but Mr.. Bryan will elucidate his views
from a more central portion. Mr..
Breckenridge (Ky.), took a seat well
hack 10 the right. Hardly had he set
tied himself when q page bearing an
enormous floral tribute proceeded to
place it upon his desk, much to Mr..
Breckenridge's evident annoyance.
The motion of his hand warning the
page away was noticed by some OF his
colleagues and their laughter soon
spread throughout the House as the
mem bers came to realize the situation.
But the flowers did not remain upon the
desk.
Mr.. Bingham and Mr.. Wadworth
will be Dext-door neighbors In the front
row. Mr.. Burrows, though his name
was far down on the list Of the favorites
of fortune, was lucky enough to find
desirable seat, which had been over
looked, and will flank Mr. Dolliver on
the right in the front row.
Messrs. McCreary, McMillin, Hit and
Henderson (IIlinois), and Hendricks
secured choice positions. Mr.. Cochran
had an opportunity to choose point OF
vantage, but be contented himself with
a rather remote seat
When Mr.. Culoerson's name was
called, his colleague, Mr.. Bailey,
courteously offered his old seat and
selected another himself.
The New York Democrats were sim
guarly unfortunate Mr.. Cummings,
Covert, Sickes and Fellows were COM
PEELED to take their positions in the

THIS LOOKS DECIDEDLY BAD.
Charley Fosters Creditors say Things
That sound Unpleasant.


FosToBIA, o., August Fifteen
hundred creditors OF Foster a. Co., and
Mr.. Foster will receive the following
circular in to.morrow's mail.
q Enclosed in the circular Is a blank
agreement authorizing the committee
already appointed TO act as their agent,
and a ballot for or against the removal
OF Assignee Gormley.
"FosToRIA, o., August 1, 1898.
"DEAR SIR:-At q meeting OF the
creditors OF the Charles Foster Co., and
Foster & Co., on Thursday evening.
Jnly 27, the undersigned will be ap-
pointed a committee TO make such In
yestigations and commence such legal
proceedings as may appear to be Tor the
best interests OF the creditors. The
committee was authorized TO employ
experts and attorneys and TO make
pro rata assessment on the creditors
to meet the expenses and further
TO at once collect one dollar
from each to push the work.
Among the reasons for this action is the
growing feeling that the business OF Mr..
Foster and his bank has not been prop
erly conducted, and that an expert
should be put on the books at once.
There is also great dissatisfaction with
the assignee, and the creditors here be-
lieye their interests demand his remov-
al. 1t is the firm conviction OF the cred
itors and your committee that unless
prompt and vigorous action be taken,
little IL anything will be realized, but ~
we would work successfully we must all
work together. Only united effort
will bring success. We therefore en-
close herewith a copy Of the agreement
many creditors have already signed,
and trust you will join In this work by
at once sluning and returning the
agreement, accompanied by one dollar,
which will be credited on your assess
ment. II you agree with US In asking
the removal OF the assignee, and put
ting in his stead one Of our own chOos-
ing write the word yes after the
words removal OF assignee on the

The Anti-SnVer Men for the First Time
in Years show the Militant Spirit

WASHINGTON, D. c., August For
the first time in many years, the anti
free coinage men are the aggressors in
the House OF Representatives. Since
the decentralization Of silver In 1873 the
silver men have been an aggressive
element In every Congress and
have yearly demanded that atonement
be offered for the ''crime OF
10" and that silver be restored to its
place as a money metal. The militant
spirit Of the free coinage element is
still to the front. but there has sudden
ly appeared an equally aggressive spirit
among the hitherto conservative anti
free coinage men who have
suddenly assumed the agrees
i've and demanded that the purchasing
clause Of the Sherman act be repealed
and that it be done uncOnditionally and
at once. The leader of this element is
q man who never follows but always
lesds-the Hon. Bourke Cochran, of New
YORK. He has been known for many
years as high chieftain of Tammany,
as one OF the greatest orators OF the
day, but now he appears in a new
role-the popularity recognized cham

Associated Prsss Worlds Fair Special:
CHICAGO, August For four hours
this afternoon the Board of Lady Man
ayers wrangled, and when the meeting
adjourned the report Of Mrs. Meredith,
which was the cause OF all
the trouble, was still before
the body. There were tears,
Kisses, stamping and other noises. As
soon as the meeting was called to order
there was desire expressed that
Mrs. Nancy Houston Banks, Of Ken
lucky, explain how certain deposit
tion by Mrs. Ball, OF Delaware, Secre-
tary OF the committee, came TO be
published. The deposition was In
an awards support OF Mrs. Cunning
hams charges that Mrs. Meredith,
chairman Of the committee, had acted
with "malice."
This brought forth a great deal OF
feminine oratory, but Mrs. Banks final
ly explained that the first she knew OF
the publicity OF the deposition was
when she saw members OF the press
with typewritten copies, and she at
once notified the officers Of the board.
Mrs. Meredith then made report,
inclnded In which was the information
that every member OF the committee
had signed a letter addressed 10 Mrs.
Palmer asking that Mrs. Ball be eK-
cused from further service on the COM
mittee.
Then trouble began and for three
hours one parliamentary question after
another was raised, until even the man
who sits as parliamentary expert at
Mrs. Palmer's side and advises her was
bewildered. As the debate grew large
number Of outsiders, attracted by the
noise, pushed by the guards and filled
the chamber.
None Of the many propositions made
met with the appreciation OF a sufficient
mum Der OF members 10 insure adoption
and the board finally adjourned in a
very ruflled frame OF mind, leaving the
matter unsettled.
At a meeting OF the National Com
mission to-day, Commissioner Good
ell, OF Colorado, offered reso-
luton reducing the salaries
OF Commissioners ST. Clair and
Massey, members Of the Council OF Ad-
ministration, to $500 year. Their
present salary as members OF the coun-
Gil is $500 a month, and the radical re-
ductlon contemplated in the resolution
brought forth considerable discussion.
The resolution was finally referred to a
special committee, which will report
this week.

