gre . for Rom o1etizing silver.
J;uda.l'esth. Sept. 20. is90.--'rhe nm
dersigncd members Of the international
agricultural congress Mt Buda-i'csth de-
sire to put ON record the following
facts:
lD Thnt during the three lays de-
bate not one speaker has denied that
: the depression in agriculture results
from the pheuomenally low prices OF all
the products of agriculture.
t2) That the connection between the
currency ind ograrinn issues has been
Utmost unanimously affirmed by the
representatives of agriculture at this
congress.
30 That the great majority OF the
speakers, independently OF their cur
rency views. confirm the opinion of the
leading agricultural authorities, that
there Is no over-production in cereals;
and. therefore. the fall OF prices cannot
be referred to uver-production.
80 That every gold monometallist
speaker has admitted that bimetallism
would raise the price of agricultural
produce.
(5) That no gold monometallist hns
tised the argument. which used TO pref
.udicc the position OF the blmetallists-
namely. that the restoration of silver
to legal tender is device of indebted
O. landowners who wish to pay their cred
,tors In deprecated currency.
The undersigned are convinced that
the existing crisis IN agriculture can be
arrested by an international settlement
or the currency question. and they
therefore are of the opinion that II Is
the first duty of the various govern
ments TO cooperate without delay, so
as TO secure settlement Of the eur
rency aud exchange trouble.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 27.-Four
masked highwaymen made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to hold up an electric
car midway between this city and Inde-
pendence at midnight last night. The
leader, Oscar Bridges, said to be
bridge and parachute jumper, was
caught and brought to this city o-day.
He gave the names of his companions
as Eugene Rigeway, barber, and Ern-
est Rigeway, professional high diver,
both of Sheffield, a suburb near the
scene of the hold-up, and James Repine,
whose home is in Centropolis, suburb
of this city.
A saloonkeeper has given information
which makes 1T almost positive that the
men are the gang which held up a
west bound Chicago and Alton train
just outside Independence month ago.
The electric car was filled with theater
goers, and when 1t reached lonely spot
Bridges jumped on the rear platform,
went through to the a front end and
thrust revolver in the motorman's
face. Another robber entered the rear
door, and was in the act of ordering the
passengers to hold up their hands, when
the conductor threw him from the car.
The motorman was able to start his car,
and the other robbers, who were to have
covered the conductor, escaped to the
woods with the third man.
Bidges was fighting with the motor
man, who was aided by some male pas
sengers, while the women screamed in
fright and tainted. Bridges was finally
overcome without firing shot, and the
car proceeded to Independence.

CLEVELAND TO 60 TO PRINCETON
The New Jersey Village to be the
Presidents Future Home.

PRINCETON IN. J), Nov. 2-Pro-
fessor Andrew West of the University
returned this afternoon from Washing
ton, where he had been laying the
claims of Princeton as a place for a
residence before President Cleveland.
Professor West, when seen this even
ing, authorized the following statement
for publication: President Cleveland
has to-day purchased the residence OF
Mrs. Slidell on Bayard avenue, in
Princeton, and will make Princeton his
permanent home soon after the expira-
ton Of his term as President. Negotia-
tions looking to this end have been in
progress for about three weeks, and
were consummated to-day by the pur-
chase of the property"
A number of reasons have attracted
President and Mrs. Cleveland to Prince
ton. The Presidents father was edu
Gated for the Presbyterian ministry
here The quiet home life of the place,
its healthfulness, it's convenience to
New York, the attraction of univer-
sity society, as well as other reasons
have been influential in his decision.
The actual purchase price of the prop
erty could not be learned tonight, but
1T is generally understood that the
President paid between $4,000 and
$50, 900 for it. The property is beauti-
fully located in the western part of the
village, and overlooks a picturesque
stretch of farming country three or

Brooklyn were at the Bartholdi to see
