holiilavs Bimetalllsts will also welcome him
anti eagerly exchange view? with him. The
-uestions which bankers will ask are these:
Vh.it la the rat!., between gold and silver which
-ou have to propose tentatively on your own
.',>,. ? or sympathetically on the part of Mr.
McKinley What have you to offer England In
. tho abandonment or compromise of
?jj,e pr'neiple of the f-ingle gold standard?
T '? flrat quaatkMl must bo definitely answered
or there will be slight chance for rci.pei.lng ne
tlopa fO* ? nf",v monetary confer* nre with
,*-,,, r -nsent ot Hnpand. The second Question In
X?a opinion Of mtortm English bankers cannot
be answered satisfactorily. Thc financial situa?
tion howtrer, ll favorable in ono respect for
?rtnotlng ?*? o\i*c'.a of Senator Wolcott's mis
llan. Tne <xport of gold from England to India,
.->-. n hftf- boon foraensl by shrewd observers Cor
s?ver*\l we.-ka. has b"gun. The amount of gold
ahlppad is rot yet large, but with the continu?
ance of the non-tary stringency in India, and
jichang" .c i high that gold tau ba pr.-fl'.
ably exported In payment for merchandise, it 16
*,, .bable that the movement will receive addi?
tional impulse, and will list for several month**.
Th*.' maintenance of a high discount rate by the
Hank of England under the existing condition of
the money n-.aiket, and Ito Immense bank re?
serves. rann.it be explained on any other ground
than that of apprehension of a large export eif
pi.!.! early in the-* year to India, where tho famine
has eaus?d a great demand for currency, haa put
up the rates of exchange, and is sending out of
the our tv every surplus crop which car. be
apared. That the reopening of the Indian mints
would be of groat assistance in the preset,:
crisis, many practical financiers frankly admit.
f r this reason Penate-t Wolcott's visit is wei!
timed.
1 lanra OH excellent authoritv that th?*re
have been ooma Informal conferenoes between
the financial authorities of the British Govern?
ment and the officials of the Bank of England
and ether prominent bankers, and that three
concessions on the silver question have beea
suggested as possible In any conferences with
??nntor Wolcott or any negotiations with th.
American Government. These are: First, th*
*-?..?? ly reopening of the Indian mints for the
coinage of silver; second, the olnag-* outright of
?.-,.000,fKiO worth of silver In England; third,
,;n inors sss. at siiv?r de*., -site tn the Rank of
tngland to the extent of 2T> per cent nf th?
narra. These three concessions have certainly
af-n discussed quietly, although neither thc
P.ank of England nor the Government ls com?
mitted in any way to a formal offer either to
Senator Wolcott or to any representative of ths
American Government. They probably repre?
sent the limit to whlrh England will go in silver
negotiations with America. International bi?
metallism ls hardly within the range of possi?
bilities. So far om England is concerned, an
international conference ls clearly impracticable
unless a definite basis of action ls proposed In
the fe rm of a now ratio between gold and oli?
ver. The conditions of Indian finance, how?
ever, mnke lt possible for concessions like those
previously mentioned to b? obtained for the
sak" ot reopening the Indian mints and easing
the situation there. I. N. F.

St. Paul, Jan. 5.?The greatest snow and wind
storm since the settlement of thnt part of South
Dakota round about Huron abated this morning.
It was of fifty hours' duration. Two feet of snow
fell, and lt is pllexl in immense drifts so solid
that several days will elapse before the streets
are passable.
Snowploughs and gangs of shovellers were sent
south, north and west this morning by the Chloigo

