Week.
MR.. WINDOWS SILVER POLICY
The Proposed QuadrO- centennial al
Washingt0n-The SilcOtt
DefalcatiOn.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, December S.--If the
committee investigating the defalcation
of Cashier Silcott completes it's work in
season to make its report to the House
tomorrow, it will undoubtedly give rise
to much discussion; but the committee
does not expect to be able to finish it's
labor until some later day. 1t is thought
a joint resolution will be introduced aud
pressed to prompt passage to provide for
the payment Of the lost salaries, though
there are intimations that this will meet
With determined opposition.
In former years it was the custom to
permit Representative to introduce bills
before the committees were appointed,
but this led to such confusion in the
docketing of measures that in the
Fiftieth Congress the practice was dis
continued, and it is hardly probable that
it will be re.established.
There is reason to believe that instead
of waiting, as usual, to complete the
entire list of committees, Speaker Reed
will announce several of the more i'm
portant committees this week. Until
these are announced, however, short
sessions and long recssses may be ex-
pected.
Wednesday at the capitol will be de-
voted to programme Of exercises comme-
morative OF the centennial celebration Of
the Inauguration of George Washington.
The Senate and House will assemble to-
gether in the hall of the House, and
there will be music, prayer by the
Chaplain of the Senate, an address by
Chief Justice Fuller and benediction by
the Chaplain of the House. These ex-
ercises are to be attended by the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet, the Supreme
Court, the delegates to the Pan Ameri-
can and International Maritime Con-
ferences, and other officials.
IL is not expected that any business OF
Importance will be completed in the
Senate this week. Bills will be intro
duced and referred, and some of the
committees will begin their regular
work. Tomorrow the Republican Cau-
Gus Committee on Committees will meet,
and they expect to conclude the work of
Encouragement at that session, so as to
report to the caucus Tuesday. Action
probably will be taken upon the nomi-
nations sent in by the President last
| week. These number 1873, all re-
cess appointments except that of Judge
Brewer.

THAT the HERALD's idea that Los An
geles will be great smelling center, as
soon as the coming railway connections
have been completed between Nevada
and Utah and this city, is not confined
to this journal or this city, the following,
from the Virginia City (Nev.) Territorial
Enterprise Of December 3rd, shows:
A syndicate has been formed to build
smelling and reduction works at Los
Angeles. The first plant will cost $100,-
600. At present there are but two
smelters in Southern California-one at
National City and the other at Cotton
but they are not of large capacity. As
soon as Los Angeles IL placed in railroad
communication with Nevada, she will be
in q position to run not only q single fur
mace, but several furnaces.

bars and issue representative of coin

upon it?''
"The plan proposed by the Secretary is
far more advantageous to the silver pro-
ducers than the enforcement OF the ex.
treme limit OF the present law for the fol-
lowing reasons: Because under its op-
Grafton more than $4,000,000 worth per
month could be received. Any reetric-
ton acts as menace to the price of sil-
YER. Increased coinage uuder the pres'
ent law would not continue indefinitely,
and it would be only question of time
when it would have to be discontinued.
By supplying an unlimited market for the
product Of silver, it leaves it open to all
the natural operations of the law of sup
ply and demand. The tendency OF this
will be to gradually and permanently en-
hance its value, thus enabling producers
to realize large price for their product.
At the same time it will materially en-.
hance the intrinsic value of the large
stock of silver in circulation in this
country, either as coin or it's representa-
tive.
II believe the adoption of the meas
ure recommended by the Secretary
would in q few years go enhance tho
value of silver that an international
agreement locking to the opening of the
mints of the world, or at least the states
of the Latin union and the countries of
this continent, to the free coinage Of
silver at fixed ratio, would not only be
possible but desirable and readily accom-
plished.
$50 far as concerns the criticism that
the plan would make large addition to
our paper currency based on silver, and
thereby imperil the continuance of the
gold standard, it must be evident to
everyone that the predominant senti-
ment of the country is in favor of the uee
of silver as money, and the only thing to
be considered is What is the best way
to safely use it?"

WINDOWS SILVER POLICY.
Director of the Mint Leech Heartily
EndOraes IT.

