NO CURRENCY LEGISLATION Anticipated by Senator Teller at
 the Next Session. M'KINLEY MAY RECOMMEND To Congress Upon the Problem the Same as in His Inaugural Address Congress Should
 Settle the Question of Cuba.

Washington, Nov. 24.-When asked to- day to give his opinion as to the proba- bilty of legislation affecting the currency during the approaching session of con gross Senator Teller said: 'I do not be- Eeve there will be any legislation looking to the substitution of bank notes for greenbacks and treasury notes, which appears to be the favor'te method of currency reform, so-cailled, advucated by the supporters of the gold standard. I think it very doubtful whether the ad- vocates of the change can agree upon the details of such legislation and bank CTS will naturally hesitate to increase their issue of bank notes in sufficient quantity to take the place of the entire volume of greenbacks and treasury notes, especially in view of the fact that the redemption of bank notes, must, to slatis- fy the demands of the currency reform CTS, be in gc,d.''
 Senator Teller sad he considered it quite certain that the president would ihchc SOIIbc upon the currency problem to congress but he was of the opinion that the suggestion would be in general the same as in his inaugural message and the president would leave the details to congress.
 The senator expressed doubt as to whether the administration would take any steps looking to the encouaa. .sxnent of the Cubans in their war for indspen- dence &
 T think" he said, that congress can settle the Cuban question by recognsz- ing the belligerent rights of the Cubans and that should have been done long since. I believe the house will pass the senate resolution sent to it duh.ng the special session if that measure Is brought before it, but it is quite doubtful whether 1t will be allowed to consider it."

By Order Of Lieutenant Lowering, On His
 Own Authority.
TESTIFIED IN HIS OWN BEHALF
Gave as His Reason For Ordering the Rough Treatment He Would Have Been Ashamed to Let Man Get the Best of Him
 in Discharge of His Duty.


 courtmartial at Fort Sheridan began to- day with the testimony of the last witt ness fer the prosecution, Post Surgeon Henry Lippincott. Th= surgeon said he had been called professionally to see Hammond. He found no bruises to speak of, but the wounds. he said, could have been caused by the use of sword. The judge advocate suggested that the court go over the route traverssd by Hammond when h4 was dragged to the summary court, and here the prosecu- ton rested.
 Attorney Batr for Capt. Lowering, pre- sented several letters in favor of Low ecsing, and Col. Hall, the commandant at Fort Sheridan, was called.
 What report did Capt. Lowering make to you in regard to the affair."" asked Attorney Blair.
 Dragged Hammond With a Rope
 "He told me of Hammoni's refusal to appear before the court in ob :d.ence to my order, and said he had dragged him from the guand house with a rope. I commended him hlghly for his action, but cautioned him to remove the rops from the prisoners feet before he ap- peared in court. I commended his &C., tfon, esps scially because was toli that the prisoner had defied five prison of ficeis in succession
 Col Hunter here intefposed a ques- ton.
 "Col. Hall," he said, eff a report had bsen made to you that Hammond had refused to walk to the summary court, would you have orIdereil him dragged ?' Well, not specifically" said the colo mel, "but I would have used force"
 Sergeant Wootsn, one of the prison officers, gave some new information by making statement that before Capt. Lowering ordered Hammond dragged he, himself, had d7aggsd the prisoner around the guard house by the fees.

 ''Is this testimony thus far given before this court correct?" asked hts attorney
 "Tt is substantially correct" answered the captain. "Only the amount of force use has been exaggerated. I stirred Hammond with my sword, but only with a small fraction of my strength I kicked him to make him open his eyes."
 Col. Hunter asked Capt lowering why he had not reported to his commanding g officer the prisoners refusal ito go TO the court postponing action until he received orders from Col. Hall
 'T should have been ashamed" said Capt. Lowering, "to have reported to any person that I allowed a prisoner to ger: the better of me-"
 Could Not Secure a Wagon.
 Could you not secure wagon?" con- tinued the judge-advocate.

 After Capt. Lowering had told of his fifteen years service in the army with out being court -marttalled he was ex- cused and the taking of testimony was over.

ing those that have occurred in our Chicago sky scrapers without serious consequences, 1t Is only question or time when this, practice If persisted Tn will lead to direful results.
 Iron and glass may be incombustible but they are certinly not iireproot and a roaring fire in the attic of twenty story building would be likely to cause a havoc in the way of broken glass from the sky lights and windows ana twisted elevators and pulleys ana cables, not to mention the possibility Of warped or displaced beams and col umns, and with the elevators disabled and the interior court filled with railing. glass, the fire escapes and adjoining buildings, If any, become important ao- ouncts in enabling the department to reach the flames.
 Reduced to it's simplest terms the problem resolves itself into the question or how to get men and water to the i'm perllled spot as quickly as possible. The men must use the elevators If available, carrying their tools, hose and ropes with them. The next most avail able means is the stairway and as last resort the fire escapes. Water will ordinarily be sent through the stand pipes but may have to be conveyed through hose resting on stairways. It is desirable that the fire engines be supplemented by the pumps of the building, but we have no difficulty in | getting a good supply of water on our highest buildings by siamesing three engines.
 Probably the most important element in the solution of the problem is an ad- equate and efficient elevator service, af- fording quick, transit to occupants and | firemen.
 To secure this, extreme care should be taken to have the top of the elevator shaft entirely from exposure to any kind of combustible material which might in burning twist, warp or break pulleys, hangers or cables, and thus bring the service to standstill.

Edgerton's Last Words

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. S.-Sec-
retary Edgerton today replied to
Chairman Washburn's S latest let
ter published in this morning S
papers, and makes charges of a
sensational nature, reiterating
that the Populist party he repre-
sentS will not consent to the
abandonment of silver at 16 to 1
as and issue. He denies having
called the Kansas City confer
ence, and adds
Il have no doubt that the con-
ference at Memphis will adopt
almost any resolution that the
middle-of- -the-road party may
suggest. 1t will be entirely
dominated by this element. All
those so-called Populists who
did what they could to defeat
Bryan last fall, l have no doubt,
will be represented at Memphis.
The Republican spies in our
camp and the Populsts of the
Vandervoot, Dunning aud Mat
thews stripe will doubtless all be
on hand. If you care to father a
conference dominated by these
elements you are at perfect lib
erty to do so, but the Populists
of the great Northwest, who
stand true to silver and all our
principles, will not be there and
will not be bound by any action
which this informal conference
will take"

factious minority unwilling to
abide by the decision of the
majority as expressed at the bal
lot box, appealed from ballots to
bullets, it was Lincoln's unfiinch-

devotion to the Union that caus-
ed the final triumph of republi-
can principles, in that great con-
fiict that deluged our land In
blood. Had he yielded to the
clamor that beset him at times
and allowed the Union to be dis
solved he might have lived to a
ripe old age. But like the Roman
sentinel of old he died at his
post. Like Leonidas, Van
Winkleried and Nathan Hale, he
gave his life for liberty, and like
them, he wears a amartyr's crown.
As military measure he struck
