SENATOR HILL AND SILVER.
A Long Interview With Him Is Printed in
the New York Sun.


the New York Sun.
New YORK, March Under Wash
ington date the Sun prints an interview
with Senator Hill on the silver question.
The senator was asked if the speeches in
the British house of commons Tuesday
last, altered any views expressed in his
recent speech in the senate ON the gold
and silver question.
''Not whit said he, SON the con-
trary, am sincerely obliged to Gladstone
for SO promptly confirming the sharpen
ing point of my argument for repeal of
the Sherman law. There is nothing new
in the attitude of the British government
or the expressions of Gladstone, but they
come fresh and convincing to back up the
demonstration of the utility of con-
ference, and the necessity of action by the
United States Our first act should be an
early and unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law, which blocks our return
TO free bimetallic coinage with futile sill
yer purchases and new green back in
fiation, both of which are scandal and a
shame.
There are domestic reasons for its re-
peal, as the all sufficient and steady e1-
portation of gold is teaching that lesson
daily. There are International reasons
for the repeal of the Sherman law too,
and Gladstone lights them up for us with
bengal. fire. say bengal fire, because
the repeal of the Sherman law by the
United States will make the gold and sill
yer question for Great Britain question
of the peace, If not the preservation of
her Indian empire.
'sLet the Sherman law be repealed, and
I doubt if Gladstone will need more than
one short month to ascertain whether the
British government can go on giving gold
in London free coinage into full
legal tender money. and giving silver
in Calcutta free coinage into legal tender
money without giving to the two free
coinages a legal correlation. Face to face
with repeal OF the Sherman law, it
should not take Gladstone, even in his
great age, one month to open negotia-
tions with the United States for renewal
of that free bimetallic coinage which
maintained for numberless years the sta
BILE purity of silver and gold, so that ten
silver ru PEGS were everywhere worth one
gold sovereign, gold francs worth no
more than silver francs and silver dollars
worth no less than gold dollars.'

CRITICINING A DECISION.
Governor Stone of Missouri. Gives Out
Lengthy Statement.

Lengthy Statement.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March 7.-Since
Friday last, when Judge Phillips of the
United States court, announced his de-
cision in the case of the st. Clair COM
pany. Judge Governor Stone has been
giving the points in the decision some
close attention, and he gave out today a
lengthy statement on the subject. He de-
MES that he is trying to defy the courts,
and then says: 81 presume the people of
the state could abolish the county courts
altogether if they saw proper to do so
without first asking leave of bond
holders or federal judges. Though
may be guilty OF melting treason in say
ing it the federal court is semi foreign to
the state, circuit judges are rarely citl-
zens OF state whose laws they set at de-
fance. The states have absolutely no
control over them, they have no special
concern or interest in state governments,
they hold life offices and draw salaries
from the federal government, they are in
measures separated from the state, they
belong in a peculiar sense 10 the
United States, The general government
is magnified and the state government
dWarfed in their thoughts. They are apt
to force their measures and purposes with
out much regard to the local interests or
reports of the States"
The governor thinks they had better
''Go back to the old rule which prevailed
in the better days OF the republic, when
the spirit as well as the letter OF the con-
stitution was observed, and when state
sovereig nty-sovereign within its proper
sphere-was something more than shall
low pretense or a knocking dream Do
that and those baleful and menacing con-
HictS in jurisdiction will disappear.

superb left hand which makes an almost
impenetrable barrier for an adversary to
get by. Hall is noted for his coolness-
In fact he is perfect iceberg in the ring
and to that he owes much OF his success.
His first battle of Importance was with
George White, middleweight, whom he
knocked out in nine rounds He then
conquered in short order Jack Mabry in
six rounds and Jack SlaTin. brother of
Paddy and Billy Slavin. IN SIX rounds.
He then defeated Jim Noleu, who out
weighed him by twenty-elght pounds, IN
eight rounds, and fought jim Polarity
fthe iaWbreaker), another heavyweight,
to a fifteen round draw. He tried to
knock out jim Burge, the Australian
tsIron man, - in ten rounds, but failed.
Next he battled Peuer Belamy for the mid
dleWeight championship Of Australia and
won in sixteen rounds.
Then comes the much disputed contest
with Bob Fitzsimmons, his present an
tagonist Jim says he whipped Bob in
three and a half rounds Bob on the
other hand claims that he laid down for
H15 or about SIS, enough to pay him for
his months wages as a blacksmith. Jim
also vehemently denies that Fitzsimmons
ever knocked him out in five rounds in a
private trial After this disgraceful
episode Hall defeated the following
men in the order nameds Herbert God
daTd tbrother OF Joe) twice IN Iour ROUNDS
each, Tut Ryan in five rounds, Dummy
Mace in five rounds, Starlight IN six
rounds, Dan Creedon in five rounds and
Pablo Pangue in four rounds.
The only defeat Hall sustained in Aus
tralia was at the hands of Owen Sullivan,
heavy weight, champion Of the Harrier'2
before his defeat by Joe Goddard Sulli-
van weighed 162 pounds and Hall but loo,
and naturally was compelled to succumb
in The eleventh round. Since his advent
in the United States Hall has given ath-
letic exhibitions, meeting all corners and
knocking them out with the greatest ease

