New York Spectators and Their Immense
E Purchases.
A New York Mail aud Express special
from Washington, says Statements have
been made here during the last two OF
three days to the effect that o large cornsf
in silver has been consummated in New
York. The uncertainty which has existed
in regard to silver legislation has helped
the manipulators greatly, and the govern.
ment ia now compelled TO bring its silver
from England.
The amount Of bullion held BY New
Workers is estimated by some Of the most
extravagant at $4,000, 600 in bullion and
certificates, but the conservative and trust
worthy accounts place the total amount Of
bullion Of $4,000, 900. At this season Of
the year this 10 . large amount, because
the large mines in Colorado and Nevada
closed during the winter months, and the
output is not so great.
While these figures would cover the bull.
ion. it may be increased several millions Of
dollars by the numbeAof silver csrtiAcases
which have also been purchased BY the
spectators. It 10 Q fact that the govern.
ment has been compelled to buy its silver
in London, and to complete the deal the
New York people have been keeping even
with the government in purchasing abroad.
They have almost cosnered the market In
London.
Il is also q fact that the silver offered the
government at the assay Office in New
York has been at Q premium Of from 2 to
8 cents.
Silver Coming In.
The exports Of specie from the port Of
New York last week amounted 9 $4,000
all gold, of which $1,000 went to Europe
and $ll, 400 to South America. The i'm
ports Of specie amounted to $6O7. $40, Of
which sl7, O64 was in gold and $5S9, 57a
silver. This is the first week In many
years that nj silver was exported from this
port and this exception is undoubtedly due
to the anticipated silver legislation. Allthe
silver imported came from Europe. an ab-
normal movement also resulting from the
anticipated silver legislation.

John L. Adams, u barber whose place of
business is on Nicoilet avenue, near the
bridge, Minneapolis, has contributed an
interesting chapter to the annals Of
romance. He has eloped. HIS COM
panion is a charming 17-year- old girl.
Her name is Ida Sheihotf. She has been
living with her parents on Bohemian flats
in st. Paul.
Thu girls mother conducts a family
laundry, in which enterprise her daughter
insisted her. Saturday evening Ida said
she was going to visit some friends in
Minneapolis and promised to return Tues
day evening. She went. That is the EAST
her mother has seen of her. She ut once
Instituted q search for her daughter. It
was learned that Ida had not visited any
other girl friends in Minneapolis as she
was supposed to have done. Further in
vestigation revealed the true facts OF
affairs.
II seems that Adams, who is q swell
young barber, had announced in a general
way hat he was going to be married on
Sunday. Adams used to call on Ida, until
the latter's mother interposed strenuous
objections. She did not relish the idea Of
a "niggcr son-in-law," as she puts it.
Adams resented this insituation, for he Is
only an octoroon. 1t has been discov-
erel that Adams took passage for Omaha
and that he was accompanied by a g,rl
answering Ida's description. Adams is
given n first-class reputation by his fellow
workmen. Tho girls mother has an
nounced her intention of following tho
couple to Omaha.

Double Murder on the l.e..rv.t,o..

News has just been received at Fort
Sisseton of q tragedy OIL the reservation
near that place. 1t appears that Mrs.
Thomas, wife of a negro soldier whose
term OF enlistment expired a short time
ago. in the absence of her husband in
Montana. had been living with an Indian
whose name could not be learned. About
ten days ago Thomas returned from Mis-
soula, and. it is believed, on discovering
his wife's faithlessness murdered both her
and her paramour. although suspicion also
points strongly to an Indian woman, the
wife of the Indian who was killed. Thomas
disappeared directly after the murder and
is thought to have gone back to Montana.
The police are working on the case.

There is grave danger in northeastern
Kansas that the wheat crop will be a fail

that unless there is rain within three or

Iowa's joint Rate lsill.

The railroad commissioners, at their re-
ayers, gave the latter to understand that
there must be joint rates in Iowa or q fight.
The managers were reminded of their fire..
quent assertions before the joint rate law
passed that they did not put in the joint
rate because the law prohibited it and their
attention was called 10 the permissive nc
ction of the new law and to the require
nent of good faith that they do as they had
promised. This seems to have had a salu-
tary effect and the roads have decided to
put in voluntary JOINT tariffs. They will
probably not be given to all points, but
shippers at such places can appeal to the
commissioners, who will order the roads to
give them equal treatment. The commits
sioners to-day received n letter from Cen
eral Solicitor Wright. of the Rock Island,
saying: In view of the permission or
authority contained i'll the first section of
tue so-called Joint rate law and without
reference to or recognition of any other
portions of said law, 1 am instructed to
say that the several companies having
headquarters here have under consideration
the formation Of certain joint tariffs. 1
am directed to advise you OF this, for the
reason that it is thought the board may
have, pending the conclusion of the roads,
some inquiry touching action to be had on
the subject, and il is supposed that in no
event would any such action be taken I'M
til the roads had acted in the premises"