There Is a Scriptural tex; aboui "chastening at the
time" ge -.ming "to be- grievous" which the Rev. Dr.
Daniel C. Potter, pastor of the Tabernacle Maptist
t'ii'irch must realize* at present as a profound truth.
Ile ls being chastened lust now by the New-York
(';.>? Baptlat Mission Society as the result of a little
trouble over a mortgage foreclosure nn the Taber?
nacle Cnurch property, anil the date of his relief is
a matter of conjecture. Dr. Potter, is In fact, a
vlrttinl prisoner in his own domain, as he wou'd put
it. but In somel ody else's, according to the Mission
Society. At all events, he is living strictly at home,
although not at home to callers, and while he has
the privilege of roaming the wide world outside, he
ha* good rea?on to believe tint he would flnel it hard
work to return, If he should once get beyond his
doorstep.
The Mlaalhn Society controls a m.rtgag.'* on the
church building and church house, in which the pas
tor lives. It foreclosed it some lime ago. and ls now
making efforts to oust its unprofitable tenant. But
Dr. Potter thinks there's no place like home, and ia
furthermore imbueel with a sense of his right to stay
there. So he stay*. A young man with a purpose
also stays, just outside his door, and is prepareil to
lock it and carry off the key if ever the clergyman
dares to sally forth. This unpleasant monitor ls re?
lieved by a confederate at an appolnteJ time, *o
that tlie pastor canno; elude tho eye of vigilance, hy
night or day.
This unfortunate state of things ls not all that
the Hov. Dr. Potter has to bear with. He ls short?
ly to be examined In supplementary proceeding., to
show cause for not paying a certain annoying bill,
and has had to refuse a call, to appear at court,
because of his audden attack of homesickness. It
is caf*- to say af present, "he never cares to wan?
der from his own fireside."
A Trlbun*- reporte-r hailed the guardian of the
Tabernacle parsonage laat nlghr. and asked for
admission. Th. guardian who wore, .Uko Cassius,
n lean and hungry look, bur an air of unmistakable
decision, re-plied: "Doro don't nobody ge! In here
now."
"Can't Dr. Potter even see his e-aller.--, or the
grocer's or butcher's boy?" was tho ne-xr question.
"Me don't see nobody, and If he comes out he
don't get back til! ho gives his wold he'll lake bia
furniture and ge? out, ' was fie uncompromising
answer,
"Weil, how long are yoi: going to keep this up?"
was asked.
"As long as dey pay me. Dat ls wot I'm here for,"
was ihe terse ano j.radical reply
The reporter abandonee! the nttempt to enter the
house-, and turned away, .lust then a window in
an unlitfhteel aecond-story room went up, and the
indistinct form of ihe pastor appeared.
"HelloI Dr. Potter!" called the reporter, "are
you comfortably fixed up there?"
"Very.'' was the reidy.
"Got enough to eat?"
"Plenty,"Kaid the clergyman; "proilslons enough
to laat for a wee k."
"Mow long do you expect to stay In ther.-V
"1'ntil 1 gel out." came the answer In n ton.' e.f
sublime resignation, nnd soon afterward the win
elow shut down.

