SENATOR TURPIE HOME
THE INDIANA STATESMAN DIsIN-
CLINED TO TALK TARIFF,
And Is Extremely Reticent on the Cur
rency -Ex-Representative
TraceweH in Town.

Senator Turpie has returned home and
will spend the summer in Indianapolis. He
intimated to his friends some time ago that
he would be candidate to succeed him
self If the Democrats should carry the next
Legislature and it looks as if Ex-Governor
Matthews, John Gilbert Shanklin and John
w. Kern would have TO wait a while.
Senator Turpie though he can talk for
a day or two on the floor Of the Senate,
is somewhat famous for his reticence with
newspaper men and he was in no garrul-
Gus mood when g. Journal reporter found
him upon the veranda of his home on Cap
itol avenue last evening.
Il don't care to be interviewed on any
thing" he said graciously, as soon as his
visitors business was made known. 1t was
suggested that the people would be inter
ested in any expression he might make
upon the final passage of the tariff bill.
II have expressed myself fully on that
subject" said the senator, and the subject
was closed.
He was asked whether the Senate would
act upon a currency measure at the next
session.
What do you mean by currency" asked
the senator briefly. The reporter explained
the definition that mad been taught him
in the political economy class at college.
There is wide distinction between coin
and currency" said Senator Turpie. Did
you ever notice a bank check?"
The reporter confessed that he had once
seen a blank one.
Wen. it says pay in currency. Coin is
the money Of ultimate redemption, gold and
silver"
After divulging this secret the senator re-
lapsed into silence He asked if the
Senate would pass a currency measure Of
any kind at the next session.
Il cannot predict the action of the Sen
ate 1t was lucky it a midsummer
night The urchns playing in the street
looked as though they were nice and warm
The senator was asked If free coinage
bill would be presented.
II cannot tell what the Republican steer
ing committee will present Each party has
a steering committee or more properly am
executive committee and these arrange the
order of business. / am not informed of
their plans. do not think the Senate will
pass a bill for currency commission. You
may say that L do not think it can get a
majority"
Il thank you kindly, senator. You have
not told me much, but it is much more
than you ever told me before"
"Humph." replied the senator.

A PITIFUL CASE.
The Strange Condition of Mrs. Fanny
Miller.

A pathetic case was investigated yester-

lives with her family on Geneva street.
Mrs. Miller has been married for seventeen
years and is the mother of three children,
the youngest being seven years of age
was found in bed in stupor from which
she was not aroused for several days.
Since then her mind has steadily grown

is very young, when in fact she is forty
seven years of age. Lately Mrs. Miller has
suffered a complete loss of memory and
fails to recognize the members of her fam
ilY.

The full amount accruing to the Uni
ted States from the sale cannot be
given exactly, but it is estimated to be
SOS, O65, 748.40. 1t was impossible to de
termine the fun amount at the time
Of the sale, for the reason that the
monthly statement made by the sec
rotary of the treasury to the manage-
ment of the Union Pacific on the first
Of every month was not available. and
1t was found necessary to estimate
some items, although it is admitted by
both sides that the estimates are ap-
p~roximately correct.
The amount due to the government
is made up as follows: Principal Of
debt, $27, 23G, 512; interest paid by the
government up to Sept. 30, 1897, $780,
S3O,SSS.S7; interest accrued by Sept. 30.

quarter ending Sept. 80, and for the
month of October, including govern
ment earnings and the interest on bonds

After the sale was concluded General
Corwin, the representative Of the gov
eminent, was assured by the commit
tee that if the amounts were not accu-
rately figured or should differ from the
figures given, whatever may be lack
ing would be paid by the committee,
and will in no W a be allowed to inter-
fere with the confirmation of the sale.
There was no opposition to the com
mittee, and no bids were offered against
theirs.
A protest was presented from Man
aging Receiver Frank Trumbull, of the

road, against the sale with the Union
Pacific property of two miles of track

after reading the protest, announced
that any prospective purchaser of the
road must be willing to encounter the
consequence Of the protest, and that
no guarantee of their ownership by the
Union Pacific was included in the sale.
This was agreeable to the r|eorganiza-
ton committee, and the sale proceeded.