WASHINGTON, December S.-Director
of the Mint Leech, in an interview today
on the subject of Secretary Window q
proposed silver measure, said it COM
me nds itself to his judgment as the best
plan for the present utilization of silver,
and contains in itself solution of the
silver problem. sit will afford, I be-
lieve," says Leech, "a ready market for
the surplus silver product of the world,
the normal effect Of which will be to
gradually and permanently enhance the
value OF silver, until 1t reaches point
80 nearly corresponding with its value il
coinage that we can with safety do away
with all temporary measures and restore
the law as it existed from the foundation
OF the Government to 1873.
"It Is curious fact that papers repre-
senting the extreme gold sentiment OF
the East and the extreme silver men of
the West should both oppose the plan,
and for Numerically different reasons
the former because it proposes to utilize
silver more fully as money, and the latter
because they say it degrades silver to the
level of commodity. With regard to
the latter objection, fail to see how it is
any more degrading to silver to receive
1t in unlimited quantities and issue notes
upon it reasonable at the option of the
holder in full legal tender dollars, than
the present law to buy silver as COM
m ,dity.
''The proposition to issue certificates
on silver bullion is not new, but has
been advocated in Congress in various
forms by the most advanced silver men.
La the same manner it has been repeat
edly proposed in Congress to issue certi-
6cates on gold bullion, and in my judg-
ment this proposition should become a
law. / believe 1t would have been rec
commended by the present Secretary of
the Treasury but for the fact that he did
not wish to entangle the present meas
ure With any other proposition. Gold
bars are used more extensively in the
settlement of international balances than
coin. Why is it not just as degrading to-
make payments in gold bars instead of
gold coin ~ it would be to receive silver

placed Under bonds to appear in con-
nection with street row on Saturday
night. Two Constables, who have made
themselves very unpopular by searches
for liquor, arrested John Ring on trivial
pretext, and ON his demonstrating, brut-
ally beat him with clubs. The crowd
gathered, and some one suggested lynch
ing the Constables. They made their
escape in Justices office, but the crowd
gathered and were preparing to
storm the place when a force
of the police came and rescued
the Constables, taking them to head
quarters for cafe keeping. The arrests
made today are of those supposed to
have been concerned in the attack, but
sentiment is SO strong against the Con-
stables that it is not likely much will be
done.

THINKS SPIES DID IT..
William Walls Says the English
Government is Responsible
FOR THE DEATH OF DR.. CRONIE.
Their Agents Took Advantage Of the Un-
pleasantness
IN TIE CLAN-NA-GAEL ORGANIZATION

Mr.. William Walls, ex-c6uncilman Of
the Twenty-seventh ward and well known
throughout Pennsylvania to be an unsel-
fish worker in the cause of Ireland for
years, was interviewed by DISPATCH re-
porter yesterday, in regard to DR.. Cronin's
death. He said:
'Up to the last "a hours 1 was laboring
under the opinion that perhaps DR.. Cronin
met with foul play, through some deep laid
faction plot, but that idea has now vanished
and something has struck me regarding the
informer, LeCarron's s talk that should not
pass unnoticed by the authorities. LeCar-
ron when interviewed relative to DIR.
Cronin's death, said he could put his hand
on, or name the party who murdered DR..
Cronin, but that it would not do. I infer
from this that there are
STILL INFoRMERs HERE,
in the pay Of the British Secret Service and
that they understood that there was some
unpleasantness in Irish circles, and that
they have taken advantage Of it by murder
ing DR.. Cronin and get the civilized world
down on the Irish cause. By doing this
London Times conspiracy in its foul plot to
ruin, if possible, Ireland's chances for home
rule, by taking away the sympathy of the
American people, which was the great lever
of the home rule movement.
''It is not the first time that the English
paid hirelings have had recourse to commit
ting crime and laying the blame upon Irish
men. They have oftentimes, MANNED cattle
which roamed- through the fields, and ac-
cused Irishmen of doing the same. Is is
A SAD THING TO THINK
that an Irishman, and a patriot has been
murdered and had not time to say HThe
Lord have mercy on my SOUL Murder
will out. 1t is to be hoped that no guilty
man shall escape. It is nv opinion that
DR.. Cronin was murdered by English thugs
that were hired to do the work and ruin
Ireland's cause on the eve of her triumph.
''The Irish people, as people, detest and
abhor murder, or the embruing of their
hands in the blood of another. For Irish
in this country, can say,
they are organized for no other purpose than
to create a brotherly love and sentiment to
further Ireland's claims to q regeneration
from thraldom, and complete severance from
British misruffe.
'T have been a close observer Of the
wrongs of Ireland for 20 years and I know
whereof speak"
