SENATOR TELLER'S VIEWS.
Thinks Little Will be Done in a Fin
anciaI Legislative Way.

Washington, Nov. 26.-When asked to
give his opinion as to the probability of
legislation affecting the currency during
the approaching session of congress, Sen
ator Teller who has reached this city,
said:
Il do not believe there will be any leg
islatiOn looking to the substitution of
bank notes for green backs and treasury
notes, which appears to be the favorite
method of currency reform, so-called, 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
ers will naturally hesitate to increase the
issue of bank notes in sufficient quantity
to take the place of the entire volume of
greenbacks and treasury notes, and es-
pecially in view of the fact that the re-
demption of bank notes must, to satisfy
the demands of the currency reformers,
be in gold"
Senator Teller said he considered it
quite certain that the president would
make some recommendation upon the cur
rency problem to congress, but he of
the opinion that the suggestion would be
in general terms, as in his inaugural
message. and that the president also will
leave the details to congress.
The senator expressed doubt as to
Whether the administration WouIu take
any steps looking to the encouragement
of the Cubans in their war for independ-
ence.
Il think" he said "that congress can
settle the Cuban question by recognizing
the belligerent rights of the Cubans, and
that should have been done long since. I
believe the house will pass the senate res
olution sent to it during the special ses-
sion if that measure is brought before it,
but it is quite doubtful whether it will be
allowed to consider it at all"

GOES OVER TO SILVER.
Lansing Journal Leaves the Gold
Wing of the Democrats.

Lansing, Mich, Nov. 26.-The Lansing
Journal owned by ex-Postmaster Louis
E. Rowley, was one of the most vigorous
and uncompromising gold Democrat news
papers in the country during the last
campaign.
Editor Rowley created genuine sensa-
ton by publishing a four column editorial.
in which he puts the paper squarely in
the regular Democratic column, and
swears allegiance to the national organ
ization, its policies and its leaders. 1t
declares for Democratic reconciliation and
reunion, the excuse for its conversion be-
ing that the shameful excuses of Re-
publicanism are worse than any threat
ened evils of Populism, and even free sill
yer would be a toIerable alternative to
the present reign of demagogism and in.
competence at Washington
While making this change of policy, the
Journal takes occasion to say that in the
last campaign the gold Democrats were
fighting for what they believed to be true
principles of the Democratic faith, and
the silver wing of the party is credited
with the same sincerity of purpose.

Alaskan Exploration Co. is Building
Four Steamers

San Francisco. Nov 26.-The Roths-
childs, through the San Francisco house
of Liebes & Co, are about to enter the
Alaskan trade.
Four steamers are being built in Sec
lions by w H. Brick & Co, the owners
of the California machine works. When
this contract is fulfilled, the machinery
and timbers will be sent to Dutch Har-
Dor, near Alaska to be set up. The
firm will then build nine bargeS in sec
lions to follow the material for steam
boat building and the barges will like
wise be put together at Dutch Harbor
All of this work is being done for the
Alaska Exploration company which
was Incorporated about four months
ago with a capital of one million dol
lars.
Isaac Liebes. in speaking of this pro-
ject said that it is proposed to have
the steamers and barges ready for bus
mess when the ice breaks in the Yukon
in June. He said that the Rothschilds
are interested in the venture, which was
arranged in London five months ago
and there is practically unlimited cap
ital behind it. Besides doing a general

MRs. BELMONT YOUNGER.
Secret Lies in Her Hair Which Has
Been Changed From Its Natural
Color of Black

New York, Nov. 26.-Those who know
Mrs. Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont by
sight have discovered a marked change
in her appearance. She looks ten years
younger than she did a month ago.
and the resemblance between her and
her daughter, the Duchess of MARI
borough, is stronger than ever.
Mrs Belmont has dyed her hair. 1t
used to be black, almost raven black.
That Was-weI, several years ago Her
friends told her that the touch of silver
lent an added charm to her beauty and
gave a sOftness to her features that
was lacking before; but she has not
listened to their advice, and now has
hair of color which is known in the
trade as mo. 4 CHESTNUT sort of
reddish brown.
To effect this change in the highest
style of the art costs from $50 to $50
Mrs BelmOnt's new tint is the most
expensive of all. AS the operation has
to be repeated at least twice a month,
at similar cost, it will be seen that
such departure from nature involves
considerable expenditure

NO LIQUOR FOR INDIANS.
Sweeping Orders Against the Traffic
in the Territory.

