IN PUTTING A STOP TO FREE COINAGE, Delegates lo the Brussels Monetary Conference and Other American Financiers Express Their Opinion Upon the Subject.

Tho Stoppage ot Free Coinag-e in India. SIMM, Juno explaining to the India council the bill providing for tho stoppage 6f free coinage of silver and otlier monetary measures, tho adoption of which wasannouuoed Monday, the marquis of of Indiu, said he hoped the government would not bo criticised for disposing of tho important question at a single sitting. Tho Icey-noto of the scheme was rather to prevent further fall in exchange than to raise the value of the rupee. The fixing of the provisional rate of exchange at Is. 4d provided an automatic means of preventing Uw of tho mints and the violent dibturbing of exchange rates.

The rate of exchange has been fixed high enough to relieve the government of the most pressing necessities, while it was within the limits of tho recent fluctuations. There should be no mistake, the viceroy said, about tho facts. It was not substitute gold 'or the silver currency. No attempt would be made ut present to fix a logal tender price for gold. White the ratio of valuu was mentioned, it was only provisional.

In conclusion, the viceroy expressed tho government's sense of the gravity of the step it was about to take. Personally he was averse to all attempts to give money commodities a fictitious value, but the time had arrived when to remain inactive was impossible. The government would bo unworthy of the name if it left things It had.not taken tho momentous stop with light hearts. Ho hoped its'action would be i in good results, and thnt ii sufficient reserve of gold would be accumulated to an cITectu'u gold standard possible. Monotns-y Convention Dolepatos Talk.

NKW YORK, June Henry W. a president of the Chase national bank, and also one of the delegates to tho monetary conference at Jlnis.sels, said regarding tliov Indian silver sensation: "The importance of the action ol the government India iii stopping tho coiiuigc of silver can not be estimated at this time. I was the only country, i the exception of Mexico, in the world, the mints of which wero open to the coinage of silver without limitation. Therefore, at the present time, tho only countries in the world which lire continuing to produce silver legal tender money are the United States and Mexico, and it must be eluar, even to a casual observer, that it is impossible for the United States to safely continue tho coinage of silver and tho issuance of money against bullion purchases. "In nil Europo silver is dishonored and gold is fast becoming thu only money of debt-paying power.

The course of the United Slates is clear. We must immediately stop the further purchase of silver and the issuance of silver legal-tender money. If this course is pursued, there is very little doubt that the other nations will be brought to a realizing sense of the condition monetary aft'airs, and the place of silver as iv money metal throughout Also world will bo settled i i is, ri'jisonablo time. Our gov- is pledged to a i a i all of our money on a gold basis, and some action should be takon at once to remove the prevailing feeling of distrust aud discomfort." Herald dispatch from 1., says President Andrews of lirown nulvursity, who. was one of tbo American delegates, to the Brussels conference, in an interview in regard to the action of tha Indian government stopping the free coinage of silver, said: "It is impossible that this scheme should bring any relief to tho silver situation in England.

It will make the condition of foreign exchange little more stable as- between the traders of England the big merchants and exchanges of Bombay and Calcutta. That is to say, it will arrest tho fall in tho in- irinsic value of coin silver in India and jnve a stability between the present noney of India, which is the silver, and gold money of England, lint in doing so it will caxise a break between iho value of Indian silver as money and value as bullion, just such as exists between the silver money of the United States nud France and the correspond- ng bullion. "The result of the system, if persisted in, would be to impose on India prices, such as prevail over the en- ire gold-using world. Further, the value of silver in the rupee being so much greater than the value of the lame silver there would be an overwhelming temptation to introduce the rupee from other countries. It could be copied exactly and mndo of the same weight and fineness.

It would bo as rood coin in every respect as the one minted in India, Another dilliculty sriws in connection with the habit Osf the Indian people of turning 1 savings into ornaments of silver for themselves, wives and children. A native Indian does not speck of these as worth so many rupees, being no difference in his mind Uotwcen the silver in the form of an ornament and in the form of a coin. Bracelets are often used for money. It is said tueso trinkets in India amount to J10.000.0UO in Now suppose thcsa mints are to silver, this vast property ia at once depreciated, and it Is hardly possible that such a scheme can bo carried iiiio effect without riot and bloodshoil. As for America, I believe tais action will be fortunate.

