Lord Salisbury did not complete bis holiday abroad after alL He was to have returned to-day, but Tuesday be privately crossed the Chancel by the least traveled route and went without observation through to Hatfield, where his secretaries were awaiting him with dispatch boxes. It was not till the evening oC the- next day. after he had put in a long and arduous day's work at the Foreign Office, that it became known that he was iu England at all. The next day Goschen- returned from Switzerland quite as prematurely, and was closeted all day at the Admiralty or with Salisbury. These signs of urgency naturally gave rise to rumors that the situation abroad had assumed a grave character, and bred a circumstantial report that there would be an emergency Cabinet meeting early next week.

This is now denied, but the public uneasiness is by no means allayed. As regards the immediate situation at Constantinople, matters seem less alarming than they were. An understanding exists In various quarters" that the Sultan has conceded to the combination of all the six powers moat of the things which he deemed it safe to refuse to the original three intervening powers. The Armenians who were huddled in various Stambou' churches have, after being scolded sharply by their foreign diplomatic protectors, gone home again, and, thus far, no news of' their being worse for It has reached us. Unfortunately, we have passed the stage, however, when press statements of what does happen to them can be at all relied on.

The correspondents at Constantinople are sending what their papers want for political purposes at home, and It is impossible not to see that the tales of massacre, torture, and hideous atrocities piled up by Armenian sympathizers are largely made to order. From the fairest observers we get a general Impression that the Turkish police have behaved very well, except In one instance, where' their vlo- lence inside a prison to Armenian captives is explained by the assertion that the latter were armed and resisted forcibly. As to the unofficial bloodshed, the Armenians were the original aggressors, and the Moslem population had been told for months that the Armenian secret societies' were armed and preparing for riots, and acted accordingly when the riot came. Both sides represent a state of civilization not at all ours, and they fight with much natural brutality, but a dozen of the world's great Christian cities could be named which witnessed in our day equally bloody combats, accompanied by Infinitely greater disasters to those not actively engaged In the row. However.

It Is taken for granted that there will be no recurrence.of this particular form of disorder. Interest centres rather on tho development of the differences between Russia and England. That they have any common ground for working together nobody now believes. Everything, oa the contrary, is showing now what rhese dispatches have Insisted Upon from the beginning, that their ostensible partnership is nonsense Their interests are antipodal, and now that the whole Turkish question stands re- opened, their mock relations to each other must give way to real ones. This rearrangement has really been immensely facilitated by the Stamboul riots.

These compelled the Triple Alliance to Interfere and Join the other powers in common-representation to the Porte. When this party of six separates I fancy It will be found that England has shifted her position, and has retired "by one door "with Germany. Austria, and Italy, while Russia and France have passed out through the other door. This, at least. Is what 'the immense majority of Englishmen are hoping for Mine.

Novikoffs reappearance In London, writing saucy letters to the Radical 'papers, strikes every one as an Important slga of the times. This curious lady may not have any deliberately provocative mission, but she always turns up at a Juncture when Russia's policy comes Into sharp conflict with England's, as In 1875 and again in lSh5, and she writes articles more ingeniously calculated to set John Bull's teeth on edge than anything else one can magine In types. This time she mocks, taunts, and derides the English with a peculiarly free tongue. They do not exhibit anger as tt. but they give aa evidence of their perception of the fact that It la Intended they should get angry, which perhaps more significant.

Naturally, the French for the moment re thinking of nothing but the culmlna-v tion of the Madagascar campaign, over which they had grown extremely depressed and unhappy. There will still be some bitter words in the Chamber about the gross mismanagement and th cruel waste of life, but it Is no longer thought that the Ribot Ministry is in peiiL discussion as to what France will do with the Island that It now has monopolizes the attention of the Paris press. The so-. ShUed eolfrhiaj group of politicians are not unlikely in the end to have their own way in this matter as they had In starting- the expedition. Their Idea seems to be to declare a protectorate not specially different from annexation, set up a dummy King the person of a Hova Prince of the Rhadama branch of the royal am-11 who was educated in Paris as a Catholic, and Institute a Government which will keep Protestant missionaries and merchants equally at arm's length.

