They were nearly pros- trated by the escaping gases, for the mysterious box comained the decomposed remains of a butchered human body.

Washington, Jan, 7—In the Seu- ate today, Mr. Teller of Colorado, handled withcut gloyes the humbug of the McKinley administration in sending abroad a commission ostea sibly to secure international bimet allism. Senator Teller said: “The Republican party knew fuil) well in 1896 thatit could not ac- complish international bimetallism. few ef us who had been contending for international bimetallism, and, | if we could not get it. for national | bimetallism If I bad believed we j linternational bimetallism in four | years under this or auy other admin istration, I would have remained in the political organization to which | Ihave been attached my} whole political life; but I knew tiat | the Republican party was ia power | and contro! of the men who did not} during mean to have international bimetal-} lism, or any other, and if mission had come home with an agreement that India should open her mints and that the Bank of| England should put one-fifth of its | reserve in silver, [ knew then, as I koow now, that ina Republican House tuea elected you could not baye passed an approving act of that character. “The men who poured out their money as money Lever was poured} out in the history of avy country in} world—who reserted to coersion and force, to bribery and indecent acts as no people ever saw or beard of—would uot allow international bimetallism, nor would they allow bimetallism, national or any other. It is for the control of the great in- terests of the country; for the con trol of the great avenues of coni- merce and trade. It 1s for the con- trol of, and that they may take toll upon, all the energies and the ekill of all our labor everywhere. “The money power is the great power that bas been felt all over the world. It is the power that to-day allows the murders in Armenia; that allows the wickedest war that was ever carried on against men to be carried on in the sight of our shores, because it fears that to do otherwise would disturb commercs and trade. “Hume said that the time would | come when the salvation of divideads !would make it necessary that we cease to consider the honor and safety of the country.

Ten years ago, this coming summer, a little lad going to his first school stepped on a piece of glass that pen- It was toall appearances removed at the time, but for a year afterward he would at times complain of bis foot hurting at the place where the glass went ip. took out another small bit and he thought his foot was well. But sometime afterward his foot would pain bim asif it had some- thing init. Things ran along this way until one day last week, when he felt something hard just under the skin on top of his foot. Upon in- vestigation it was found to bea piece of glass over ith of an inch long and 1-16th of aninch square. Thus Reason Williams delivered from this uncanny companion picked up ten years ago and furnished a story; one of the strangest feats that a foreign substance can perform in a human body. Reason has his little keep sake still in his possession but not in his foot. In a characteristic scuffle between the boys on the play ground at Prai- rie Rose school house last week, Wal- ter Rice had his ankle dislocated.
