Senator Teller Denies a False
Report Most Emphatically.
That Coinage of American Sill
YER Could Have Been Had.
NEVER SUCH A TIME.
Congress and Conventions Have
Refused Even That.
Mckinley Was Never Friendly
to Silver He Says.

Denver, Colo, Sept. 3.-During the
past few years Senator Teller's enemies
have industriously circulated the re-
port that if the senior Colorado sena-
tor and his silver colleagues had been
willing to accept it they cauld have Sc
cured the coinage of the American
silver product.
Since the announcement of the can
didacy of Maj. Mckinley, and espec-
tally since his nomination, his Colorado
friends have been particular jealous
in circulating the story, some of them
even going so far as to intimate that
they have the information from Major
Mckinley himself. In reply to an in
quiry concerning the matter, Senator
Teller has written the following let
ter:
Denver. Colo, Aug. Pc. NJ Am,
mons, Symes, Colo, Dear Sir:-In re-
ply to yours of August %, in which you
ask the question, If, in 1890, when the
Mckinley bill was passed, the silver
men could have secured the coinage OF
the American product" is at hand.
This story has been industriously cir
culated throughout the west during
the last two years. There is not one
word of truth in the statement There
never has been a time when the pass
age of such a bill could have been Sc
cured through either house of con-
gress. The free coinage Of the Ameri-
can product was always weaker in
both bodies than the unlimited coinage
There never has been a president
since I have been in public life who
would have signed a. bill for the coin
age of the American product, nor has
there been a time when such a vote
could have been had in either house Of
congress.
At St. Louis there was introduced in
the committee on resolutions after
they had voted down the free coinage,
a provision for the coinage of the Amer
lean product, but it received exactly
the same number of votes and the same
NUMBER OF negative votes against IT
that the unlimited coinage of silver did.
Those who state that there has been d
time when the free coinage of the
American product could have been Sc
cured are either grossly ignorant or
very wicked. Mr.. Mckinley has never
at any time favored the coinage Of the
American product, and his letter of ac-
ceptance shows that he is not friendly
to any legislation favorable to silver.
Yours truly,
H. NJ. TELLER.

at the Ezeeting, However.

New York, Sept. 3.-James ]. Corbett
met Sharkey's manager W. J. Lynch
yesterday afternoon. Sharkey and
Fitzsimmons, whom he had expected
was in Chicago and no one seemed to
know where Fitz was. The meeting
was without effect.
W. K. Wheelock, representing Dan
Stuart Of Texas, stated to a reporter
of the Associated Press that he was in
no way connected with the offer made
by New York parties for the Corbett-
Sharkey fight in the vicinity Of this
city. Mr.. Stuart will, however make
an offer at the proper time for a fight
between Corbett and Sharkey, but it
will not take place in the vicinity of

BAREFOOT IN THE GRASS.
New Sect Which Claims Hygienic
Effects Therefrom.

New York, Sept. 9.-The board of
park commissioners has returned from
a well earned vacation to meet rather
serious question of feet-the bare feet
of a new sect or verein, known as the
Kneippers or grasshoppers-
The Kneippers have formed an assoc
citation and claim great hygienic ben
eft from doing breakdowns and prom
enading bare footed on wet lawns be-
fore sun rise and after Sol sets Since
dew is scarce on the pavements and
the police only allow street urchins to
go about bare footed, the Kneippers
made formal application to the park
commissioners to set apart for their
use some portion of Central park in
which they could practice their unus-
ual branch of therapeutics.
The matter was referred to Superin-
tendent of Parks Parsons and he today
made his report, President Cruger and
Commissioners Stiles, Ely and NcNIil-
Ian being present.
The board granted permission to the
Kneippers to try the effect Of the north
meadow on their feet for one week,
and if the results were not as beneficial
as expected. they would then give them
another spot where the grass is lon
ger and the dew stronger.

