Encouragement.
LONDON, Jan. 5.--It is rumored that
Senator Edward o. Wolcott, of Colora-
do, who has been visiting England in
the interest Of bimetallism,is not quite
satisfied with his progress. He has
been delayed in meeting people owing
to their absence from town, and could
not be received by the marquis Of Sails
bury because he had no official creden-
tials. The Timetable league, however,
asgiven to the senator the heartiest re-
ception, and Sir William Houldsworth,
conservative member Of parliament,
who was the British delegate at the
monetary conference at Brussels in
1899, and Lord Alderman, senior part
ner In the firm of Antony Gibbs a.
Sons, bankers and merchants, and
formerly governor now director Of
the Bank Of England, have had long
interviews with him and are aiding
him in every way possible.
Senator Wolcott finds that the posi-.
ton here has remained unchanged
from the time OF the Brussels confer.
ence, namely, that the British govern
ment and the house Of commons are
committed TO do all in their power to
secure by international agreement the
stable monetary par Of the exchange OF
gold and silver. The Bank Of England
is still willing to keep a fifth OF
its reserve in silver bars. But in spite
of the willingness Of Great Britain
which has been expressed to Senator
Wolcott to bring in the minis Of India
into any international agreement
Great Britain under no circumstances
will take the initiative in calling a new
conference. Considering as she does
that the above offers are the
first practical steps toward in
ternational bimetallism taken by
any government, she now wants
to see what practical steps other
governments are willing to take. The
continental powers are equally unwill-
ing to take the lead in calling mon
etary conference, as they unanimously
believe that the United States, both by
It's position and Importance, must take
the initiative.

UNIFORM COIN WANTED.
Congressman Beach Has Unique Schem,
for Congress to Consider.

congressman beacn mas unique scheme
for Congress to Consider.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Representa-
tive Beach is the author of the resolu-
ton for uniform standard of value
in trade and commerce" for the west
ern hemisphere, China, Japan and the
Hawaiian islands. He said yesterday:
hope that an arrangement may be effected
for the holding Of a congress Of the nations on
this hemisphere, together with China, Japan
and the Hawaiian government, which will
agree upon uniform coin-either OF gold or Of
silver-to be used for the purpose Of inter-
national trade between the countries in
terested Every one Of the govern
ments interested In this congress has
coin Of its own. As the coinage Of
metal Is one Of the highest and most carefully
cherished prerogatives Of a government, the
countries are apt TO regard coins Of other ma
tons with some disfavor. This disfavor, take
IT, Is without reason, for, where the gold or sill
coin Of one government has the same amount Of
flneness as that Of another, there is no reason
why the coins should not circulate freely among
the peoples OF nations operating under an in
ternational agreement OF their commercial
value and without discrimination. By the ar
rangement now existing we are compelled to do
business with the countries Of this hemisphere
and with Japan and China through the medium
OF London exchange. The use Of this exchange
is cumbersome and inconvenient, and often in
wolves months Of time in the settlement Of OBJ
legations between the countries.

MAJORITY FOR HANNA.
Ohio Republican Legislators Favor the Ma

Ohio Republican Legislators Favor the Ma
tiOnal Chairman for Senator.
COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 23.-The spacious
lobby of the Hotel Chittenden was
crowded yesterday afternoon and even
ing by members of the general assem-
bly,, state officials and politicians, and
the all absorbing topic was the senior
Ohio senatorship. About 80 members
Of both houses of the legislature came
to attend the reunion, and most Of
them were attracted wholly by
the talk about the senato.ship.
1t was an utter impossibility to get
Q poll of the members upon their
preference in event of a special session
to elect a successor to Senator Sher-
man. Not over half dozen would
even say they had preference. The
drift of sentiment, however, was
against the calling of a special session,
and in favor of the appointment of
Hon. Mark Hanna to succeed Senator
Sherman. This proved to be quite sur
prise to the friends of Gov. Bushnell, who
have maintained that Mr.. Hanna would
not be appointed. Inasmuch as the
legislature is friendly to Gov. Bush
nell it was presumed that 1t would
not look favorably upon Mr.. Hanna.
But there were points upon which they
had not reckoned. Many Of the mem
bers want to be made postmasters un-
der the Mckinley administration, and
as a matter of policy, if nothing more,
they are friendly to Mr.. Hanna.

A TERRIBLE FATE.
Expedition OF Engllshman Wantonly Mas
sacred In West Africa.

hucrcU Ill Weht africa,
LONDON, Jan. ga dispatch from
Lagos capital of the British West
Africa colony of that name, gives the
details of the massacre of the British
expedition under Consul-General s. Il.
Phillips by the inhabitants of Benin
City early during the present month.
The party was pnarmed and was pro-
ceeding to Benin City in order to make
u request for palaver, or conference,
with King 0bbeah. The nine officers
were unarmed in order to impress the
king with the peaceful character of
their mission and over 200 ma
tive carriers were taken with the
party to propel their canoes
and carry presents intended for
the king. After proceeding up the
river the expedition landed at spot
about Is miles from Benin City and the
carriers were sent ahead through the
dense jungle, the officers following.
Five miles from Benin City the officers
suddenly came upon 4 narrow de6le
which was filed with the dead carri-
ers, who were fearfully mutilated,
Almost Immediately aftcrward the Of
ficers and their servants were sur
rounded and attacked by hundreds of
savages armed with guns, cutlasses,
spears and clubs and in a few minutes
all the members OF the party excepting
Boisragon and Locke were killed. OF
the $50 carriers only one escaped.

Gate system on Cars Attacked.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. ga bill to
abolish the gate system on railways is
likely to be introduced in the legisla-
ture soon. 1t comes about on account
of rule of the Chicago & Alton rail
way, which has gates on its cars and
does not allow any person to board its
trains, train robbers always excepted,
unless he or she can show ticket. A
long, vigorous protest from the people
along the line has reached the capital
and also the main office of the railway
company, for it is claimed that only
last week the company advised other
roads to try the same system.

WASHINGTON, Jan. a6.-That wing of
the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes
which is opposed to the treaty made
between the Dawes commission and
the Choctaws is now strongly repre-
sented here. 1t proposes to defeat'the
treaty in congress if possible, and in
any event to concentrate its forces in
an effort to hold the matter in allegiance
until the next congress. Members
of the Dawes commission and the Off

that as Secretary Francis will be fully
informed Of the text Of the Plat bill
when he returns from the west to-day,
very little delay will be occasioned in
getting 1t before congress.

Many Of the provisions Of both the
senate and house bills were retained,

II very different bill from that which

educational qualification was ac-
cepted, but its application was
limited to persons between 10 and
30 years. The Corliss amendment
adopted by the house and rejected by

much modified form. As originally
agreed to, the amendment made II un-
lawful to employ any alien in the
United States, As changed, the pro-
hibition is less stringent and is made
to apply only to the employment Of
aliens who habitually come and go
