THE ROCK ISLAND STRIKE.
The Company Has Not Granted tn
Operators Demands.


The Company Has Not Granted the
Operators Demands.
CHICAGO, Dec. ll.-The situation in
the Rock Island strike remains un-
changed. The report that the company
had acceded to the strikers demands is
pronounced bogus, but General Manager
st.. John tonight said 'There is no
strike on our road. The few vacancies
caused by the voluntary withdrawal OF
some employees are filled; trains are
running on time and we suffer no incon-
venience."
Topeka, Kan, Dec. 1.-THE strike OF
Rock Island operators, go far as II con-
Germs the road in Kansas, is not very
effective. At all the large stations, the
railway people state. either the old men
have gone back or new men have been
engaged to take the strikers' places.
At many stations in Kansas the
road 10 unable to fill the vacancies.
The effect OF the strike upon the busi-
ness of the road does not seem to be
very great. Most of the trains arriving
TODAY were on time. The effect upon
telegraph business is more apparent.
The Western Union receives messages
to many points on the Rock Island, sub
iect to indefinite delay, and it is impos-
eible to get commercial or news dis
patches from those points.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 1.-THE striking
Rock Island operators here are more
confident than ever today. The most
encouraging reports of the sympathy OF
other railway organizations come from
the union meeting held at Stuart, Ia,
Yesterday.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
Remarks of Allison and Cannon In the
Monetary Conference.

Remarks of Allison and Cannon In the
Monetary Conference.
BRUSSELS, Dec. 11.-At the meeting Of
the monetary conference yesterday,
Hans J. Forsell OF the Sweden and Nor
way delegation asked the Americans if
they would agree to ratio OF 20 to l,
which would be a nearer approach to
the present silver value. Senator Alli-
son replied that the Americans would
prefer ratio of 16 to /, but if agreeable
to the European states, the Americans
might accept different ratio. For him
self he thought silver-using state
would most logically adopt ratio of
15% to 1. America would accept no
ratio unless sufficient number of gov
ernments entered into an agreement to
make it effectual.
Cannon, replying to Tirard OF the French
delegation, said he was surprised at the
attitude of the Latin union, as it was
supposed in America that the Latin
union, being the largest silver holders,
would be very friendly to it's use as
money, but it appeared they were not
luCIlucu W JUN hucIlCh dH dBIcc-
ment for it's extended use, while Great
Britain, without an important quantity
OF silver, suggested itsspurchase for use
az money. He denied that the
United States was unduly influenced
in silver legislation by the silver pro-
duct. He thought the proposed pur-
chase of $4,000 900 ounces of silver an
nually by Europe, in addition to the
silver now naturally used, might be a
bridge to join the money metals.
America up to the present time had no
difficulty in maintaining the parity
between gold and silver, and intended
to maintain it. If, however, silver was
to be further dishonored and used the
same as paper money, without regard
to the price, America would still be in
an excellent position to profit by the
state OF affairs as shown in the confer

ThevSpeaker Does Not Like to Discuss
His Implied Snub.
WASHINGTON, Dec. n.-Speaker Crisp
is back in Washington. He is not in
clined to freely discuss for publication
some incidents connected with the Re.
form club banquet. In reply to ques-
tions from an Associated Press reporter
he said: "To begin with, the press OF
the country is resting under a misap-
prehension 30 far as regards the fact
that 1 was invited to speak
at the banquet. | was not in
vited to speak, but armed
myself in advance in case I should be
called upon. 1t is true gave out to
the press associations in advance re-
marks intended to make should be
called upon to say few words. 1t is
not true that left the banquet hall in
q disgruntled condition, and did not re-
turn as published. left my seat tenn
porarily to look after my clothes in the
cloak room. This task completed re-
turned to the banquet hall and was one
of the last to leave it.
"As regards the implied 'enub' to me,
as has been charged, l do not care to
discuss the subject for publication, nor
do care at this time to discuss the
statements by some persons that Cleve<
land in his remarks fred the opening
gun in war that was to be waged
against my re- election to the speakers
chair should be candidate before the
Fifty-third congress"
On his attention being called to the
fact that his friends expressed indigna-
ton at what they conceived to be an
intended slight, he said the matter was
of too delicate a nature to discuss in
public prints.

