ALLISON TALKS ON SILVER
HG Thinks that Europe will Stand An
other Conference.
SORE HEADS IN THE SENATE
Parity Between the Metals May Be Uiti-
mateIy Established by Some Definite
Action OF the United States.
Associated Press.


Washington, Sept 16.-When the re-
peal bill was taken up, voorhees, asked
the unanimous consent for the general
debate to close on the 25th inst The
amendment Will be debated until the
9th under the five minute rule. Tell
er objected, Allison, republican, adj
dressed the senate on the bill.
This morning Senator Voorhees, again
sought to obtain from the opponents of
repeal some information as to when
vote could be had on the repeal bill.
This effort elected no more information
than did the former one, although Sem
ator Teller said later that their opin-
ion on the subject would be given. AS
Allison was desirous of proceeding with
his speech no discussion was reached,
but another effort will rr1bably be
made early next week. If unsuccessful
Mr. Voorhees, will then ask that a
night session be held. Pfeffer offered u
resolution which went over, instruct
ing the committee on interstate COM
merce to inquire whether any, and If
So what legislation was necessary to
prevent the interruption of the inter-
state railway traffic by lawless per-
sons and to punish the persons guilty
of robbery and murder committed on
interstate railway trains. The resolu-
tion was offered by Manderson, repub-
lican, of Nebraska, calling for inforna-
tion whether the land offices in Nebras-
ka had been abolished or consolidated,
was taken up. After an amendment
so as to include all land offices, the res
olution was agreed to.
In his speech Allison said the United
States could not continue to purchase
silver without seriously endangering
the standard established in 1873, and
bringing the nation to silver stand
ard. The Brussels had made more
progress respecting the solution of the
silver question than had been made
at all prior conferences. If the United
States would undertake the policy Of
restoring silver by international ar
rangement, 1t would be accomplished
within a reasonable time. The parity
between the two metals would be res
tered, and silver would practically be
rehabilitated That was the solution
of the question
George, Of Mississippi, asked whether
there was any sentiment in Europe in
favor of the reassembllng OF the mon
etary conference. Allison had no doubt
that the public opinion of Europe was
that conference of nations should be
assembled to deal with the question,
and in that statement he did not ex-
clude England He believed If patience
were exercised; IL the question were
dealt with in statesmanlilxe way; II
the senator's would dismiss from their
minds prejudloes and party leanings
and deal with the problem as great
question involving the whole country,
its integrity and its interests, the time
would soon come when silver and gold
would travel side by side.
After speeches In eulogy OF Mr.. Stan
ford made by Senators White. DoIph,
PETER, Mitchell Daniel, Ewart and
Perkins, the senate adjourned.

THE RIeHT TO HE ROAD.

Like dreams the changing years have fed
Into the realm of the silent dead
Since seventeen seventy-five, and June
Made bridal dance to the rivers tune
And then, as now, on the worlds broad face
The loveliest green clad, leaf crowned space
Was the old West road to the ferrying place.
Here Jonathan Parsons, man of peace,
On a cart heaped high with the earth's in
crease,
Through woodland sweet with the Towering
thorn,
Came riding up from his fields of corn.
General Washington's coach of state,
Bound for Cambridge, had reached the lane
In it the general, grave, sedate,
Sat planning the course of great campaign,
For terrible struggle possessed the land,
And the fate of a nation was in his hand!
Riding before came horsemen twain;
If the truth be told they were young and vain;
They reached at length, in the narrow road,
The farmer, perched on his fragrant load.
Lazy bones, haste! You are all too slow;
how can we pass, we should like to know?
General Washington rides this wayl
Turn out, turn out for the coach!" cried they
But Parsons doubted the courier's word,
The soldier hero?-'twas quite absurd
He was still in congress the last he heardl
He turned - looked back through the vista
green;
No sign of the uncrowned king was seen.
These were playful youths, it was very plainl
He would meet their sport with a calm disdain
And his right to the road to the end maintain,
A droll procession in truth they made
That suramer day in the green arched gladel
A frowsy colt was the first in view.
Vanguard of the rustic's retinuel
A white mare next, then oxen four
c'Five cattle team" the name it boreG
Then the peasant prince, who a crown would
scorn,
High on his throne of fresh cut corn;
The batfied horsemen behind him came,
And last of all rode the one whose name
Was yet to conquer the pride of kings,
Whose truth and courage the world yet singsl
Still unmindful of rank so near,
Parsons the order refused to hear,
When, nearing the ferry where all must wait
Make way, make way for the coach of statew
Again they cried in a stern command;
He plodded on till, whip in hand,
He calmly got down at the rivers brink
To let the mare and the oxen drink
He turned-and then, for the first time saw
The strong right arm of the colonies lawl
freeman true, he had dared to stand,
And the right to the kings highway demand
In the face of the greatest in all the landl
He speechless stood, and his brown face paled,
While the scouts to their chief the affair de-
tailed.
"He was right" was Washington's wise reply;
Hes as good right to the road as II"