Already It is Insisted that the commerce of the Island must be the monopoly of French traders. The big shipping towns. Marseilles, and Toulon, are celebrating the conquest of Antananarivo with Illuminations and banquets on the explicit understanding that they are to control the Incidental commerce and have no competition with the English, Americans, Germans, and Norwegians to fear, and the Clerical Party is rejoicing with quite as much feryor that the Protestant missionaries in the Island are to receive their conge. The few cynics, like Clemenceau and Rochefort, who say that this Is only the beginning of a terrible, costly and futile adventure, get no The King of Portugal, who la on a tour of various Courts with the view of raising money on his African possessions, will be the first Roman Catholic sovereign visiting Rome since 1870. Others have kept away owing to the-impossibility of being received at both the Qulrlnal and the Vatican.

There are rumors now that he is to abandon his project on the same ground, and other rumors that he is to go and find both palaces open to him, which would be very significant of a changed policy at the Vatican. Although there had been a good deal of muttering in the past few weeks in the shipbuilding trade, nobody seems to have believed that there would be serious trouble, and the strike at Belfast is in the nature of a surprise. It Is an extremely unwelcome surprise, too, for it threatens a good deal more than a mere local industrial dislocation. For once, there Is practically a' universal feeling that the strikers are behaving badly. They have been earning excellent wages and were treated Irreproachably in other respects, and their demand for an increase of wages, simply because there is a temporary flurry of activity in shipyards comes distinctly under the head of trades union blackmail.

Unless they come to their senses very soon they will work a lasting Injury to Belfast, where the shipbuilding industry 'has been slowly built up by the energy and courage of employers like Harland. Wolff, and a few others into Importance. But a dead-lock of a month o' two will suffice to undo the work of years. It Is not forgotten that a big and flourishing industry in shipbuilding on the Thames, in East London, was completely smashed by a similar idiotic strike, and there Is a not unnatural terror lest a sympathetic movement' spread to operatives In the great Clyde and Tyneside yards, which would mean the total paralysis of shipbuilding In these Islands. Thus far, opinion In Glasgow and Newcastle leans to the belief that sober counsels will prevail in the unions, but the younger hotheads are eager for a struggle, and the danger that they will stampede the unions is still considerable.

The fact that this insensate trouble comes Just at the time when England is more deeply Involved abroad than it has been for years, and when the English people are anxiously discussing their ability to preserve command of the seas In case of war, makes it all the harder to bear with patience. To cripple the British shipyards at such a nervous Juncture as this seems like treason, as well as folly, and even if nothing grave comes of it. It will be remembered here in England against the Belfast operatives for a long while. They will hear from it when they next get up Orange riots to show how superior Ulster is to the rest of Ireland. The English people know of the Sack-vllle-Bayard incident only what has been reflected "back from the American press.

No paper here. It seems, has seen the pamphlet, much less printed any of It. Several members of the foreign embassies here tell me that they have seen it and looked it over, but the idea that It created any excitement in diplomatic circles is not well founded. Lord Sackville was never an intellectual luminary, but since his return from America he has developed into a moody, unpleasant fellow who spends most of his time in the country wrangling with tenants and suspiciously scrutinizing his agents' accounts. He rarely comes to town, and is avoided as a nuisance when he does.

Nothing that he might say could possibly Injure Bayard, whose social popularity here is as great as is his public repute at home. Not only his diplomatic colleagues, but his most influential English friends, will, I am told, advise Bayard to pay no attention whatever to the thing. Monoure D. Conway used to enjoy considerable popularity among a certain class of Londoners who liked to describe themselves as ethical, but latterly these have wandered off after younger and breezier prophets, and he finds himself decidedly a back 'number. He Is making a stout effort to recover his lost ground by means of the Anti-Lynching Committee, of which he Is the moving spirit and which he gets together as.

often as possible, to pass resolutions which get printed In the papers along with the fact that he presided. The latest of these rather ingeniously utilizes the prevalent excitement about Armenian matters to excuse Its appearance. It says that the effect of the American sympathy with the Armenians was greatly weakened by the participation of persons of their own race In the burnings, shootings, hangings, mutilations, flaylngs, and dragging by the neck on the ground until choked to death by the dust cf the street, which are characteristics of torture practiced In America." I quote this rigmarole verbatim as an illustration of what Conway thinks can be useful to him In his business. Englishmen csn hardly be blamed for their Impertinent Ignorance about America when they get this sort of guidance from educated Americans. The marriage of the Marquis of Worcester, who Is nearly fifty years old and has always been regarded as a confirmed old bachelor, has fluttered all the aristocratic dovecotes.

