and then returned and went deliberate
ly TO the government wharf at Valpa-

came out with tiaring headlines. stating
that owing to the kindness of the Amer

possession of the fact that the revoIu-

COL. FRENCH IN JAIL.
His Wealthy Friends VIII No
Come Forward.


BosTON, Nov. 5. - Col. Jonas II.
French, in default of $4,000 bail, has
been committed to Charles street jail.
Since his arrest on Monday ne has been in
the custody of the United States marshal,
and has been making strenuous efforts
to obtain bail, but the man who a short
time ago was surrounded by influential,
financial, political and social friends
found his closest associates so far out of
his reach when disaster came that not
even the few thousand dollars needed
to keep him out of Jail could
be found by himself or his
counsel. But two men presented
themselves TO sign the bond of $4,000
required TO secure him his lib
erty, and neither was nearly qualified
to assume the responsibility. During
the day John StetsOn was appi ed to
by friend of MIR. French and he said
he would furnish bail providing S75.OO0
IN good securities were placed in his
hands as an indemnity in case French
forfeited his bonds, The friends of Col.
French, who were willing to give an in
demnity bond, have been engaged
nearly all day in efforts to comply with
Mr.. StetSOn's requirement but were I'M
able to make the necessary arrange
ments and the commitment was made
early this evening. The run on the

WASHINGTON. Nov. 5.-Under the
authority contained III the act of con-
greSs approved Sept. %, 1890, the di-
rector OF the mint has prepared new de-
signs for our silver coins which have
met the approval of the secretary of the
treasury and the appreciation of all that
have seen them. The new designs are
intended for the subsidiary silver coins,
the half-dOllar, quarter-dOlIar and dime,
and may be described as follows: On
the diverse, or face of the coin,
is an ideal female head represent
alive of Liberty, looking to the
right with calm and dignilied express
sion, with an olive wreath around the
head and cap on back. On q band, or
flict. over the front of tie head is in
scrlbed the words Liberty" and over
the head at the top Of the coin is the
motto "In God We Trust" Around the
medallion are thirteen stars, represent
ing the thirteen original states, and at
the bottom the date Of the coinage.
On the reverse, OF back of the coin,
appears the seal of the United States,
as adopted in 1872, which may be de
Scribed as follows: An eagle displayed
with open wing. charged on the breast
shield argent, six pallets guleS,
chief azure, holding in the
dexter claw an olive branch,
representing peace; and in the sinister
claw sheaf of thirteen arrows repre-
senting war. In its DeaK the eagle holds
a scroll containing the motto "E Pluri-
bus Unum" unsigned above and about
the head with thirteen stars enVirOned
10y clouds. This will DE the design of
the half dollar and quarter dollar. while
the dime will have tor the diverse, or
| face, the same head as the half and
quarter dollar, except that in place of
the stars there will be the inscription
United States of America" The
motto IN God We Trust" will be omit
ted from the dime. The reverse Of the
| dime will be the same as at present in
use. The design for the reverse of the
! half dollar aud the quarter dollar is a
return 10 the design OF almost the first
! coinage of the country.
