THESILVER QUESTION
t
THINK THE PROSPECTS FOR REFORM
OF THE CURRENCY GOOD.
Koine Democrat Would Help t'li.iime
the Hale to tlrnr Hip Vny for a
Monetary mil Which They Wimld
Kot Directly Favor.
Washington, Nov. 10. Notwithstand
ing the apparent Impossibility that any
financial legislation should get through
Congress, some of the best Informed
Democrats and silver men Insist In
private that there will be a determined
fight over the question, and that the
outcome Is uncertain. They exhibit
considerable alarm and declare that
there Is no doubt that desperate ex
pedients will be adopted to get through
the Senate the measure that will bo
passed by the House on the revom
mendation of the President. TT5ey say
that the fight will start In the Senate
on a proposition to adopt cloture, al
most as soon as Congress meets, and
that there are some Senators who will
vote to amend the Senate rules who
could not Justify themselves before
their constituents If they voted direct
ly to pass a currency-reform measure.
Tet, If cloture is adopted, they believe
that it may be possible to pass a cur
rency measure which would be disas
t us to the silver party.
'.'he Republicans say nothing of such
a plnn, and on the surface It does not
sem possible of accomplishment, but
there Is no doubt that those who op
pa currency legislation are extreme
ly anxious, and are preparing for a
d'. iperate struggle, which they say
tr y last throughout the entire session.
"'he Republicans have forty-thre
laUirx, and there being a vacancy,
f ty-flve Is a majority. The Demo
crats have thirty-four Senators, and
there are twelve Poupllsts and Inde
pendents. Two Democrats, Lindsay
aud Gray, are likely to vote for a re
t m of the currency, If they have an
opportunity, though they probably
would not dare vote for cloture. If
they did, it would pass the monetary
bill. Now, If some of those who would
vote for a currency measure should
vote for cloture, it would open the way
for those who would vote for currency
reform. It is not certain how Senator
J. P. Jones or Senator Kyle would vote
on the cloture proposition, but it Is
thought likely that Kyle would vote
for it, and it is not improbable that
Senator Jones would do the same.
It is impossible to get Republican
authority for an assertion that this
plan is in contemplation, but there is
no question about the Democrats be
lieving It and being anxious about it.
THE SEALING CONFERENCE.
It Will Commence To-Morrow and
Will Be on a Broad Scope.
Washington, Nov. 10. Gen. Foster
and Sir Julian Pauncefort conferred
yesterday as to the arrangements for
the meeting of British, Canadian and
American representatives relative to
Behrlng Sea. A general understanding
vrns reached that the arrival of Sir
Wilfred Laurler, the Canadian Pre
mier, and party, would permit the
meeting to open to-morrow, as to-day
la likely to be given to an exchange of
views between the Canadians and Brit
ish. The British Ambassador accom
panied the Premier to the White
House this morning and introduced
him to the President. This was a call
of courtesy, however, and it was not
expected that any of the pending ques
tions would be referred to. The British
Embassy has extended an invitation
to Sir Wilfrid to be a guest during his
stay here, but he has determined to re
main with the other Canadian repre
sentatives at the . Shoreham, where
quarters have been engaged.
It is now definitely settled that the
coming meeting will take a much
torofider scope than was first antici
pated. At the outset there will be a
comparison of notes between the seal
experts, Mr. Hamlin for the United
States, Prof. Thompson for Great
Britain, and Prof. Macoun for Canada.
The Canadian Premier and Sir Louis
Davles, Sir Julian Pauncefote and Gen.
Foster will be present in an unofficial
capacity, ready to take up the larger
phases of the question when the seal
experts have concluded their exchange
at technical Information.
' WILL USE CHINESE AS MINERS.
An Announcement Which Cauaed In
tense Excitement In Illlnola.
Streator, III., Nov. 10. The an
nouncement that Chinamen would be
placed In the mlnea of the Northern Il
linois coal field has caused an Immense
excitement here, and a call has been
Issued for a full convention of the dis
trict to be held this afternoon in this
city. Every shaft will send delegates,
and In the meantime the various or
ganizations will get together ar.d take
action. '
It is understood that to-day's meet
ing will be of tremendous Importance
to the craft throughout the State, as it
Is claimed that if Chinamen are allow
ed to go to work here and elsewhere It
will only be a matter of time when
mines employing that kind of labor
will be able to undersell those employ
ing skilled hands and thus the price
will be forced down. The situation
here Is looked upon by business men
as most serious. The Chinese question
haa put an entirely new phaso upon it.