Silver will drop in gold prices, it may-be necessary to repeal tho Sherman law. It will then drop still more, and Great Britain will then be forced to take conceited action with other nations." Opinions of American Financiers. NEW YOIIK, June Joseph C. Hendrix, president, of the National Union bank, says: "The supersaturation of our currency with silver in tho lace of the preference ot civilized nations lor gold, ia fast becoming an historical absurdity, ana wnen a silver-using country forced by the sternness of natural lawi to weaken its faith and prepare to di minish its devotion to the inferior metal, the lesson is so timely that no one can doubt the effect on sober minded citizens. This country mus 1 follow the money fashions pf the world; not try to make new ones." Mr.

Edward 0. Leech, who was di rector of the United States mint when the Brussels conference was held, attended the meetings of that body irj an advisory capacity. In an interview Mr. Leech said: "Silver, as is wsl known, is the only legal-tender money in British India. It is estimated that there is in circulation about in India.

It forms the entire circulation medium of the country, for while there is some rupee paper in circulation in Bombay, Madras and a few large cities, there are no banks, no substitutes for money like checks, throughout the country and everything in the shape of money consists of silver rupees and fractions of a rupee Gold is not legal tender in India, although the gold mohur and divisions are coined. The ratio in Indian coinage being gold, silver is 15 to 21, so that an ounce of silver in such coinage is valued at about $1.80. "India has always been the silver sink of the world, tins natural receptacle of all silver surplus for which there is no actual demand. India absorbs in coinage more silver than any other country in the world, about $40,000,000 annually. This fact will give some idea of the tremendous effect the clos iug of the India mint to silver coinage, if true, will have upon the price of the white metal.

It is a warning to the United that we can not safely go furthcfr in the absorption of a depreciated metal in this country without seriously embarrassing our financial system." William P. St. John, president of the Mercantile bank, sa'd: "As to the effect on our silver, if this report be correct, my impression is that we would suffer materially, but not to the great degree that Europe would suffer. Europe's suffering would begin forthwith. India is the creditor yearly, and every trade in the commercial world of continental Europe is England's debtor annually for a gross sum which ranges between $70,000,000 and $100,000,000.

Europe's settlements have been made in British consul bills and shipments of silver bullion for the remainder. Those silver shipments have ranged between and a year. If gold is henceforth to tako the place of silver in these settlements, as must follow the absolute closing of the Indian mints, the commercial world may well prepare at once for such a currency question as has never yet en- 1'agod attention." THREE NOTED NEGROES Who Still Hold On 1 to Federal Positions, AND EACH IS NOTED FOR' EFFICIENCY. They Are Robert Smalls, of Beaufort, S. W.

R. Cuney, of Galveston, and Blanche K. Bruce, of Mississippi. WASHINGTON 1 Juno There are three prominent colored republican holdovers under tho present administration, each ono with a strong record for personal efficiency, and each one well known over a large portion of the United States. They are Eobcrt Emails, collector of the port of Beau- tort, S.

W. R. Cuney, collector of port of Galveston, and Blanche K. Bruce, recorder of deeds of District of Columbia. Bruce and Xiney aro both lig-ht colored men, but Smalls is a full-blooded negro, who, like Touissaint 1'Ouverture, whom lie resembles in being- a man of action, is of short stature and powerful build.

Collector Cuney is one of the ablest pen "of his race. He is a political leader in his state, and is fully capable of holding- his own against any-of his white confreres in political quarrels which arise over diverse personal factional interests. Cuney is younger than either Smalls or Bruce. His present office is the only important federal position he held, lie was to it after a long- factional contest in the summer of 1839. His administration of the office lias been so satisfac- bory that the merchants and business men of Galveston, irrespective of have joined in a request he be permitted to serve out lis term.

His original appointment was in August, but he was not con- Irrned until the following- December. Jnder the ruling 1 that the four-year term is to be counted from the date of confirmation and not from the date of original appointment to office, Ool- eetor Cuney will still have some six months to servo. Smalls has had by all odds the most nteresting career of the three. Ue was jorn a slave at Beaufort, S. in 1839, and learned the rig-g-ers' trade at Jharleston, afterward following a seafaring life.