If he have a son. it will cut out hi nephew, young Henry Somers Somerset, author of The Land of the Muskeg." and the son of Lady Henry Somerset, who has-been' brought up as the eventual heir to the Dukedom of Beaufort and who la well known in America. Prof. Skeat started a subscription nearly two years ago to raise a fund to endow a lectureship of English Literature at Cambridge, which that university, though strong on German, and other literatures, for some mystic reason never had. He reports now that he has $5,500 and wants to raise the sum to $8,000," which will suffice to give $250 a year, which is a quarter of what other lectureships are paid, but will he thinks, be better than nothing.

He says that he attributes his comparative failure to the, fact that English literature is a subject which excites no general enthusiasm, like the classics, science, and cricket. It had been lightly supposed that Col. North had. touched the top notch of vulgarity which a British navvy returned enriched from foreign parts could hope to attain. It is recognized now that Barney Barnato.

with his added touch of Semitic genius, makes the Colonel seem paltry with respectability by comparison. This Kafir millionaire is dally giving London fresh marvels of barbaric boldness to talk about. He appeared In person on the stage of Drury Lane the other night. In the mining field scene of Cheer. Boys.

Cheer." grinning like John L. Sullivan at a benefit. Yet. while the Kafir boom is on. Dukes are glad to have him to dinner, and even Princes find him to their taste.

There is a good deal of difference of opinion as to the result of next week's settlement on African mining shares. A certain lot of weak people will be hurt, but some who ought to know think that the outcome will be a recovery of prices from the slump that they underwent. This week's Economist names twelve stocks which showed a total shrinkage in valuation of $110,000,000 Thursday over the nine days before, over $20,000,000 of which are In Barnato's Bank and Bar-nato's consols alone, and takes a rather dubious view of the future, but The Statist thinks that the market Is in a healthier state in consequence, and looks for a recovery. Astley Cooper writes to me that he is assured by the Edinburgh, Aberdeen. Durham, and Wales Universities and Owens College that the American intercollegiate athletic challenge was not communicated to them this year by Oxford and Cambridge, but they all desire to participate in the British-American university contest next year.

H. F. TO PUSH THE STATE CAMPAIGN Several Democratic Moss Meetings Will Be Arraujred for in This City Committee to Meet Tuesday. Tuesday will mark the beginning of an active and aggressive campaign in behalf of the Democratic State ticket. Most of the arrangements of the.

managers win be completed by that dajvandTueday night, the State Committee will meet at the headquarters'. 27 Madison Avenue, and start the ball rolling. From that time on there will be no let up. Two or three big mass meetings will be arranged for this city. A good idea of the progress of the campaign throughout the State will be gained by the managers from the State Committeemen.

The State Committee will be a better distributor, of information this year than ever before, for now it Js made up of a representative from each of the Senate districts of the State, instead of from each of the Congress districts. The campaign in the metropolitan district Is already booming in a very satisfactory way. Reports from Kings County as to the State ticket are of a most satisfactory character, and the same can be said of the reports from this city. It Is a most hopeful sign that in the cities that usually roll up the Democratic majorities there are no Democrats who object to the ticket. Chairman Hinkley of the Democratic State Committee went to his home in Poughkeepsie yesterday to spend Sunday.

He will return to-morrow. Norton Chase of Albany. Democratic candidate for Attorney General, arrived in this city last night, and will remain here a few days. When asked by a reporter for The New-York Times about the outlook in Albany County, he said: The Democratic Party in AlbanyVToun-ty was never In as good condition in my recollection as it is this year. All factional lines are eliminated, and the party is working in harmony.

