A MODIFIED FORCE BILL.
A Kentucky Representatives Bill for
 Honest Elections in the South.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Representative Gibson, rep, of Tennessee, introduced a bill to-day of especial interest. It is designed to prevent and punish all frauds in elections of representatives to congress, It punishes all acts by registrars that tend to defeat fair reg istration or deprive a voter of the ben efits of registration. It prohibits the officer who prepares the official ballots from so printing the names of the can- didates as to mislead the voters. It punishes all frauds committed by off, cers of elections, either in holding elec- tons or In making a return of the re- suits.
 It also punishes all persons who, in any way, aid or abet registrars or off, cers of elections in perpetrating these frauds. Conviction for these offences is punishable by a fine of not more than $1,0O00 or imprisonment not exceeding three years, or both.
 In speaking respecting his bill. MT. Gibson said: q do not desire an enact- ment of the old force bill. We republi- cans of the south are satisfied with the present methods, but we want them honestly enforced. My bill simply re- quires that the state laws shall be properly enforced. Under present con- ditions, it is impossible to put the crirn- inal machinery of our laws in operation without prosecutors and public senti- ment back of the prosecutors.
 '1f we can carry the eases to the United States courts their trial will be an easy matter. I am satisfied that in the last election gross frauds were committed in Maryland, West Virginia, Delaware, Kentucky and Tennessee. have the authority of a distinguished southern democrat that Mckinley car ried Tennessee and was counted out"

PHorECrIrE T4nIrE FOR ENGLAND
Meeting of Commoners Who Are Opposed
 to Free Trade.

to Free Trade.
 London, Dec. 10.-Right Hon. James Lowther, M, P, presided over sparse- ly attended conference of protectiOnists in St. James hall to-day Among those present were Commoners How arth, Disrael, Seton-Ka and Sandys. MT. LoWther addressed the conference, and in the course of his remarks laid great stress upon the statements that Wilfred Laurier prime minister of the Dominion of Canada, had promised not to interfere with the protective policy of Canada. The last general election there, he said, was a definite settlement of the Canadian policy in the direction of protection.
 MT. LoWther said that he was as strongly opposed to the ruin of Eng land by Manitoba wheat as by Min nesota wheat, and declared that 1t was no longer true that the masses in Eng land were opposed to any imposition of duties. MT. Lowther explained that between 2,5000 and 5000, 1000 acres of land lad been elbowed out of cereal production in England, amounting to 130, ,000 000 pounds worth of imports, the most of which could be produced here. He was in favor of a duty of per cent. on wheat, which, he said, would yield a revenue of F. 100000 pounds, yet only raising the price of bread for a full grown man 3s 91ad year,
 Sir Henry Hoyle Howarth, M. P, a we'll known writer on financial and po- litical subjects, submitted resolutions in favor of such a change in the govern mental policy as would secure to the country never failing supply of food, and, by means of the establishment of preferential duties between the mother country and her colonies, secure mar kets for British manufacturers.
 He declared that preaching to the free traders of Great Britain was preaching to deaf ears, and held that the only effective means of securing the objects of the conference was to make matters extremely uncomfortable for the free traders.
 Continuing, he dwelt at length upon the conditions created by foreign com- petition, dwelling upon the inroads made upon British trade by German manufacturers, and said that under the existing free trade policy there was nothing for the English Workingman to do but to dig his own grave, using a foreign made spade for the purpose, and then to be buried in a coffin made in Germany or some other foreign country.
 Lord Masham of the silk manufact- uring firm of Cudliffe X Lister of Brad ford also addressed the conference. In the course of his remarks he paid a tribute to Sir Charles Tupper, recently Canadian high commissioner in Lon don, who, he said, was the originator of the idea of preferential trade with the colonies. He quoted statistics to prove that the British export trade had shown no increase during the past thirty years and he said that the for efgn trade of Germany in that time showed an increase of upwards of 35,- 900, 0OOf.
 A number of resolutions declaring in favor of preferential duties were unan- imously adopted, as was also a resolu- tion favoring the establishment of pro- tection leagues throughout Great Brit ain.

REJECTS HW4NG TSUN HSIEN.
The Chinese Minister Persona Non Grata
 at the Berlin Court.

Berlin, Dec 1O-The foreign office has notified the Chinese government that Hwang Tsun Hsien, who was recently appointed Chinese minister to Ger many, is not persona grata to the Ger man government. The ground of Ger many's objection at Hwang Tsun Hsien is that he is not of sufficiently high rank, and that China had not consulted the foreign office regarding his appoint ment. It is said that in the note to the Chinese government the foreign office cites as a precedent the action taken by China some time ago In making objec- tion to the appointment of MT. Blair as American minister to China, the Chinese government holding that he was persona non grata because of his criticism in the United States senate of China and the Chinese.

Will Proceed to the Work mt Once.
 Washington, Dec. 10.-The committee on ways and means will go to work at once to prepare tariff bill. This was the conclusion reached by the republi- can members of the committee at a conference tonight, called by Chair man Dingley All of the republican republicans were present except Major Steele of Indiana, who was unavoidably detained.
 The conclusion reached was the unanimous expression of the members present.

