last night by DR.. Won Boettcher. secretary
OF the imperial home office and represent
alive of the chancellor. His majesty led
the conversation which was devoted 10
the absorbing topic in political circles
the formation Of great agrarian party.
Chancellor Won Caprivi was the only
minister not present. The emperor offer
ing toast to the absent chancellor alluded
to him in such terms as inspired the con-
vlction that Caprlvi will only be driven
from Office when the emperor is forced to
succumb before overwhelming defeat of
the imperial policy.
The Agrarian coalition, while not al
fect1ng the emperor, practically demands
radical change in the imperial policy.
Plots tend to one denouement, the over
throw OF Won Caprivi and return to BIZ
metailism. The leaders of the coalition
already feel powerful enough to declare
that nothing short of reversal of the
whole policy of the government will con-
tent them. As the emperor cannot be ex-
pected 10 assent to the demands, the party
aims at the dissolution OF the reichstag
at the earliest possible moment.
Formidable IN itself the coalition is
further fortified by union with the anti
semiUics The emperor is following the
movement with close attention. Prince
Bismarck is in closest touch with the
agrarian leaders. He responded to ex-
pressiOns of devotion sent him from a

TREASURY BALANCEs

Secretary Foster Gives Information to the
Ways and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-secretary of
the Treasury Foster was before the Ways
and Means Committee of the House this
morning explaining the condition of the
treasury. He said there was no occasion
to fear bankrupt treasury, but admitted
that the situation demanded serious con-
sideration. He believed the available cash
in the treasury at the close of the fiscal
year would be only ST., 700, 600, instead of
$50, 900, 900, as he estimated in his report,
because he had not taken into considera-
tion the payment of the Choctaw claim of
g, 100000.
On the present basis of revenue he esti-
mated that there would be deficit in the
treasury at the end of the fiscal year of
1894. He believed $50, 900, 900 more reve-
nue. should be raised, but did not say
whether by taxation or by the issue of
bonds. He also thought the gold reserve
should be raised to $125, 600, 600.

Silver Men in the House Begin Fight
for the White Metal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The fight which
next week may prove to be serious one
was inaugurated in the House today. 1t
was over the sundry civil appropriation
bill which contains the Sherman bond
amendment. There are in all 207 amend
ments to the bill. Mr.. Holman desired
that all, except the Sherman amendment,
upon which there is to be debate, be nom
concurred in.
Mr.. Bland, after stating that he was op-
posed to the Sherman amendment. OBJ
jected unless it was agreed that the
amendment should be, after debate, also
non-concurred in. This suggestion of
Mr.. BANDS raised the antagonism of Mr..
Cochran and no agreement was arrived at.
The silver men then resorted TO filibust-
ering tactics which were effectual and
after the speech of Mr.. Bland the bill
went over without action.
After some further debate the commit
tee rose and public business having been
suspended the House proceeded to pay a
tribute of respect to the memory of the
late Senator Barbour of Virginia and then

A Denial That Any Combination Has
Been Formed.
BOSTON, Feb. 25.-Thomas E. Proctor,
who was given as the head OF the reported
big sole leather combination, said today
if such combine is in contemplation he
had no knowledge of the matter. "The
story he said, probably sprang from
the simple fact that few New York and
Boston leather men met with the purpose
of talking over the advisability of greater
unity of action among the trade in regard
to tanneries and similar matters, but
whether or not anything is to come OF it
in the shape of combination or control,

vestibuIed train No. 8, was wrecked one
mile east of Vandalia at 1912 tonight and

though no one was killed. The train was

the Allegheny river when the Pullman
dining and sleeping cars jumped the
track and were thrown down a twenty
foot bank. 1t is remarkable that no one
was killed. The wreck was caused by
the spreading of the rails. It is thought
that all those injured will recover. The

MACKAY is BETTER.
His Physician Says He Is Practically In
No Danger.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.-Nothing of
any consequence developed today in the
condition of John ". Mackay. Rippey,
the assassin, was conscious today, but too
feeble to talk In response to questions
he would only move his head languidly
from side to side and murmur some unin-
tell1gible expression. 1t hardly seems
possible that Rippey can survive his self
inflicted wound. He may linger another
day or he may live for fortyeight hours.
On the other hand Mackay is thought
by his attending physician, DR.. Keeney,
to be in practically no danger at all. The
doctor paid several visits to Mr.. Mackay
today and dressed the wound. 81 found, "
he said, 'tthat Mr.. Mackay slept as well
as could have been expected. The wound
looks very healthy, and there is no fever
of consequence. MIR. Mackay complains
OF considerable soreness, but that of