In only one of the wards of Albany are there two Democratic candidates running for Supervisors and Aldermen. This is an almost unheard-of thing in Albany. The local ticket, headed by John Boyd Thacher for Mayor, is supported by all Democrats. We will certainly elect our Senator, and probably three Assemblymen. All Democrats are hard at work for the State ticket." There will be a meeting of all the candidates on the Democratic State ticket in this city Tuesday.

MORMONS DESIRE REPUBLICAN SUCCESS Joirph F. Smith Makes aa Attack oa ttsh's Democratic Candidates. Salt Lake Ott. Utah, Oct. 12.

A sensation in political circles has been sprung by Joseph F. Smith, one of the first Presidents of the Mormon publicly censuring Moses Thatcher, Democratic nominee for the United States Senate, and B. H. Roberts, Democratic nominee for. Congress.

President Smith's criticism was made at a priesthood meeting during the recent conference. He censured the two nominees because they had not asked counsel cf the Church before accepting the nominations. The Democrats construe it as an attack on their party, and as an evidence that the Church desires the success of the Republican Treeble over a MlUieaalre'e Will. Pocohkkkpsxjc, N. Oct.

BOTH THE KEEPERS OXDEB ARREST -Charge! with the Murder of the Lunatic by a Coroner's 'Jury and Held Without Ball to Answer. MoKRirrowK, Oct. IX Henry Convery and William Mack, who until early this morning were In the employ of the State Hospital for the Insane, at Morris Plains, as keepers, are now locked up in the county jail at this place on the charge of murder.

Nicholas Dolfux, a pauper patient from Passaic County, who had been In the institution for some time, lies dead' at the asylum as the result of a terrible beating which the two men in prison are alleged to have given him. i Dolfux was about sixty years old. and very little la known about him In the Institution. His mental delusions were of such a character aa to make him violent at times, and he was anything but a tractable patient, breaking the rules whenever the opportunity for doing so presented Itself. He was unusually violent this morning, and refused to go to the table for his breakfast.

While making his rounds the Inspector of Corridors saw the two keepers. Convery and Mack, beating old man Dolfux. and he discharged the men on the spot. It is an imperative rule at the Institution to Immediately discharge any keeper who Is found guilty of abusing the Inmates, or even of being uncivil to them in a very marked degree, and the Supervisor found ample reason for enforcing the rule In the conduct of Convery and Mack. Immediately after discharging the two keepers, the Supervisor went to the office of Medical Director Dr.

B. D. Evans, and Informed him of what he had seen and of the action he had taken. His' course in the matter was Indorsed by the Medical Director, and the Supervisor went to the dining room. There he noticed that Dolfux was not at the table, although he had started for there after he had been rescued from the two keepers who were beating him.

Inquiries after the old man failed to elicit any Information as to his whereabout, and the Supervisor went to his room. There he saw Dolfus lying on his bed. The old man was dead. Physicians were summoned, but they could do nothing. The Inspector immediately began an Investigation into the case, and found by questioning several patients that the two keepers, after being discharged, and after the Supervisor had gone to the office of the Medical Director to report the case, had again attacked the old man and beat him brutally.

As the keepers had not yet left the Institution, the police were notified, and the men were taken Into custody, charged with killing Dolfux. Immediately after the arrest' of the ex-keepers Coroner Douglas of this was notified of the death, of Dolfus, gave Undertaker Hughson permission to remove the body. It was brought "here from the asylum, and a Jury impaneled. An examination of the body of- the dead man showed an abrasion of the chest, which might have been caused by a kick, and a big gash back of the left ear. After viewing the body, the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the man 'came to his death from wounds Inflicted by Convery and Mack.

The officials of the asylum were fully exonerated from all complicity or blame in connection with the killing of Dolfux. When the verdict was given. Coroner Douglas notified the accused men that he would hold them without ball to await the action of the proper authorities. The asylum officials are very much exercised over the affair, and say that It is the first time in the history of their administration that any such thing has occurred. They say that they will do-everything In their power to see that the two ex-keepers get their full deserts.