Cleveland. Jan. fi.?Major McKinley Ands it
necessary to go to Canton early In the morn?
ing to attend to some private business and to
meet some callers who are ooming from a dis?
tance to soo him. Tho visitor whose presence
In Canton to-morrow will arouse most Interest
will he Senator W. B. Allison, of Iowa. Sena?
tor Allison is on his way to Waihlngton. He
has been detained by illness at his home, and
has not boon at the Capitol during the present
session of Congress. He will be in Canton
about four hours to-morn>w and will doubtless
spend thc whole of that time with thc President?
elect. Major McKinley has tho Mgbttt possi?
ble opinion of Mr. Allison. He considers him
one of the foremost men of the Nation, and In
every way desirable for the Cabinet. He thinks
his knowledge of finance ls not excelled by that
of any other man In public life, and has reason
to know that most thoughtful people share this
opinion.
The meeting between the President-elect and
tho distinguished Sonetor who has twice decided
that he could not give up his Congressional ra
reor to accept a conspicuous plae*e In the Cabi?
net will be what ls terrr.fd a "historic" one.
Senator Allison's oharaetor ls se) high, his ability
so groat nnel his fitness sei eminent and Ap?
parent, and Major MeKinley's desire te> socur- I
men of hi*, type for the Cabinet ls so well |
known, that the outcome of the Cantein con?
ference will he awaited with legitimate curi?
osity and Interest by a largo number of people.
It does not follow, however that a ellreet
tender of a portfei'lo will bo made to the Sena?
tor. A proeeedlng so formal WOttM be unne.-es
sary, an.] of no avail unless lt w^re kn.nvn that
Mr. Allisem would accept lt, or, at least, tak*>
thc offer under serious advisement. The proba?
bilities aro thnt Mr. Allison will come to Can?
ton with his conn, of action pretty ckarly de?
fined Ile haa had ample tim* tei consider the
case In all of its tiearlngs. nnd many of his
friends have discuss?d lt with hitit, though lt is
not known that he has really reae heel a final
COnclualon. Tho feeling obtains, however, thit
Mr. Allis, n is not Inclined to relinquish the
MAI ;n the Senate to whie-h ho has been elecfe-1
f.-r six years beginning em Mared* 4 next, for
tho millions work nf a Cabinet officer.
This apparent reflection of Senator Allison's
at tit url*, toward a Cabinet pine, ls largely a mat?
ter of inference, ami tho Inference may he a
mistaken one*. Th-' assumption that the Presi?
dent-elect desire. Benator Allison to accept ihe
peirtfollo of State rather than thnt of the Treas?
ury ls also a mai ut eif surmise, lt |g likely that
Major McKinley would bo plad to have Senate.r
Allison e-nter the Cabinet in either capacity, and
the snm*- la doubt less true of his attitude toward
Senator Sherman. If Senator Sherman should
bite.me Secretary ref State, the way would be
left open for thc appointment of C. .N*. Hllss, or
some other N'ew-Yeirk man, to one of tho lesa
important Cabinet position:*. The Secretary of
the Treasury will not be chosen from New-York,
nor will Mr. Uanna ba appointed lo that ofllce.
If ho become, a mernie;- of tho CablneTho will
be either Postmaster-'Jeneral or Secretary of the
Navy, but his presen.-; In the Cabinet depends
upon Senator Sherman':, course. The chief am?
bition .if Mr. Hanna, in a poUtlcnl way, is to be?
come a Benator .if the United stales, if Mr.
Sherman goes inti the Cabinet the path is
cleared, in a measure', for Mr. Hanna, for he will
have an even chance in the contest for the seat
next year with the- esther aspirants, and there
will be* several of them. The-re is no reason at
this time te> suppose that Governor Bttahnell
WOUld appe'lnt Mr. Hanna to the Senate to till
the vacancy cauaed by the resignation eif Sona
teir Sherman if he were to become a Cabinet
officer. The current impressie.n is that the Oov?
ernor would choe.se eine eif his own personal and
political friends tei serve tho re-maining y.-ar of
Mr. Bberman'a unexpired term. Governor Bnah
nell has recently announced that he would m>t
himself be a candidate for the United States
Senate.
Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, spent several
hours with Major McKinley this morning, and
left Cleveland for Wnshlngto*. in the afternoon.
Setiate.r Thurston says Nebraska has nei e-aiiili
date for Cabinet honors, but could furnish soma
excellent men if there should bo a denianu for
thom. He dlacuaaed the various Senatorial con
tests in the West with th.* President-elect, ami
gave* him the latest Information bearing upon
them. Regnrding the cuban situation, ho said:
I really do not se*e* that lt has changed very
much slrne Congress adjourned. I am afralel
that the mineirity in tho Senate will be able to
defeat the Cameron reoolutlon, anel I do not
look for any action by the present Administra
tie.tl."
"Then you have heipes that the new Adminis?
tration 'Nil] elo some-thing'."'
"Oh. 1.11* must do something. This ls a burn?
ing QOeetlon that demands some action. Public
sentiment Ls rapidly being nrouseel, and (-/nile
I don't know sei much about the situation in the
Hast. I know tho people emt West are demand?
ing that something be de>ne."
v. Ct Pierro, ? representative of tho Cunna
Junta In New-York, sought the President-ele. t
tl Mr. Hanna's reaidenee to-day and talked with
him for a half-hoar about the hope, and aims of
tho Ineurgente.
Among Major McKinley's callers yesterday
was C N. Hllss of New-York, who spent th. af
ternoon with th*' Presid.snt-el.esr at Mr. Hanna's
heime, and returned to the> Kast to-day.
Major McKinley expects to return from Can?

land HM the Ural e.f i,ex' week. He has had a
lay or twe> e.f comparative rest here, hut the de
manets on hil time have begun again, and he

The accident occurred at the time In the evening
when the- southbound cars are lill.-el with working

sprawling eui the floor, and smasheel the front and
rear platforms.
Mulligan, was thrown bodily through the front
door of ear No. 291. and Carey escaped injury by
leaping to the street, lust before the cars struck.
Pandemonium reigned inside bot- cars, which were
running north at full rpeed -Men and women fought
Indiscriminately In their efforts to escape, and at
Klghty-fourth-st. one woman In car No. 301 suc?
ceeded in climbing through a window, and fell Into

