Secretary Foster Unable to See Silver Sue
cess I'm the Monetary Conference
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The Belgian
cable today. predicting no definite re-
suit from the monetary conference now
being held in Brussels, creates no sur
prise in the treasury department.
Secretary Foster declares himself hope
full of some accomplishment, but has no
hope of the adoption of bi-metallism.
THE most he has hoped for" said an
official in the department. sis that the
interchange of views may afford some
new and valuable light on the subject,
and thereby pave the way for some sub
sequent conference.
THE secretary has been aware since
his visit to England last summer that
there was no hope of England consent
ing to bi-metallism, and, until England
consents, Germany, which follows En-
glands footsteps in the financial world,
will not consent There is to be Il con-
ference on the silver question in India
in about six months. After it England
may think otherwise on the subject.
Until size does, however, nothing may
be looked for at any international mon

least, that this man makes more money
than many a mechanic or clerk in a
store, that without any expenses worth
mentioning he makes thirty dollars a
week or more by begging. These are
facts. There are men plying the trade
of beggars in the streets of Chicago
who take in more money than many
people who are their victims. In fact,
it is the exception if you meet one who
begs money from necessity. The pro-
fessional beggar stands around at a
corner or in the middle of block in
the central part of the city where there
is much life in the streets after dark.
He usually accosts gentlemen who have
ladies on their arms, calculating-and
correctly, too--that n man will give
liberally because he does not wish to
appear niggardly in the sight
of his sweetheart, or, in fact,
any lady of his acquaintance. In
majority of cases he is successful with
his suit, as he has q very pretty and
pathetic story of misfortune to tell in
an apparently straightforward fashion,
ard the man who is spoken to knows
that he cannot convince his lady that
this is a professional beggar; she will
look upon such n statement merely as
a subterfuge, and in addition to think
ing her escort mean in money matters
will blame him for trying to tell
falsehood in order to make an excuse
to her. These professional beggars
know their trade to perfection. They
understand human nature, and. as a re-
suit, some of them own their homes
and have money invested or in bank.
II they put their abilities to some good
use they might be valuable members
of society instead OF being non-pro-
ducers and parasites.
Chicago is getting foretaste of what
it will be when it is the mart of ma
tions next year. We are having quite
a variety of exhibitions of national or
tribal peculiarities. One of the chief
characteristics of the Esquimau fam
lily seems to be their great vitality and
capacity for accommodating them
selves to all circumstances and sur
roundings. Their family life does not
appear to be disturbed IN the least by
the change in their surroundings. and
they go on fulfilling the Scriptural in
junction to multiply and people the
earth just the same as if they were
Christians. They evidently enjoy see
ing us as much as we enjoy seeing
them. They live in the greatest COM
fort on the exposition grounds and are
beginning to feel more at home since
cold weather set in. The only thing
that has occurred, SO far, to mar their
peace of mind was the visit of colored
man, one of the genuine sons of Africa,
coal black and with big, shining white
teeth. The Esquimsux took him for
the devil or some such being, whatever
may be his name in their mythology,
and one of the young Esquimau ladies
went into a faint over it. Another
peculiar occurrence was the dedication
of the Turkish building by the COM
missioner for that country in regular
Mohammedan style. A poor American
sheep had to suffer for our am bition. as
it was sacrificed according to Moslem
fashion amid cries for Allah, the
prophet, and the sultan.

for submittal to congress when it meets

which amounted to S4O9. COS, 693. The
estimates for the departments of JUS
tice, agriculture, labor and staue show
put slight increase, amounting in all of
them, when footed up, to not more
than 81, 100000 The executive branch
proper, the White house, is about the
same as last year, and the judicial ap-
preparations, too, are but little in
creased.
To carry on the military and naval
establishments more money, it is
thought, will be needed, and, COM
bined, these two departments ask an
increase of about 81, 900, 900. The estab-
lishment of many additional free deliv-
cry offices and the necessary establish
ment of new offices have been tax on

mated, will exceed the receipts by So

advanced about $1,000, 900, caused in a
large measure by the erection of public
buildings during the past fiscal year,
which will have to be furnished and
supplied with janitors, etc, and the in
creased pay of the men employed in the
life-saving service.
1t is in the interior department, how
ever, that the greatest increase is
shown. While the estimates for this
departmental are not in hand it is known
for pensions alone slS5, 900, 900 will be
required, which is an increase of more

ceived by Secretary Noble. 1t deals ex-
clusively with the work of the board Of

excessive payments of pensions, whether
caused by fraud or mistake as prepay
ments, to be charged against the cur
rent pension law, with view to adj
justing or equalizing current pension
payments within the discretion of the
secretary In concluding his report
Gen. Bussey says:
II am gratified to be able to say that
the pledge of the nation, expressed
century ago, that IL any person, Wheth-
er officer or soldier, militia or regular,
called into the services of the United
States, be wounded or disabled while in
actual service, he shall be taken care of
and provided for ut public expense

compliance with the provisions of the
various pension laws on June 80, 1892,

New YoRk, Nov. 25.-The six story
building extending from 14S to 154 West
Twenty-third street and occupied by
Otis Corbett, furniture dealer, was dis
covered to be on FIRE shortly before

spreading with great rapidity. The
tenants in the house adjoining the

a BIackmaiIng Chief of Police.

San Andres de Palomar is n lively
manufacturing city of nearly twenty
thousand inhabitants. near to the large
commercial port of Barcelona on the
east coast of Spain. One Galardo, a
rich iuha bitant of the place, received
an anonymous letter the other day
threatened him with death il he re-
fused, on a certain day and hour, and
in certain secluded spot, to deposit
sum of money equal to two hundred
dollars. The man showed the letter to
two policemen, who advised him to go
to the appointed place, promising that
they would be there in hiding A man
covered with a dark mantle and a
mask before his face came and had
taken the money from the merchant
when he WAS seized by the two officers,
one of whom Immediately tore the mask
from the face of the robber. Then
they all stood transfxed with astonish-
ment-they recognized their own su-
perior-the chief of police of San
Andres. There the four men stood
facing each other; not word was
spoken. The chief dropped the money,
turned around and went away hastily.
The two officers did not dare to follow
him. They thought they would lose
their positions, and passed restless
night. In the morning, however, they
were comforted when they learned
that the chief had left the city and had
escaped into France.-Chicago Journal.
