I was not in New York last July Well, I knowed I Seer, him, but I smile back, and say. Dat s right, I guess; must a. been somebody dat looked like yo' does. After while dat Alabama man come down stairs lookin' fo' me. He say, Look here, yo' damn fool; aint go no sister. and you neber seen me in New York til now-'member dat, can't you? And den he slipped a five to me, and done for got de instunce.'
 What was the mans name, Oliver" l
 asked.
 Les se-I done said he give me $ to forget bout him, but" 'Ncvei mind, Oliver; don't overtax your memory" I told him; you see, don't Care to hear about occurrences like that, which might injure the mans marital standing if they became known. And that little chat with Oliver re- minds me: The colored waiter in New
 York oity is as rarely seen as a drunken
 man in Birmingham. But pernaps that had best be modified. Now that Birming- ham is prohibition territory again, Of
 course, there is never a drunken man on
 it's streets, because prohibition prohibits
 drunkenness-a prohibtionist told me so
 himself, while one may really find col

 since the republican convention started, 1t

A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER

Subsequent negotiations resulted in an agreement on the part of the syndicate and the government to accept the prop ostion One of the f.asons why it was regarded by MT. Morgan as highly ex- pedient to accept the Deutsche banks proposition lay in the fact that it would make possible imports of gold. and if there were imports of gold then therA would be a restoration of confidence which would become so strong that the
 American banks would gladly buy the per cent bonds. The arrangements as perfected involved an accumulation in the treasury of $l00.00O000 in gold. The Deutsche bank began instantly to ex- port gold, sending it by way of Genoa, Italy. There was speedy publication of the fact that a renewal of gold imports had begun and this informat ton had eX actly the effect MT. Morgan believed it would It caused ready market for the per cent bonds and an appreciation in
 the market price for them. The Deutsche
 bank through MT. Adams, would have
 sent $25000,000 and did send a part of
 this sum. The success of the loan how ever. was so great that Mr. Adams cabled to the Deutsche bank to withhold an nstalment of gold which the bank was ready to ship.
 The syndicate pledged itself to protect
 not only the bonds, but the gold. It did
 protect the gold so that none of it was
 withdrawn from the treasury depart
 n,ent. The presidential election in the
 fall of 1896 and the assurance it gave
 that Congress would auopt the exclusive
 gold standard put an end to the dangers
 which President Cleveland was compelled
 to face and overcome during three years

 Although felicitations were numerous there also was serious consideration of campaign plans. The chief affairs reQuir- ing the nominees immediate attention are the selection of a national chairman, the opening of headquarters and deciding on a summer headquarters for himself. Sev- eral party leaders submitted suggestions on all three subjects, all of which MT. Hughes took under consideration. The nominee had nothing to say as to whether he had received a communica- ton from Oyster Bay.
 Party leaders seem to agree that the campaign would be started early. MT. Parsons said that in his opinion the cam paign already was on.
 Ut started Saturday, he said, "when MT. Hughes sent his telegram to Chair man Harding"
 CAMPAIGN OPENS THIS WEEK
 The campaign in New York city is to be opened this week, MT. Koenig said.
 How the progressives will vote, whether Colonel. Roosevelt will support MT. Hughes, whether the colonel will take the stump for him, to what extent failure of the progressives to support Hughes would affect the election, these and kindred topics were the subject of much specu,a- ton on the part of republican leaders.
 Although MT. Hughes declined to com ment on political affairs, he settled one question today. Some of his callers ad- dressed him as Governor" some as MT. Justice Hughes" some as MT. Hughes, ' and one outspoken admirer called him MT. President" MT. Hughes held up his hand.
 "No," he said, q resigned as gover- nor; I am no longer a supreme court jus. tice, and-well, just make it plain MT. Hughes"
 Because of the press of political con- ferences, MT. Hughes stated late today that he would not be able to take part in the preparedness parade at Washing ton on Wednesday. He had planned to march In the parade, in which President Wilson will participate.

OFFER TWO HUNDRED MILLION

The communication set forth in a few lines that MT. Adams had been given by the Deutsche bank power of attorney to deal with the federal government at Washington in the name of the Deutsche bank and to offer a loan of $20O OO0, ,000 in gold, the security for which was to bt United States per cent bonds. Not at any other time since great international financing was under way has there been voluntary offer by the great national bank of one nation to make a loan of many millions in gold to another.
 MT. Adams went immediately to the of flee of J. P. Morgan & Co. He found MT. Morgan at his desk evidently griev- ously concerned over the impending crisis. He greeted MT. Adams and asked what was new. In reply MT. Adams showed to him the offer of the Deutsche bank of loan of s2O0,00O.OO0 in gold to the United States government.
 In a few moments, MT. Morgan and James Stillman, president of the National City bank, and Mr. Adams were in con ference. The suggestion was made by MT. Adams that MT, Morgan organize syndicate of which he was to be the head which would guarantee and protect the government bonds that were issued as security for the loan To this proposi- tion MT. Morgan agreed. He communi- cated immediately with the administra- tion at Washington and followed tele- phonic communication with a letter ad- dressed to the President. In this let ter he stated that he was prepared to pledge a loan of as much as $200, COG, 900 III gold based upon per cent bonds
 The communication was followed by personal conference with the President, although neither the latter or the Sec retary of the Treasury. Mir. Carlisle, was informed of the nature of the resource upon which MT. Morgan could rely for a loan in gold of that size.
 Nor was it ever known, excepting to MT. Morgan,t to MT. Adams and to Mr. Stillman, that an original aa.i volun- tary proposition to lend the government this amount of gold had been made by the Deutsche bank through Mr. Aadms, to whom the bank had given power of attorneV
