LONG ON THE TELLER FIGHT.
Secretary Thinks 1t VIII Give the
Republicans victory Next Fall.

New York, Feb. Ia dispatch TO the
Tribune from Washington says: '"rhe
satisfaction OF the President and his al
visers over the action Of Congress on the
Teller resolution is Enthusiastically reAectec
in the words of Secretary Long, after the
cabinet meeting to-day 10 the correspond

The Lord, for their own folly, had deiv.

they kept Still the usual reaction which
takes place after Presidential election

might have given them the next House of
representatives. But they had introduced
and passed by then majority in the SEN
ate resolution practically favoring a de-
preciated currency and the free coinage
Of silver
BY this promise of a H-cent dollar and
OF the practical discredit of the financial
organizations of the United States, they
commit themselves to a policy which will
reduce the value of every laboring mans
wages, OF every veterans pension and of
every penny saved and laid up in our saw

in the Senate by Democratic vote. 1t
was carried there by the votes of Just
those states which went for Bryan and
the Democracy in the last presidential
election
yesterday In the House, In which there
Is Republican majority of fifty. repre-
senting the states which they carried in
that election, it was overwhelmingly de-
teated by a practically solid Republican
vote. The result is that we shall go to

sound currency and a deprecated ore;
between maintaining and impairing the
credit of the United States; between CIV

and product or give them a dollar worth

ION such an issue we shall not only raj
ly again the whole Republican force, but
add to them as we did in 1886 all sound
money Democrats (and their number Is le-
gion), whose interests and whose pri1-
cipies are for a sound currency. This will
enable us to overcome the ordinary reac-
ton which l have above referred to. 1t
will enable us also to overcome the cry
that is always raised against a new pro-
tectiVe tariff when it first goes into OPP

tariff the revenues are increasing so

that our industries are reviving and that
every one of them which has been pro-
tected by the new tariff Is enlarging its
output and paving the way to an increase
of wages-the only exception being that
of the cotton industry, in nearly all the
schedules relating to which no change
was made. Yet, even with this better
prospect as to our Increased revenues and
improving industries the chance for Re

A POSTWAR ON sTILTs.
Getting About Made Easier in the
'Landes" of France.

From the London Graphic.
Between Bordeaux and Bayonne lies that
stretch of open country known as the
'Landes." great part of this tract,
which was formerly waste land has been
now partially reclaimed and planted with
pine trees, which are cultivated for the
sake of the resin that is extracted from
them. The rest of it, however remains
wild and covered with gorse and broom
The villages and groups of dwellings in
the 'Landes' are very scattered, and in
order to traverse the wide extent of the
plains with ease, the inhabitants use stills
which are tied to their legs. Mounted on
these the shepherds watch their fiocks in
the brushwood, and can cross pools,
marshes and peat without difficulty. They
carry with them a long pole, which serves
as a support when resting. The pos5men,
too, employ this means of getting about
In winter time when the "Landes" are
covered with snow, getting about on stills
is, of course, difficult, and in order TO OBJ
viate the inconvenience and to enable him
to get over the ground without loss of
time, the postman has lately fitted TO his
stills d kind of thin wooden skate, which
enables him to walk on the top of the
snow without sinking in. The postman is
clad in a white cloak called a teapot"
lined with sheepsl1in and provided with a
hood. His legs are also covered with
sheepskin. In the dunes the postal service
is carried on by the shepherds on horse
back, for it would be impossible to traverse
the sandy tracts on stills.

CLAIMS HE HAS MRS. LUETGERr.
Man Whom Chicago Police Believe
Insane Calls for the Reward.

Chicago. Feb. IA man giving the
name OF Jacob Luthardt called at the Cen
trail Police station this afternoon, and an
uounced himself as entirely prepared to
accept the $4,000 reward which Police In
spector Michael Schaak had offered for
the production of Mrs. Louisa Luetgert
alive.
The man said he had seen Mrs. Luet-
CERT within forty-eight hours. and could
produce her within the same space of
time. He told a straightforward story,
and although subjected to a close exansl-
nation insisted upon the authenticity OF
his story.
He was shown 300 pictures, and from
them selected that of Mrs. Luetgert with
out trouble. He said he could produce the
woman at any time, and would do so i'm
mediately if he was assured of the paw
ment of the $4,000.
He said Mrs. Luetgert was within d
short distance of Chicago with some
friends Of hers. According to Luthardt' >
story she is insane, but has lucid inter-
walls. He was given a letter to Inspector
Schaak, and that official not only agreed
to make good the $4,000 he had originally
offered, but promised to give Luthardt
$500 additional for every day that was
saved in the trial by the production of
Mrs. Luetgert.
THE trial will last about one week
longer and will cost the state about SO COO
more" said the Inspector. you bring the
woman into court and I will personally
pay you $4,000. l will also guarantee that
you get a total sum of So, 600 as I know
others who will put up a little besides
my SO, 600. Now bring her in
Luthardt sat still a moment, and then.
with the remark, ''Well, 1 must be GO
ing" he left the station.
Chief of Police Kipieys private score
tary, James Markham, says the man is
insane. He says he has called at the
chiefs office several times for an inter-
view with the chief. Each time he refused
to state his business, and said he had
very important business to transact with
the chief.

ANSON OFF THE DIAMOND.
The Chicago Management Not TO Re-
new His Contract.

Chicago, Feb. 1.--President Hart of the
Chicago Base Ball Club broke the long
spell of silence which he has hitherto
maintained about the Arson case. and to-
night spoke freely about the disposition Of
the matter.
What he said merely confirmed most of
the gossip that has been printed about the
affair during the last two months-at least
so far as the clubs policy was concerned.
Mr.. Hart said that the directors of the
club had decided TO be guided in great
measure In the disposition of the case by
public opinion.
The press and public took 1t for granted
that Capt. Arson would not be manager of
the Chicago club the coming season, and
the directors desiring to cater to the pub
lie, determined not to renew his engage
ment when his contract expired. This was
the policy pursued.
