lalaiMslifMul agrssasent for
Ham" and by its prorisioBS do aot re
qaire ooBlnaatioB by the aaaate. It
has been generally conceded that
ator Wolcott would be nude a
of the commission. His trip to
last fall was generally oooosded to ha
at least semi-officiaL His tour extended
over several months and eailasoeJ the
leading Earopeaa capitals. He had
aadieaoe with the more aoted finaadsrs
and ministers and it is beKered then
laid the foundation for theiateraafeoaal
coaf erenoe, which the cowimiesioa will
endsaror to bring to a oobcIbbVob.
Seaator Wolcott is now serriag his
second term in the senate, hariag been
elected to that body in 1885. While a
pronounced bimetsllist, he was a staunch
aapporterof the St Loais ticket.
Ex-Yioe Resident Steveasoa, the
Deaocretio member of the ooaunissioB,
though generally known as aa advocate
of bimetallism was a staunch supporter
of Mr. Bryan aad the Chicago platform.
He and Senator Woloott, however, are
said to be in aocord on the money qaes
turn.
General Charles J. Payae, who may
be termed the minority aasmber, is a
Bspublioan and was a MoKinley man.
While he is classed as a supporter of
bimetallism, based on international
agreement, he is regarded as allied with
the sound money faction. General
Payne is largely identified with rail
roads and other corporations, being a
director of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad.
It is a fact not generally known that
General Payne accompanied Senator
Wolcott on his European trip last fall
and assist-d him in that work. It is
believed that he went abroad with Sen
ator Wolcott with the understanding
that he waa to be made a member of the
commission.
It is not known yet when the commis
sioners will meet and organise. When
an organization is effected, however, it
ia believed that Senator Wolcott will be
made president. It is authoritatively
stated that the com mission will not go
abroad before May 1, by which time the
new ambassadors will be at their posts
and render the special envoys the assist
ance necessary in the ow"nw.Mn of
their mission.

Washington. April l.. The senate
aet at noon f or the first time since the
death of ex-Senator Voorhees, who, un-
S recently, was a conspicuous member
the body. The opening prayer of
Ber. Dr. Milburn made eloquent refer
ence to Mr. Voorhees' brilliant talents,
impassioned ardor, hiadling eloquenoe,
genuine patriotism, aad the unselfish
dedication of his great powers to every
cause, human and dirine, which en
listed his career. Dirine consolation
was invoked for the family of the man
who had inscribed his aaase on the tab
lets which perpetuate the great orators
aad statesmen of his generation. Imme
diately following the prayer Mr. Gor
man moved that as a mark of respect to
their late associate the aaaate adjourn,
adding that many senators desired to at
tend the funeral. The motion prevailed,
aad at 12:05 p. m. the senate adjourned.

The case involves the question of royal

the case back to. the circuit oourt for

Washihotox, April i .. The funeral
trices over the rein.mis of the lata

WEAK SPOTSJNTHE LEVEES.
Crest of the Flood Ware Ia Xearlag New
Orleans.
New Orleans, April IS. Each day
now adds a few inches to the river's
height and the long expected crest of
the flood wave is on the move. It ought
to reach here in a few days. In the
meantime the anxiety is increasing all
along the line, for more weak spots are
developing. From north Louisiana
comes the news that the Biggs levee, be
low Vicksburgf sustained a terrific at
tack and nearly succumbed, but relief
was prompt. Just above New Orleans
comes the news of three weak spots al
most in a row, one in St. Charles par
ish and the other two at Hanson's City
aad Camp Parapet. A break of either
of the latter two points would involve
considerable Illinois Central property
and send the water knocking at the
door of New Orleans.
Biyaa Addressee Law Stsdeats.
Washington, April 13. At the invi
tation of the law class of Columbian
university Mr. Bryan delivered an ad
dress to the students and a large num
ber of invited visitors. His general
theme was good government and the
equality of people before the law. Mr.
Bryan was introduced by Justice Har
lan of the supreme court and Justice
Brewer occupied a seat cm the platform.
The lecturer was given a warm wel
come. Later Mr. Bryan was given a
reception by the Virginia Democratic
association at the Metropolitan hotel.
McNeil Scores a Polat.
Tofeka, April 13. W. B. McNall,
state insurance commissioner, secured
the first legal victory today in his battle
with the three big eastern life in9ar
ance companies, to which he refused a
license on the allegation that they would
not pay the famous Hillmon claims.
Judge Foster of the United States cir
cuit court holds that McNall's action i
not punishable by penalty for contempt,
and dismissed the case brought by the
insurance companies.
Bryaa Still Feels Effects off His Accldeat.
Washington, April 13. William J.
Bryan returned to Washington today
from Florida. He is still suffering as a
result of the accident at St. Augustine,
and is considerably bruised. His worst
injury ia on his left side, which pains
him greatly when moving about. The
force of the fall can be judged from the
fact that a silver match safe, which Mr.
Bryan carried in his vest pocket, was
crushed completely out of shape by the
accident.