THE SPEECH THAT WASN'T MADE
Speaker Crisp's Friends Highly
Indignant.
They Claim That He Was Snubbed
in Cold Blood.
The Reform Club Dinner Has Raised
an Awful Racket = Politicians
Greatly Excited Over the
Incident.

BY the Associated Pres
New YORK. Dec. ii Nothing in a
long time has created go much gossip
among New York politicians as the
speech Speaker Crisp did not deliver at
the Reform club dinner last night.
Ellery Anderson, president of the Re-
form club, said: 81 am extremely cory
that Speaker Crisp feels offended. l would
like to find out how he got the impress
sion t::at he was to be one Of the speak
ers. Ihave talked with the members of
the committee, and they are also ignor-
ant. Certainly no discourtesy was in
tended. Crisp's name was not on the
list OF speakers, and there 10 no reason
why he should be asked to speak at
reform dinner. 1t is not unus-
ual that Speaker Crisp should not
be asked for an address. The reform
club stands for certain thing in party
policy that Crisp does not represent"
Speaker Crisp's friends who remained
in the city are furious at the incident in
which he figured, and at what they call
the scold blooded" way in which
the members of the Reform
club talked about it. Just
before Speaker Crisp left the Hoffman
house for the Madison Square assembly,
Saturday night, he was asked If copy
of his speech, could be procured. The
speaker replied that he was not certain
that he would be called upon, but if he
was, the Associated Press would furnish
q copy.
Mr.. Barrett, the speakers secretary,
was hunting for some one connected
with the dinner committee earlier in
the evening, anxious to learn whether
the speaker would be asked to make an
address. He found no one who could
tell him, and the speaker had to 60 to
the dinner ignorant of whether he
would be speaker or simply listener.
The whole subject OF the dinner has
greatly stirred up the Reform club. The
rumor of dissatisfaction in the Reform
club will make itself manifest
at the approaching club cleo
ton. A quiet movement is on foot
to prevent the reelection of Anderson
as president. Most of thu Democratic
representatives think the Crisp incident
at the Reform dinner will precipitate
speakership contest, and that hostilities
between the two wings of the party
will Immediately begin.

LIsTLEss LEGISLATORS.

Congress Not Disposed to Do Much Be-
fore the Holidays.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1l.-Rarely is any
legislation OF practical importance
achieved in congress before new year,
and this session is not likely to prove
exceptional. In both houses work is
progressing in manner that indicates
lack OF real earpestness. The promi-
nent features of this weeks proceedings
are likely to be the anti-option bill in
the senate and appropriation bills in the
house.
During the morning hours in the SEN
ate tomorrow Senator Mitchell will dis
cuss a joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution provid-
ing for the election of senators by the
votes of the qualified electors of the
states.
In the house debate will begin on the
army appropriation bill. The bill, in
the aggregate. shows reduction from
the total amount of the current ear,
but there are several increases in ap-
preparations under the head of depart
ment of ordnance" The appropria-
tions committee expects to report the
fertilization bill in time for it to be
taken up as soon as the army bill is
passed. 1t is believed that the District
of Columbia bill will be reported to the
house the latter part of the week. Es-
Inmates for deficiencies have been re-
ceived, and these will be embodied in
the urgency deficiency bill to be re-
ported to the house and taken up al
most Immediately for action, and other
bills under discussion are to temporarily
give way. 1t is the purpose of the
managers of the house to get all these
bills over to the senate before the holiday
recess. The accomplishment of this
purpose largely depends on the temper
of the house, which. if in mood, can
protract the consideration of the bills
over several weeks.
Chairman Cultivate of the house
military committee has prepared re-
port for submission to the house, with
the army appropriation bill agreed upon
by the committee. The report states
sufficiently and clearly the reasons for
the changes made by the committee in
the number of paragraphs, as compared
with the bill for the current fiscal year.
Substan tially the only increased appro-
priation carried in the bill is for the
bureau of ordnance, and the reasons
therefor are stated quite fully in QUOTA
tions from the testimony by General
Flagler before the committee.
