carry out that pledge. Meantime, the
existing gold standard would be main
talncd. Until the international agree
ment was secured the purpose of the
administration was to continue the
Kind of blmetallism we have now
whereby 500.0o0,000 silver dollars Were
maintained at parity with gold. Any
proposition which looks to the aban-
donment of this position, which was
likely to create n disparity between the
coins OF the country, was In violation
of the public faith. and In derogation
OF the rights of the public creditor.
In conclusion. Mr. Burrows said that
the passage of this resolution FORUM
ately would accomplish nothing. 1t
might tend to alarm the business In
terests of the country and retard to
some extent the advances of prosperity,
but by the statements of the Presi-
dent of the United states last night,
the country WINS assured that the gov
ernment's obligations would be dis
charged in the best money of the
world.
Mr. White of California spoke IN
support of the resolution and analysed
at some length the position of the Re
publican party upon free coinage of
silver. He spoke of the lack OF def
niteness of the Presidents message on
the larger questions. The message re.
fired to Secretary Cages plan, and
invited inspection There was no OPP
position expressed to that plan and
doubtless, said Mr.. White, If the Presi-
dent did not approve the Gage plan he
would have said so. The senator then
referred ironically to the New York
banquet last night at which the Presi-
dent spoke. He spoke of the men who
had gathered Mt the feast to consider
means of improving the conditions of
the poor workingman and the farmer.
II had been referred to as Belshaz-
zars feast. Mr.. White read in sar-
castle tones the press reparts of en-
thusiasm at reference to the gold
standard and the cold chill' which
overspread the banqueters nj the men
ton of International bimetallism.
Mr.. Wolcott followed in support of
the Teller resolution. He thought any
senator, whatever his financial views.

it invilved nothing except the carrying
into effect the governments plan OF

was entirely IRRELEVANT He imagined,
however, he said, what sort OF treat
ment the pensioners would receive from

He thought that denunciation and
abuse heaped upon those who support
ed the resolution was unwarranted.
Mr.. Wolcott felt that the resolution
ought to be passed without change or
amendment, although, he said. several
of the amendments. particularly that of
Mr.. Nelson. We're wise and Just, but
this resolution (Teller's) meant Just

THE 15sTH's DEATH ROLL.
Col. Smith Explains How Most of Fa-
tuIities Resulted.

-Four men died in the One-hundred-and-
fifty-eighth while we were at Chicka-
mauga," said Col. II. B. Smith to some
friends yesterday. "One of these men
gorged himself with green apples and they
could not be elected from his stomach. An
other man came home to see his mother
who had typhoid fever. He took care of her
several days, drank water from the same
glass and came back with the fever and
died. Two men have died since we returned
One man was considered out of danger, but
the nurse told him that he must not get
out of bed upon the floor. He not only got
up, but went into the next tent, suffered
a relapse and died.
1.-The fever said Colonel Smith, spread
with surprising rapidity after it had got
into some regiments. We had about twenty
men on the sick list. One day two regi-
ments, in which there were two or three
hundred cases of sickness, including many
typhoid cases, were camped upon our parade
ground. Our men went over to see Them
which probably had something to do with
it, and weeks contact with those COM
mands increased our sick list to one hum
dred. Our men were infected by the typhoid
in these regiments. There was no remedy
for it,

Washington, Aug. Sit cannot be
said that Secretary Alger is indiffer-
ent to the many sensational stories
shat are printed as to the conditions
prevailing in the great military camps,
for his interest lies in the welfare of
the individual troops; but he said today
that with full knowledge of the lack
of foundation for most of these, he
deprecates such publications, not be-
cause of fear that the American people
would be mistaken in their under
standing of the actual facts, but rather
from an apprehension of the evil eff
feet such publications would produce
abroad There the people, with their
full military training, who know just
what hardShipS must be encountered
by the troops in campaign, especial
ly in military camps and maneuvers,
would regard with amused surprise
the innumerabie complaints that are
pouring forth upon the government
here upon pretexts that would be dis
regarded entirely in Europe, and they
could scarcely fail to gain the impress
sion that the American people are
lacking in soldierly qualities.
