Sergeant-at-Arms fright Arranging Mis Forces for the Night Session. ‘There Is nobody to whom a night session of the Senate’means more than the“sergeant- at-arms. This official is also the doorkeeper of the Senate, and besites the duty of pro- viding the quorum he hes to see that the galleries are orderly. It is nip and tuck which is the harder task. Col. Bright, the present incumbent of the Office. has had a wide experience in both lines. He was busy today providing for the fray. Every man on his: pay-roi! had been noti- fied to be on hand this afternoon, including some who were on leave, and by noon he had a force of about forty for all purposes. ‘There will be about twenty-five men on duty at the gallery doors, in relays, and a dozen more on guard at the doors of the floor. Then there will also be four men to send tor Senators when there is a call of the Senate. A carefully revised list of addresses has been p-epared, and the office of the Sergeant-at-arms is primed with informa- tion as to the haunts of the statesmen who are apt to drift away. ‘The great trouole in prolonged session is the advent of all-nighters, who flock to the galleries in scores in the hope of finding there a snug, wa-m place to snooze away a comfortable night. The doormen of the Galleries are especially warned to look out for these, and they are instructed to see that there is no winking or blinking in the Speciator’s lofts. Yesterday the house cleaning began at the Senate, and the felt cove>s were removed from a good many tabies in committee Roms and dusted and aired on the porticoes. ‘This gave rise to the rumor that the ser- geant-at-arms had provided a quantity of slumber robes for his force, in the expecta- tion that his men would be obliged to sleep at the Capitol. Col. Bright summoned his chief aids to his office this morning and gave them their! final instructions in regard to the preserva- tion of order during the rush that is expect- @d to begin at 4 or 5 o'clock. given to be very particular about admis- sions to the reserved and diplomatic galle- ries. A SPEECH SOMETHING OF e Gallery. There was a silver speech delivered in the Senate this afternoon that was not down on the calendar. It came from the lips of an intoxicated individual, who had fm some way managed to secure a seat in the ladies’ gallery at the southeast corner. It was about 1 o'clock, and Senator Cock- rell was in the midst of the third install- ment of his speech against repeal when the @ignity of the Senate was suddenly startled by the sound of a song or chant coming from the inebriate im the gallery. He arose to his feet and walking down the steps Stood up by the railing and called out in a voice: “Silver, silver, silver is my ‘The doorkeeper rushed in the gallery at once and prevented the man from any fur- ther demonstration.

WM. T. JENKINS, Health Officer of the Port. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 11.—There were 106 fresh cases of cholera and forty-seven deaths in St. Petersburg on October 4 to 6. In the same period there were three fresh cases and four deaths in Moscow. In most of the provinces the epidemic has abated somewhat. On October 4 to 6 there were, however, 671 fresh cases of cholera and 235 deaths in Volhynia, 419 fresh cases and 153 deaths in Kieff, 225 fresh cases and 129 deaths in Voronesh, 29 cases and 11 deaths in Ekaterinoslav. In Podolia there were 1,360 fresh cases of cholera and 550 deaths between September 16 and October 1. ee SUNK IN THE QUICKSANDS. Reports Probable Fate of the Long Overdue Ship Valkyrie. HALIFAX, Oct. 11.—Two months ago the ship Valkyrie of St. Johns, N. B., left Syd- ney bound for New York. Since then noth- ing was heard of her until yesterday, when the government steamer Lansdown arrived here from Sable Island, bringing news that life buoys, deck house and other wreckage from the Valkyrie had been picked up on Sable Island. The ship had evidently met her fate on one of the sand bars and been swallowed up in one of the treacherous quicksands of the island. Nothing had been heard of the captain and crew and doubtless they have met a watery grave. — PROF. SMITH’S CASE. Synod to Consider It. CINCINNATI, Oct. 11.—At last night's session of the Ohio synod of the Presby- terlan Church Rev. A. A. E. Taylor of Columbus was elected moderator by a vote of 12 to {cast for his opponent, Rev. J. C. Holliday of Zanesville, who was sup- ported by almost every anti-Smith man. Dr. Taylor is regarded as a moderator who will select the ccmmittees with fair- ness to both sides. As soon as Dr. Bryan had announced the program for this morn- ing the synod adjourned until 9 o'clock. ‘The Smith heres’ case will likely be re- ferred to the judicial committee and much interest is manifested as te the composi- tion of that committee. —— BEATEN BY HIGHWAYMEN. They Were Angry at Securing Only $7 From Their Victim. BROCKTON, Mass., Oct. 11.—One of the most daring highway robberies ever known in this section was committed last evening on the road to Whitman, near the Whit- man and Brockton line. James Hayes, a well-known resident of this city, formerly in the liquor business, and George W. Simmons, who resides on the Whitman road, were returning from a ride to Whitman when four men suddenly stepped from the woods, one catching the horse by the bridle, another striking both men in the wagon with a heavy branch of @ tree. Hayes was dragged from the car- riage, brutally assaulted and robbed by the Tuffians, then placed in the carriage, and his companion told to drive home. Hayes is in a terrible condition. His face is crushed to @ jelly, his body 1s badly bruised and he is in a precarious condition. He could not identify his assailants. ‘Mr. Hayes usually carries a large sum of money on his person, but last night had only $i, which the thieves secured. They were evidently actuated also by a spirit of revenge. —s—__ CROWDS AT THE FAIR. Transportation Lines at Chicago Swamped.

