SILVER IN THE TREASURY.
An Effort to Induce the Secretary to Buy
More Bullion.

An Effort TO Induce the Secretary to Buy
More Bullion.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHi
WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE silver
in the treasury, against which certificates
have not been issued, is reduced to about
S., ,000, 900. At the present rate of issuing
small denomination certificates from 81, 900,
900 to 100000 per month, this amount
will not last the month out. If increased
purchases OF silver are not made the issu-
ance of certificates will have to be suspended
or greatly curtailed. The Cabinet was dis
cussing the question with the President to-
day. Under the law the Govern
ment must purchase silver at the
rate of 100000 per ss.month and
may purchase as much as $4,000, 900 per
month. Heretofore they have been pur-
chasing the minimum amount. The propo-
sition before the Cabinet was to increase the
amount of the purchases, and it may be de-
cided to purchase the full 81, ,00O, 900 per
month.
This report must be taken with several
grains of allowance None of the Cabinet
officers we'll verify it, and it is well known
Secretary Window has all along been disin-
clined to increase the purchases of silver.
1t is of no practical importance whether the
number of ai2ver dollars in the treasury is
decreasing or not, as there is plenty of gold
that can properly be paid out if necessary.
Pressure has been brought to bear on Secre-
tary Window all summer to increase his
purchases of silver until the maximum
amount of 81, 100000 month is reached,
but he has on several occasions intimated
that he was disposed to let the present policy
continue.

NOT SENTENCED.
Mrs. Heron Denies the Report of Her
Having Been Sentenced TO Death by
the King of Korea-A Kind
and Noble Monarch.

ana NODle monarch.
BOSTON, October 1.-THE Traveller
prints, under date of Seoul, Korea, Septem-
Der g. letter from Mrs. Hattie G. Heron,
wife of DR.. Heron, of Tennessee, who was
reported to have been sentenced to death by
the King of Korea for teaching Christianity.
Mrs. Heron says she has just passed through
a long and dangerous illness, which
has left her mere ghost of her former SELF
She asserts that the King of Korea would
not do what has been charged against him,
and adds:
He is a man of great strength of character,
kindness of heart and noble ambitions. More
over, the King and Queen have been most
cordial and generous in their personal treat
ment of DR.. Heron and myself. They will do
all in their power to protect us. Our only
danger is from the ignorant and superstitious
lower classes, who, If aroused, might kill us
before the King could rescue us from them
But as DR.. Heron has with his own hands
treated about 80, 900 sick Koreans, who are very
grateful to him. it is not likely that they will
rise up against him or his family, whatever
they may do to others.
Mrs Heron recites several incidents to show
their friendly relations with the royal family,
and concludes her interesting letter as follows:
Let me say positively that DR.. Heron and
are not now preaching or teaching Christianity
except BY an example which we earnestly pray
may be worthy of the name Of Christian. The
laws of the land forbid it. and through the
United States Minister about year ago the
American missionaries were absolutely for
hidden to teach religion; but we long for the
time when our treaty shall be revised and free
dom of religion allowed. Until that time we are
doing all in our power to gain the confidence
and respect of the people, with what success
you may judge from my letter"

NEW YORK, October 1.-THE great trot-

Harry Wilkes. The word was given at the sec
ond attempt, with Belle Hamlln a short neck
in the van. Harry Wilkes however, soon took
the lead, but at the quarter was only neck
ahead. Both were trotting perfectly. Going
in the backstretch the mare shot out like an
arrow, and at the half was nearly two lengths
ahead. Between the half and the three-quar-
tiers the geldiug closed up to the gap. but only
on sufferance.
Rounding the stretch they were nearly nose

was used on Harry Wilkes frequently but to
no purpose. The mare won easily. Time, 0:33,

change, but between there and the half Harry

himself and the mare. Coming up the hill it
was neck and neck but in the stretch Andrew

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE p1sP ArcH,I
BALTIMORE, October ia fstic en-
counter between Colonel R. Victor Baugh-
man and Colonel Sam Cox, Jr., is the sensation
of the hour in political circles. Both are
good Democrats and men of influence
Colonel Baughman is the State Controller,
and was very recently renominated for that
position by the Democratic State Conven-
ton. Colonel Cox is the Cashier of Gus
toms. He halls from Charles county, and
is leading Democrat in Southern Mary
land.
When Colonel Cox, with the scalps of sew.
eral rivals dangling athis bell, returned from
the County Convention, he was met at the
headquarters of the State Central Commit
tee by Senator German and Colonel Baugh-
man.
The lie passed, and the fight began in
earnest. Colonel Baughman got his adver-
sary in a corner, and prepared to deliver a
knockout blow. Cox, who is much lighter
man, but full of FIRE and muscle, did not
propose to have it that way. and, before the
Controller could get in his WORK, the Charles
county Colonel caught him on the right
cheek and sent him to the floor. Colonel
Baughman again rushed, and again went
down.
For about five minutes the two Colonels
pummelled each other in the most approved
pugllistic fashion. The mill finally ended
in draw.
