TWO STEAMERS- CRASH AT SEA. SHE SHRIEKED FOR HELP. Bland will meet ex-Congressman Harter of Ohio in debate and discuss the rrioney question in the States of Ohio, Pennsylvania Senator Cockrell said the Democrats of Missouri had taken no uncertain stand on the currency question and1 are not in mood to brook further temporizing. They demand a straight out declaration in favor free s'lver and any other course means defeat. If Grover Cleveland is nominated the party will meet its Waterloo.

No other exponent of a gold standard can be elected -in his opinion. He refuses to discuss Pres idential possibilities cn the ground that It is too early and the chances of altered con ditions are too great. "That man Bvnum has been chasing around over in Indiana, said the Senator, "telling people that one of the Indianapolis banks has a surplus of a million dollars in gold, and that if free silver carries the day the bank officials will go out and buy million dollars' worth of silver, have it coined into two million of dollars, pay off their creditors with one million and make a million dollars profit. That is the kind of stories the gold men have been telling tne people. They don't seem to realise that as soon as a purchaser goes into the.

market to buy silver in any quantity sup'ply and de mand will bring up the price even it it am not go to par when free coinage became a law. "I am told that Secretary Carlisle said In his Memnhls speech that there are of gold in the country, and' that if free coinage of silver carrie.s this gold will be used to buy silver which will be coined into dollars and the gold men will navy just twice as much money as they have now. "I have mislaid the cony I had of Mr. Car lisle's SDeech and I have not been able to verify the story. I hone for Mr.

Carlisle's sake hat he has not been guilty of making any such absurd statements. The tning is ridiculous on its face and no thinking man would be misled by it for a minute. Just think of a demand for over worth of silver. The demand would cause a jump in the price, which would send silver above gold, and rtght there the gold-bugs' dream of riches to be so easily gained would end even if no other factors entered into the question. I reallv hope Mr, Carlisle did not sav such a thing.

Senator Cockrell will deliver a speech at the convention of the Missouri editors to morrow or Wednesday and will join Mr. Bland at the State convention at Pertle Snrintrs August 6. where both will speak. Mr. Bland will also address the editors at Sedalia.

FREE COINAGE BE8EFITS. Would Greatly Increase Exports from the United States. Special to the IVst-Dispatch. MEXICO CITY, July 22. The silver agitation in the United States is "much discussed in financial circles here.

A leading capitalist of this city, who has large financial connections in England and the United States, said to the Post-Dispatch correspondent to-cay: "The immediate effect of the United States becoming a free silver country would be felt by corporations owing gold in Europe and also by the Government, which has- a gold debt held abroad. These would be the sufferers at the outset of the transformation of the United States into a silver country "But the United States, having a wide range of cjimates and a varied production, are a self-supporting country, capable of feeding the immer.se population and of clothing it without going outside. And not being under the necessity of paying a heavy gold premium for many of the necessities of life, as is the case with some countries, on a silver basis the United States would adjust themselves to the new condition with comparative ease. i Without doubt the United States would become the- largest exporting country on the globe, having every export of manufactured products, would export to the very countries from which they now import very heavily. In this way the United States would" become a formidable competitor of Europe.

The cost of labor and of production would gradually be regulated by the value of the dollar in silver. "The advantage to be gained by celling agricultural products and manufactured goods (the cost of which would be paid in tnlver) to gold using countries, is the gain of the gold premium, which naturally would vary with the price of silver. There is no douot in my mind that products of all kinds would rapidly increase, just as in Mexico selling coftee abroad for gold, while the expenses of raising are paiu in silver, has increased the production five-fold in a few years. "Therefore I believe It would not be detrimental to the United States to become a silver standard country. There would be such an immense Increase in production and in the volume of business that the railways would gain in increased traffic what they would lose by having to pay their interest charges abroad in gold." SOLID FOB, SILVER.

Crisp Thinks Georgia May Be Counted lor Tree Coinage. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 22. Speaker Crisp, who is to sail for Europe Wednesday, is here with his son. "1 do not know much about politics," he said, for I have been away from home for several weeks." "Are you solid in Georgia on silver?" "We shall be when the convention is held, as far as free coinage is concerned.

