WASHINGTON, Oct. 424.-When the
monetary commissions reconvenes On
Nov. it will be ready to begin the
preparation of it's currency measure
and the report that will accompany it.
The measure itself wilE9not be one Of
great length. and 1T is probable that
the report, instead Of attempting to
give a digest of all the suggestions and
testimony before the commission, will
confine itself to a clear statement OF
facts and terse argument in support
of the measure agreed upon.
The great mass of the suggestions
has been from men who have evidently
given much careful study and intelli-
gent thought to the currency question.
The suggestions range over every pos
sible phase of the subject, and almost
every writer has some suggestion to
make as to the place that silver should
hold in the currency 6f the country.

questions of number of financial ex-

man was taken from the top of the car

passengers left upon the track making
a human bridge to the shore to take
the wounded on. The day coach and

the latter coach the conditions must
have been horrible. The car turned

baggage end stood up towards the sur

SCORE OF BODIES.
The closing scene of the first day of
this tragedy is drawn around a COM
mon car that stands near the scene Of
the accident where nearly a score of
badly mutilated bodies, none Of them
yet claimed by friends, are lying in a
long row, greWsome evidences of the
disaster, the greatest that has ever oc-
Cured on this railroad.
The wrecked train was known as the
State Express. 1t left Buffalo at
o'clock last night, and was due
in New York at Z o'clock
this morning. The train was
hauled by engine S72, and consisted of
one American Express car, one COM
posite baggage and smoking car, one
day coach and six sleepers Pough-
keepsie was the last stopping place Of
the train before the disaster, at $40
a. m. At this time there were in the
smoker in addition to the baggageman.
Herman Acker of Peekskill, who was
in his compartment, eight Cinnamon
en- route from the Canadian border to
New York, and middle-aged man,
supposed to be Thomas Reilly, of 1850
Wisconsin avenue, st. Louis. All of
these, excepting the bagga agemaster,
perished. The day coach contained
eighteen or twenty passengers, many
Of whom were women and children
How many Of these escaped is not
known, but at least twelve were
drowned or killed in this car. Behind
the coach were the six sleepers, with
about sixty-five passengers. The
total cargo of human freight consisted
of something over a hundred people.
At Fishkill the train lessened it's
speed, as it is it's custom to run from
that point to Tarrytown at the rate of
about twenty-five miles an hour. Most

TROUBLE OVER A SALUTE.
It Wasn't Expected on the Brooklyn
and Couldn't be Answered.

New York, June Admiral Miller.
who has been ordered by the president
to represent this government at the
queens jubilee, was aboard the new
cruiser Brooklyn when she left the ma
Wy yard last Monday afternoon Com
mOdOre Francis NJ. Bunce, commander
of the navy yard, is the admiraPs jun
iOr, but in order to save a few yards of
naval red tape, the admiral, out of
courtesy to the commodore, did not
hoist his flag aboard the Brooklyn as
long as the cruiser was at the station.
As soon as the Brooklyn had cast off
her lines and was clear of the long deck
the admiral ordered his flag hOiSted lin

have it displayed until after the cruiser
was well out of sight of the navy yard
in order to save a salute, also because
the powder magazine was locked and
the key in the captains locker and the
captain on the bridge and unable to
get the key from the locker.
The order was passed along by cap
tain, executive officer, officer of the
deck, bOatswain and quartermaster to

occurred is not known. but instead of
hosting the flag in a bundle ready to
be broken out later somebody broke the

TILLMAN WON'T GIVE UP.
he Will Keep UP the Fight for the
Dispensary Law.

Washington. June 2.-When Senator
Tillman was asked for an expression
concerning the decision Of Judge ST.
monitor in the South Carolina dispens-
airy case, he said that the state un-
doubtedly would appeal the case to the
supreme court of the United States
There is nothing else to do he said,
so far as this case is concerned. The
state has exhausted h0r present re-
sources and must wait upon the SUI
preme court and congress" He said
the decision practically annulled the
Wilson act of 1890 and that if it should
be sustained by the supreme court
nothing would be left but to get con-
gress to pass another law that could
be made binding This, Senator Till
man says he will use his efforts to ac-
complish, but on account of the method
of proceeding in the house, he has very
little hope of success during the pres
ent session.
He thinks the senate could be in
duced to act if there was any pOssibil-
ity of getting action in the house. We
don't surrender the principle" he said
land 1 shall take some step here to
maintain it, but just what I shall do
and when 1 shall attempt to do any
thing will necessarily depend upon cir
cumStanceS.

