The Slayer of Hedberg Went After
Satisfaction and Got Lots

CHICAGO, May 9.-Lieuteuaut James
Nancy, recently acquitted Oh the charge OF
numbering Captain Hedberg. has furnished
Fort Sheridan with another sensation.
The story current tonight is that since the
shooting of Hedberg there has been
much Ill feeling between Nancy and Major
Baldwin of the Seventh Cavalry. Nancy
to-day called at Major Baldwin's Q44r-
ters for an explanation.
II have called to see you, Major" he
said. sin regard to certain remarks have
heard you have made about me in relation
TO the Hedberg affair.""
'Yes?" said the major interrogatively.
Eyes, SIR" continued the lieutenant.

opinion that the killing Of Hedberg was a
cOld-blooded murder and to have advised
my ostracIsm by the officers of the post.
Is that tiue?"

here I'll just tell you to your face that |
think you were in bad luck when you were
acquitted
Some versions are that the lieutenant's
right hand sought his hip pocket in search
Of his gun at this juncture, while others
say that the lieutenant was not armed. In
any event Baldwin landed with his right
and followed up the blow with an enthu-
siasm that knocked the lieutenant in a
heap. He was game. however, and get
ting up quickly landed upper cuts with
science and precision. Major Baldwin
was pugilisticalIy the better man. and
after sharp, short struggle clinched with
his adversary. choking him into submis-
sion and pitching him outdoors. Lieuten-
ant Nancy failed to materialize at inspec-
ton to-day and the story leaked out, de-
spite the efforts of the officers to maintain
secrecy. Nancy was found in close COM
municstion with a raw beefsteak and ban
dages, but refused to talk about the affai.
A possible cour rt-martlal is hinted at, but
it is not thought that the lieutenant will
prefer charges.
Colonel CrOfton of the Fifteenth Infan-
try tonight positively denied that any en-
counter had occurred between Major Bald

CARLISLE ON SILVER.
None of the Secretary's Hostility
Has Disappeared.
Statistics Showing That All the
Nations Are Coming to the
Gold Standard.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Secretary Car
Isle has sent to the Senate in reponse to an
INQUIRY a letter relative to the currency
aud the productions of India, Russia and
the Argentine Republic, together with a
voluminous statement from the Chief of
the Bureau OF Statistics. The Secretary
says there has been no change in the
weight. fineness or legal tender power of
the silver coins of India since 1885, when
the present silver standard was estab-
lisned. The silver rupee now. as then,
contains 165 grains of pure silver. The
closing of the mints in 1893 did not have
the effect of changing the silver coins In
any other respects indicated.
The Secretary says that In india the
rupee price for such important articles as
rice, wheat, linseed and gunny bags has
risen during the last twenty years. The
rupee price of other important articles
has fallen, such as. for instance, raw
cotton. yarn. hi des, indigo. opium and tea
In Russia the coinage of silver, which
has heretofore been the monetary stand
ard of the country. was suspended in 1876.
and in 1886 the double standard was intro
duced. The actual currency of that coun-
try since 1858 has been paper credit
rubles." or 'silver rubles."
The average prices of some of the prin-
cipal articles of Russian production dur
ing the years 1878 to 1877 compared with
their average price during the period from
1887 to 1891 have fallen, while those of
others have risen. Among the articles
which have fallen in price are wheat, rice,
barley. oats, yarn. leather and raw wool,
while the prices of maize, peas, flour, fax
and hemp have risen. There is no data at
hand upon which to furnish statement
OF the fluctuations of the prices in the
Argentine Republic for the past twenty
or even ten years.
While'the coinage of small silver pieces
is permitted in Argentine Republic. that
country is practically on the gold stand
ard. The actual money is, however, only
deprecated paper of fluctuating value.

McCann, chairman of the Labor Commit

been steadily toward the United States for
years, said Mr.. McCann, until the labor
market of Europe is being drained so that
the commercial classes are awake to the ne

Furthermore. the leading men of Germany,
France and Great Britain place the labor
question foremost among the great ma