1t was ten minutes Of 10 o'clock
when Dixon and Pierce began their bat
tie. The purse was Sc, 500, OF which the
loser receives $500. Mike Brashy held
time for Dixon and jim Lavelle for
Pierce.
First round-Dixon led with his left
after a little feintIng and caught Pierce
in the wind. He visited the same spot
again. After some cautious tparrng
in which Dixon showed up to the best
advantage, the men clinched the ropes
but broke away Of their own ac-
cord Dixon then smashed Pierce
with his left and again with
his right. A clinch followed and Dixon
showed he was good hand at the game
Of infighting, and made Pierce break his
hold. Dixon caught Pierce again and
the round ended.
Secoud round-After short ieint by
Dixon, Pierce led lightly on Dixon's
face and then ducked a right hand
swing cleverly. A short rally followed,
OF which Pierce appeared to have the
advantage. Dixon endeavored to land
his right, but was met and stopped very
cleverly. Pierce appeared to have
gained confidence in himself as the
round ended.

was met with lightning like jabs in the

out. 1t took nearly ten minutes for

Among the new officials of the Senate
who took hold today were two from
West Virginia. Col. Garlic Hagan, was
inducted into Office as assistant post

Senator Faulkner, while Mr.. A. P.
Garden, OF Wheeling, was put on

pion of the Presidents financial
policy in the halls of Congress.
IL is the element that has Bourke
Cochran at it's head that to-day hoists
the black flag and declares no quarter
to the advocates of free coinage. The
immediate and uncondtion repeal OF
the Sherman act without referance TO a
committee is the policy of Mr. Cochran
and he to-day conferred with the silver
men, to induce them to agree upon a
plan whereby the issue would be fought
out in the halls Of Congress without
awaiting the appointment OF the COM
mittees and the reference customary
under the rules.

COLUMBUS, o., August THE Exec
utive Committee of the State Miners
Association met here to-day to devise
means by which closing down the mines
can be obviated during the financial
stringency. Both the State laws
and the agreement between the
miners and operators call for
bi-monthly payments Of wages in
lawful money. Now, however, oper-
ators never delinquent before, are un-
able to meet the pay rolls. To force the
agreement would cause the mines to
shut down. The committee proposes
that for the present the CONF panies pay
their employees on alternate pay days In
checks, which the store keepers will
accept, and on the other pay days in
currency. The coal orders are not
diminishing.

Jim Corbett was given a great ova-
tiop when he walked into the building,
accompanied by Manager Brady and
several other friends. They were
shown to one Of the private booths.
The majority OF the big betting men
fancied Dixon, and they were rather lib
eral in the odds they offered. The first
bout was between Murphy and Mcbride
for purse OF 81, 900, of which 5000 went
to the loser. 1t was give and take until
the tenth round, with Mcbride in the
better condition. The referee awarded
the fight to Mcbride.

Absence of Mind.

"Talk about absence of mind" said
the man with the ginger beard, ~ guess
the minister of little church my folks
useter to go to when was livin out in
Kansas he took the cake. Tell you
what he did. You see, the congregation
had Clipped in an bought the old feller
a bicycle SO he could git little exercise,
as well as git to the church easier, which
he had about five mile to go.
"Well, one Sunday the folks had all
gathered and waited and waited, but no
preacher showed up. Some of 'em lowed
he was sick, and some of 'em lowed he
wasn't, and at last committee went
out to see what was up. Now, what do
you suppose that there absentminded
old feller had did? He'd jist got on that
there machine a-thinkin about his SER
mon, and the sinners, and the collection
and all that sort of thing, and stead of
startin for the church he had started the
wheels backward and never come to his
self till he was nigh onto seven miles in
the wrong direction. never see a sheep
isher lookin man in my life than he was
when we caught up with him an asked
him where he was goin."
The soft snore of the grocer arose on
and fell of the still summer air with a
mechanical regularity of vibration, and
the man with the ginger beard filed his
pockets with herrings and cheese and
went down to the blacksmith shop to
seeif any horse trading was going on

the dean; any departure from regular

cial direction. The necessity Of such

superficial observer. Those who send
their daughters here, do this for the
purpose of securing their improvement,
and this is to be acquired under the
safest protection. 1t is rightfully their
expectation that at any time, day or
