WINDOWS POLICY.
A Rumor That it is to be Adopted b
the Bank of England.

A Rumor That it is to be Adopted by
the Bank of England.
New York, Special There was rumor
in Wall street which, considering the dis
eussion of Secretary WINDOWS silver prop
'osition, occasioned considerable comment.
Messrs. Zimmerman & Forshay announced
that they had received advices from Lon
don that the Bank of England is about to
exercise its right never hitherto asserted to
use silver to the extent OF one-tbird of its
reserve and to issue one pound notes in sill
wer against it. The dispatches also said that
the bank had purchased g. 600, 600 pounds of
silver bullion in expectation of the action
One banker said that if the Bank of Eng
land should exercise this right there would
be such period of speculation and general
Imitation in the country as has not been ex-
perienced since the discovery of gold
in California. Mr.. Forshay said that
he was confident that the dis
patch which he received was well founded
:" There have BEEN" he continued, every
heavy expectations of silver to England
recently, the last shipment being last Fri
day, when we sent over 1000 ounces. I
think, however, our dispatch intended to
say that the bank had accumulated 5000, 600
ounces, or about 100000, instead of
5000, 600 pounds But the former is pretty
large sum. believe that ii such step to-
ward silver certificates be taken in England
it will have been taken merely in anticipa-
ton of Mr.. WINDOWS plan. Not alone this,
but it will BET great advance toward the
establishing of bimetallism and an inter
national currency. For this fact is indubit-
able, that England and the United States con-
troll the money markets of the world If
England should follow our example and
adopt silver as the basis of part of its circu-
lation, France, Germany and, of course,
other countries of Europe could not fail to
follow the lead"

made as to the endurance of the
heavy ordnance now under con
struction in England and the result
cannot be said to be encouraging
from an economical standpoint. The

the 16O-ton gun, with good luck, can
be fred ninety-fve times before be-
coming unfit for service the sixty

MINNEAPOLIS POLICE SURPRISED.
The news that Schieber had escaped from
his custodian created genuine surprise in
Minneapolis police circles. There were
none of the officers who had given the case
any special attention but who thought
Schieber was guilty of murder, and was q
man who should be watched very closely.
In fact, the prisoner had practically con-
fessed the murder, but claimed justification
because his old victim had accused him OF
drowning his step-son. Mr. Hoy has had a
great deal of experience with criminals. 1t
is thought that Schieber's meek and lowly
appearance might have helped him out.
He has the appearance of an easy-going and
harmless man. At times he would act as il
perfectly Indifferent to his fate. But peo-
pie who thought these things were badly
mistaken. The fellow cannot speak word
of English, and had but little to say as a
general thing But he kept up heap OF
thinking just the same. He would beg for
little privileges when confined in the CEN
trail station, and later in the Jail, and to
awaken the sympathy of the officials he
would sometimes cry bitterly. Capt Helm
was about the first man in Minneapolis to
learn OF
scHEIBER's CUNNING.
When the captain was escorting the prisoner
from the police headquarters to the central
station on the evening of his arrest the Ba-
varian made bold break for liberty and
went flying up Nicollet avenue at rate
which would have done credit to pro-
fessional sprinter. Thereafter Capt. Helm
was very distrustful of the Bavarian. One
day when the murderer wasin United States
Commissioner ODell's court Capt. Helm re-
marked to Deputy Marshal Hay:
'That is a cunning fellow, and it will be
we'll to watch him closely"
"Oh, that poor fool will never hurt any,
body" replied Mr.. Hoy.
Possibly the latter's conception Of the
''poor Bavarlan" is explanation for his Civ
ing his custodian the slip Shortly after his
arrest Schieber wrote to an uncle living in
Pennsylvania. 1t is thought that the
prisoner is simply stopping off
to see his Pennsylvania kins-
men before going over to his native country
to face the charge of murder. It is thought
that if Schieber manages to get into the
woods, which are heavy in some parts of
western New York, there will be very great
doubt his recapture. There is no reward
offered on the murderer, and it will conse-
quently be difficult to get people interested
in the search.