All the transportation lines were swamped with people, and thousands living in Hyde Park were compelled to walk to the fair grounds or ride down town first if they wanted a seat. ne pe a my Orders.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER IN WALL sTREE®. Sti Waitin, for Reliable News From Washington. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—Speculation this morning showed signs of weakness and the few bull: traders th the room found nothing sufficiently encouraging in the situation to warrant an advance in prices. Initial figures recorded fractional varia- tions from yesterday's closing, but the tendency was clearly toward Jower prices. London was higher and for no special reason, except that it may have been a bear maneuver to get a high opening for selling purposes. Late advices from Washington are by no means encouraging to believers in uncondi- tional repeal, and the course of prices today reflected the renewal of doubt and uncer- tainty as to the ultimate result of the struggle in the Senate. ‘The market has for weeks been held In check by senatorial tardiness and prices were the barometer that indicated the prob- able degree of success for the anti-silver men, as indicated by the character of the debate. Washington dispatches, predicting the triumph of a sound money policy, never failed to produce a rally, and advices which suggested a compromise were invariably used to discount the rise and bring on a reaction. Sterling is reported to be firm at a slight advance. Bills continue in good supply, but brokers are asking high prices for them, especially those drawn against tton sales. Indications point to an ad- ‘ance later in the week, when some sterl- ing loans will mature and lead to an in- creased demand for foreign exchange. Post- ed rates today were siad36, As predicted severdl days ago, St. Paul's earnings for the first week this month show an increase of $40,000. This report was construed to be a foreshadowing of a general improvement in railroad finances. Traders took advantage of the oppor-" tunity to mark up prices, but the rally was limited and short lived. Missouri Pacific vindicated the policy of the bears in that property by showing a decrease for the first week this month of $132,000, and a total decrease since the first of the year of $1,728,000. Union Pacifle improved slightly on ad- vices from the west announcing that the threatened strike was off, and that no reduction in wages would be made. ‘The financial condition of the company is such, however, that selling orders are con- stantly in the market to put out stock on every rally. i Nashvilie was uctive again today at bet- ter figures, but rumor justifies the selling movement in this stock on the ground that the next dividend. wili be passed.

Total now out- standing, $13,315,000. The last hour's trading was dull and un- interesting, but the prices recorded during this period were at or near the best figures of the day.

