KING IN WASHINGTON
Former Congressman From Utah
Has Strong Hopes of Dem
oCratic Success.
Especial to The HeraldJ


Washington, July 23.-Judge W. II.
King of Salt Lake city, former mem
Der of congress. when in Washington
today, spoke hopefully Of the outlook
Tor the national Democracy. He said.
Western Democrats are beginning to
feel that their party is getting on rising
ground. The sentiment in our section
is that there has been enough of frat
ricidal strife and that there are plenty
of issues on which Democrats can get
together and give battle to the common
foe as of old. We want Cleveland men
and Bryan men alike to bury remem-
brance of past schisms and to join
hands for q most vigorous fight In 1904.
In Utah Democrats would look with
much pleasure upon the nomination OF
some influential eastern man. Judge
Parkey and Mr.. Olney would suit us.
The belief is that with such a leader
as either of these and with platform
that would appeal to conservative citi-
zens there would be a great chance for
victory. From late revelations of rot
tenness in the federal departments it
is high time that a change of admin
istration should ensue and one slogan
of next year viii be, turn the rascals
out"

WITH
WORK IN BERLIN
Monetary Commission Will Now
Proceed to St. Petersburg.
RESULTS ARE SATISFACTORY
PROJECT FOR UNIFORM CUR
RENCY FOR CHINA.

II ERLIN, July 25.-The conferences
n OF the American and Mexican
monetary commission with the
German committee were concluded to
day. The promptness with which the
government appointed the German
commissioners, and their speed in dis
patching business, enabled the Amer
leans TO finish their work here in one
week, whereas they expected TO remain
three weeks. The Americans and
MeXicans win proceed to St. Peters
burg on Sunday.
From a statement handed to a cor
respondent Of the Associated Press by
the American commission it appears
that a unanimous agreement on a Sc
ries Of resolutions was reached re-
garding a uniform monetary system
for China on a gold basis with a silver
circulation The resolution declares Il
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 fixed. The resolutions
further recommend the gOld-Using
countries buying silver for subsidiary
coinage to observe regularly. The
German delegates passed a resolution
to the effect that Germany does not
need 20 buy silver. having already
about one hundred millions above her
requirements in circulation. The resO-
lUtiOns disclaim promoting bimetallism
o. any change in the monetary sys-
tenn of the gold countries.
The Americans and MeXicans express
qualification with the results of the
work in Berlin. President Creel, OF
the Mexican commission said that IL
the project for a uniform currency for
China was soon carried out and the
silver purchases of Europe and the
United States were made regularly. the
fluctuations which have been so inju-
riOus to the trade between the silver
end the gold countries viii cease. Rep
resentatives of the Chinese government
who were present at the conferences at
London, Paris and Berlin expressed ap-
prevail Of the proposition to give China
q uniform currency.

WITNESS BEGGED OFF
Herman Eppinger Was Afraid He
Would Tell the Referee
Too Much.

san Francisco. July 2S.-SOme of the
methods of bookkeeping by the defunct
firm of Eppinger & CO. were brought
out tOday in the examination of Her
nan Eppinger before Referee Milton J.
Green. For six years Joshua Eppinger,
the son of the man under examination,
was drawing money from the firm in
all kinds of amounts. On May 1 of this
year the young man was credited with
1000.
Herman Eppinger made again the
statement that his brother Jake had
withdrawn money from the firm, but he
could not tell how much. Jacob Ep-
plnger was to have been present today.
but was absent on account of illness.
His examination was postponed until
next Thursday morning.
Referee Milton J. Green presided over
the court, and Herman Eppinger was
accompanied by his attorney, Henry
Ach. Mr.. Friedenrich represented the
creditors, and piled the witness with
questions until the latter begged off on
the plea that an answer might tend TO
ircriminate him. This was on the ad-
vice of his attorney.
Mr.. Friedenrich was DESTROYS of
learning something of the personal
property of the witness. He asked him
with regard to what he had saved out
Of the wreck.
Herman Eppinger replied that he had
a small deposit in the First National
bank of Oakland and another in the
Canadian Bank of Commerce. He has
an interest in d mining claim in Sisl1i-
You county. which ne believes to be
Valueless. He also had several insur-
ance policies which had been assigned
to his wife. He said that he knew little
about the books. saving that the firm
was a "one-man power" and he only
guessed how it was getting along. He
declined TO answer when asked what
occurred at an interview between him
self and Manager Bowles of the Ameri-
can National bank, on the ground that
it might tend to incriminate him.
Manager Bowles and probably Jacob
Eppinger will be examined on Thurs
day, July 80.

A terrific tornado visited Tombstone
