The Cavern nent Secures Its silver ON
Mighly Favorable TeFms-Enect of
necrecy an Regards an American MaF~

kVb.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-The bids offer
Ing silver bullion to the government were
opened at the office OF the Director of the
Nj int this afternoon at 3 O'Clock. At the re-
quest of bidders the amounts offered and the
price at which 1t was offered were not made
public. 1t is known, however, that the gov
ernment is getting its bullion for coming now
at much lower rate than when 1t was pur-
chased, taking the London price as q stand
ard. All silver that it wants is being procured
Mt price much lower than the London rate.
It has caused some surprise that bidders have
not been compelled to back down from their
offers. They have not, however, and the gov.
ernment profits accordingly. The keeuing OF
the secret Of prices at which the government
now purchases silver defeats one object of in
viting bids-the establishment Of a silver
market in this country. II it is not known
what bullion holders are willing to sell for,
there can, Of course, be no market for silver,
taking their rate MS standard. This leaves
all other purchasers Of bullion in the same
position which they previously stood, that OF
having t., buy silver at the London rate. It
is thought before long that this secrecy will
be removed and the United States, which
produces more silver than all other countries
combined, will no longer be dependent on for
eign markets for its prices, but on the other
hand buy and sell Independently, and perhaps
dictate where it is now dictated to.

Indians, who intend turning them over
to the military authorities, and all 9TH
ers that may come to their agency.
Three hostiles came to the house of

eating, Salaway slipped out and report
ed the matter to the commanding officer
of this post, who sent party of cavalry
to capture them, but only succeeded in
capturing one, who is now in the guard
house. The others ran on hearing the
party approach, escaping in the dark

Major Tilford, with nine companies
of the Seventh cavalry, four companies
of the First and Eleventh infantry is
at Sheridan scouting the country in the
vicinity, with the hopes of capturing
the bostiles, who are said to be still in

Cheyennes came from.

THE banks all over Europe are rails
ing their rates of discounts and loans.
This will greatly benefit American
manufacturers, especially If the ad-
vanced rates are long continued. And
for this reason: English manufacturers
for an example, have immense capital
invested and have usually been satisfied
with four per cent. clear profits. They
borrowed money to run, their business
paying therefor three and four per cent.
Now, If their business afforded say
eight per cent. gross profits, the ends
would meet nicely. But an American
In the same business making eight per
cent. gross profits and paying eight per
cent. for loans, would lose money. So
the present rates in England of seven
per cent. are quite beneficial to the
manufacturers of the United States.

Meanwhile the detectives warned
the railroad authorities, and good,
strong guards were put on the train.
So this morning, shortly before dawn,
the gang of ten men, who were thor
oughly masked and heavily armed,
boarded the train. One of the guards
had a heavy cane and struck the
leader on the back of the head, knock
ing him senseless. He was recognized
as being Mike O'Rourke. Another of
the gang was shot while in the express
car, and he tore off his mask to see his
way to escape. He too, was recog-
nized, Dan Dement,, an old time vii
lain. A guard blocked his way but
was knocked down with the butt of
q big navy. Dement, rushed into the
brushwood and escaped in the dark
ness. The balance of u Rourke's gang
fed before volly from revolvers. 1t
is not now known whether any were
seriously injured or not, but traces of
blood were found. The train proceeded
on its way with O'Rourke securely
chained. This worthy was very sullen
and refused to talk. sbV
However, 1t is thought that he is one
of the gang of four that went through
an express car on the Kansas City, st.
Joseph and Council Bluffs road, at
Winthrop station, just over the Mis-
souri, river, a short distance above
Atchison, Kansas, on the morning Of
August 10th last. At that time they
secured S5, 100 from the express safe.
O'Rourke wore slouch hat, light,
faded coat, reaching below the knees,
and pants tucked in high topped boots.
He has full face wbiskers, somewhat
cropped.