The summer excursion season is about over and persons will not have much occa- sion to travel up and down the river and get a dose of the odors just below Gtes- boro, where the dead animal rendering factory of Patrick Mann is located, The health officials, however, are taking advan- tage of the cooler weather and are endeav- oring to rid that part of the District of the alleged nuisance. $ published in yesterday’s Star the re- inspection of the place revealed a high board fence about the front of the place as the only change since the inspection made several weeks ago. This afternoon San- itary Inspector Shepherd swore out a war- rant charging Mr. Mann with maintain- ing a nuisance. ‘The warrant was sent out and will prob- ably be returned tomorrow. —___. Mr. Bingham’s Proposed Postal Re- forms, Representative Bingham of Pennsylvania Yesterday introduced in the House a num- ber of bills relating to the postal system, Among the more important of them were the following: : mh {ung the rate on second class matter, ers except t cent per pound. ai es A bill consolidating mail matter of the third and fourth class and making it matl- able at the rate of 1 cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. A bill to provide for the return of all second-class matter ursold or undelivered, ‘at the rate of 1 cent for every four ounces, and another bill proposes to extend to ali places having a population of not less than 8,000 the free delivery system. Several other bills introduced by Mr. Bingham propose to allow any letter car- rier or clerk in a post office who is disa- bled by any casualty whilein performance of his duty three months sick leave in addition to his regular leave; to allow post- masters in first and second-class offices to suspend clerks and employes, without pay, for thirty days for neglect of duty or dis: obedience of orders; to authorize masters to purchase stamps from the pub- lic on presentation, provided they are not soiled or otherwise damaged, at a charge, to be fixed by the Postmaster General, not exceeding 2 1-2 per cent of their face value. A number of these bills were pre- sented in the last Congress by Mr. Bing- ham and received the favorable action of the committee on post offices and post roads, of which he is a member and was formerly chairman. + + NO CHANGE IN THE RULES. The President Lives in the Country, but Receives at the White House. The President comes into town from “Woodley” about 9 o'clock in the morning and eransacts business at the White House as usual during the day. It has bécome generally known that the President doea not receive visitors on Monday. «ha fact that the President has taken up di residence in the country will not necesmitata any change in the White House rules’ for the reception of visitors. The President will not receive on Mondays. Tuesdays and Fridays are cabinet days. This leaves Wed- nesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for offi- clal visitors who are not after office either for themselves or friends. The latter class will not get farther than Mr. Thurber's roo! ‘The President will close his office about 4:30 o'clock and will drive out to “Woodiey” for dinner. In case he desires to confer with officials after office hours he will write them to spend the evening with him at Woodley. All othe> persons will be discour- aged from calling there to see the President on private business. Private Secretary ‘Thurber left here this afternoon for Detroit to bring his family to Washington. He will be gone about a week, and will spend a day or two at the world’s fair. Mr. Pruden will act in his absence and will undertake the delicate task of determining whether a visitor's business justifies a personal aud- tence with the President. a Local Patents.

C. Barss, post office inspector for the Cincinnati division, had been dismissed and that Sec~ retary Gresham had requested his rein- statement and that Postmaster General Bissell had denied the request, was a pure fake. It was widely printed and was cal- culated to do an injustice both to the Sec- retary and to the inspector. Mr. Barss voluntarily resigned and Mr. Gresham has had no connection with the case.

SIx weeks ago he notified Secretary Smith of his intention to quit. His resignation, it is understood, will take place about the last of the year. He will return to the practice of his profes- sion as a banker in Wisconsin, where, as he puts it, he can live more comfortably and make more money. Mr. Jacobs was appointed about six months ago.