STOCK EXCHANGE CASE.
Argument was Made Before Judge
Foster Today.

Arguments in the injunction suit
brought by the government against the
Kansas City Stock Exchange, seeking
to dissolve the organization of the ex-
change and prevent a further cOntin-
uance of business, were made before
Judge Foster in the United States cir
cult court yesterday. The case was
taken under adVisement by Judge FOs-
ter.
Evidence in the suit was introduced
in the shape of affidavits, all relating to
the method of conducting business in
the exchange. Affidavits introduced by
the government went TO show that the
exchange was monopolizing the bust
ness of buying and selling cattle at the
Kansas City stock yards to the eXclus-
ion of all commission men who were not
members, and that the method of con-
Quoting business was in violation of the
interstate commerce laws
On the other hand, afidavits intro
duced by the attorneys for the ex-
change went to show that the Organi-
cation was for the protection of respOn-
sible commission men and responsible
shippers, that a monopoly was not be-
ing conducted, and that nothing in the
methods of the exchange was in viola
ton of the Interstate commerce laws.
The injunction suit is said to be the
OutgrOwth of the trouble between the
commission firm of Greer, Mills & Co.
and the Kansas City Stock Yards Ex-
change.
United States District Attorney Per
~ was supplied with information con-
corning the methods of the exchange,
and he in turn referred the information
to Attorney General Harmon. who in
structed him to institute proceedings.
The suit was filed last January.

REPLIES TO TILLMAN.
Senator Smith Denies Specializing il
Sugar Stock.

Washington, June 2.-Senator Smith
of New Jersey made a brief personal
statement in the senate yesterday in re
ply to the newspaper charges repeated
in the senate by Senator Tillman that
he CSmith) had speculated in sugar
stock He said: Mr.. President: Dur
ing my absence from the senate the
other day 1 ascertained from the record
that in a very remarkable deliverance
by the senator from South Carolina
(NIr. Tillman) he became sponsor for a
newspaper clipping in which my name
was mentioned in connection with the
sugar schedule in the pending tariff
bill.
1T is only necessary for me to say
that the statement in the newspaper
clipping is absolutely and unqualiiedly
untrue. I have not during this ses-
sion of congress bought or sold, direct
Iy or indirectly, a single share of sugar
stock, nor at any time prior to this
when any legislation affecting the value
of sugar or sugar stock was pending"

Simpson, he said it was in a sense true
that members of the committee on
rules were the speakers creatures, but,
said he, every rule was submitted to
the house for its sanction If the house
was 'bucked and gagged, it was buck
ed and gagged by itself" He declared
that the abuse hurled at the speaker
was neither honorable nor consistent
with high dignity. He defended the
speaker for not appointing committees.
In conclusion he said the house was
waiting to finish the work it came here
to perform. In the meantime he said,
it would transact such business as
might become urgent.
Mr.. Grosvenor (Rep.. % followed in
a similar strain, putting the Repubh-
cans in an excellent humOr by his witty
comments on the minority leadership.
Branching into the subject of criti-
cisn of the speaker, he said he had
nothing but contempt for a man who
would abuse the speaker, who, in viz
tue of his position, could not defend
himself. Fire your paper balls over
here at u.s. he cried, I'VE can answer
them"
Mr.. Grosvenor spoke of the words
wild, senseless, imbecile," going to
the house from a certain quarter, evil
IDENTIFY referring to Senator Morgan
speech in the senate He said it ought
to be rebuked. The idea that because
a majority of the house saw fit to adj
journ three days at a time congress was
not in session he characterized as ride
ulOus and referred to the author of this
discovery as one whose voice sound
ed 80 sweet to him that he filed the
air with it by the month
Mr.. Simpson, replying to Mr. eros
venor, said there was no need of lead
ership on the minority side, as they
were all leaders over there"
They were not like sheep who had
to be led over the fence every day by
the leading billy goat" Mr.. S1mp-
son attempted to read from Senator
Morgan's speech, but the speaker would
not permit him to do so.
Comment on the proceedings in the
other house, the speaker said, would
lead to disputes and interfere with the
harmony that should prevail between
the two houses.
The house then adjourned till Thurs