I must, however, confess that the sentiment is becoming divided to some extent. The ty, I think, are for silver. I think that when the convention is held the Southern tier of States will be a unit on the subject." The Speaker declined discussing the presidential candidates, turning the subject aside by remarking: "I have heard some talk about a third term, but not much. The people seemed to have expressed themselves upon that subject." ATLANTA, July 22. Ex-Speaker Crisp did not attend the free silver convention at Griffin; nor did he send a letter, and his absence and silence caused considerable talk.

Judge Crisp yesterday, no doubt in response to telegrams which he received In Washington, makes the following statement from the capital: "The resolutions were conservative, and clearly state the position of. the bimetal-lists. I feel very sure that the only chance 1 for bimetallism lies in the Democratic party. If the result of the convention will bring back to the Democratic fold any of the people who are not acting with us, It will be a fortunate thing. "As I understand the matter, the convention was in the nature of a response to the gold Democrats, who held thir meeting at Memphis, and who inaugurated the method of inviting the friends of their side of the money question to unite with them.

I have no doubt that a majority of the people of Georgia favor a bimetallic standard, ilowever, we have no election, and it seems to me that the campaign is premature. But I am firmly convinced that when the people consider the question fully they will reach the conclusion that enduring prosperity is Impossible under a single gold standard. As soon as I get back I shall make a series of speeches." MISSOURI DEMOCRATS." County Committee Meetings and Conventions to Choose Delegates. Special to the 1'oKt-Dispateb. DEXTEK, July 22.

Sunday was one of the warmest days ex perienced in the East this summer. It was warm enough west of the Mississippi, but a regular record breaker at points on the Atlantic Coast. New York Cty was hotter than "blazes." The mercury began an ascent early In the day that resulted in several "over-heat" cases, and worried the Westerners summering in the neighboring resorts.

The thermometer in the afternoon registered 90, which is decidedly hot ror New York the highest mark of the season. At Boston the beans baked in the open air under the cruel beatings of old Sol. It was 94 there in the shade: at Pittsburg a hot wave pitched the mercury to 94. It was a little cooler Monday. At 6:30 a.

St. Leuis Crowd of Touir PeopI Got Too Noisy Across the River. Mrs. Lottie Chapman, of 1317 Olive street, chaperoned a furniture van load of young ladies and gentlemen across the Eads bridge into East St. Louis Saturday even ing on the way to a two days fishing ana picnic outing at a suburban lake.

It was after midnight when the merry party reached Broadway, and they had already ex hausted a generous supply or snaKe one preventives. This seems to have had the effect of adding much volume to their vocal organs, for as they dashed over East St. Louis thoroughfares there were very distinct sounds of revelry by night, all emanating from the throats of the furniture van occupants. The party created such a disturbance that two policemen on foot chased them several blocks, but the furniture van team won the race hands down. Late Sunday night, however, as the party was returning to St.

Louis, Officer Fltts was lying In ambush for them and succeeded in capturing the entire outfit, unloading the party at the police station, where they gave the following Mrs. Lottie Chapman, Misses Nellie Hayes, Welsh, Emma Lawson, Jennie. Marshall and Messrs. John Finan, Robert Wall, Otto Larouche, John Riley, Henry Smith, Michael Floer, Michael McCune and John Kennedy. Three of the prisoners, Millie Hayes.

John Finan and Robert Wall, gave bond for their aDDearance for trial, and the others occupied cells at the police station for the night. Charges of disturbing tne peace were lodged against them. This morning the whole thirteen were fined $5 and costs each by Justice Concannon. Chief Ganey is determined to break up the habit of a Bportlve element in St. Louis coming across the big bridge on picnic excursions Imbued with the idea that peaceable laws are not enforce after leaving the Mia- souri side.

NEW LOCATION, Nora Ercadv, Eel Oi'm mi tet Wounded While Hunting and Died To-Day in the Hospital. HIS CAREER OF CRIME. It Was He Who Gave the Information That Led to the Capture of the Glendale Train-Rohhers. George H. McFadden, a marked man in criminal circles, an ex-eonvict, an accomplice of the notorious Prentiss Tiller, and the man who put the St.

Louis Police Department on the track of Hedgepetk. and Slye, the Glendale train robbers, died aY3t. Marys Infirmary at 4 o'clock Monday morning. He shot himself accidentally in the abdomen with a cat-rifle at the Canteen Lake Sunday morning. He was on a hunting and fishing trip with a crowd of companions.

