SOUTHERN SILVER TALK.
Ex-Speaker Crisp interviewed on the
Subject

Washington, May 6-EX-Speaker Crisp
is in the city today en- route from trip
to the North.
"Well, yes, there is considerable talk
about silver down South said Mr. Crisp
to a reporter today. Il do not know that
it is any more pronounced now than for
merly, though it may seem to be so on
account of the prominence given the tinan-
cial question throughout the country. You
see the South has always believed IN the
use of silver in our national currency. L
am not prepared to say that the thinking
people of that section would come out rad
icallly on a single silver standard. They
are not radical about anything. Ihey
believe, however, that we cannot have a
return of prosperous conditions in this
country on the contracted currency OF a
gold basis. There seems to be general
willingness among our people to give
silver an opportunity"
What significance did you attach to the
coming sound money convention at Mem
phis"
''That gathering will represent the
boards of trade and commercial organl-
cations of the South. 1t will not be a
representative meeting of the mass of
people nor their sentiments about sil,
yer. I hope at the meeting they VIII
urge and discuss the silver question from
their standpoint"

sEALY RIFLES BARRED OUT.
Adjutant General Mabry Did 1t With
His Little Galveston Cup.

Memphis, May G.-Much d!sappoint-
mcnt is expressed here by the announce
mcnt that the Sealy Rifles of Galveston,
the crack military company OF the Lone
Star State, will not compete at the inter
st ate drill. Adjutant General Mabry %
Texas recently wrote the management
of the drill that if the Sealy Rifles We're
permitted to compete in the drill he
would Withdraw the Galveston cup from
competition here and not permit the
Fencblcs of Washington to give it up for
that purpose.
Furthermore, he said that the SealyS
had been mustered out of service in Texas
and that he would not recognize them
as regularly organized. The executive
comttee wrote to the adjutant general
and asked if the Sealys would not be per-
mitted to compete for the prize outside
Of the Galveston cup, hoping in that way
TO secure the presence of the Sealys,
but General Mabry was determined and
refused to permit the cup to remain here
for competition if the Sealys were allow
ed to participate. Naturally nothing re-
manned for the drill managers to do but to
wire the Sealys that their entrance would
have to be declined. This was done to-
night, containing the telegraphiC cores
pondence of Adjutant General Mabry.

ness, 1 began to feel at first a sort Of
languor and listlesness, to disguise which
was compelled to bring into play all the
strength of will 1 could command. The
feeling grew upon me, however, and in a
short time it took such possession of me
that it affected my appetite and caused in
somnia. 1 approached my meals with a
feeling amounting almost to nausea, and
my bed with horror at the restless night
that I was nearly certain was before me.
1t was only by the strongest efforts that l
was enabled to hide the change from peO-
pie who came into my place of business,
but my intimate acduaintancesw were quick
err to notice it. l had arrived at point
where l could no longer keep silent upon
the subject, and speaking of it to one OF
my friends one day he suggested that l
try Paine's celery compound. l pur-
chased bottle and before | had taken
dozen doses l knew that the suggestion
was good one, for felt an improvement.
l continued to use it, and feel entirely re
stored My appetite is good, l sleep well,
and, instead of an irksome grind, my bus
mess has again become pleasure to me.
You may put me down as strong advo-
cate of Pane's celery compound. Yours
respectfully, CHAS. MACDONALD.

BARON RANFEY LEERED.

Buda Pesth, May G.-The lower house
Of the Hungarian diet was crowded today
in anticipation of an explanation from
Premier Banffy regarding the trouble in
the imperial foreign office, growing out of
Baron Banffy's statement that the i'm.
perial government held the view that
the vatican's influence in church matters
should be exercised only through the pri-
mate of Hungary and the retOrt puDn the
part of the foreign office that the statement
was due to the Hungarian premier's igno-
rance of diplomatic usage. Baron Banffy
was today received with ironical cheers.
read the notes exchanged between him
self and Count KalnOky, the imperial
minister for foreign affairs, as showing
apparently that they agreed completely
upon the matter in question. The read
ing of these notes caused Il great impress
sion in the house. The baron then re-
marked that the Hungarian government
would not allow even the holy see to in
crfcre in the international affairs of Hun
gary. Finally the house unan moasy
adopted motion noting the premier
statement. The incident is now regarded
rs closed.

Sailors Home of st. Louis.

Albany, n. Y, May 3.-The court of APP
peals today decided against the Soldiers
and Sailors home of st. Louis in their
suit against Russell Sage and the sons

st Louis on behalf of the holders of Kan
sas Pacific consolidation bonds against
Russell Sage and George J. Gould indi-
vidually and Edwin Gould, George j..
Gould and Helen Gould rs executors and
executrix of the last will of Jay Gould,

with interest and promises of S11 100000
said to have been withdrawn from the
trust by the mortgage executed by the
Kansas Pacific railorad to Jay Gould
and Russell Sage and George J. Gould
from the trustecships; to enjOin the de-
PENDANTS from interfering with Gny trust
property covered by the mortgage; for
the appointment of a receiver of such
property and for such other relief as the
court may deem just. The action was
begun in October, 1894. At 4 special
term held in January the receivers of
the Union Pacific were made parties de-
PENDANT TO the action on motion of w.
$. Pcarce, attorney for the defendants
This was affirmed by the general term
and the appeal from the order was before
the court of appeals. The court atiirms
the lower courts opinion with costs. The
court holds that the bringing in of the
Union Pacific road as party defendant
is imperative, because without it final
adjustment could not be had. l-gS.!AI

