TUCKER MURDER MYSTERY.
Fred Wilson Has Been Arrested For
The Crime.

Ardmorc, |. T., Feb. 10.-The manner
in which five members of the Tucker fam
lily lost their lives in the lonely log hut
in the bayou is still a mystery.
Fred Wilson, son-in-law of the deceas-
ed Tucker, was arrested, charged with
the murder, and has been placed in Jail
here. He refused to talk. ID. B. Read,
farmer, has been arrested as an accom-
plice. To an Associated Press, Wilson
stated that while at work Friday 20 arm
ed men rode up to where he was working
and Mt the point of a revolver made him
mount behind one of their number and
accompany them to the burned cabin.
They apparently intended to lynch him
but as he pleaded piteously for his life
they relented and brought him here for
trial

The Financial Outlook as Seen
From wall street.

From wall Street.
New York, Jan. 26.-It is generally con-
coded that in the way of legislation on the
currency question, nothing is likely to be
done at present, nor indeed can be prop
erly done within the brief time remaining
for the present congress. The feeling in
favor the appointment Of a national COM
mission on the question is quite general.
and the recommendation to that effect by
the chamber of commerce is likely to
strengthen that sentiment. With respect
to providing authority for borrowing to
strengthen the treasury, the feeling is one
of growing Impotence. expressed in strong
denunciation of the neglect Of congress.
This postponement is the more inexcusa-
bic because the inevitable necessity for
the thing being done leaves so little room
for delay arising from differences of opin-
ion. The uneasiness on this account is
increased by the suspicion that the mac
ton of congress is due to fears that action
in this matter may bring up again the
eternal silver question, with all it's dis
turbing influences.
The question of the kind of money
in which the treasury bonds shall be
made payable applies the match to a
great deal of explosive congressional
material, and the Washington leaders hes
itate as to what is the best way of get
ting around that difficulty, the more so
as the silverites are evidently awaiting
the occasion for wrestling from the sound
money men some sort of concession to
silver. AS usual, Senator Sherman steps
to the front as a ready compromiser,
and, instead of strengthening public con-
f1dence by proposing that the bonds shall
be payable in gold, introduces a bill pro-
viding for an issue of per cents. pay
able lin coin," which means silver as
well as gold. The senator insists that
as the word coin has always been used
in government bonds, it should continue
to be. In taking this stand, he seems
to lose sight of the fact that when that
word was originally inserted in the bond,
silver (Which is as much coin as gold
was at a premium over gold, and when
the present bond act was passed-which
is now the only authority for the issue
of bonds-silver money was not in circu-
lation in this country. Senator Sherman
must know that since that time, silver
has deprecated from a premium over
gold to less than so cents on the dollar,
hence the word coin has not now the
ring that Ii once had. Senator Sherman
would make a good heather Chinese
if in China, because in that country they
still continue to use the old-fashioned
war weapons which they commenced
with, and do not even now deem it neces- i
sary to change them to meet the condi-
tons called for by modern warfare. 1t