They were John L. Eilers, 28 years old, a bartender at 700 South Broadway; James R. Fristoe, a soda water manufacturer at Third and Chouteau avenue, and two boys who worked for Fristoe. Fristoe and Eilers were both examined by Deputy Coroner Gast, who began an inquest on the body at 11 a. m.

Both testified that they were not with McFadden at the time of the shooting, but that they saw him shortly afterwards, and that he told them he had shot himself accidentally. According to Eilers. he. McFadden and the two boys Fristoe on the lat-ter's wagon to a point about two and one-half miles northeast of East St. Louis, where Fristoe was to deliver some soda water.

McFadden took a cat rifle with htm to shoot birds. On arriving at their destina tion the party separated, McFadden going off with some friends he met there. About twenty minutes later the witness, who was with Fristoe. saw McFadden in a carriage with some friend. He said that he had been hurt, and addressing Fristoe, Baid: "Jim.

I am shot and I did it myself." He was taken to the house in the vicinity of a man named Allen And from there driven to St. Louis in a buggy. Fristoe's testimony tallied exactly with that given by Eilers. He stated that one of the men who claimed to have been with Mc Fadden when the latter was shot told him that the shooting was purely accidental. Accoramg to nis story Mct aaden was flitting on the ground with the rifle beside him.

A bird alighted near by and McFadden reached for his rifle to shoot it. In drawing the gun' towards him it was discharged and the ball took effect in his stomach. Neither of the witnesses heard of the deceased having a quarrel with any one while there. None of the persons who were with McFadden at the time of the shooting ara known to the police or Coroner. The inquest was continued indefinitely In the hopes that some of these persons can be located and their testimony taken.

McFadden was a barkeeper at Rots-child's saloon, Sixth and Elm streets. Fifteen years ago he assisted In concealing and helping out of St. Louis Prentice Tiller, the man who stole over $100,000 in speaie from the United States Express Company. He was sent to the penitentiary for his complicity in the crime. After his release he became a "go-between" for the police and was left unmolested.

He ran a rooming resort over a disreputable theater at Sixth and Elm, ran a variety theater at Fourth and Poplar and then drifted into bartending. He kept the police informed of the movements of crooks in the city and in. return was unmolested. McFadden attempted suicide several times. Once while in the penitentiary by drinking powdered glass and twice after by trying to shoot himself.

After the Glendale robbery he told the po lice that Hedgepeth and Slye, whom he had met in tne penitentiary, were In the city. He also told them that Hedgepeth had shipped her trunks to San Francisco under the name of "Fanny Waterman." This information led to the arrest of the gang. SCHEME OF' THE GOLD HEN. They Don't Want St. Louis Represented at the Pertle Springs Convention.

Away down deep under a bushel the light of the Francis gold standard Democrats was buried, but the Post-Dispatch en abled to expose it to view. To-night the Democratic City Central Committee will meet to consider the question of electing delegates to the State convention at Pertle Springs. The meeting will be held at the Produce Exchange, corner of Fourth and Franklin avenue. It is their intention concerning the action to be taken at this meeting that the gold standard men have acted under the rose. Their scheme is to have the City Central Committee vote to send no delegates to the convention, and thus be able to say that without the slightest interference on the part of the gold men St.

Louis did not take interest enough In the convention to send delegates. In an effort to accomplish this end Col. Tom Barrett and other henchmen of the top-story gold men have been out and hustling. Every member of the committee who has not taken a decided stand against the goia men has been seen and solicited to vote against holding mass-meetings or primaries. They have at tempted to secure a majority of the members of the committee and thus prevent St.

Louis from being represented at Pertle Springs. It is doubtful-now whether they will attempt to put through their resolution condemning the convention. In this they have evidently failed. Chairman Brady was confident Monday morning mac a majunty ui me committee would stand squarely with the silver men in spite of the threats and Importuning of the gold GRAND-JDRY REPORT.

GEN. CAMPOS' VICTORY. His Command of 1.20O Is Credited With Routing Insurgents. HAVANA, July 22. Dispatches received here from Mansanillo, Province of Santiago de Cuba, say that the Inhabitants of Mansanillo, as well as the Inhabitants of other towns of the neighborhood, are giving a warm welcome to Capt.

