STEPS LOOKING TO AN INTERNA-
TIONAL AGREEMENT AT PRES
Emf IN ABEYANCE.
W0LCOTT TELLS HIS STORY.
FIRST OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE
WORK OF THE MONETARY
PILGRIMS.
COLORADO SENATOR ALL THROUGH
Formally Announces His Intention
to Retire From the BimetaIIio
Corninission-Report in Detail.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE first
official statement of the work of the
monetary commission, appointed by
President Mckinley to negotiate with
the governments of Europe on the sub
Ject of international bimetallism, was
made today in the senate by Mr.. VOL
colt.
Mr.. Wolcott introduced his subject
oy saying that he was glad to make a
statement respecting certain phases of
the work of the recent bimetallic com
mission, but that in doing SO he spoke
unofilcially, mot committing his asso-
ciateS in the slightest degree, either to
his opinions or deductions"
Later in the session. he said. I'VE
arc certain to have ample discussion
on the subject of silver, and it will
probably be acrid and bitter enough"
In his remarks today, he continued,
he must avoid, as far as possible any
thing that might give rise to contro-
yersy. Taking up the subject Of his
remarks, he said that, when congress
met year ago, soon after the national
election, there was a universal express
sion by the Republican membership in
the senate that the pledges of the
party in its st. Louis platform. to pro-
mote international bimetallism by
every means in its power, was an I'M
dertaking to be faithfully carried out,
without evasion or delay.
He then gave an account of the ap-
pOintment Of the commission, saying
that all three Of its members were BIZ
Eletallists.
Our views WERE" he said, known
to the president before our appoint
mcnt. There was no one of us who
did not and does not believe that the
financial question overshadoWs all 9TH
ers, and that continued adhesion to
the single gold standard means only
disaster to our agricultural and COM
nercial interests"
The commission had, he says, In its
sixmonths' stay abroad, visited only
London and Paris, and he added that
whatever measure Of success or failure
had been meted out to the commits
sion, at had been hampered by no
lack of authority, or sanction or ad
ministrative support" The language
Of the law had been the commissions
guide, and there were never at any
time" he said, instructions given us
that sought in the slightest degree to
change or hamper or limit the full
powers conferred upon us by law.
I'VE have BEEN" he continued, "of
one mind, and in entire agreement,
during all Of our negotiations, and our
efforts have been lawfully furthered by
our representatives. abroad, who were
fortified by strenuous instructions. In
England especially the able, intelligent
and cordial cooperation of our am
bassador was of great advantage in our

III h LETTER CRASH.
Brought About by L. u. Letter Refusing
TO Advance Money.

Chicago, June 13.--It is estimated
that during the day from eight million
to ten million bushels of Letter wheat,
optional and visible, was sold to the
account of the Young Napoleon" This
is supposed to have consisted chiefly of
options in September, July and June
wheat stored in Minneapolis, st. Paul,
Duluth and Chicago. 1t was said that
the bankers of the northwest who have
been carrying the northwestern bull
clique refused to carry their burden
any longer, and that calls had been
made by northwestern dealers, partic-
ularly the Minneapolis interests, for
margins down to ninety cents. These,
it is said, were followed by calls upon
Letter here to margin his wheat hold
ings down to eighty cents. Mr.. Letter
had about four million bushels of cash
wheat on hand, much of which he is
said to have disposed of at a loss.
Later it was reported that l.. u. Lei
ter when asked by his son for more
money had refused to be drawn further
into the wheat deal and thus compelled
the latter to let go a large line of his
holdings in order to satisfy his ware
house creditors and marginal demands
Representatives Of the northwestern
interests appear to have precipitated
the crisis by coming to Chicago Satur-
day and Tearing that L. q. Letter would
not advance any more money on his
sons account. Mr.. Letters friends in
sist that he has not made an assign
ment, but it was admitted tonight that
the Letter interests had been trusteed.
Letter ran fourteen months, during
which time the price Of wheat was
down to 6434 in June, 1897, and up to 1856
in May, 1898. 1t involved at one time
an interest of more than 5000, 900 bush
els of wheat.

