great speech which he had just made at

REAPED HIS REWARD.
The Monaco Police Commissioner Takes
His Own Life.

New York, Jan. %. = Advices from
Monaco state that NJ. de Gourlet. for many
years Police Commissioner of the place, has
committed suicide. He was the repository
OF more terrible secrets concerning life at
the gay little capital than any other person.
AS Commissioner of Police he was accus-
toned to keep an exact statistical record of
death at Monaco. and it was his duty to
place bank-notes in the pockets of those
who had taken their lives, in order to pre-
vent people from saying that despair and
poverty had driven them to suicide.

WINDOWS LAST SPEECH.
The Secretary Treats of Our Shipping Inter-
ests and Currency

The Secretary Treats of Our Shipping Inter-
ests and Currency.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Secretary Window
confined his remarks to transportation and
money. Under the first head he spoke
strongly of the decadence of our
foreign carrying trade, and said If we would
regain our lost prestige we must make a
conquest with the same weapons which have
proved so successful in the hands of cur
rivals.
On the topic of money the Secretary said
the ideal financial system would be one
that should furnish just enough abso-
lutely sound currency to meet the lesiti-
mate wants of trade, and have enough
elasticity of volume to adjust itself to the
varying necessities of the people Could such
medium be secured, the grave commercial
disasters which threaten our future might
be averted. These disasters always come
when uuuSual activity in business causes an
abnormal demand for money, as in the
autumn for the movement of our immense
crops.
DANGEROUS SYSTEMS.
There will always be great danger at
those times under any cast-iron system Of
currency, such as we now have. Had it
not been for the peculiar conditions
which enabled the United States Treasury
10 diSDurse over SO, ,O0O. COO in two and half
months last fall. the StrnGency would have
resulted in widespread financial ruin.
In the opinion o; the Secretary our bonded
debt should he in part exchanged for inter-
convertible bonds bearing low interest.
and always interchang cable for money at the
Will of the people. He believing there is
not enough of either gold or silver in the
world to get the necessities of business.
WINDo Ms VIEWS
The Secretary said he was an earnest BIZ
metalist, and conceded to no ome stronger
desire for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver as soon as conditions can be reached
through an international agreement or
otherwise, by which such coinage will be
safe, but 1t was his firm conviction that for
this country 10 enter upon that experimen.
now would result not in bimetalism. but in
silver monometalism, which would produce
swift and sure contraction and eventually
reduce the market value of silver
In conclusion the Secretary said: ''Gfye
US direct and ample transportation facilities
under the American flag and controlled by
American citizens. currency sound in Quail
lty and adequate in quantity, an interna-
uonal bank to facilitate exchanges and sys-
tenn OF reciprocity carefully adjusted within
the lines OF protection, and not only will our
foreign commerce again invade every sea-

OF new and enduring prosperity"

have no idea that the attempt will be sue

by the Republican Senators until Aldrich re-
