The Monetary Convention.
Indianapolis Ind Jan. 12 1807.
The morning trains brought in many
accessions to the number of delegates
already arrived at the monetary con
vention. It is expected that there will
be in the neighborhood of five hunared
delegates present. General Simon
Bolivar BuckDer of Kentucky late cac
didate for vice president on the nation
al democratic ticket is among the num
ber who came in this morning. Hon
Eusrene LoveriDg late candidate for
president on the prohibition ticket ar
rived soon after him. There is a notice
able absence of any delegates from the
states west of the Missouri river and
irom the south.
The Little Rock Ark. board of
trade has sent Charles F. Penzel H
L. Rercmel late republican candidate
for governor Sidney J. Johnson and
Morrie M. Cohn as delegates. Call
fornia has sent Col. John P. Irish
only. The executive committee met
at 10 o'clock and laid out its final
program. It was decided to limit
speakers to ten minutes in the pre
sentation of papers and plans of mone
tary reform. The convention is being
held at Tomlinson's hall which pre
sents much the same appearance that
it did during the national democratic
convention. Delegates wearing red
ilk badges bearing the words "In
dianapolis Monetary Convention Tues
Iuajr
day January 12 1897" began to assem-
at 1:45 p. m. A few minutes after
clock Hugh H. Hanna chairman of
the executive committee called the
convention to order and introduced E.
O. Stanard ex-governor of Missouri
who had been selected by the execu
tive committee as temporary chair-
man. Jacob W. Smith acting secretary of
the executive committee is stated for
the temporary secretary. W. F. Golt
has been appointed sergeant-at-arms
and he has appointed eleven assistants
to guard the doors and take care of the
sessions. It is understood that Evans
Woollen will be proposed for perma-
nent secretary.
Ex-governor Stanard in addressing
the convention said in part: "Confi
dence is the -foundation on which the
business affairs of our material inter
ests are ouut. mere snouia oe enougn
money todo the business of the country.
There should be no doubt about its
character. No shaking of confidence
to take it out and keen it out of circula
tion. The people of the United States
not only should have confidence in our
financial methods but all the nations of
the earth with whom we have commer
cial relations should have an assurance
of the stability of our financial affairs
so that they may know on what basis
they are working."
He ad vocated the retirement of the
United States treasury notes and re-
commended that the national banking
law be .so amended as to allow the na-
tional banks to issue bank notes up to
the par value of their bonds which
they hold as a basis for their issue.
Powder Mill Explodes-
Pittsburg Penna. Jan. 12. At 9:15
o'clock this morning the tank house of
the Columbia Powder company located
in Hollowa one half mile from the Ohio
river and midway between Boroughs
Shousetown & Shanopin was accident-
ally blown up. Five minutes later the
store room was also shattered by a
terrific explosion. Mr. Stickney the
proprietor of the works and his two
daughters are dead while Mr. P. Mc-
Kluskey was fatally injured and Walter
Crane was seriously injured. The
nitro-glycerine magazine is now sur-
rounded by an uncontrollable fire and
will doubtless explode adding greatly
to the damage of the adjacent property.
A corrected list of the killed and in-
jured places the dead at four and one
fatally injured.
By an almost superhuman effort the
flames were controlled before the
glycerine magazine igrited and a more
serious catastrophe was averted. The
cause of the explosion will probably
never be known.
Ambushed iu Africa.
London Eng Jan. 12. Dispatches
received at the foreign office this
morning confirm previous reports of a
serious massacre in Africa by wild
tribes men in the territory of the King
of Benin of the members of the Bri-
tish expedition which left the coast of
upper Guinea on January 1st intend-
ing to proceed to the Benin protector-
ate. These confirmatory reports say

I together with 24.'5 native carriers were
killtd and that only seven kroomen
escaped.

