within the next few DAYS 10 the proposal
Of the United States and Frarce for a
timetable conferences. The United states
timetable commissioners are confident
that the invitation will be accepted but
the movement meets with tho solid oppo-
sition OF British capitalists who argue
that the British financial system Is satis-
factory and that the government should
not be called upon TO assist other govern
ments that may be in distress.
The only argument which weighs Wit"
them In favor OF conference is the FEAR
that unless international action is taken
for the coinage OF silver. the free silver
party Will succeed in the United States
and bring on a financial panic. IN which
British investments would suffer.

In Justice to MT. Atkinson.

Two errors occurred in the pub lishAd call on Alderman Atkinson to become candidate for May or, and the same were not discovered until the parties who did not sign the peti- tion made a protest. These parties are Mf. ". q. Streett and Mr. Wolf Nichols. Instead of IVY. G. Street." it should have been W. c. Steel, and instead of Mr Wolf Nichols" it should have been Mir. ". F. Nichols. The errors were made by the two young men who copied the names from the original petition, and are largely due to the illegible writing. The similarity of the names will at once be recognized.
 We make this statement in justice to Mir. T B. Atkinson.

CHARLES j. GLIDDEN VICE PRESIDENT OF THE SOUTH WESTERN TELEGRAPH AND
 TELEPHONE COMPANY.
Great Things Which Are in Store for Those Who Patronize the Tele-
 phone.

MT. and Mrs. Charles J Glidden, of Lowell, Mass, are notable guests at the Capital, says the Little Rock . cmccrat Mr. Ghdden is Vice President of the Southwestern Tel egraph and Telephone Company, and is making his regular semi annual tour of the country, and is completing arrangements for the ex- tension of the long.distance tele. phone system from Memphis to Helena, Pine Bluff, Little Rock and points in Arkansas and Texas.
 All that is necessary to connect Memphis by telephone with the great Southwest is the building of pole llne to Helena by the Cumber- land Company, and from Helena to Pine Bluff and Malvern, Glarksville, Tex, by the Southwestern Company Work will be commencd by both Companies immediately, and by May l Mempis business men will be receiving their orders from Arkan- sas and Texas points by telephone.
 The Southwestern lines are now in operation from Pine Bluff to Little Rock, Russellville, Hot Springs, Malvern and all intermedi. ate points. They will be extended to Fort Smith and Camden, and from Helena to Marianna and For rest City, and from Malvern to Clarks 5ille, thereby completing tbe connection with all Texas points. It would not be surprising to hear Galveston Tex, hello to Little Rock before the cotton season of 1897 is under way Through this service the cotton manufacturers in the remotest section of New England States will be able to talk with their cotton buyers at Galveston.
 The wire necessary for the long distance service is No. 8 copper, weighing 420 pounds to the mile, and two wires are required This special heavy circuit will be con structed over the following route. Memphis to Helena, Pine Bluff, Little Rock, Texarkana, Paris (Tex) Greenville, Dallas, Colsicanna, Ennis, Hampstead, Houston to Gal weston and will be 750 miles long. This, when completed and joined to the lines extending North aud East, will make the longest telephone cir cult in the world.
 At present the longest distance over which con versation is carried by means of the telephone is from Boston to Memphis

 Science.

Science and skill are ia nearly every Instance the victor in the fight against brute force This fact was axain clearly illustrated last night jn the glove contest between Jimmie Ryan and Red" German, both of whom are well-known in the pugil- istic world.
 At 9:45 o'clock German entered the ring and was given q warm recep- ton. He was closely followed by Ryan, and the cheers which greeted his appearance clearly indicated that he was the favorite.
 Both men stripped well, but to the conniseur it was apparent that Ryan was in the pink of conditiOn while aofii4i4.i, his opponent, lacked l the ease, confidence and agility pos } sessed by Ryan. The latter had the a appearance of a victor His step Was elastic and firm and his self-pos- session was perfect.

 M German possessed the longest VI paeh and weighed at least 10 < pounds more than Ryan; but he did # moi. have the training, quickncss and E skill, and these things lost him the battle in the fifth round. after severe E Punishment. He was game, and Eafter being knocked down five times |Mhpeontinued to struggle to his feet #antil a terrible punch from Ryan's ght placed on his jaw and neck sent slfnl to the floor in the fifth round, '@s'tterly unable to fight again. & The victor was awarded d purse
