BIG DIVERSITY OF OPINION.
Morrison a Favopite Candi-
date Of the Democrats
for President.
HEsING ASKS SOUND MONEY
He Is Confident the Movement
to Be Begun in Chicago
Will Be a Winner.

CHICAGO, April 5-The Times
Her aid will print tomorrow the views
of 163 of the 204 members of the
Illinois legislature on the silver ques-
ton. Seventy-three favor uncondi-
tional free coinage and forty-one are
opposed to it; fourteen favor coin
age by international agreement, and
thirteen want coinage of the Ameri-
can product only; twenty-five are
non-committal. OF sixty-seven Dem
ocratic members interviewed, forty
seven are for free coinage and only
four against it. Morrison is the
favorite Democratic candidate for
president
In an interview on the subject of
the call for a state convention to
consider the silver question, Post
master Washington Hesing said he
considered it a most unfortunate and
fatal step. This outspoken attempt
to commit the Democratic party to
free coinage, he said, can have only
one effect-to draw from that party
thousands of voters, especially the
the Germans are almost unanimous
Iy in favor of honest money, and for
the maintenance of the parity of all
: money issued by the government.
They know well that free. coinage
would necessarily mean the destruc-
ton of the parity of the metals, and
would drive all the gold either out
of the country or into stockings.
Any declaration of principle, said
MIR. Hesing,s which repudiates the ma
tional platform of 1892, the state plat
form of 1894, and is in opposition to
the determined and consistent position
maintained by President Cleveland in
behalf of the parity of these metals,
must inevitably lead to permanent
and irrevocable split within the De-
mocracy and drive from it's ranks all
advocates of and believers in honest
money. 1t might. be better put by
stating that it would drive free coin
age advocates out of the Democratic
party, and mean the formation of
free coinage party. Both would mean
about the same-the absolute destruc-
ton of the Democratic party, as such.
and the REIMBURSEMENT, of any and all
claim as one of the two great parties
or the country-as one of the two great
parties destined to govern.
Three weeks ago I had a consulta-
ton with President Cleveland on this
subject His views are well known.
he expressed to me the hope that the
beginning of the movement for honest
money would be made in this city. for
he felt that Chicago, with it's push and
enthusiasm, could give an impetus to
the movement such as could nowhere
else be found. Such a movement should
be started

borers and tramps, most of whom had
just quit work on the drainage canal
near Chicago.
The accident occurred on Wood
bridge, which is an open structure
seventy-fve feet above water There
is down-grade here, and the engineer
applied air brakes to the front cars,
as is customary. In the middle of the
train was an empty car, and back Of
this number of heavily laden box
cars. When the air was applied, the
heavy cars forced the fiat car off the
track, and in an instant fourteen cars
went over the bridge. The scene fol-
lowing was one of heartrending dis
tress. 1t was yet dark, and chaos
reigned. The injured were brought
to the hospital here. The wreck is on
the cut-of, so that trains were not
delayed. None of the train crew were
hurt, as the middle cars only went
over the bridge.

there together. The man registered as

The woman is not mentioned on the
register, but they were both assigned
to the same room. The man gave
orders not to be called this morning,
as they wished to rest as long as pos
sible. The clerk raped on their door
this morning and got no response
The door was then forced, and the
couple were found lying dead in bed
There was no evidence of a struggle or
violence. A paper lay on the floor,
labeled strychnine. Both held hand
kerchiefs in their hands as though
chIoroform had been used. The man
is younger than the woman and both
have light compilations. On one of
the mans cuffs is the name Sudge
Whitney, which had been partly
erased. The affair is deep mystery.

FRANCE NOT BLUFfED.
RIGHTS CLAIMED BY ENGLAND
ON THE NILE DENIED.
JOHN BULL CALLED DOWN.
Nj. Hanotaux, Minister for Forei~n
Affairs, Replies TO Grey,s
Declaration.

PARIS, April 5.-In the senate todav
M. Hanotaux, minister of foreign ar
1alrs, replied to the Statements made In
the mouse of commons March % lby
Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary sec
retary of the British foreign Office. an
regard to the Angio-French situation
in Africa, WHICH statements were called
forth by the complaint of the British
Royal Niger company that two French
expeditions were trespassing ON the
territory in the Upper Nile valley that
Is under British protection. M. Hano-
faux sad that France opposed the con-
tention OF the Niger company that it
mas the right to monopolize commerce
In and to prohibit transit in it's entire
territory In regard to the Upper Nile
valley, France maintains that the khe-
dlVe OF Egypt is the legitimate master
OF the regions, and she therefore de-
mands from Great Britain an-explana-
tloh OF what territory she claims.
france wants to know where Egyptian
influence ends and British infiuence
commences. Great Britain's claims on
this point are most vague. France has
been unable to obtain an EXPLANATION
and when the inquiries were pressed
Great Britain had broken off the nego-
tiations. There could not, however, be
question of aggressive action or per-
emptory orders when so many complex
problems We're involved, of which so
many diverse solutions might be useful
ly considered.
NJ Hanotaux added: Nobody can
wish to hamper the initiative of the
brave explorers of these countries. but
when the time comes to decide the ulti-
mate destiny of these regions we be-
l1eve that the rights of the SULTAN of
Turkey and the khedive of Egypt
should be respected, and that there
should be reserved to each what be-
longs to him according to his works.
Ihe two great nations, France and
Great Britain, will find means to recon-
c1le their interests and satisfy their
common aspirations towards civiliza-
ton and progress
