QUANTITY NOT QUALITY
THE ANIMUs OF THE MONETARY
QUESTION.
Senator Stewart and General Warner
Enlighten the Bean n-Eaters on the
"Other Side" of tho Silver Problem.

BosroE, Feb. 13.-About 800 people
gathered in Faneuil hall this evening at
the call of committee of citizens to
hear "the other side" of the silver ques-
ton from Senator Stewart, of Nevada,
and ex-Representative Warner, of Ohio.
Senator Stewart, during the last half Of
his speech, was applauded at nearly
every sentence. He said in part .stThe
silver question is only an incident OF the
money question. Money is essential
to civilization. The value of
money, like that of everything
else, depends on the law of supply and
demand. The ratio of silver and gold is
the only manner to determine what
quantity of money would circulate
among the people. These gold con-
tractionists would change every con-
tract to one payable in gold alone.
They say quality is more important
than quantity, but quality depends on
quantity, because the price OF money is
governed by the law OF supply and de-
mand."
Ex-Representative Warner expound-
ed and illustrated the proposition that
the silver question was entirely one OF
quantity.

Will Cause Stir In England, Canada and

tlA0 OnAtCsA 0S6tCSs74-
Sr. JoHN, Feb. 13.-Immediately after
the reading of the governors. speech at
the opening of the legislature today,
Colonial Secretary Bond proposed reso-
lutions reciting certain statements re-
garding reciprocity negotiations, which
will cause stir'in Canada, the United
States and England. During the discus
sion several of the most notable Con-
servative members expressed strong
sentiments in favor of annexation, and
in condemnation OF the unfriendly atti-
tude Of Canada. The resolutions were
supported by the opposition, passed
unanimously, and sent to the legislative
council for concurrence.
The preamble states that on July 9Th
the Newfoundland delegates proposed
to the British government that New
foundland should be permitted to nego-
tiate convention for reciprocal trade
with the United States. On September
9Th this proposal was acquiesced in. On
December 10th satisfactory conven-
ton was arranged and accepted on be-
half of the United States government
by Secretary Blaine. Though strongly
urged, by Newfoundland, the British
government up to date has declined to
ratify the convention.
The resolutions declare that the house
views with profound disappointment
and alarm the failure of her majesty's
government to carry out its solemn OBJ
legations to the colony, and is aware Of
the interference of Canada, and cannot
fail to appreciate the same as menace
to the independence Of the colony. The
members emphatically protest, and re-
gard delay as evincing utter disregard
for the prosperity OF the colony, and
calculated to permanently disturb the
loyalty for which the colony has in the
past been remarkable.

THE FEELINGS OF GENERAL sHER
MANS FAMILY WOUNDED.
Heartless Gossip Published About the
Sick Mans Spiritual Consolation
General Still Struggling For Life.

NEW York, Feb. 13.-The family of
General Sherman were greatly annoyed
today at the publication, in the Times,
of the article referring to the admins
tering of the extreme JUNCTION to the
general. The article in question re-
ferred to the fact that the general is not
a Catholic, although his family are OF
that faith. II was intimated that the
sacrament 0fextreme junction was ad-
ministered while he wassin an uncon-
scious state, leaving the inference to be
drawn that it was without his permis-
sion. Many hax--infsssnosas-nn;ghe
nave Been drawn from the article, dis
agreeable to the family.
The generals son. p. Tecumseh Sher-
man, in conversation with other re-
porters, today, was indignant at the
insinuations in the article. He said a
priest was called in at the request OF the
family, and the extreme JUNCTION was
administered, also at their request. 1t
was true the general might not have
been conscious of what was going on,
but there had been no secrecy about it
whatever.
Tonight Senator John Sherman sent
the Times this letter.
GENTLEMEN: A paragraph in your
paper this morning gives very erron-
eous view of an incident in General
Sherman's sick chamber, which wounds