Muskogee, I. T, Nov. 26.-Judge Springer
and Indian Agent Wisdom of this place
have issued the most sweeping orders ever
given out regarding the liquor traffic in
the Indian Territory. Agent Wisdom has
directed his Indian police to arrest all
persons found with liquor in their pos
session, or who are in an intoxicated con-
dftion, and turn them over to the United
States marshals.
Judge Springer has ruled that all per-
sons brought before him who are found
in possession of intoxicating liquors, or
in an intoxicated condition, will be re-
quired to prove from whom they purchas-
ed the liquor under penalty of being de-
clared in contempt of court if they refuse
to do so.

TO STOP THEIR PAY.
a New Plan Proposed to Obtain Or
der in the Reichsrath.

Vienna, Nov. 26.-When the lower house
| of the reichsrath reassembled yesterday,
! after adjourning from the scene of IN
! precedented disorder on the previous night,
all the ministers were present and the APP
proaches to the presidential tribune were
blocked, doors having been erected since
the disgracefuI fighting in and about the
tribune and throughout the house.
The entrance of the president of the
chamber, DR.. Abrahamovics, was the sig
nal for loud and ironicaI saIutes which
were followed by vehement Leftists'
shouts of shame"
DR.. Abrahamovics made an attempt to
speak, but DR.. Wolff, the German Ma
tionalist leader, interrupted him by shout
ting: Someone else must take the chair
not this swindler.'
Herr Schoenerer, the leader of the sec
ton of the German opposition, then yelled
at the top of his voice: Il demand the
right to speak, which 1 am entitled to-
Thereupon DR.. Wolff retorted: There
is such thing as right in this house.
1t is trodden under foot by his NAM
alukes."
AS the uproar which followed showed
every sign of increasing, Dr. Abraham
OWES adjourned the house until o'clock
amid storm of ''hurrahs'' and bravo"
The sitting was resumed at $780, I'M
mediately the Leftists commenced a tre-
mendous din, in the middle of which the
German Centrist, Herr Falkenhyn, con-
ceived as a happy idea proposal to COW
obstructionists by threatening their peck
cts. He moved that, for the future, dis
orderly members might be suspended for
three days by the president or for thirty
days by the house, during which time
their allowance should be stopped, while
members refusing to leave the chamber
when requested might be forcibly ex-
PEELED.
The speech was interrupted with contin-
uous uproar, Herr Wolff shouting: Lets
pitch the blackguards OUT
The president vainly called for order.
Finally Herr Wolff stationed himself d.
rectly in front of the presidential trib-
une and began a shrin whistle a num-
Der of deputies tried to force open the
doors at the front of the platform, while
a party Of Czechs endeavored to prevent
them.
When the tumult was at it's height Herr.
Abrahamovics declared that he regarded
the motion of Herr FaIkenhyn as a. neces-
sary measure of self-defense, and called
for the voting. The whole Right at once
arose, and the president declared the mo,
ton carried. A number of deputies then
began clambering upon the presidents
platform, VIII ereupon he seized his bell and
left the house
After short interval he returned and
began to address the chamber, but his
voice was drowned in a torrent of Leftist
yells and shouts of "get OUT and
shame" Finally the sitting was sus-
pended for an hour, at the close of which
President Abrahamovics returned and an
nounced that, in accordance with wishes
expressed in many quarters, he had decid-
ed to close the sitting, to open again to-
day.

AROUND THE WORLD.

