Wednesday night 4 man named A.

cured and Lewellen was comfortably
housed below the water tank for the
night. This morning Commissioner
Clark employed carpenters and work
was Immediately begun on n pest
house. located under a hill about half
Il mile north of the county hospital.
This will be furnished with every.
timing necessary and Lewellen will be

From DR.. Hood we learn that about
two weeks ago Lewellen left Sump-

house and made his way to Terrace,
Utah. At Terrace he was taken sick
and being without funds worked his
way to Wells on an engine. Arriving
there last night the engineer gave
him money to get his sapper and he
went into n hotel TO eat. but as soon
rs he had eaten the citizens Of Wells
bought him a ticket to Elko. No u
in Wells would talk to him except to
say: Get away from me-
When the train came along Le-
welien got Oh and came here. He is
about IS years of age. and is perfect

THE GOLD STANDARD.


Washington, Feb. 17.-plans are al
ready under consideration at the
treasury department for carrying out
the gold standard law as soon as the
conference report agreed upon on Fri
day last is ratified by the two houses
and approved by President Mckinley.
1t is expected that the measure will
become law before the middle of
March. One of the first things to be
done will be the change of the daily
treasury statement so as to state
separately the redemption funds and
the ordinary working balance of the
treasury. The sum of $15O,OOO,OOO will
be set aside as a trust fund for the re-
demption of legal tender notes and
the gold held against gold certificates
and the silver held against the silver
certificates will be treated in the same
manner. All these items will 60 to
the redemption account, which will
thus contain about $3.50, 100000 in coin
and in legal tender notes held against
currency certificates. The remainder
of the treasury funds will be carried
TO the fiscal division, which will dea
only with the everyday transactions
of the treasury in collecting taxes ano
paying current expenses.

his respects to President Mckinley
yesterday Mr.. Sewall has been to
Hawaii on his way to the Philippines,
but was prevented from continuing
his journey by the plague outbreak.
He denied a recent interview in which
he was quoted as forecasting the de-
feat of the democratic party this year.

them every law of the United States.
Make them territory of this country
without discrimination as to tariff
or other laws. also want to keep
the Philippines, but think we should
ultimately establish a republic there,

Cristobal Colon was in good order.
He took his meals with me on board
the New York and more than once as
sured me th;t his ship was in good
order. The Colon floatet off without
any assistance and Capt. Chadwick
pushed her back on shore, where she
now lies. At low tide she is about
ten feet dry. AS | SAID before, the
captain said he had not injured her.

CONGRESS OF CYLISTS.


Paris. Feb. 91.-1he congress of the
international Cyclists association
concluded its deliberations yesterday
after many stormy sessions, The
question of the retirement of the
League of American Wheelmen from
the association and the admission OF
the National Cycling association in its
place furnished the subject for warm
discussions. A British delegate
moved that the League OF American
Wheelmen, although no longer gov
erning American racing, should re-
main affiliated to the International
Cyclists association, and that Ameri-
can racing men be placed in the same
category as Germans. The motions
were rejected and the congress voted
the admission of the National Cycling
association as the successor to the
League of American Wheelmen. As a
consequence of the definite settlement
of the American conflict the congress
granted full amnesty to all racing
men who had been penalized by either
rival association.

BRYAN INTERVIEWED.
Ths pres,deut,si Candidate IL Asked What
the Paramount issues IN tho Approach'
ing Campaign Will BE.

Memphis. Tenn. Feb. 27.-Wi'liam
j. BRYAN arrived in Memphis at nine
o'clock yesterday morning, and was
piyen an enthusiastic reception by
thousands of local and visiting adj
mirers. The early morning trains on
all the railroads were loaded with
visitors who came to hear and see
Mr. Bryan and to join in the celebra-
ton of Mardi Gras. In the morning
breakfast was rendered the Nebras-
kan by Honorable W. ii. Carroll and
reception was held at the Peabody
hotel in the afternoon. Last night
Mr.. Bryan delivered an address at the
Auditorium The huge structure was
packed with people and many were
denied admittance.
In an interview Mr.. Bryan was
asked what the paramount issues IN
the approaching campaign would be,
He said
swell, that depends. There are
three questions before the public, the
money question, trusts and imperial
ism. Men differ as to the relative
value of these questions, but the re-
pubicans are on the defensive OF all
of them. Events will do much to de-
termne which issue will exercise the
most influence. For instance, the cur
rency bill. which is now in confer
ence, has emphasized the money
question because it attempts to carry
the gold standard a little farther and
to turn paper money over to national
bank. Every new trust tends to
emphasize the trust question. the
Boer war and the Puerto Rcan tariff
bill are emphasizing the question oil
Imperialism. But. as said, the re-
publican party is on the defensive OF
all of them and the fight will be made
all along. All three of the questions
are alive"
as not the free silver sentiment
dying out, or is it as strong as 1t evel
was, in your opinion was asked.
"No, il is not dying out" repliet
Mr.. Bryan, "and the editors who con
tinue to say that it is know better
The action of the republican part,
in amending the currency bill as
last resort so as to revive the promis
of international bimetallism, is con
fession that the gold standard is no
satisfactory and no republican edito
can explain that amendment excep