It means to Streator alone the dis
placement of about three thousand
men.
REMOVALS BY COLLECTORS.
Jmlae Jackson's Decision to Tie Ap
pealed from by the Treasury.
Washington, Nov. 10. The decision
of Judge Jackson, In the Federal Court
for West Virginia, that deputy collet
tors of Internal revenue, such as gauff
ers, storekeeper and the like, may not
be removed except for cause, was the
Jul Joct of an earnest conference at the
Treasury Department yesterday. Col
lector White, against whom the de
cision was directed, came over to
Washington Monday night and passed
some time with Secretary Gage and
Assistant Secretary Vanderllp discuss
ing the situation.
Treasury officials do not like the do.
cislon, but their course of action, when
the department closed yesterday, had
not been decided upon. An appeal
from the decision will be taken, but no
nne would authorize the publication of
that fact as the determination of the
Secretary.
It developed during the day that Attorney-General
McKenna would not
decide the question asked by Secretary
Gage as to the power of the Collectors
to remove deputies or other appointees
in order to make places for men of
thi'ir own selection. This determina
tion, it would seem, was reached be
fore Judge Jackson's decision was
known here, but no explanation of It
was vouchsafed. The matter hos been
before the Attorney-General for some
weeks, and It has been reported that
Assistant Attorney-General Boyd had
prepared an opinion that under the
ivll Service law collectors had the
right to make the changes. This de
cision has been before the Attorney
CJeneral for his approval or disap
proval a month or more.
CHINA AND GOLD.
Xetv Depnrtnre In Her f'nrreney Not
l.lkcly to Prove I'rnot ienl.
London, Nov. 10. According to a
pecial dispatch from Shanghai, the
Emperor of China and the Hoard of
Revenue have approved a memorial
presented In favor of establishing a
Id standard and prohibiting the ex-
port of gold.
It Is doubtful, however, whether this
will have any practical result.
fntil 1SS9 China had no coinage of Its
nwn e::cept brass "cash," small' discs
with sciuare holes through them, and
f which 1.330 are estimated to be
worth a tael.
In 1V0 China opend her mint, and
ins coined since many millions in til
ivr. The standard of the country is
silver, the Mexican dollar being largely

Boiler Blown 2,000 Feet.
Sharon, Pa., Nov. 9. A boiler explo
sion occurred at Stoneboro yesterday
while the miners of the Mercer Iron
nd Coal Company were in the boiler
house eating lunch. ' David Love, en
gineer, was killed Instantly. John
lackson, Joseph Dowers and Albert
laxthelmer were hurt mortally. Two
ther men were hurt severely. No rea
son is given for the explosion. The
boiler had been Inspected but a short
time before and was found to be In
rood condition. It was blown over two
thousand feet, and the boiler house
was torn to atoms.
Fire Little Plea Sold for ai.lSO.
Fairfield, la., Nov. 10. That the
prices of live stock are rapidly increas
ing in Iowa is shown by the records of
iome Poland China pig sales recently.
E. M. Metzgar sold one pig to S. E.
Shellenberger, of Camden, O., for $683.
A. litter of five pigs, born In February
last, brought $1,150. In all forty-one
pigs were sold, netting $3,900.
As correspondent of the Phila
delphia Record from this town I desire
to make a correction of the article
which appeared in last week's issue of
the Columbian in reference to the
election returns published in the
Record ot Nov. 3, and which were
incorrect. For some reason the re
turns sent from here, and which were
correct, were not published, and the
article dated Bloomsburg, was not
wired from here, but was a telephoned
report, having its origin at Wilkes-
Barre. Harry M. Fine.
A large barn on the Adam Hum
mel farm in Fishingcreek township,
together with all its contents, consist
ing of grain, hay, straw and some live
stock was totally destroyed by fire on
Monday night. We have not been
able to ascertain the cause of the fire.
The loss will probably amount to
about $3,500.
Adiutant'fceneral Stewart issued
orders last week to 1,500 Penn
sylvania soldiers for free transporta
tion to Chattanooga and return, to
attend the dedication, on November
15, of the Pennsylvania monuments
on the Chtchamagua battlefield.
The Right Rev. Dr. Ethelbert Tal
