WHILE there is life in the fifty third congress democrats will not cease to hope for legislation in the line of currency re- form. But candor compels the confession that there is nothing tangible in sight in either house or senate at this writing upon which to build hope. The situation is similar to a serious case of sickness in ones family. No matter how serious the doctor may look or how low the patient may appear to be. we hope for a change for the better. and sometimes our hopes are realized. and sometimes, alas ! they are not Only time can tell how it will end with currency reform.

SPEAKING on measurements of precision Professor Mendenhall recently as- serted that one great Railroad in this country had so tabulated its accidents that it was able to foretell with accuracy each year how many arms or legs taken of and so on. And it's board of directors is thus always ready to weigh the cost of new invention to add to the safetiss of travel ag.ihst the probable damages to be paid for fatal and other injuries which the said invention might prevent" This. no doubt. shows great precision of measure ment. but it does not show anything else that most railway companies would care 10 hrnn ahont.

WAS IT MURDER!
Police Puzzled over Mysterious Poi
SOning Case.

Police Puzzled Over IL Mysterious Poi
Soning Case.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21.-A mys-
terious poisoning case was brought to
the attention of the police to-day, when
a report reached the Coroner that Mrs.
Kate Charles. wife of Frank Charles. a
loc,smith, living at 13 Polk lane, had
died under circumstances that pointed
strongly to murder by poisoning. Cor
oner Hawkins Immediately dispatched
deputy to the house and removed the
body TO the mOrgue Frank Charles, the
husband, who had partaken of the
same fatal draught, was in convulsions
and he was sent to the Receiving Hos
pital.
The circumstances surrounding the
case are most peculiar and every fact
thus far elected points to the commits
sion of dastardly crime by someone,
but for what purpose cannot be con-
ceived
The couple were married two years
ago and, if the statement of the nus
band is to be believed, the union was
happy one.
When brought to the Receiving Hos
pital at o'clock this morning Charles
was suffering intense pains. His limbs
were drawn up, fecks of foam were on
his lips, and he could not stand on his
feet. Police Surgeon Well, who exam
ined Charles, pronounced the case one
of strychnia poisoning. and he imme-
diately administered cOunteracting OPT
ateS. Charles condition improved at
once, and within an hour he was pro-
noUnced out of danger
His statement is that last night he
bought a cheap bottle of claret, and
when he got home drank a glass of it
ana went to bed. About 6 o'clock in the
morning he took another glass, after
which he was taken with severe pains.
His wife also partOOk of about a thin
bleful of the wine and a few minutes
later fell on the floor.
Charles says that no person could
have entered the room after he went to
sleep last night. The wine did not con-
tain any poison at that time, else
Charles would uOt be alive to tell his
story. The death of the woman and the
condition of her husband show that this
morning the wine contained either
stlychnine or some deadly poison Who
put it there?
The answer to that question must fix
the responsibility for drugging the wine
upon either Charles or the wife now
dead. provided it be true that no other
person had access to the room.

EX-CONSUL WALLER.
His Trial In Madagascar Fair On til
Face of the Evidence.

His Trial In Madagascar Fair On the
Face of the Evidence.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2I.-The SUMS
Washington special says: The court
martial proceedings with all the testi-
mony taken at the time Of ex-Consul
Waller's trial in Madagascar has been re-
ceived at the State Department and ex-
amined closely by Secretary Olney, who
has decided that the trial was fair in
every way to the ex- Consul on the face of
the evidence as forwarded from Paris, and
that this Government has no substantial
ground upon which to base demand for
indemnity.
This testimony was requested of the
French officials several weeks ago, and II
was the impression that it had been re-
fused, as it was intended to substantiste
the allegations made by Waller that he
did not have fair hearing, and was not
permitted to present evidence to show
that he had no connection with the enc
mics of France in Madagascar. Prior to
the arrival OF the testimony here Secre-
tary Olney informed the French Govern
ment that unless it was forthcoming the
Administration must infer that every op-
portunlty had not been given Waller to
present his side of the case before the
court, and would demand an indemnity
for illegal arrest, trial and confinement.
France, however, it turns out, was will
ing to forward it, and while there have
been assertions that it had been doctored,
Secretary Olney has been compelled to
accept il as reliable statement, and de-
cides that Mr.. Waller has no just claim
against France, at least for an irregular
trial
