United States Funds Advancing on
the News Of the Passage Of
the Silver Bill.
The POpe's SuccessOr--The UncOm-
promising Party Divided
First Ballot To-Day. 81

"H" ."N H...N" .N III
LONDON, February l9.-The steamship
City of New York. frsm New York for
Liverpool, arrived at Queenstown this
morning. Cardinal McClo.ksy is a pas.
ssnger.
The Times says: "URiisd States funds
have surprised many people by adusnc-
ing instead of falling on the news that
the silver bill passed in a manner that
viii insure it becoming a law in much
its present shape, We have always said
the people were not selling the stock to
any a~ppreciable extent, and the weak
ness which has now aud then character.
lied the bonds was due ss much as any
thingt to the passing fears of dealers and
to speculate, selling which only made
the market harder; hence, on receipt Of
better New York prices, and because the
worst was known, the market naturally
rose by the mere efforts Of those who had
sold to buy back, besides it has been no.
ticed that the limitation put upon the
quantity of silver that may be coined
within o given time is in itself tanta-
mount to making silver a subsidiary
coinage, at all events for some consid-
cradle time, so hat there is little alarm
felt and holders stick to their bonds.
The only thing that will lower these or
any ether high class stock just new is
dearsr money"
In addition to the vessels now in the
Bay of Mundonia, smaller ships, ipclud
ing the Torch, Antelope, Flaming, Basi-
lisk and Cygaet, are in the B~osphorus or
at the entrance of the Black Sea to keep
watch over the Straits and hold them
selves at the disposal Of the ambassador

A correspondent says the uncom.

favoring Cardinal Bio for the

His majesty, one day, hunting in the
~neigbborhood Of Rome, shot at a hare at
the very moment when a stout citizen,
out enjoying the pleasures Of the chase,
discharged his piece at the same object.
The king claimed that he bad killed the
hare, and the citizen, ignorant OF the
person Of his rival, declared in very
impoite terms that be himself was the
successful marksman. The result was a
regular trial Of strength for possession OF
the game-a russell which resulted 10
favor of the king, who walked of with
the prize, while the citizen poured upon
him a food Of such abuse as only an

the eommandant of the guard to follow
the angry citizen and report bic name
and residence.
After a few hours the officer was able
to say the unknown hunter was an honest
cabinet maker Of the Porta del Popodo,
when the king sent one of his carriages
to fetch him to the palace. Naturally

Thurlow Weed, in calling attention to
this letter in a recent number of the
Tribune, says: "Mr, 0leott, it will be
seen, is clearly of opinion that the re-
monetization Of silver is essential to re-
sumption, and that an attempt to resume
without a broader specie basis would
signally fail. This view is undoubtedly
sound. While it would be dangerous to
cross a deep gulf upon one plank, two
would render it sac, Resumption upon
gold alone would be oppressive aud
cruel; there can be no permanent re-
sumption, and no restoration to prosper
ity without q specie basis broad enough
to sustain a c%ontrovertible paper cur

One of The Oldest bankers 10 this couu
Try or in the world is Mr.. Thomas w

president Of the Mechanics and Farmer
Bank. is over eighty years of age, hal
made finance a study for sixty-fve years
enjoys perfect health, has a clear head
attends to the business of his bank and
oeh his family like a niddIe.aged man.
AVID is a thorough believer in hard money,
While the congressional silver commits,
sion was in New York the members adj
dressed TO him, among bitter prominent
bankers, a number Of inquiries which
are sufficiently indicated by his replies
in the following letter:
The Hon. John p. Jones;
DEAR SIR-Beipg unable to attend in
person in response to your polite invita-
ton, allow me to give a written reply TO
your interrogatcsies:
No. l. / reside in Albany, N. Y, and
have been an officer Of this bank since
1911; am now aud have been its psesi-
dent for forty years.
No. 2. Some Of the causes may be
found in the decentralization OF silver in
Germany; in the unusually large substi,
tuition OF government bills in India in
the place OF remittauees in silver from
London; in speculations IN silver, tend.
ing, If not designed, to reduce its price,
and 10 the increased production Of silver
10 this country.
No. 3. Most Of the causes are probably
temporary.
No. 4. In combination the two stand
ards will probably strengthen each other
and approximate more closely in value,
thus l~esseaing those fluctuations pre-.
eminently inherent in a single standard.
No 5. / believe that a double standard
viii greatly facilitate the resumption of
specie payments, and am equally de-
cided in opinion that q coereed resump-
ton in 1879 in gold alone, will be at
tended with embarrassment in its incep-
ton, and uncertainty in its continuance.
No. 6. -
No. I. The adoption of a double stan-
dard by this country would be q hatter-
ing recognition Of the wise policy adopted
by the nations referred 10, and would be
calculated to confirm their adherence to
the example which they have given Us.
No. 8. / regard gold IL its present and
prospective supply as inadequate as q
sole standard for the commercial and in
dustrial interests OF Europe and America,
and decidedly SO for coming time, unless
we would retard that vast progress aud
development which we were encouraged
to look for in the future. | have the
honor to be, etc.
