| This matter of a Worlds Fair Will De the
first to engage the attention of Congress.

the hands of Hon. John J, o'Neilli et-niem-

There is much talk about the letter writ

Of the Three Americas Congress, 10 the Cal.
lOrnia Niticultural Society, acknowledging
| the receipt of carload Of California win e.
| some comments have taken the shape Of in
| timating that Mr.. Curtis has been paid for
| advertising the wine in the letter re-
| ierrcd 10. All this is a misapprehensi0n.
1 MIR. Curtis wrote the letter in his Official
capacity. lie wrote it for the purpose Of
| Advertising the article mentioned, just as
| he did in the case of a car load Of Anheuser-
| Busch beer, and just as he weuld do in the
| case Of any domestic product presented TO

| Congress has been arranged for the purpose
IF introducing our wares TO the markets of
, the American continent, and, as Is natural
and proper, Mr.. Curtis exerts him
self TO bring these wares TO the
attention of the delegates under the most
favorable circumstances possible. There
will be an excursion South within the next
| few DAYS, and il is just as well that the
facts he understood in advance. Mr.. Curtis

THE RICHMOND IN BRAZILIAN WATERS.
Rear-Admiral Gillis to-day informed the
Navy Department Of his arrival on the flag
ship Richmond at Bahia, Brazil. i,ahia is
about five hundred miles north of Rio de Ja-
neiro, and the second port in importance in
Brazil. No mention is made by Rear-Ad-
miral Gllls of the recent revolution in Bra
iii, or any disturbances since, and from
that fact il is inferred that all is peaceable
and quiet in that part of Brazil.
CRITICISM ON SECRETARY WINDOWS
PLAN.
Congressman Bland, author Of the stand
ard silver dollar law and staunch adNo-
cate Ofthe free coinage Of silver, III critics.
ing Secretary WINDOWS plan for issuing
silver cert ficates on deposit of silver bullion
said: Secretary Window proposes TO
stOp the present coinage Of silver and
substitute for it his plan of pur-
chasing silver bullion at its market
rate measured in terms Of gold, and issue
treasury notes on the bullion purchased.
These notes are to he redeemed in silver bull
lion at its market value, or in gold at the
option of the government, the Secretary re-
serving the power at any time to suspend
silver purchases when in his judgement the
market is being cornered by specu-
lators. The objections TO the plan are
many. Among them is the fact that
silver will no longer oe coined; IT will no
no longer be rated by law with gold. 1t
will no longer be legal tender, the same as
gold. in payments of the public debt, except
what is now coined. IL will, in short, per
form no part in the measure of the standard
of our money. Gold will be the sole none
tary metal and the sole standard OF money!
