BRUSSELS, Dec. 5.-The possibility oi
the repeal OF the Sherman act was much
discussed among the members OF the in
ternational monetary conference today.
The opinion was that it would be q seri-
GUS blow, unless accompanied by some
other special legislation in support oi
silver.
The Independence Beige says a COM
mittee will today examine into the pro-
posal OF G.. F. Teitjen, the Daniah dele
gate. The proposal provides that an
international urion be formed to
fix the relative value of gold
and silver, on the basis Of the
average price OF silver in London during
the formation of the union. The mem
bers of the union will be permitted to
coin an unlimited amount Of silver tC
the value of 81, which will have un-
limited debt-paying power in the coun-
try where coined.
The scheme provides for the appoint
ment of committee to watch the silver
market. ii the market value of that
metal falls per cent below the value
fixed, the committee will have
power to decide whether fresh
issue OF silver coin is necessary
Every bank of iesue will have
the right to have portion of its metal
lie reserve in silver coin of the union
with the distinction that on six months
notice a nation can demand that the sill
yer coins held in the banks and treasury
can be repaid in gold by the country
whence the coins came.

today by the examination of the remains
that the arms of human being found a
short time ago in Stockton channel were
not the members of the body of Doctor
lyman of Modesto, who was last eeen in

drew $4,000 from bank and started for
Modesto. The remains were uncovered
by the coroner today. Mrs. lyman drove
out to the cemetery, accompanied by
several friends. and sat in her car
riege while Coroner Clark exposed
the bones of the arms, which showed no
breaks. DIR. lyman once broke his right
arm above the elbow and the pieces of
bone were never properly united, leav-
ing the arm almost useless. Mrs. lyman
saw the exposed bone which was buried
here, and is now Satisfied that the MUIR
dered man was not her husband.
Another woman whose husband dis
appeared from Stockton three years ago
was there to see if the remains could be
identified. She was the wife of Albert
Poleky, dairyman, who left bis home
one evening at 8 O'Clock and

Secrecy Maintained as to the German
Military Scandal.
BERLIN, Dec. 5.-The documents in the
Rector Alhwardt case were read in
camera, as it was feared the public, lack
ing in technical knowledge, might exag-
gerate the Importance of the affair. The
story generally credited is that prom
inent officer, heavily indebted to and
hard pressed by Jews, sent the docu-
ments, on which the charges are based,
to Ahlwardt, and then committed sui
eide. The secret documents show that
$40, out of $3.50, Lowe rifles tested for
Laudwehr and Vessel, required repairs
Colonel Brakel, in his report, declared
that the defects do not prove the rifles
unserviceable. The slightest mistake in
manufacture involves repairs.

At s o'clock procession OF 200 voters
formed in line at tho hull, headed by q
martial band, and proceeded to march
upon tho principal streets OF tho town.
Tho enthusiasm shown during this pro-
cession and at tho organization OF this

represented tho meeting the night be-
fore, that there were moro than 81 pros.

tho working Republicans were there to
help turn West Virginia into tho Re-
publican column this fall. ,5.,.5 Il
Sheriff j. NJ. Jones was temporary
chairman OF tho meeting and John NJ.
Gregg, recorder, was mado secretary.
There was nothing lacking at this meet
ing, which impressed one that tho boys
were not out to stay, and the number
who signiiied their intentions OF attend
ing tho League at Parkersburg was an
assurance that q good strong delegation
will 20 from here. Lawyer Lazzcll put
ShcritF-Joncs before tho meeting as

1t was resolved to call the club the
Young Mems Republican Club OF Nor

enrolled on the marching clubs lists,
which will be composed exclusively OF
young men, and uniforms and drums
will be purchased for the club in q few
