HoKE SMITH ON SILVER.
Thinks That the Gold Mono-metal-
lists are Not In 1t, and thu I6 Ito
1 Will Not Go

MACON, Ca, May l.-Secretary
Hoke Smith was intervie we'd here
last night on the financial ques-
ton, and defined the differences Of
opinion on the currency existing in
the country at present. He Thought
that in the next twelve months a
thorough discussion OF the money
question would be presented all
over the country. This discussion
would be limited, he ,noaght, to
the proposition for ire unlimited
coinage of silver = ratiO Of l6 to L.
The Secretary idCd the people
into three class god rnono-met-
alists, silver L'no-m' talists and
bi-metalists. lie iii not think
that the gold mon et.lists were
strong enough To h,r"uIe a factor
in the campaign, but tn It the issue
would be for and against silver
mono-metalism. He thought that
the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver at the present ratio by this
country alone would mean nothing
more or less than silver mono-met-
alism, for II, under that system,
the price of silver bullion did not
materially advance, no other metal
would be presented at the minis
for coinage. He thought the agi-
tation Of the question was check
ing the return Of prosperity, but he
hoped that the plan Of the silver
men would be defeated and pre-
vent serious injury. In conclu-
sion, he said: 81 have no doubt
that the next President Of the
United States will be opposed to
the unlimited coinage Of silver at
l6 to l."

Cordage Combine.

New YORK, May 1.-The Even
ing Post says:
at was learned today that i'm
portant negotiations designed to
benefit the manufacturers Of cord
age have been completed and are
likely to go into effect very soon,
The plan is for controlling supply
and price of the raw material used
by the cordage company, and has
been practically agreed to by the
various conflicting interests.
Briefly put, the plan, as stated
by one Of the projectors today, is
to place the purchase and sale OF
all the raw material under the con-
troll Of one man. All the companies
will have their raw material from
one source. They will all get it at
the same price. Competition will
not be prevented among them
selves, but if they cut prices they
will simply, by the operation OF
the plan, be robbing themselves
that is depriving themselves OF
their share OF the profits on the
raw material without injuring
their competitors. The plan is al
ready assured Of adoption"

Frisco Murder Gases.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May L.
The police authorities have in
voked the aid Of the Pinkerton de-
tectives in the Emanuel Baptist
church murder cases. Detective
Simmons, who was formerly at the
Chicago headquarters of the agen-
cy, and OF late years connected
with the Portland, Oregon, branch
Of the service, has arrived in this
city. Whether this acquisition will
enable the detectives to obtain
further evidence against Durrant,
the young man accused of these
murders, is problem atical. In
the meantime additional circum-
stantial evidence is cropping out
and the police feel more than ever
convinced that they have the per-
petrator OF the crimes in the per-
son Of Durrant.

NOT "A PARRIcIDE.
So Say the Jury After Two Hours
Deliberation-A Dull Case
All Around,

FORT SCOTT, Kas., May 1.-Noah
Strevil, charged with the murder
Of his father, Stewart Strevil, was
last evening found not guilty. The
jury was out two hours and took
but two ballots. The verdict was
ageneral surprise as it had been
expected the jury would disagree.
The trial has been one of the most
sensational held in this part of the
country for years.
Strevil, senior, was murdered in
cold blood about five weeks ago, as
he sat in his own hearth. Young
Strevil was soon arrested and
charged with the crime, it being
alleged that he, as the only heir to
his fathers property, had commit
ted the crime.
The endeavor Of the prisoners
wife, who voluntarily testified
against Strevil, her demand for
the witness fee for her services,
and the suicide yesterday OF
StreviPs half brother were the
features OF the case. Many of Mrs.
StreviPs strongest statements were
broken down by the defense. The
confession OF Strevil's half-brother,
at Horton, which is said to have
been made before he died, has not
been made public.

California Wheat by Sea

NEW YORK, May 1.-Ship brok-
ers at this port seem rather skepti-
cal concerning the report that the
"Fair" wheat will be moved to
Liverpool direct by sea. 1t is de-
clared that the charter ofiron hulls
to an aggregate Of $4,000 tons is
simply for the transaction of regu-
lar business. Though the rate has
risen to 81 shillings for cargoes to
Liverpool from San Francisco, 1t
will have little effect on New York
shipping, as the rates offered will
by no means tempt them to send
their vessels around the Horn. 1t
is said by some of the brokers that
vessels will not leave here in bal
last for San Francisco until the
rate rises to at least 45 shillings or
thereabouts.

While the known negotiations now
in progress give hope to the Off
Gals that settlement will be
made, yet, it could not be learned
that the final stages of adjustment
have been passed. The under
standing though is that President
Zelaya and his cabinet have before

London two weeks hence on con-
dition that Corinto be Immediately
evacuated and il this is accepted
by Nicaragua, Great Britain will
agree to it.

settlement OF the pending trouble

this proposition Nicaragua agrees
to pay 10, 500 pounts in London in
fifteen days from the time the
British ships leave the harbor OF
Corinto. 1t now remains for
Great Britain to agree to this con-
dition. The governments course
is regarded as shifting on Great
Britain. all further responsibility
for the trouble. The most posi-

given so there may be no necces-

Houghton, book-keeper for f. A.
Means & Co, OF this city, started
for Denver last evening, leaving a
letter to his employers confessing
he was an embezzler. A warrant

custody upon his arrival in Den

firms employ for the past seven
years, and has occupied a promi-

books reveals a shortage Of over
$1,000. 1t is believed, however, that
the embeZZlement, which extends
over a period of two years, will foot
up much larger sum, probably
double the amount. Houghton
gained some notoriety last fall

Fire and Loss ofLife.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-two alarms
were sent out shortly before II o'clock
this morning for a fire which broke
out in the six-story brick building AT
SO Clinton street. The flames were
first discovered in the cellar where S.
Rauch carries on a candle factory.
They spread quickly to the top of the
building where there is sweat shop.
Two men on the top floor had their es-
cape cut OFF by the flames. One jump
ed from the fifth floor to the street,
and will probably die from the injuries
he received. The other man jumped
from the roof, two stories to the roof
of an adjoining building, and was
slightly hurt. The fire Quilted the en-
tire building. When the flames were
overcome, the fremen found the body
of man on the top floor. No other
bodies were found in the building.
The building was next door to the
large curtain pole factory of John Kos
ter, where about 200 men were en-
ployed. When the fire broke out the
men quit work in body and fled to
the street in state of great excitement.
The man who jumped to the street
broke both legs. He was taken to
Governor Hospital. The fire is thought
to have been caused by vat of wax
boiling over.
