Minister Ecan,s silence.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September l.
Not a word Of news has been received
at the State Department from Minister
Egan respecting the state of affairs in
Chilli, says the brief telegram sent last
week, telling Of an unimportant skirm-
ish. The officials of the Department
are at loss to explain this reticence on
the part Of the Minister, except upon
the theory that telegraphic communica-
tion between Valparaiso, the cable ter
minus, and Santiago the capitol, where
Minister Egan resides, is not yet fully
restored

STEWART ON SHERMAN.

He Says the Ohio Senator Misrepresented
the Miners-Sherman's Position At
tackled.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 1.-Sena-
tor Stewart, of Nevada, has returned
here from Mexico. In regard TO Senator
John Sherman's recent silver speech he
said: "Mr. Sherman misrepresents the
miners, if he is correctly reported. 1t
is not true that they ever asked or re-
ceived more than the market value for
their bullion. Under the Bland act,
which was in force from 1878 TO 1890,
the government bought silver at its
market price, coined 1t, Issued certiti-
Gates thereon at It's coin value and made
net profit according to the statement
of the Director of the Mint OF 81, 900, 900.
Under the act of 1890, which repealed
the Bland act, the government receives
400, 600 ounces of silver bullion per
month, and issues therefor legal tender
treasury notes for its market valne. No
money raised by taxation is used In the
purchase of silver, but legal tender
treasury notes are issued by the govern
ment In exchange for bullion at its mar
ket value in gold-nothing more, moth
ing less.
1.-THE position of Mr.. Sherman, in
limiting the coinage and making silver
dollar worth as much as gold dollar,
by promise OF redemption in gold, is
absurd. Under such an arrangement
silver is mere credit money and no bet
ter than paper. Why go TO the expense
OF mining silver when paper will answer
the same purpose? Before silver was
demonetized both gold and silver were
money Of ultimate redemption; since sill
yer was demonetzed there has been no
material increase in the gold coin Of the
world"

A Tough Crowd.

Tuesday about noon three tramps called

buying ring of them, and also insulted her

Ethan Graham, held him up and stole his
watch. Officer Retain was sent for, to arrest
the men who had gone down the ID. & M.
track near the new Estey factory. He soon
found them in a box car, ordering them out.
One of the men asked him If he was an OFF,
Ger and on being told he was drew revolv-
er and threatened to blow out Retains
brains. Mr.. Retain was unarmed and the
fellow jumped out and ran off, making his
escape. Retain called for help and a num-
Der of men from the Estey factory respond
ed. Another of the tramps-Ed. MELON

liberty with the crowd in pursuit. He was
knocked down by car coupler, his head
being cut open so that seven stitches were
required to sew it up. While the crowd

School Matters.

The very large increase in school attend
ance over one year ago has necessitated
some changes in boundary lines between
schools as announced before school began.
Some of these changes have been as I'M
satisfactory to parents as they have been
unpleasant to teachers. The boundaries as
first mentioned have caused an even distr-
button of pupils at different buildings i'm the
majority of the grades; but, in some cases,
we have found grade at one school with
several more pupils than desks, and cor
responding grade at another building, with
some extra. seats. To equalize matters, we
have transferred some pupils in crowded
grades to another building. In making
transfers, it has been our intention to trans
fer those who lived nearest to the building
to which pupils were transferred.
We will try to make no more changes than
absolutely necessary and trust that parents
will be as patient as possible. In making
these later changes, it has been found i'm
possible to divide by certain streets.
Respectfully,
j. w. SIMMONS.
