that a bride and groom had entered the

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec 6.-An In
diana gentleman but recently returned
from Washington, whittier he went on
political and private business, and who
is warm personal friend Of President
Harrison, spent a brief time at the
White house in private conversation
with him.
Naturally the talk was about pol
itics for a time, but the president ex-
pressed no personal dissatisfaction with
the result OF the election said the Wis
itor in relating his experience His
only feeling seemed that of regret at
the failure of his party. AS the CONVEX
sation progressed we referred to private
affairs, and l was not surprised to have
the president say to me, as indicating
his feelings:
Were you to ask me how long
had been in this position I would am
swer, ten years And during all that
time it appears there has not been a
single week without an added sorrow.
The ordeals, private and public, are
such as | do not care to have repea ted
in my experiences
II has been determined, the gentle
man said, that the president viii make
Indianapolis his home and Will resume
the practice OF law. It seems proba bic
that his labors will be in the capacity
of counselor in a firm which will in
clude Attorney-General Miller, John 3.

will appear in the courts only on the
most important business.
The Monetary Conference.
BRUSSELS, Dec. THE international
monetary conference resumed its sit
ting yesterday. Discussion of the re-
port OF the committee which had eX-
anined the Rothschiid proposition was
at once begun, but after speech by
Sir c. Rivers. Wilson, d member of the
British delegation, Mr.. Rothschild an
nounced that he would withdraw his
scheme from the further consideration
of the conference.
Mr.. James B. McCreary.rof the United
States delegation. proceeded to point
out the difficulties and perils of the ex-
listing situation. He said that what
ever was the cause, the fact remained
that remedy was imperatively needed.
He appreciated the attention which Mr.
de Rothchild had given to the impor-
tant business of the conference, but he
could not support the de Rothchild plan.

ATLANTA, Tex, Dee. About 1

One child was found SEQ yards away il

house, with all its contents, was de-
stroyed. The house of Wesley Lawson,
colored, was demolished and several
children fatally injured.

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestib1e and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwhclesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.

The total estimated revenues for 1894

leaves an excess of estimated appro-

an excess in estimated re-

SILVER IN THE SENATE.
Mr.. Sherman Tries to Choke Off Debate
on the Subject.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 4.-The
expectation of an interesting discussion
on the silver question based upon Mr..
Morgau's resolution instructing the
Committee on Finance TO examine and
report upon certain phases OF the sub
iect, seemed to have no particularly at
tractiye power on the general public,
for the galleries had even less than the
usual number of spectators when the
session of the day began. There was a
fair attendance Of Senators.
Mr.. Morgan thereupon took the floor
to address the Senate, but yielded TO
Mr.. WolcOtt, who gave notice that he
would address the Senate on the silver
question on Wednesday next, and to Mr..
Galinger, who gave notice that he
would address the Senate very briefly
on Monday next on the joint resolution
for a commission TO select size for the
establishment of National Sanitarium
for pulmonary diseases. Mr.. Wilson
objected to any arrangement that would
interfere with bills on the calendar.
Mr.. Morgan informed him that he was
not proposing to speak under any ar
rangement, but under the rules Of the
Senate.
Mr.. Morgan criticised the silver act
OF $50, and Mr.. Sherman remarked that
there was not the slightest dodbt as TO
what was meant by the silver act Of
1890.
At2 o'clock the presiding officer (Mr.
Platt) laid before the Senate the un-
finished business, being the bill in rela-
tion TO courts OF appeals. But Mr.
Morgan was permitted to go on with
his address. In the course OF it he re
ferred TO Mr.. Cleveland aS having come
to the Presidency with a sort Of a Wall
street congeStive chill upon him, as
commencing TO prophesy and prophesy
evil: and as throwing the whole weight
of his administration against silver, be-
ginning with a letter which he ad-
dressed to members of Congress before
his Inauguration, in which he begged
them by all the saints in the calendar
to suppress and destroy silver coinage.
He brought up the charge that Mr..
sherman was responsible for the de-
monetization of silver in 1873, but Mr..
Sherman was probably not in the cham
ber at the time. AT all events he paid
no attention to this so often repeated
and so Gifted denied charge.
