CHIEF BUSINESS OF CONGRESS
NEXT WINTER.
Secretary Gage Will Draw Up and
Present TO the Solons a Bill Hav-
ing the Approval of the Admin
istration.

Chicago, June pa special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
The currency reform is to be the chief
business of congress next winter. Pres
ident Mckinley has decided fully that
he viii not send to congress at this
session a message suggesting the Gre
alton of a currency commission, as he
had intended a short time since. In
stead of a commission to investigate
the subject and report to congress, an
administration bill is to be drawn and
presented to congress next winter
The preparation of this measure is to
be the special work of Secretary Gage,
but he is TO have the assistance of
Comptroller Eckels and of number
of other officials and public men who
are close students of the currency and
banking problem.
This measure, when prepared, is 10

ter receiving his approval. will go to
Speaker Reed and to a number of lead
ing Republican senators. If any of
these have serious objections to its de-
tails, an effort VIII he made to harmon
ize all the differences so that when the
work of passing it through congress is
entered upon, there may be no delays
through Republican dissensions.

best and most progressive state of the
science of banking and currency. And
an effort will be made to put the ma

system upon a thorough modern and
scientific basis.
There Will be ample provision for a
safe and elastic credit currency on

Canada, or to that recommended in
what is known as the Baltimore plan.

The veXinG problem of what to do

whenever. exporters of foreign bankers

of the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus
train, having on board the EMPLOYEES
of the Goodrich Rubber company, the
Diamond Rubber company and the Ak
ron India Rubber company, ran into
Baltimore & Ohio engine at Millers-
burg this morning. 1t was not intended
that the excursion train should stop
at Millersburg, and it was going
through the town at a high rate Of
speed when the engineer discovered a
Baltimore & Ohio train on the track
ahead of him in front of the depot. He
Whistled for brakes and applied the air,
but the train dashed on and struck the
Baltimore d Ohio train. The collision
was terrific. The engineers and fremen
Of both engines jumped and saved
themselves. Both engines and both
baggage cars were badly wrecked.
There were 500 passengers on the ex-
cursion train and great excitement
prevailed.
The {. 4. & c. train had the right
Of way.
Following is the list of those seriously

ANOTHER OPINION.
This Time it Was About Preference
Rights.

Replying to several questions pro-
pounded him by the state board of land
commissioners. the attorney general
yesterday delivered an opinion in the
matter Of amending an application.
after the time to file the same has ex-
pired. The law, says the official. under
which the applications are made. re-
quires certain qualifications as to citi-
zenship, time and the nature of the oc-
cupation of the land, for which the ap-
2licant claims the right of preference.
1t also requires the application of the
preferred claimant must be made before
the first day of next month. but does
not specify the form or. in other words.
what the application should contain.
The attorney general says the applicant
should follow as nearly as possible the
form drafted by the board and the
questions set out should be answered.
but the mere fact that there was a fail
ure to answer some or inadvertence in
stating all the facts, would not deprive
him of his rights. The attorney-gen-
eral says the filing of an application
for preferred claim would entitIe the
applicant 10 a preference right If he
could satisfy the board that he comes
within the law. Inasmuch as the board
has the right to decide contests and de-
termine qualifications, the attorney
general advises there is certain
amount of discretionary matter rest
ing with it.

FLORIDA'S RACE WAR.
Good Reason to Believe That is is
Virtually Over.

Key West, Fla, June 26.-The excite
ment which prevailed here yesterday
has somewhat abated and there is lit
tie danger of the anticipated race war.
There was no ORGANIZED disturbance
during the night owing probably to the
drastic measures taken by the sheriff
who promptly shot down a negro in
time to thoroughly awe a gang of
colored men which seemed inclined TO
make trouble. The negro was wounded
but it is said not fatally.
The militia are keeping close guard
on the jail where Johnson is confined
and 1t seems hardly probable that there
VIII be any necessity for the United
States troops. johnson is the negro
accused of saulting Mrs. Atwell and
the Whole trouble arose out of threats
made by white men that they would
lynch Johnson.
The trial OF Johnson will be contin-
ued today and it is possible there will
be some more shooting. The militia,
however, has taken good precautions,
and the sheriff and his men are de-
termiaed to prevent either the lynch
ing OF johnson or target practice be-
tween whites and blacks
Several negroes have been arrested,
but not in connection with the killing
of William Gardner, over whose MUIR
der the whites are still in a danger

prisoners are lodged in Jail, charged
With attempt to create disturbance.