Pacific Funding Bill Dead.
Washington D. C. January 12
Speaker Reed rendered his decision in
the house of representatives today
that the motion to recommit the
Pacific railroad funding bill to the
committee made by Mr. Powers
republican of "Vermont on yesterday
was not in order.
Mr. Johnson said that the attack on
his character which appeared in the
Record had never been delivered on
the floor of the house by Mr. Maguire
yet he had information from San Fran-
cisco that the Examiner bad printed
the speech alleging that it had been
delivered on the floor. Johnson said it
was true that he had been indicted in
Syracuse N. Y. but that he bad
since paid every dollar he owed
in that city. During his congressional
campaigns he had told people he was
the same Grove Johnson who had been
indicted and he had been nominated
and reelected. He did not try to con
ceal his youthful fault. "I did wrong"
he said "I know it but I have made
up for it as well as any man could."
(Here Mr. Johnson's voice broke.)
Mr. Johnson sat down amid app:ause
and then Mr. Maguire arose.
He referred to Mr. John
son's attacK on jur. Hearst as tae
most bitter and malicious assault
he had ever heard delivered against
an absent man who had no means of
answering on the floor. A motion by
Mr. Poole (Rep N. Y.) was adopted to
expunge from the record certain por
tions of Masuire's speech and the res
olution to strike from the record Mr.
Johnson's remarks reflecting on the
character of Mr. Hearst was defeated
Brosius called up the house bill in
creasing the classes to which preference
shall be given in appointments in civil
service. It provides that these classes
shall be disabled union soldiers and
sailors of the late war honorably dis-
harged union soldiers and sailors
widows and orphans of union soldiers
and sailors. The bill passed. Mr.
Johnson Calif. then took the floor on
question of personal privilege made an
mpassioned address in answer to re
marks ioserted in the congressional
Record this morning by Mr. Maguire
Rep Calif. under leave to print.
In the Senate.
Washington Jan. 12. After tran
saction of the routine morning business
today the senate went into executive
session.
The republicans of the senate held a
caucus tnis morning to consider trie
imetallic resolution reported to it by
the caucus committee of which Wol-
cott of Colorado is chairman. After
several changes suggested as essential
to securement of absolute harmony the
caucus adjourned until triaay.
other subject was discussed.
No
Ivory Gets Polished Off.
London Jan. 12. The grand
jury
Bai-
in the central criminal court old
ley today returned a true bill against
Edward J. Ivory alias Edward Rell of
New Vork who was arrested at Glas-
gow in September last on charge of
being engaged in a conspiracy to cause
dynamite explosion.
Flame of Hope Snuffed Out.
Washington Jan. 12. The hope of
those members anxious to secure leg-
glation with reference to Pacific rail
roads this session was quenched to
day by Speaker Reed who decided the
motion of yesterday to recommit not
order.
Postmasters Appointed.
Washington D. C Jan. 12 1897.
The following postmasters were ap
pointed today by the president for the
state of California: S. L. Merstetter
at Chula Vista; E. llsohn at Diamond
Springs: H. S. Grinnell at La Costa.
London "linies" on Wolcott's Visit.
In speaking of the visit of Senator
Wolcottthe London "Times" says:
Senator Wolcott will be welcomed
here. For several reasons Mr. Mc-
Kinley could not have chosen a more
acceptable envoy. But public opinion
n England is more hostile than before
to bimetallism. Nothing can be hoped
from the visit except as a political
movement and a salve to the silverites.
The failure of his mission is certain.
No public man whatever his theoreti
cal views would trunk tne present an
opportune moment to moot the question
and this opinion will existat all events
as long as bimetallism .appears to be
dropped or revived according to the
exigencies of American domestic
politics."
Populists Will not Kiss the 15ible.
The custom of kissing the bible at
the inauguration of state officers which
has prevailed In Kansas since the ad-
mission of the state into the Union
was not observed by the populists yes-
terday. G. C. Clemens chairman of
the arrangements committee objected
to the custom on the ground that the
germs of disease might be carried
from one person to another by kissing
the bible.
Col .1. P. Canby lietired.
Col. J. P. Canby chief paymaster of
the department of Colorado w ho has
reached the age of 64 years has retired
from the service after an experience
of nearly thirty years in '.the United
States army. The colonel is succeeded
by Maj. C. C. Sniffin who recently
arrived from New York where he was
on duty for two years past.
There was a wedding dance at the
court house last night in honor of the
marriage on that day of Pedro Cande
lario and Miss Maese.
CITY OF MEXICO.
Our Neighbors Find Annsenieut Over
Foot U'll and the Theatre.
City of Mexico Jan. 7. '97
In this city the new year was ushered
in about the same as it is in the states
Some people sat up and watched the
old year out and the new one in; others
went to bed to Sieep: others were so
drunk that they couldn't distinguish
the difference in time while others still
worked and thought not of the dying
year nor of the one being born. Your
humble servant was of the last lot and
when the rid vear was rung out was
deeply interested in the intricacies of a
verv interesting proof sheet that a
Mexican artist that did not understand
English had just manufactured for the
columns of the Two-Republics. Of
course a bad proof at twelve o'clock at
night always leaves the proof reader
in a very amiable frame of mind and
that was the condition I was in when
the new year was ushered in.
The new year has brought to this
city cloudless days and bracing balmy
air; all are pleased and they feel better
that a coH wet and disagreeable
autumn has just past. Even here one
can see the effects of winter as the
trees are leafless and the valley of Ana-
huac is not now carpeted in the beauti
ful green that greets the eye of the vis-
itor a little later in the season.
IMPROVEMENTS.
There are a number of improvements
in progress here just at present and
many more are contemplated for the
near future. Among the most notable
of the improvements now in progress
are those going on in and around the
castle of Cbapultepec. The grounds
are being tilled in and leveled up and
the famous oM acqueduct is being torn
down and hauled awav to fill up holes.
The park arouod Chapultepec is
