UNIFORM MONETARY
SYSTEM IN SIGHT
Conclusion an Unexpected
Success of the Confer
enceS in Berlin.

BERLIN, July 23-The conferences
of the American and Mexican none
tary commissions with the German
representatives were concluded today.
The Americans and Mexicans will pro-
coed to st. Petersburg on Sunday.
A unanimous agreement on series
Of resolutions was reached regarding
a uniform monetary system for China
on gold basis, with a silver circula-
ton. The resolution declares it to be
desirable for both China and the gold
using countries trading there if a fixed
relation of the silver coins to gold
could be established. The resolutions
recommend the gold-using countries
buying silver for subsidiary coinage to
observe regularity.
The German delegates passed a res
olution that Germany does not need to
buy silver, having already about one
hundred millions above her require
ments in circulation. The resolutions
disclaim promoting bimetallism. or any
change in the monetary system of the
gold countries. The Americans and
Mexicans express great satisfaction
with the results of the work in Ber-
lin. President Creel, of the Mexican
commission, said that if the project for
uniform currency for China was
soon carried out, and the silver pur-
chases of Europe and the United
States were made regularly the f1uctu-
atoms which have been so injurious
to the trade between the silver and the
gold countries will cease

KING HOLDS COURT
IN DUBLIN CASTLE
Social Function Achieves What
English Statesmen Sought
in Vain.

DUBLIN, July 24.-It was after mid
night when the days festivities closed.
The king and quera held splendid
court at the castle last night in the ia
nous st. Patrick's hall. which was
gorgeously decorated and Illuminated.
Their majesties entered the hall at
1890 o'clock with all the accompani-
ments of state and took their places
near the throne. which was the center
of brilliant group. including the Duke
and Duchess of Connaught and Earl
Dudley and other state officers in full
uniform. There they received the
most representative body of the Irish
nobility and the Irish people which
has been seen at the Castle in many
years.
Queen Alexandra wore a cream col
ored gown embroidered with gold She
wore vari-colored jewels in the form OF
shamrocks and her diamond ornaments
were set in designs of rose, thistle
and shamrocks.
The influence of the sovereigns Sc
cured a social union which English
statesmen had vainly sought to at
tain. The Irish guards acted as a
guard of honor and the grand staircase
was lined with lancers. 1t was a func-
ton of regal magnificence, and it was
not until the last name on the list
had been read out and the last debu
tante had made her curtsey that their
majecties quilted the scene.
King Edward yesterday reviewed
$4,000 troops and 5000 men of the ma
val brigade in Phoenix park. 1t was
the largest muster of troops ever seen
at review in Ireland. The Duke of
Connaught was in command. Prior to
leaving the vice regal lodge his ma
| jesty presented colors to the royal Hi
| bernian military school.

CHAMBERLAIN is
DEFENDED BY BALFOUR
Premier Says Debate on Fiscal Cues
ton Is Harmful Now.

LONDON, July 23.-Addressing the
Primrose league at a dinner tonight,
Premier Balfour warmly defended
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
against unreasonable attacks because
he had given, as he had the right to
do, expression to the views of the
colonies on the fiscal question. No
man, Mr. Balfour said, had a better
opportunity than Mr.. Chamberlain of
knowing their views.
Mr.. Balfour reiterated his previous
statement that the government APP
preached the question with an open
mind and said it was folly to expect
the ministry, on a moments notice, to
produce formulated scheme on so
great a subject. The government had
pledged itself not to ask the country
to make a change until after the gem
eral election, and premature and hasty
parliamentary debate could only pro-
duce divisions among friends without
benefiting the country.
Meanwhile Mr.. Chamberlain is ac-
lively prosecuting his campaign of ed
ucation on the tariff question.
LONDON, July 23.-In a speech in
the house of lords today the Duke of
Devonshire .candidly avowed that the
free trade ministers are retaining Of
flee with the object of strengthening
the free trade cause. This increases
the speculation as to what course the
government will pursue. Premier Bal
tours refusal to permit discussion in
the house of commons while the sub
ject is being constantly ventilated in
the house of lords begins to cause
even Mr.. Chamberlains followers to
advocate freer discussion in order that
the matter may be thoroughly thresh-
ed out.

