WASHINGTON. Oct. 25. When the
monetary commlsalon reconvenes on
Nov. S It will be ready to begin the
preparation of Ita currency meaaure and
the report that. will accompany It. The
measure In Itself will not be one of
great length, and It la probable that the
report instead of attempting; to give
digest of all the suggestions and testi
mony before the commission will con
fine Itself to a clear statement of facts
and tcrst argument In support of the
measure agreed upon.
The people gen-rally have responded
Very freely to the Invltntlon of the com
mission to contribute their views, and
It has received In this wny a very fair
Index of public opinion upon the sub
ject In every section of the country.
The "crank" letters have boen very few.
The great mass of the suggestions has
come from men who have evidently
given much careful study and Intelli
gent thought to the currency question.
The niiwstlnns rnnre from every pos
sible phase of the subject, and almost
every writer has some suggestion to
make as to the place that silver should
hold In the currency of the country.
A number of men suggest the accept
ance of silver In unlimited quantities,
with the Issuance of certificates at mar
Vet rates fur the bullion, with redemp
tion of thee certlfrntes when presented
nt rollng market rates. Hut the plnlr
effect of this plan would be to make
the silver certificate nothing more or
less than a warehiust receipt, with th
Rovernment acting as the warehouse

TO KILL SHERIFF MARTIN.
riot That Aimed t netting Revenge Foi
the I.attlmer Tragedy.
Wir.KFSRAP. I?K, Pa.. Oct. 'jr.. The
fear that the friends of the strikers shot
down at Ijittlmer on Sept. lrt would
make some attempt to avenge their
dead comrades seems to be well found
ed. There Is now lodged m Jail a Hun
garian named John Sepnak, who Is said
to be one of 20 sworn to assassinate
Sheriff Martin. The attempt upon the
official's life would doubtless have been
made had not Sepnak become Intoxi
cated and talked too much.
Alhert Baer and Martin Mullen of Mill
Creek. w"here Sheriff Martin lives, were
walking from that town to Plains, when
they met Sepnak. He asked them where
Sheriff Martin lived and with an oath
declared that the sheriff had killed 20
of his friends nt Ijattlmer, and he was
going to blow him to sheol with dyna
mite. Sepnak Intoxicated and swore
horribly.
Sheriff Martin went to the Jail and
had a long talk with the fellow. What
Sepnak siild Is not known, as the sher
iff refused to make the Interview pub
lic. He said, however, that he learned
sufficient to convince him that an at
tempt upon his life was planned, and
the Information was such that he would
hive to keep It secret until he was able
t run down the rest of the band and
ii't them safe In Jail. He thought he
