The London Papers Are Worried Over BIZ
metallic Negotiations.
London, October 1S.-The Daily News
in an editorial headed The Bimetallist
Conspiracy" says this morning:
I'VE do not know what authority
there may be for the statement that the
government has agreed to continue the
negotiations, nor can we see what the
United States or any other country has
to do with the matter. But there must
be an end to the conspiracy of silence
in, which the government is involved.
Our financial credit is far too serious
a subject to be bartered with foreigners
or handled in the dark
The Daily News pointedly demands
explanations from Mr.. Balfour, the
First Lord of the Treasury, and says
There are those, including ourselves,
who regard it as a public scandal that
the First Lord of the Treasury should
be bimetallist. They argue that for
eign critics may justly doubt the sin
cerity of our monometallism when they
see a man at the treasury who, if he
could would destroy the whole Of our
monetary system"

possible to produce in connection with
this scheme has been published by the
Register in extenso, from the details Of
the present status of the city debt on
down to the last payment Of interest
on the proposed refunded debt thirty
four years hence, including a detailed
statement of the interest to be paid
during each of these thirty-four years,
which would cause the people of the
city to pay $997,000 in order to cancel
a debt of $525, 000-a debt which at the
present rate of payment we could pay
off in half that time and in quarter
of that time so reduce that it would
not be burden to the taxpayers, while
in the meantime we would have a
growing annual surplus for improve
ments.
If our contemporary would like any
further figures on the proposition and
will specify what figures are lacking
the Register will be glad to furnish
them if it is possible
This is in no sense a political mat
ter, although the clique backing the
scheme is endeavoring to put that con-
structien On it in order to drive the
thing through Council by the aid of the
party whip 1t is simply a matter of
finance and common sense. If Council
passes this ordinance the people will
certainly defeat it at the polls If Coun-
ell has the independence and manhood
to defeat the scheme at the start, it
will save the expense Of an election.

the man personally. Mr.. Dana was tall six
feet In height, and proud of it, and carica-

porcelains We're his delights, and he was
always flattered at the suggestion that he
owned the $4,000 peachblow vase. He had
a keen sense Of humor and a morbid dread
of bore, and for this reason it was diff
ficult if not impossible, for a stranger
to see him during his office hours, which
were from IL a. NJ to 3 p. m. He adj
mired old fashioned simplicity in business
and the sole decorations of his office con-
sisted of a stuffed owl and bust of Hor-
ace Greeley. His office suit was always
one that had seen better days.
By no means an epicure, he was never
insensible to the pleasures of the table.
and lemon pie, he always admitted, was
his favorite dish. He was not an abstainer
from liquor, but drank temporarily. and
his. beverages were champagne, burgundy
and whiskey and water. His religious DO

QUITE A FEAT.
An Iron Railroad Bridge Replaced by
a Steel Structure in 1--WE Minutes
and a Half Yesterday.

Philadelphia, Pa, October 1.-THE
feat of replacing an iron bridge span
two hundred and fOrty-two feet long,
twenty-five feet wide and thirty feet
deep, with one Of the same dimension
OF steel, was accomplished in this city
to-day in two minutes and thirty-two
seconds. In this space Of time nearly
1,700 tons of iron and steel were moved
a distance of twenty-five feet, and
there was not Slip or a hitch in the
entire proceedings.
ms remarkable feat of engineering
was accomplished at what is known
as the connecting railroad bridge over
the SchuylkilT, just above Girard ave-
nue. 1t is the bridge that bears the
tracks of the New York division Of
the Pennsylvania railroad, the busiest
division of the Pennsylvania system.
The time set for the replacement
was the fOrty-eight minutes interven-
ing between the passage over the
bridge Of the Chestnut Hill accom-
mediation trains leaving Broad street
station at PAT p. m. and at g.: 50 D. m.
a work train crossed to the eastern
end OF the bridge and stopped. The
gangs Of trackmen began to unspike
the rails of the west-bound track on
the span. This done, the grapplers Of
the iron train took hold of the ends
of the rails, the engine started up and
the entire length of rails two hun
dred and forty-two feet, was snaked
off in short order.
Meanwhile four stationary engines.
one at each end on level with the
bridge foundations, and another at each
end on sCOws securely moored at the
base of the bridge piers, were putting
and emphasizing their readiness for the
task they had to do. There was said
to he less than hundred horse power
represented in these four engines. vet
SO well was everything arranged that
they moved the leviathan without any
apparent OvereXertiOn.
Then the signal was given for the
little stationary engines to assert them
selves. 1t seems as if thy all started at
the identical instant There was a
Tightening of the cables. an almost per
ceptible creak of wheels somewhere and
the big bulk began to move northward.
1t was like clock work AS the edge
Of the old iron span began to show
beyond the bridge piers, the crowds on
the north side of the river set up a
shout, and as the breadth of the new
steel plan began to disappear behind
the piers the crowds on the southern
points of vantage also joined in the
cheer, and almost before the cheer had
died away the mighty feat had been
accomplished. In just two minutes
and thirty-two seconds from the time
Of starting the engines the new span
occupied the exact position from which
the old one had been removed.

MRS. KAVANAGH HORSEWHIPPED.

CHICAGO, october 1.-THE session Of
Branch No. l of the Social Democracy,
the organization founded by Eugene v.
Debs, ended in a general row tonight,
during which Mrs Fannie Clark Kavan-
agh, president of the branch. was horse
whipped. The whipping was done by Mrs
Thomas J.. quinn. wife Of the former
president of the recently expelled Branch
No. ? of the Social Democracy, the t~ou-
BILE between the women growing out Of
the fact that Mrs. Kavanagh had accused
Mrs. Quinn of being a Pinkerton detect
i've. The male members Of the organiza-
ton promptly took part in the row when
the assault on Mrs. Kavanagh began and
a riot was narrowly averted. Mrs. Kav-
anagh is said to have been badly disiig-
ured.

The monument was designed by

to whom Stevenson dedicated the
"Silverado Squatters. George Piper
was the sculptor. The shaft is made
of California stone and is 1917 feet high,
on top of which is a cap also of gran

galleon of the Sixteenth century. The
vessel is running before the wind
with sail set, and so subtle is
the work Of the sculptor that the
idea of ship in motion is artfully car

was shot last night while hunting
and died this morning. He was, with
Leslie Stain and William Mcclure, two

Stain attempted to change the guns
from one side OF the boat to the other
when one of them was discharged, the
load OF shot tearing off one of Rey-

abdomen.
The boys tried to summon help, but
finally carried their companion mile
on plank. 1t was four hours before
they could get surgeon, and by that
time it was impossible to save the
young mans life. Stain and Mcclure
are so badly Frustrated by the accident
that they are under the care of physi-