but the. slim hand that smoothed it
carefully betrayed its roots scanned by
the red track of recent bullet. The
features below were clear cut and high
bred, though deeply tanned from expo
sure.
The newcomer saluted, as the gen.
eral asked, quickly:
'Do you know any Fauntleroys here
abouts, sire"
The guide raised his eyes, meeting
full the mingled surprise, contempt and
hatred shot into them by the blazing
glance of Carolyn Clay. And even her
best-trained tact lost itself in the cry:
"Peyton Fitzhugh!'
The mans tanned face grew almost
purple in it's flush, and his eyes fell be-
fore hers; but, equally surprised as her
self, he exclaimed:
Carolyn Clay!"
If ever human face spoke plain words,
that of Evan Fauntleroy cried to the
silence now filling that tent:
''Oh, Lord! it's all QUIT"
But his cousins face was dark with
wrath that swept before it thought,
prudence-all save the deep contempt
quivering in each word of her retort:
''To her own people, yes! Miss Clay
to the branded traitor Peyton Fitz-
hughy'
Rapidly the generals glance moved
from man to woman, resting sternly on
the guides face as he said:
What does all this mean? Explain,
SIR"

Sleicht of Hand Poisoning.

A very curious item in Genealogical
lore CHANGED to light upon may be
called the feat of poisoning by sleight of
hand. You were jealous of lady and
you wished to kill her. Well, you asked
her to lunch, and you caused very nice
peach to be served at dessert. You cut
the fruit with golden knife, one side
of the blade of which was endued with
deadly poison. You presented the
poisoned half of the peach to the lady,
who ate it with much relish and then
dropped down dead.
The wholesome half you ate yourself,
and laughed in your sleeve, and went
on slicing more peaches for the ladies of
whom you were jealous-till you were
found out and broken on thewheel. Ave,
there's the rub! What high old times
we might have, to be sure, but for that
plaguey contingency of being found out.

governments theories OF war; out lUs
articles protect this youth and release
me-"
The generals eyes again inventoried
the speaker with curiosity that had
some admiration mixed with it, but he
answered, calmly:
"Um! you seem familiar with the
articles of war. Did you study them at
your aunt's, or-in camp? What is your
name?"
Carrie Fauntleroy-my first cousin,
SIR" Evan broke in, quickly, his eye
catching the papers on the table, before
the girl could reply.
SIS that true?"
The federal general questioned the
man, but his gaze never left the face of
the woman turned defiantly upon him,
now suffused with glow of anger that
never deepened under his scrutiny.
"My cousin is Virginian, sir" she
answered for him, as he had done for
her. "We are never ashamed of our
Names"
A quick glance sent her Evans thanks
that she had caught his meaning-that
her own name was too well known
new peril. Whether the general caught
that glance or not, he seemed inn
pressed by it's reflection in her eyes,
from which his own had never swerved;
for, after brief pause, he asked, sud-
denly:
"At what point, miss, did you hope to
reach the river?"
If he expected start or flush for an
answer, it was in vain. Carolyn Clay
had been in close places before, if not SO
perilous as this; and she answered, as
calmly and naturally as though declin-
ing an ice:
''My aunt lives inland, sir; not on the
river"
A half smile he could not repress
leaders lips, quickly replaced by their
habitual sternness, as he retorted:
st is a strange hour and strange
company for you to be found in, miss.
No, am not doubling your statement"
stopping her intent to speak by a
gesture-"but shall ask proof for it.
Major, question the guard who brought
them in for point of capture and all de.
tails. Send the guide to me, sir"
As the major hustled out of the tent,
Miss Clay said, rather anxiously:
81 can give you all the details now,
sir. The troopers will prove my state
ment."
"Um! doubtless" the general an.
swered, slowly. Twill they also dis
close to me what was in"-he turned on
Evan like fash-''that paper you swal-
lowed?"
Fine cut, SIR" the boy answered,
quickly but meekly; and even the grav-
ity of his peril could not restrain the
twinkle in his eye as he grimaced with
affected nausea.
A challenge without, a low reply,
and the orderly stood in the entrance,
saluting:
"The guide, SIR"
"Send him in at once"
A tall figure, wrapped in long cloak,
that showed beneath it only muddy
riding boots, entered the tent. The
plain felt hat he removed showed fine
black hair on his broad white forehead;

A NEW FOE WITH AN OLD FACE.

E A NEW FOE WITH AN OLD FACE
A slight, almost boyish figure, passing
to and fro with restless, tigerish move
ment, cut the red CLEAN of the smolder-
ing campfire with frequent shadow, as
the two prisoners and their escort rode
up to the bivouac on the river bank.
Challenge, reply and report quickly
made, the provost-marshal asked numer-
GUS questions of the captive pair, get
ting but scant information in return.
Then he moved forward to the restless
PAGER by the fire, halted, and, saluting,
said:
Maj. Conyer's scout sends in two
prisoners, general Would you care to
question them, or"
"Send them to the rear, sir" brusque-
ly replied the officer addressed, passing
into gloom.
Zone of them is woman, sir"
The returning shadow promptly
halted, raised pair of keen blue eyes
to the others face, shook the snow out
of the long brown curls escaping be-
meath his plumed felt hat and resting
on his collar, as he asked, crisply-
Camp woman, or spy?"
Certainly not an ordinary camp

Supposed" Search them, sir!" And
the young general, with a scarcely sup
pressed oath, locked his hands behind
him, stood with back to the fire, wholly
careless of the fast falling snow, and
watched his officers retreating form as
he approached the pair.
Fauntleroy had been lifted from his
cramped perch behind Doyle's saddle,
and Miss Clay, dismounting, had an.

his hurt.
