RUSSELL SAGE TALKS.
The Fin ancier Thinks the Republican
Party Will Meet the Issue.

New York, June 6.-Russell Sage said
today Of the recent developments in
the free silver sections of the country:
THE proven strength of the cause Of
the white metal is, I must confess,
surprise to the east. Yet the result in
Kentucky and promised results in some
other states furnish the most cOnvinc-
iEg proof of the wisdom and statesman
ship Of Governor Mckinley in declin-
ing to come out with any manifesto of
his opinions on the money and other
questions to supplant his already clear
and open record. Sound money and
party prospects might have been ruin
ed.
THE representatives of the party
win pronounce for the best money to
be had and Major Mckinley viii stand
unwaveringly on the platform. As mat
ters have happened, it viii not be
surprise if the Democrats at Chicago
nominate Teller. The Republican states
in the west do not, however wish to
leave the party. Even Colorado would
not follow her senator, I believe
by taking no part in preliminary
political chickering's Major Mckinley
has helped to hold the party to its
principles and when a majority of its
members have declared in line with
their past record of safety. the whole
party viii pull together and come into
control

GOES TO THE FRISCO
Vice President ID. B. Robinson
Of the Santa Fe
Is Called to the Presidency Of
the st. L. & ST.
His Resignation Ray Mean Much to
Many Employees Of the Road

D. B. Robinson has accepted the pres
idency of the ST. Louis & san Francisco
railway. and viii undoubtedly resign
his position as first vice president of
the Santa Fe.
The presidency of the Frisco has
been vacant since the resignation Of
John w. Reinhart, in September, 1894.
Shortly afterwards Aldace T. Walker
and John J. AIcCook were appointed re-
ceivers and operated the road up to the
time of the sale of the Santa Fe. At
that time Mr.. Walker retired, leaving
the operation of the road to the direc-
ton of John J. McCOok. Several months
ago the Frisco separated from the San
ia F'e and commenced a plan Of reorgan
ization. This plan Will probably be COM
pleted and made known in a few days.
From what Information has been re-
ceived at the Santa Fe general offices
in this city. the date on which Mr.. Rob
insOn's resignation viii go into effect
is not known. General Manager Frey
stated today that he knew absolutely
nothing concerning the matter, and did
not even know that Mr.. Robinson
would resign.
The retirement of D. B. Robinson
from the management of the Santa Fe
is not q surprise to railroad men ac-
quainted with Santa F'e affairs. There
is but little doubt that his acceptance
0A the D4GaAlEAlCy OIL the IlSCO is q
case where the Office did not altogether
seek the man. MT Robinson fully ex-
pected to be chosen president of the
new Santa Fe company, and the cleo
tton OF AIr. Ripley was a severe blow.
The appointment of c. N. HigginsOn
as assistant TO the president with the
right to Investigate all departments
did not tend to make Mr.. RObinson's
position more pleasant, as MI Higgin-
son could not perform the duties for
which he was appointed without in
some degree interfering with the work
of the first vice president.
To a large number of men connected
with the Santa Fe, both in official and
minor positions, the retirement of Mr.
Robinson is of much importance. Mr.
Robinson has been with the Santa Fe
for years. and many of the company EN-
plOyes have held their positions alto
gether through his efforts AS the man
agement viii be composed entirely of
new men after his retirement. a num-
Der of changes may be reasonably ex-
pected. Much uneasiness is already be-
ing felt by the Santa Fe men in this
city.

Robinson as first vice president. moth

A CHANGE AT THE JAIL.
Old Officials Retained But Given DIFF
ferent Departments.
Sheriff r. B. Kepley has determined

Sheriff r. 3. kepley has determined
on rearranging his force of deputies.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Leech is to be
transferred to the position of jailer, and
Jailer Larry Sheehan viii take Leech 8
place as deputy sheriff. This change
will go into effect Monday.
Another change viii be the employ
ment of a night Waterman, who viii
stay up all night and make regular
rounds. Frank Whitaker has been
chosen for this position, and took his
first turn last night This Will be done
next week
Sheriff Kepley has always had one
more man than any OF the former
sheriffs- With the addition Of Mr.
Whitaker the sheriff now has two ex-
ira men, but as the pay comes out OF
his own pocket, it is immaterial to the
county how many men he has.
Frank Leech has made an excellent
deputy sheriff, and there is every rea-
son to suppose that he win be as good
a jailer-
Larry Sheehan is a courageous man.
He should do good work as a deputy
Sheriff.
This shake up" of his force by Sher-
if Kepley may be considered mild con
sidering the prOvocatiOn he has had.
Nothing has been learened of the
whereabouts of Weyman Clark and w
s. Childs, the two prisoners who broke
jail Thursday night. 1t seems prOba-
BILE that Childs viii be recaptured, how
ever. as he is an old man and not in a
condition to rough it. The sheriff is
depending on rewards, descriptions and
kilograms to intercept the prisoners.
