GOLD CERTIFICATES.
Secretary Carlisle Considering the
Question of Resuming Their Issue.

The Secretary of the Treasury is consid-
ering the question of resuming the issue of
geld certificates, which was suspended in
1888 when the gold reserve first fell below
the $1O0.OO0,O00 point. The issue of these
certificates was suspended as means of
acquiring gold in the treasury. Heretofore
1t had been the custom Of the treasury to
issue certificates On the deposit Of gold, Blu:
such gold deposited did not become part of
the gold reserve. By suspend:ng the issue
of those certificates many holders of gold
rather than hold 1t, exchanged 1t for legal
tenders and treasury notes, which, under
the ruling OF the department being gold
obligations, practically subserved their pur-
Ioses. but the treasury, on receipt of gold
Sc discharged, was enabled to add 1t 20
TIE gold reserve. AS long as the treasury
adhered to its policy of redeeming legal
tenders and treasury notes in gold the
holders OF such notes could obtain gold on
demand as readily on them as on gold Ger
tihcates However. gold holders would
prefer the gold certificates. Since
the election and the gradual in
crease of the gold reserve such holders
believe that there is no reason WHY the
issue of gold certificates should not be re-
sumed. The matter is now before Score
tary Carlisle. and probably will be decided
upon the return of Assistant Secretary
Curtis from New York. It Is understood
that Mr.. Carlisle is not favorably disposed
toward the resumption. The issue of cur
rency certificates under the act of 1872
never has been suspended

paper. part Of which was found in the
mans brain and part in your pocket?'
IF there was any paper In my pants
pocket l don't remember about 1t except
that had some candy in my pocket. Inc
candy was wrapped in a paper 1 tore on
the paper on the shelf in the store, but
when I got home 1t had been taken out.
That woman certainly had her hand IN
my pants pocket that day..
What woman?
Mrs. Irwin.
The prisoner explained that this happened
on the Friday prior to the killing When ne
met Mrs Irwin on the road near Plaln-
field.
Talking about the paper in that man 3
head" said the prisoner-defenoahl, eau
give any account of 1t. l dom kno" hotn-
He remembered that the paper. the New
Charles. and the Sunday Baltimore AMER
can were in his shanty- The kino OF pa
per he used in loading his gun ne dlo NOT
remember, but he picked it up in the
shanty. .,,. ~.
uafterp" Mr.. Mitchell asked him.
yes. sir. but I'm ready to answer every
question you ask me-
What about the letters! ne was askeo.
IAN / admitted at the coroner's inquest
The others they said were received by
YOU: what about that?
.They showed me some that had re-
ceived from her..
From whom?"
Mrs. Irwin"
He said he had Iead enough of the letters
to identify them.
Cross-examined, the prisoner said that on
the Friday prior to the killing he met Mrs
Irwin on the road near Plainfeld- Inc
meeting resulted from an engagement made
by letter. He followed the buggy down
the road to the swamp, and caused some
merrfment by saying: ION the way down
the road she poked her head out the back
of the buggy and asked me to kiss her,
and l kissed her.
He afterward met her in the swamp.
How do you reconcile this statement
with the statement you made before the
coroner's jury. when you declared that no
illicit relations existed?'
Because i had given her my word that
I would never tell anybody, and 1 consid-
cred IL no more harm to lie to you than to
go back on her."
Then you perjured yourself before the
coroner's jury?" the states attorney asked.
Yes. sir
Then you may step down."
That Is our case" remarked Mr.. Mitch
ell for the defense.
This closed the testimony in the case,
and the court adjourned.

The pressmen of the government printing
Lff1ce. with one entry from the bindery and
the composing room, held road race this
forenoon on the Conduit road. The start
was made at 11:25 o'clock sharp, and the
scratch man was pushed over the tape ex-
actly five minutes later. The start was
made from in front Of Cabin John Bridge
Hotel, and the finish was made at the same
place. This would make the course about
nine miles long, though 1t was originally
intended to have ten-mile race. The
change was not made until few minutes
before the race. The club ten-mile race of
the Arlington Wheelmen finished at this
place, and the pressmen decided to start at
the hotel and save time and distance by
riding down to Glen Echo, a mile or so dis
tant -
There were fourteen entries in all,
though four men failed to show up at the
start and did not start. They were Messrs
Humber, Hayes. Lynch and Flanagan.
The other printers in the government print
ing office we're interested in the meet and
came out to cheer the men to victory. The
starters and their handicaps were as fol-
lows: Parker. five minutes: O'Leary. four
minutes; Little and Christie. three minutes;

last men to cross the tape at the finish, and
their time was not taken. the officials at
the finish giving up all hope of the men

THE INDIANA SENATORSHlP
Harrison Talksd Of a Voorhees, Suo-
cese0r.
A Spirited Contest in Pf0gress-l
Possible Compromise ON the
EE.President.

