Dan Stuart , who managed the PltzalmmonB-
Maher and Klbslmmons-Corbett bouts suc
cessfully , said today that ho would leave for
the west next week and hoped that ho wouM
secure the signatures of both Fltzolmmona
nnd Corbutt to articles of agreement for a
ring contest which bo propooes to bring off
next summer , probably In the state of
Nevada. Ho said that as matters stand now
he does not anticipate any trouble In getting
Corbett to nlsn and bo Ii equally hopeful ot
Raining HID consent of Kltzslmmons to meet
the big Callfornlan In the ring once more.
Just what the amount of the purao which ho
would offer would bo Mr. Stuart refused to
soy.
soy.Mr. . Stuart would like to have the contest
take place not earlier than ncxt July and
said that ho would lllco to arrange a meeting
between Kid .McCoy and Choynskl , or some
other good middleweight , to take place In
the same week as the Corbctt-Kltrolmmono
contest. If ho can succeed In making ar
rangements for both contents , Stuort said he
would offer excellent Inducements for the
winner of both these boutn to meet six
months later , so Hint In the event ot McCoy
rnd Fltzslmmons meeting they could .settle
the differences as to their respective prowesa
within the year 1S08.
Jlr. Stuart expects to bo In Chicago by
the latter end of next week nnd said It would
bo no fault of his If the big fellows did not
como to an agreement.

WASHINGTON , Dec , 29. ( Special. ) Mem
bers of congress will K ortly setnl la heir
consttturnclcs the usual quota ot seeds al
lowed by the government for distribution.
Instead ot scnJIng seeds that nrn of no earth
ly good. Secretary Wilson 'has ' decided to
circulate seeds that are rare And unusual ,
not raise * ! to any great extent In this coun
try. Ono of the now varieties of seeds to bo
given a trial Is botanlcally known ns "Vlsca
Vlllosa , " commonly called hairy VeteJi , Hns-
alnn vetch , or sand vetch , and Is considered
by authorities 'to ' < be the tocst soiling crop
that can bo raised. It possesses more nutri
tive value than any other forage plant and
can bo raised In almost any soil , Vlsoa. vll-
losa originally came from western 'Asia , but
owing to Its cxpunalvoncss nml that BO much
had to bo used In son Ing , It never came Into
popular use Until lately. This vlllosa Is gen
erally sowed nny time from the mldile of
April until the mlddlo ct May for summer
crop and from the middle of August lo Sep
tember for the winter crop. The yield of an
ncro sowe-d with vlllosa will run anywhere
trom a ton and a half tu four tons. It ts
stcitcd at the Department of Agriculture that
Vlsca vlllosa flourishes beat on the dry prai
rie. ' of iho west and along the Unit of .itux-
Ice , and Uiat sheep thrive tetter oa H than
on any other forage plant.
iHlnco the lasrago of the joint resolution
totting oaldo ? 12,500 additional for the gov
ernment building nt UnmLa next
year , the members of the gc -
ernment board have felt in anything < but a
filendly spirit toward the members of Iho
Nubraska delegation having the resolution
In charge , and do not hesitate to say that the
additional space thus provided will work , not
to the betterment , but to the detriment of
the government show.
Prof. F. tW. Clarke , the representative of
tbo interior department lor the Transinla-
slssippl exposition , speaking of the new turn
of affairs , uald : "Tho board docs not feel
that It can go ahead in the matter of arrang
ing exhlt'i : until congress hai taken seine
amendatory action We llnd now that
the appropriation for show purposes has been
decreased End that the lloor space has teen
Increased so that wo are compelled to wall
further nctloa of congress , which we hope
will bo taken after tbo holidays. As far aa
our own exhibit Is concerned , I will do all
la my piwer 'to ' make It a complete success. "
PLAN OF THE EXHIBIT.

useful trades taught In the many 'Indian
schools throughout the country. There will
also ibe 'marry maps exhibited by the general
land odlce.
The patent cfllce will as usual show models
of American Inventions. The models will oc
cupy se\eral largo show cases nnd will bo

fnlted States ( Minister Detuby , ot the recent
urlous decree Issued toy 'the ' emperor of
Jhlna to fend off the wrath of providence as
idlcatevl In the eclipse predicted for New
Dear's day. The document Is pronounced by
xperts to bo a masterful exhibition , of
yplc.il Chinese statesmanship , Inlov ot the
xlstlnc ; critical condition cf affairs In the