TALKING TIME AWAY. ae Te (Continued from First Page). “Not that I know of,” said Mr. Palmer. Mr. Voorhees (Ind.)—My attention was called yesterday by the distinguished Sena- tor from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) to a fact of which I was not aware the other day, that is, that there is a continuing provision of law authorizing the Secretary of the Treas- ury to purchase bullion for subsidiary coin. oe Cockrell—There is no doubt about at. Mr. Voorhees—That is a large discretion. It may amount to $100,000,000. We have but | $77,000,000 subsidiary ‘silver coin now. We ought to have much more. Mr. Cockrell—There is no question but that the power to coin subsidiary silver (a legal tender to the amount of $10) is con- tinued. Nobody doubts that. That is a class distinction. For the great toiling classes there is to be a silver coin, a legal tender for $10; but for the millionaires and aristocrats there must be “gold, precious gold.” I am opposed to class legislation on money or on anything else. —s0e WHEN INTEREST WAS PREPAID. tion Asked by Mr. Allen. Secretary Carlisle sent to the Senate to- day a response to the Allen resolution in- quiring under what circumstances the ‘Treasury Department had anticipated the interest. on bonds since July 1, 188. The Secretary says authority for advance pay- ments of interest is found in the act of March 17, 1864. With two insignificant ex- ceptions the disbursements on this ac- count have been made without deduction or expense to the bondholders. When in- terest was anticipated the conditions of the treasury and of the business of the coufttry were such as to make the exer- cises of the power advisable, if not impera- tive. ‘The Secretary then enters into the details of the payment, beginning with the year 1881, when the effort was made to change the 5 and 6 per cent bonds to 3 1-2 per cent bonds, redeemable at the option of the gov- ernment. As an inducement to surrender the 6 per cent bonds in exchange for 31-2 per cents the treasury offered to prepay the interest to July 1, and so paid out $5,258,613. Interest was also prepaid to the amount of $5,542,231 to August 12, 1881, on account of 5 per cent bonds. ‘The Secretary shows how to afford relief to the money market and prevent the fur- ther accumulation of a surplus of Septem- ber 24, 1881, the department called in $20,- 000,000 in bonds and announced its readiness to redeem weekly during October following $2,000,000 in 31-2 per cent bonds, with inter- est to date of redemption. Under lke con- ditions, in 1883, beginning August 22, the treasury announced that it would accept $5,000,000 of bonds weekly for redemption. During. the months of August, September and October of that year nearly a quarter of a million of dollars was prepaid in inter- est. Again, toward the close of 1898, the com- mercial and financial situation called for prompt action, and anticipated interest in the sum of $8,735,743, which was returned to the channels of trade with great benefit to the country and without embarrassment to the treasury. In May, 1887, the last of the bonds redeemable at the government's pleas- ure were called. There was no way of putting out again the surplus to the people, except by bond purchases at a premium, or by deposits in national bank depositaries. Doubting his authority to purchase bonds not required for the sinking fund, the Sec- retary again anticipated interest to the amount of $10,682,206. The Secretary quotes the report of the controller of the currency, describing the circum- stanees under which the payments of in- terest were deemed advisable In the fall of 1690 ahd up to September, 1892. He’ refers to bank failures in New York, the entanglement of Baring Bros., in F aiid says that the department of- thrsitonpdrehase bonds at that time had for their object the relief of severe monetary ringency. The operation of the treasury then rendered imperative not only by the financial and commercial interests of the country, but by the largely increased reve- nues due to pending tariff changes and to the act of July 14, 1890, which, added to the avatlable cash balance, over’ $54,000,000, re- ‘ited in the release of over $100,000,000, of which $18,500,000 represented prepaid inter- est. ‘The anticipation of $260,505 interest due on September 2, 18%, was offered as an induce- ment for the exchange of 4:1-2 per cent bonds for 2 per cents. During the recent monetary stringency and general depres- ston of business it was deemed advisable to anticipate the interest due July 1 and Sep- tember 1, 1893, and $4,981,845 and $211,820 were disbursed a few days in advance of the date of maturity. 2 +2 THE BOTTLERS ADJOURN. Officers Chosen and Richmond Select- ed for the Next Meeting. In addition to a formal vote of thanks the members of the American Bottlers’ Protective Association at the second day's session of the convention at Metzerott Hall today rose to their feet and gave three rousing cheers as a slight expression, of theft appreciation of the hospitality ‘ex- t thes them by the association of this eltf/Theybottlers ere delighted with their reception ere, with the city and with their hosts, the’ members of the local association. ‘The session today was marked by an earn- egt attention to business, and by a large ai tendance of the delegates. It was found possible to finally adjourn. Among the resolutions adopted was the one referred to, Jn which they placed on record, their official approval of the Washington mem- bers as entertainers. Officers were elected as follows: Presi- dent, Samuel C. Palmer of this city; first vice ‘president, Thos. A. Dukehart of Balti- more; second ‘vice president, Wm. F.

Heinzeling, Baltimore; H. Rehn, Jersey City; D. S. Gilhuly, New Haves Conn.; P. Reiley and J. E. Smith, Brookly: George Herman, Newark, N. J.; Walter Stapleton, Bridgeport, Conn.; Henry Mete, Chicago; H.Wetter, St. Louls; J. C. Buffum, Pittsburg. A Missionary Tour. Richmond, Va., was chosen as the place to hold the next meeting of the convention. Some of the delegates wanted to go to Boston, but it was said that in the south the principles of the association were not well understood, especially by the trade, and it was urged that by holding a ses- sion in Richmond not only the regular business could be attended to, but in ad- dition they would be able to do some mis- mon cause. So it was decided to make an advance on Richmond next year. Speeches Today. The Chicago association became a mem: ber of the national organization. A num- ber of earnest speeches were made in re- gard to the value of co-operation, and Mr. H. S. Harris, an ex-president of the asso- board of uldermen of New York city. who is sald to be the best talker In the con- vention, made an interesting address, in which he spoke of the progress made since ago. Mr. Harris is known as the grand- father of the association, because he was one of the pioneers of the movement which resulted in its formation. The conven- tion has: been a successful one and has been well attended. The duty of urging upon Congress the importance of adopting a general law for the protection of the property handled by the members of the association was in- trusted to the executive committee. a Received Home.