The first meeting of the committee will be held Saturday morning, at which time, if all the democratic members are pres ent, the details of the hearings, the time when they shall begin, etc, will be agreed upon.
 In case Judge Turner of Georgia, the ranking member of the minority of the Cimmittee, should not be able to be present on Saturday, the meeting of the full committee will be postponed until he can attend. So far as the members of the committee know, no person has yet been selected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of ex-Speaker Crisp, and the republican members of the committe stated tonight that they had heard nc names mentioned in con nection with the appointment, except that MT. Newlands of Nevada.
 This determination of the republican members, of course, presuppOses the calling of an extra session of congress shortly after the inauguration of Pres ident- elect Mckinley, but after the ad- iournment of the conference tNey all dfsclaimed any direct knowledge upon the subject from the only source which could make the extra session a fact.

B0NDSF0R BRIDGE BUILDING
BOARD OF FINANCE WILL RECOM-
 MEND IN ISSUE OF S25O,OOO.

Tho City's Approaches Not in Safe Con
 dition-Harbor Commissioners Want a
 New Bridge at Chapel Street and Mill
 River-Present Structures Dangerous
 Yale Field Cars to Run Over West River.
 The main features of the meeting of the board of finance yesterday after noon were the discussion of the needs of the cityin the matter of new bridges, and the final vote to recommend to the court of common council that the city be bonded in S25O,OOO to meet the expenses of building the same.
 The vote was in accordance with the report of the toard to the court of common council. The Chapel street railroad bridge, which will require $45OOO of the recommendation, is or dered by the court, and there is no doubt as to its being favored by the court of common council.
 The bonds have already been recom- mended for the bridge
 The board took a trip last week over the Mill River bridge at Chapel street and gave it close inspection, The harbor commissioners were given 8 hearing on the question of a new bridge, At a former meeting a long list of names praying that the structure be built immediately was supported by the city engineer and the officials of the Fair Haven and Westville Street Rail- way company. The bridge was report | ed to be in a bad condition. The har- | bor commission claimed that the draw was not large enough to admit of the safe passage of the craft that made regular trips through it. The tour of 1 inspection taken by the board of ti- 1 nance confirmed the reports that had l been given them by the parties inter- ested and it was determined that the new bridge was a necessity. The estl- | mated cost of the new structure is 1 $50, 900.
 1 The running of the Fair Haven and | Westville cars to Yale field, as is con- 1 templated by the company, necessitates q new bridge over West river on Derby
 
 will cost s10000.
 | The Edgewood avenue bridge, which 1 was included in the new bridge scheme 1 of the board of finance, as reported to | the aldermen on Monday evening, will | not require immediate attention, hence 1 the SS000 estimated for the city's half | of the expense for building the struc- 1 ture was not included in this recom- mendation. Orange street bridge,N which ! is recommended, will cost S30 GOO i Thirty thousand dollars more will be l used for repairing the west span and retaining wall of the Tomlinson bridge. l This is considered a necessity by the 1 board. The cost of these new struc- lures will be about $265, 900, but $35 GOO 1 of this is already provided for in the 1 spring, for the Quinnipiac bridge, which 1 is being built at the present time. 1 Barnesville bridge, west span, needs repairing. but the board decided to wait until a new bridge was ordered by | the war department, which the board | thinks will be at an early date. The bridge will be a draw when built.
 Neither the Washington street nor the Kimberly avenue bridges will be in cluded in the estimates,as these bridges are in good repair.
 A trestle bridge will be built in Will low street, which will cost about $1O,- 000

TO CONVENE THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
Governor WoIcott Prohibits the Granting
 of Licenses in Residence Districts.


 of Licenses in Residence Districts.
 Boston, Dec. Ex-Governor Wolcots has interfered in the policy of the police board of Boston with reference 10 the granting of liquor licenses in the sub- urban residence districts of this city, or the transfer to these sections of H. censes from other districts and has written letter to the board, (which Is appointed by the governor), in which he practically calls a halt in this de- cision. The result is that no more saloons will be placed in the outlying wards of the city at present. The gov- ernor is evidently dissatisfied with the course of two members of the board Messrs Clark and Curtis-in granting such licenses and transfers. General Martin, the chairman of the board of three commissioners, has invariably op- posed all grants of this kind.

THE TRUE GOSPEus


The Shibboleth That WIN Inspire True
Financial Patriots to Victory.
The senate substitute for the house
bond bill, if it could only become a
law, would change the gloom of agri-
cultural and business prostration as if
touched by the wand of Prosperous
The bond bill and the senate substi-
tute are from two opposite schools of
finance. One is the school of the money
king and leads to extreme wealth for
the few and poverty and want for the
millions; the other opens up the
pathway of independence to all who
are wise and Industrious and lifts the
weight of poverty from the masses of
the land. One leads to low prices for
all the products of toll and low wages
for the labor of the world, the other
secures prices commensurate with the
true value of mans industry and skill
One is the school of the purse proud
and the oppressor, the other is the
school of humanity, basing its teach
ings upon the wisdom and experience
of mankind.
The senate substitute restores silver
to its constitutional pedestal as
money metal 1t opens up the mints
to its coinage upon an equality with
gold. 1t gives to it what the trainers
of the constitution and the first Amer
lean congress conferred upon it, and
that which they secured to it for the
first SO years of the nations life 1t
supplies the treasury with ample con-
stitutional money-the money of the
contracts under which all bonds were
sold and paper money issued, and it
provides against contraction of the
currency by requiring the reissue of
the greenbacks when exchanged for
coin.
The bill for the free coinage of sill
yer, the coinage of the silver seignior-
age and the redemption Of greenbacks
with silver equally with gold will be
the platform upon which all true pa
triots will unite in the pending presi-
Dental struggle and it will be the
shibboleth that will inspire them to
victory. Denver News.