A crowded crosstown car In K..rty-**cond-st. fur?
nished a large crowd nrjoh amusement about 9
o'clock last evening. At tlie corner of Flfth-ave.
the driver stopped the ar and assisted the con?
ductor In putting off an obstinate man of huge pro?
portions who wished to ride across town with a
Thlrd-ave. line transfer ticket. After a short,
sharp struggle, the two men succeeded in getting
the obstreperous disturber off the front platform,
but he took both of them off willi him. and got
back on the front platform 'lrsr He grasped the
brake lever and twisteu lt arotird until the chains
creaked as If they would break The driver and
conductor looked la vain for a policemen, but there
was none In sight
By tills rime a large crowd had gathered and a
number of cars wore Mocked. Several elttvers arid
conductors then came to the aid ot their colleagues,
and grabbed the obstruct.tr In a vain attempt to
remove him from tho car. Ho helel on to the brake,
however, with Krlm determination, and defied their
effOrtS As a centre-rusher In a football match h**
would have liee n Invaluable. Every few mom.-nts
lin woulei brace hlmseif against the car door and
kle-k out sid. way- -a movement which generally re?
sulted In sending some of the .attacking party
sprawling.
At last a strategist, a regular Stonewall Jaok
sn.i. appeared in the conductor of a Boulevard
car. He executed a flank movement by entering
the car a:i.i trailing until the mar. with the trans?
fer ticket braced against th. door and kicked out
sideways At an opportune moment he shoved the
door wlele open, anil the strong man fell over
backward into the car, which gave his enemies an
opportunity to grasp his h.gs and to pull them as
If they were support straps
The re'Stilt of the movement was disastrous, how?
ever, as the fallen man emitted a loud roar, grasped
th. leeg Of I p. istn on each sl.b* of the car and
lunde.l both passengers In a tangled heap on the
flex>r. During the diversion caused by this move?
ment, the transfer ticket man got on his feet
and defied everybody associated with surface roads.
Th.* conductor expostulated with him. Drawing
himself up to his full height, and holellng up a fist
the man Baked* "Cen I ride on this transfer?"
"Tea, as far as you like," the conductor replied,
meekly.
"That's all right. I won't ride in your old car.
I'll take anchor, and have some fun with the con?
ductor." answered tho man. who then got off and
?rared his transfer ticket In triumph.
The combined strength of the eirlver and con
luotor was required to release rhe brake, and the
long line of westbound cars resumed rhelr Journey.

With a tale of a chase by a I'nlted States cruiser
and of being held up by a blank cartridge fired
after her, the ocean-going tug Walter A. I.ucken
bach came Into port yesterday, her crow rather
proud of tho little race she had had with a rep?
resentative of Uncle Barn's Navy off the Florida
roast.
Tho Luekenboeh closely resembles one or two
of the sreamers that have recently become famous
as Cuban filibusters. She was on her way to New
Orleans to bring the Hrltlsh ship Rverest to this
port, when, off Alligator Reef, on December 14, she
saw the Raleigh heading for her. The Raleigh ls
uno of the patrol vessels which the I'nlted States
QOVenunenl has stationed off the Florida coast to
watch for filibusters. Seeing that the cruiser waa
chasing him. Captain Wlllen decldoel to try her
speed. He signalled to the engineer to crowd on

the rat*' of something like fourteen knots an hour.
Th*) Raleigh, seeing, at lost, that she couldn't
li.ild her own at that rate, flre.l a blank cartridge