-Gen. Martinez de Campos In recognition of his victory over the Insurgents. The troops arrived safely at Mansanillo and were shortly afterwards dispatched to Bayamo, where they arrived without molestation. The news of the Captain-General's victory has been confirmed. With 1,200 troops he routed 6.000 Insurgents.

The insurgents left (00 dead and wounded on the battlefield. The Spanish torpedo boat Martin Flason baa arrived at Oibara from Spals. 0n Goes Down With 190 Persons on Board. ONLY FORTY-TWO RESCUED. Tha Ships Were Italian Vessels and Collided in the Gulf of Genoa.

GENOA, July 22. The Italian steamers Ortigia and Maria P. collided off Isela del Pint at the entrance to the Gulf of Genoa Sunday morning. The latter sank and 14S persons were drowned. There were 173 steerage passengers and seventeen of the crew, making a total of 190 persons on board the Maria P.

Of these only forty-two were saved. The Maria P. was bound from Naples to La Plata. She was calling en route to her destination. 8he was entering the Gulf of Genoa at 1:30 o'clock Sunday morning, when met the Otigia outbound.

They only noticed each other when a collision was inevitable. The bow of the Ortigia crashed into the starboard side of the Maria penetrating six yards and ripping up the Maria P. like kindling wood. The water rushed in through the hole and the Maria P. sank in three minutes.

The majority of the passengers were asleep at the time of the accident and had no time to escape after the alarm was given. The Ortigia remained on the spot until 6 o'clock and rescued fourteen of the passengers of the Maria P. Other steamers have been dispatched to the scene and are now searching for other survivors. The Ortigia's bow was smashed for a space of twelve feet along the water line. The Ortigia once collided at the same spot with the French steamer Uncle Joseph.

The Minister of Marine announced the news of the disaster at the sitting of the Chamber Sunday at Rome, and it caused a profound sensation. The Ortigia had twenty-five passengers on board. The Maria captain was named Ferrara. The Chamber has ordered an inquiry into the disaster. The sky was overcast at the time of the collision, and there was little sea.

Both captains were asleep and Third Officer Re-vello was on watch on the Ortigia and Second Officer D'Anglo was on watch on the Maria P. The Ortigia was going at the rate of eleven miles an hour and the Maria P. at the rate of eight miles an hour. Both vessels saw the lights of the other and continued on their proper roads until the mistake was made, it is not determined by whom, which brought the Maria P. broadside toward the Ortigia.

Third Officer Re-vello of the Ortigia saw the danger and or dered the engines reversed, but the order came too late and the Ortigia strucK tne Maria making an enormous gap in her side. All the boats of the Ortigia were low ered, and the crew rescued all tney couia of the survivors. Caut. Ferrara, who was saved, says he was sleeping in his cabin when he was awakened by cries and shouts and a great noise. He rushed upon deck and saw "the Ortigia backing while his own ship was sinking.

Seeing that all was lost he jumped into the sea, where he was picked op by th Ortigia's boat. Second Officer D'Anglo of the Maria who was on watch on that ship, was drowned. Among the saved is a child. 8 years old. who is the only survivor of a family of seven, who went down with the ill-fated bhip.

The wife, brother and son of Capt. Ferrara of the Maria P. were drowned. FOUR KILLED. Carriag8Run Down at a Railway Cross ing1 in Massachusetts.

THE STILLWELL TRAGEDY. Mrs. Kayvrard Will Go Before the Grand-Jury at Hannibal. Special to The Post-Dispatch.

HANNIBAL, July 22. There was nothing done here to-day in the way of taking depositions in the Hearne-De Young libel suit. Judge Kendrick, counsel for the plaintiff. has not yet returned from Chicago; but he is expected here to-night. Dr.

Hearne and wife arrived here yesterday, ana l-ion. George A. Mahan, counsel for the defendant, returned this morning. Mr. Mahan says the deposition of Mrs.

Susie Hay-ward was very satisfactory to the defend ants, but that she is a very nervous lady and hesitated to testify. In fact, she did not tell all she knows in this case, but she will probably do so before the Grand Jury. It. H. Stillweli ana wire nave not yet returned from Chicago and it is prettty generally believed that Miss Susie Hayward will accompany tnem nome ana go uireci before the Grand-jury and tell all she knows without reserve.

