CRISP On THE SILVER PROBLEM
Hopes tor Practical Results From the
Monetary Conference.


Monetary Conference.
Washington, D. G.. March g.
Speaker Crisp shares with the Presi-
dent the view that the coming none
tary conference ''looks like business. ."
He does not regard his appointment
as al empty honor. In brief con-
versation he said he intended to
procure and read the reports of the
proceedings of the several interna-
tional monetary conferences hereto
fore held because he was ''In as great
need of information and instruction
on that subject as anybody we'll
could be-
Il have been greatly encouraged
by recent Indications of change of
sentlmen in Europe in regard to sill
yer, and / have strong hopes that if
another conference shall be held
practical results may be obtained.
For my part I would rejoice to see
the silver question eliminated from
the next presidential campaign"
Judge Crisp has hitherto been in
full sympathy with Bland on this
question, but he does not seem to
share the opinion of the latter that
the proposition for another interna'
tional monetary conference is q
wicked device of "gold bugs" to
create confusion and Decentralization
in the ranks of the friends of silver
and defeat their efforts to restore
that metal ''to it's rightful place in

Indignant at Reed. .
al to the Globe Democrat


Washington, D. c., March Tx
Speaker Reed and the Western Re-
publicans came in conflict to day in
way that left considerable bad
feeling. When it became evident
that the proposition for delegates to
an international monetary conference
was going through, the Republicans
began to caucus for one of the places.
The Western mer realized that it
would be impossible to name a free
silver Republican. They, therefore,
cast about for a member elect to the
next House who was known to be
liberal but not extreme in either di.
rection. They hit upon Hepburn,
of Iowa, who has been in Congress
several terms. Mr.. Hartman, of
Montana, began to circulate a paper
in favor of Hepburn's selection. He
obtained signatures, and it seemed
probable that Mr.. Hepburn would
be the Republican delegate.
Going to Mr.. Reed, Mr.. Hartman
showed him the paper. The ex-
Speaker not only objected, but he
did so in what Mr.. Hartman consid.
cred a personally offensive manner,
and sent the Montana man away
very much hurt. Mr.. Reed then in
formed the Democrats that Repre-.
sentative Hit, of Illinois, would be
the Republican delegate, and the
name was put in the resolution. Mr..
Hit is one of the most radical gold
men on the Republican side The
selection and the manner in which

Effect of the New Tariff.
St. LOUIS Rebublic .

st. LOUIS Rebublic.
Our new tariff is having a good
effect on the foreign trade of the
country. Exports have increased
steadily since August and there has
also been a large gain in imports.
The report for the calendar year just
issued by the Treasury Department
shows that merchandise valued at,
S250,0O0,OO00 was exported during
the last three months, with exports
amounting to $575,OO0,000 in the
first three quarters, The monthly
average in the last quarter was $685.
100000 and in first three only $G4,-
100000.
Our imports in October, Novem-
ber and December amounted to over
$172,000,OOO as compared with
$167,000,000 in the first and third
quarters and S16S,O00,OOO in the
second ono.
December's We're the largest
monthly imports of the year with
but two exceptions,and that months
exports were surpassed but once.
Decembers exports were $15,O00,-
900 larger than the monthly average
last year,and $11,O00,O0O more than.
that of 1898. As compared with the
monthly average in 1852 and 1891
the gain was S6,OOO,OOO and 81, 900,
900 and 81, 100000 respectively.
Heavy increases in our foreign
trade after the new tariff took effect
helped to swell the years total to
something like the old time figures.
The value. of our shipments of mer
chandise last year to foreign coun.
tries was ss25,OOO,OOO or about the
same as that of our exports in 1889.
The shipments were really much
larger, but the decline in prices puts
their value below that of the other
years shipments. This applies al
so to the exports in 1890, we got
less for it,
Compared with our record for
1923. last years exports fell off S47,-
100000, or less than per cent.
They were S72,OOO,OOO behind the
annual average for the preceding
FIVE years. This is loss of nearly
9 per cent in values but in volume
of merchandise the decrease was, of
course, much less, prices being con.
siderably lower last year than they
had averaged for the five preceding
years.
With the help of the new tariff
the country was able to make a pref
ty good showing in it's foreign trade
last year. This year it will do bet.
ter still Instead of three or four
months. We will have the revised
tariff all year. The January returns
are not complete as yet, but SO far
as reported they show an increase
over the figures for December.

SAVED BY A KING SNAKE.
The Boss Serpent Story Comes From
Louisiana.

The Boss Serpent Story comes HNon
Louisiana.
The boss snake story comes from Cou-
shatta, La, by way of the Philadelphia
Times. This is the way it reads:
Charley, the four-year-old son OF l.. +.
Dean, a planter living below here IN
Natchitoches parish, had marvellous
escape from death yesterday, and owes
his life to the kindly intervention OF q
king snake. Dean says he had o1teh
heard of the usefulness of the king snake
in DESTROYING other snakes, while II is
itself perfectly harmless, but he never
quite believed this until yesterday, when
his own child's life was saved so mlrac-
ulouslv. Dean himself was away but
Mrs. Dean relates the story in substance
as it given below:
She was up stairs busy with her sew
ing, having let little Charley go cut into
the yard to play. Every now and then
she would get up from her work and go
TO the window to see if he was all right,
and to say pleasant word to him
TO keen him satisfied. Presently, how
ever, she became interested IN her WORK.
and allowed a longer time than usual to
elapse without speaking to him. When
she did think of him and 60 to the WIN
dowl the little fellow was not under the
tree where she had left him, but seemed
to have grown tired and wandered off to
the edge of large vine:clad summer
house. where he was sitting very stllI,
gazing intently at something which his
mother could not see.
After watching him for while in ST.
lence Mrs. Dean became convinced that
something Unusual was the matter with
| Charley, as he was bright, active child,
and never accustomed to sitting stlll,
eyenpfor a moment at a time. By and
by she grew alarmed at his stiffness and
called to him, but he did not answer.
Then following the child's intent gaze,
the mother was almost paralyzed with
fear when she beheld the hideous head
of large rattlesnake prOtruding through
the vines just above Charley's face. The
child was being charmed by the monster.
Literally dumb with fright, Mrs. Dean
did not even scream, but stood clinging
to the window sill, expecting every sec
ond to see the hideous fangs strike her
| oh; <Iie dootb hlOw
How long a time passed holding her
in this dreadful suspense, of course she
could not tell, but, as she describes it, it
seemed to her years of direst agony,
when suddenly out the thick of the
vines there glided quickly between
Charley and the RATHER beautiful pied
King snake, arching his back and rear
Ling his head. For "A moment the two
gazed at each other, then the RATHER S
fery ewes wavered and his head dropped
and the king snake was TIE master of the
situation. One, two, three sharp strikes
from his enemy, and the RATHER writhed
and sauirmed, and at last lay dead IN
his tracks, while the king snake glided
gracefully away through the grass,
leaving Charley safe and sound.

Al especially noticeable provision OF the

the one relating to the petit jury. First,
the number is limited to eight; and, Sec
ond, the rule of uuanlmity required for
verdict is done away with, except in
criminal actions. In all other cases a
three-fourths vote is sufficient. This is
an innovation which has often been urg-
ed. The experiment, when it shall be
tried, will be observed with wide inter

sorrows, for which there no legal redress.
