OUR MONEY SYSTEM.

Indianapolis Committee Has an Interview
With Gage.
WASHINGTON. March 27.-The mem
bers of the executive committee ap
pointed by the monetary conference at
Indianapolis some weeks ago had an
interview with Secretary Gage today
at the treasury department. The com
mittee, which was headed by the chair
man, n. n. Hanna, of Indianapolis,
discussed with the secretary the ques-
tion of the probability Of congress at
once authorizing the appointment of a
monetary commission on the revision
of our monetary system, as recon-
mended by the Indianapolis confer
ence, and also by President Mckinley
in his inaugural message.
Mr.. Gage expressed himself as fully
convinced OF the necessity for such
commission, and he thought that nc
good could result from delaying its ap-
pointmept. Business throughout the
country was greatly depressed, and, in
his opinion, there should be no delay
in taking measures for the general re-
lief. There was, however, he said, in
some quarters. serious doubt of the ex-
pediency of allowing legislation of any
character whatever 10 interfere with
the consideration and prompt passage
of tariff measure.
1t is understood. that the house is
ready at any time to carry out the
presidents views as to u monetary
commission and revision of our mon
etary system. In the senate, however.
it said there is likely to be opposition
to speedy action.

solute collapse of tho United Press, its

The downfall of the United Press
marks the end of what was intended to
be "a great news trust" which was ex-
pected by its projectors to control the
dissemination of news in the United
States and strangle such publications
as would not bow to its will.
The triumph of the Associated Press,
is on the contrary, victory for honest
cooperation in news gathering and

AUSTIN, Tex, March 2S.-Today the
city and country was visited by cy-
clone that did great damage. The
wind came from the southwest, and
blew at a rate of about go miles an
hour for nearly 20 minutes, tearing
down trees or splitting them asunder
with terrific force. Several electric
towers were blown down, and qui.e
number of houses in the residence por-
tion were blown down, and in several
csses of narrow es zap from death are
reported.
The new unoccupied residence of
Burt Mcdonald was blown down, strik-
ing against the residence of William
Vining, knocking in one side of the
building. Two children who were in
the room playing narrowly escaped.
The roofs of a number of residences
were torn off, and in addition to doing
much damage to the state university,
the wind blew off the entire roof of
the adjoining dormitory. Great dam
age was done to the built ing, and the
property of the 200 students therein,
many of whom fed for their lives when |
the roof was carried away. The roof |
was carried 100 yards, crushing the
roof OF a cottage in which four people |
were seated, but none were even in
jured.
The small town of Clarksville, near
this city, was swept by the wind, and
many horses were killed by the flying
debris, while a number of small houses
were blown down, though fortunately,
the inmates were not killed. Several
were badly MANNED, however. Per-
sons arriving on the evening trains
bring reports from the surrounding
country that the storm was general in
this section.

The Roman consul.

The most honorable office in the Ro-
man republic was that of consul.
There were always two elected every
year, one each from the patricians and
plebeians. The consul must be at
least forty-three years old and must
have held the office of quaestor, aed;le
praetor. The consuls were the heads
of the republic, discharging all publit
functions, such as receiving ambassa
dors or assembling the senate. Their
insignia were those of a king except
crown. They were always attended
each by twelve lictors or servants,
bearing the boxes or bundles of
rods with an AK in the center. The lie
tors, however, proceeded only one at a
time, the lictors of the other following
him. The year was named after them.

mendation also went by their Names

THE VANISHING MOOSE.
Departure OF New York,s Game for Part,



A deer, when started by hunter or
driven by hounds, usually returns in a
few days to the same hill or mountains
side where he was first found; but n
moose, says Madison Grant in the
Century, when once thoroughly
alarmed, will start on long, swinging
walk, and, taking with him his entire
family, leave for good. 1t is one of the
greatest difficulties-and there arc
many-in still-hunting this animal, l.,
avoid getting him under way, for then
the hunter may as well break camu
and try other fields, since not a moose
will be found within miles. They
scent a moccasin track or the smoke of
a fire ut an incredible distance. A
fresh trail may be found one day and
arrangements made to follow it at day
break on the morrow. During the
night the moose, returning to his old
haunts, detects the danger-signs, and
all the hunters find in the morning is a
trail six or eight hours old leading for
parts unknown in an almost perfectly
straight line. The moose is at that
moment, perhaps, twenty miles off and
still going.
Although moose cannot be driven to
water by hounds like deer, but will
turn savagely to bay, still they will
not remain in alocality where dogs are
running; so that when the white hunt
ers became numerous in the Nort.s
woods. and especially when they intro
duced bounding; the moose simply left
the country and passed either cast
ward to Maine or northward to
Canada.
1t is well-authenticated but little
known fact that they practically left
in one season. They were numerous
in the Adirondacks, especially in
Browns tract-a large district in what
is now the southwestern part of the
wilderness-until the period between
1850 and 1855 probably near the latter
year,, when they suddenly disap-
peared. Before this several had been
killed yearly. Scattered ones were
shot later, but 1855 marked their exit
from the annals of New York game.
Years later, four or five were brought
back to Saranac, but would not stay.

But the most startling news reached
