect upon the telegraph business was more
apparent The Western Union receives
messages to many points on the Rock
Island, subject to indefinite delay. and it is
impossible to get commercial or news dis
patches from those points.
CHICAGO. Dec. 1.-THE situation in the
Rock Island strike remains unchanged
The report that the company had acceded to
the strikers demands is pronounced bogus
General Manager ST. John tonight said /:
There is no strike on our road. A few va
eancies were caused by the voluntarily with
drawal OF some of our employees, but they
have been filled and trains are moving on
time. We have suffered no Inconvenience. >
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. IL. - The striking
Rock Island operators here were more con-
fdent than ever to-day. Most encouraging
reports Of sympathy from other railroad
organizations come from the union meeting
at Stuart, Iowa, yesterday.

AMERICAS ATTITUDE.
Cannon Replies TO Tirard at
Brussels.
The United States Delegation Sur
prised at the Attitude of the Latin
Union Toward Silver.
Special TO The MoRNISs CALL

BRUSSELS, Dec. 11.-At the meeting OF
monetary conference yesterday Hans For
sell of the Sweden and Norway delegation
asked the Americans if they would agree to
ratio Of 20 10 !, which would be a nearer
approach 10 the present silver value
Senator Allison replied shat the Ameri-
cans would prefer a ratio of 10 TO l, but If
agreeable to the European States, the
Americans might accept different ratio.
For himself, be thtughta siiyer-usjpg State
would most logically adopt a ratio Of I5lb to
l. America would accept no ratio unless
sufficient number of Governments entered
into an eyre ement to make il effectual.
United States Delegate Henry w. Can
non, replying to Tirard of the French
delegation, said he was surprised at the
attitude Of the Latin Union. as il was sup
posed in America that the Latin Union,
being the largest silver holder, would be
very friendly to its use as money. But it
appeared that they are not inclined to Join
America in an agreement for its extended
use. while Great Britain, with cut an impor-
tant quantity OF silver. suggested its
purchase for use as money. He denied that
the UGited States was undnly Influenced In
It's silver legislation by the silver producers.
he thought the proposed purchase
by Europe. provided it was in addition to
the amount of silver now naturally used
might be q bridge 10 join tie money metals.
America. up 20 the present time. had no
difficulty in maintaining a parity between
gold aud silver and intended TO maintain
it. IL, however, silver was to be further
dishonored and used the same rs paper
money, without regard to its price, America
would still be in an excellent position 10
profit by the state of affairs as shown in the
conference.
Denver dispatch in the London Times
Saturday said that since silver has fallen
below 90 cents an ounce mining operations
have ceased TO be profitable. Miners in the
silver fields have been discharged and hun
dreds of min es have been closed.
Senator Jones to-day said: "There is
not word Of truth in IT, The price of
silver has nothing to do with it. If the
mines close they do so on account Of the
lack of silver The dispatch was sent to
create sentiment unfavorable TO its use."

= CAPRIVI REBUFFED.
He VIII Withdraw the Military Bill or
Eesign.

BERLIN. Dec. IA grave crisis may
occur at any mement. BerlIn talks of
nothing but the rebuff suffered by chan
eelIor Won Caprivi over the army bill owing
to the attitude OF the Center party. The
.Chancellor's reply, limiting at a disso-
luton Of the Reiehstag, comes under the
category of good news to his opponents,
who would be returned with sweeping
majority. Caprivi's retirement is loudly
talked Of 1t is regarded as necessary, as
the Chancellor is entirely out of touch with
the people. The town is full OF rumors.
One is that the imperial message dissolying
the Reichstag will be read tomorrow. An
other is that the army bill will be put into
effect without consultation with tile Reich
stag.
Csprivi is unweH to-day, bur nevertheless
held consultation with the Conservative
leaders. de attributes much of the opposi.
ton to the army bill to the Ablwardt scandal.
This evening he was summoned to the i'm
perial palace to confer with the Kaiser. AT
late hour tonight it is reported that he
will withdraw the military bill or tender mis-
resignation. This, however, is not official.
Count Won Euienburg. Herr MIGUEL. Gen.

current, and il this rumor has any founda-
ton 1T is quite possible that the department
has in view the transfer OF the members OF
her crew, who have some time to serve, to
the new ships.
Unfortunately for this purpose the pres

are is also important. The whole difficulty
can readily be settled by legislation increas-

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON Cd. c., Dec. 12-Rarei5
any legislation of practical importauCa
can be achieved in Congress before
the new year, and this session is not
likely 10 prove exceptional. In both houses
work is progressing in a manner that indi-
Gates lack OF real earnestness. The promi-
nent features of this weeks proceedings are
likely 10 be the anti-option bill in the Sem
ate and the appropriations bill in the
House. During the morning hour in the
Senate tomorrow Senator Mitchell will dis
cuss the joint resolution proposing an
amendment 10 the constitution providing
for the election Of Senators by the votes of
the qualified electors of the States. In the
House the debate will begin on the army
appropriation bill. The bill In the aggre-
gate shows a reduction from the total
amount of the current year. but there are
several increases in appropriations under
the head OF department of Ordnance"
The Appropriations Committee expect 20
report the fortilicaiion bin in time for IL to be
taken up as soon as the army bill is passed.
1t is believed that the District of Columbia
bill will be reported 10 the House In tile
latter part Of The week. The estimates fer
the deficiencies have been received, and
these will be embodied in the urgent de-
hciency bill to be reported TO the House
and taken up almost Immediately for ac-
tion, other bills under discussion to tempo

Pope Leo DispIeased With His Action

address en the school question. The text

IF the report be true 1t somewhat COM
pleates matters. What Monsignor Satoll
said on the school question was in accord
ance with the powers impaired TO
him and which he exercised at
the Arehbishop's council In regard
TO the senocl question it is quite
possible. however. that in making a long
address on the subject, which would find its
way into print, MgT. Satolli really offended
the Pope and was therefore recalled. 1t
must be remembered that Pope Leo is a
diplomat and would keenly feel any

their various wounds dressed at the City

The real cause Of the trouble could net
be ascertained, as all Of the participants in
the row tell conflicting stories. The local
ity in which the siabbing occurred is a
lonely one and owing to the lack of police
officers poorly guarded. In consequence