The Grand-jury may be called together at any time. Dr. Hearne says that ne win taxe tne depositions of from ten to twenty-five persons In Hannibal and he proposes to go to the very bottom of the affair. He says that he is innocent of the murder of Amos J. Still-well and he is getting very tired of resting under that odium.

He thinks that if he should be indicted by the Grand-jury and the case tried in the courts that he would be able to establish his innocence. Judging from his actions one would infer that he rather wishes to be indicted. Mr. Mahan says that he is ready to combat any evidence that the plaintiff may bring out and to-day he seemed to be jubilant over his Chicago trip. The plaintiff has not yet had any subpoenas issued, and no one knows who the witnesses will be.

It is thought that the taking of depositions will be resumed Tuesday morning. GETTING AT THE FACTS. Richard Stillweli Looks for Further Important Developments. CHICAGO, July 22. Speaking of the prob ability of an Indictment in the Stillweli murder, Richard H.

Stillweli said yesterday: "Since the taking of these depositions has been in progress people have Just begur to tell what they know, and by the time the Grand Jury meets on August 17 there may be some important additional developments. It seems to be the general opinion that there will be an Indictment." Mrs. Havward says she is ready and will ing to do anything in her power to unravel the Stillweli murder mystery. In Mrs. Hay ward's deposition she stated that she did not tell It.

H. Stillweli that Dr. Hearne was undressed in Mr. Stillweli home the night Mr. Stillweli returned so unexpectedly from St.

Louis. This is true. She told her brother-in-law, C. 1. Hayward, and he told Mr.

Stillweli. It is now said that she will cheerfully go before the Grand Jury ikuu leu an sue Knows oi tne case. THE DEFENDER IK THE LEAD. Promises to Beat the Vigilant Worse Than on Saturday. A STIFF BREEZE BLOWING.

The Race Is Over a Thret-Legged Course, a Total Distanct of Thirty Miles. Highiands 3 p. m. The Defender wins. Time, 3:44:20.

NEW YORK. July condir tions- for yachting were much more favorable than those prevailing At Sandy Hook at 8 o'clock the breeze was fourteen miles an nour, wina wesi, overcast, atmosphere clear, with indications of a haze. Vigilant, after having her five-ton center-board cleaned by a diver as she lay at anchor yesterday, was off the Hook bright and early, her crew trying her sails in the breeze. Defender, which has also been overhauled for the correction of defects made apparent in Saturday's race, was later in going down the bay. Having hoisted anchor at Bay Ridge she was towed to open water bv the tug Aiftoou.

The course to-day is a triangular one. each leg being ten miles. The start was cat Sanrlv Hnnk lie-htshin or Scotland lightship, as the weather conditions at the hour ot 11 were to neivrmine. At 11 o'clock, the time set for the start, the yachts were not quite ready. Both were maneuvering for advantage.

After the warning signal, fired at 11:14, and when both boats maneuvered, the gun for the start was fired. At 11:24 Defender was in best position. At 11:24:30 she swept over the starting line and Vigilant, chasing her eagerly, made her formal start at 11:25:10, or about 40 seconds behind the leader. Just before the two boats went, across the line they broke out their balloon jib top sails. Defender seemed first to gain by his movement.

The great racers being thus started, the excursion fleet and pleasure craft hurried off with them, keeping well to leeward. Both yachts were carrying main sail, club top sail, jib and stay sail. The sky was cloudy and the wind was west, southwest, about twelve miles an hour. At 11:33 Defender's crew sent up her balloon jib, and at that time she was increasing the distance between herself and "Vigilant at the start. The sails on each boat were drawing well, and those' of Defender fitted her more exactly thaa they did In the race of Saturday.

At 11:38 as seen from Far Rockaway Defender was gaining slightly and appeared to be leading Vigilant by a minute and twenty-two seconds. Five minutes later, observed from Long Island, lost the two boats from view as they sailed oft straight into the ocean southeastward. At 11:45 nearly half of the first leg of the course appeared to have been sailed. Defender had nearly, if not quite a mile of water between her and the Vigilant. At 11:52 It was clear by the way they were sailing and by the direction of the wind that the contest of the day would be an excellent test of the reaching qualities of the contending yachts.

Vigilant was a trifle more tender than Defender. At 1:02, unofficial time. Defender rounded the turning point at the end of the first ten miles. Two minutes and eighteen seconds later Vigilant came around the stake boat. HIGHLANDS OF NAVESINK, 10:55 a.

