BRITAIN AND BlMETALLISM.

LONDON. Feb. 2S.-In the commons to-
day Sir Henry Mersy-Thompson, Liberal
Unionist. moved that the British govern
ment should use its influence to bring
about reassembling of the international
monetary conference. with the object OF
finding a remedy for the evils attendant
upon the divergence of values between
gold and silver. He argued that mono
metallism was national misfortune, and
that fixed bimetallic ratio was the sole
remedy for the existing difficulties grow
ing out of the currency problem.
Other bimetallisis also addressed the
house in favor of the proposition.
Mr. Gladstone reminded the house that
the United States had taken the initiative
in calling together the monetary confer
euce, and that 1t would be an unprece-
dented proceeding now TO deprive
America of the initiative. In
the opinion of the government no
ptan yet proposed showed how it was
possible to change the standard of value in
Great Britain. L'Hearr "Heary'l l.
would place the government in ridicu-
lous position if il should assume the in
luStlve IN reopening the conference, hay-
ing nothing to recommend for discussion.
Mr.. Gladstone said that England was not
alone among civilized nations in her de-
termination to adhere to her present none
tary system.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, chan
ceIlcr Of the eXchequer, said that the Brit
ish delegates had been almost the only
ones to support the American resolutions
in favor OF extending the use of silver.
The failure of the conference had been due
TO the absence Of definite proposals Ii it
should reconvene and submit definite pro-
poSals the British government would be
happy 10 send back the delegates. but
could not be eNpec; ed 10 provide a scheme
for more extensive use of silver.
Mr.. TbompSon's motion WAS eventually
relected-229 to las.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2S.-A new traffic asso-
citation, to succeed the old Southeastern
and Mississippi Valley Freight Traffic as
sociation, and to take in the territory

A CONFLlcT OF AUTHORITY.

y NOINF LIZ Vt Az T1OFll
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 2S.-John II. Lucas.
attorney for the St. Clair county judges
imprisoned in the county Jail, sued out a
writ of habeas corpus this afternoon, re-
qurng them to be brought before Judge
Phillips of the United States circuit court
in Chambers, for the reason that they are
wrongfully, unjustly and illegally detain-
ed in prison.
The petition praying for the writ goes
into the details of the case, and recites
how st. Clair county voted bonds twenty
five years ago for railroad that was never
built; how the bonds fell into the Ninth
National bank of New York. an innocent
purchaser; how the supreme court of the
United States, declared that the bonds
must be paid; how Judge Phillips of the
United States district court ordered the
county judges to make a special tax levy
to pay the bonds; how the judges declined
to obey the order, and how Judge Phillips
had them imprisoned for contempt. The
petition says, also, thatThe county court
was powerless to comply with'the order to
make the tax levy, because it would be
disobeying the statutes of Missouri in SO
doing
Right here comes in the conflict between
the state and federal statutes spoken of by
Governor Stone in his message to the leg
islatuIe few days ago. The statutes of
Missouri provide that, to make a tax levy
of the kind asked for, the county attorney
must ask the state circuit court to make
an order to the county court, commanding
it to make such levy. The petitioner con-
tends that this never has been done, and
that, as the county court is powerless to
make the levy without it, Judge Phillips
order cannot be obeyed. 1t is the county
attorney and the circuit court who are to
blame, and who should be imprisoned, if
any one, says the petitioner.
Judge Phillips granted a writ, return
able ou Thursday

mEORMERIY OE KANSAS


GUTHRIE. O. T, Feb. 2S.-In the make
up of the council Kansas has contributed
most bountifully. OF the thirteen mem
bers making up that body, probably half
a dozen have at one time or another owed
allegiance TO that state, and as often as an
opportunity offers they chant the praises
| of Kansas laws. The several Missouri
members are good second in this pleasing
business of fond reminisence. No sooner
| has Mr.. Fegan or Mr.. Mccartney called
the attention of the senatorial body to the
eternal fitness OF some particular Kansas
statute than Mr.. Clevinger or Mr.. Pulliam,
with q state loyalty that is charming,
rises and in tunetul strains tells the as
sembly how wisely the solons of Missouri
have met and settled the several points
under discussion. Mr.. Ross occasionally
touches on the methods of Arkansas, and
Mr.. Lane often puts In a good word Tor
Texas. Mr.. Pitman sometimes chips IN
for Illinois, while many other good states
are entirely without their sacred poet.
Messrs. Wrightsman and Shatfer have
never told their state love. but "Iet con-
cealments like a worm i the bud, feed on
their damask cheeks"
During the session of the preceding leg
islature several fond sons of Iowa and Wis
consin frequently rehearsed the praises of
those great states. They had no doubt
that all the wisdom of the ''cycled times"
was embodied in their laws. Now, alas,
their praises are unsung, while Kansas
and Missouri with little opposition on the
part of other states, contend for the palm.
AS between these two, the issue hangs
doubtful in the balance from day to day.
When victory seems about to perch on the
standard of Kansas, Messrs. Clevinger and
Pulliam charge the foe SO furiously as TO
range favoring chances on Missouri's side.
And thus the contest alternates. and will
probably continue so to do for just nine
days more, when the congressional fiat
will close the session, and the great flood
tide of the busy worlds ways, sweeping
over the scene of today's contention, will
obliterate all marks and signs of the fierce
conflict

ARBITRATION OF The SWORD.

BERLIN, Feb 2s-The question of inter
| national arbitration came up before the
reichstag today. through question asked
by Dr. Barth, leader of the Freisinnige
party.
Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader suggest
ed that the future nationality of Alsace-
Lorraine should be submitted to interna-
tionai arbitration.
This suggestion brought Chancellor Won
Capriv to his feet. The chancellor declar-
ed that if that question were submitted to
arbitration and the arbitrators decided
that Germany should surrender Alsace-
Lorraine, the nation would not acquiesce
in the decision. Rather than give up that
country the Germans would prefer TO shed
the last drop of their blood.
This statement was greeted with patri-
otic cheers.

North Galveston Brick company is a
pretty big concern. The machines, build

some OF the best plants in the country.