LIEUT.. KELLOGG WRITES HOME
Waterbury Man ON Cruiser Baltimore
During Manila Fight.

Waterbury, Conn. June 13.-Genera1
Stephen w. Kellogg has received two
letters from his son, Lieutenant Fran
els w. Kellogg of the cruiser Baltimore,
the second letter received tonight be-
ing dated May 8. In the last letter
Lieutenant Kellogg describes two
days trip of the Baltimore and Petrol,
which was devoted to destroying forti-
fications. Everywhere they went the
letter states, the enemy displayed the
white flag and there was no trouble
AT Corregidor a quantity of Mauser
rifles were seized and the governor and
his family of five taken aboard the
Baltimore. During the night the smell
of smoke from the lower cabin caused
the officer of the deck to rush down
when he discovered one of the COVER
nor's daughters had tied her stocking
to the electric light, as she did not
know how to turn it off, and the heat
from the lamp caused the stocking to
smolder. The next day the governor
and his family were put ashore.

SPANISH CADIZ FLEET.
As Much q Mystery Was That of
Cervera.

Cervera.
Washington, June 13.-The Spanish
Cadiz fleet is almost as much mys-
terry to the naval authorities here as
was Admiral Cervera's flying squadron
during the two weeks preceding it's bot
Ting up at Santiago. To-day a report
came that the squadron was unfit for
sea. That would have been credited
except that the department has had
information to the effect that the
squadron was already at sea and was
about to depart. About a week ago
last Saturday it had information that
the Cadiz fleet had sailed, having in
mind these conflicting reports the war
board scarcely knows where to give
credence, though it would seem to be
an extraordinary circumstance that the
least doubt could exist as to the pres
ence in or absence from the harbor of
a populous city such as Cadiz Of a
SQUADRON of warships. However, the
weight of opinion seems to incline to
the presence Of the fleet at Cadiz, owing
to the bad condition of the ships Al
though acting upon this belief the war
board is taking no unnecessary chances
of a surprise, and by means of SCOUTS,
has provided for securing timely warn
ing of the approach of any hostile ship
to the seat of war.

IN TIL E SENATE.
Discussion ON M. Il. Church South Ap-
preparation Matter.

Washington, June 13.-For nearly
two hours to-day the senate had under
discussion the resolution of Mr.. Lodge
directing the claims committee to make
an inquiry as to the disposition Of the
money appropriated by congress to pay
the claim Of the book concern Of the
Methodist Episcopal church south. A
heated colloquy between Mr.. Chandler
and Mr.. Pasco was the feature of the
discussion. Mr. Chandler said that Mr..
Paseo was unwittingIy and unwillingly
the agent through which a deception
had been practtced upon the senate.
Mr. Pasco demanded the withdrawal Of
the statement, but Mr.. Chandler insists
ed that it was correct and refused to
withdraw it, although he disclained
any intention to reflect upon Mr.. Pas
cos honor. The resolution probably
will be called up again tomorrow.

INSUBORDINATION Ar CAMP HAVEN
Private Hitchcock Sent to the Guard
House-The Naval Militia.

Camp Haven, United States Military
Post, Mantle, June 13.-The guard
house at the gate confines several
members of Battery G. who tired of
and failed to return at roll call. Some
of the men are guilty of the offence for
the second time. Eight of them were
ordered out under heavy marching or
ders and from 2:30 this afternoon until
retreat at 6:25 they were obliged to
march about the camp. Private Hitch
cock refused utterly to obey and threw
down his gun. His offence is a serious
one and he was at once remanded to
the guard house and later will be
court-martialled. 1t is stated that Pri-
vate Hitchcock's frequent visits to the
canteen are in measure responsible
for his INSTRUMENTATION. On account
of the incident the privileges of the
canteen will be restricted and no beer
will now be supplied the men, without
an order from the officers.
The examination of the enlisted men
of the naval reserves is nearly COM
pleted and the mastering in will occur
tomorrow or Wednesday. The men
will then proceed to Boston and go
aboard the receiving ship Wabash.
Transportation has already been ar
ranged for and four coaches and one
baggage car will be utilized. Paymas-
ter Yeoman Punderson on the battalion
staff was rejected on account of de-
fective eyesight. There yet remains a
few commissioned officers to be exam
ioed

LYNCHED IN PUBIC SQUARE,
Young White Man who Shot His EN-
plOyer's Daughter.