This is a heavy blow to the hopes of those who thought his revolt cloaked a loyalist plot to restore to Brazil a deposed mon- archy. The manifesto was published yesterday and is addressed to all Brazilians, It says that since the 6th day of September last the eople have seen unfolding before their eyes @ long panorama of naturally painful event which have been due solely to the Dictator Peixoto’s obstinate determination to hold on to power at any cost.

DEATH OF MRS. W. W. JOHNSTON. She Passed Awny This Morning in This City. Mrs. Johnston, wife of Dr. W. W. John- ston, died this morning at her residence on K street, after an {illness that presented no serious features until a few weeks ago. Although Mrs. Johnston was not in her usual vigorous health last spring she kept about almost as well as usual and accom- panied Dr. Johnston and their children to his summer home up in Maine, where she quickly regained her lost strength. The cruel blow that came to her in the sad death of her eldest son the latter part of the summer while he was staying with friends on a ranche in Colorado dealt her the death stroke. It will be remembered that the young. man, who went west for his health, was fouily murdered by two desperadoes, and although his heart-broken mother was able to make the long journey from Maine to St. Louis, where his remains Were brought for burial, she steadily failed in health since. Since ‘her return to this city, about a month ago, she has been able to drive out occasionally, but for the past Week her sorrowing family have realized that her end was near. irs. Johnston, whose to Dr. Johnston took piace last June e'year age, was a remarkably handsome woman, and comes from a Missouri family, the feminine members of which have been noted for thelr comeliness. Her father, Wilson Shan- Nea, represented in Congress the thirty- third congressional district for an honor- able period of service; was also minister to Mexico, governor of Ohio and subse- quently a governor of ' Kansas. Her mother’s maiden name was Sarah Osmun, and she came from an old and aristocratic St. Louis family of mingled French and Irish blood. Mrs. Johnston's maiden name was Sally Shannon. She was twice married. Her first husband was John A. Walsh of St. Louis, who left his widow and four chil- dren an ample fortune. His widow spent the first six years after his death in Paris, where her children were placed in school. After her second marriage Dr. and Mrs. | Johnston went. abroad for their wedding trip, and in Paris were elegantly ‘entertain- .ed by the relatives of the latter, Count and Countess De Mun. Mrs. Johnston leaves three children, two daughters and a son, a sister, Mrs. Sue R. Keeler, who resides in this city, and a brother, Mr. Osmun Shannon of Lawrence, Kans. She had a large circle of friends in this city as well as in St. Louis and abroad, who held her in the warmest affec- tion and esteem and who mourn her un- timely death. ee RESIGNATIONS -ACCEPTED. ‘Two Heads Fall in the Decapitation Basket Today. At a late session of the board of Com- missioners this afternoon the resignations of W. Calvin Chase and Edmund Fitzgerald, food inspectors, were accepted, and Gen. E. W.

Mr. Wright Tells the District Oommittee Its Advantages, The Proposed Method for the 9th Street Cars—Wires Underground— Safe and Practicable. The House District committee at its meet- ing this morning listened to a statement from President Stevenson of the Metropoli- tan Railroad Company and Mr. Wright of the firm of Misenburg and Wright, the con- tractors who have offered to instal the Buda Pesth system of conduit electric rail- way upon the 9h street line in this city. Mr. Wright was introduced to the com- mittee by Congressman Black of Illinois, who said that Mr. Wright and his partner had operated in Chicago, where their work had given satisfaction, that the financial re- serves were all right, and that they could sive ample guarantee of their. ability to fulfill their contracts. Mr. Wright stated to the committee that the city of Buda-Pesth is a beautiful city of nearly 600,000 inhabitants. For a number of years attempts were made to perfect @ conduit electric system there, and it has now been accomplished. The first line was opened in July, 1889. It proved to be a cess and at last accounts the company operating it had extended their lines until there are now about twenty-five miles of road in the city. The company has secured @ franchise to operate the system in Vienna Innit the read carried Seti 1¢ 0003s e nearly Dir. Wright extibited's th print showing .

