in view OF his (Mr Teller's) heretofore
expressed desre 10 bring about internal
tional bimetallism. He hoped, therefore,
that he would do nothing 10 paralyze the
eHorts now making for an international
agreement upon the silver question.

tional bimetallism," said Mr.. Teller, land

about as any man in this chamber, if
except the senator who sits in front Of
me (Nir. Allison). When he returned from
Europe, however without success, I felt
that 1t was practically useless to proceed
further in that direction"
Incidentally, Mr. Teller drifted into a
discussion of The foreign relations of the
United States. He maintained that the
money power held the country so firmly
within its grasp that the government was
unable to take such action upon foreign
questions as the people desired should be
taken. He hoped that the time would
soon come when we would say to a fifth
rate power like Spain: Take your hands
off that bounuful island-an island which
you have nearly depopu.a ted"-and say
1t, too, without fear of opposition of the
money 0ower.
Il do not believe said Senator Teller.

our hands out 10 support Cuba. Ii would

able and just act The French came to
us at a time when we were struggling as
are the Cubans, and it is doubtful whether
we could have achieved our independence
without their aid"
Reverting to the financial question, Mr..
Teller said: Il attack the Republican
party because it is the party of the gold
standard. l hope TO see it go down in 1850
and l pledge you that | will do everything
in my power to drag it down. It's policy
is not such as is demanded by free people.
| have no quarrel with the President of
the United States, but he stands for the
gold policy, a policy which, in my iudg-
ment, would impoverish and wreck our
people"
Mr. Butler of North Carolina presented
joint resolution proposing an amendment
to the constitution providing fer the cleo
ton of the federal judiciary by the people.
The resolution went 10 the table to permit
Mr.. Butler to make d speech on it.

RAIL RATES TO MEXICO,
Report of the ArbitratOrs on Settle
ment of the Differences.

Report of the ArbitratOrs on Settle
ment of the Differences.
st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. THE following is
the report of the arbitrator selected to ar
bitrate the Mexican rate question:
1.-The through rates having been estab-
lished from the United States territories
described in the resolution adopted at a
meeting between the American and Mexi-
can lines held in Chicago the differences in
those rates made by additions and deduc-
tions, as the case may require, shall be
such as to apply to all rail in excess of the
rail and water rates in the following
amounts in cents per 100 pounds United
States currency, on classes and commodi-
ties as designated, namely, 10, II, 9, 6, 8, s,
5, 4. 4, t. per 100 pounds.
COMMODITIES shall take the differential
applied on the classes to which such COM
modites belong, based on the western
classification, with the exceptions as APP
plicable to the Mexican traffic involved, ex-
cepting that as to grain and grain prod
ucts taking flour rates or lower, the rates
via ali rail and via rail and water shall be
equal.
"In the above differential adjustment
the rail and water routes to be at liberty
to issue insured bills of lading.
1.-The conclusion outlined above is the
result of careful consideration of the
circumstances and conditions existing as
developed by the written and oral argu-
ments and statements submitted by the
interested parties, supplemented by such
personal inquiry and investigation as has
been found practicable and expedient for
the arbitraters to make.
1T is believed that the exercise of like
diligence by the respective interests in
volved in the direction of solicitation and
efforts to facilitate the movement of traf-
fic ordered will, under This decision pro-
duce results favorable to the various trans
portation lines. All of which is respect
fully submitted.

STOCK MARKET STRONGER.
Weakness of the Early Part of the
Week Disappears.

Week Disappears.
New York. Jan. 7.-Bradstreets financial
review will say tomorrow: Although dull
and somewhat reactionary conditions ruled
al the beginning of the weak, the last
three days have brought with them a dis
play of speculative activity and strength
ia the market. Early in the week there was
some hesitancy, apparently due to disap-
pointment on the part of traders, who had
bought stock in the belief that there would
be a pronounced January rise, because the
public did not come INFO the market at the
CONNIE ncement of the new business year.
There was some liquidation of long
stock by small holders, Tuesday and
Wednesday, who put out fresh lines hop
Ing that the decline would extend further.
Unsettling factors in speculation have con-
tributed 40 this result and the brokers for
a time were sellers of the market.
'"These unsettling factors were rumors
of possible complications among the Eu-
ropean powers over China, while some of
the prominent railroad men declared that
through railroad rates were Improbable,
and that the condition of through traffic
as carried on by the railroads rendered it
useless to look for improvement unless
legislation is secured looking to the per-
mission of railroad pooling"

Guided in the minority report sub
mitted by Edward Hanlon, of Balti-
more. The changes were adopted
unanimously Most of them We're ver-
bal and of minor nature. The more
important were made to conform to the
new rule relative to the suppression
of rowdyism on the field. The most
important change was the new rules
substituted for rule 81, which reads as
follows:
The umpire shall perform all duties
6eyolving upon single umpire eX-
cept giving decisions son first, second
and third bases and deciding points of
play in running such bases, which shall
deyolve upon the assistant umpire eX-
cept as regards third base, when any
other base is occupied by base run
ner, in which event the umpire shall
decide all points of play arising at
third base. 1t shall be the duty of the
umpires to assist or advise each other
in rendering any decision when asked
by the other umpire
To rule 81. which relates to the sus-
pension of a player, was added a pro-
vision that the term of suspension shall
not exceed three days. including the
date of removal.
Section was added to rule 81 as fol-
lows:
THE umpire shall Immediately at
ter the suspension of a player, give
the president of the league full state
ment of the facts as to the cause for
the suspension. In fragrant cases he
shall report to the president by tele-
graph.
After the playing rules had been
adopted the league adopted the sched-
ule as prepared by President Young.
