NEW YORK, Jan. 19-It is not at all
uulikely that fight between Fitzsim-

Jacksonville battle. Before AL Smith
left for Jacksonville he had a long
talk with Arthur I. Lumley ia regard
to a match between Jim Corbett and

would back the champion against
Lanky Bob, and even went SO far as to
offer to put up $1,000 deposit to make a

the Euglishman agreed to deliver. In
those five months he had paid out
Sl75, 900 in wages. The purchase OF
the engine had benefited American
labor. The other personalities had
been brought into the controversy by
the eloquent advocate of the steel rail
trust to cloud the argument. In all
seriousness he declared that this
steel rail pool was only
typical Of other protected
trusts, the existence OF some Of which
was perhaps not 70 easy to prove as
this" In conclusion he appealed 10

Mr.. Bland declared that free rails
would enable many railroads to repair

Mr.. Wilson took position against

In conclusion Chairman Wilson
urged upon his Democratic colleagues

Mr.. Henderson (Rep. la was then
recognized to offer the agricultural
schedule of the Mckinley law as Sub

Mr.. Hull (Rep Ia) followed with a
discussion on the effect of the agri

CAPITAL NOTES.
SENATOR TELLER's OPINION.

WASHINGTON Jan. 18. Senator
Teller, the leader of the silver men in
the senate. in discussing the condition
of the treasury and the talk of legisla-
tion for its relief, said today that the
solution of the problem was to be
found in the coinage of the silver
bullion in the treasury. ut is bad
policy" he said, ito borrow money
when the government has on hand
lying idle material from which money
can be made. What the country
wants is more money, not more gold
especially. Fifty millions could be
added Immediately to this fund by
norage of the silver bullion now in the
treasury. This could be followed by
the coinage of the entire amount of
bullion. 1t is, | know, claimed by
some that the law under which the
bullion was accumulated requires that
it shall be held in the treasury in suffi-
cient amount to redeem the certifi.
Gates issued against it. but this
is a mistake. 1t requires that the
certificates shall be redeemed in coin,
and under the practice of the treasury
department in redeeming the certifi-
Gates in gold it is evident that it is en-.
tirely unnecessary to hold so much
silver in the vaults of the treasury for
this purpose" Mr.. Teller thinks the
secretary has authority to begin the
immediate coinage of this silver bull
lion, which amounts to about $40, 900.
He expresses the opinion that if the
secretary does not choose to enforce
. this prerogative congress will adopt a
measure making the authority explicit
and putting it beyond question. From
what the silver advocates in both
houses of congress say, it becomes ev-
cry day more and more apparent that
they will antagonize any proposition
for further legislation regarding bonds
by an effort to first secure the coinage
Of this bullion, and they are generally
of the opinion that such substitute
would stand better chance of becom-
ing a law than would a bond bill.
REEDS OPINION.
Ex-Speaker Reed is not ready to
coucede that the Wilson tariff bill will

ments of doubt until the final vote is
taken" said he. TO be sue party
spirit is running high and the proba
bilities are that the majority will keep
their ranks sufficiently together tc

to concede that they can do this. You
can never tell how these questions are

her and had she been manifestly very
fond of him. He had deferred asking her
TO be his wife until he should be admitted
TO the bar. But it seemed tacitly under

and dreamy looking youth, just returned
from some years of leisurely life in Paris,

home, was not averse 20 the handsome

ably as speedily fallen in love with him
there was nothing for the law student TO
do but to abandon the hope of ever max

Nothing was said between them on the
subject, save what was spoken by the eyes

successful stranger treated each other cool

ranged that the stranger should marry
her.
Imagine the emotions Of the law stu
dent when, by some course OF circum-
stance, he learned that the stranger was
no other than defaulter who had fled
from New York years before, and had
while in Paris changed both his name and
his appearance. The evidence of the stran-
gers identity came to the law student by
accident. IL was such evidence as he could
not rely on for use against the stranger,
and IL was known TO no one In New York

He wrestled with the question day and
night. He knew it would be useless TO tell
the girl herself. She would ask for evil
dence, which he could not produce. She
would then consider him the prosecutor OF
her lover, and to prove her confidence in
that lover she might even precipitate the
marriage.
At last the law student bethought him
self to seek the counsel of his friend, the
philosopher.
To the philosopher the law student made
known his predicament.
The philosopher smiled.
