the leading European capitals. He had
audiences with the more noted flnan-
cial ministers, and IL is believed he then
laid the foundations for international
conference for which the committee
appointed tonight will endeavor to
bring to a conclusion. Senator Wolcott
is now serving his second term in the
senate, having been elected to that body
in 1885 While a pronounced bimetal-
list, he was a stanch supporter of the
st. Louis ticket.
Ex-Vice President Stevenson. the
Democratic member of the commission,
though generally known as an advocate
of blmetallism, was stanch supporter
of Bryan and the Chicago platform. He
and Senator Wolcott, however. are said
to be in accord on the financial ques-
ton.
The Minority Member.
General Charles j. Paine, who may
be termed the minority member, is
Republican and was a Mckinley man,
He is one of the most prominent bust
ness men of Massachusetts, and is said
to be a deep student of the financial
question. While he Is classed as
supporter of bimetallism based on inter-
national agreement, he is regarded as
aiile0 WIN lne Rolu SlanuaIu ldcllpu.
He is a graduate of Harvard, being
member of the class of SO. General
Paine is largely identified with rail-
roads and other corporations, being a
director of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railroad and other large
concerns. and a director of the Boston
Institute of Technology; was an init
mate friend and associate of Professor
Walker, the financial author and au-
thority He is man of large wealth
and probably better known to the pub
lie at large as one of the syndicate
of gentlemen who built the cup de-
Tending yachts Puritan, Mayflower and
Volunteer. 1t is a fact not generally
known that General Paine accompa-
MED Senator Wolcott on his European
trip last summer and assisted him in
that work. 1t is believed that he went
abroad with Senator Wolcott with the
understanding that he was to be made
member of the commission.
1t isnot yet known when the commits
sioners will meet and organize. When
an organization is effected, however, 1t
is believed that Senator Woleott will
be made chairman. 1t is authorita-
lively stated that the commissioners
will not go abroad before May l. by
which time the new ambassadors VIII
be at their posts and render the specia Al
ENJOYS the assistance necessary in the
contamination of their mission.

weyler-s Paper Promises.

Our "Greenbackers" should rejoice
over the fact that another paper money
experiments being tried. If greenbacks
put down the rebellion in the United
States, why shouldn't they prove effect
i've weapons against Cuban rebels?"-
reasons General Weyler, who is flooding
the coast towns of Cuba with artistically
engraved promises to pay on one side Of
piece of paper and a picture Of a well
developed tobacco plant ON the other
side.
The experiment is bound to be sue
cessful, for the notes are made legal
tender in the worst way. Any shop
keeper who refuses to accept these prom
ises for their face value is subject to in
stant Imprisonment in jails where con-
finement means almost certain death.
OF course under the circumstances the
notes are accepted. Weyler, however,
forgot to decree that prices should not
be raised, and the Cuban shopkeepers
are mean enough TO try to defeat the
experiment by raising prices. So far
they have only doubled prices, but each
one is trying to see how high he can put
prices, and the end is not in sight
Come TO think Of it, high prices, con-
stantly growing higher, have defeated
all past experiments with paper money
Perhaps Weyler, by correcting this little
defect, may yet demonstrate that Green
hackers are right aud that cheap money,
by proper legislation, can be made just
as good as money made from costly
metals. What boon plenty Of money
would be to mankindl Success to Wey-
ler's experiment and death to the traitor
who tries to prevent its success by rails
ing prices or by refusing to accept Wey-
ler's handsome promisesl

The Academy Immediately took up the
matter and appointed DR.. Michaux
committee TO inquire into the matter, and
TO bring il To the attention OF the proper
authorities. Or. Michaux AT once began
to investigate, and he found that Mrs. +.

reported the facts in the case 10 Com

and few days ago received letter from
that official stating that certain changes
in the law had put matters Of this nature
under the jurisdiction Of the Police Jus
tice of Richmond.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Anthony and
Mrs holland were summoned 10 appear IN
the Police Court 10 show cause why they
should not be prosecuted for practicing
medicine without license. I'm the alb

These women he said. 'have been
practicing medicine around the city in an
underhanded way. They have displayed
no signs. secured no licenses, and still
worse are without a proper education to
engage in the profession.
They depend upon quack medicines In

favorite cure-all IS the massage treatment
Why some time ago when ! was out Of

the matter properly. lie is an excellent
Official and man Of great penetration. -"