The civil war found him a jilot on board the Planter, a steam)oat used as a transport- in Charleston larbor by the confederates. In 1803, he took this vessel over bar and delivered it to tho commander of the Union blockading sqmidron. He then served as pilot in tho Union navy until December, 1803, when he was promoted to captain and )laced in command of the Planter, serv- ng until that vessel was put out of jommission in I860. During the reconstruction period he took an active part the politics of his native state, serv- ng- in both houses of the legislature, and was finally elected lo congress, where he served several terms as a re- jublican. It is understood that he will permitted to servo out his full term of four years after the date of his con- irmation, him some six months more of official life.

Recorder Bruce served the full' term as a United States senator, from Mississippi, being the last negro to serve that body. Before he entered the senate, however, Gov. Pinehback, oi Louisiana, who describes himself as jeing "of African descent," began a contest for a seat in extended over a period of years, resulting finally in his defeat by three votes. Bruce had, in the meantime, taken his seat in the senate and voted upon the question. A HAYMARKET ECHO.

Tho Pardoning or the Chicago An archists by Gov. Altgeld. WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS HAVE TO SAY The Pardoning Strictly In with Ex ecutive Prerogative, But the Reasons Given Not Borne Out by the Records of the Courts. Echoes From Chicago. Tribune has the following: The anarchists unveiled their monument to Spies and pnrsons a law days too soon.

Had they w.itted Flolclon, -Schwab ana Neebe would have boon with them to unite in honoring the memory ot the dead anarchists. It was un vieled Sunday and yesterday Gov. Altgold released thei three men who have been in Joliet since November of 18S7. It, was generally understood that they wos-e to let KO in the event of Alt- be pold's election. The anarchists believed that ho was not merely an alien by birth, but ais alien by temperament and sympathies, and Ihey were right.

He has apparently not a drop ot true American blood in his veins He does not reason like an American, nor feel liko one, ond, conseauently, docs not behsivo likoono. Ho dirt not approve of tho result of the trial helfl bcforo Judge Gary, and for that reason the anarchists and half-baked Americans supported him at the polls whenever they had an opportunity. They voted for him for judge, anil for governor, and now they.havo their reward. There are many who will foel that It was wronj; to commute the sentences of Fleldeu and Schwab if tho consequence was to bo such, an act of mistaken clemency as that of Gov. Allgold.

Wo can not feel that the brave follows v.ho lost their lives in- the Haymarkot masyicre h.u-e been remembered as long or as eralofully sis they should bo when two at least their murderers arc tinned loose upou the ommunity after a scant term of imprisonment. The Times says: These mm were wrons, but not capitally wrong, in tho method or their agitaton for re- snor they conbidorod grievances Gov. Kctd has done no more than right in giving them freedom for the rc.st of their days. The Inter-Ocean says: Gov Altgeld has exercised his constitutional riKht. But ho did not stop with tlio exorciso of his prerogative.

ITo went out of his nay to criticise the judge who presided over the trial com ami the chief detective who ferreted out the testimony in the case This was without xi-Ube and positively ouLragoous. The Herald says: Ovorzoalom frlondsof the pardoned men may make the mistake of claiming that tho action taken yestorday by Gov. Allgelil removes the etaln of guilt from tho memories of the anarchists who sloop in Waldhcim. It docs nothing of tho sort. New York Frees Comment.

YOIIK, June The Tribune and the Herald are the only morning 1 papers that comment editorially on the pardoning of the Clficago anarchists. The Tribune says: Gov. Altgeld of Illinois has assumed res pon- I tho gravest character in pardoning -ho three Chicago anarchists who been undergoing imprisonment at Joliet. His reasons lor so doing will not bear examination, although he has set them orth nt groat length. That tho auarch- sts had a fair trial and wore justly con- lemned is the universal opinion ot Americans whoso opinions aro worth regarding.

