and silver bullion for money; isit prac- tical? Can they be made an invariable double standard for the measurement of values?n He answers these ques- tions in the affirmative, and says that Mir. Windom suggested the basis of the plan which he elaborates. Mir. Boies concludes his letter thus:
 It is said no plan of that character would be in accord with the Chicago platform That is true. But the Chicago platform has had it's day in court before the tribunal of last resort Must democrats be expected to adhere to 1t for everY The objection is at variance with the whole theory of our form of government. If a valid election would seftle nothing, majorities would csase to rule. and when political issue was once joined the warfare over it would go on until one or the other of the parties to it was totally amin Hated.

About 4:30 o'clock this morning Eli Shaw, a son of Mrs Shaw, appeared at a third-story window of the house and began shouting for the police at the top of his voice. Officers soon ap- peared and found that the two women had been shot, probably by burglars. Shaw said that he was awakened shortly after four o'clock by pistol shot. He made his way down stairs and at the bottom of the third-story stairs found his mother bleeding and unconscious. He ran to the window and gave the alarm. Mrs. Kane was found sitting in q chair in the sitting room dead with bullet wound i1 iier head. Mrs. Shaw was at once removed to the Cooper hospital, where she died in few nj h scs with out making any statement. An exam ination of the house showed that a rear shutter had been forced open and bureau drawer on the second floor had been ransacled.

SERIOUS TROUBLE IMmINENT.
Race War in Schools at Alton, ILL, Breaks
 Out With Renewed yigor.

Race War in Schools at Alton, H., Breaks
 Out With Renewed vigor.
 ALTON, H., Oct 1s.-The race war at the Alton public schools broke out afresh yesterday morning. Last week the colored people ceased sending their children to the schools for the whites, supposedly awaiting decision from the courts. The police guards. accord ingly, were withdrawn. Yesterday morning the colored children ap- peared, and with a rush overpowered the janitor, struck the lady principal down and took seats in school The police were summoned and ejected them, and school was held the rest of the day with the police guarding the doors. The board of education will this week appoint a truant officer, who will attempt to make the colored chil- dren attend the schools especially set apart for them. Serious trouble seems imminent, as the colored parents are persistent in sending their children to the white schools.

COMING REPORTS.
What the Heads of Government De-
 partments Will Recommend.
THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION
Interest in the Problem Likely to He Greas- CT In the Present Congress Than in the Last--Undesirabie Immigrants
 May Be Kept Out.

WASHINGTON. Oct. ls.-The reports now being prepared by the heads of the various departments of the govern ment are expected to contain some in- teresting recommendations to con- gress. From the treasury department some suggestions on the currency ques- tion are looked for. The postmaster general as is we'll known, will make a feature of postal savings banks. From the war and navy departments there are expected some interesting data and recommendations regarding forti- fications and naval equipment. The Hawaiian and Cuban questions will probably figure in the presidents mes sage, and from the department of jus tice may come suggestions touching matters that have been before it this summer. One of the ideas which Sec retary Wilson, of the agricultural de partment, will advance in his report is that of having agricultural attaches at United States embassies and legations in Europe, just as mili- tary and naval attaches are now de- tailed to some of these stations.
 Interest in the immigration question is likely to be greater in the present congress than it was in the last. The recent troubles in the Pennsylvania aoai regions nave attracted great deal of attention to certain foreign elements that have gained entrance to this country The bill which President Cleveland vetoed just prior to going out of office will be revived and proba- bly made much stronger. The princi- pal feature of this bill was the educa- tional test, which. it is claimed. would keep out almost all of the undesirable immigrants and not affect more than five per cent. of those coming from Great Britain, Germany, Norway and Sweden and other European countries that furnish an intelligent, hard working and desirable class of immi- grants, who come here with the inten- tion of becoming citizens of the United States" T. v. Powderlv, commissioner general of immigration, has long been convinced that the character of thou sands of Europeans who come to the United States is such that stringent laws should be passed to keep them out. He is now in position to ad- vance his ideas with the probability of their receiving attention, and it is lilxe- ly that he will make recommendations in his report to the secretary of the treasury.