II not Gen.. Harrison for Secretary of
State. then why not for Senator from In
diana again?
This question Is much discussed by the
politicians. Some Of the warmest OF Gen.
Harrisun's admirers insist that after sit
ting at the head of the cabinet table he
cannot accept a seat below that. But they
agree with many others that he Is alto
gether too able and too young man to
remain in retirement, and particularly at
this time, and so they join with others In
proposing him for the Senate to succeed
Mr.. Voorhees,
Gen. Harrison succeeded Mr.. Mcdonald
in the Senate, and served from 1881 till
1887. He enjoyed the work of the office,
and made fame for himself while holding
it. In fact, 1t was his senatorial record
that secured for him the presidential nomi-
nation in 1883. He had proved to be one Of
the strongest debaters in the country while
in the Senate, and a man of broad views,
and SO when Mr.. Blaine refused to permit
his name to go before the national conven-
ton that year, Gen. Harrisons ability and
availability became irresistible. He de-
feated strong field, including Mr.. Sher-
man and Mr.. Allison, for the nomination.
and Mr.. Cleveland, intrenched in power in
the White House. for the presidency. 1t
was big years work. of which any man
HulSut nave Deen proud.
The contest over the Indiana senatorship
is spirited. Gen. Harrison has not entered
It, and probably will not. The feeling 10
that II he Is chosen the office will seek the
man. c. w. Fairbanks IS in the lead for
the place. and w. r. Mexican of local rail-
road fame. and Gen. Lew Wallace are d.
viding goodly vote between them. All
are friends of Gen. Harrison. and for that
reason he is not expected to interfere. But
In the event of a deadlock the party would
nave to find some strong man with whom
to break it. And Gen. Harrison is con-
fessediy the strongest man in the state.
Mr.. Fairbanks has long been a faithful
worker for his party. and this is the first
time he has asked for reward. 1t is sug-
gested, however, that a reward which
would satisfy him and at the same time in
sure the country the public services again
OF Ger. Harrison would be cabinet place
for him and the senatorship for the ex-
President. Mr. Fairbanks is a successful
lawyer. and would be in his element either
In the Interior Department or In the De-
partment Of Justice. Gen. Harrison back
In the Senate would be in his element, and
would take rank Immediately among the
leaders.

The ten-mile road race of the Arlington
Wheelmen was held this morning on the
upper Conduit road course 1t was a club
road race. but the interest excited equaled
that OF big open road race. The club
turned out in full force. the full member

not race brought up their lady friends To
witness the event which decided the chani-
piofship of the road Of the club. There
were fully 500 people at the finish at Cabin
John Bridge Hotel. large portion Of which
were riders OF the fair sex.
The start was scheduled at 10 o'clock sharp
in the morning, but owing to usual delays
the start was not, made until nearly An
hour later. There were twenty-ene en-
trants in all. though there were only
eighteen starters. The two limit men, A.
L. Espey and c.. L. Heilbrun. each with
start OF eight minutes on the scratch
man. failed to start
There were fifteen men who finished at
the tape, two dropping out and one railing

shock did not throw him off Immediately,
he fell off shortly afterward and struck his
knee, fnturing the member so badly as 70

Tom Mudd NOT only won the third prize.
but he also captured the time prize, and
If the course is found to be ten miles upon
measurement the time will be record for
the local cycling world. 1t was the best
time ever made on the course. no matter
whether it Is ten miles or more or less. The
start was made at the spring in front of
the entrance to Glen. Echo. then up to
the Anglers Club house and return
The Handfcnps.
The limit men were William Gettinger
and J. W. Rawlings, and they were given
" minutes on the scratch man. The handi-
Gaping was done by 3. F. Larcombe. The
limit was exceptionally big, and no one ex-
pected that the scratch man would catch
the limit men: He succeeded in doing this,
but some of the other men succeeded in
showing up excellent speed. The next man
was given handicap Of 5 minutes and so
on down until the last man had 1 minute.

on the nat concluding with a pink coat
steeplechase of three miles.
The track was in magnificent shape, while
the weather was that Of May. The number

REPRESENTATIVES, SMITH.
Does Not Expect Much Lexisl. tsop
Except Approximation Dflls.

Representative Smith Of Illinois said to-
day that he could not well see how It would
be possible to do much this session of Con-
gress beyond making the usual appropria-
Tic ms. Unless the silver Senator's change
their minds about the Dingley bill It can
rot pass, of course. and 1 do rot see what
reason there is to expect them to change
after the sort of fight they made against
the bill last winter.
While there may be some embarrass-
ment about revenue at the opening of Mr.
McKinley's administration, before legisla-
ton can go into effect, do not think there
will be much reduction in the appropria-
tons: The government will have to be run
aid think there will be an Improvement
In the treasury receipts even under the
Wilson law. While I do not believe the
Wilson bill coulc ever produce enough revc-
nue.. think the revival Of prosperity as a
result of McKinley's election will greatly
increase the government receipts, so that
We can get along ntil q better law can
