In the Southern end of the San Joaquin valley, there reside hun dreus of the men who fought under the leadership of Quantrell Fleeing from the wrath of the Union armies, | looking the remark addressed to himeelf. The sheep men looked from one to the other, but before there was an answer Lane stepped from behind and pointed to where a man lay in his bunk with his blanket rolled about him as though in sleep. “There's George Taylor.” The sheriff strode to the side of the figure and shook it roughly. “Here, get on your feet,” he said, “and let us bave a look at you.” Slowly unwrapping himeelf, the man thus spoken to crawled out of his crib and doggedly sat on the edge. “Well, what do you want of me?” he asked. The sheriff turned to the informer. “Ie this the man?” these men came westward at the eud of the war and settled in what was Ano affinity of among them. More than that, he remembered this region as the scene and he thought to fiud safety among the fastnesses that so long enabled the two train robbers to keep at bay the officers of the law.

Washington, D.C, Jan. 29.—By the decisive vote of 46 to 4, the Sen- ate today passed the bill for the appointment of coramissioners to an | iuternatianal money conference. The | closing of the debate brought out | several notable epeeches, including {those of Mr. Hoar, Mr Vilas, Mr. \ Jones of Arkaneas, Mr. Gorman, Mr. Allison aud Mr. Carter It disclosed that little opposition existed against the bill, the only division being as to the expediency of seeking bimetal- lism through international agree- ment. As voicing the general view on the Democratic side, Mr. Jones and Mr. Gorman favored its adop- tion exactly as the Republicans desired, in order that the responsi- | bility might be theirs Mr Hoar’s | speech attracted attention, and war |one of the most noteworthy utter- ances of the veteran Senator made in He spoke of his observations in Evrope during !ast summer, bis agreeabie discussions with Mons. | Meline and Bourgereau in Paris and \Mr. Balfour in London on the {advance of bimetallism Mr. Hoar |expressed the conviction tbat four great vations—the United States, Great Brita, Frauce and Germany, , were fast aud mevitably tending to- ward. a bimetallic agreement.
