Saunders and Cox gTappled with them. but
as b0th were unaTmed, while the robbers
each had reyOlyerS the struggle was an un-
equal one. Cox succeeded in throwing his
man out and cl1sing the door, after
Saunders had received n mortal wound. In
the excitement Cox did not realize that he
himself was wounded. Baggsgemaster Gil

Several Leading European Countries 10 Take
Part in the Conference.
VIENNA, May 21-The Invitation to the
international silver conference has embar-
rassed the Finance Ministers Of Austria
and Hungary, because it strengthens the
opponents of currency reform. Austria will
follow Germany, but is disinclined to enter
the conference. The belief here is that the
continuous fall in silver is a clever device Of
American silver kings TO force the price so
low that The Indian difficulty win compel
England TO cooperate with America 10 re-
habilitate silver. then to let the price rise
high enough to cOmpeu safe the spectators.
Goschen's acceptance OF the invitation IS re-
gaTded as the trump card Of the American
silver kings.
Dr. Stenbach. the Austrian Minister of
Finance, delivered a speech at cOuserya-
tive meeting bearing on currency matters,
which has been under discussion IN the
Reichsrath. He repudiated the idea that
the Government was accumnlating gold for
a war reserve. He said he did not believe
there was any danger of the formation Of a
gold ring.
BRUSSELS, May 21.-In the Chamber of
representatives. a Deputy asked particulars
Of the International Monetary Conference,
and advised the Government to advocate
monometallism and a gold standard. Beer
laert President Of the Council and Minister
OF Finance, said Belgium. as we'll as Great
Britain and France. had accepted the invi-
tatiOn to take part in the conference.
Speeches were made by a number of DeDu-
ties, in which they urged the Government
not to take the initiative in presenting the
question Of bimetallism. In reply, Beer
laert said the delegates were not to be
bound by the views adopted By the con-
ference.

Austin Deacon found the authorities will

THE FELTON, AGREEMENT.
Colonel Harrison Gray Otis Affrms That 1t is in
Existence.

Los ANGELES. May 21.-The Times will
tomorrow morning reproduce an article
from the San Francisco Examiner
on the FeltOn-De Young agreement as
to the Senatorial candidacy. including
memoranda of its editor. Colonel II. G.
Otis. with corrections of the statements of
FELTON, and Jackson and reaffirming the
absolute correctness of the memoranda in
question. The Times expresses tue opinion
that the dispatch was not sent from
Los Angeles, but that it was prepared in
San Francisco, and asserts positively that
copy Of the memoranda by Colonel OTIS was
not given out by him. After copying and
denying the correctness of the statement
of Colonel John p. jackson to the effect
that there was no compact such as is
described in the memoranda between Mr..
FELTON, and Mr.. de Young. the Times con-
cludes rs follows:
at is assumed that Colonel Jackson must
have been incorrectly reported here by the
Examiner, as the facts are the very reverse
Of the statements attributed 10 him.
1t would not be courteous to take
it for granted that he would
deliberately misrepresent the truth. The
facts are as given in The memoranda of
Colonel Otis, which cannot be cOntroverted.
He now presents the whole subject for the
information of the public, not in partisan
spirit, but in justice to the cOntendng par
ties, and with the sole object OF having the
truth prevail"

Testimony of the Peculiar Methods Used in

WASHINGTON, May 21.-The Census Off @
investigation was resumed to-day, and j. +.
Richards, discharged clerk, testified as 10
what he considered mismanagemPnt and
waste of public money in the division Of
wealth, debt, taxation and local govern
ment, whose chief was T. Campbell Cope
land. and who gave instructions to ascertain
various impracticable things, such as an ex-
haustive examination OF the State laws to
ascertain how many States had laws for
the Imprisonment of the mothers of illegiti-
mate children until they revealed the
name OF the child's father. The witness
estimated that S20, 600 to $50, 600 was thrown
away In worthless papers on this subject, as
well as $50, 600 or 10000 was expended In
collecting useless school statistical matter
He thought at least 100000 had
been wasted In the division. Witness had
trouble with Copeland regarding an article
which criticized the latter as All alien and
incompetent, and the witness placed a
placard, inscribed Protection to American
Industries" on the platform in the Office as
a protest against Copeland. The witness
WAS assigned then to the agricultural d.
vision. There he found that when the
enumeratoIs returned statistics stating that
farmers produced so much sugar, the clerks
were told to alter the schedules and put IN
so much mOlasses. as it must be assumed
they also produced molasSes, also II q
farmer returned m0lasses sugar was 10 De

The testimony of the witness showed that
