Latest Report Is That President Cleveland
 WiIl Appoint Delegates to One.
 WASHINGTON, March 30.-It is impos- sible to secure confirmation here of the report from London that the United States has consented to enter the pro- posed international monetary confer ence, but the best information obtain able is to the effect that in case the call is issued the president will accept the invitation under the terms of the law enacted during the last session and ap- point the three delegates necessary to complete the commission on be half of this country. Many of the best friends express the opinion that he will not forcgo any opportunity that promises substantial progress to promote an in- ternational agreement on this ques- tion, but add that he will, in all prob- ability, prefer to see the terms of the call before taking action.
 Senator Daniel, one of the delegates appointed on behalf of the senate, was in the city yesterday and expressed himself as pleased to hear the report that England was favorably consider ing the question of representation at the conference, and said he had been fearful that that country would take a position which would render the conference, if held, incapable of accomplishing sub- stantial results. He said also that, while he had no information with which the public was not in possess sion, he was of the opinion that the conference would be called and that the United States would be repre- santad

ARSENIC IN SUGAR.
A Million Pounds of Poisoned Sweets Ar

PHILADELPHIA, March 3O.-The mil lion pounds of sugar brought to this port by the steamer Bemus from Ham, burg, and which it was alleged con- tained enough arsenic to poison half the population of this city, was sold at auction yesterday by the govern ment for $4,O0O, which amount about covers the duty. Before the sale it was announced that the chemists of the state board of health and city board had analysed a portion of the sugar, but failed to find any trace of arsenic. The appraised value of the sugar was SlT,270 and the original value of the goods S23,963.

BAD FOR BANDITS.
Train Robbers Led into a Trap in
 Kentucky.
They Hold Up TralR and Are Shot by Detectives-Desperate Fight with Outlaws In the Indian Terri-
 tory-Two Killed.

GREENWOOD, Ky, March 2s.--One of .he most daring and at the same time most unsuccessful attempts at train robbery occurred at 2:30 a. m. yester- day in the southern part of Kentucky, when six men undertook to rob the southbound train No. 5, Queen & Cres- cent, which left Cincinnati at D. m. Tuesday. One of the six was killed outright, another died at 4 o'clock yes terday morning, and third, giving the name of Miller, died in Cumberland Falls The other three outlaws have not been heard from. The train was delayed not more than ten minutes and reached Chattanooga at a. m. yester- day on time.
 The reason for this summary dis posal of body of train robbers is found in the fact that some tidings of their purpose had been given to the railroad or express authorities, and that Mir. T. R. Griffin, who serves as superintendent of police on the South ern road, had with him two trusty as- sistants. The train had just reached the south end of tunnel No. 9, which is a mile north of Greenwood, when the robbers signaled it to stop. They had scarcely disclosed their purpose until Mr. Griffin and his assistants on the train began offensive operations and in ten minutes three of the robbers had bitten the dust, the other three had flown and the train was speeding on its way. Not single injury was suf- fered by anyone on the train. Of course the treasure in care of the Adams Express Co.'s messenger was entirely safe.

Outlaws Killed.


 FORT SMITH, Ark, March 29.-Sam McWilliams, alias "Verdigris Kid,' Sam Butler and George Sanders, rode into Braggs, 9 miles east of Fort Gib- son, at 2 o'clock yesterday morning and began robbing the town. T. J. Madden went out the back door of the store and hurried to Johnson Manning, deputy sheriff, mile away, and gave the alarm. Manning and Hiram Stevens, another Indian deputy, came back and found the out laws at Madden's store. A fierce fight ensued between the deputy sher- ifs and the outlaws McWilliams and Sanders were killed, and Butler was wounded, but he made his escape. Joe Morris, clerk for Madden, was shot through the abdomen and mortally wounded. The bodies of the outlaws were brought here at noon to get the reward of S2j0 offered for McWilliams, who is better known as "Verdigris Kid," and who was side. part ner of Jim French. On his body was found a pistol taken from a deputy at the Correta robbery. Bug Lucky was on trial for the same rob- bery when the body arrived, and was convicted an hour later. Sanders has been desperado for several years, but had just joined Verdigris Kids band. Bill Cook was brought out of jail and identified McWilliams. These are the last of the outlaws who became famous as bandits in this section last year. All the balance have been killed or ou ur,fn

Special Washington Letter. I

Congressman John Allen, of the First Mississippi district, is regarded as one of the brightest, wittlest and most en- tertainirg orators in the house of rep -esentatives- Whenever he is accorded the floor he has large audience in the galleries, and the members always con- gregate about his seat and pay the closest attention to his remarks. This Is not only because MT. Allen Is an able md fluent talker, but because every one who ever heard him knows his un- common power of illustration. He holds the attention of his auditors, and they have learned to expect a good anecdotc from him whenever he speaks. And they usually hear at least one.

slL veR Ia CHICAGO.

The Chicago Record is giving il.
subscribers o chance to vote on the
silver question. md Ills is what the
Record has to say about il:
One fact brought out very plainly
by the Records tost vote on tic silver
question is that The Issue is causing
a great disturbance III both the old
parties Lifelong Rcduhlicans are
in the ranks CT the fcne-siIver advo-
Gates, ana viii support tho party most
favorably t. shat yarsn. On the other
hand many stnurch Democrats arc
decidedly opposed 10 free silver. and
are ady % leave their party if itpats
a frec-Siivcr plank in its platform.
One Democrat who sent in neg
atiyc vote to the Record ballot Eox
commented uTon the matter thus: Il
have voted for Seymour, TiIdcn, Han
cock. ana for Cleveland every ,ine !;
but I viii not vote for free silver
nun, no matter which party he be-
longs to /" On the other hand many
Republicans express sentiments like
this: Il am and always have been n
Republican. but Will cat my next
vote with the party that favors free
coinage of silver The absorbing
interest which the silver question has
for the public is shown hy the fact
that some voters consider il the only
Issue worth voting upon, and have re-
rained from voting at recent elections
because neither party had dcliualcly
committed itself on the subject The
silver question Will lie the paramount
issue in the next election. The tariff
issue will be releGatrd 70 the back
ground for the time being. Either
some one of the existing PARTIES will
take up the cause Of free i yer, there
by getting many votes away from the
other party and losing many Of its
own adherentI, or II new party will
enter the field with free silver rs its
wah.hword. TIE attitude of the exist
ing parties toward the 81 yer question
will depend upon the expression of
public opinion. Each Of the great
parties Will Nant TO lie on the popular
side Of tho question, in order that it
may gain more votes than it lnses.
The silver question started in the
West Nevada. We believe, Claims IN
have taken the inijal step. Certainly
it is 4 fact beyond dispute that NcZ--
