THE SILVER DOLLAR.
Western Men Growing More Displeasetl
With the e.Admininistration'sA Attitude.

A Washington dispatch says the silver
men apparently grow more and more dis.
pleased with the attitude on the silver
question. Senator Beck is preparing a
speech in reply to the Presidents remarks
on silver. Bland says it could hardly be
expected that an Eastern man, such as the
Secretary Of the Treasury, who was Pres.
ident of a National Bank, would take any
other attitude than to oppose the continued
coinage Of silver dollars. He rather en-
pected the President would he under the
same influences. Publicity will soon be
thrown on the Manton Marble researches
in Europe on this question. In accord.
ancc with the resolutions introduced by
Senator Morrill, calling upon the President
to communicate documents obtained by
him on the subject, he is now preparing 70
send to the Senate, Marbles reports.

BIG GUNS IN SESSION.
They Meet at the Palace Hotel to Discuss
the Situation.

The Transcontinental Association met
at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, on the
l4th, all lines being represented. D. C..
Oakes, General Manager Of the Northern
Pacific was elected Chairman. A com.
pittee Of three was appointed to draft a
plan for reorganization, to take effect Jan.
uary first next, and the Association then
adjourned, I'LL Tomorrow afternoon. The
chief subjects for consideration are the d.
vision Of pool earnings and fixing passen.
ger rates from the East. The great dis.
cussion will probably be over the percent
age to be allowed the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe road. This line demands
that its claim as Transcontinental line be
recognized and its percentage be increased; !;
also, that the California Southern, one of
its connecting lines, be admitted a. a mem.

j. WILKES BOOTHS FAMILY.
A Son and Daughter Who Have Lived
Under False Name For Twenty Years.

A rumor, credited to the author of
book recently published at Birmingham,
was widely circulated not long ago to the
effect that John Wilkes Booth, the assas.
sin of President Lincoln, was still alive.
A gentleman Of Boston, who is we'll &C.
quainted with the widow Of Booth, wrote
her, enclosing the newspaper paragra ph
His letter brought the following touching
reply:
An item in the Boston Herald has lust
come to my notice Of some man, unknown
In Birmingham, Ala, who has desire to
resurrect John Wilkes Booth. Whoever
this man may be, let me warn the public
that his only motive must be to make
money, for, as sure as the sun shines in the
heavens, SO sure is John Wilkes Booth
dead. I, myself, saw him buried; saw and
examined his body before it was laid to its
final resting place. He carried marks upon
his body known only to his family and in.
innate friends, and these marks were iden-
titled by his family. We all know that the
last act oi his life was wrong. We know
that we should not judge. We know not
the why or wherefore, but it is my opinion
that those Of us who live long enough will
yet learn that, although it was John Wilkes
Booth hand that struck the fatal blow that
ended good mans life, yet it was those
in high authority who were the head of a
diabolical conspiracy, the result Of which
stepped several families in the deepest of
woe and left nation to mourn.
Although not generally known, John
Wilkes Booth left family-a wife and two
children, a daughter and son now grown
to womanhood and manhood. This fam.
lily has lived in seclusion and under false
name for twenty years. For these innocen,
ones sake let their dead alone, and let them
sorrow in peace. l beg for the sake of the
Booth family, now mourning over the
death Of the mother Of J. Wilkes Booth
tint the public will show some little char.
ity, and leave the wrongs that some one
has done in the hands of higher power
who, in His own good time, will make al
things right. Let the dead rest for tn.
sake Of the living and the innocent.

Special Commercial Treaties with Them
Deemed 1naalvisable by the President.
The commercial relations of the United
States with their immediate neighbors and
with important areas Of traffic near our
shores suggest especially liberal inter.
course between them and US.
Following the treaty Of 1883 with Mex.
leo, which rested on the basis of recipro.
cal exemption from customs duties, other
similar treaties were initiated by my pre-.
decessor.
On taking Office withdrew for rc.ex.
animation the treaties signed with Spain
and San,o Domingo, then pending before
the Senate. The result has been to sat.
isfy me Of the inexpediency Of entering
into engagements of this character not
covering the entire traffic.
These treaties contemplated the surren.
Ger by the United States Of large revenues
for inadequate considerations. Upon su.
gar alone duties were surrendered to an
amount far exceeding all the advantages
Offered ia exchange. Even were it in.
tended to relieve our consumers it was evi.
dent that SO long as the exemption but
partially covered our importation such re-.
lief would be illusory. 10 relnquish a
revenue so essential seemed highly i'm.
provident at time when new and large
drains upon the Treasury were contem.
plated. Moreover, embarrassing ques.
tons would have arisen under the favored
Nation clauses Of treaties with other
Nations.
