ms hgureS up something like 3d.
540,000,000 of legal tender silver, coming
value, now in use among the nations as
money. If silver continues to decline in
price and is discarded us money, all
this vast sum must 20 into the limbo of
nothingncss.
Who Is to bear this loss? What is
to become of the commerce of the silver
countries-England's best customers
If their money is to be wiped out? Mex
leo has already put stop to foreign
trade for this cause. Must not all the
other silver countries do likewise if the
decline continues?
The great question of bimctallism
thus confronts the world In the most
acute form assumed since Germany,
France and the United, States dcmonc-
tizcd the white metal % years ago. As
the Springfield Republican, golditc
paper, says:
'"This renewed breali in The bullion
market from the causes mentioned Inay
be fact to rejoice over in lis diScour-
aging effects upon the rcinonctiz ation
movement in the United States, but
after That, what? Consider tho situa-
tiom Here are the nations of the civ
ilized and semicivilizcd world which,
with only one notable exception, have
become tied to the employment of inn
mcnse amounts of silver as money. 1t
represents the accommodations of CEN
turtles of faith in its pcrpctuity rs
stable and solid possession. But ut
last, and for the first time in history,
the world nwakcs to the knowledge
that the once precious metal has be-
come base and cheap and common, and
that the very bottom of the great none
tary stores in II has fallen out and
left them hanging high on the slender
peg of government fiat"
Is 1t not. In view of the facts here
referred to, more impcratively neces-
sary than ever before for the people of
tho world to throw off the shackles
with which they are being bound to
gold by the shylocks and security
spectators and restore silver to the
place it has heretofore occupied MS one
of the primary money metals of the
world? The bulk of the commercial
and Industrial depression and. disasters
of the last quarter of n century are due
to the scaling down process of the gold
standard. and prosperity will never be
permanently restored until gold is de-
throucd rs the absolute monarch of
the worlds exchanges. 1t is of vital
interest, therefore, not only to the
United States, but to the world, that sill
yer should be replaced where IT. once
was. God speed the day! - Illinois

The London Times discusses the fail

1t to be an argument against any at

all the vast wealth now represented by

HARVARD VS.. YALE.
ATHLETIC RELATIONS BETWEEN
THEM STRAINED.
Not Much Prospect of a Boating Con-
test Between Them This Year
Futile Negotiations.

New York, Jan. 11.-AccOrding TO
and oarsman, the contest over the
Harvard and Yale boat race with re-
spect to the renewal of athletic rCla-
tiOns appears To he as far from Il SET
Element as ever.
Ii is especially settled that tn" pro-
posed boat race will not occur and if
it is formally or officially abandoned
there will be little chance of settling
the contention and reaching an AMIGA
bic arrangement for contests of other
kinds
In the course of an interview Mr..
Cook last night said:
While on principle both sides de
sire to resume harmonious relations
and have their athletic contests as of
old. no man can knowingly say what
the outcome will he. There is Il great
deal of i'll feeling To begin with. which
is constantly being famed by the
writers. of international reports. Then
there is a wide difference in the ath-
letic systems of the two colleges.
which causes much diSaffectOn. In
Harvard the faculty appoints the ath-
letic committee. while i'm Yale the
whole matter is in the hands of the
undergraduates.
I'm the effort to rc-cstablishmcnt re-
lations the Yale undergraduates vot-
ed affimatively on the main propO-
sition and then placed the details Of
the negotiations in the hands of Wal
ter Camp. DR.. W. \. Brooks was APP
pointed in similar capacity for Har-
ward. Several meetings have been
held but they have apparently served
to illustrate the difference of opinion
which exists. There has been little
progress toward Il settlement. 1t is
impossible for Yale to comply with
this suggestion which Harvard has
made for race as early in June. be
cause it would be against the orders
and rules of the faculty. Yale will
be glad to row by the last of Junc.but
that would not suit Harvard and thus

DISSATISFIED SPAIN.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says: The
popular impatie with the govern
ment because of the failure TO sup
press the rebellions in Cuba and the
PHILIPPINE island, is certainly increas-
ing. Thousands of the young men of
Spain have gone TO Cuba, where they
have got their death from disease or
the hardships of the campaign.
Their families believe they would
vet be alive were it not for the policy
of Capt. Gen. Weyler, who despite his
promises to put down the insurgents,
has comparatively accomplished lit
tie, while his unacclimated troops have
been dying by scores of hundreds.
The leaders of both the COnServa-
tive and the Liberal parties are dis
trusted, the political outlook is chaO-
tic.
Rumors of n change in the ministry
are frequently put into circulation and
as frequently denied, but in the pres
ent temper of the people the sIIccs-
sion Of the Liberals to power would
not Danish the district which pre-
walls everywhere. The future is look
ed for with much anxiety.

