The MONETARY CONFERENCE.
WILL MEET AGAIN IN BUSHELS.
Probability that Mr.. Ci-vrlnnd VIII Send
Delegates to Attend.

Washington dispatch says:
The news that the President has decided to
reconvene the International monetary confer
ence at Brussels, on May 30, Is received with
appreciation by senators who have interested
themselves in the silver question. The i'm
preston prevails that the United States dele
cation Will not be materially changed in per-
sonnet, for the reason that the delegates, Ia
addition to possessing thorough mastery OF
the complex and abstruse questions Involved
in the objects OF the conference, have made
an acquaintance among the delegates from
other countries that may result in more
favorable reception for such proposals as they
put forw ard than would be the case among
strangers.
However this may be, at least one familiar
figure will be missed when the delegates re-
assemble, for Senator Allison, who discharged
The duties of president of the American dele
gait on, has been obliged from business con-
slderatIons to surrender the idea Of carrying
forward hi, work As a delegate. The senator
IS not an extremist, but is hopeful that some
definite agreement will be reached when the
conference re-assemhles. He uoes not base
the hops on Indications of any material
change in sentiment IN Europe, but believes
that the agitation OF the silver question at the
first session of the conference has awakened
popular interest ia the question in England
aud on the continent, as evidenced by the
elaborate discussions that have since taken
place and are st!ll In progress through the
medium of financial publications and In the
general press.
Touching the English demand that the
United States delegates come To the confer
ence prepared to submit definite PROPOSE
ton, Senator Allison says that he docs not
believe such course is feasible. The wishes
of the United States made apparent at
the iir-i session, and the European govern
ments know what we desire. Between that
and what may he attained there is q diiler
ence, AMI out OF such conditions issue com
promise 1t was too much to expect the con-
ference 10 agree upon free silver coinage
plan, and In Senator Allson's opinion, one
feasible basis OF agreement that really prom
lses 10 give effect to the purpose of the con
ference was the retirement of gold from coin
age below a certain value, and the natural
replacement of this retired coinage by silver,

The Denver fire department lost two men
In fire on the 9Th, but narrowly escaped
having half dozen others burned up.
An alarm of FIRE wits sent In At sis p, N.
and the hrcmen hurried To the palut-shop OF
K. Is, Chatteld on Fifteenth street near
Champa, where they found pile Of waste
burning. After thi. was put out they found
two fuses burning toward pile of poSdrr.
More posder Wa scattered about on the
floor on a space three feet square. In the
midst OF this were strcwn scraps of waste
saturated with oil, and thick coating Of oil
wa all over the floor for several feet around.
Direct above this nhammahle mess. on The
floor Into which the fuse led, wcrc seven bar
rcls Of oil and yArni,h OF various kind, rest
ing on beams few inehcs above the floor
The lids were pricd open and the faucets
were looseued so that the liquids dr!pped
rapidly to the floor. Waste was wrapped
loosely aboIt the faucets and hung nearly to
the floor. In the room. n few feet away, was
a tcn-gallon can OF turpentlnc with the IA

about In various places and oil spilled about
over the floor aud piled up material.
IL was a death-trap of the worst conceivable
kind, aud II had been arranged with care aud
calculation. Had .hc fuse been untouched
and had the spark reached the little pile o.

been Ha-h, leap OF fire upward TO those

DARING BANK ROBBERY.
The Bank at Caney. Kansas. Cleaned Out
by the Dalton Gang.

A bank robbery partaklng of TIE daring
shown at the famous CoIeyvillc affair last
October, in which several of the participants
lost their lives, was enacted at Cauey, Kansas.
Monday afternoon. The only thing missing
TO make It more closely resemble the robbery
in which the Daltons took part was that no.
body was hurt. The bandits got $1,000 and
have good start on their pursuer-. and per
haps Will never be captured Caney i a
small town close TO the Indian Territory
line.
At :l5 o'clock two men, who we're recog-
nizcd as the notorious Henry Starr, an es-
capped convict, and a man named Newcomb,
entered the bank unmasked, and leveiins
their weapons at the cashier and other en-
ployes-four in all-demanded all the money
on hand.
Without any ado the employees complied
apd before five minutes had elapsed from the
time the bandits entered the place they were
In possession OF all the banks cash-about
1900. Nobody but the banks employees
were In the place, and as none on the outside
had noticed anything Out OF the way in their
conduct the bandits had nothing especially 10
fear.
Coolly placing the money in bags With
which they had provided themselves, and
warning the bankers that they would meet
instant death should they attempt to make an
outcry, the men backed out of the bank.
Reaching the door which was on the main
street, and by which the usual number of
people were passing, the men hurried TO
their horses, which had been hitchcd in front,
and were soon on their way at a rapid rate to-
ward the Indian Territory.
They had nearly r half hours start before
posse could be organized to pursue them.
and it is doubtful II they are captured.

invited guests had assembled on the

was conveyed to them they settled them
selves under convenient shelter to wait
for the ceremonies to begin.
The crowds above on the river front
could not. of course, be notified Of the
change of plans, but all supposed that
some hitch had occurred and all settled
themselves as comfortable as possible to
await developments.