The rela- tive cost of building the eable or electric conduit road is about the The difter- ence Is in the cost of operatifig. If the elec- tric conduit system did not prove satisfac- tory it would be e@sy to put in a cable in the condujt. Mr. Wright sald he had put in about twenty cable roads im this country. ‘The cost of operating depends upon the mag- nitude of the passenger business. He thinks a cable would not pay on the F street line, owing to the length of the cable required and the number of curves in the road. The cable would wear out too soon, and it costs about twenty-f > cents per foot to replace. Mr. Wright said that he had made an esti- mate of a cable for the F street road sever- al years ago and had reported against it. ‘The traffic on that line is not sufficient to pay the interest on a cost of con- struction and the operating expenses. He had also reported against a cable on the th street line, both on account of the light traffic and the physical objections. A Superior System. Mr. Wright said he had adopted the Buda- Pesth system after careful examination by himself and his partner. He considered it far superior to the Love system of under- ground conduit. In the Love system they use a copper wire to conduct the electricity. ‘They put the trolley underneath the wire and hold it up with a spring. In the Buda-Pesth system the electricity is conducted on an angle-iron, and the shape of it is such that the troliey cannot power of stopping the cars under this sys- tem. He was told that it depends alto- es te eee ee ema. Mr. Coggswell asked if it would be pos- sible to run the cars of another over this line; for instance, if the Love company wanted to extend their lines so that It would be necessary to use the tracks of the F street line for a portion of the tance, could this be done. Mr. Wright it could not, owing to the difference in pewer required to propel the cars of two systems, the Love taking 500 volts this one only 30. Mr. Coggswell a the advisability of having two eso asked what advantages are tlajmed for this system over the cable. Mr. Wright replied that with an electric car curves can be more readily and there is not such Hability of total suspension of traffic owing to an accident. If the cable breaks the whole line stops, but if an elec- trie car breaks down the next car pusher 3 = — travel = not a In the electric system expenses of opera- tion fre more readily apportioned to the amount of the traffic. If the traffic ir small but few cars need be run, but with a cable there is a certain fixed expense connected with its operation, regardless of the amount of business done. Only Successfal System. Mr. Cooper asked what advantages are claimed for the Buda Pesth system over other electric conduit systems. Mr. Wright replied that up to the present time it is the only one that has carried passengers year fn and year out successfully. The Love system has worked in Chicago, but only soem npr sarn emg eee the Love system yet. In answer to a question from Mr. Bab- cock, Mr. Wright said that the climate of ec Pesth is cng than that = vashington, approaching more nearly tl climate of Chicago. In reply to a query from Chairman Heard, Mr. Wright said there is no doubt as to the amount of power furnished by this system. The power can be regulated easily, and the volume of it depends simply upon the amount of elec- tricity generated at the power house. It can yield more power than the cable sys- tem does. As to the time which would be required to put the road in operation on 9th street, Mr. Wright explained that the principal feature is in the preparation of the material. The road itself could be put in within seventy days and could be made ready for operation within a year from the passage of the bill authorizing it. ‘Mr. Heard asked more particularly about the guarantees for the faithful perform- ance of the work. Mr. Wright said that hi company is ready to make sufficient quar- antees to the Metropolitan Railroad Com- pany, and ff the road does not operate to the satisfaction of the company, he will take it out and put in the cable. Ready to Accept. Mr. Stephenson added that the Metropoli- tan Railroad Company had placed the mat- ter before its board of directors, and is now ready to accept the offer of Mr. Wright if Congress gives its consent. He is satis- fled that the system can be successfully operated, and is contented with the guar- antee of Mr. Wright. Mr. Cogswell asked Chairman Heard if a menanorengy Noe Proceeding to hear m~ [etropolitan road Company upon its request before the courts have decided whether It had forfeited its charter or not, for being in contempt of Congress? Mr. Heard replied that that question 1s another matter.
