Mr.. Royal in brief address said
that the people of Virginia had been
led into the silver movement by rea-
son of the want of sufficient currency
to meet business requirements, and
that should a better banking system
be established by which the smaller
cities and towns could have banking
privileges, the people would have little
interest in silver. Other speakers ex-
pressed the same idea
a proposition was made looking to a
consolidation of the league with the In
dianapolis monetary movement, but
the sentiment of the meeting was
against it on the ground that the In
dianapolis movement had for its prime
object reform in banking legislation,
while the league more particularly adj
vocated the gold standard The con-
ference adjourned to meet in Chicago
some time in April next.

SIOUN FALLS, S. D., Feb. Mayor Sites
received a letter from a man living in the
Northwest territory, inquiring about the
! young girl recently brought from Cheyenne
River agency. The letter is dated from
Medicine Hat, y. W. T, and is written by
Ludwig Stelter. He states that in 1894 his
daughter Mathilde. aged 10 years, was lost
She wandered away from Dunmore Junction
the 18th day Of April, 1894 going south ON
the prairie towards Montana and nothing
has been heard of her since. 1t was thought
at the time that the girl had been found by
q band Of Cheyenne Indians who were known
10 have been in that vicinity at that time.
Mr.. Stelter describes his daughter as fol-
lows: My girl is middling fair, and her
name is Mathilde. she pa: got slight small
pox marks on her face, has dark blue eyes
and is from German parents. l think she
would be able 70 talk a little German. Her
age IS 1t last Christmas"
This does not answer the description OF the
girl at the Chilrden's home at ALL as she
on her face. Anna Russell the girl under
the care o. superintendent Sherrard is recaiv-
ing numerous letters from giddy young men
who imagine that they have fallen in love
with her pictures, they have been pub
Hshed in the papers. Among the number
letters from a student in the State university,
in Mimi eaPClis, and ON the S university,
in Madison. Wis. AS the girl is nothing but
child yet it is safe to say that she is
not allowed to see the letters or know OF
them, by Supt. Sherrand.

CANADIAN PACIFIC BOYCOTT.
Only Weapon of Defense Now Left
i'm the Hands of Western
ROuds.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-Unless the Can
adam Pacific alters the attitude it has
assumed toward the Western roads, in
the matter of Alaska rates, it is pos
sible that there will be a concerted
movement among all the American
roads to ignore it entirely and to re-
fuse to have any further dealings with
it in passenger traffic. 1t has steadily
refused to meet with the American
roads to discuss matters, and simply
reiterates it's determination to preserve
it's differentials on Alaska business.
The meeting Of the Western roads
after a short session today sent a mes
sage to the Canadian Pacific saying
that if it was inconvenient for a repre-
sentative of the Canadian Pacific to
come to Chicago at the present time,
they would be glad to have the Cam
adam Pacific name date on which
it's representative could meet a COM
mittee of the Western roads, either III
Montreal or New YORK.
To this a reply was received today
after the adjournment of the meeting
to the effect that it would not be con-
venient for the Canadian Pacific to
meet the committee Of the Western
roads.
After the adjournment of the meet
ing today representatives Of the West
ern roads said that they felt that they
had done all that lay in their powers
to come to an understanding with the
Canadian Pacific, but If that road
would not consent to meet and discuss
matters with them there was nothing
to do but sever all traffic relations
with it. They said that they were not
thinking of doing this in belligerent
spirit, but simply to protect themselves.
The meeting tomorrow will take up
the matter and decide what is best to
be done. AS matters now stand there
seems to be very little chance Of avoid
ing a war in Alaska rates, and if this
Is once begun there is every probability
that it will spread to the other trans
continental rates as we'll.