CIRCUIT JUDGES PASS
QUESTION TO SUPREME COURT
Continued From First Page.

supreme court will be asked to decide
it,
The question arose in a case which
had been carried up to the circuit court
of appeals from the Nebraska district,
where it was tried in the United States
court, the title of the case being The
Union Stock Yards. of Omaha, against
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad.
Edward Goodwin. an employee of the
Hammond Packing company, doing
business at the Union stock yards at
South Omaha, was placed in charge of
car belonging to the Burlington road,
Which was to be switched to the tracks
beside the Hammond plant Within the
STOCK yards the car was in charge of
the Union Stock Yards company, and
while the car was in their charge
Goodwin was injured.
He brought suit against the Union
Stock Yards company for damages. al
le ging to the car to be defective. In
the district court he recovered dam
ages and the Nebraska supreme court
affirmed the decision.
The Union Stock Yards company
then brought suit in the federal court
against the Burlington road, contend
ing the car to be defective when it was
delivered to them, and on this ground
the stock yards people sought to Sc
cure judgment against the Burlington
for the amount of damages Goodwin
had recovered. The United States dis
tricta court held that the Burlington
was not reSDOnSible and the casa was
appealed to the United States circuit
court of appeals, and was heard in st.
Paul at the May term of that court.
After serious consideration of the
points involved the circuit court judges
were unable to decide the case, and
took the unusual method of referring
the question to the United States SUI

CAUSES A GREAT PANIC.
Officials Lose Their Wits and Allow Pas
sengers to Die In Flames-Firemen
Unable for Hours to Reach the VIC
Tins, Until They Finally Succeed in
Flooding Burning Mass.

Paris, Aug. 12.-An awful catastro-
phe occurred last evening on the Met
ropolitan electric railway, which runs
mostly underground, in which 80 per-
sons are believed to have lest their
lives. Eighty-two bodies have been
recovered and the search continues.
One Of the trains broke down at Menil-
montant, which is poor and populous
section of the city. This train was
promptly emptied, and the train which
followed was ordered to push it to the
repairing sheds. On the way these two
trains caught fire, but the employees
succeeded in escaping. Meanwhile a
crowded train reached Les Charonnes,
the preceding station, and the officials
seeing smoke pouring out of the tun-
mel, gave the alarm. A panic ensued,
the passengers struggling to escape.
Amid the increasing smoke many al
tempted to return along the line toward
Belleville and were suffocatsd. The
officials seem to have lost their heads
and are unable to say how many pas
sengers went out. The fremen for sew
eral hours we've unable to enter the sta
tion or the tunnel, owing to the dense
smoke, which poured out in black
clouds. Meanwhile tens of thousands
of anxious people gathered about the
station. All the police and fire engines
were on the spot and the excitement
was intense.

Brown, cashier of the Union bank at
New Holland, O., is missing, and it
said there is shortage of nearly $751;

we're not opened at the usual hour this
morning as Brown had the combina-
ton. An expert from Canton. O.,
opened the safe this evening in the
presence of the directors, and only $458
in coiu was found.
The books show deposits of $780, 900
one week ago, and also show $99, 1000
in loans. ASHER Browns shortage
will probably be in the neighborhood
of $75 900. The shortage, go far, foots
up $50, SAP, and an examination of the
books may show heavier losses.
The bank is an incorporated concern,
which, under the Ohio laws, makes
each stockholder liable for double the

of any shortage that may occur.
The Union bank was established Is

The school census for the year end

are in the state 143, ,757 persons be-
tween the ages of and 20 years, At
the same time last year the school
population was 1885, SO that an in

The average daily attendance in all
the public schools of the state during
the preceding year has been 64,219,
while for the preceding year it was
66,779, or decrease of 1850. A de
crease in the average daily attend
ance at the same time that there is
an increase in stae school population
is probably due to the scarcity of
