Currency Commission Message.
y Mckinley Likely to Send One to Congress

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The ques-
ton whether the president will send
a special message to congress, recon-
mending the creation of a currency
commission, will be definitely decided
next week. The president is strongly
inclined at this time to send a. special
currency message to congress, regard
ing himself as in a considerable meas
ure pledged to this course. In fact
it was semi-oHcially announced at the
White house late this afternoon that
such message would be. sent to con-
gress next week. but some of the
presidents most influential advisers on
financial questions are opposed to a
message as impolitic at this time, ow
ing to hostility to commission on the
part of congress and the final de-
termination as stated, will not be
reached until Mr.. McKinley'ss return
from Canton THE executive commit
tee of the indianapolis sound money
convention has been actively advecat-
ing the commission scheme ever since
the advent of the present administra-
ton. 1t has had also the sympathy Of
the president, who committed himself
to it in his inaugural. q President Nc
Kinley, however did not care to recon-
mend 1t to congress while the tariff
hill was pending, lest it might COM
plicate and delay action upon the
mea sure.
But all along the chief difficulty
which presented itself to those who
favored a commission for the investi-
cation of the currency system has been
the opposition it would encounter in
congress. While bill for the creation
of a commission could easily be passed
in the house where -factieus opposition
would be unavailing against the oper-
alton of a cloture order that would
bring it to a vote, such opposition in
the senate might be almost intermin-
able Several of the silver senators
have openly avowed their unalterable
hostility to the creation of commits
sion, and Senator Teller, OF Colorado,
has declared that he would remain
here until December to defeat 1t. This
being the situation it is understood
that some of the members of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Indianapolis
convention are now inclined to believe
that 1t would perhaps be a. mistake to
press their request for the creation Of
a commission by congress. The bet
ter and wiser thing to do, some OF
them now think, would be to withdraw
their request for commission and to
use the provisional power vested in the
committee by the Indianapolis conven-
ton and themselves select commits
sion to investigate the currency ques-
ton and present their conclusions
through the public press. If those con-
clusions were such as the adminis-
tration could subscribe to they could
be made the basis Of an administration
measure, modified as Secretary Gage,
conducting an independent fnvestlga
ton, might suggest. -
The secretary has been at work for
some time on a comprehensive cur
rency reform scheme and some sug-
gestion has been made as. to the wis.,
dom of not having further agitation
of the question but of permitting Mr..
Gage, who has the full confidence Of
business men generally, TO frame
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-07-03

measure after such consultation as he
may desire with financiers, business
men, members of the house and senate
and others. The matter was under
discussion at the cabinet meeting to-
day. but not in manner to lead to
a definite conclusion or policy, and
the matter went over until the presi-
dents return to the city next week
when it is probable that H. H Hanna,
who is chairman of the executive COM
mlttee of the Indianapolis convention,
and perhaps other members of the
committee, will come to Washington to
discuss the situation with the president
and Mr.. Gage. Upon the result of the
conference will probably depend Presi-
dent McKinley's action as to a special
message to congress.

A Hollow Victory for Cornell.
Last of Varsity Races Almost Fiasco

and finally after crossing the line her
crew found themselves almost incap-
able of any further work. AS if to eX-
hibit proWeSs and wonderfully hus-
banded strength, the Cornell coXswain
turned his boat around and rowed up a
mile and quarter above the finish to
salute the defeated Pennsylvania and
then returned to the boat house.
There was really no race to describe.
During the first three-quarters of a
mile the contest was rather pretty.
Pennsylvania took the water first with
a quick, jerky stroke, Columbia follow
ing. and Cornell hanging to the rear
with her slow, measured 80. At the
quarter of mile Pennsylvania had
lead of half a length over Columbia,
and Columbia one-half a length over
Cornell. Pennsylvania was, however,
splashing badly. At the half mile
Pennsylvania was rowing "a ,and Co.
lumbia 33, while Cornell, with her 80
stroke, was decreasing the lead. At
Sylvania had three-quarterS of
length still over Cornell, who had
pulled on beyond Columbia for about
half length.
1t was here that the trouble seemed
to begin in the Pennsylvania boat
Just prior to the starting of the race
the steamer Tremper, of the Albany
as the boats were lined up and, al
though warned by the referee and the
police boats, would not stop. The
swells that she made were blown back
by the south wind, and the local ref
cree, Harris S. Reynolds, started the
crews while the swells were running,
though Coach Ward, of Pennsylvania,
protested against starting. When Cor
nelIs boat on the outside hit them they
were long swells and the sharp boat
cut them in two, converting them into
a choppy sea SO that when they hit
Pennsylvania's shell they washed
over the side. 1t was here that Cor
nell's clever rowing was in evidence,
for while the beautiful form of that
crew kept the oars from touching these
swells during the feather, the Penn
sylvania oars hit them with so much
force as to throw part of them into
the boat
SHELL SWAMPED.
By the time the crews had reached
the mile and a quarter, the Pennsyl-
wanna boat was numbering along, filled
almost to the gunwales, but the men
continued bravely pulling, although
falling far behind Columbia, who, in
rowing inShore to avoid the swells
had lost considerable distance to Cor
nell. From mile and half down
the almost ludicrouS procession began.
Cornell's boat went along against the
head wind as if it had wings, while
Columbia's crew pulled along violent
ly, losing nearly a length In every
quarter mile. Pennsylvania splashed
and fused along, slowly going to the
rear until the two mile and quarter
point was reached, when Coach Ward
came around in the Ben Franklin and
took the crew aboard. From that time
on the race practically lost Its interest

HELPED HER TO SUICIDE.
A Paris Girls Women Friends As
sist Her in Poisoning Herself.

The number of suicides IN Paris in June
was 1S9. of which three-eightlls were
those of women. This is not greatly
above the average for June. which is
with the French, as with other nations,
the fayoTite month of sef-destructlon;
but the record presents several unusual
features among which Is the fact that
u of the suicides died in coupFes, man
and woman together. IfIree OF these
couples tied themselves together before
throwing themselves into the Seine An
other unusual feature is that four per-
sons killed themselves because they we're
starving. This IS common enough IN the
winter months, but rare . sSimmer. NI'he
larger number of suicides had for mo-
tive. as always. unrequited love.
For the last four days NE number Aa&

one comes across any or these that is in
any way interesting, and until yesterday
there had been no case calling for partieu-
lar notice since that of the young Phs!adeI-
phia art student. Miss Wei. whose Sody
was found in the river fortnight ago.
But yesterday another young girl killed
herself under circumstances that will
doubtless cause closer scrutiny than
usual upon the part OF the authorities.
This young girl, Mathilde Ihierry, was
a chorus .Sirl but IL years old. She was
in love with a young nan whom she had
met but once. AS his affections were al
ready placed elsewhere. she saw that her
case was hopeless and decided 10 kill der

which she did. She bought some disin-
fectant paper prepared with corrosive
sublfmate. The four girls made a de-
coction of this in a glass of water, and
then the Thierry girl drank it. In ten
minutes she was dead.
As far as the inquiry into the case
showed. none of the four girls made any
attempt to dissuade the Thierry girl from
drinking the poison. nor did they attempt
to save her life after it was drunk. The
interest of the public in the case now
centers in the question whether or not
any of these four girls can be held as
accessories to the crime Many think
that they should be held responsible in
some measure. So far they have got
nothing but a severe lecture from the
commissary of police of the quarter