it proper to correct. Your reporter in
Inmates that advantage was taken of my
temporary absence to introduce Cath
olic priest into General Sherman's cham
ber, to administer the rite of extreme
JUNCTION to the sick man, in the nature
of claim that he was a Catholic. It is
we'll known that his family have
been reared by their mother,
devout Catholic, in her faith,
and now they cling to it.
It is equally we'll known that General
Sherman and myself, as well as all my
mothers children, are by inheritance
education and connection Christians
but not Catholics, and this has been
openly avowed on all proper occasions
by General Sherman; but he is too good
a Christian, and too human man, ia
deny his children the consolation oI
their religion. Hewas insensible at the

death, but if he had been we'll and in

tory by the parties to the negotiations.
At the last moment Parnell demanded
that the pledge that Ireland should have
final control of the police, should have
mandatory force, provided a Conserva-
tive lord-lieutcnant was in power. This
curious demand puzzled the Gladston-
ians, who replied that they failed to see
how they could bind the Conservative
majority in the imperial parliament,
which would be the necessary corollary
OF a Conservative viceroy. Parnell then
snapped the negotiations.

Against That Company. <.

Against That Company. e.
CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-What purports to
be the first authoritative statement
made BY the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe people in regard to the recent
charges made against the management
Of that company, will appear in the next
issue Of the Railway Age. In it Chair
man Magoun holds that rates are being
maintained, and explains the dissolu-
tion of the pass agreement. He says
President Marvel had conclusive evil
dences that several lines had authorized
the extension of passes issued for busi-
ness purposes in 1890, to February ], !,
1891, and until countermanded. Manvei
proposed that as the agreement did not
provide remedies for violations, that all
questions be referred to Chairman
Walker for decision, but the COM
mittee elected to issue notice
to dissolve. In regard to the Jacksonville
Southeastern matter, Magoun says that
the road only sold tickets at rates pre-
vlously made by other roads. The
notice given by Chairman Filly that
Jacksonville Southeastern tickets will
not be honored by any line in the ASSOC
ciation II sold at reduced rates after
February 18th, will in Magoun's opin-
ion, be completely effective for the pro-
soction Of tho interests involved.

LONDON, Feb. 13.-[Copyrighted, 1891, !,
by the New York Associated Press. J
1t is the general opinion that the bal
ance Of the advantage resulting from
the Boulogne negotiations remains with
Parnell. Mccarthy and colleagues pub
licly say they are satisfied with their
position. Privately they are indignant
at being checkmated by the tactics OF
the Parnellites. Their meeting today
disclosed their depression and apathy.
Only fifteen members were present, and
they appointed committee to organize
the party in Ireland to combat the Par
nellites. The latter say they are rap
idly gaining strength, and the bulk Of
the nationalists will resume their allegi-
ance to Parnell.
THE CANADIAN SITUATION
attracts much attention here, and the
government manifests great concern in
the outcome of the campaign. 1t is
felt that Canada is about to decide a
momentous question affecting all Of the
English colonies. The government rec
ognizes the fact that active measures are
necessary to revive the dropping trade
between Canada and England. Last
year there were only G12, 900, 600 worth
OF Canadian imports, while from the
United States, England took E79, ,0O0, GOO
worth. As
A MEANS OF WEAVING CANADA
from any longings after reciprocity or
absorption, the government has decided
to back to an almost unlimited extent
the projected mail routes to Japan and
Australia via the Canadian Pacific rail-
road. In connection with it, it is pro-
posed to run line between port in
the south OF England and Halifax, un-
der government subsidy, and to inn
mediately proceed to fortify Esquimault
as first-class naval; station. The new
route, il isclaimed, would effect q saving
in time Of thirty hours between England
aud Chicago, az compared with the New
York route. Eleven days after leaving
London, the passenger would be in Van
couver. Its competition with the San
Ffancisco route would be Important in
view of the fact that the new route would
be 900 miles shorter to and from Europe.
1t is also claimed that in the event OF
war it would help British ships to con-
troll the Pacific ocean.
