interview yesterday. SAID: In my judg-
ment the next congress will pass finan-
cial measure My judgment also is that
the finance committee will take up the
financial question anew The bill agreed
upon by the Republican committee of
the house Will no doubt be laid before
US in the nature of suggestion, and we
VIII consider il, as we VIII do other
plans which represent conmenda BILE
features Perhaps in the future we Will
meet with the gentlemen of the house.
but nothing definite in that direction
has been arranged
Have you any idea along what lines
the currency legislation will be framed -
Il do not anticipate any very radical
measures. We want to maintain our
standard ard at the same time give the
country safe and yet flexible currency.
1t is said that we ought to declare for
the gold standard, but we are on the
gold standard now. The recommenda-
tons of the president relative to the is
sue of national bank currency TO the par
value of the bonds deposited with the
United States treasurer. a decrease in
the tax on national bank circulation.
and the payment of gold for greenbacks
when the latter are taken out of the
treasury, are all worthy of enactment
into law, and / should not be surprised
to see them adopted.
There may be some new suggestions,
as. for instance, some legislation re-
garding our silver certificates which will
remove them from the least degree of
uncertainty. There are now about $780,
coo. 0Oo OF silver notes in circulation, and
while they are as good as gold and while
there is not the slightest doubt of the
ability of the country to sustain them
whether we legislate or rot, there have
been some suggestions that we ought
to make their status certain

PANA SETTLEMENT Is OFF.
Operators Fail to Meet the Miners to
Agree on Details.

Pana. Ills, June 6.-Secretary-T Treas
urer wii.iam D. Ryan, United Mine
Workers of America, arrived in Pana
from Springfield yesterday to act with
the committee Of union miners which by
previous engagement was to confer with
the operators and state arbitration
board yesterday in reference 20 the dis
charge of negroes and white non-union
miners, and finish the consideration of
union miners accepting the agreed price
and resuming work.
Contrary TO agreement and eXpecta
ton, however, the operators failed to
meet the miners committee, and the
decision of the arbitration board is now
recognized as null and the strike as far
from settlement as ii was April l, 1898
Fifty-five negroes and nOn-union min
ers Saturday demanded of the operators
of Penwell and Springside mines a raise
in price per tonnage scale OF 30H cents.
A scale of 3014 cents was set by the ar
bitratiGn board. The operators answer
was for the employees to clean up their
rooms and take their tools away, both
white and colored. The non-union men
returned to the pits yesterday morning
on scale of % cents a ton.

ONE UNRaCoNsTRUCTED CUBAN.
He Has No Use for Those Who Accept
That So Gratuity.

Havana, June 6.-Colonel Figueroa, OF
the Cuban infantry in Havana province,
in a letter to the Spanish editor of La
Lucia, passionately appeals to the SOL
diers who were mustered out last week
to refuse to give up their arms and ac-
cept the American gratuity. He de-
nounces those who act contrary to such
advice as towards" and voluntary
outcasts'' He says: The offer made
by the United States insults the hon
or of the army of,liberation, which did
not desert its posts even in the terrible
battle, and is a disgrace to the graves of
soldiers who died covered with glory.
Il do not doubt the sincerity of the
American promises; but if this money
is offered as a gift why do not the
Americans buy plows and oxen with it,
instead of insisting upon the delivery of
our guns. Guard, therefore, the flag.
which will be mine through life, and be
defended by my sabre. which will be un-
sheathed until the conservation of our
independence or the necessity arises for
returning a titanic stroke"

VIII LeGisIate on Money
Indianapolis, June 6.-The following
statement issued by the majority OF the
Indiana Republican delegation last
night explains the position of the dele
cation on the speakershlp issue:
In response to a call Representatives
jesse Overstreet, Geo. W. Faris, James
E. Watson. George w. Cromcr. James
a. Hemenway. Z. W. Crumpacker and
Mr.. Lands met at the Denison hotel
last night to confer on the subject of
the speakership Of the house of repre-
sentatives. Representatives Steele and
Brick were not present. The members of
the delegation present were unanimous
for Hon. d b. Henderson. of Iowa, for
speaker and sent him telegram ex-
tending greeting and pledging their
support There being no definite eX-
preston from Representatives steele
and Brick. the members present at the
conference did not assume TO speak for
them nor bind them by any vote"
Action Was Not IA Surprise.
This meeting was the result of a call
sent by telegraph TO each member last
Saturday. 1t is supposed that Repre-
sentatives Brick and Steele are out of
the state. as nothing has been heard
from them. Representative CruTpacker
was a Hopkins man until the latter
withdrew, but would have at any rate
stood by the decision of a majority Of
the delegation. The announcement of
surprise here as Lands and Watson
have been persistent in urging that
early action be taken. The intention
originally was to hold the conference in
August.
Later.-Telegrams have been received
from Brick and Steele pledging their
support to General Henderson. which
makes the expression of the delegation
unanimous.
Says 1t Is All Up with New York.
New York, June 6. - Representative
Sherman, of Utica. came to this city
yesterday to prepare for the meeting Of
the Republican representatives, from
New York state. which will be held al
the Fifth Avenue hotel today. Repre-
sentative George w. Ray, of Norwich,
called at Republican state headquarters
yesterday and gave his views on the
speakership contest. It's all up with
New York he said to a reporter.
Henderson has enough votes to elect
him already. and in a few days he Will
have nearly every state in the Union
back of him. Under the circumstances
all that the New York delegation can
do is to fall into line tomorrow and
whoOp it UP for Henderson. If we adopt
any other course we will be dragged
in the mud behind the Henderson
chariot Moreover, TO put forward
New York candidate when all the resi-
of the country * with Henderson woult
not improve the chances of New YORK
congressman to get well-placed on conG,
mittees."
