TRANSMITTED TO THE SENATE.

Formal Heport oi the American Delegates
to the ter alto al NO ,etary Co fer
e"Cc.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The president
has sent TO the senate the report of the
American delegates 10 the international
monetary conference held at Brussels,
beginning November ~, 1892, accom-
panied by II translation OF the proceed
ings and an appendix consisting of a
series of documents relating To the
monetary laws and monetary situation
Of the various countries.
After referring To the programme of
the United States, which was discussed
in all its phases, the delegates refer to
the report of the committee of twelve
which reported aiiirmatively upon the
one proposition that IL was wise
TO withdraw from monetary circu-
lntion all the gold coins and
nll paper money rcdcemable in
gold of n less denomination than 81,
20 francs or 20 marks, and substitute
silver money for them. In the dis.
cussion of the various propositions the
attitude Of nearly all the governments
was disclosed. The recognition was
general in the conference of monetary
evil requiring remedy.
After citing copiously from speeches
made, the text Of the recess resolution
Is given. From these proceedings, the
delegates say, 1t will be seen that the
conference is to be recouvened on the
3Oth of May, 1898 In the meantime. IL
is expected that the propositions and
plans already submitted, aud such
Others as may be submitted TO the presi.
dent of the convention and by him
transmitted TO the several governments
through their delegates will be con.
sidered. 1t is anticipated that the dele
gates upon the reassembling OF the con.
ference will be able TO state definitely
the views of their respective govern
ments Us TO what plans are practicable
TO secure the greater use of silver as a
part Of the metallic money of the
world
In concluding their report the dele
gates say they are glad TO bear testi-
mony TO the earnest wish OF the confer
ence that II plan for the enlarged use
of silver as money, acceptable TO the
nations and adequate TO the monetary
situation, may result from its delibera-
tons. No recommendations or sugges-
tions of any kind are made
The report Is signed by w. b. Allison,
chairman; John z. Jones, James b. Nc

The Oglethorpe and Street Car Line at
Brunswick bld in by the Bondholders
BRUNSWICK, GA, April 4.-Much inter-
est was manifested in the sale Of the Ogle-
thorpe hotel and the street car line and St.
Simons car line and boats, which took
place under foreclosure proceedings to-day
Representatives of the bondholders of these
different properties were present, but from
the fact that the ropertle1 we're SOLD IlttIe
above the liens and expenses ahead OF the
mortgage bonds tits inferred that the pur-
chase was really made by the bondholdcrs,
and color is lent to this by the fact that free
quent meetings between the representatives
of the bondholders and the attorneys
have taken place and the unanlmity at the
sale and the practical lack of bidding con-
firms this belief. The Uglethorpe sold for
$25, 900, upon which there is $4,000 Of first
mortgage bonds. The street car lines and
boats, which cost in the neighborhood OF
$3.50 900, sold at $4,000, which was the
amount Of cash required to be deposited to
pay the liens by the decree. Judge Cro7att,
Of the firm of CrovatJ q Whitfield, attor-
neys for the bondholders, bid in these prop
critics, and from the satisfied air Of the diff
ferent attorneys and parties attending the
sale il was evident that a satistact ry under
standing ell around had been reached.
ned with the bondholders to reorganize
these properties. and Col. w. E. Kay,
prominent attorney of this place, who is
arranging plan Of reorganization for the
security holders of the st. Simoa's hotel
property, was present, evidently well
satisfied at the turn Of affairs, and
he states that the plan OF reorganization
will be commenced within few days and
will include the car line on st. Simon's and
friendly cooperation with the st. Simon's
line of steamboats,, both Of which were in
oluded in the sale to-day, and an opportunity
will be given the people of Georgia to be-
come interested in these valuable properties
and share in the pleasure and profits of that
splendid resort.
The reorganization of these properties
will have a most beneficial effect upon
Brunswick and their ownership by people
living in and interested here will probably
result in the changing Of the surface car
lines from mule to electric power, aud It is
not unlikely that the splendid Oylethorpe
hotel will be kept open permanently.

