SHERMAN MAKES A PLEDGE
Says He Will Try and Keep the Green
backs in Use.

Cincinnati, Jan. 29.-The following cor
respondence is published by the Times
Star:
1.-The Hon. John Sherman. Washington.
D. C.-Dear Sir:-I am gratified to see the
ment of the greenbackS. 1 am in favor OF
the government using the S100, O0O, 900 now
retired and held that they may be reis-
sued according to government receipts
and deficiencies, and paid out when need
ed and retired when receipts of revenues
are sufficient. One dollar barrel on
beer would increase the revenue, and
thus save the government from issuing
more bonds. Your obedient servant,
JOSEPH F. LAKIN-"
'P. 81 would amend the national
banking laws to allow new banks,
authorized by the deposit of silver bull
deposited with the mint, and the certifi-
Gates therefor pledged to secure circula-
ton, and allow the old banks to retire
their bonds and put in bullion on same
rate and terms, and make the circulation
notes free from taxes, state municipal.
Then our nation will soon become the
money leading nation of the world, where
now we have to pay the taxes, but the
state does not get the revenue, as you
well know. Yours obediently.
JOSEPH F. LAK1N."
Omitted States Senate Chamber, WASH
kin, My Dear Sir:-Your note of the 18th
is received. I agree with you in your
opinion as to the proper financial policy,
and WILL so far as can, seek to carry 1t
out. Yours very truly,
John SHERMAN"

To the Cleveland's Annual Reception
to the Judiciary.

Washington, Jan. 29.-President and
Mrs Cleveland gave their annual re-
ception to the judiciary and to the

The scene within the mansion was a
brilliant one, and there We're many elab-
crate toilets The decorations of the
east room and the state parlors were
elaborate.

located is legal daughter of this proud state al
though she has taken up her abode on the soil of
Missouri.
We're soon to launch a great sale here-a great
sale Of fine clothing and furnishings We want to
sustain reputation as true Kansans by breaking
some records in low priced selling. We want to do
it as we did 200 miles west Of here in the eighties
when we sold goods to people as far as hundred
miles out over the plains. Prices did it then
Prices are to be depended upon to do it again-and
here-and very soon-you won't have much longer
to wait. Keep watch the Topeka Dailies.

1t Will Be Accepted By the Haytian
Government.

Port Au Prince, Dec 6.-The trouble
between Germany and Hayti as a re-
suit Of the arrest and imprisonment Of
Herr Lueders, reached a crisis today.
Two German cruisers entered the port
during the morning and the ultima>
tum from the German government was
delivered to the Haytian government,
giving the latter eight hours in which
to meet the demands of Germany for
indemnity to Herr Lueders In antici-
patton OF trouble, the citizens OF Ger
man nationality sought refuge on
board the two steamers at this port,
and a French steamer, the Hille de
Marseille, was requisitioned by the
French ministry in order to serve as a
place of refuge for French citizens.
6 p. m.-The population Of the city,
late this afternoon, when this cable
gram is sent, appears calm and pres
ent indications seem to confirm the
superstition cabled earlier today, that
the government will accept the condi-
tions imposed by Germany, SO far as
the money indemnity is concerned. and
it is also probable that in yielding to
a superior force and in order to avoid
international troubles, the government
will accept the other conditions.

THE LOWERING %REPRIMAND.
Secretary Alger Says the Penalty is
Too Light.

Washington, D c., Dec. 6.-Secretary
Alger today made public the reprimand
administered to Capt. Lowering by the
sentence OF the court-martial as fol-
lows:
by order Of the president, the pro-
%ceedings, findings and sentence in the
case of Capt. Leonard A. Lowering,
Fourth infantry, are approved. It Is,
however, disappointing that an offense
so grave and as an example, so Tar
reaching as this should have been visit
ed with SO light a penalty There is no
question but that Private Hammond
deserved punishment for his conduct,
but he should have received it in a law
full way.
THE military laws governing the
army are explicit. They prescribe the
duties of officers and enlisted men, with
penalties for their violation. Under
them both have rights and obligations.
When, therefore, an officer with the in
telligence and experience with which
Capt Lowering is credited, not only vio-
lates these laws but exhibits such a
lack Of humanity as was shown in this
case he should receive a more severe
sentence than a mere reprimand Com
hitting such acts degrade the officer
more than the soldier he Furnishes and
shows unfitness for the care and COM
mand of men Under excitement men
frequently do things which in sober
moments they recall with sorrow and
regret, but this case is aggravated by
the fact that after weeks Of delibera-
ton this oficer evinces no regard for
his wrong acts"

She Regains Consciousness Enough to
Recognize Her Friends.

Canton, O.. Dec. 6.-There was an
agreeable surprise to the children and
friends gathered about the bedside Of
Mrs. Nancy Allison Mckinley this af-
ternoon. She regained Ds%ciousness
sufficiently to recognize not only her
children. but to extend greeting to them
and to others who were e Nour-
ishment was given about noon. 1t was
soon after this that she manifested
signs of returning consciousness. The
first nourishment received for several
days had a telling effect and she at
once rallied. There is again stronger
hope that she may recover sufficiently
to survive until the president reaches
her bedside tomorrow morning. and
perhaps recognize him. There is not a
thought. however, that she will ever re-
gain complete consciousness.
At 1920 tonight Mrs Mckinley was
exceedingly low. She has just exper>
fenced another sinking spell, during
which life seemed to be almost ex-
tinct. There are some moments when
she does not seem to breathe. If she
rallies from this spell, she will prob
ably survive the night, but just now
1t seems doubtful that she will rally.
Her pulse Is weak and uncertain and
her breathing is difficult.
At lis a. m, Mrs. Mckinley seemed
even weaker than an hour ago, al
though there is no more marked indi-
cation of the coming dissolution She
may live till morning, but it now SENS
doubtful.

that the panel was completed when the

drawn was excused. The attorney fol
