Pekin. Feb. 11-China has consented
to the British demand for a railway
from Berma to Ynnanland, and she also
agreed TO indemnify the kidnapped

Next month the Chinese board of
revenue will pay salaries half in sycee

COMPROMISE CURRENCY.
Novel Proposition to Overcome All
Financial Contentious


Chicago, Feb. IA novel sugges-
ton as to the possibility of obtaining
a form of compromise between the ad-
herents of the gold standard and their
opponents is being advanced by Mr..
w S. Herbert, of this city. The plan
is for a circulating medium consist
ing of coin certificates. payable half in
gold and half in silver-a two dollar
certificate for eXample-to he redeemed
by one dollar in gold coin and one
dollar in silver coin. II the relative
value of One-half shall diminish, the
value of the other, according TO Mr..
Herbert, would relatively increase. and
the value of the certificates payable in
both metals jointly would be substan-
tally effected. the high fulcrum of the
scales being not disturbed by the rails
ing of one arm and the lowering of
the other.

Pocatello. Ida, Feb. 1.-THE time for

the political managers are confronted by
a curious situation. No candidates for

due to the fact that the master of the

to handle her for the round trip so
that they could obtain winter supplies

their case. admitted that the company
was responsible; that he would furnish
them shelter and food until such time
as the river should become passable
and they could reach Fort Yukon.
The whole matter has been much ag-
gravated by the drunkenness and in
efficiency of the master mariner of the

Great injury will result to the com

A VICTIM OF ENEMIES
SUPREME COURT Is CONVINCED OF
MRS. IMOGENE HyATTs INNOCENCE.
Verdict of Lower Court Giving Her
$4,000 Sustained-News of the
County Courts.

Mrs. Imogene Hyatt, who recovered judg-
ment for $500 some time ago in the county
courts for being decoyed while in this city
into an immoral house, which was raided
while she was in it, proved to the salts
faction of the Supreme Court yesterday that
she was the victim of enemies and the
Judgment of the lower court was affirmed.
The case was one in which Mrs. Hyatt
who was an important witness against
Albert Tucker in a lawsuit in Mississippi
accepted position as housekeeper in
motel in Kentucky which man named
wilson claimed to own, and while on her
way to her new position in company with
her supposed employer was decoyed by him
INTO the house under the pretense that it
was private boarding house." According
to her testimony the move was made in
order that by being arrested here her testi-
mony before the Mississippi court would be
discredited. Her arrest was accomplished
by Brice III. Jeffries, Lawrence p. Grady
and William III. Eiler, who were charged
In the complaint with conspiracy. The case
for Mrs. Hyatt was chiefly made out from
the testimony of Eiler. who corroborated
the conspiracy story. The defendants al
legged that Eiler was insane, but the court,
after hearing the testimony, thought diff
ferently, and affirmed the Judgment

New Organization.

Within few days the articles of incor-
poration for the Miners National Benevo-
lent Association will be filed with the Sec
rotary of state. The association is a new
one, organized among the miners of Fon-
tanet, Ind, May Is, 1885, for the purpose of
protecting themselves in cases where the
United Mine Workers are not able to do
so. In many cases it has been found that
the benefits received from the parent or
ganization during a strike were irregular in
intervals and insufficient in amount, and
few progressive miners decided to secure
additional protection by new organization
which Will, however, in no sense conflict
with the United Mine Workers organiza-
tion. All kinds of casualties and misfor-
tunes are provided for in its constitution.
The new organization has grown during it's
existence so that 1t now extends beyond

such proportions that it has been decided TO
incorporate it,. The incorpoTators are:
