BEST DINING CAR SERVICE IN THE WORLD.
The Rock Island is foremost in adopt.

HOKE's IDEAS.
Thinks the Next President VIII Be
Opposed to Free and Unlimited
Coinage.

Macon, Ga, May Secretary Hoke
Smith, of the interior department, was
interviewed here last night, on the fnan-
cial question, and defined the difference
of opinion on the currency question exist
ing in the country at present.
The secretary divided the people into
three classes-gold monometallists, silver
monometallists and bimetallists. He did
not think the gold monometallists were
strong enough to become a factor in the
campaign. but that the issue would be
for and against silver monometallism.
He thought the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver at the present ratio by this
country alone, would mean nothing more
or less than silver monometallism, for
if, under that system. the price of silver
bullion would not materially advance, no
other metal would be presented at the
minis. for coinage
The secretary thought the agitation Of
the question was checking the return
of prosperity, but he hoped that the plan
of the silver men would be defeated,
without doing the country serious in
jury.
In conclusion, Secretary. Smith said L
have no doubt that the next President Of
the United States will be opposed to the
unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to l"

GERMANS IN IDAHO.
LARGE COLONY WILL SOON SETTLE
NEAR MINIDOKA.
They Come From the Valley of the
Eibe and Are Experts at Sugar
Beet CuIture-A Factory is Prob



Boise, Idaho. May 1.-Facts OF an
important deal partially consummated
by Governor Mcconnell during his re-
cent visit to Chicago, which contem-
plates the settlement Of a large colony
of Germans on lands near Minidoka,
has been made public. The governor
met an agent of the colony in Chicago
and arrangements were partly per-
fected for the settlement of $4,000 acres
of arid land in the valley of the Snake.
The agent will be. here in few days
to examine the lands. The colonists
are from the valley of the Elbe. and
have been engaged in sugar beet Gull
ture, to which a large portion of the
Idaho land will be devoted.
The scheme embraces a sugar fac,
tory. The land will be secured by the
state under the terms of the Carey
act, the Germans having sufficient
money to reclaim the entire tract.
The state officials today decided to
float at once a. bond issue of $4,000 fos
the insane asylum, and one of $4,000.
to be devoted equally between the state
normal schools at Lewiston and Al
bion. The issues were authorized by
the last legislature.
The governor vetoed the normal
school bond bill. but-it was passed over
his head. He now says he considers it
lis duty as executive officer to sign
bonds. therefore the validity Of the act
will not be tested unless at the instiga-
ton of persons desiring to purchase.

San Francisco. May 1.-THE inquest
upon the body of Blanche Lamont occu-
pied less than three hours today. but the
evidence developed was considered cone
vincing, and the jury returned q verdict
charging Theodore Durrant with th<
murder.
Two new witnesses were produced at
the inquest, and testified briefly. but it
was evident the prosecution is holding
as much of its evidence as possible in re-
serve. Until today no one had been pro-
duced who saw Durrant in the vicinity
of Emanuel Baptist church with the MUIR
dered girl, on the afternoon Of April 3.
The Missing Link.
This missing link, seemingly all that
was lacking to complete the chain Of cir
cumstances fastening the terrible church
crimes upon the medical student, was
supplied at the inquest. Martin Quinlan,
an attorney, gave direct and positive tes-
timony that he saw Durrant and a girl
tallying exactly with the description OF
Blanche Lamont, walking towards the
church, and only a few yards distant.
at Ais o'clock on the afternoon she dis
appeared. Quinlan explained that he was
waiting to keep an appointment with one
Clarke. who corroborated Quinlan's state
ment.
These witnesses furnished the sensation
al feature OF the inquest. but Durrant
maintained his stolid indifference during
the testimony.
The police and the district attorney are
confident of a conviction. stating that
they did not put In nearly all of their case
at the inquest.
Durrant's Frequent Visits.
Mrs. C. G.. Noble. aunt of the muir

of Durrant's visits at her house, and his
attending to her neice. Durrant had pro-
posed marriage TO Blanche last Decem-
Der, but had been refused when the girl
learned he was engaged to another young
woman.

fed that Durrant had suggested, after
her disappearance, that Blanche was
probably in a house of ill-fame. and offer

MGIFFIN's VERSION.
Why the Chin Yuen Was Lost to the
Chinese.

Chinese.
New York. May 1.-Commander P. N,
McGiffin. who had command of the
Chinese ironclad Chin Yuen at the
battle of Yalu. arrived here from
Liverpool and is stopping at the Astor
house.
The commander received a number
of wounds in the fight and is still
somewhat deaf. He has a tattered uni
form of the Chinese navy which he
wore on the Chin Yuen during the
naval battle.
He says it was stubborn fight and
was lost 10 the Chinese chiefly because
they had no shells TO use except iron
ones. The Japanese were we'll supplied
with shell which did great execution.
The Chinese shot passed through the
enemy's ships without doing any great
damage. The commander believes the
Chinese seamen are brave and skillful
and would make good fighters if they
could only trust their leaders. The
Chinese gunners fired as true as the
Japanese men, but did not do so much
damage on account of the quality OF
the shot The commander had some
very narrow escapes during the Yalu
battle. AT one time he was directly
in front of the mouth of a Finch gun
on his ship as the gunner was swinging
1t into place TO fire. He closed his eyes
and waited for certain death. He
opened them in a few seconds and
rolled off the superstructure just before
the gun went off. The commander car
ries two wounds in his left thigh and
another over his abdomen from frag-
ments of shell. Com modore Lin wa1
supposed to be in command but was
down in his room praying to the gods
to preserve him.
The commander will go to his home
at Washington, Pa, in few days. He
did not come by the Pacific as the
Japanese had a reward of $4,000 stand
ing for him dead or alive. Mr.. Nc
Giffin has been in the Chinese naval
service for twelve years. He founded
the naval institute at Wei Hal Wei
and did considerable surveying in
