Milwaukee Motor Line Worth Half q
Million Sold for Almost Nothing.
MILWAUKEE, June 2S.-The Milwau-
kee and Wauwatosa motor line was sold
at public auction for $43, 500. The prop
erty was bid in by @. f. Rosenkrantz.
While the purchase is popularity sup
posed to be for the street railway com-
pany, this is strongly denied. The sale,
has been the most disastrous ever con-

CURRENCY REFORM BILL,

Measure to BE Submitted at the Regular
Session of Congress.
CHICAGO, June %. "A special to The
Times Herald from Washington says:
Currency reform is to be the chief
business Of congress next winter.
President Mckinley has decided fully
that he will not send to congress at this
session a message suggesting the crea-
ton Of a currency commission, as he
had intended a short time since. In
stead of committee to investigate the
subject and report to congress, an ad-
ministration bill is to be drawn and pre-
sented to congress next winter, The
preparation of this measure il to be the
special work of Secretary Gage, but he
il to have the assistance Of Comptroller
Eckels and number of other officials
and public men who are also close stu
dents of the currency and banking ques-
ton.
VIII BE Prepared by Gage.
This measure, when prepared, ia to be
submitted to the president and after re-
eeiying his approval will go to Speaker
Reed, and a number of senator's. If
any Of these have serious objections to
its details, an effort will be made to
harmonic differences, so that when the
work Of passing it through congress is
entered upon, there may be no delay
through Republican dissention. The
measure will be In line with the best
and most modern system Of banking
and currency, and an effort will be
made to put the national banking and
national currency systems upon a
thoroughly modern and scientific basis.
There will be ample provision for a
safe and elastic credit currency on some
plan similar to that employed in Can
ada or to that recommended in what is
known as the Baltimore plan. The
gold reserve will be protected as other
nations protect their bullion reserves.

MORE TALK THIS WEEK
Indications That Balance of
the Tariff Bill Will Be De-
bated at Length.
Republican Differences on Ger
tain Questions to Be Taken
Advantage Of.
Leaders Still Hopeful, How
ever, the Bill Will Pass
by Saturday.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.--The Repub-
lican tariff managers are still hopeful
that the present may prove to be the
last week of the tariff debate in the
senate. All the schedules have been
gone over once, leaving nothing to be
done but to consider the paragraphs in
the various schedules which have been
passed when reached In their regular
order because Of differences of opinion
among the Republicans themselves.
Many of these differences have been adj
justed in the Republican ranks, but the
Democrats will naturally take advantage
of their knowledge of the feeling exist
ing among their opponents to
Debate Some Questions at Length.
1t is understood now that coal, leather,
hides and lead ore will be vigorously
discussed, as will also the questions,
though more briefly, OF reciprocity, the
treatment Of trusts and the disposition
of the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty.
In view of the determination of the
Democrats to exploit all these questions
and others as well, it would seem impos-
sible to conclude the senate's work on
the bill before the end of the week, and
it is more than probable that the final
work will be reserved for the following
week.
Its Return to the House.
Regarding the return of the bill to the
house Congressman McMillin of Ten
nessee says: 81 presume that the men,
bers of the committee ON ways and
means will be permitted to discuss the
bill when it gets back to the house of
representatives. OF course, we may ex-
pect the majority to apply the gag, but
there will certainly be given to US suffi-
cient time to discuss the measure which
comes from the senate, because it is an
entirely different measure from that
which originated in the house. 1t is
not likely that we will be allowed to
&scuss the paragraphs of the bill, but
we will surely be permitted to debate
the bill in its entirety. Consequently,
can say now, as said at the begin
ming of this extraordinary session, that
the congress will be here until the dog
days, and maybe longer"

the Accident.

KANSAS CITY, June 28.--Seven coffins
were forwarded to st. Louis during the
day from Missouri City. They con-

The postal authorities report that
probably nearly all Of the mail carr.ed
on the train was lost or destroyed.
The Cause of the Accident.
Where the accident occurred Is
trestle over what is ordinarily dry
stream, The recent heavy rains caused
it to rise rapidly and the supports to
the trestle were carried away. The en-
gine passed over but the tender went
through. The baggage car toppled off
on its side, while the mail car, which
followed, pitched into the stream end
first. Every life in this car was lost.

Gus injury. The chair car next behind
also plunged in upon the mass of
wreckage and all its passengers were
thrown to the forward end in a inde-
scripable heap. How they escaped with
no more serious injury is mystery.
The front end Of the sleeper, next in the
rear, jammed into the protruding end Of
the chair car, and was thus prevented
following the others into the chasm.