Great Bend, Kan, June 13.--In the
public square fronting on the principal
business street of this city murderer
was lynched this evening by mob Of
500 persons. 1t is estimated that at
least 1000 witnessed the tragedy. The
victim was John Becker, a young white
man, who, on April 8, killed Myrtle
TIuffmeister, the sixteen-year- old
daughter of William Huffmeister, a
farmer living midway between Great
Bend and Ellinwood. Beck was en-
ployed by the farmer and professed
passionate love for the daughter. The
tragedy followed the girls refusal to
accept his advances. When the girl
came to the stable in the evening
Becker shot her to death, sending eight
bullets into her body, after which he
set fire to the farmers stable and es-
capped. On April 13 a posse captured
the murderer near ST. John, Stafford
county, and he was kept for time at
Hutchinson.

SAN FR1NCISCO'S LUCKY ESCAPE.
Nasty Weather Might Have Made Her
Grounding Very Serious.

Highland Light, Mass, June 19.-The
flagship San Francisco, with Comman-
der Howell on board, while attempting
to round Cape Cod in a heavy fog went
ashore near High Head life-saving sta
tion at Z o'clock this morning, but by
the hard work of the crew, who threw
over a large quantity of coal and bal
last, and the assistance of four tugs
from Boston, she was floated at six
o'clock tonight apparently uninjured.
The cruiser had been out all night and
was making her way back into Prov
incetown. The fog was very thick and
light easterly wind was blowing. BY
some means her navigating officer
missed the big fog signal on Highland
light, only few miles away, and
thinking the ship well to the northward
swung her head round to the westward.
The ship struck head-on going at a
speed of about eight knots. The tide
had ebbed about an hour, and after an
abortive attempt to back off Captain
Leary gave up hope of floating the big
cruiser at that time and sounded his
whistle for help.
The life-saving crew from High Head
Immediately put off in the surfboat and
finding the warship resting easily went
back and wired Commander Howison
of the Boston navy yard for assistance.
While waiting for the tugs the crew
went to work on the coal and the sup
ply Of sand ballast which had been talk
en- aboard several weeks ago at Prov
incetown. Every man worked hard un-
til several hundred tons had been
thrown overheard. The weather, while
continuing thick, did not become bois-
te"ous, so that there was every hope
that good big pull at high tide at
night would release the Zip from her
perilous position. During the after
noon the tugs Elsie, Mercury, Juno and
Fred B. Dalze1l arrived from Boston,
and about an hour before high water
four large hawsers were run out to the
tugs. After few minutes pulling a
perceptible tremor shook the ship and
a minute later she slipped back into
| deep water and f1oated on even keel.
The entire crew assembled on the deck
and cheered wildly. A hurrid examsaa-
tion did not disclose any injuries to the
Ship and 1t is probable that she will
not have to be drydocked. The San
| Francisco at once started for Province
town. The escape of the warship was
most fortunate and was due to favor
able weather and the untiring exertions
| of her crew.

RYAN DEFEATS VEST.
West Took a Lot of Hammering and
Was OutpOinted

New York, June 13.-Tommy Ryan Of
Syracuse met and easily defeated Tom
my West of this city tonight in the
fourteenth round Of a. twenty-round
contest for the welter-weight cham
pionship of the world. Ryan outfought
his man at every point and would have
ended the contest much more quickly
had he wanted to. West took an awful
lot of hammering. In the eighth round
the New Yorker sent Ryan down twice
in quick succession on his back but
Immediately afterwards West was put
through the ropes by a stiff punch.
Ryans hackers laid odds ON their
mans chances, and took all the New
York money in sight. The referee,
Charley White, let the bout go as far
as humanity would permit and when
at last he sent the men to their cor
ners and awarded the honors to Ryan
there was general satisfaction among
the spectators.
