HILLS FINE ITALIAN HAND.
The Senator Suggested Calling the
Popular Loan BiuR.

Washington, Jan. 9.-One OF the most
startling stories in connection with the
financial situation is the report that
Senator Hill suggested to the admins
tration through mutual friends the bold
move of issuing a call for the popular
loan. It is known that Senator Hill Is
disposed to lend his aid to the adminis-
tration in the pending financial conflict,
and he demonstrated his ability as an
administration champion in the Senate
last Friday, when the republicans, head
ed by Senators Elkins, Johnson, Sher-
man, Teller Lodge and others, were clam
oring for a popular loan. Then the re-
publican press and several sensational
newspapers took up the cry, and ii SEEM
ed that public sentiment was being
aroused to a point whore 1t might be
wise to contend against II.
At that 1uncture Senator Hill is said to
have been consulted by the representa-
tives of the administration. According to
the report as 1t Is whispered around in
congressional circles Senator Hin frankly
stated that there was but two ways out
of the dilemma. One was for the President
to ignore the bowling of the republican ad-
vocates of a popular loan and all other
persons joining in the outcry against the
so-called dark lantern deal" with the
syndicate. 1t was further suggested that
instead of making a loan of 800 000 900. the
loan should be made $500 600 900 which from
a political standpoint, would relieve the
present administration from further en-
barrassment on the financial question and
leave the incoming administration to
walk the floor and suggest a remedy or
solution OF the problem, which is now as
complicated as 1t was before congress as
sembled.
1t is said that the President could not
see his way clear to act upon such advice
and then the other alternative was
brought forward. 1t was shown that
the republicans in the Senate, backed up
by a portion of the press, were bowling
about a popular loan and the eagerness
with which the people of the country
would rush forward and subscribe to the
bonds to any amount several times in ex-
cess of the $780, ,000 1t was said that
in view of past experiences in dealing
with bond issues the advocates of q pop
ular loan were making grand bluff"
II was proposed to "calP' the bluff and
that course was suddenly agreed upon.
This is said to be the true history OF the
midnight call for bonds given out by Sec
retary Carlisle last Sunday. 1t Is insist
ed that the proposed loan will be a sue
cess to the extent that every dollars
worth of bonds will be subscribed for,
but it Is reasonable to suppose that the
syndicate will have an equal chance to
bid for the bonds with all the other com
petitors If the syndicate offers to take
the whole amount at terms equal to other
bidders there is nothing to prevent the
Secretary of the Treasury from accepting
the syndicate's bid.

Plunged INTO A CREEK.
Three Men Fatally Injured by the
COLLAPSE OF "a Bridge.

Cleveland, o.. Jan. 9.--The Akron, Bed
ford and. Cleveland Inter-Urban Railway
Company's bridge, which spanned the
Thinkers Creek. just outside of Bedford
township, collapsed shortly after daylight
this morning and a powerful one hundred
horse power motor on which three train
men, and attached to which was a heavily
laden Pennsylvania Company's coal car,
plunged to the bed of the creek, 60 feet
below. William Young, one of the train
men, was instantly killed. He was crush
ed and ground beneath the falling cars.
The other two trainmen, Haymaker and
Gieb, miraculousy escaped instant death.
They We're both so badly injured, how
ever, that Haymaker died soon after the
accident and Gieb's death Is momentariy
expected.
Fortunately there were no passengers on
the train, the regular passenger car hav-
ing passed over the bridge a few moments
before the structure collapsed.
The train that took the frightful plunge
was work train. It's weight was tremen-
dous as compared with the ordinary mo-
tor for which the bridge was designed.
The bridge that collapsed was frail tres-
tie structure. The span that crossed the
creek was about 175 feet long, and the
train was just about in the center of this
span when the structure opened up as
though Il were made of card board and al
lowed the train with it's human freight to
plunge into the raVine below.

sILvERITE CHANCES sHAKY.
The Free Coinage BiII May BE De-
fented In the Senate.

Washington, Jan. "a very careful
canvass Of the Senate on the free coinage
substitute to the House bond bill has been
made, and it is claimed as a result of
that canvass that the majority in the
Senate in favor Of free coinage at this
time will be exceedingly small. Some of
the so-called Sound money men so so
far as to say that It may possibly be de-
feated. A conference was held yesterday
by Mr.. German and Mr.. Gray, represent
ing the anti-silver men on the democratic
side of the chamber, and Mr.. Aldrch on
the republican side. These three men
ment over the situation in a thorough
manner and came to the conclusion that
there was a good reason to regard the
passage of a free coinage bill al this time
as a matter about which there is some
doubt. Those decline TO mention any
names, but it IS given out that there are
twenty-six or twenty-seYen republicans
who win vote against the substitute and
fourteen democrats, making a total of
forty or forty ty-one-within three or four of
a majority against the bill. The figures
given are claimed to comprise a list of
votes about which there is no doubt, they
think, and that sufficient doubtful votes
may yet be won over to defeat the bill.

ENGLISH SPORTING LITERATURE

About One-Sixth of the English Periodi-
 calls Are Devoted to Sport.
 It may give some idea of the place of sport in English life to the sedentary American to say that is difficult to find an Englishman between IS and 65, in fair health, and not supported by the rates, who is not performer at some kind of sport or interested in some phase of it. Of the 673 reviews and magazines of nonreligious character printed in England, says the Forum, one in six is largely devoted to some form of out-of-door sport or occupation.
 Between 1880 and 1885, according to private index kept in the British mu- scum, there were 266 books published on the one subject of sport or athletics; between 1885 and 1890, 412, and, al though the figures for the last five years are not at hand, the number of books on the same subjects promises to De even larger, almost forty books on golf alone appearing during the last five years. Nor does this list include books on topics germain to the subject, such as books dealing with voyages, geography, history, biography and trade, of which there were 73S pub lished in London in 1893, and probably more than thousand during the last year.
 In a word, John Bull loves the fresh air. He is a sportsman, an athlete, a soldier, sailor, traveller, a colonist, rather than student, and all the fig ures bear me out in making the state ment. During those horrible days in the Crimea, these sport-loving young barbarians" were ''all at play" when they were not fighting; racing their ponies, getting up cricket matches, and off shooting such game as there was. One family-the Pelhams-have hunted the Brocklesby pack of hounds for more than 175 years.

THE FORMIDABLE UMBRELLA.
A French Tragedian Finds It Mightier
 Than the Sword.


 7 The affection of the collector for the objects of his zeal has been amusingly illustrated by story told of Melingue, a French tragedian who had mania for gathering together great quantities of old vestments, arms and similar an- tique apparatus. Among his treasures was a beautiful and keen-edged sword which had belonged to Philip H., son of Emperor Charles V.
 Having worn this sword in piece in which be was performing, Melingue was making his way homeward in Paris one night. The weather was rainy, and he carried an umbrella. Under his cloak he bore the precious sword of Philip II.
 Coming around a corner, Melingue was suddenly menaced by two sneak thieves. He was an expert fencer, and knew that with the sword he could quickly beat the rascals off. But he said to himself:
 "What! Betray to these rascals that I have such precious possession? No! They might be too much for me, after all, and then they would get it. will keep it out of sight"
 So saying, he placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword inside his cloak, and with the other hand let down his umbrella. With this as a weapon, he assaulted the footpads with such force and spirit that he put them to flight.
 In this case the umbrella turned out to be mightier than the sword.