MR. ISELI.VS TELESCOPE STOLES Thieves Paying Freaueat Visits to New-Rocbelle Hoaseaw New-RochkllS, N. Oct. 12. Adrian Iselln, has offered $25 reward for the return of a brass telescope marked Bardou, Paris.

The telescope was stolen, Mr. Iselln thinks, last Wednesday. Mr. Iselln has been accustomed to keep the telescope lying in a stand on the veranda of his house at Davenport's Neck, which commands a fine view of Echo Bay and Long Island Sound. The telescope, during the Summer months, was in almost daily use, when the Defender lay off Premium Point.

It had been used but little recently, but It was allowed to remain as usual on Its stand on the veranda. The the telescope recalls several other thefts that have taken place recently In New-Rochelle and vicinity. It Is thought that whoever took the telescope landed on the beach. The grounds are extensive, and it Is thought strange that any one could have traversed their length without being discovered by some of the servants. Mr Iselln said he had had the telescope several years, and that he valued It highly.

He Stole a College Telescope. Lxwiston, Oct. 12. In the Supreme Court at Auburn to-day Leon Hutchlns was sentenced to two years in State prison for the larceny of the Bates College telescope.

IX The' killing of one man In the Poydras Market and the probable fatal Injury of another form the gruesome nequel to the assassination of Chief of Police Hennessey and the lynching of eleven Italians four years ago.

One of the bitterest prosecutors of the Italians on their trial for the murder of Hennessey was Dennis On the day of the lynching he was one of the first to enter the prison with a gun In his hand, and he has a number of times since boasted with satisfaction of the work his gun did that day. Corcoran was sitting at a coffee stand In the Poydras Market at o'clock this morning, when Tony Levis and Tony Fulca passed behind him, and. without warning, Levla shot Corcoran in the back and again In the arm. emptying his weapon. Corcoran wheeled about, -drew a revolver, and returned the fire, and a terrible duel ensued.

Fulca handed Levla a second pistol when the first had been emptied, and Corcoran was wounded six times. On of Corcoran' bullets penetrated his assailant's breast, and Levla died in three minutes. Corcoran is desperately wounded, but may live. A SI56 SIXU PRISONER ESCAPE? Frank M. Decker, an Exemplary Convict, Abased His Privileges Reward of $50 for His Capture.

Sina Simo. N. Oct. 12. Frank M.

Decker, a convict sentenced to Sing Sing Prison Aug. 16, 1893,. for four years and three months, on a charge of grand larceny. In New-York City, escaped frorrivhe prison to-night. Decker, who was one of the exemplary prisoners, was employed doing odd Jobs about the Warden's house aa a servant.

The State allows such prisoners to work In the kitchen, laundry, dining and garden of the Warden's private premises, adjoining the prison. Decker was last seen at 7 o'clock tonight, after dinner was. served. When the guards counted the convicts in the cells. Decker was found to be missing.

He had hardly been away from the prison an hour before his absence was discovered. Warden Sage was notified, and he at once sent out armed guards to search the river front, the Interior of the village, and the surrounding towns. Capt. an gin of the Yonkers police Chief Foley of Mount Vernon, and the New-York police were notified by telephone. A reward of Sfit) has been offered for the capture of Decker.

This is the first escape from the prison during Warden Sage's administration. Decker's wife lives at 428 West Twenty-sixth Street. New-York. The prison authorities say she recently got a divorce from her husband. KILLED OS THE ELEVATED R0AP Frederick IL Kelham's Mysterious Death-He Had Been Drinking for Some -Time with a Friend.

Frederick K. Kelham. a young who lived at 1C0 West Ninety-second Street. was found, dead at 5:30 o'clock yesterday morning on the elevated railroad track In' front of 317 West Fifty-third Street, which Is about ISO feet west or the elevated station at Eighth. Avenue and Fifty-third Street.

The body was first noticed by. Conductor Hammond, who was in of a downtown train. When his train got to the Fifty-third Street station. Hammond shouted to the gateman on the up-town station a body was on the up-town track. The next train going north was In charge of Conductor Habucken.