o\\s :
According to the Chun Chun ( spring nnd
utumn annals ) It hns been staled t'li.it an
cllpsc of the sun on the tlrst dny of the
par betokens tin Impending calamity.
Icnce the sovereign of every dynasty which
ins preceded ua has always mnde It a point
vhenover nn ccllpso of the sun Is prognostl-
atcd to undergo solf-aba&cmont nnd
nimble himself bjforo ( heaven In order to
vert the wrath from above.
In the case of our own Imperial dynnsty ,
or Instance , during the reigns of their
uijcatlea Knng1 Hal nnd Cblen Lung (1CB2- (
734) ) there weru observed two eclipses of the

ow , according to t'ho ' Board of Astronomy ,
ho llrst day of the fourteenth year oC our

ther eclipse of the sun.
Wo nro tilled with foreboding nt this
lows and hasten to seek within ourselves
or sins whlcli may have thus brought tbo
vrath of hlfrli heaven upon the land. We
urfhcr command that the ceremonies of
ougratulation , usually held on New Year's
ay In the Taiho tlirono bnll , be curtailed ,
xnd only ordinary obeisances bo mndi < , the
ibices being changed to the Cblcn Talng
hrone hall , Instead of the Tallvo throne
\nll. The b.xnquot usually given to tbo 1m-
lertal clansmen on Now Year's day must
ilso be stopped , .nnd When the eclipse oc
curs let all members of tbo court wear
ober carments and assemble In the Inner
nlaco before the altar sot up to heaven to