The Brotherhood Of Engineers to
Make No New Move at Present.
TOLEDO, o., April flames Lennon, the
Lake Shore engineer who was found guilty
OF contempt of court according to Judge
Kicks decision, has, in obedience to the in
structions of his attorneys, refused to pay
his fine and has been formally arrested, and
is in the custody of the court. HIS attor-
neys will appeal the case to the supreme
court OF the United States for a writ of
habeas corpus aud it will come up at Wash
ington as BOON as posi- bic. The Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers will fight
the matter to the bitter end and will
Tot spare any expense. They realize that
the final decision is of vital Importance to
their organization. The attorneys and
officials think there will be no more trouble
by the men until after the whole matter
has final hearing. General Manager II.
w. Ashley Of the Toledo, Ann Arbor and
North Michigan road says the suit is not a
matter between the Ann Arbor and its men,
or the Lake Shore and its employees now,
but question between the men and the
United States, and it will be fought out on
that line as long as the issue has been made
1t will do then: no good to fight the rail-
road now. Mr., Ashley incidentally stated
that the Ann Arbor road, under the non
union men, for the past week had been
handling 80 per cent. more cars
than ever before handled in the history Of
the road. He is well satisfied with the
change. In regard to the case of Chief Ar
thur, Frank Hurd, onei of his attorneys,
says that it will be appealed to the circuit
court of appeals, which meets at Cincinnati.
The appeal will be made within thirty days
and the case will be heard within the next
sixty days

ATLANTA, GA, April 4.-E. D. Nc
Candies, cashier of the Gate City National
Bank, is out in another card this afternoon
demanding the fullest investigation of the
banks affairs and denouncing the party
who may have given information to Mr. d.
Rosenfeld, whose dispatch to a Macon paper
last week first aroused Mr.. McCandless'
anger. Editor Moore of the Macon NelCS.
1t appears, wrote Mr.. McCandless stating
that Mr.. Rosenfeld had secured his iuforma-
ton from federal officials who knew that it
was for publication. This statement turned
Mr.. McCandless' attention to the fed
eral officials and to-day he, with
John Ryan, his warm friend, spent
a good deal of time in trying to find ex-
District Attorney Darnell, who is held
responsible for giving Rosenfeld his STORY"
MI Darnell was not TO be found, however.
and any trouble that might have resulted
from such meeting is averted for the pres
ent at least. In his card this afternoon,
Cashier McCandless, referring TO Editor
Moore's letter, says: ''In view Of the above
statement, in which no PERSONS name at the
United States court who gave the iuforma-
tion is mentioned by RosenfeId, it is impos-
sible for me to locate the author OF the

truth about it or not remains with the pub

MOBILE AND oa1o,s MIDDLE.
a Decision Rendered by the Supreme
Court OF alabama.

Court or p laOama.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 4.-The
supreme court of Alabama, through JUS
tice Coleman, to-day rendered its opinion
upon various controversies involved in the
contest for control of the Mobile and Ohio
railroad. The court decides, first, that there
is not anything in the agreement Of 1876
and 1879 which is in contra
vention of public policy, and that
these various documents we're executed
for valid purpose and therefore are bind
ing upon the parties. Second, as to the
agreement and ge1eral mortgage Of 1883.
wherein it is provided that debentures issued
under the provisions Of the agreement Of
1852 shall be exchanged for per cent.
bonds and the debentures thus exchanged
shall remain with the trustee OF the
general mortgage of 1888 alive with
all of their rights uuimpaired,
the court determines that these various
transactions are valid and that the fact that
the debentures were exchanged for per
cent. 5ouds did not pay or satisfy the de-
bentures, but they remained alive and with
all of their rights unimpaired as security
for the per cent boLduolders.
Third, the court further determines that
the transaction of 1883 did not materially
vary the agreements of 1919 aud 1879.
Fourth, the court also determines that
the stockholders no entered INTO the agrees
ment OF 1876 to prevent the Mobile aud
Ohio railway from being sold under decree
of foreclosure, did SO as principals and not
as sureties. In other words, the relation
ship of surety did not exist between the as
senting stockholders, the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad Company and the debenture
holders.

in this case in view of the facts which APP

pections with the train at Townsville.
From that point he telegraphed asking il he
oculd be used tonight, but no place could be
found on the programme for him. IL is
one of the laws of Chautauqua that when
one of its speakers misses his hour, he is not
further considered in the programme. In
the place of Mr.. Hartridge,
Rev, Edward Anderson of DON
aldson. Conn, was substituted, ana
delivered a grand lecture on Pluck" He
illustrated MS subject very forcibiv, for
while he was speaking a severe rain and
wind storm came up and the great tent
fIapped and swayed to such an extent that
a large portion of the audience left it to
take refuge in the court house. The orator,
however, stood bis ground and continued
speaking amid all the noise and tumut
which the storm eEgeudered. and was re-
warded by being allowed to conclude in the
midst of sunshine. His lecture captivated
every one who heard it.
A large audience greeted Prof. Merrill

University, this afternoon and were re-
warded with perfect feast OF humor and
pathos.

The phenomenal success of the Chau-
tauqua so far has surpassed all expectations
and when the present assembly is ended it

that the Chautauqua is doing alvsst work
