NOT NOW.
Lord Salisbury Firmly Declines
to Enter
Into Any international None
tary Conference.
SEES NO GOOD IN 1T
Is Ready to Listen to Any other
Suggestion
Looking to Par Exchange OF
Gold and Silver.

London. Oct. 2L-Lord Salisbury has
sent to Ambassador Hay the reply of the
British government to the proposals of
the American bimetallic commission head
ed by Senator Wolcott. 1t is a diplomat
ically worded note.
His lordship says the government of
Great Britain is not able to reopen the
Indian mints at present. He regrets the
inability to accede to the American pro-
posals, Great Britain having as great an
interest the United States and France
in securing stable par exchange for
gold and silver and an enlarged use of
silver
In these circumstances, continues Lord
Salisbury, the British government does
not see the desirability of an International
monetary conference, but will be pleased
to consider any other practical sugges-
dons from the United States.
Lord Salisbury enclosed with the note
a copy of the statement of Sir J. West
land, head of the financial department of
India, which was under discussion at the
urday and which takes strong grounds
against the reopening of the Indian mints.
Senator Wolcott is not in London.
Ambassador Andrew White came from
Berlin last Saturday. He has avoided
publicity, but has had several conferences
with Senator Wolcott. In the course of
an interview with the correspondent of
the Associated Press Mr.. White said that
Germany's action as to bimetallism will
depend upon England.

FATAL TO NORTHERNERS.
They Seem to Fail Easy Victims to
the YeIloW Favar

New Orleans, Oct. 21-Ar previous rec
ords as to the number of new cases was
broken yesterday. Early in the even
ing 50 new cases had been entered on the
books of the board. At the same time
there had been six deaths. These had
all occurred during the early morning
hours and it was characteristic of the
deaths that, although there had been six
reported up to o'clock, not one of them
had occurred since noon. The weather
was not unlike that of the entire week.
It has been cool and sultry during the
night and early morning and calculated
to produce fatalities. OF the deaths two
three were the results of poor treat
ment.
The most notable death of the day was
that of Ira T. Britton- He was manager
Of the General Electric company here. He
had come here about a year ago from
Columbus, o. Pascal Maggestrano, who
said he was from Kansas City, walked in
to the charity hospital Tuesday night and
said he was i'll. A rapid diagnosis show
ed that the man was suffering from yell
low fever. He was quickly taken out to
the isolation hospital but he had not
been there many hours before he died.

AID ENGLISH STRIKERS.
Organized Workmen on Trans Allan.
tic Steamers to be Called Out

New York, Oct. 21.-WeH founded ru-
NOR has it today that the big organiza-
tion known as the Amalgamated So
ciety of Engineers, whose members are
on a strike in England, is about to play
a trump card to bring the large cOrpor-
ations and firms in that country to
terms by calling out on a strike all
the engineers, firemen, machinistS and
other organized wOrknen employed on
the Transatlantic steamers.
1t was reported that the British
branches of the engineers society have
communicated with the chief officer of
the American Federation of Labor and
the order of the K. of L. in the United
States and Canada on the subject of a
general strike on all the steamship lines
in which British corporations and indi-
viduals have an interest and who are
in any manner opposing the striking
engineers in England.
The executive board of the New York
branch of the Amalgamated Society of
Engineers held a conference yesterday
with President GOmpers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. Mr.. GOmpers
would not state today the object of the
meeting, but admitted that it was re-
quest for aid in the great strike so long
in progress.

With Fatal Results.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-While Henry Panpert
and his wife, 442 West Chicago avenue,
were asleep Saturday night their 10
months-old son found bottle of whisky
in closet and drank a portion of it. The
chnd's cries awakened them and they
found him in commissions. He died before
a doctor could be called.
Although an investigation proved to the
health department that the parents were
not responsible for the child's death, aside
from their carelessness, a burial certth-
cate was refused until coroners inquest
had been held and a verdict returned free
ing them of all blame in the matter.

HOME CITY OF THE Q. s.
Capt. James w. Steele Revisits Tope-
ka and Passes a Complim ent.