Mr.. Martin of Kansas, although elected
by fusion votes, is considered a Demo-

Mr.. German to attend, and he was pres

Mr.. Allen, it is understood, will vote

and Mr.. Faulkner as secretary. The SEES
sion lasted four hours, the only actual
business transacted being to authorize the
chairman to appoint committee to de-
wise plan for reorganization and report
to the caucus upon call of the chairman.
Much time was consumed in discus
sion bearing upon the standing of the
senators appoint ted by governors, the
cases in point being Senator Beckwith,
appointed by the governor of Wyoming,
and Senator Mantle, appointed by the
governor OF Montana. A spirit Of oppose
ton against seating the appointees was
manifested, and in support of this view a

more especially William, marine in the
Royal Navy. Arthur, a groom, and
Jairet, blacksmith.
Bob migrated with his family to New
Zealand when small boy He took to
the horseshoeing trade and learned the
art of boxing from his brother Jairet.
His first appearance in the ring was at
Jem Mace's amateur boxing tournament
hold at Timara, New Zealand, in the fall
of 1880. Bob, although but lad Of
| eighteen knocked out four men on that
/ night, and won the amateur champion
ship of New Zealand The following
! year Mace gave another tournament and
| Bob succeeded in retaining the amateur
championship, knocking out i've men
this time.
/ After defeating the amateurs, Bob put
on the gloves with Herbert A Slade, the
Maori, who came over to America to tight
John L. Sullivan. To the surprise of
everybody Fitzsimmons succeeded in best
ing Slade All of these contests were
under Queensbury rules. FitZsimmons
then became a full-fiedged professional,
and fought and defeated in rapid success
sion, under prize ring rules, Arthur
Cooper in three rounds, Jim Crawford IN
three rounds and Jack Murphy IN four
rounds.
Bob then left New Zealand looking for
more worlds to conquer He took up at
I Sidney, Australia and Immediately started
to meet all Corners at the renowned Larry
| Foley's sporting emporium. First, he
defeated Jack Brinsmead, a heavy weight,
who tipped the beam at 40, Bob only
scaling AS pounds. Then in rapid order
he settled the pretensions Of the following
| middleweights to championship on
Foley's stage:
Jack Greentree in three rounds, D ick
Sandel in four rounds, Bill SIavin, brother
of Francis Patrick, in seven rounds and
Joe Eager in three rounds. He next laid
low Martin Conway champion of Ballarat
in three rounds. Dick Ellis, a heavy
weight, in three rounds. Then came the
famous battle with jim Hall, in which
| FitZsimmons s'Iaid DOWN. for the paItry
consideration of 815, or about $50. Hall
claims that Bob was whipped on the level
and many Australian spOrtsmen are in
cHned to this belief. Fitzsimnlons also
claims that he afterwards thrashed Hall in
private in five rounds, but that statement
also lacks verihcatiOn.
Bob redeemed himself by defeating
Starlight, the celebrated colored middle
weight of Australia in nine rounds and
! Professor West, a heavyweight, in one
round. He then came to the United
States and defeated in rapid succession
Billy Mccarthy, a fellow Australian be-
| fore the California Athletic club in nine
rounds, Arthur Upham before the Audu-
! bon club of New Orleans in five rounds,
the famous Jack Dempsey, for seven years
middleweight champion of America in

over Peter Maher, the ssIrish champion 5
whom he vanquished in twelve rounds.

Treasury situation.

Treasury situation.
WASHINGTON, March Secretary
Charles Foster said this evening the treas
ury was down to bedrock when he turned
it over to the new secretary today. MI.
Carlisle finds himself confronted with
the great responsibility of maintaining a
gold basis, and a man OF less ability
might find the task a very difficult one.
Probably before he has been two days in
Office he Will find it necessary to choose
between issuing bonds and trenching
upon the gold reserve The ex-secretary
said the department was now practically
to the gold reserve, there being less than
g, 00O, 600 of free gold. He did not regard
the situation alarming, however, as all
the excitement about gold shipments ap-
| peared to have subsidized. 1t wag, he said,
better condition than he expected to
find at this time and it did not look as
alarming as it did week or more ago.
When asked If he did not think that
bonds would have to be issued, he replied
that ''A1r Carlisle might instead of that
use some reserve. - He said that Carlisle
undoubtedly had the right TO use part
of the gold reserve if he needed to do SO.
! Besides the gold reserve, Mr.. Foster
said he would turn over to the new secre-
tary about S29, 0OO, 600 consisting of the
ndIlOnal DaQh reserve ana SUBSIDIARY
coins and the disbursingiofic GERS balances.
Against this are all outstanding drafts,
covering most of it but not liable to be
presented for payment at once.
Congress, he said, ''should have in
creased the whisky tax fifty cents, and
given US a chance to replenish our stock
of money" "The fact is,' he added
THAT the demand for gold is perfectly
regular, and not speculative 1t was the
! natural demand NJ fO-aiOO countries
needing gold, and the only thing artificial
or speculative in the situation was the
effort made to keep gold here. That of
course was to keep the market steady and
not meet business demands. However,
there is nearly $500. 600, 900 of gold IN the
country, the public mind is compare
lively easy, and have no doubt that Car

sltion to meet all demands for gold. -
