Hatching Plans of Mone-

THE REPORT
The Sole Object of the Convention Is
the Maintenance of the
Gold Standard
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 25.-The
monetary conference which opened in
this city today is the result of a move
ment started by the Indianapolis mon
etary convention a little more than a
year ago. The commercial body took
upon itself the Inauguration of the
movement, whose primary purpose was
monetary reform. Today's convention,
which is much larger than the first. was
called for the purpose of submitting
the plan of the committee heretofore
appointed and securing its adoption The
was welcomed to the state
by Governor Mount.
Governor Shaw Of Iowa presided, and
c. Stuart Patterson submitted the re-
port of the committee.
GOVERNOR SHAW'S ADDRESS
Governor Shaw in his opening address
said, in part:
Members of This Convention, Friends
of Sound Money, Ladies and Gentlemen:

been urged by the operators in order
that they might dispose of their surplus
stock. The trouble was we were enof-
mously over-producing in this country,
and in the face of that fact the Republic
an party was restricting and narrowing
our markets.
The political debate continued for an
hour, the Republicans maintaining and
the Democrats denying the existence OF
prosperity.
Smith, Democrat, Of Arizona, made an
attack on the present system of educat-
ing the Indians. He declared that the
Carlisle and Hampton schools were
mistake, that an Indian could not be
civilized by teaching him to read and
write and sing psalm. The Indian, he
said must receive an industrial educa-
ton, but it must be given him in the Vi
cinity of his home, not in the east. In
this bill, he said, s., 100000 was wasted.
Walker Republican, of Massachu-
setts. agreed with Smith, that the pres
ent policy was unsatisfactory, illogical
and impracticable. He moved to strike
out the appropriation for the Carlisle
school. Without voting on the amend
ment the committee rose and at $40 p.
m. the house adjourned.

A CORRECTION
MI. Levy Thinks His Statements Were
Exaggeraed

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-In these dis
patches on the night of Jan. 18th a
statement was made that more than
thirty unfaithful employees of the Adams
Express company in this city have been
discovered in recent peculations,
amounting to a sum between $4,000 and
$4,000. This allegation grew out of
conversation between a reporter and At
torney Abraham Levy, who gave as his
best impression at that time the num-
hers and amounts above stated, being
prompted by the exact facts. Mr.. Levy,
in fairness to the interests involved and
to himself, desires the statement to be
made that there were not at that time
mentioned peculations in the number
indicated nor to the extent stated. The
information sent on the date named in
dicated that peculations were conducted
Systematically among employees of the
express company, and this statement,
Mr.. Levy feels it is equally fs6g to him
self to say, was not warranted by utter
ances of his at the time.

HORSE HUNTING
Stock in Demand for Use in Alaska as
Pack Animals

STOCKTON, Cal, Jan. 25.-Noah Le-
gault, recently from Dawson City, is
here to purchase horses, which he will
take back with him in the spring to be
used as pack animals.
In conversation with an Associated
Press representative Legault said that
he had been looking for stock up through
Oregon, but that horses in that part of
the country were very badly run down
and he was compelled to come here for
animals which could stand the rigors OF
the Alaskan climate and the hard usage
to which they would probably be put
carrying goods over the passes.
This will be good news to stockmen
as it will give horse raisers in this part of
the state an opportunity to supply the
needs of the new gold country in the
matter of horseflesh.
In speaking of the project of going
over the Yukon river in ice boats, he
said it would be almost an impossibiity,
as the ice in the river is very badly
jammed, in places the ice being buckled
up six feet high

IN THE HOUSE
Political Debate Concerning the Re
turn of Prosperity

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Under the
parliamentary fiction of discussing the
Indian appropriation bill, the house de-
voted almost the entire day to political
debate in which the main question was
whether prosperity had come to the
country as a result of the advent of the
present administration.
As speeches were limited to five min
utes many members participated and
partisan spirit kept the interest keyed
up to high pitch. The acrimony which
usually characterizes such debates was
almost entirely absent, and although
good natured, some hard knocks were
given and received. Smith, the delegate
from Arizona, made an attack on the
system of educating the Indians. and
Walker moved to strike out the appro-
priation for the Carlisle school.
A bill was passed granting American
register to the foreign-built steamer
Navajo
The house then went into committee
of the whole and resumed consideration
of the Indian appropriation bill.
Richardson, Democrat, of Tennessee,
adGuced some figures and financial au-
thorites to prove that prosperity had
not yet appeared.
IF prosperity has not returned. 4"
asked Stone, Republican, of Pennsylva-
mia, how does it happen that in all the
industrial regions men are employed and
that they are not supported by charity,
as they We're under the Cleveland ad e
ministration?'
The trouble with the gentleman" re-
piled Richardson, is that his premises
are all wrong. Labor is not employed in
all the industrial regions In New Eng
land 125,000 workers are now on strike. -
Grosvenor, Stone, Dingley and other
Republicans rose to reply, and in the
confusion Richardson called out that he
had no desire to interfere with Stones
gubernatorial boom.
II am glad to have the endorsement Of
that side" replied Stone, smiling.
Grosvenor cited the Wool-raising in
dustry as an example of what the Ding
ley law had done. Dockery, Democrat,
of Missouri, in discussing the cotton mill
strike, contended that the strike had

FIELD TRIALS
Pretty Work Done, the Best by the
Pointers

BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 25.-The derby
event in the Pacific coast field trials was

setter bitch, Lady Rods Chaff, came
third.
The winner is a handsome liver and
white dog of medium size. He was sired
by Glenbeigh Howard Vernon's famous
pointer and is out of Saddlebags, a high
class bitch, owned by Alex Colvin. The
blood of Glenbeigh is also represented in
Cuba of Kenwood, he being by Glen
