The New York Times, gold stand
ard paper, has the following reference
to the forthcoming report of Director
Burchard, of the q. S. Mint:
The Director of the Mint in his report
about to be printed on the production of
gold and silver in the United States, esti-
mates the production of gold for the calen-
dar year 1884 at $50, 300, OOO and that of
silver at S4S, 800, 900. OF the former only
$4,000, of the latter S16,4O0, 900, was ex-
ported. The Director estimates the silver
product, however at its " coinage value"
which is obviously value it does not pos
sess. The commercial value. which is the
real one, was about SAP 0OO, 900. The Gov
eminent coinage was S24OOO,O 900, or 81 per
cent of the total product.
The foregoing figures are exceed
ingly instructive. Although the
United States is producing more sill
yer than gold, and coined 81 per cent
of the total silver product of 1884, it
exported over SO per cent of the aggre-
gate yield, while the export of gold
was inconsiderable-Only $4,000.
Now, if there were any force in the
argument that the standard silver
dollar is a fraud upon the holders
thereof, by reason of its being of
"less intrinsic value than the gold
dollar" instead of silver being
exported, gold would be sent
away, leaving the deprecated
silver currency" behind. But the
commercial rule works exactly the
other way, giving the perpetual lie
to the assertions of the gold ringsters.
This is not a mystery to any one
who understands the history of BIZ
metalism, but it is apparently a
| sealed book to the gold-standard
men. Indeed, were it not for the fact
that the United States is a large pro-
drained of that metal, as it was be-
tween 1858 and 1862, during which
years gold was the circulating medi-
UNI, in the States, being the cheaper
metal. After 1862 the currency was
changed to paper, and from the date
OF resumption of specie payment in
1879, it has been a gold, silver and
paper currency, to the great and last
ing benefit of the country.
But if one were to credit what is
written on the subject of the depre-
ciated silver dollar" one would be-
Iieve that all the worlds silver
would in time be dumped into the
United States, whereas its own silver
product is going steadily out of the
United States to meet the require
ments of the worlds commerce.

DEPARTURE OF THE HARTFORD.

The u. s. S. Hartford, carrying the
flag of Rear Admiral Upshur, took
her departure yesterday for San Fran
cisco, it being impossible to delay
her sailing longer. The instructions
from the Navy Department are to
report at San Francisco not later
than May 25th. In ordinary circum
stances the Hartford would have re-
manned in Honolulu only sufficiently
long to exchange official courtesies,
continuing her cruise under canvas {;
but owing to the death of the late
lamented Queen Dowager, Admiral
Upshur determined to strain point
and stay over for the funeral, which
was to have taken place on Sunday,
and a prominent place in the ceremO-
NAL was assigned to the Admiral and
officers of the ship, as well as to the
strong naval detachment which was
to be detailed for that duty.
When it became imperative to
postpone the funeral until Monday, it
was hoped that the weather would
admit of the ceremonial being pro-
ceeded with sufficiently early to per-
nit Admiral Upshur. Captain Per-
kins and the officers and crew of the
Hartford to participate in it before
their departure, but the rain cOntinu-
ing, an indefinite DOstpOnement
again took place. This uncertainty,
OF course, rendered it impossible for
the naval power of the United States
to be represented at the funeral,
which was a source of deep regret
and disappointment, as we'll to the
gallant Admiral as to Minister Dag
gett, who has done everything in his
power during his residence here to
cultivate friendly relations with the
Hawaiian Government, and extend
American influence in these islands.
The Hartford has taken 100 tons of
extra coal on board, and will steam
ali the way to San Francisco, so as to
make that port in obedience to in
structions. The thoughtful courtesy
Of Admiral Upshur in this matter,
and his willingness to incur expense
and inconvenience to be present at
the obsequies of the late Queen Dow
ager are recognized by the inhabit-
ants of this Kingdom as an evidence
of the friendship and sympathy of

The Drowning of Mrs. Admiral
Reynolds

The following details by which
Mrs. Reynolds lost her life are thus
given in the Norfolk Virginian, April
10th: A shocking accident occurred
at Old Point yesterday at noon which
resulted in the death of Mrs. Admiral
Reynolds. A party, consisting of
Mrs. Reynolds, aged 60, Miss Rsy-
noids and Miss Knowlton of Wash
ington, D. c., Mrs. Clarence D.
Senseman of Philadelphia, and her
baby of two months old, set out from
Hampton in a fiat bottomed boat,
rowed by. two negroes, to visit Old
Point. The wind was blowing a gale
and high sea was running at the
time. AS the boat was rounding the
Point, near the Baltimore pier, it be-
come manageable and capsized
within 100 feet of the beach. Miss
Reynolds, Miss KnowIt0n and Mrs.
Senseman, with her baby, and one
negro, chung to the boat and were
saved, through the efforts of Messrs.
Green Francis, telegraph operator,
Klepstein and Pike of the Hygeia
Hotel, and young Kimberly of Old
Point. Mrs. Reynolds was swept off,
but finally brought to shore by J. w.
Molly, but she died from exhaustion
few minutes after her rescue. The
remaining colOred man saved him
self by swimming ashore.
The entire party were stopping at
Barnes Hotel, at Hampton. After
hearing the particulars of the acct
dent, the colored men were arrested
by order of the authorities.
