that might threaten single Dill

and free wool combine in sufficient
strength to endanger the Democratlc
majority in the Senate were discuss
ed, but no agreement was reached
that binds the Senate leaders to any
definite line of action.
While the Senate conference WAS

counterfeitins the New Nickel.

Word has reached the treasury de-
partment that it's chaste. new scent
pieces, the glorified nickels adorned
with buffalo and Indian head, ARE al
ready the subject of emulation and sus-
picion. Before the public in general has
had time or opportunity to become ac-
ouainted with the original, enterprising
gentlemen have begun to issue imita-
tions, similar in every respect save the
inconvenient one that they are COM
posed of lead. 1t Is possible that those
responsible for these counterparts are
simply esthetic souls, who have been
unable to wait for the new nickel to
come to them in due course, and whose
only motive is the desire to feast their
eyes on the artistic splendor of new
design. The Secret Service bureau, how
ever, inclines to the belief that they are
counterfeiters, pure and simple. and ac-
tuated by reasons entirely worldly and
financial.-New York Evening Sun.
