The silver Question I'm Italy.
New YORK, May 4.-Since the resump-
ton of specie payments in April. 1881,
the banks of issue have adopted the sys-
tenn Of boarding all gold, and even State
notes convertible into gold at the State
Treasury, which are paid in at their nu-
merous offices and branches, and of pay
ing out only silver and their own bank
notes. which they exchange exclusively in
silver. This policy has several times been
the object of criticism, but it has never
been relaxed. The result has been that
gold is very little seen in circulation.
Silver five-franc pieces, which at q time
were so much used as to be Utmost cum
brous, are now thinning out, all transac-
ions being made chiefly in bank notes ex-
cept for small change, for which State
notes, in five and ten-franc pieces, and
silver are used. The system of checks is
private individuals.
ootWocu 4thly buu bAO OshOA O"SA 49,
terested there is a full agreement as to a
propagation, for a short term, Of the Latin
Monetary Union. New clauses will be
adopted relating to the fve-franc silver
pieces, mostly OF French coinage, which
are worn beyond legal limit. and which
largely circulate in Italy. The final liqui-
dation of the silver money, should the
Union be dissolved, will also be provided
for. Our large bankers are mostly fervent
bi-mettallists; the Government and prac-
teal politicians are temperate bi-metal-
lists; the men Of science are mostly gold
mono-metallists. People at large do not
care for gold coin; they dislike silver and
prefer notes.
A Nurses CareIessness.
Boston, May 4.-The managers Of the
Children's Hospital, one of the most
aristocratic charitable institutions of the
city, are placed in a most embarrassing
position by the verdict to-day regarding a
death which occurred there a few weeks
ago. The parents of Jennie L. Holmes, of
Franklin, Mass, sent her to the hospital
to be treated for hip disease. The mother
received daily bulletins by postal card
concerning the child's condition, all Of
which were favorable until, OF the after
noon of one day when she received favor
able news, there came another message
saying that the little one was dead.
The next day the body was forwarded
Theoretically sealed in a leaden casket with
instructions not to open but to bury i'm
mediately, as death had been caused by
scarlet fever.
These directions were followed, but
within a day or two the parents became
suspicious and caused the body to be dis
inferred. The result Of the investigation
then begun is verdict by Judge Wiggin
TO the effect that the child was scalded to
death. 1t was shown that the little one
was placed in a bath-tub by Laura Smith,
a nurse in the institute, who turned the
hot water upon the helpless patient, &C.
cidentallv of course. and death was the
result. The nurse fed.
Charged with Completely.
LAS VEGAS, N. M, May 4.-The Optic
has a special from Los Cruces, which says:
Considerable of q sensation was created to-
day by the arrest at Tulerosa Of the we'll
known merchant and stock-raiser, Colonel
Fat Coghlan, charged with completely in
the murder of the Nesmith family. This
man was implicated the most in the con-
fession of Lara before he was hanged Fri
day, but little dependence was placed on
Lara's dying statement, and the arrest OF
Coghlan creates more than usual surprise.
1t was claimed by Lara that he received
81, 900 from Coghlan to murder Nesm it'll,
SO as to get him off of a ranch location that
was wanted by Coghlan.
A Projected Railway.
GRAND JUNCTION, Colorado. May At is
becoming an open secret that the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy are thinking Of
building from Grand junction to Aspen at
once. The object of this is two-fold-to
hold the route, and to build when it will
pay, even in advance OF the through line.
A road from this point to Aspen would
pay, even with the disadvantage Of q con-
nection with another road, until the
Transcontinental line could be put across
the range. This would be a source of
revenue, and it could then be made a part
of the general system.
Riel's sanity Questioned.
NEW YORK, May A Herald's Winni-
peg special says: As to the report that
Riel Is insane, q reporter says that he is
positive that he must be so, as during the
Red River rebellion he personally saw him
in several fits Of insanity. He was in one
| when he ordered Scott to be shot. In
| proof of this assertion be exhibited sew
| eral letters written by Riel which were
| wild imaginings of q demented reason. In
| one he declared himself high priest,
prophet and pontif. He signed himself
| Louis David Riel, believing he had a
| divine mission like David to slsy the
Goliaths of evil in the world.
