SILVER BRICK SUIT.
Plans foe Bringing the Proposed
Action Are Under Consideration.


DENVER, Dec 24.-,Judge A w. Ruck-
er has returned from st. Louis, where he
conferred with number of leading silver
men OF the country concerning the pro-
posed silver brick suit, which is to be
carried into the supreme court Of the
United States. The judge says no final
plan was adopted, as 1T Is necessary to
consult with others before the movement
is put under way. He found many DEM
ocrats in sympathy with the idea, but
Mr.. Bryan is yet to be heard from.
Judging by expressions of prominent
men who came to st. Louis to talk over
the question" said the judge "the feel
Ing Is quite strong for the measure. It
was shown that two suits are now pend
ing. IN which, perhaps, the principles are
to be decided, as in the case which has
been under discussion. I was invited to
go to Washington and appear before the
supreme court in these cases. 1t Is pos
sible that the whole question may be
determined In the opinions in the cases
now pending, Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama, and George Fred Williams, of Mas
sachusetts. have volunteered to assist in
the legal fight without compensation and
others are eager to do the same thing.
1t is necessary, however, to raise 5000 900
or $300,000 for expenses, and that is the
question to be decided SOON"
Judge Rucker, as president of the Mon
etary league has called a meeting of the
league to be held in this city next Tues
Gay evening, when the methods of pro-
cedure will be discussed and also the best
means of raising money for the work. The
Indications are that If a new case is insti-
tuted 1t will rot be commenced in the

Ing One-OperatOrs and Growers
Are Out Much Money.
There were bright anticipations of a
profitable apple season. But that was be-
fore the warm October and November of
1893. From all parts of the country the
report Is the same. The Kansas City
Journal Of Commerce says the loss to the
dealers in that city will reach 5000 GOO.
The situation as related in Kansas City Is
a counterpart Of the experience in St.
Paul and Minneapolis
THE apple stock Is in a horrible eondi-
tton," says the Kansas City trade paper.
There are several firms on the street
who will be fortunate If their losses on
apples are no more than $4,000 each The
stock in transit heats and the decay
works at fearful rate. Many barrels are
leaky before unloading and total loss
Even the New York apples, where the
shippers are experienced are losing bad

reaching this market Is two or three
times greater than last year at this time
Much of the stock on arrival is SO bad
that no offer is refused for it. The cold

eggs are not moving to make room fo1

900 Eggs, in the Ice Houses.
The st. Paul correspondent Of The Egg
Reporter, takes an optimistic view of the
situation He says:
The egg business has been on the
boom in this territory for the past year.
Prices, demand and consumption have
Deen In advance of recent seasons, and
the accumulation of . storage eggs is
greater by at least per cent than for
the two preceding years.
THE storage stock in Minnesota is put
at $4,000 cases. In 1898 it was 65, 600 cases.
These figures, of course, do not show the
egg business of the state One st. Paul
mouse has been shipping east and west
5000 cases week throughout the season,
and grocers and merchants in all the
towns that have had surplus over con-

QUAY MORE CONFIDENT.
HE AND HIS FRIENDS BELIEVE HIS
CHANCES ARE IMPROVED.

fBr TELEGRAPH TRTBUSE.l
Harrisburg, Jan. 1.-THE indications now
are that in the Senate fight which is being
waged so aercely here Senator Quay will prooa'
bly, win. This became apparent to-day when
two Of those who stayed out OF the caucus last
Tuesday night. and were counted as against
Quay. handed In their written denials that they
were opposed to him, and said that they would
remain with him to the end. This gives him
III votes. with only Il to get and they will
probably be forthcoming shortly after the bal

They consider that as the case has not yet
been tried the conditions are unchanged. and
they will stand by Quay.
Senators Quay and Penrose started for WASH
ington this evening Before going, the senior
Senator said that he would certainly win, ana
announced that the outlook was brighter now
than at any time before. Frank Willing Leach
who used TO be Wanamakers lieutenant. says
that the election Of Quay Is certain, the only
thing 10 be settled being how and when. 1t

The anti-Quay people, claiming 20 have forty

what is going and TO call meetings when
necessary This conference had intended TO

name was about TO be placed before II, when
he made special request that IT should take
no action. 1t is probable that the anti-Quay
people will Ak on a man at the conference next
Monday. but up to the present everything is
unsettled.
The Democratic members OF the Legislature
met to-day and named George a. jerks over

sidered as part Of the Quay victory. An at