He -was told -of the body and stopped his train. The men on his train picked up the body add It was then taken to the West Forty-seventh Street Police Station. The identity of the man was revealed by the papers found on his person. The body was not mangled, but the chin was crushed as if It had been dealt a severe Wow. There were no evidences of the accident on the train preceding Habucken's train, and the men aboard knew nothing of any accident.

The arrived at by the police and elevated road officials is that Kelham must have fallen from the station platform and was then dragged along the track to he spot where his body was found. Whether he was killed by a train or by a fall has yet to be determined. Upon the dead man was found a card bearing the name of Blssell B. Palmer, a dentist at 832 Seventh Avenue. Dr.

Palmer was sent for, and he positively IdentlOed the body by a gold-filled tooth. William Kennedy of Broadway and Fifty-third Street said that he and the dead lawyer were together drinking until nearly 1 clock yesterday morning. In a at the corner of Broadway and Fifty-third Street. They parted company, he said, in front of the saloon, and Kelham walked through Fifty-third Street, ostensibly to board an elevated train for-home, at the Eighth Avenue station. The elevated road employes think that- Kelham must have staggered off the platform and fallen beside the track.

According to Dr. Kennedy, the unfortunate young man came originally from Boston and bad been in New-York only two years. He lived at 10 West Ninety-second Street, with his widowed mother and a brother. He was a Harvard graduate, and took a course In law at Columbia College. Before being admitted to the bar, he served for a time with a firm of lawyers.

He had an office until a few days ago at 140 Nassau Street, but he changed from there to a building in Nassau Street, near Wall. The police made no arrests irv the cave. Funeral services will be held to-morrow afternoon, and the body will be taken to Manchester. for Interment. LAUKIEBE'S CHECK WAS A FORGERY It Bore the ladoreesneat of Bloaat A Co- This City.

The sweet strains of a woman's voice singing operatic airs caused a crowd to gather about the West Thirty-seventh Street Police Station but night. Never before had such melody been heard In that neighborhood. Inside the station, encircled by a cor don of admiring policemen, who flocked from the section room, attracted by the sweet singing, stood a pretty woman, apparently about twenty-five years ok attired la well-worn clothes, with a sad, sweet face, which every now and then lit up with-an enthusiastic smile as she reached a climax In her song. had a generous repertoire of operatic airs, and when she would begin one she would take her place opposite one of the policemen and go through the song with all the manerlsms of a prima donna.

The rent became due, but Dr. Sullivan, knowing Keknatoff history," was lenient with him, and allowed him to retain his room.

According to the doctor, the couple have frequently gone two and three days without food being. too proud to beg or to let their neighbors know of their unfortunate condition. The young wife, a few days ago. began to show signs of insanity. She began to act strangely, and 'at last grew so demonstrative that her husband was reluctantly Induced to agree to her removal to the hospital.

The Princess became so violent last even-' ing that tt was necessary to act quickly; The doctor and the Prince coaxed her to accompany them to the West Thirty-seventh Street Police Station, where an-ambulance was telephoned for. A kind neighbor, learning of their condition early In the day, gave the Prince a few dollars, which he wanted to spend last night on a coach to convey his wife to the hospital, remarking that he could not bear to have her taken in an ambulance. Dr. Sullivan persuaded him to keep the money, remind' ing him that he would need It, probably, for other purposes. -The Princess was taken to the.

IX Secretary Carlisle was the guest of honor at tho dinner of tho Massachusetts. Reform Club this evening. He was greeted with applause when be rose to speak. and his remarks were repeatedly Interrupted with evidences of approval. His utterances were accepted as la a sense: forecasting the' financial recom-mondatlons which the Administration will lay before Congress In December.

Viewed In this light, the Secretary's remarks aro highly significant, for they are outspoken la opposition to silver, and equally so' In favor of at once retiring the outs Landing Treasury) notes, thus taking the Treasury out of tho banking business. Secretary la thanking the Reform Club for selecting sound currency as the subject for his remarks, and complimenting those Bostonlans who, irreapectlva of politics, bad, la, the mart critical period or business deposited In the Trees ury. declared that the apprehension that our currency might bo debased by tho in billty of the Government to continue the, policy of redeeming Its obligations In gokt has already produced one of the greatest financial disturbances, that ever occurred Us our history, and revulted la tho loss o( thousands of millions of dollars to our people. Continuing, Mr. Carlisle said: There were doubtless other causes coo- trlbutlng to this result, but this was the most potent one In this country, and with out It we would never have suffered morel than other parts of the world from the gen era! depression.