ONE OF SOUTH cARoLINA's DISPENSERS

ONE OF SOUTH CARoLINA's DISPENSERS
COMES UP IN BAD SHAPE.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Feb. 12.--Goyernor
Evans has begun to apply the law to those
dispensers who have been found to be de-
faulters, az be expressed it few days ago.
And the first man among those to find
himself in the hole is Mr.. B. 1. Evans, the
dispenser at st. Matthew's, in Orange
burg county. The official inspector has
gone over this dispensers books and finds
that there is shortage OF between S2200
and $23O0.
Governor Evans yesterday said that the
matter of the existence OF this shortage was
only reported to him on Saturday last.
He at once sent Inspector Scruggs to St.
Matthew's to take charge OF the dispen-
sary aud make an investigation OF the
books and accounts.
He reported yesterday that the amount of
defalcation was as given above. Governor
Evans says he cannot understand how the
county board of control could have let the
shortage occur without noticing it. Gov
ernor Evans says there was nothing left for
him to do but to act promptly in order to
preserve the discipline OF the entire man
agement of the dispsnsary. Consequently
he has sent the bond OF the dispenser to
Messrs. Bowman and Fl. II. Brunson, at
torneys at Orangeburg, and ordered them
to proceed at once to bring suit upon the
bond to recover The amount OF the short
age. he has also decided, he says, to have
Dispenser Evans prosecuted to the full ex-
tent of the law for grand larceny and
breach of trust.
On the dispensers bond are Messrs.
Phillip Rich and Frederick j. Buyck, both
men of wealth, and the loss will be fully
covered.
Governor Evans says the shortage, so far
as he can ascertain, falls entirely on the
county and does not affect the funds due
the etate. fe
The governor has ordered Mr.. Scruggs to
close the dispensary and turn it over to
some person whom the board OF control
shall select to act as dispenser. t
Governor Evans has not taken legal steps
against any of the other dispensers who
have been found 10 be defaulters, but his
action today indicates what course he will
likely pursue with all of them. This mis-
appropriation of stale liquor funds has
caused quite stir among the advocates OF
the disDensary system.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

GOVERNMENTS COURSE IN CERTAIN MAT
TIERS NOT KNowN-oTHER SUBJECTS
DISCUSSED.
LONDON, Feb. 12.-ln the house of COM
mons today Mr.. Sydney Buxton, under
colonial secretary, stated that the govern
ment had not declared the exact course
which they would pursue in the event of
the Australian colonies deciding to feder-
ate, but the ministers were favoraby in
clined toward giving their assent.
The lord mayor and the high sheriff of
the city Of Dublin appeared before the bar
OF the house and presented a petition for
the release Of Irish political prisoners.
Mr.. Edward Heneag, unionist, asked
whether the government was III communl-
cation with the American or other govern
ments in regard, to the matter oil gambling
in agricultural commodities, or whether
the ministry proposed to corporate with
the powers with a view of establishing an
international entente whereby The practice
shall be suppressed.
Sir William Harcourt said that he was in
entire sympathy with the desire to sup
press such gambling, but was afraid that
the point had hardly been arrived at where
an International agreement would be de-
siraole. The government, he said, had
not received any Communications on the
subject from other countries.
Mr. IL. Gardner, president of the board
OF ofagriculture, said the fact that contagious
pleuro pneumonia had been found among
cattle landed at Antwerp from two Cana
dian steamers had resulted iu the prohibi-
tion by the Belgian governm nment of The i'm
portation into the country of Canadian
cattle.
Mr.. William Birkmyere, liberal member
for the Ayr district, asked whether the
government would insist as condition of
the assent of the crown to the Dominion
copyright act that clause be inserted in
that act enforcing the consent of the au-
thor.
Mr.. Buxton replied that the negotiations
regarding the copyright act had been
stopped by the dsatn OF Sir John Thomp-
son, and that at the present time he was
the matter.

And the Correspondence Between
Guatemala and Mexico
SUBMITTED TO THE PEOPLE
To Allow Them to Judge of the
Condition of Affairs.
Looks Ugly.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. IA special to the
Globe Democrat from the City of Mexico
says that the Diararo, the Mexican official
daily paper, this week begins the publica.
tion OF fficial correspondence between
Mexico and Guatemala over the threatens
ing international boundary dispute. The
correspondence is very voluminous, ex-
tending over number of years, aud Is
given publication by the government for
the purpose OF allowing the Mexican peo-
pie to judge of the merits of the case ac-
cording to their individual tastes.
Don Emanuel Romero Robi, secretary of
state, leaves this week for Vera Cruz. The
late presence on the gull coast of Gen.
Petro Hinojosa, secretary OF war, and
of Gen. Felipe Berriosabal, senior COM
mander of the Mexican army, added to the
impending visit of Minister Romero Rubio,
has given rise to the report that there is
something of exceptional importance brew
ing in that direction.
The Mexican gunboats Independence
and Liberad are earnestly coasting up and
down the east coast, and 1t is held that the
government has its hands on two good
merchant vessels, which will be armed aud
equipped for the transportation OF troops
and supplies to the south when occasion
demands. The armed corvette Saragosa Is
lying conveniently at hand in the harbor Of
Acapulco for a similar purpose. The boats
will all operate In common in the event OF
war. The gulf vessels will carry troops
from Tampico and Vera Cruz to Coatza-
coalcos, the eastern terminus of the Tehuan.
tepcc Government railway, whence they
can be rushed across the isthmus In few
hours to Salina Cruz, the Pacific terminal
of the road, where they will be picked up
by the Saragosa aud Oaxaca, plying ct
present in Pacific waters.
: These additional forces, with those
already on the southern frontier, operating
together, can easily execute joint move
ment upon Guatemala, which will make
things interesting, to say the least, around
the southern capital.
The daily drills of volunteers for the
Guatemalan war are gaining steadily 10
numbers in this capital and throughout the
republic.
