A New Campaign for the Fund.

The State Agricultural School at Kings
ton has opened n new campaign TO secure
the land grant fund which is in the posses
sion of Brown University, and over which
there was so much effort expended last
spring by both institutions to obtain it.
Friends of the Agricultural School intend
to hold public meetings in the different
towns of the State and gain the sympathy
OF the citizens in their behalf. Circular
letters have been sent TO the school officers
throughout the State to prepare for these
assemblies. Accompanying these letters
are two circulars. One gives the state
other gives a summary of the acts of Con
gress affecting the school and the action of
Brown University in regard to the fund.
This letter is signed b. +. Helme, secre-
tary of the citizens committee.

WOONSOCKET.

The controversy between Coroner Lee
and Overseer of Poor rhurber still con-
tinues, the coroner having published
another letter defending his position main
tanned in his report of the cause of the
death of the man who was asphyxiated
with gas at the Monument House Oct. o.
The coroner, in his report, publicly CEN
sured the overseer for neglect OF duty
which indirectly caused the death of the
unfortunate man. Thurber Immediately
replied, stating the facts as he saw them
and denying the coroner's allegations in
toto.
Coroner Lee in public letter said that
Thurber's statements when testifying
under oath and when writing letters are
radically different, and offers to publish
his testimony to prove Thurber's alleged
carelessness And so the fight goes on,
the public generally believing .Overseer
Thurber to be in the right, as his previ-
Gus reputation would not sustain the
charges made. This public contest be-
tween two well-known city officials right
in the midst of q hot political campaign

The entertainments given were of the high

character to bring good audiences. The
best business of the season was lone with
the guitar and mandolin club. The sale of
season tickets was $1,000. This would
doubtless be largely increased next year. 1t
is possible that Mr.. Conner will secure the
management of the circuit. He has GER

it.

BRADsrREEr's concludes an elaborate
review of the silver situation with this
opinion:
Piospectively it is thought by those con-
versant with the silver market that the fac
tors now in sight will, on the whole, tend
to sustain silver prices, and may ultimately
cause an advance. The early summer
months will possibly bring with them in
creased dullness and a little lower range OF
values. 1t is noticeable that the amount OF
bullion coming from the west is quite large
and may be liable to increase to some eX-
tent. The element, however, which seems
to give the greatest promise of an improve
ment is the prospect of large crops III india.
Although the shipping season will not open
until September, every prospect at the mo-
ment is reported to Dc favorable to the de-
velopment of an active trade, and with this
it is expected that a heavy demand for
silver will assert itself. Such prospects
naturally tend to sustain silver prices, II
may not be without influence even at this
time,

TREASURY OPERATIONS.

Secretary Foster, if he is correctly
reported by the st. Louis Globe Demo
crat. proposes to adopt some financial
measures of Importance to he country.
Speaking on the small coin question the
secretary said that congress had appro-
priated $4,000 for recolning ~uncurrent
subsidiary coin. That appropriation
would be available July |, and with it
about 100000 could be coined. The
new coin could nearly all be quarters,
as quarters were the most in use and
the most abraded. Two-thirds of the
subsidiary coins were half dollars, and
nothing but dimes had been coined
since 1878, SO that if the quarters are
made over a practically new and attrac-
tive subsidiary coin will be had. In
further conversation the secretary gave
hint of a more important financial
operation. 1t is nothing less than es-
tablishing the rate of interest on gov
eminent bonds at two per cent. This
has been the dream Of every secretary
from John Sherman down, and now Sec
rotary Foster believes he sees the OPP
portunity to make the bold stroke and
at the same time save some needed mil
lions to the surplus. While he has not
determined definitely to announce this
important departure, the secretary is
evidently much impressed with the bril-
liancy of his idea. OF the s50,0oo,Oo0
41s-per-cent bonds which expire Sept. |,
s23, 900, 1000 are held to secure national
bank currency; the rest are in trust
funds and private hands. The interest
on these bonds was anticipated by Sec
rotary Window. SO that any holders
surrendering them now can get princl-
pal and interest. Secretary Foster pro
poses to continue these bonds in their
present function by offering to stamp
them SO that they can draw two per
cent. interest for a term Of years yet to
be decided. Mr.. Foster proposes to pay
two per cent interest to the holders of
the expiring 4l5-per-cent. bonds, if they
do not present them for cancellation.
The banks who have the las up to Sc
cure circulation ought to be glad to
avail themselves of the chance to o n
tinue undisturbed, and private holders,
in the absence of other investments pay
ing better, will, it is believed. be willing
to draw two per cent. rather than pay
a premium for higher returns or run the
risk of delay in securing an investment.
Should the bond idea succeed and the
subsidiary coin plan work the surplus
would be increased upwards of fifty or
sixty millions.