Washington, Jan. 5.?The Cameron resoluMn_,
ls not tei be pressed In the Senate. This de?
cision has been definitely reached by the frlendo
of the measure In that body. Infeitmatlon to
tlals effect was ceimmunicated to a Tribune
correspondent to-day by a prominent Senator
wtn**e sympathy for Cuba ls string. The reso?
lution ls not to l.e Ignored entirely. A few
speeches advocating tts adoption will be de?
livered and certain Senators are exported to
oppose lt with moro or less earnestness. But
no particular determination will he displayed
hy Cuba's friends to get a ve>te on tho resolu?
tion
Senators Meirgan and Mills, and possibly Sena?
tor Davis, ire counted on te> address the Sen?
ate In support of the measure and Incidentally*
to take issue with Secretary Olney on the point
that the Executive has the right to lgmire an
act of Congress recognising the independence oA
a new republic. Some irregular or unlooked-for1
debate may ensue when ' these speeches sr*
made, but there ls no present intention on the
part of Cuban sympathizers In the Senate to
bring on any protracte-d discussion or other
wis* to fore-e their colleagues on record on th.
question. Although he ha.1 made no anm.unce
mont to that effect, Senator Hale, lt ls be?
lieved, will make one speech against the resolu-*
tion.
A pi eminent Senateir. a member of tho Com-*
mlttee on Foreign Relations, made the predic?
tion to-day that the rcsoluthm *Aeiuld not l>* the
subject of more than a half-dej_en speeches be?
tween now and the end of the session and that
all the debate woulei mit exe oed six hours la
length. Other Senators said that lt would sur?
prise them if any special attention was devoted
to the resolution between now and March 4.
Several expressed the hope that something
might be done In tho Interest of Cuban Inde?
pendence. ?Peael for this session" epitomize*
the opinion of those who spoke to-day.
LEFT KOR PRMID-WT M KINLEY.
Senators who sympathize with the Cubana In
their prese.ii struggle seem to feel that tba'
question of recognblng the Independence of tha
Island will force Itself on the next Congress.
It ls to be said, however, that the.se who say
this e-uallfy the statement by the remark, "un?
less President McKinley relieves Congress of
this eluty." A leading Republican Senateir waa
ask^d to-day If he did not think it unwise, or*
account of Mr. McKinley's early induction int*
office, to agitate the Cuban question at thin
time. He replied:
"Let me answer arith a question: Is lt wise
I to permit Grover Cleveland to force on the new
; Administration a serious international problem?
; I am .if the opinion that Mr. McKinley's ptefer
I ence ls that this subject should tie di-p'eed of
j before he becomes President. Not that he
wishes tei shun any responsibility, however
i great, but the question ls one which arose in
Cleveland's Administration and one which
ought to b. settled in tlie course of his terni
Mr. MeKlntey will act in the case, If he fall.
heir to lt, in a statesmanlike way, of course, but
he would be freed from a goftons embarrass?
ment If action was had before Mar-h 4 lt ia
my dellb?rat" eipinlon that the present Adminis?
tration har, proerastlnated In the case of Cuba
with the intontlein of forcing thc question on the
new Administration.
"Let me say another thing In peitnt. T '-day my
attention was caller? to an act of shrewdness on
the part of Secretary Olney. I'ntll the day the
Cnmeron resolution was agreed to by the Senate
Committee, the ejuestlon in the public mind waa
that of doini- something for Cuba. Mr. Olney In
his statement to the press defying Congress di?
verted -attentie-n from that pe.Int to tho subject
of the respective rights ..f 'he Executive and
Congress. Slne'e then wo have heard little of
Cuba, but much of the powers of two brane-hes
eif tho Government. Mr. Olney ls a shrewd
lawyer."
WHY NO ACTION IS TO RK TAKEN.
There aro a numbet eif roasems which have Im?
pelled Senate>rs who are . Incerely Interested 'n
Cuban Independence to the- decialos not to prest
the Cameron resolution. The chief reason ls
that to urge actina at this time would injure
rather than help the Cuban canna. It bas be?
come apparent tei Senate.rs who are cle.se observ?
ers that eariie'st opposition bas developed '.<*
tho Cameron resolution. Numerically consM*-*
ered. the Senate- ls in fave.r e.f the resolution.
The opposition, while In a minority, ls deter?
mined, and under the rub*s nf the' Senate even o,
tow members of that body can de'ear favorable
netion on any measure. The re ls n<> limit to de.
bate In the upper house, anel a small group of
Senateirs could talk the resolution to dearh. De
bat ?, e.nce preedpltated. woubl undoubtedly be*
lively and long continued. Tho frienels of Cuba
realize this. Th* y say that there are only about
fifty elays remaining eif the session, and that If
the elebate li star'ed a full and careful consid?
eration In the Senate of tho regular appropria?
tion bills will nor bo possible. Some' of thong
bills would possibly be laid aside, or it would hg
ne-cessary t.< rush thom through without lu
dbdous examination Reside* th** appropriation
hills, there are several other important measure,
pending in tho Senate in which many Senators
aro deeply interested. The Cuban elebate would
endanger the passage of those. Tho Cuban cause
must neit. Ifs friends reason, take the <hanco of
hsvlnt* lt said against lt that at the olosInK sos.
sion eif this Congress lt blocked all other legisla?
tion. This would make enemies, neit friends, lt
is argued
Cuban sympathizers In tho Senate go further
than this In explaining why they deem if Inad?
visable to push the resedutlon. ,\ particularly
practical reason ho* been given by some. Tt ls
this: Even If if ls decided to urge the adoption
of the resolution and lt ls passed by the Senate
and the House, lr would not be favorably arte,
on by the President Therefore the time con?
sumed In its consideration by Congress would
have boon utterly lost.