There is Il wave of subdued excite

by Mr.. Herbert Y. Bingham. the
British consul of Nicaragua stationed
at San Juan Del Norte, (Greytown

St. Joseph, Mo-, Jan. lin a Pull
man car on the southbound Missouri
Pacific limited last night, were two
passengers who attracted sympathy.
The woman was strikingly beautiful,
while her companion might have been
either 30 or 60 years old. Sharp lines
disfigured his otherwise attractive

When he awoke it was to find him

along with a terrific speed. He had
been aroused by something soft and

struck large tarantula. He did not
care to strike another, match and he
knew that he was in imminent peru

the car meant certain death.
While these thoughts darted through
his mind a cold hairy substance dasheu

long he lay unconscious he does not

was still speeding like the wind. He

Another "GCod Man'' Gone Wrong

E. w. Schubert was arrested by City Marshal Kenney Wednesday evening on a dispatch from Chief of Police Crowley of San Francisco, for embedding the funds of the Russ House of that city.
 Detective Whitaker is expected here tomorrow night for the prisoner. Schubert was in the employ of Col. Young, proprie- tor of the Russ House in San Fran cisco, as cashier. His dedication amounts to about $1200.
 Schubert first entered the em- ploy of Colonel Young during the Midwinter Fair. Then he returned to Colorado, where he had been before. He was at one time man. ager of the Hotel Oxford in Den yer and later of the Grand Gen. tral at Pueblo, Prior to this he was for some years manager of the Fremont house, Red Bluff.
 It seems that during the past few weeks Schubert has been living far beyond his means. The American Surety Company had a $2O00 pol icy guaranteeing the young mans honesty. Inspector Seybold has been looking up the matter in con- nection with Mr. Atkinson, the ex- pert.
 Schubert is about 40 years old and unmarried. He had pur- chased frst-class limited ticket for El Paso. He had allowed his cash book to remain for about two months unposted, and when Col onel Young spoke to him about it he pleaded he had been unwell.

Under Sheriff U. G. Wilder arrested Tuesday evening young man by the name of Benjamin A. Buxton, on a telegram received from Chief of Police Glass of Los Angeles on a charge of grand larceny committed in Mime apolis, Minn.
 A SENTINEL representative called at the Sheriff's office and interviewed the prisoner. He said he had no idea why he had been arrested or what the charge was. He admitted though that he and man by the name of Van Gordon had been in the con- fectionery business in Minneapolis and went into bankruptcy some months ago and intimatcd that he be- lieved some of their creditors were the cause of his arrest.
 Buxton when arrested was travel ing on ticket to New York City via Fl Paso, Galveston and Key West. He said his reason for buying a ticket by the way of Key West was that he intended to sell his ticke5 if possible at the latter place and go to Cuba and enlist Tn the Patriot Army.
 He was bright looking young man and no one would think to look at him that he was guilty of so serious a charge.
 Ha was richly dressed and his vallses and other things which liter ally covered the desks of the Sheriff. s office, were of the most expensive kind and indicated wealth and refine ment.

The officer had no ex- tradition papers with him, but Bux- ton was willing to accompany him back and our officials allowed him to depart on the "Flyer" the same night.
 Officer Howard informed the writer that the prisoner had been a Cashier and manager in one of the large stores of the above city and had em- bezzled considerable money of his employers.

Exposure to Disease
Secretary.

Does not necessarily mean the con traction of disease provided the system is in a vigorous condition, with the blood pure and all the organs in healthy action. When in such con- dition contagion is readily resisted and the disease germs can find no Judgment. Hoods SarsaparilIa Is the best medicine to build up the system because it makes pure, rich blood, and pure blood is the basis of good health. In cold weather it is especially neces- sary to keep up the health tone be- cause the body is subject to greater exposure and more liable to disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the safeguard of health.