INVESTIGATE BRIBERY CHARGES.
Koatacky Graad Jury Is Oolay lata tho
Matter Deeply.
Fbaickfort, Ey., April 18. The local
grand jury is going deeply into the
bribery charges against Hunter and his
lieutenants. Not only were the nomi
nee and Mr. Franks and ex-Congressman
Wilson before the body yesterday,
but late last evening a half doaea sen
ators and members, including all
those who contend that Dr. Hunter
was in his room on the night of
April 8, woe summoned and ex
amined. Later Captain Gaines, who
swears that Dr. Hunter came to his
house on the night mentioned, was re
called and afterward his wife went into
the jury room. A part of Hunter's tes
timony was a reiteration of his public
statement that he had never seen Gaines
and never waa in his home in his life.
The jury adjourned for the day with
oat bringing indictments or report. It
is reported that the investigation will
take area a wider scope at today's
eession Meanwhile, the harm, if aay,
done Hunter by these charges, aad their
pablicity are in a measure discounted
by a break between the Blackburn Dem
ocrats and the gold Democrats. The
latter have been assisting in breakiaga
quorum because of the imntiaeat chance
of Hunter's election. They say that
they will do so no longer, because the
Blackburn Democrats won't help or
agree to try to help elect Msrtia or aay
other compromise candidate, aad be
cause they are pledged to soma kind of
aa election, which will be impossible so
long as quorums are preveatod.

Dr. Marks refused to give the bub's

Chicago, April is. L. M. Dillman,
manager of the American Book com
pany, denies the truth of the testimony
aaid to have been given by Speaker
Street at Topeka. He said: "There is
not a single word of truth in the state
ment purported to oome from Speaker
Street reflecting on Harry G. Wilson.
Mr. Wilson never had but one conversa
tion with Speaker Street and this was
when he called on him at his room in
Topeka. Of course they talked over
school book legislation, but no reference
either directly or indirectly, was made
to him about money or in any way to
influence him, except to show him that
the bill before the legislature was not in
the interests of the people and would,
therefore, not only injure them, but al
publishing interests, and even this con
versation would not hare taken place if
Mr. Street had not called on Mr. Wil
son. You can my in the most emphatic
manner that both Mr. Wilson and our
selves deny in toto every single word of
what is purported to be the statement
by Speaker Street, and we are loath to
believe that he ever made such a state
ment."

PRACTICING LAW.
Jaigo Says It Is Aksolately Dwell
"There's no more fun in the practice
of law," observed the judge as he soft

"I read in my old home paper yester
day that Bill Traynor was dead. There
waa a character. Did I ever tell yon the
story about him?
"Bill once sat on a jury in one of my
flat caees. It wsa an assault and bat
toy case. The trouble came up over the
attempt to build a fence across a high
way. There were two defendants and
four prosecuting witnesses. The trial
was held at the home of the justice of
the peace, a clapboard little hoase right
out in a cornfield. We couldn't And 18
men in the township, so we agreed to a
jury of six. The justice's wife stood ia

"They didn't make any case against
aa my partner and I appeared for the
defense but we knew the juryaea
wasted their fees; and they wouldn't
get aay if the def endaata woa. So we
were not very hopeful.
"The six jurymen went out into the
cornfield to deliberate. Tbey were goae
about two hours and then brought in a
rerdict of guilty and fined each of the
defendants 95 and coats. The jury was
about to be discharged when my partner
jumped up and mid to one of the jury

foreman spoke up aad said: 'That's all
right Bill Traynor couldn't wait He
went off home, and wa got Jos here to
take his place. '
"That's a faot Bill had patina

all right anyway, so long as there wsa
a majority of the jury present, but I

verdict and discharged our clients.
