Senator Jones Declares That Congress VIII
Pass n Sweeping Measure.
LONDON, Nov. 19.-The Financial
News to-day publishes an interview
with Senator Jones, one of the Ameri-
can delegates to the monetary confer
ence, in which he says that the people
in the United States appreciate
the vital Importance of the currency
question. while in England many peo.
pie are ignorant of the rudiments of
the matter. There was hardly an
American elector who had not formed
an intelligent opinion on this subject
1t had most important influence on
the last election.
In 'cply to question as to whether
the lnocrats would introduce free
coinage bill in congress Senator Jones
said: ''Yes, they are bound to. The
Times affirms that majority of the
new house of representatives are OPP
posed to free coinage. l feel sure that
this is erroneous. On the contrary there
Is two thirds majority in its favor II
was among the Democrats of the last
house that the supporters Of free coin
age were found If you trace these
men to their constituencies you will
find they have been reelected.
Whether free coinage bill Is in
troduced by the Democrats and
whether 1t passes or not are different
matters. Mr. Cleveland himself is
against free coinage. 1t is just to
question how far the Democrats will
feel the influence of his personality.
A great mass of the people are bent on
free coinage. Why should free
coinage tend to depreciate the
silver currency? We hear from
Indian officials much about the
Depreciation of silver in India, but
the Indian gets as much for his rupee
in commodities as he ever got. 1t is
not the silver that depreciates; it is
the gold that depreciates. We hear
about great stocks of silver. Where
are they2 When you talk of grain or
petroleum you can substautiate your
statements. want the same done in
the case of silver"

CHcAGo, Nov. is, The Transconti-

At its meeting in Chicago yesterday o
telegram was read from the Great

representative to the meeting.
This practically killed all plans
for reorganization, but the meeting
discussed plans for setting the associ-

able to arrive at anything like solu-

then adopted ordering Chairman Vim

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov 1s.-The
storm which began so gently last
night and ragged SO ferceiy this morn
ing is an Arkansas production. All
night the city was drenched with rain
and swept by heavy wind storm.
At o'clock this morning large flakes
of heavy, soggy snow began falling,
which soon developed into the worst
kind Of 'slushy" weather. At noon the
storm ceased. Telegraph wires were
down all around Kansas City. All
trains were nearly two or three hours
late
The storm is confined to a small sec.
ton OF country. Missouri is getting
the full benefit of it, with q center at
st. Louis, where it RACES with great
intensity There is some precipitation
in Eastern Kansas but none In the
western part of that state. Nebraska,
Iowa and the Northwest are also not
privileged to participate in this storm,
as it is confined mostly to Missouri.
Up to o'clock this morning half an
inch of rain had fallen at Kansas City
and about an inch and n half at st.
Louis. Signal Service Observer Con.
nor predits clearing weather tonight
and cold wave tomorrow morning.
The storm was severe in Kansas
City. Telephone and telegraph COM
panies are completely tied up, and
they report it the most damaging
storm known for two years. The
damage cannot be estimated, but it
will be heavy.
All of the telegraph connections be-
tween Kansas City and St Louis, and
Kansas City and Chicago are cut off
AMI it is impossible to reach other
eastern points.
The army Of operators in the Office
of the Western Union telegraph COM
pany sat 10y their keys this morning
yainly endeavoring to work them, but
they might asst rs well have been at
home or somewhere else, for they could
only get an occasional click of the
saunders However, the company did
have two wires working at noon-one
between Kansas City and Omaha and
the other between Kansas City and
Topeka All of the linemen of this
company are out and making repairs
os rapidly as possible.

Three Sections of the Country visited and
Great Damage Done.
CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-The conflict of
the elements incident to the exit of
warm weather and the advent of
winters chilly blasts, eliminated yes
terday in one of the most destructive
and far reaching storms of the
year. The initial battle ground of the
mighty opposing forces, it appears,
was near the little city of Redbud,
Randolph county, in the extreme
southwest part of Illinois, about
eighteen miles from the Mississippi
river.
Taking a southeasterly course one
prong of the storm passed rapidly on
through Western Kentucky and Ten
nessee leveliug everything in its path,
and only when Northern Alabama
was reached had 1t spent its force.
To the westward moved a
storm center, passing through Cen
trail Missouri, thence across North
ern Kansas, finally being lost in the
mountains of Wyoming. But the
curious feature of this remarkable at
mospheric disturbance lay in the di-
rection taken by the third arm-a
northerly course through Iowa, veer-
ing to the west into Nebraska, leaving
q hopeless tangle of wires in its wake.
All telegraph lines from here are
badly demoralized, as we'll as all over
the northwest and southwest.

KANSAS CROP REPORT.
The Corn Crop Makes a Good Showing
Wheat Sowing.


Wheat Sowing.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 10. Secretary
Mohler of the state board of agricul-
ture issued the following report last
evening:
The final estimate made of the corn
crop of Kansas by the correspondents
of this board places the average yield
per acre and the total product of the
state by sections as follows: Eastern
belt, acres, 29l, $50; product, "A, 442, :
92s bushels; average yield per acre
25.5l bushels Central belt, acres,
Q, 1929, 5s1, product, 55,s45, 797 bushels;
average yield per acre, 1897 bushels.
Western belt, acres, 956, 65S; product,
$500, 500 bushels; average yield per
acre, 23.46 bushels.
The total corn area for the state is
5,6O3, 5sS acres, the total product 1884,
65s, 62l bushels and the average yield
per acre 24.74 bushels.
The acreage sown to wheat this fall
and condition of plant in the eastern
belt of Kansas, our correspondents re-
port, in many counties is increased
over that of last year and the plant in
fairly good condition. In other coun-
ties, by reason of dry weather and UNI
favorable condition of soil, the
acreage is reported less. In
the central and western belts
the continued dry weather during oc-
tober and the first days of November
has greatly retarded wheat sowing
and with the exception of few coun-
ties there has been no increase over
the acreage of last year, and in some
counties by reason of dry weather the
acreage is less. Sowing, however, in
the western belt is still going on and
how the area sown to wheat this fall
may compare with that of last year
cannot be known until later day.

of about 5000 by two footpads. Last
night stranger was held up ON Main
street, and an aged lady named Hardi-

The police seem powerless to prevent
these outrages, and vigilance com
mittee is being discussed.