Captain James w. Steele of Chicago,
and formerly of Topeka, has been visit
ing in the city for several days looking
up data for a history of Kansas to be
published by the Santa Fe road. Mr..
Steele is one of the ablest literary men
of the day. He is the author of Sons
of the Border" "Old California Days.
Cuban Sketches and several historical
novels of Cuban life and history. Cap
tain Steele was for several years editor
of the Kansas Magazine and his editOri-
ais and articles were widely read. He
championed the cause of John J. ingalls,
when he was a candidate for the senate.
When ingalls, was elected Captain Steele
was appointed consul general to Cuba,
where he became a master of the Span
ish language and the author of several
books descriptive of life in Cuba
Captain Steele has just returned from
an extended visit in Arkansas and Mis-
souri,, where he was in search of infOrma-
ton regarding the development of the
country He was very much surprised
to note the change that had taken place
in Topeka since he had been here and
pronounced it the best home city he
knew of in the United States. THE
homes he said, ARE neat and tidy and
the appearance is far better than in many
of the wealthy suburban home towns of
the larger cities. Evanston, just out of
Chicago, is considered the model residence
suburb of Chicago, but there the palatial
residence. costing a quarter of a mil
lion, can be seen by the side of some tum-
bIed down cottage that is worth but $50.
''The dairy industry of Kansas is a sur
prise to me, and the helping hen has a
marvellous record. I have obtained Won
derfuI statistics showing the great pay
ments made by farmers on their indebt-
edness. Kansas is certainly in a better
condition than any other state in the
Union"

Secretary of the Interior Bliss
Speaks for Tracy.
Tells His Audience That Kan
sas is Sending Money
TO AID HENRY GEORGE
Gov. Frank M. Black Pleads for
Partisanship.
Henry Georges First Appear
ance in Brooklyn.

New York, Oct. 21.-General Benjamin
F. Tracy. candidate for mayor. and Sec
retary the Interior Bliss and Governor
Frank NJ. Black addressed an audience
of 1,5O0 persons at a Republican meeting
held last night in the Lenox Lyceum. Sec
retary Bliss in the course of his remarks
said:
There are two candidates in the town
standing on the Chicago platform. one
squarely,the other not saying much about
it, but there just the same.
There has been criticism about men
coming from Washington and Ohio and
Nebraska and other places to speak to
the people of New York p thought 1
had a right as citizen of this town to
come. 1 have seen Senators Thurston
and Foraker come here before, and some
of our friends who now criticise them for
coming were then glad to see them. They
did not come to tell you what to do, but
to find out what you are going to do.
''The state of Kansas is raising money
for Georges campaign. Funds to elect
George are being contributed by Kansas
people. I can say that I hear from all
over the country. What is New York GO
ing to do? They ask: Are the people
of New York going back on what they
did last year,?
THAT is the question. There is but one
thing for the great Republican party to
do 1t is to get behind General Tracy,
elect him mayor Of this great city and
guarantee for four years honest govern
ment in every way and concurrence with
the country in honest money and the kill
ing of anarchism and everything that
goes with the Chicago platform"
When General Tracy arose to speak he
met with ovation, but it was not as
lasting as the one he got when he enter
ed with Secretary Bliss.
General Tracy, in his speech, dweIt
largely on Brooklyn politics and made an
argument against the Citizens union.
Governor Frank Black of New York was
the next speaker. In the course of his
speech he said
1.-The heresies that were loud and de-
fant last year have not been converted
nor subdued.
''They are active, hopeful and determin-
ed and desertions from their ranks are
few. Those who are now falling down
retiring from the fight, or Interpreting
visions of their own. come mainly" from
the ranks of those that fought for order
and the supremacy of law. It is a strange
element in human nature that cements
together those who pursue 4an evil OBJ
ject, while the friends of just cause will
soon grow weak and scatter.
Contests now are waging in many
states and cities of this country. The
same army that threatened us last fail
is again abroad, under the same COM
manders, in the same cause, with the
same purpose, but moving in smaller
groups. Every victory they win now in
separate companies, every element of
strength you permit them to acquire in
detachments, will be used against you in
every contest hereafter. when their forces
are massed again in one complete, and
perchance victorious, army" He closed
with an appeal to stand by the party.

ways.

of ChamberIain's Cough Remedy and
the many good recommendations in

a first trial of the medicine. To say that
it was satisfactory in it's results. is
