BRlCe AND CLEVELAND CONFER.
The Senator Seems inclined to u Policy "i
.I.et AIone.''

"I.et Alone"
Senator Bricc was in consultation with
the president for two hours Tuesday on
the then pending currency bill. Bricc, it
is understood, pointed out various phases
Of the question Us they presented them
selves to him as a business man. He
dwelt especially upon the possible lack of
wisdom in enacting "A law providing for
n low rate bond and repeating the existing
law. Under the present law" he said to
Cleveland, you have the power to sell an
unlimited number of per cent. bonds.
There has been some disposition to qucs-
ton this authority, but it has been exer-
Cised and it has not been questioned by
congress.
"A new law changing the rate of inter.
est to 3 per cent. and limiting the issue
might in reality embarrass rather than
relieve. suppose the low rate bonds are
not accepted by the public-as they are
apt not to be if thrown upon the country
in any large biocks-won't the fact that it
is known that other issues are to follow
probably render it impossible to sell the
bonds at the low rate provided" The
senator also pointed out what he believed
would Ie the evil effect of drawing in the
$:,46, OoO, 0oO worth of greenbacks.
He said that this course would produce
such II contraction as would force the .e-
peal Of the law or at least the stoppage of
its operation within "a months time. He
also expressed the opinion that SO far as
the revenue was concerned the existing
tariff and internal revenue laws would
bring it up to the requisite sum by the
middle of next spring. 1t is understood
that while the president listened with ap.
parent interest to the senators representa-.
tons, he did rot himself express an opin-
ion on the subject

RETIREMENT OF THE eReENsAcks
One of the Principal Features Of the Plan
of senator Vest.

One al the Principal Features Oh inc Ran
of senator Vest.
Many of the Democratic senators re-
ccivc,i the announcement of the adverse
vote on the bill As n summons to the SEN
ute tn take the question up and find way
out OF the difficulties with which the coun-
try finds itself confronted. Voorhees, took
the first step for the formal consideration
of the matter by issing a call for a meet
ing of the finance committee TO be held
this afternoon at = clock. This meeting
is for the purpose Of canvassing the entire
situation and If possible devising means
~ improving the condition of the treasury.
so far is can be- learned no measure has
been prepared for submission to the COM
mittoc.
Vest. il is understood, has plan out
lined for a bill and il is worth notice that
one of the two principal features Of the
bill is To authorize the Issuance of "A suffi-
cient number Of low rate bonds to retire
the SID, GS0J0 worth of greenbacks. This
would stop the drain on the treasury for
gold The second feature is to provide
for the purchase and coinage of suffi-
cient quantity of silver to increase the
silver issuance to SOC, 600, OO which would
be an increase of about Sl50po,uOO This
is suggested rs a compromise upon which
the bond advocates and the silver men
can agree, but the scheme has not met
with general favor so far as it has been
canvasscd.
Some Of the silver senators, notably the
Republican silver senators, have taken
the position that they will accept nothing
short of a provision for unlimited free sill
yer coinage. They will not insist upon
free coinage 1T ratio of Ii TO /. but are
willing to allow the government a liberal
SeigEiorage. They will not agree. how
ever, that any limit shall b. placed upon
the amount TO Ia received on the terms
agreed upon. Ii Is not known how the
finance committee will stand upon this
proposition, but the silver men believe
that poll of the committee will show a
MATURITY friendly To that metal

of an Arkansas Pass passenger train,
at the San Fernando street cross
ing yesterday morning shortly
after nine o'clock, as the train was
en- route to Kerrville.
She was standing on the track
and refused to move. 1t, appears

whiskey was found on her.
A man tried to pull her off the

head struck the pilot bar and she
was thrown of the track and into
a ditch. Two men picked her up
and led her away. The train moved
