WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Hansbrough was today shown dis
patch from Fargo saying that a con-
ference had been held there of fusion

Devils Lake, had announced himself
as favorable to the election of Hans

The senator from North Dakota was
not long in giving his views on this
matter. He dictated the following
statement:
ANY conference in which Mr. Creel
takes part you may put down as being
an anti -Hansbrough conference 1 am

A. They buy it with their Ia
Dor, products or property.
q. What do they do With it
A. They use it to pay their
debts, taxes and other fixed charges,
and to buy labor, products, prop
erty and transportation.
Q. Does money possess intrin-
sic value?
A. No; its value is impaired to
it by the fiat and selection of stat
ute law.
Q. Why do gold and silver pos
sess value?
A. Because by the fiat of the
law Of nations they have been Sc
lected for use as money metals.
q. Why have they been thus Sc
lected !?
A. Because by nature and the
cost of production they are best
adapted for that purpose, and evil
IDENTIFY by the forethought of wise
Creator were designed for such use.
q. IL gold and silver were not
used for money would they possess
value?
A. Very little. A bushel Of
wheat possesses the same intrinsic
value under any and all conditions
because it will sustain human life;
but aside from its use as money
metal gold is not factor in the
sum Of human necessities and sill.
yer is only small one.
q. What may be said to be the
price of money?
A. The amount of labor, labor's
products or property necessary to
buy it.
q. Does the price of money
vary?
A. Yes, under the economic
law of supply and demand.
Q. Give an example.
A. When real or redemption
money is plentiful each piece be-
comes relatively less valuable be-
cause there is less demand for it,
consequently it takes less of labor,
labor's products or property to buy
it. Under such a condition in
speaking of labor, products, etc.
We say wages are high and prices
are good, likewise when money is
scarce there is more use or demand
for each piece, consequently it takes
more of labor, products, etc., to
buy it. We then say wages are low
and products are cheap.
q. Can you give authorities in
support of this law?
A. John Stuart Mills says: "That
an increase of the quantity of mon
ey raises prices and a diminutiop
lowers them, is the most elemental
~ proposition in the theory Of cur
rency."
In other words, the price of mon
eY fluctuates under the law of sup
ply and demand the same as any
commodity. only its fluctuations
are seen in the rise and fall of the
average price af commodities.

FRANKFORTs LIVELY FIGHT.
Sudden Stampede Nearly Re-eIects
blackburn

Frankfort Ky. March 1.-TWO ballots
were cast for United States senator to-day
amid much excitement, but without result.
Shortly after the legislature adjourned,
Senator Blackburn was surprised by be-
ing notified of his election through con-
gratulatory telegrams from friends In
every direction. No one here could un-
derstand how such a report originated,
until. after Investigation, II developed
that the Chicago Associated Press had cir
culated the announcement.
The hrst ballot proceeded without Incl
dent until Mr.. Ertngton's name was call
ed. He again voted for Senator Black
burn, and a report was circulated that
Mr.. Poor would vote with him, but he stuck
TO Mr. Petit: After the ballot was COM
pleted, Mr.. Poor arose before the result
was announced and changed his vote for
Senator Blackburn amid cheers.
A stampede of the Carlisle men TO
Blackburn was at once in force and one
by one Senators Eiiston Smith, Hollo-
way, Noe, and the other bolting sound
money men came to Senator Blackburn
amid the widest excitement.
The republicans were completely discon-
certed as one by one the most violent anti
Blackburn democrats began 10 fall into
line for him. To stop this stampede. the
to vote for Secretary Carlisle In the
midst OF the terrible din, Representative
Lyons OF Newport, perched upon a chair.
declared that IL the republicans tried to
elect Carlisle he would vote for Senator
Blackburn. Even Mr. speight who had
never voted for Blackburn, made a speech
coming over to his arch-enemy.
The House and galleries went wild. DR.
Chambers OF kenton, seeing Senator
Blackburn's election in sight, demanded
vote, though paired with Senator Weis-
senger, and almost riot resulted. The
serBeant-at-arms was ordered to clear
the galleries I'm order to restore quiet.
Speaker Blandford left his chair by the
side OF the lieutenant governor and rushed
among the republicans, begging them to
vote for Carlisle. A knot of sound money
men gathered around Messrs Violet,
Salyer, Carroll, Walker, Noe and Others
The chair finally obtained order and an
nounced the ballot. which the clerks had
footed up during the confusion. 1t was as
follows: Blackburn, co; Boyle, 59 Car
Isle. 5. Mr. Howard moved TO adjourn
but Bronston objected, and the whole
body was in a turmoil. The roll was
called, and the motion to adjourn was
lost.
The second ballot started off as harm
lessly as the first. The republicans de-
clined to vote, however, and the original
Carlisle democrats went back to him. On

blood OF defenseless men and women, etc.
Senor de LONE says he secured a copy
OF the book with exceeding difficulty. 1t
IS little 43-page pamphlet published by
Enrique DOnderio in New York in 1876,
and nowhere in ii does Gen. Weyler's name
appear. 1t describes many horrors of the
last war, attributed both to the Spanish
and the rebels. but makes no reference
Whatever TO Gen. Weyler. DOnderio, the
author Of the book, was an officer in the
Spanish army who deserted and afterWard
Fought with the Cuban rebels. Senor de
LONE thinks that Senator Sherman may
dlSaVoW his statements when shown how
usslSrIy W paseleSS tney We're. As matter
OF Iact, Gen. Weyler only occupied a sub
ordinate position in Cuba before the pres
elI lnSurrecUOn, and in numbers of PAM
pnlets written by Cubans about the pre-
ylous war, which have been collected by
the Spanish legation here, none has ever
6een round containing anything about
Gen. Weyler.
In Senator Lodges speech there was a
translation from a Spanish paper giving
an interview with Gen. Weyler on leaving
Sadlz to take command in Cuba regarding
MS intention TO pursue a policy of eXter-
mlnauon. SenOr de LONE says he has all
the papers and is prepared to demonstrate
70 senator Lodge that some one has i'm
posed upon him maliciouSly fraudulent
report In fact, in the minister's opinion,
that Is where the most OF the trouble lies
lie asserts that Gen. Weyler's proclama-
uon against bandits applies to such lead
erS as Manuel Garcia, Mirabel and Perico
del Gado, who, he says, live the year
round, even in times of peace, by maraud-
ing the plantations, matchmaking, kidnap-
ping and resorting to all crimes. Gen
Weyler intended to pursue them just as
similar bands would be pursued in any
state of the American union.
Senor de LONE continued: Great
stress has been laid by senators and 9TH
ers upon an alleged proclamation about
TO be given to the people of Cuba by Gen.
Weyler. The authority that such a proc
lamatien was about to be published was
a copyrighted telegram of the Associated
Press. The prediction has not been Veri-
ned, though weeks have passed since this
statement was made"
Senior de LONE says he has refrained
hitherto from answering the untruthful
statements published, but when utter
ances, founded wholly upon misconcep-
ton, from the capital of the United States
are beginning TO strain the cordial rela-
tons between the nations, he considers
it his duty, although against the con-
ventionahties of his position, to appeal
to the honest common sense of the Amer
lean people and their famed reputation
for according fair play
