Will Add to the Value of Farm Products.
WASHINGTON, D. c., February 26.-Secre-
taiy Window was before the house COM
mittee on coinage, weights and measures
for the purpose of having an interchange
of opinion on the subject of silver coinage
with members of the committee. He de-
cared that his bill was formed to meet, In
the best way he could devise, the present
financial situation of the country, and he
disaVowed all of the charges that the bill
was mere make-shift; that its author did
not believe in 1t, and that it was brought
forward to defeat some other measure. He
said he was really strong friend OF silver,
although some people did not think so, and
he was ANXIOUS for some measure that
would enhance its value. He then defended
the sections of his bill, and in the course of
his remarks, IN speaking of the objection
that the bill made a commodity OF silver
and degraded it from lis high use a money
metal, said that he thought this was sem
tlmental objection. His purpose was not to
de- rade silver, but to bring it up as nearly
as he could to an equality with gold. There
was no doubt that silver of late years had
deprecated in value and gold had appreci-
ated, but in his Judgment the present bill
would be a remedy for that trouble. he
was convinced that the measure would
meet all the needs of the situation without
endangering the interests of the country
and would absorb the surplus of silver and
thereby put up It's price csrta My and rap
idly. He wanted to meet the situation IN a
conservative manner.
In answer to aguestion by Representative
Conger, Mr.. Window said there would be
no reasonable objection to Including gold
in the first section of the bill. To benefit
the interest of the silver producers was not
the only motive in the bill. He believed IN
aiding everybody affected by the bill. He
thought, he said, that the wheat "a; sers of
the country were more interested than the
silver people, for the farmers were heavy
losers on account of the depression in silver
and the operation of this bill would tend to
raise the prices of farm products. free
coinage, Mr.. Window said, would reduce
the price of silver below its present value.

CHICAGO, February 21.-Advices from diff

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Fhsy Are TsbboOed by the Catholic Clergy
efNeWark. n. j., Who Read Orders
From the Altar, as Directed
by Their Bishop.
The Order Ignored by Most OF the Catholic
Residents. Who Oppose the Action
Of the Bishop and May Induce
Him to Reconsider.

NEW YoRK, February 25.-The Catholic
clergy of the diocese of Newark have begun
q carefully planned effort to compel Cath
olic parents to withdraw their children from
the public schools.
The first broad intimat;on came with the
announcement that Bishop W Rger had Or
dared the children of Catholic parents
throughout the diocese of Newark to he
taken from the public schools and forced
TO attend the parochial schools.
At the morning service IN St Patrick's
cathedral, of which Monsignor Doane is
pastor, Father Herman, the assistant pastor,
issued to the parents q notice to withdraw
their children at once. A similar order was
announced from the pulpit of almost every
Catholic church in the city, but, so far a.
can be discovered, the order has been gen.
orally ignored. The attendance of Catholic
scholars is almost as large as usual, but it
is feared that intimidation will be used and
their attendance will be prevented. 1t IS
arranged that no Catholic child will be per-
mitted to attend Sunday school who cannot
show q certificate of scholarship In one OF
the parochial schools.
There is no doubt that the Catholics of
Newark will, as q body, strenuously oppose
this action of Bishop Wigger; The parents
of the children believe that the curriculum
of study in the public schools of the city is
best adapted to the intellectual advance
ment of the scholars. They see no reason
why they should be coerced b. Bishop
Wigger.
The priests claim that the influence of
the secular teaching in the public schools
blunts the interest the children would other
wise take in the religion of their parents,
and that this fact will have baneful effect
upon the future prosperity of the church.
Bishop Wigger could not be seen. but
there are many who believe that the COM
motion likely to be created will comrsl him
to reconsider his order

GRIN Exports Heavy and Wheat Higher.
NEW YORK, February 24.-R. 6. Dun d
CO.. weekly review of trade says:
While the prevailing impression in Vari-
Gus circles is rathec less confident than 1t
was q week ago, there are several signs OF
improvement. Cooler weather has caused
little more activity in some lines of trade.
Wheat is = little Stronger. and vlthous
clearly defined reason, there Is tirmer
tone in the eastern markets, while the re-
duction In the Bank of England rate from
6 to 5 per cent, with its large gam OF $4,-
1000 in gold, during the past week, dimin-
isheS the chance of announcement demands
from abroad. On the other hand, general
trade is not increasing In volume or IN
profits, and while its soundness Is indicated
by the occurrence of fewer failures as many
expected as the result of phenomenally un-
seasonable weather, the complaint of slow
collections is common and rather increas-
ing. Wool sells slowly. Coal is very dull.
Hardware dull. The liquor trade Is fair.
Tobacco is quiet, with slow collections, and
the grain trade generally depressed, with
collections very poor. At hicago the gram
receipts exceed those of last year, and cattle
and hog receipts are nearly doubled, with
some improvement in hides and wool, but
no change is seen in clothing. The shoe
trade ID only fair. Fair reports come from
most western and southern points, but at
Kansas City trade is rather inactive.
Wheat exports are still much above last
years and the price has risen 23s. with re-
ports of injury to the growing crop. Corn
exports largely exceed last years and the
price Is 4 lower, with oats q lower. Pork
products are steady and moving outward
fairly, and oil, after decreasing a million
in value of exports in January, has declined
IL cents for the week. Speculation in
coffee is stronger at 20 cents, but sugar has
not changed. The local money mar set has
been easy at unchanged rates, although the
treasury took in last week $4,000 moro
than 1t paid out, and exterior exchanges
with some cities have been adverse.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the past seven days
number 81. For the same week of last
year the figures were 30.