BEARING ON CONTRACTS.
Important Opinion Rendered by the
Supreme Court of California.

san Francisco, June 26.-Aa impor-
tant opinion bearing upon contracts
which are held to be against sound
morals and public policy was rendered
by the supreme court today in the case
of Max Wasserman VS.. Louis Sloss. as
president of the Alaska Commercial
company. The latter corporation was
engaged in the sealing industry in
Alaska and held certain leases from
the governments OF the United States
and Russia. AS these We're soon to
expire and a renewal was necessary.
the defendant Sloss represented to
Wasserman that in order to enable him
TO interest certain persons high in au-
thority and in influence in the matter
IL WIS necessary for him TO have a
necessary amount of stock at his dis
posal. Wassernan thereupon gave him
100 shares of stock, but Sloss refused
to return them and suit was instituted
10 compel him 20 do so. The trial
court gave judgment of non-suit
against Wasserman. but the supreme
court holds that the action was not
one to enforce contract in any sense
and therefore reverses the judgment
and orders a new trial, as the stock
was not used for the illegal purpose

a MERRY WAR STARTED.
The John Scowcroft & Sons Co. De-
fes the Coffee Trust-Law Nay be
Invoked


1t became generally known yester-
day that the house of John Scowcroft
& Sons company had come under the
ban of the house of ArbuclSle Bros,
and that the latter firm had cut off the
former from receiving the staple com
modify, Ariosa coffee. This was due
10 the fact that the Ogden firm insisted
on treating the goods as their prop
erty after they had paid for it
The Arbuckle Bros. claim the right TO
dictate the price at which they shall
sell the coffee. In other words, they
are endeavoring 10 maintain coffee
monopoly and while their customers
are willing to sell at cheaper prices
and be content with lesser profits, they
Will not permit this. The John Scow-
croft & Sons company threw down the
gauntlet and defied the trust.
Mr.. Scowcroft said yesterday in an
swer to questions:
Yes. II is true we are cut of from
the sale OF Arbuckle's coffee. The facts
are, Arbuckle Bros. sell their Ariosa
brand of coffee on what is known as
the consignment plan. We order the
amount We require for our business,
which has been running from 10000 to
80, 500 one-pound packages per month.
Arbuckle Bros. bill the goods at what
is known as the card rate, which is
the price at which we sell the coffee.
On making our remittance to Arbuckle
Bros. we deduct IL cents per pound
from the invoice, and which is sup
posed to be our profit on the transac-
ton, but, before any firm can purchase
this coffee, Arbuclxle Bros. require a
signed contract that the above condl-
tions will be carried out, falling which
a fine of $50 is imposed on the violalor
and his supply of coffee is cut on un-
til the fine is paid. This fine was levied
against us on the 3rd inst, Arbuckle
Bros. claiming we have cut the price
on their coffee, which we do not deny.
as we can operate the business for less
than $3.50 per case of 100 bounds, con-
sidering the large quantity we handle.
OF course, we signed the contract; we
had to; it was the only way we could
get the coffee, but notwithstanding
this fact we have always asserted cur
right when we had bought and paid
for goods to sell them al whatever
price we pleased. in fact, give them
away If we wanted to. The $50 fine is
a mere trifle to us; we stand on prin-
ciDle.
Yes, we are making arrangements
for another brand of coffee which we
will shortly introduce and which. owing
TO its good quality. will, we think, be
popular with the public"
Mr. Scoweroft has been looking up
his legal rights in the matter and it is
understood that competent attorneys
consider the discrimination against the
Scowcroft company a direct violation
of the antitrust laws of the state con-
stitution A lively time is looked for
unless the ArbuclSle Bros. recede from
their position, as the Scowcroft people
seem TO he as fully determined in this
dispute over coffee as the Boston peO-
pie were over tea a hundred years ago. !
