w ASH1NGTON CITS, June S-lC Is stated
here that President Cleveland, Secretary
Manning, Samuel ]. Tilden, Gen. Warner,
| and others have been in consultation iu the
past few. days to try to find some
| solution of the silver problem and
further stated that they have hit upon a
plan which they believs will do Con. War
ner gives the following as the main features
of the plan which is to be submitted to con-
grs.s: Suspend the coinage of silver dollars
and issue silver certificates on silver
bullion brought to standard finenesS at its
value OF the time Of its deposit, the certif-
cate to be expressed in dollars and show
that they represent bullion on deposit and to
be redeemable at the option of the govern
ment in silver bullion at the market value
Of the silver bullion ut the time Of re-
demption; the certificate; to be made re-
ceivable for all dues to or from govern
ment and between banks but not
between Individually and to be ex-
changsabls at the pleasure of the
holder for lawful money. The proposition
also sugges is the withdrawal of the 81 and
% greenbacks and S. bank notes, and the
substitution of small notes based on the sill
Yer dollars already coined. 1t Is believed
by those who have studied this plan that it
may with some mod ifcations, prove ac-
ceptable as at least temporary solution of
the silver problem.
The secretary of the treasury has received
strong protest against the confined coinage
Of the present silver dollar, which contains
the signature of almost every banking asso-
citation and business man in the state Of
South Carolina. Among the signers are the
treasurer and the comptroller general of the
state.
News from Pope and Crook.
WASHINGTON CITY, June S-Dispatches
from the headquarters of Gems. Crook and
Scho1eld and Col Bradley were received at
the war department Saturday, stating that
the hostile Indians are again on their way
south, having left the mountains and stolen
. number of cattle and other
stock. Troops with Apache scouts
are In pursuit, but there is
little hope of overtaking the Indians. 1t
Is thought, however, that they may be in
tercepted at Guadalupe canon. The muir.
ders known to have been committed by the
Indians number in all seventeen, none of
which have occurred within the past five
days.
Gen. Pope also telegraphs that the news
paper reports about Indian atrocities in
New Mexico are sensational and greatly ex-
nS8eEa1ou, anu cTeaCe unnecessary alarm
Joseph K. Metcalf, a farmer of Silver
City, N. NJ, who has resided in the Indian
territory since 1s49, writes to Secretary La.
mar suggesting plan to put stop to the
present Apache war, and avert future In.
dian troubles. He says if the inte-
rior department will build a large
corral and put into it all the women and
children of the revolving Apaches, and put
q strong guard over them, in less than two
months all the Indians now on the warpath
will como in. He believes in treating the !
women and children kindly, but he suggests
that all the bucks be hung in the presence |
Of the congregated women and children.
