then estimate the difference were

William H. Beck Opposes Free Silver
Before the House Commit
tee on Coinage.
Ex-G White Writes a Letter
Claiming Free Coinage Would
be Disastrous.
"The Parsee Merchant" Says Demonetiza-
tion Did mot Cause tho Decline
in Silver Bullion.

WARRINGTON, Feb. 19.-The house coinage
committee to-day listened to an argument
by WIN. H. Beck, who ia engaged in silver
mining in Montana. He opposed free coin
age on the ground that he believed the
present law, which took 54,OOOOO ounces
OF silver annually ont OF the market, and
absolutely locked 1t mp, was better thing
for the silver miner than free coinage, un-
der which all silver would be On the mar
ket. He did not think free coinage Iegisla.
tion alone could raise the price OF silver
bullion to its coin value. He read letter
from Ex-Gov. White, of Montana express
ing qualification at the fact that free coir-
age could not pass this congress
and declaring that free coinage would
be great disaster to the silver
industry. The sentiment Of the people, the
letter said, was changing. II congress were
to pass free coinage law, he insisted that
1t should be provided that gold dollars
could be exchanged at the treasury for sill
YER dollars. or vice versa, and il either
metal went up or down the government
should stand in the breach and bear the
loss.
j. 8. Moore, the "Parsee merchant"
made statement to the effect that it was
not demonetizing Of silver by the United
States which caused the decline in the value
OF silver, but the smaller demand for silver
in India and the larger supply Of silver, due
to the importance and Improvement in
transportation among Indian provinces.
Bartine closely questioned Moore and
called his attention to the fact that these
statements were in conflict with testimony
before the English royal commission, but
Moore insisted that mis- statements were
correct nevertheless.

them. Mr.. Sartoris is not pleasant kind
of individual, and Nellie found it out to
her cost within a short time after she had
married him, and that discovery was
one of tho great griefs of General

the conduct of her father-in-law. Up to

PersOnated ths Iron Prince.
BUDA PKsTH, Fob. 19.--The Pesther Lloyd
publishes and vouches for tho correctness In
details of letter relating to the famous
Abranyi interview. The letter asserts that
tho interview was 4 practical joke perpe-
trated upon Abranyi. the Hungarian deputy,
IN revenge for some fancied grievance.
According to the Pesther Lloyd, the result
was that man resembling Prince Bismarck
was induced to personate the ex-chan-
ceIlor. Abranyi is said to have bean de-
ceived into interviewing the Rismarckian
dummy. The interview here referred to is
the one which Herr Abranyi asserted no
had had with Prince Bismarck and in the
course Of which the ex-chancsllor was rep
resented AZ having said he believed his po-
litical resurrection to be by no means i'm
possible. Prince Bismarck denied ab-
solutely that he had granted an in
terview to Herr Abranyi, and sup
plemented the denial with tho statement
that he had declined to SEQ the gentle
man while tho latter was in Shonhausen.
This denial nnd statement Herr Abranyi
met by the publication of letter in which
he reafiirmed all that he had originally az
serted in connection with the disputed in
tervicw. Finally, Yielding to great pres
sure, Herr Abranyi resigned his seat in the
Hungarian diet in August last.