What would have been th consequences If these' apprehensions had! proved If the Government In fact, been unable, or unwilling, to maintain, the equal exchangeable value of ail forms) of currency In the bands of the people, no man can tell: but that they have been most disastrous nearly every wel Unformed man now concedes. Fortunately, one of the causes which contributed largely to produce a feeling of distrust and apprehension and which very greatly Intensified that feeling at all stages of our long financial struggle, has substantially ceased to exert any7 Influence over the minds of the people here or abroad. I mean the persistent and aggressive agitation In favor of the free coinage of legal-tender silver, which, for a lone time, seriously thseatened to revolutionlxa our monetary system and reduce our entire? volume of currency to about half. Its present value. do.

not mean, to assert thai there was 'ever a time when there was real danger that this would be. done, but there) were times when the sentiment In its favor was so strong and so aggressive In lt character that there were at least reasonable grounds for the fear that li might be, and reasonable grounds or sucha ear upoa the part ot Investors' abroad, who could not "be. expected fully, to understand the actual sUuatloa here; the free-coinage movement ia (ost Its momentum, and Is no longer fori mldable or It Is pa the defensive now. and when a revolutionary movement la compelled to halt and defend Itself the end Is not far off. It would not be correct to say that tho contest is over, because the sentlmen la favor of the free 'coinage of silver Is still quite strong In some parts of the country.

But It Is not strong enough to exert a controlling Influence In the councils of either ol the great political parties, and without this It can accomplish' nothing In the form of legislation or In the determination of administrative No well-informed maa now believes that our standard of value will be. changed, or that the financial policy, which has been steadily pursued by, tho present. Administration will be abandoned and foreign holders of our securities, and foreign Investors In our industrial and commercial enterprises make a great mistake If they permit themselves to be influenced by the fear that our currency wilt be depreciated or that all our obligations will not be promptly, and honorably dl charged. The proposition that the United States alone shall adopt the policy of free) coinage at a ratio which would make the silver dollar Intrinsically worth only, about one-half as much as the gold dollar and declarer both coins full legal tender In the payment of. debts.

Is so unreasonable upon the face that it is difficult to understand how It could have' received the support of so Urge a' part of our people." Secretary CariMe combated the suggestion that the gold standard has reduced the price of commodities. He showed that the amount of money In circulation per capita Is larger than It was la 1873, when the gold standard was legally adopted. He stated that the entire Indebtedness of the American people that Is, the current Indebtedness contracted In ordinary business affaire has been Incurred since the adoption ot the gold standard, and be contended that there was no injustice In requiring payments to be made In the kind of money recognised by law at the date of the con tract. He asserted that the average rate oz Interest was never lower than at the present time, and that profits upon Investments have been reduced to the smallest percent age consistent with the continuance of the enterprises In which the Investments were made: He added: Notwithstanding the great body ot our producers, the laboring people of the country, are receiving as high wages ae they ever received at any period ta our history, and the money la which they are paid will purchase la the market more of the comforts than ever before. The constant tendency In this country Is to give the laborer more and capital leas out of the proceeds of their joint products.

This a fixed, law of our Industrial pro aad unless disturbed by violence or by uawlae legislation. It will eoaUaue to opeate until the relations between the two forces are permanently adjusted upon an equitable basis. Their real Interests are not conClct-ing. but" dependent, and every attempt te array one sgrlT the titer is Injurious te both, One of the most effective weapons ta the bands of our free-silver opponents has heretofore ooasssted of appeals to the class and. seoUonal prejudices of the people, but these appeals appear bow to have spent their force, and I think we may congratulate the eountry upon the prospect 3 a more dlspaaslonste and Intelligent cusalon of the anbjeel hereafter."