WASHINGTON1 , Dec. 29. Samuel Oorap-
ers , president of the American Federation of
Labor , has replied In nn open letter to Secretary
rotary Gage's recent letter taking exceptions
to the resolutlona passed by Fcdcratlem
with reference to the Qago financial bill.
Mr. Gompers saya In part :
You tnko exception both to the position
which our organization has tnken ii | > on your
bill , ns well as Uio languugo cmiiloycd.
Even If you are justified In the one , you
certainly misapprehend the other. 1 sub
mit that you will seek In vain for n single
denunciatory word , cither In regard to your
motives .your iilnn , or your bill. Wo say
also that denunciation Is not argument ,
but to declare our po ltlon nnd the state
ment of a fact In regard to a most lmi > or-
tnnt and farreachingmeasure , affecting
the changing of the financial system of our
country , can by no means bo construed ns
denunciation.
Those resolutions declare against your
plan for more thoroufi'nly ' commuting our
country to the gold standard , a plan for
destroying our greenback currency and mil > -
stltutlnR banknotes , , a plan In fact for weak
ening the control of the national govern
ment over that most Important of all meas
ures , the measure of values , and strength
ening the banks , a plan , aiming at what
you call "currency reform , " nnd which wo
call "blank monopoly. "
That you should take offense at these
resolution I regret , for the. right to express
disapproval of the acts of their sen-ants
la ono of the rights held sacred by Che
American people , and ono you will freely
accord.Vo ilo not ohnrgo you with "Ig
norance , relative or absolute , " or allege any
"evil purpose" or n "perversity of motive1 *
on your part , aa Implied In your letter ,
nor upon rereading the resolutlona will
you llnd them either condemnatory or de
nunciatory , as you say they arc. The res
olutions nro declaratory of the vlc.i\s of
the American Federation of Labor , nnd are
entirely Impersonal , for of all mon In public
life AVO have the greatest respect for your
l probity and Integrity. i
I OPPOSED TO GAGE'S PLAN.
TIO : woigj earners of America , repre
sented In the American Federation of
Labor , bellovo that the position tnken In
cgard to the retirement of the greenbacks
s antagonistic to their Intel ests , nnd they
are opposed to your plan for 7noro thor
oughly committing tbla country of ours to
tbo gold standard.
You ask what evils have resulted from
our adherence to the RoUl standard. I an
swer that the evils nro those that have
trown and ever must grow from a dls-
lonest measure of values , a measure of
values that Interferes with the just distri
bution of wealth ; that deprives some men
of v part of their earnings that is rightly
theirs , , and confers It upon othcra who nave
earned It not. Any measure of Values that
thus forces nn unjust distribution of the
products of labor , that deprives the pro
ducer of the fruits of bis toll , cuts down
wages nnd profits , thereby destroys the In
centive to enterprise , lends to Industrial
stagnation , forced In Idleness , distress and
public suffering.
The products of labor are divided Into
: hrco Bcneial shares. Ono share goes ns
merest and re-nts to the money lender and
landlord , to capitalists who do not produc
tively use their own capital who peek to
avoid tbp risks of production. A. second
sharq goeii as wages to wage earners. The
Interest charges nnd rent are to a great
degree fixed , anil proflts and wages are sub-
lect to great fluctuations * . This being so , It
s clear that anything that reduces the total
money value of the products of labor must
increase tbo share ot the money lender and
creditor , though nominally fixed , nnd de
crease the. share to bo divided amoiiK1 em
ployer nnd 'iVsiKO ' earners. It Is equally
clear that to Increase the. value of money
must decrease' the value of the products ot
labor , and therefore enrich the creditor nt
the expense of the debtor.
GOLD STANDARD AN INJURY.
Now , If our adherence to the gold stand
ard has caused money to gro/v dearer , you
must admit that the gold standard has done
Injury to our people , brought distress to
wage cnrncrq and employers , anil discour
aged enterprise. Our adherence to the gold
standard has caused money to grow In
value , nnd , of course- , forced the things
measured In money to fall In price.
However , It is not alone to the ! chcaenlng
of tbo labor cost of production , but also to
nn actual appreciation of gold thnt the fall
In 'prices slncu 1S72 has been In great part
due. And this appreciation lias grown out
of the demonetization of sliver , whlcli has
increased the. demands for gold. This Is a
question that every producer can answer.
Has the fall In 'prices ' * curtailed my earn
ings ? If tbo fall In the prices has been
duo only to general Improved methods of
production , a lessening in the true cost of
production , lie has suffered no loss from
Kucli fall. Moreover , tbo fall In prices since
1(9.1. common to nil ffold-uslnir countrlns a
fall In prices * of 20 per cent has not grown
out of Improvement In machinery exclu
sively ; that the labor cost of production hns
not been Increased by one-IJfth In thesu
past years , and that therefore the cause of
this fall In , prices .must Ilo In ivthat , if not
In dearer money , and was due primarily to
an appreciation In sold.
Chnngea In the value of money have
largely Influenced the movements of prices
during- the last half century , onilHero great
factors In the prlco movements during one
long period. During the quarter of a cen
tury following1 the. gold discoveries In Cali
fornia thpro was much progress * In the line
of Invention , much Introducing1 of laborsaving -
saving- machinery , much cheapening In the
labor cost of production. This , on your
theory , xhould have caused steady fnll In
prices. Hut what happened ? The outpour-
Inga ot cold cheapened gold to a greater
degree than comir.odltlea were cheapened
and the result was that prices wcro In
Btneral 23 per cent higher at tbo end of
tl.lo period than at the beginning. Thun
what happened ? Wo , along with many
other nations' , clo ed our mints to silver.
Wo IncpDnsed the demand for goldislth the
result that gold went up In vnluo nnd
pi Ices of commodities down. You must
nb.mdon the advocacy of gold monometal
lism , unless you cun show that the de
monetization of silver nnd the doubling of
tbo demand for sold resultant therefrom ,
has not caused gold to grow dearer and
prices lower , to the ( treat Injury of all
producers ot wealth. You should nt least
show tb.it the perpetuation of the Bold
standard will not result In making- money
dearer and human lle.fh cheaper.
And now Just ono word ns to the second
resolution to which you tnka exception.
This resolution declares , nnd you admit It ,
thnt the purpose * of your currency bill late
to cause the retirement of our national
greonbncta currency and nil government
iapor money nnd the substitution of bank
notep. This you hold to bs deslrublo. Why ?
Would it not Rlvo tbo banks the power to
regulate our foreign exchanges , t'ho ' power
: o check gold exports by contraction , and
jy screwing down nccommodatlon to mer
chants BO as to force thorn to throw their
products on the market nt prices nt which
our foreign creditors would rather take
such products than our gold ? Would It not
thus relieve the treasury of the burden of
iroviUInt , ' for gold redemptions ) , nnd mnko
. ho 'banks ' supreme ? This wo hold to bo
umle&lrablc. It would mnko the banks
punrdlan ever our volume of money nnd
ao of our measure of values : It would en
able the banks working In the Interest of
the speculators to cause movements In
prices with great certnlnty , enable- them to
depress prices by contracting the currency
nnd raise prices by expanding the same. It
would mnko the banks t'lio ' mastcm nnd
man the stave , and would enrich the few-
and Impoverish the multitude.
In the statement you recently mnde before -
fore the bouso committee on banking nnd
currency In support of your bill you say ,
nnd repeat this truism , "thnt the less the
government owes tbo less It will have to
pav. " Yet your plnn Involves the proposi
tion of the retirement of our natlonnl paper
currency iirnl nreenbnoks upon which wo
i > ay no Interest nt nil , and the Issuance ot
bonds In Its stond In the sum ot $200.000,000 ,
which wo shall owe , nnd upon u'hloh wo
ehiill bo required to pay Interest , Tbo In
consistency of your statement ! nnd your
plan Hoema glaring !
Wo oppouo your currency bill because , ns
has been well said , "It Is n bill to provldo
for the abdication of the roverlim powers
of Dm government to the banks , for
streiiBWicnlnji the hands of the speculative
cliques , cnrlo'hinjr tbo few nnd Impoverish

