CURRENCY CONDITION OF SOUTH.
Hon. John w. Fries and Hon. Joseph
Bryan Speak on 1t.

bryan SPEAK On IL.
Boston, Jan. 21-The Massachusetts
Reform club listened to two interesting
speeches tonight on 1.-The Currency
Condition of the South" by Hon. John
w. Fries of North Carolina and Hon.
Joseph Bryan of Virginia. Mr. Fries.
who was a member of the monetary
commission, received a hearty welcome.
He said that in the last election the re-
publican or sound money vote of North
Carolina was thrown in the middle and
west parts of the state, where are To-
Gated the cotton industries, now consid-
cred to be the greatest competitors of
Massachusetts. The silver men in the
south are absolutely sure of their posi-
ton and feel sure that that money, if
once brought into existence, would be a
cure for all their nlany ills Speaking
of the work of the monetary commits
sion, Mr.. Fries said that the gold stand
ard was found established not only in
this country, but every other important
country in the world.
Mr. Bryan outlined the situation in
the south with reference to currency
reform and the needs of the south in
connection with the plan of the none
tary commission. He took Virginia as
a criterion and compared her condition
at the outbreak of the war with that
which obtained after the surrender at
Appomattox with the idea of showing
why the conservatism in financial mat
ters, for which the southern states were
respected in the earlier days, had been
thrown aside.

to join with her in forming an inter-
collegiate rowing association, Francis
S. Bangs said to-day: Columbia has
received a proposition looking to the
formation Of an intercollegiate rowing

voted it's principal attention in execu-
tive session to-day to the nomination
of Attorney General McKenna to be a
justice of the supreme court Of the
United States, When the doors were
closed the Hawaiian treaty was laid
aside in order to afford opportunity to
consider the McKenna nomination and
other nominations. An effort was made
to secure the confirmation OF the nomi-
nation of General Longstreet to be COM
missioner of railroads. but Senator Vest
made objection to immediate action,
and the nomination went over. Mr..
Vest did not state his objection, but
mentioned the fact that they were not
personal

McKenna was taken up in accordance
with the agreement reached last week.
Senator Allen Immediately took the
floor in continuance of his attack upon
the attorney general. He contended
that Mr. McKenna was not competent
to discharge the duties OF justice of the
supreme bench. He read the charges
filed with the committee on judiciary.
The document comprised a large num-
ber of letters and the protest Of lawyers
and judges of the Pacific coast charing
that McKenna was untitled for the Of
flee on the ground of a want of legal
attainments. He was interrupted by
Senator Perkins of California, who
read a published defense of Judge Nc
Kenna, giving statistics to show that
he had not as judge of the California
federal court been more frequently re-
versed by superior tribunals than had
other judges of the same rank. Mr..
Allen spoke for three hours He was
convinced of Mr.. McKenna's unfitness
for the office, he said. He did not insist
upon roll call when the vote was
taken, and the vote was overwhelming
ly favorable to confirmation.
An agreement was reached before the
senate went into executive session for
a final vote on the Teller resolution
next Thursday, before adjournment.
The resolution provides that the bonds
of the United States may be paid in
silver dollars. Mr.. Vest first announc-
ed that an agreement had been made
to take the final vote on Wednesday,
but readily agreed to a postponement
of the vote until Thursday. Mr.. Allen
of Iowa made the significant statement
that an amendment to the resolution
that would cause some debate would be
offered late in the discussion, but gave
no intimation of the nature, scope or
intent of the amendment. During the
greater part Of the afternoon the sem
ate was in executive session.

THE WAGE EARNERS, FIGHT.
Undercurrent of Unrest Among Strikers
Lowell Workers Vote Assistance.


Boston, Jan. 2-While on the sur
face the strike situation in the cotton
industries in a number of the manufac-
turing centers shows little change to-
night, there is apparently an undercur-
rent of unrest which denotes that the
strain on the employees side at least is
beginning to be surely felt. The joint
committee on behalf of the strikers at
New Bedford issued an appeal tonight
for assistance and at Biddeford ar
rangements are being made for the is
suance for support to the non-union
help out of work. The New Bedford
committee in its apepal points Out the
fact that they have assisted the two
strikes. The strike at Fall River ap-
pears to be advancing toward critical
stage and the miner strikes which have
occurred there lead to the belief that
the labor leaders may not be able to
hold back the operatives in that city
and that a general strike may occur at
any time.