Moreover the case was carried to the supreme court ot the nation, and the findings of tho state 'ribunal were upheld. It is late in tho day fot 3ov Altgeld tb como forwaid with tho asser- 1011 that they wero not fairly treated, aud that fudge Gary manifested prejudice against them. The Herald says: Tho announcement that all the Chicago aa- irchists In tho Illinois state prison have been inconstitutioiuilly pardoned by Gov Altgeld is well calculated to startle the public. Not less extraordinary aro tho reasons Riven for this lotion, Thoso constitute a swooping iir- of court, Jury, prosoeutoj-T and polic-o for what Gov. Alt" rold considers unwarranted convio- ion of tho anarchists That conviction he reates as a scandalous outrage on justice.

It atrsingo Gov. Altgold, who has been in ofnco Ix months, has just mado this amazing dts- 10 very It is more remarkable that it was not made by any of his predecessors dur- ng soven years, nor by either tho su- iremo court of Illinois or tho su- ircme court of tho United States, both if which affirmed Iho conviction Anarchy in his country never -received a more deadly low than when justice was meted out to the liabollciil bomb-throwers who terrified Chiago some yours ago, It is no time to sllenoo ho warning then given to ansu-ehtsts now that ho cable almost daily brings news of anarchistic outrages in various parts of Europo, md we ovon read of a monument to anarchy ust erected In Chicago. St. Louis Press Comments. ST.

Louis, Juno 27. The press of this ity thus comments on the action of rov. Altgeld of Illinois in pardoning lie convicted Chicago anarchists: The Republic says: Gov Altgeld makes tut a strong case on tho incs of evidence showing tho prejudice of the udgo and tho incompotency the jury which rled and convicted those men. It ho had one no further, than this (and his offl- ial duty imposed' no obligation upon him do so), he would have leJt no op- for assault upon either his otlon or his motive. He might safely have.

oft to public intelligence the inference ho has ought to convey by an exhaustive analysis of ho records of tho trial court, that not only tho ncn ho has pardoned but those who woro oxe- uted were victims of judicial oppression. uch a fact is involved In the evidence. he people might well have been trusted ilnd it there. But tho governor goes tack of the record and beyond the oc- uslon to enter into special pleading in defense the anarchists prqvln is to and on the nlrht the Haymarket mcoiing. This is to be re- retlcd, not only beoaus it la an evidence of personal zeal inconsistent with a proper sense official duty, but because it leaves open to aisundorstandlng and misrepresentation an ct which, in itself, and unweakonsd by such an rror, might well be claimed to serve tho cnda justice.

The Globe-Democrat says: Gov. Altgeld's pardon of the Chicago an- rchlsts is a crime against society, a crime gains law, a crime a justice, a crime gainst morals, a crime against tho high ftlce held by the man whose signature ompletes the infamy. It was alleged uring Dtho last campaign that Fleldon, Jeebo and Sohwab wero to secure their re- ease of the anarchist vote of Chicago, to be iven (or Altgold, but the assertion was vigor- usly denied in behalf of the democratic candi- ate for governor. The worst that was then aid is now proved true. Tho long manifesto vhich the governor issues to justify his act oes not justify it.

The whole matter rag carefully and extensively re- iewod in the courts of Illinois, nd the supreme court of that state, after pending mouths in Ita consideration, de- lated that every error made in tho trial count- of tho defendants and not against hem. As between the supreme court and the overnor the people will very decidedly take he side of the former. Tho 'governor would avo done mssch better if he simply said hut he granted tho relr Jse because of the vote given to kirn In Chicago last No O-OUPLE o't swindlers who vio- iimizing the clerical profession in the lortbern part of the stater and it be- uoo tree our preachers to look carefully at the first 520 bill proffered them for wrformine a marriage ceremony.

KateHarvel and Ella Winston, twi young colored women, aged 20 and Ii years, tried to commit suicide Tues day evening at the Saogamon river They claimed they wanted to die am they made a very good attempt unde: conditions not entirely favorable to eel destruction. The plan they had worked up was calculated to oe sensational.

The pair hac been seen loitering about the park dur mg tbe afternoon and about 5 o'clock they stopped at the boat house and inquired of Commodore Hall the time ol day. He told them and they followec the river bunk to the curve just above the Maffit bridge Here they (stopped and carefully depositing their hats and wraps on the bank they joined hands and waded into the river. Before doing so, however, they placed a piece of dirty paper alongside of their hats. On this paper was a few verses of a very poor quality ot poetry, aiming to set forth their reasons for self-destruction. It was not very chaste and is unfit for publication.