already pretty but it will be greatly
enlarged and beautified when the work
now in progress is finished. Just to
the north of the castle the grounds are
being laid out for the Mexican Inter
national Exposition but this work is
progressing slowly and not much is be
ing done in that line. Many new and
elegant buildings aro under construc
tion in the centre of the city and when
finished they will add greatly to the
beautv and stability of this southern
metropolis.
THE FOOT BALL TEAMS
Of the Universities of Texas and
Missouri trod the eridiron in this city
between Christmas and New Year and
have returned to their native heaths.
The two games that were played here
were witnessed by a large number of
people Mexicans and members of the
foreign colonies excepting Spanish
(the latter attend nothing American
justnow.) The Mexicans did not like
the sport and eHea it tne ft.inerican
bull fight." They said it was too
rough and would uever take in Mexi
co.
I see that the tariff agitators in
congress are already talking aoout
raising the tariff of Mexican cattle. It
seems to me they are awful quick in
trying to jump onto something western
and assist Mexico in building up new
factories and refrigerators. Just as
soon as a prohibitive tariff is put on
Mexican cattle those same parlies who
were instrumental in raising the tariff
will form stock companies and come to
this republic and start refrigerators.
Mexico now buys almost all her canned
and cured meats in the United States
and this market is growing larger
every year as the natives become more
accustomed to the consumption of
foreign foods. A high tariff on Mexican
cattle will result in the establishment
of refrigerators and canning factories
in this country thereby cutting off a
large and growing trade that the
United States now has with this coun
try.
MEXICAN ORANGES.
I also see that the California fruit
growers are after the Mexican orange
trade and want a prohibitory tariff put
on that fruit. Why they should kick
for this I cannot see as the Mexican
orange does not come in direct com
petition with the California fruit
neither does it lower the price of that
fruit. It is true that a large amount
of oranges have bsen shipped from
this republic to the states and the
trade is growing annually but the
Mexican crop comes in after the Flor
ida crop has been marketed and the
Mexican crop is all in before the Cali
fornia crop is ready for the market.
Any one can see by this that the Mex-
ican orange trade does not come in
direct competition with any of the
orange crops of the United States but
only fills in a gap between the crop of
Florida and that ot uaiiiornia ana
keeps a continual supply of oranges in
the marnets of the states. The Mexi
can orange is mucn more psrisnaoie
than the crop from the states and can
not be held so as to bear down the
price of California fruit.
LEOl'OLDO FREGOLI.
The theatre going people have been
having a great treat in amusements in
the person of one Leopold o Fregoli.
He is one of the greatest impersonat
ors and lightning change characters in
the world if not the best of them all.
Fregoli was engaged by the principal
theatre management in New York at
a very high figure and the manager
felt shaky after the deal as to whether
he would be able to pay the price
promised. He has now been playing
30 days and there is no abatement in
the rush to the box office to secure
seats and if seats are not procured a
day in advance there is no chance of
seeing this great actor. He has no
troupe but gives a whole show himself
and during the performance be repre-
sents 00 different characters men and
women old and yout.g he does not
only represent them in dress but in
voice and facial expression as well.
They are all represented so quick that
it looks impossible for one
man
to do it. He walks
out
of one stage door as a man in
evening dress and comes right
full
into
lady
another door in the full dress of a
and singing in a high soprano
voice.
I was behind the scenes in one
of his
plays find saw him make the i
and while he carries no troop
hanges
he has
about fifteen men statiosied behind the
scenes that each have their parts to
perform and each is ready to m-.et him
as he leaves the stage and while one is
removing something tne others are
puttinar something on him and all the
time ho is walking s; that ho caa b
neard oy tne aunience ana irom tne
time he leaves one stage door and ciu
walk to another he is changed en'irelv
and represents an entire'y different
person Ho is not only an actor but
a tine t-inger and musician lie sings
a duct in soprani) and bass and Carrie
both voices to perfi.ctiou. Ilo is an
Italian but talks or sings in English
French Spanish or German besidee
his own language. He will make his
lat performance in this city tonight
and will then leave for Havana. Dur-
ing his 30 days in this city be has made
S20.000 and his leaving will be regret-
ted by all theatre goers who never tire
of seeing him play.
LOIE FULLER.
The next grand attraction in the the-
atrical line will be Loie Fuller who
will appear here on the 14th. She will
appear at the National and that she
will be well received goes without say-
ing because these people love amuse-
ment especially when they are first-
class attraction0. Loie's dress is some-
thing extraordinary and will contain
500 yards of silk. In this immense robe
of elegant material she will do her
great fire dance and during the dance
the entire five hundred yards of silk
will appear to bo in flames. But Loie
will get there and she will carry away
many Mexican ducats when she leaves
too.
It is wonderful what a difference a
man feels about money matters in thia
couutry. If a man comes down from
the states and wants to buy something
and the price is $1.00 he savs "Oh that's
only 50 cents anyway" ani makes the
purchase. How different one feels if
he is earning his monev in this country.
To one earning his money here a dollar
is a dollar and he can't get into his
head that it is only fifty cents. He is
not willing tc call a dollar fifty cents
and let the trade go. At some other
time I will tell you more about it.

Jeffersonian Simplicity.
Denver. Jan. 12. The most simple
and unpretentious inauguration cere-
monies in the history of Colorado
marked the inaugural of Governor Alva
Adams at noon today. Mr. Adams
walked from his residence to the
capitol took the oath of office before
Chief Justice Hayt and made an
address to the assembled legislature

then started In on his gubernatorial
duties with no military no display no
expense and at a total cost of the cele-

fairs. Omaha's Fair.