HIGHLANDS, 1:45 After the two boats rounded the first mark they stood in on the starboard tack toward the Jersey coast and made one long leg of about twenty minutes The course is evidently to be in the mark boat close under the Jersey shore in the neighborhood of Asbury Park, as the wind has shifted a little more to the south-westward.

The Defender is well to the windward. Ihey both have gone about again and are in the port tack. 1:46 Defender and Vigilant have both gone about on port tack, heading southwest. Defender is inncreasing her lead slightly. HIGHLANDS, 2 p.

CHICAGO, July 22. Mrs. Rossaelle Big-doge, wife of a Pullman workman, was fatally shot in the presence of her family to-day by Gigonelee Calineonea, a brick yard foreman, who immediately afterwards blew out his brains and fell dead upon the body of his victim. The shooting resulted from a quarrel over a few dollars which Mrs. Biedoge's husband owed Calineonea.

The latter called at the woman's house today and asked if she could pay him. She answered that she could not get the money at once and Calineonea, drawing a revolver and pushing the children aside, cried dramatically: "Then you will have to die." A son sprang to the aid of the mother, but before he reached her the intruder sent two shots into her body and, placing the weapon between his teeth, drove a bullet through his head.

About 12:30 this afternoon a woman raised a window sash in one of the upper rooms of the Laclede Hotel, facing on Sixth street, and created a sensation by cries for police and help. Officer Quigley was near by at the time and he ru3hed to the rescue.

"Just what the trouble was could not be ascertained beyond the fact that Quigley came out of the hotel in a few minutes escorting a large sized man who is said to be J. W. Turner, a guest of the hotel, from Nashville, Tenn. He was taken to the Four Courts, and a few minutes later the woman who called for police came down stairs and went in the drug store with a gentleman friend. She was weeping and refused to say anything about the row.

Around the hotel it was said she is Turner's wife. A brother of the woman is mixed up In the affair. He came into the Laclede at noon, looked over the register and then went to the room occupied by Turner and the woman who had been registered as Mrs. Turner. There was a fight in the room and revolvers were drawn.

It was then that the woman threw open the window and called for the police. All of the parties went to the Four Courts and were taken into Capt. O'Malley's private office. Turner is a traveling man for T. S.

Green of Woodbury, N. J. His wife has made her home here in St. Louis for several years past with the family of her brother, named Hewitt. When her husband comes to town she lives with him at the Laclede Hotel.

Turner has been on a big spree for the past week and this morning, in a drunken frenzy, he drew a revolver on her. She ran screaming from the room and telephoned for her brother. When he arrived Turner threatened to kill him. The woman stuck her head out of a window and called loudly for help. Officer Quigley responded and placed Turner under arrest.

The scene occurred in room 21 on the- second floor over the ladies' entrance. After her husband's arrest Mrs. Turner and her brother went to the Four Courts. She told Capt. O'Malley that Turner had been threatening her life for years and she intended suing him for divorce.

Mrs. Turner has been a patient of Dr. Harvey S. Mudd for several years past, in fact has lived in St. Louis expressly to be treated by him.

This angered Turner, as the following letter will show: LACLEDE HOTEL, July 22. Dr. Harvey Mudd: You are a scoundrel. I dare you to meet me upon any kind of ground you may mention. I mean business.

DR. JOHN W. TURNER. Dr. Mudd says that he was with Mrs.

Harvey said he had been called on by letters and telegrams to give statements by Blaine, Ingalls and others concerning the demonetization act. He said that the words at his disposal in the debate would not admit of it. Taking up Mr. Horr's eulogy of Senator Morrill, delivered on Saturday, he charged that Senator Morrill erred in saying that no silver dollars had been coined for forty years prior to 1873. Mr.

Harvey read from the report of the Director of the Mint showing that silver dollars in greater or less amounts had Deen comea nearly every vear. The fact was that Mr. Morrill was a bank stockholder with a bank stockholder's prejudices. He called on Mr. Horr to explain.

Mr. Horr said that Mr. "Morrill had not meant to say that not a dollar had been coined, but that none to speak of had been. Mr. Harvey in his book had made a mistake, and a bad one, in stating the amount or sliver which had been coined aurljig tue jue oi ine o-overnment.