WASHINGTON , Dec. 29. Assistant Secre-
nry Mclklojohn today- presented Mr. Clifford
5lfon ( , the Canadian minister of the Interior ,
o thrt president. Mr. McKlnlcy greeted Mr ,
Slflcci with cordiality , but did not discuss
with him la any imcmer the objects of bis
vlalt.
vlalt.Later
Later Mr. Slfton took luncheon nt the
British embassy After the luncheon , ac
companied by Mr. Molklcjohn , ho called upon
Utorney Gtaera * McKontu. and Secretary ot
the Treasury Gage. The vlelts wee nlmplj
out of courtesy , but In the course of Mr ,
Jlttoa's vtvlt to both these cabinet ofllcors
ho question of getting supplies Into the
Klondike was dlsciused , *
Mr. Slfton , In n general way , expressed
the opinion that the CaniuUm government
would be glad to render nny Aid In Ita power
o this government In getting1 a relief ex-
icdttlon Into the Klondike , but expressed
ho opinion to iVcsldent McKlnloy and Sec
retary dago thnt there wiw not likely to bo
great suffering among- the miners In the
vicinity of DawEon City for lack of food.
Phis opinion ho expressed on the Informs *
tlon In the possession of the Cmadlan gov
ernment. Ho did think , however , that there
might bo severe suffering on. account of the
excessive cold , ns a Mrgo proportion ot those
vho rushotl Into the mining region last sum
mer were unaccllmatc-d.
Moreover , Mr. Slfton Is not sangulno that
a relief expedition , such ns this government
contemplates , could got through. The Cana-
lian government , with all IJio facilities In
ts possession , lias not yet been able to- got
In twonty-flvo tons of provisions , dispatched
some time ago. Ho pictured In a gloomy
way the Immense dllllcultlcs In driving
reindeer ithrough the narrow dofllcs and
passes over the Bimw niid Ico.
Mr. Slfton , In his talk with Secretary
l.ago , also referred ( briefly to the question
of duties on miner's supplies , but nothing
elgnlllcant wn.i said on either eldc , to far
as could "bo " learned.
Mr. Slfton cxpeoicd to have a conference
with Secretary of War Algcr thla afternoon ,
jut was unable lo do eo on account of the
atter's physical condition. It Is barely pos
sible , though not probable , that General
Algcr will bo able to have the conference
tomorrow forenoon. Otherwise Mr. Slfton
and Assistant Secretary of War Mdklcjohn
will have a conference on the situation to
morrow afternoon. This , however , has not
Jei-n finally settled. If Secretary Dllsvj re
turns In tlmo tomorrow , three will also bo
a conference between him and the Canadian
minister. The latter Is also expected to
discuss the question further with Secretary
Gage.
Sir. Slfton contemplated leaving here for
Ottawa tomorrow , but tonight stated ho ex
pected to remain until Saturday. Ho has
been through the passes In tbo Alaakan
country , though not In the winter season ,
and ho says ho docs not think the snowfall
would level up the passes for the transporta
tion purpcscs that have been suggested.
Mounted police of thq Canadian government
have been taking In relief supplies via Skng-
way , It has been stated In the course of the
conferences on the subject , nnd they nro
building caches for prebcrvatlon of the goods
about seventy-five or 100 miles apart.
R S. Roscnfeld , general manager of the
company controlling the newly devised snow
and Ice engines .today submitted a proposi
tion to the secretary of war for the trans
portation of 150 tons of government supplies
from the head of Lynn canal to Dawson
City at 5 cents per pound of weight. All
arms , accoutrements nnd rations of tUo army
detachment , not exceeding fifty tons , nro-to
bo carried free both ways. The scheme con
templates sending tbo trains over ono of
these three routes ; The Dalton route from
Halnes Mission , the Chllkoot route from
Tnlya , or the White Pass from Skngway.
Sir Julian Pauncefote , the Diitlsh ambas
sador , sent nn oindul communication today
to the secretary of state , announcing thut
the British government will permit the de
tachment ot the United States army accom
panying the government relief expedition to
cress Ill-Utah territory In making the trip.
The detachment will be accompanied by n
representative of the Canadian government
