WOLCOTT BILL REPORTED,
House Committee Will Recommend
Its Speedy Passage.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-The re-
port on the bin for an international
monetary conference, decided upon by
the house committee on coinage, has
been prepared by Mr.. c. w. Stone, of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the COM
mfttee. 1t says that belief exists that
the American people intend and ex-
pect that an earnest and bona fide eff
fort shall be made to reach an inter-
national agreement on the currency
question, and to enable the executive
to give effect to that intention, it is
recommended that he be given full
power to deal with the subject during
his term of office. The prompt passage
OF the senate bill with an amendment
providing for diplomatic negotiations
If necessary therefore, is recommend
ed.
A conference of representatives of
the several nations heretofore has been
the customary way of seeking such
agreement and embOdies an entirely
proper mode of proceeding and one
which the committee thinks has re-
ceived the approval of leading Eur
Opean nations, as it says is shown by
history. 1t is not, however, the re
port adds, the only proper mode of
proceeding. Diplomatic negotiations
and treaty stipulations may be resort
ed to. preliminary or subsequent to
such conference or in lieu Of it as cir
cumstanceS seem to require. The in
coming executive, it is said, has frank
ly and unequivocally stateAe that he
will employ all proper means to pro-
mote an International agreement and
the committee believes that he should
be aided in the performance Of this
duty by promptly vesting in him full
and explicit power to use every APP
propriate means to promote an inter-
national agreement, and the commit
tee, therefore, recommended an addi-
ton to the bill providing that he may
appoint commissioners or ENJOYS to
seek by diplomatic negotiations with
the several nations to bring about such
an agreement.
Reference is made to the plank Of
the Republican platform in the last
campaign, opposing the free coinage
of silver, except by international
agreement with the leading CONNER
cial nations Of the earth, which the Re-
publican party is pledged to promote,
and declaring that until such agree
ment can be obtained the existing gold
standard must be preserved The re-
pert continues: There is nothing Of
ambiguity or uncertainty In this de-
claration. 1t is explicit, straightfor-
ward. and complete. It must be ac-
cepte'd as expressing the will and DUR
pose of the American people and their
will should be the guide of their rem
resentatives. A pledge fairly made
should be unhesitatingly fulfilled
Doubts as to the possibility of success
do not absolve from the plighted OBJ
legation to attempt success

that MIR. Lincoln would always listen at

Then he would make memorandum in

not to do it.

Hitched His Sled to . Railway Train.
T. Saturday morning when train No. II on
the c. N. Y. and W. railroad pulled in at
iNunda, N. Y, Oscar Cain, aged about 16
years, with several other boys, had the
large double deck coaster Fleetwood near
the back coach. .sy... 1850. = .
II Some one suggested to Cain to hook the
coaster on the train and take a ride.
Young Cain, who is always looking for ex.
element, did not hesitate moment, but
hitched the coaster fast to the iron rails at
the back Of the coach, When the train
started, he jumped on the coaster, and
when he thought he had ridden far enough
on the ties he tried to release the rope
which held the coaster to the train, but to
his horror 1t was fastened too securely.
The longer he remained on board the faster
the train went, 80 finally he rolled off the
deck to save his life. He slid on his face
on the snow covered ties for several feet,
but without injuring himself in the least.
Directly after he fell off Conductor Hen
derson noticed the coaster dangling behind,
and cut the fastenings. 1t was very mar.
row escape for the boy from being killed.

AMERICA AT THE HEAD.

Moro Fighting Men In tho United States
y Than III Any Other Country.
The adjutant general OF the regular army
has laid before congress, as provided by
law, u statement of the number Of men in
the United States physically able to per-
form military duty If called upon to do so.
The number of such men is 1O,O24, 5S4.
The number is important, because it shows
that the United States has MOI men avail
able for war than any other nation in the
world. The foremost place was held pre-
viously by Russia. "
The best estimates put the present popu-
lation of the United States at ~, 900, 900.
The population of Russia by the last esti-
mates was 80,OOO,OoO. The number Of
available men in Russia, however, is not
so large in proportion to the whole popu-
lation. In the first place the proportion Of
male residents in the United States is lar
ger. The immigration to the United States
Is mostly male, and there has been some
emigration from Russia, almost wholly
male. According to the last federal CEN
sus of the ULited States, there were $780,
600 more male than female residents Of
this country while from the last authentic
Russian census it appeared that for every
1000 male persons in Russia there were
1,O27 females Moreover, there is a much
larger class of noncombatants in Russia
than in the United States. BY "noncom-
batants''' are meant those who, for religious
or other reasons, are opposed to warfare
and secure exemption.
According to the last figures at hand,
there were 8,5O0,O Hebrews in Russia,
and there are 500, 900 in the United States.
Years ago the Quaker population was con-
siderable in some American states, par
ticularly Pennsylvania, but there are now
only 100, 900 members Of all the denomina-
lions .of Friends in this country.-New
