WASHINGTON.
The Presidents Views on
the Silver Question.
ORDERS OF GENERAL ORD,
Civil Service Rule in the Treasury
Department.
WASHINGTON, June 4.

WASHINGTON, June 4.
The President to-day expressed sur
prise and regret to two IllinOisans
that Governor Cnllom vetoed the
Illinois silver bill. He expressed
himself positively in favor of the re
storation of the old trade dollar. He
said CuIlom should have respected
the manifest wishes of the people and
allowed the bill to become a law; that
its operation as an ex experiment. would
have benefited the whole country.
He said the subject of reconciliation
required the discussion of many grave
questions. First, it should be one OF
the conditions of coinage whether the
Government must furnish facilities for
coming in quantities, no matter how
small; second, whether the dollar
should be of the present standard of
%fineness or should contain more sill
yer; third, what ratio gold and silver
shall hold to each other. He sur
prised his interviewers by his knowl-
edge OF the question. They found the
President agreed with them and were
convinced that Sherman alone op-
poses the law making silver a legal
tender for the payment of all debts.
Secretary NJ cCrary says the letter
instructing General Ord concerning
the Mexican troubles expresses a de-
liberate and carefully formed deter
mination of the President and Cabinet.
1t means neither annexation nor war,
but means the speedy and effective
suppression of the Mexican raids
across the border at any cost. 1t is by
no means the object of the President as
some charge, to stir up outside
troubles in order to attract attention
from internal affairs. He v
thong ht of such a thing.
Judge Barrett to-day rendered a de-
cission in which he holds that the law
of th8 Longshore Union Protective
Association making it compulsory on
members not to woEk for less than
fifty cents per hour is void, as being
against public safety and that mem
bers of the Association dismissed for
its violation must be reinstated. This
decision affects 800 members of the
Union expelled for disobedience of
said law as we'll as trades unions gen.
orally.
Sherman's rule that no two MEM
bers of the same family shall fold Of
flee in the Treasury Department will
be rigidly applied in all cases where
two or more blood relatives are now
employed there. No consideration
will be given to the fact that in some
cases brothers who are at the head of
them, in case of two, will have to be
removed.

The Tribune publishes the minority
report on the Silver Commission. The
report strongly condemns the use of
silver as a principal medium of ex-
change, denOuncing the so : called
double standard as an illusion and i'm
possibility. The recommendations of
this minority include making of silver
dollars legal tender for any sum not
exceeding $40 and to any amount in
payment of dues to Government, ex-
cept duties on imports. Coins to be
issued only in exchange for one and
two-dollar notes, which are then to be
destroyed. This coming of half eagles
is almost exactly the equivalent of
pound sterling, aud the cancellation Of
three million dollars of paper money
each month are the princial features
of this plan.

erty from = Tornado.

A tornado struck this city to-day by

$5OAA0M worth of property was de.

we're burned. There are at least 25
still missing. Later information says

two Of the wounded have since died.
The ruins of the buildings are burn.

All Quiet im Zion.
SALT LAKE, June s..
Crook expresses the opinion that no
more troops are needed in Utah; that
perhaps, so far as he can see, Utah Is
AS peaceful as ever before. The alleged
assassination of the correspondent OF a
New York journal seems to be gen.
orally discredited. II am now at the
same hotel and / do not see how it
could have been possible. Even the
alleged assassination, which was blood
less, is not laid to Mormon agents.
The Territory is as quiet as Massa-
chusetts or Connecticut, and as far
from war or bloodshed."

NIT OF Laveta Pass in the Sangre De

Grande Railway. The altitude of the