When Jules Verne's imaginary jour
ney around the world in eighty days
was demonstrated by Nellie Bly,, who
made the trip in a much shorter period,
the attention of the whole country was
attracted to the performance. The
time seems now not far distant when
the trip can be made in less than half
the time allowed by the great novelist.
The railroad which Russia is con-
structing across Siberia is probably
destined to revolutionize existing
lines of travel.
In the construction of the road across
Siberia, connecting st. Petersburg and
Vladivostok, work is progressing from
the latter point westward and from
Irkutsk or therea bout eastward. Rus
sian engineers estimate that the entire
work will be completed within three
years. When completed it will be by
faraway the longest line of railroad in
the world, but will make, in compari-
son with existing lines of travel, a
short route from San Francisco to st.
Petersburg. The road is now in opera
ton some 400 miles from Vladivostok
west
Sailing vessels can run from San
Francisco to Vladivostok within forty
days. Steamer time should not be more
than twenty days at the outside. AS
soon as the trans-S Siberian road is fin
ished and opened for travel, the Rus
SLAMS will establish a regular line of
steamships to ply between San Fran
cisco and Vladivostok 1t is highly
probable the American city will derive
many commercial advantages by rea-
son of Siberian development. The
country is known to be rich in all kinds
of mineral resources
Tourists of wealth and leisure, who
find their keenest enjoyment in select
ing new lines of travel in journeys
around the world, will appreciate the
new path of travel from San Francisco
to St. Petersburg.
Should the owner of a high power
swift steam yacht fancy a run around
the world against time, he might trav-
el from San Francisco to VladivOstok
in fifteen deys, charter a special and
go to Vladivostok in eight days then
allow four days time from St. Peters
burg to London, six days across the
Atlantic. five days from New York to
San Francisco. and thus complete the
trip in thirty eight days, knocking for
ty-two spots from Jules Verne's ideal
record of eighty days.
With the building of railroads north
ward along the Pacific coast in the di-
rection of the Alaskan gold fields,
which will probably follow the deveI-
opment of the United States northern
territory, the time is likely to be still
further shortened. Even an all soil
route to Paris is considered a POSSIBLE
ity by many well informed persons.
Boring strait is narrow and thickly
studded with islands. so that with the
rapid progress being made in engf-
neerings what now seems little more
than a dream, may become reality in
a few years.
One fact in connection with the
building of the Siberian railroad, is
lhet the material used in the construc-
tion of the eastern end, is being ship
ped from this country

CRIES AND CURSES.

Late Hour Last Night.

Last evening at 1920 o'clock, resi-
dents in the vicinity of King and Blu
chanan streets, in Tennesseetown. were
aroused by the cries of a woman and
the curses of a man.
People came from their houses to see
what all the trouble was about They
saw Frank Bradford and Betty Brown
having a physical argument. The wo-
man screamed for help, while her IN
gallant companion beat her and was
loud in his curses.
Mark Oglesby, who lives near there,
came to the rescue, and with a club
forced Bradford back. In a remarka-
bly, short time a large crowd had col
lected- Bradford made his escape.
TennesseetOWn was much agitated
over the affair. The police were mott
ned of the occurrence, and Policeman
Perkins was sent to arrest Bradford.
Bradford has the nickname of Crack
er," and he is porter at Oscar Shat
fer's barber shop. A few minutes af-
ter the trouble in Tennesseetown, Per-
kins found Bradford in a resort on
East Seventh street. He arrested him
and started for police station. Brad
ford resisted, and Perkins claims Brad
ford struck him. Perkins then landed
a heavy fist blow on the prisoner which
knocked him down, and when he got
up ne was submissive.
Today in police court Bradfords trial
was continued to next Tuesday. S. w.
PaSker, VINO lives at 1855 Buchanan
street, said: Bradford was beating
up that girl right in front of my house.
My daughter has been sick for a year,
and that noise made her worse. Brad
ford came out there and said that he
was going to clean out Tennessee
town. In a little while he was fighting
everybody in sight. That isn't the first
time he has made a disturbance out
there
Bradford was required to give bond
for his appearance.
AS his side of the trouble he said:
Me and my sweetheart was out there
and she tried to get a ring off my fin
ger. 1 pushed her away and she still
kept after me. Then Oglesby ran up
and hit me with a club. I wasn't maxi
ing a disturbance, but L admit I was
a little full. Perkins got mad because
I cursed him. I didn't strike him, but
he knocked me down. Those people
out in Tennesseetown have it in for
me-"

NEW MEXICO FIRE SWEPT.
Prairie Fire Has a Clear Sweep of 200
Miles

Clayton, N NJ, Nov. ga prairie
fire is sweeping over the country south
of this point. The grass is very high
and there has been no rain for weeks
The course of the fire is through the
great cattle range belt and for over
200 miles there is no barrier in it's path
The wind is blowing very hard from the
north.
Thousands of sheep are in danger and
are being rushed to places of safety
Should the wind change to the south
which is now indicated by clearing
skies, the danger will not be so great
otherwise there is no estimating the
probable destruction. So far only two
ranches have been destroyed, but many
are now exposed.
