Board Would Not Allow Proceed
 ingS Given Out
AFFAIR WILL BE SETTLED TODAY
Hon. Frank Pettus Made the Boys a Long Talk, and This Is Supposed To Have Accounted For
 Their Action.

Tuscaloosa, December 14-(Special.) .)-The Board of Trustees of the University of Ala bama convened this afternoon shortly after 9 o'clock and were in sesion untisl 11:45 to- night.
 The legislative committee met with the Board of Trustees and the meeting was an executive session throughout.
 The trustees refused to give out any thing for publication, but very significant fact is that Hon. Frank Pettus, who has a son here, went before the boys and made them long talk, after which the boys an- swered tattoo call at 9:3O tonight, the first time since the night of the memorable in- surrection December 6. The roll was called as it was done prior to the insurrection and everything passed off very orderly.
 After the tattoo call had been answered Speaker Pettus brought to the Board of Trustees statement signed by committee CTS of the boys. The contents of this state ment the Board of Trustees refused to give out for publication.
 President Powers made statement to the board, and at first it was promised your correspondent, but it was afterwards de- cided to retain it until tomorrow, when it will be made public.
 The trustees adjourned to meet again to- morrow morning, but before they had time to leave they were called together, and it was stated that definite action would be taken, but after remaining in session some twenty minutes the trustees finally adjourned till S:30 o'clock tomorrow morn ing, when the affair will be finally settled.
 The impression is general that there will be no expulsion of the boys and no removal of the president or commandant.
 The fathers of several of the boys who were prominent in the rebellion have ar- rived here, and it may be due to their in- fiuence coupled with the talk made to the boys by Speaker Pettus, that they decided to answer tattoo tonight.
 Governor Jelks presided at the meeting of the trustees.

MORE AMENDMENTS
Suggested By the Senate Committee On
 Foreign Relations.

Washington, December 14.-The Senate committee on foreign relations today held a special meeting and decided to recom- mend further amendments to the Hay Pauncefote treaty. The committee adopted an amendment suggested by Senator For aker, which declares that the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty supercedes the Clay ton -Bulwer treaty and also strikes out the Hay-Paunce- fote agreement Article 3, which permits the submission to other powers and invites their acceptance of 1t.
 The action of the committee on foreign relations took place after prolonged con- ference of Senators especially interested in the ay-Pauncefote treaty The commit- tee was not called together until 11:46 o'clock, four minutes before the time for the converting of the Senate. There was therefore, no time for discussion of the amendment adopted or for others sug- gested.
 The Republican members announced that they were prepared to amend the treaty on the line of the Foraker suggestion, that they considered this amendment compre- hensive enough to meet all demands and that they should do no more The Foraker amendment was accordingly agreed to, and the committee adjourned in time to permit the members to be in the Senate ohaber when the Senate called to order The meeting of Senatorial friends of the
 
 mittee room, many of those present being members of the Republican committees on the order of business The meeting today was really the continuance of the confer ence which was begun yesterday after the adjournment of the Senate.
 As to Pending Legislation.
 The importance of the treaty relative to pending legsla tion was considered. and e decision was arrived at to press the agree ment to a vote if possible. It also was de- cided that it would be difficult to get it through without still further amendmen, and the Foraker amendment was suggest ed as meeting all the objections.
 The President and Secretary Hay were also consulted with reference to the ad- visibility of further amending the treaty by Senators Lodge and Foraker. who called upon them before coming to the capitol today.
 Unless amended beyond any degree pro- posed in the Senate by the responsible leaders and resolved into such form as to make 1t an absolutely discourteous matter to be communicated. the pending Hay. Pauncefote treaty will be submitted to the

SILVER RISING.

The price of silver has been rising steadily for some time past, and is now about 64 cents in New York. the highest point it has reached since February. 1897. The advance has been about Il cents an ounce since the opening of the year. It does not appear to be in any way g speculative movement. but is rather the result of a steady demand for the metal. We have heretofore referred to the large shipments to the east this year, and we find that the quantity sent to China has not decreased in conse- quence of the troubles there, but has rather increased. The foreign forces in China are making payments of some amount, and in the ports that are open the Chinese merchants pre- fer silver to goods in trade Outside of the eastern demand the sales in Europe, chiefly for industrial pur- poses, have been good. The large consumption of the metal has natur- ally tended to support prices, and a further moderate rise is probable.

highest electoral vote ever given a candidate before or since, except the vote given President Lincoln in 1861 when some of the states did not vote. Now we have the terrifying issue again. Again militarism and the de struction of the republic and the es- tablishment of an empire is haunting the dreams of the democracy. Such an issue is now, as it was before, an

How about it: Be it still Mark Murphy? Eh?
 In democracy's dining room: Come in Colonel, and have a piece of the bird. There are some tail feather. left, yet"
 Governor Murphy held a rousinc republican meeting at Bisbee last night. The governor is making the kind of fight that means success .- Citizen.
 Mark Smith was evidently looking out for the interests of Mark Smith instead of the general good of the party when he absolutely declined to make concessions in any way what ever to any of Colonel Wilson's of fers.
 We have said, and said truthfullv. that morally Mark Smith had no right in this race, and we still believe that, legally, he was not regularly nominated. - Courier. The Courier has a large number of demo cratic voters on his side who hold the same opinion. and they will hand Smith what he needs on election day.
 The coal miners object because they are forced to mine about 5000 pounds of coal to make up a ton of 2240 pounds. This seems very un- fair. but in fact it is not so. There are very few tons of coal mined that do not contain at least 600 pounds of slate, etc, that must be rejected when the coal reaches daylight.
 The Courier can print all the stuff it wants to about Governor Mnrpby's blacklisting proclamation but every owner of mines and prospects in the county knows that \. O. Murphy. bv exposing the swindling mine opera tors did more for the honor and credit of Yavapai than any executive that was ever at the head of the territorial government.
 The Southwestern Miners Associa- ton has taken up the work of getting proper signs put up on the desert.

The report has it that Wilson Ina, been promised the gOyernorship if he will give Smith a clear field. if Vii
 son has kept track of the national campaign, and we assume that he has, this promise can not be very al turing to him. And of course the anxiety of the Smith faction to get rid of him has not been lost upon him. While the Smithocrats have been pooh-poohing his candidacy they yet have lost much sleep and have kept the wires hot trying to get him on the side track. Republican
