PASSAGE or THE MONEY BILL.
How the Senate Measure Compares with
One Passed by the House.


The national Senate has passed the
money bill recommended by a committee
of Republican Senators. The measure In
its general purpose is similar to the bill
passed earlier in the session by the
House. The most striking difference is
the refunding plan Of the Senate bill,
which was not part OF the House meas
ure. The main aims of both bills are tc
establish the gold standard by law and
to prevent the utilization of the green
backs to drain the treasury of gold. Mr..
Chandler of New Hampshire was the
only Republican Senator who voted
against the measure. and on the Demo
cratic side only Messrs. Lindsay Of Ken
tucky and Caffrey OF Louisiana support
ed the passage of the measure. During
the months debate most of the promi-
nent Senator's have made their positions
plain.
There are differences between the Sem
ate and House bills which will require
the appointment of conference commit
tee of the two houses to larfcct the meas
nre. The understanding is that the
House will accept most, IL not all, the
changes made by the Senate, and that the
bill will become law IN practically the
The House bin provides for reserve
fund, the holding of an amount of gold
coin and bullion equal to - per cent of
the amount both of Unised States and
treasury notes issued Under the act Of
1890 outstanding The Senate bill makes
the reserve $150,000,0o0 in gold coin. The
Senate also changed the sections relating
to banks, bonds and funding and added

purpose of the act to place any obstacles
in the way of the accomplishment of in
ternational bimetallsm.
The chief provisions of the Senate
financial bill are:
Th.t the dollar, consisting of 25.S
grains of gold, nine-tenths fine shall con-
tinue to be the standard unit of value.
That the Secretary of the Treasury
shall set apart a reserve fund of $780,

KIMBERLEY is SAFE.
RELIEF AT LAST ARRIVES FOR
BESiEGED TOWN.
GsneraI French, with Artillery, Cav
airy and Mounted Infantry, Lifts the
ssiege-March Was Accomplished in a
Fierce Sandstone and Terrific Heat.

London was electrified Friday by the
announcement from the war office that
zen. French with his mounted force had
entered Kimberley. II is reported he met
with no opposition. The news of the re.
lief of Kimberley was received with re-
Joieings aud is regarded as the turning
of the tide. The report that Gen, Cronje
did not contest Gen. Frcnch's advance
causes great surprise.
The news Of the relief of Kimberley
came to London like a ray of sunshine out
of dark cloud. Public rejoicings were
widespread and unrestrained. Lord Rob
erts was praised to the skies. The relief
Of the besieged city is due, in the public
mind, to his brilliant strategy. Kitchener
and French are forgotten, as it is believed
the former organized the forces and
French, the cavalry header, executed
Roberts plan of boldncss and DASH
The movement began on Monday, when
French swooped down on Dekils' Drift
and crossed the Riet river. Tuesday he
continued his dash and moved his forces
twenty-five miles in little over SIX hours
capturing three Boer laagers at Kip
Drift on the Modder river. The march
was accomplished during a fierce sand
storm and while the heat was terrific
That was the last heard of him until the
relief of Kimberley was announced Fri
day. 1t is figured that after a brief rest
he pushed right on for Kimberley, reach
ing there in less than forty-eight hours
after his capture of Kip Drift.
The siege of Kimberley began on Oct
a, and about 1000 men under Col. Ke.
kewich have defended the place with
bravery and skill. Many times the Beers
have attacked the place without definite
success. Gen. Cronje commanded the be-
siegers. Reports from Kimberley at va
rious times have told of the suherings
of the garrison and the people cooped uI
there, but in the face of this the city
held up stubbornly for the relief which
has at last come.
Cecil Rhodes was eooped up in kimber
ley. and the desperate efforts of the Beers
to capture the place were prompt.l, in 0
large degree, by their desire TO take as
prisoner the man whom they hold respon
sible for the whole trouble in South AT
rica. President Kruger had special hat
red for Rhodes, whom he denominates
"the butcher" and it has been declared
that if the diamond king were captured
a ransom price of f2,0U0,000 would be
placed on the great financier. And so the
Boer lines have been drawn tightly and
strongly about the town, which Col
Plumer has held with great difficulty ant
under frequent and harassing lombard
ments.

been made the steel company by pros

Carnegie. it is alleged, forced Frick
out of the management of the steel com
pany for personal reasons. According TO
the latter's story the immense profits Of
the company are largely the result of his
efficient financifing. lie asks that the
court appoint a receiver for the steel
works, that the debts be paid and the
surplus distributed among the partners,
large and small.
Frick says that If Carnegie is permitted
TO manage the business z loss will result.

WILL Ann THE ZULUS.
British TO Seek Aid of the Savages in
War with Beers.


In the House of Commons during the
course of a reply to question relative
to the probable Boer invasion of Zulu
land, the secretary of state for the colo
MES, Joseph Chamberlain, said that the
Government had decided that if the ma
tive territories were invaded by the Beers
the natives will be encouraged and as
sisted in every way in defending them
seig es."
Mr.. Balfour, the Government leader,
dealing with the same subject and the
possibility of employing Indian troops,
said that his former statement to the
effect that the Government would not
employ natives in the present war was
based on the belief that by common con-
sent the war would be confined to the
two European races, adding: If the
Beers adopt a course inconsistent with
that idea we hold ourselves free to re-
consider our decision"
Mr.. Chamberlain's announcement
the intention of the Government to en-
courage the Zulus to defend themselves
from the Beers is contingency that the
Beers seem to have anticipated, as they
have been doing everything in their pow
er to win the good will of the Basutos
who have thousands Of good rifles The
Beers gave 1000 Basutos a safe conduct
If the British let loose one tribe the
Beers will probably let loose another.

INCREASE IN FARM ANIMALS S
Annual Stock Report Shows the In
dustry Is Improving.

The annual farm stock report of the
Orange Judd Farmer, based on local re-
ports from county agents, shows that the
live stock industry is improving. There
Is an increase in the number of every
class of farm animals except mules, and
coincident with this increase in numbers
is a big advance in the average price a
head of all animals. The present re-
turns show that not only has the shrink
age in this form of wealth brtweer 1892
and 1896 been recovered, but aggre-
gate valuation of farm stock now passes
previous record
The advance in average price a head
from the low point reached at the depths
of the depression amounts to 36 per cent
for horses, % for mules, 80 for cows, 16
for other cattle, SO for sheep and u for
hogs. In the upward swing only cattle
and sheep have passed the previous best
record Of price a head.

Middle Ridge, prosperous little Ger

most terrible crime ever perpetrated in
La Crosse County. Edmund OFT, while

Of desperadoes he thought We're about to

old daughter. He shot his wife twice,
but she will recover. He then killed him
self. The gunshot set FIRE to otis cloth

burned to crisp and the house destroy