At the end was a chorus with instructions to sing at the end ot each verse, and then repeat. The verses explained that the pair bad led a wayward life, were outcasts and that they were ready to play quits. Although there were a number ot persons in the vicinity no one paid any attention to them. As the girls waded out they struck a sand bar and the water instead of reaching the desired depth for a hrst-class suicide, shallower. Discouraged with the that even tbe river was against ihem tbe two girls threw themselves into the shallow water, and were then unable to get up.

The attention of Commodore Hall was attracted to the spot. He hurried down there and wad- ng into the stream hauled the dusky naidens ashore. Thia required some ittle time however and when the pair were finally stretched out on the bank were both unconscious. The jolice were telephoned for and Capt. Baylor and Officer Williamson went to park in a carriage nnd took the girls lorne.

Dr. Hell was also called and succeeded in resuscitating them. The larvel girl works in a restaurant on tforth Franklin street, and the Winston on West Charles street. Tuesday light they were both in the land of the iving and had no immediate desire to die. THE POLICE COURTS.

The Sampson -Weaver Cnae Before Justice The entire time of Justice Hammer WBS devoted yesterday afternoon to the case of Snmpson vs. Weaver, charged with assault, committed at Riverside Park about a week ago. Attorney J. M. Gray appeared as prosecutor in place of State's Vttorney Mills, and Attorney Charles Jeforgee appeared for Weaver.

The attracted considerable attention, he squire's limited court room being moked all afternoon. Mr. Sampson, the roeeeuting witness, was there, both of iia eyes being draped in deep mourning tnd proving indisputably to the court hat he had been assaultea by ome one. Mr. Snmpeon is a man 60 years old and by those who mow him is regarded as a peaceable itb.en.

The prosecution presented videnoe to show that the plaintiff was itting near the park theatre awaiting lome friends who were itiBide, the party laving gone to the park in the after- oon for a picnic. Weaver, who is an mploye at the park, accused him of ettiug the benefit oE tbe theatre music pithout paying for it and ordered him leave. Sampson refused to do so and laims thac Weaver assaulted im. The two men clinched urd wero rolling about on he ground when Supt. Ferguson ap- eared on the scene and separated the ombatants.

The defense held that ampson called for a club when Weaver rdered him to move and provoked the se of force. It was maintained further bat Weaver as a deputy sheriff and a ark custodian had the authority and be right to make Sampson move. After he two young attorneys had expended heir eloquence behalf of their clients, Squire Hammer took a good look at Mr. discolored optics and opined bat Weaver should pay a fine of $25 and osts. A notice of appeal was at once filed.

An Improvement Commenced. The improvement on the Linn icruggs building has commenced McNabb has charge of he woik. The building will have an dditional story added and this will be used by Coeurde Leon Lodge, Knights Pythias. The first and second floors will be used by the Linn Scruggs ompany. The building is to be en- irely remodelled.

The improvement ill be completed by eurly fall. Xhe Lwt of tbe Let. Gov. Altgeld hne disposed ot the last wo bills left ia his hands by the legis- ature, by fixing MB signature to them, hus making them a part ot the law ot he state. The bills were the one giving 3ook county six additional judges and be one known as the "Chicago court ee bill," Monday being the last day nder tbe law in the governor ould sign them, they would have boom laws without his signature in the vent ot his having taken no action up- them.

The Illinois Central railway company ome time ago bought 100,000 admission ickets to the World's Fair in an effort advance money for the cause and elp out the commissioners. These ickets were then placed with the arious ticket sellers along the Illinois Central lines and prizes were offered to ne man who would sell the greatest umber in proportion to the size ot the own he was in. Tom Peniwell, the city gent of the Central, about the middle May received 700 ot these tickets, and Saturday, the last day ot the sale, had disposed ot every one. The rizes offered are $50, 830 and S20. About 12 Saturday night a pair pf runke stood on Front street engaged in heated argument.

Officer Lowe told aem to move on and to make lees noise, toe ot the pair invited the officer to go New Orleans or some other place, jowe took bold ot him when he was aa- aulted by the other fellow. Then the ew copper shook himself looee from his assailant lied swiped him with his club. 3apt.
