BEAR HUNTING N rHg ROCKIES.


- IL Rather SLOW work Now Because
the Animals Are So Cautious
Bear hunting. as a rule. do not think
would appeal to most sportsmen It is
rather slow work. and one il often very
tnadequately rewarded for the amount
of time and trouble spent in hunting up
bruin. There is hardly portion OF the
mountains where there are not evidences
OF bear. but do not believe that In any
locality they are especially abundant
They have been hunted and trapped so
long that those who survive are extreme
iy cautious In my experience there is
no animal gifted with greater amount
OF Intelligence. and, in this region. the
hunters chief virtue, patience to wait
and stay In one spot, is sure to be ~
warded sooner or later with good shot.
Let me say now that the danger and
ferocity of the bear is, think, very much
overstated. yet there is just enough ele
ment Of danger to make the pursuit OF
this animal exciting Naturalists do not
now apparently recognize more than two
varieties OF bear in the Rocky mountaina
That is. they class the cinnamon, silver.
tip and grizzly. as grizzly bear. The
other variety. Of course. is the black
bear. J am by no means sure that the
grizzly bear will not be further subdi-
vided after careful comparisons Of col
lections Of skulls
Much has been said and written about
the size and weight Of the grizzly bear.
and in most instances this has been mere
guess work Lewis and Clark made fire.
quent mention Of this animal and yet
their estimate of the weight falls far
below that Of other writers. Only few
instances have come to my knowledge
where the weight has been ascertained
absolutely.

COLDS UNCERTAIN VALUE.

That the "fathers of the Republic"
knew well what they were doing when
they made silver, as well as gold, the
monetary metal of this country is
amply proven by the subsequent
financial history of the land. True it
is that the claim is now made that sill
yer, owing to its rapid fluctuations
and changeable values, is no longer of
use as a monetary standard, while
gold, it is also claimed, should become
the sole metallic standard because Of
its fixed value and sterling qualities.
While this is true of today the very re-
verse of the proposition is true of 9TH
er years, when from 1862 to 1878 the
fuctuation In gold values was greater
than it has ever been of silver. Nor
did this state of things cease until the
continued unfriendly legislation
against the white metal had succeeded
in destroying to great extent, its justly
deserved appreciation in the markets
of the world. For the benefit of those
persons who have fallen into the pop
ular error of believing that gold never
fluctuates, and that for its own fixed
and immovable quality it has no fel-
low among the monetary metals Of
the earth, we submit herewith the
following carefully prepared table
which gives the lowest and highest
prices of this metal each year for II
years, showing the highest and lowest
valuations for each year;

A MONETARY COMMISSION.

Representative McCreary, of Ken
lucky, a member Of the Brussels mon
etary conference, gave recent express
sion to the following personal and
rather unique views on the deeply
mooted silver question:
"I am in favor of repeating the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act and
recognizing silver by authorizing the
Secretary Of the Treasury, with The
approval Of the President, to coin each
month into silver dollars 100000
ounces of the silver now in the treasu-
ry. There are about $120,000,000 in
silver bullion in the treasury. am
also in favor of monetary commits
sion to be composed of persons who
have studied monetary questions close
ly and thoroughly. The commission
should consist of three senator's, to be
appointed by the president Of the sem
ate; three representatives, appointed
by the speaker of the house, and three
experts, selected by the President,
with authority to determine the place
OF meeting and the time, and to take
evidence in Washington or any other
city in the United States before the
whole committee or subcommittee,
and to inquire into such report.
n. On the change which has taken
place in the relative value of gold and
silver and whether the change was
due to the depreciation of silver or
the appreciation Of gold, the cause Of

rary, the effects thereof upon finance

and other interests of the country, and
upon the standard of value in this and
other countries.

the double standard in the United
States, and what should bo tho legal

FROM THE OTHER SIDE.
Anti-silver Men Submit A PROPOSE
ton For Congressional Action.

A proposition has just been formu-
lated by the Anti-Silyer Committee, in
the national congress, which 1t is be-
lieved will be acceptable to the free
coinage committee, and at a meeting
today the conference will request the
committee on rules to report an or
der to the House covering the arrange
ment. 1t is that the House proceed
to the discussion of the bill providing
for the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law; that an opportu-
nifty be given to offer an amendment
providing for the free coinage of silver
at ratio to beagreed on by the silver
men, if that is possible; if not, then a
vote be taken upon the different ratios
proposed. If free coinage at any ra-
ito be rejected, an amendment may be
offered similar TO the Bland bill Of
1878, limiting the purchase of bullion
and the amount of coinage. This fall
ing, a vote is to be taken upon the bill
as introduced for unconditional repeal
the discussion to last two weeks with
the privilege to any member who fails
to get hearing of printing his re-
marks in the Record.
1t will be observed that in this prop
sition the first vote to be taken will be
upon free coinage, and the last upon
the unconditional repeal of the pur-
chasing clause. The anti-silver men
surrendered their demand that the
first vote be taken On the uncondition-
al repeal and if the silver men accept
the proposition they will abandon the
demand that their caucus bill must be
the basis of action.
The situation was generally simpli-
fed by the action Of a conference held
at the residence of Secretary Carlisle
at which nearly forty gentlemen, in
Guiding tho leaders of the anti-silver-
ties, were present. A general discus
sion Of the proposition submitted by
the anti-silver committee was had and
the secretary agreed to take the af-
frmative on every proposition. The
conference lasted two hours aud at its
conclusion those in attendance con-
graduated themselves that the action
taken was the best under the circum-
stances.
A proposition will be made to the
silver men today to close the debate
in ten days in the vote on the differ
ent propositions regarding free coin-
age, the different ratios and uncondi-
tional repeal.
Cochran and the other anti-silver
leaders expressed themselves hopeful
that this plan would be agreed to.
While 1t cannot be positively stated,
it is more than probable that the bill
will be introduced In the house today,
at any rate not later than Monday.
