JOHN ID. LEES Confession.
WASHINGTON. March S.

WASHINGTON, Marcn D.
The President reiterated his opinion
to-day that the effects of the Silver bill
may di>appoint him. Secretary Sher-
man takes a cheerful view of the case
and complains chiefly that the sale Of
four per cents has stopped, but Eu
ropean bondholders are beginning TO
see that even il they are paid in silver
the interest will be much larger than
upon any other bond they can find in
the market. The Secretary's theory is
that he will put silver in circulation as
fast as possible, purchase silver bull
ion with gold, and retain the green
backs in the Treasury for Internal
Revenue tax, thus gradually con-
tracing the circulation, possibly with
in the first year to the $500 900 900, the
limit fixed by the Resumption Act and
a par, in advance of actual resuInp
ton.
The Evening Star to day contains
the following: "SumnaT ID. Howard,
formerly Marshal of Utah, said, in
conversation while here recently, that
Lee, the Mountain Meadows murderer.
never made a confession. He and
Marshal Nelson tried in vain to oh
tain from him a bona fide confes
sion, but Lee persistently refused to
make one. The confession published
at the time of Lees execution was
composed by himself, Nelson and "A
Newspaper correspondent, assisted by
Lee, whose approval it received. 1t
vas not, however. by any means a
confession. Howard said the reason
Lee refused to confess was principally
because his favorite wife, who WAS
with him at the time, was also red
handed in MURDERS"