M'KINLEY'S MASS OF MAIL.
Yesterday He Was Flooded With
Telegrams About Vermont

Canton. O., Sept 3.-Ever since
Mai. Mckinley returned to Canton
from Columbus he has received at his
home an immense volume of mail and
Geographic matter.
But the conditions this week were
more than at any time. Heavy as was
the flood of kilograms and letters IN
his nomination, it does not approach
that which has followed his letter of
acceptance
The mail cannot longer be handled in
the ordinary manner of neatly tied
packs but is now delivered in sacks
and the number of kilograms were
they counted would be surprising in
the highest degree
Such time as can be spared from call
ers and visiting delegations is being de-
voted by the major to personally at
tend to these messages He has signed
as high as 1850 letters of acknowledge
ment in one evening, and still those re-
curing attention continue to accumu-
late. Yesterday came a flow Of tele-
grams on the result in Vermont which
everywhere in Republican circles seems
to be accepted as a true index of the
result of the November election. A
few of the kilograms on this subject
follow:
Senator RedfeId Proctor of Yer
mont: Vermont verifies the nonina-
ton of our party candidate. Cam
paign too short to make it unanimous
but was rapidly travelling that way
John G. Mccullough, North Benning-
ton: Vermont though satisfied to
scotch the snake, has killed it out
right The November landslide is al
ready here"
Gov. Woodbury. of Vermont wired
from Burlington: The free men of
Vermont send greetings of 35. 900 major
ity to you, the exponent of protection.
prosperity and sound money. Vermont
has set the pace. Let the column be
kept well closed up"
J. H Manley wired from Augusta
Me: Vermont has covered herself
with glory Maine does not propose to
be outdone by Vermont"

MARK HANNA'S DAUGHTER.
The Young Miss of 10 Rides Horse
back Daily, Astride Like Boy.

Cleveland, Sept. 8.-The daughter of
Mare Hanna can be seen almost daily
on Lake avenue on spirited horse.
When one first sees her coming along
the road at a smart trot he thinks she
is a good looking boy. She rides a bay
horse and her clothes are cut so that
the discovery that she is a girl causes
surprise. One of the suits she wears
is of fawn-colored stuff. The breaches
are of the regulation riding style, loose
and full at the hips, gradually narrow
ing down to a close fit at the knees.
Below them she wears CATERS of the
same color. Her jacket is a sort of
semi cutaway of the same color, and,
opening at the neck. reveals a stiff shirt
and collar and a jauntily tied necktie.
She wears her hair brushed up tight to
the top Of her head and on it has
derby hat of the same color as her
suit. So close is her resemblance to
boy that if one does not look closely he
will not discover his mistake
Miss Hanna is 16 years old, of medi-
UNI height, slight in build and blonde in
complexion She has ridden astride
since she was a little girl.

A CAMPAIGN LABEL.
Latest Scheme of the Gold Standard
Managers.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Within the last
few days the Republican campaign
managers have distributed thousands
of copies of a label for use IN their
campaign of education to the people
on the currency question.
On this label, over the signature Of
the Republican candidate for president
is conspicuously printed an extract
from the Ohio platform: THE Republi-
can party stands for honest money and
the chance to earn it, written by Nc
Kinley before his nomination and at
time when he sought to evade a specific
declaration of his attitude These Ia
beIs are placed in the hands of grocers
and merchants, who place them on
every package of merchandise that they
sell, the purpose being the deception OF
+he neoDIe as to the abundant reward in
store for them by the continuance of
the gold standard and restoration OF
the protective tariff.
This method of campaign education
is to be employed all over the coun-
try.

MRS. OTIS STARTS IT.
A Movement for the Erection of a
Monument to Mrs. Stowe.

The Woman's Progressive Political
league, which held a picnic at the Otis
farm yesterday afternoon, started a
fund to erect a monument to Harriet
Beecher Stowe at Washington.
The subject was suggested by Mrs.
Otis and a dozen ladies who were pres

tends to receive contributions and do
all possible to furnish a substantial nu-
cleuS for the fund.
The league had set aside the day for

author Of Uncle Toms Cabin and it
was after the programme had been dis
posed of that Mrs. Otis made the sug-
gestion which led to the movement to

New York. Sept. 9.@One of the
staunchest supporters of Candidate
Bryan in this city is Gerrit Smith Stan
ton, son of Mrs. Eliza beth Cady Stan
ton, the well known advocate of woman
suffrage.
Mr.. Stanton was one of the first to
send a congratulatory telegram to Mr.
Bryan after his nomination; in his safe
he has the nominees letter of thanks,
and as the door of his Office in the Mills
building opens to the caller he discov-
ers a handsomely framed portrait of
the Democrats standard bearer.
A lifelong Republican, the trustee and
agent of several large estates, the agent
through which many capitalists here
and in Europe invest their money in
this country, a lawyer whose habit is
to consider matters Of national import
ance in a calm dispassionate manner,
Mr.. Stanton laughs to Scorn the buga-
boo held forth by Mr.. Bryan's Oppo-
nents-that with his election the fin
anceS of the country will go to smash.
1t is because of Mr. Bryan's stand as
an anti mOnOpOliSt and a bimeta1lista
that Mr.. Stanton decided to give him
heard OF his change of views she COM

take the stump in behalf of the candi-
