Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 1S-Horace G.
Allis, ex-president of the First National
Bank, under sentence OF five years i'm
prisonment in the Brooklyn peultentary,
ana whose sentence was affirmed by the
United States supreme court on yesterday,
arrived here this afternoon from JEFF
2erson county He declines to make any
statement further than to say that he is
ready TO accompany the marshal to
Brooklyn and viii serve his time like a
man. He was very indignant over an
article which appeared in an afternoon
paper stating that an effort would be
made to obtain for him u pardon, and
authorized this denial, written by
himself; mo one, either my
attorney or member Of my family, il
authorized TO make such a statement, /
have no patience with that subservtency
which sacrifices clear conscience to
expediency. No pardon viii be asked
for, for the simple reason that no crime
has been committed, and the attorney and

SENATORS AND SUGAR.
A Judge Rules that Witnesses Before

the Committee Must Answer.
Washington, Nov. 13-Judge Cole to-day
in the United States district court of the
District Of Columbia, ovcrruled the demur-
rer in the cases Of John w. Mccartney Of
Washington and /. r. Chapman of New
York the brokers who refused TO unswe-
certain questions before tha Senate sugar
investigating committee and holds the de-
PENDANTS for trial This was IN the ua-
ture Of a test case and the decision means
that Messrs HaVemtyeT, Sea~les and Sey-
mour. who were recently indicted. and the
newspaper men, Messrs. Edwards and
Shriver who were drst indicted. VIII have
10 stand trial
After long review of the pleadings I'm
the case Judge Cole reaches the c0nclu-
sion that in order to confer jurisdiction on
the committee it was not necessary for
the resolution under which the committee
was appointed, to set forth or avOW what
final action the Senate had IN contempl7-
ton upon the information TO be obtained.
It is sufficient 10 jurisdiction If IT. appears
that the Senate had lawful authority TO
take any legislative action unless fl also
appears affirmatively upon the face Of the
resolutions that no final action was coH-
tenplated, and that tine investigation was
to be carried on simply for the purpose Of
vindicGtiOn or auiraadVCrsiOu, and it can
not be cOntended that there is anything
in the indictments to justify such "a con-
struction,
After disposing of the jurisdiction of the
Senate in favor OF the government Judge
Cole discussed the pertincucy of the ques-
lions asked and declared chat any court
would have held the questions to be ma
terial and pertinent to the subject under
Investigation. AS TO whether the wit
nesses were subject to be excused on
grounds personal TO Themselves the Judge
holds that the questions were not such as
to criminste themselves. Their Iusi-
ness, he says, was o perfectly legitimate /
one and they are as much at liberty t. deal
with senators as with any one else"
As to the contention that the report of
the investigating committee and the GER
tihcate of the vice president ia the cases
OF the witnesses should be set forth u
The indictments, Judge Cole holds that
neither Is necessary.
At the conclusion Of the reading of the
decision. attorney Jere Wilson, of the de-
PENDANTS counsel gave notice that he
would appeal TO the District Of Columbia

Report on the Subject May Be Made to
the Commissioners To-day.
The county commissioners will hold
their regular monthly meeting this after
noon at I O'Clock.
Among other matters it is probable
that a report will be made by Drs. Charl-
ton, Elliott and Stone, which will lead to
a competitive examination between those
who are candidates for the office Of
county ply stefan.
Other matters to come up are the suit
OF Mr. D. b. Lester against the county
for $1,000 damages to the White Bluff
shell road, claimed to have been made
when the countys hands repaired the
roads drainage, and the claim OF Mr..
Duggar for $32.S5 for services rendered
the county in putting in some trunks.
The court house committee will probably
make a report on the application of the
bar association for the use OF the room
at present occupied by the county en-
gineer as a law library.

Last week saw silver come down to
the lowest point on record. 1t was
quoted III London at twcnty-ninc and
onc-fourth pence per ounce, in New
York at sixty.four and one.half cents.
At this price a silver dollar is worth
about fifty cents. From 1888 to 1850 the
yearly average price in London was
about sixty pence, sometimes iracti OIL
over, sometimes fraction under.
From 1850 to 1859 the average range
was higher, from sixty and one-hali in
the former year to sixty-two and one
sixteenth in the latter. For the next
thirteen years it lowered about sixty
and sixLy-Ono pence
since then tho price has been coming
down. There have been occasional re-
coveries OF 4 penny or two on the ounce,
but thev have not changed the current.
In the past eleven wears the decline has
been rapid, and Tor the latter part of
thia period it has come by pIunges. The
average price in 1888 was fifty and nine
siXtcenths, in 1857 fnrtv.four and five
eighths. in 1872 thirty-nine and three
sixteenths and in the year just
closed thirty-five AMI nve-eichths. The
closing quotation Tor the past week was
nine and one-ci.hth pence lower than
this and weak ut that.
1t should be evident TO everybody
that a metal so unstable in value is not
safe basis for monetary system and
that no Legislative scheme can force it
on an equality with gold. 1t should
also be clear that the compulsory pur-
chases OF silver by tho United States
treasury wore stopped none too soon.
We have quito as many fiity-cent dol
lars as we can carry and very much
more sixty-iour and half cent silver
bullion in the treasury ,han We should
have. Every ounce OF this silver repre-.
sents loss.
