Says Free Coinage by the United States
Would Bring International Action.
Dallas Tex, Sept. 21.-In speech here
Saturday Governor Culberson read the
following significant correspondence be-
tween himself and Prince Bismarck on
the money question:
"Prince Bismarck -Sir-The great ques
ton of finance is now Of supreme Interest
to the people of the United States. 1t Is
presented In various forms. but in gen
eral way, 1t may be said to be, first
whether the United States shall adopt the
single gold standard, or second. whether
they shall adopt bimetallism, with gold
and silver as the standard or primary
money. The argument In favor OF each
is well known to you, but it Is purely In
sisted that we should adopt the policy
OF bimetalllsm because the supply OF gold
in the world for coinage Is Insufficient to
meet the demand. and because such
standard will still further depress the
value Of all property.
Which, In your judgment, Is the best
policy to adopt, the gold standard or bi-
metallism, giving your reasons.
"What effect. in your judgment, will
the immediate adoption f blmetallism by
the United States have on the cause Of
bimetallism In Germany and other great
commercial nations.
fSiena<h &c CULRERS0N-
Governor OF Texas"
In reply Prince Bismarck said:
Friedrichsruhe, Aug. "a.
"Honored Sir-Your esteemed favor has
been duly received. l hold that this is
the very hour that would he advisable
to bring about between the nations chiefly
engaged In the worlds commerce mu-
tual agreement in favor OF the establish
ment Of bimetallism. The United States
are freer by far In their movements than
any nation of Europe, and hence II the
people of the United States should find 1t
compatible with their interests to take
independent action In the direction OF
bimetallism. I cannot but believe that
such action would exert a most salutary
Influence upon the consummation of an
international agreement.
Signed "BISMARCK."

GOOD ROADS.

Mr. J. W. Adams is in receipt of
letter from Prof. A. G. Millar, of
Hendrix College, stating that he
will deliver an address to the people
of Monticello and Warren on the
subject of Good Roads, the latter
part of this week, and that upon his
return, if arrangements could be
made, he would address the citizens
of Jefferson county or the same sub
ject next Monday night.
Accordingly Mr.. Adams today
called on County Judge Jones, and
the latter eheerfully rendered the
use of the t-house flor the above
named purpose next Monday night.
Prof. Millar has devoted consider
able time and study to the subject
of roads for the past few years, and
is, perhaps, the best informed man
on that subject in the State. He
was at the head of the Arkansas del
egation appointed to attend the
Road Parliament held in Atlanta,
Ca, during the Cotton States Ex-
position, and it was at his sugges-
ton that the Arkansas Good Roads
Convention was called to meet in
Tittle Rock
There is not more vital or i'm
portant question to the people of
Arkansas today than that of Good
Roads, and upon the occasion of
Prof. Millar's appearance here he
should be greeted by a large audi
edce. Prof. Millar especially desires
to talk to the Jefferson County dele
cation appointed to the Arkansas
Good Roads Convention, and all
who can should arrange to be pres
emf.

CONSTABLE WALKER AND
A DEPUTY IN CLOSE
QUARTERS.
The Deputy Constable and One
of the Tramps ShOt-Two
Tramps Escape Hand
cuffed Together.

Near the old Woodland place on
the Cotton Belt railway, three miles
south of the city, was the scene of a
battle between Constable Walker
and Deputy Constable VIM. Penn
ington, of Niven township, and three
tramps about 7 o'clock last even
ing.
Near the railroad is vacant house
and this house has for some time
been the favorite stopping place, at
night, for all the tramps that pass
up or down the Cotton Belt road.
The owner of the house recently
nailed up the windows and doors, and
gave the Constable of that township
instructions to arrest all parties
guilty of tresspassing on his prop
erty.
Yesterday evening the officer re-
ceived word that the house had been
broken into by tramps and that they
were burning the floor and ceiling
for fuel Mr.. Walker, in company
with Mr.. Pennington, at once
started for the scene to arrest the
tramps.
When the officers arrived at the
house the tramps were ordered to
surrender Two of the men obeyed
and they were handeuffed together,
but the third man, when the officer
approached him, drew 44-calibre
Colts revolver and began firing at
the officer as fast as he could pull
the trigger. The first shot struck
Deputy Pennington in the hand. To
avoid being shot with the shotgun
carried by Mr. Walker, the murder
Gus tramp seized Mr.. Pennington
and held him between Constable
Walker and himself at the same
time endeavoriug to use his pistol.
Mr.. Walker finally brought his gun
to bear on the tramp and fired. The
gun was loaded with bird-shot and
when the smoke cleared away the
tramp was lying on the floor scream
ing: I'm shot, I'm shot. Unfor
tunately part of the load of shot
entered Mr.. Pennington's neck and
caused him very painful wound.
The officers concluded the tramp
was badly wounded, and started
with him for the home of Mr.. Wal
ker, about 300 yards distant, and
left the two other tramps in the
house handcuffed together.
On reaching his home Mr.. Walker
left the wounded tramp to go over
to the home of Mr.. Thomas S. James
for the purpose of teleponing to this
city for physician, and Mr.. Penn
ington went back to the vacant
house after the other two prisoners.
Pennington, on his arrival at the
scene of the fight, found that the
two men had fled, in the darkness,
and no trace of them could be
found. Mr.. Walker returned home
and he found that his wounded
tramp had also made his escape. and
up to the time of going to press
neither of the parties had been
found.
The officer now thinks that his
gun was loaded too light and that
the bird-shot merely penetrated the
skin of the tramp
