ADuAu s. HEwlTT's ARGUMENT.

Abram S. Hewill, whose health did not
permit him to be present in person. sent
a written argument to President Smith,
Of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr., Hewitt
says:
:By law the standard of value in the
United States is Il dollar, containing 2a.S
grains Of gold, 8 fine. All other forms of
money, including legaltepder notes, Ma
tionai bank notes, silver dollars and silver
certificates are maintained at par with the
gold dollar only because in some form or
other they are redeemed by the United
States Government in gold dollars of the
above standard.
.Whcn pure silver is worth 81 pcrounce,
the gold dollar will purchase 4SO grains of
pure silver. The quantity of pure silver
in the present standard dollar is 371L4
grains, equal to Al2la grains, 3 fine. BY
opening the minis to the free coinage of
silver, it is proposed to make 37lA grains
Of pure silver worth rs much as the gold
dollar, which, ut the present rate, will

Later Gossip.

w 1. sum-
The attitude Of the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad toward the Gould-Inman
alliance is becoming interesting in view
of President Eckstein N0rton's sudden
resignation yesterday at the meeting Of
his board of directors. Rumors have as
signed all sorts Of reasons other than the
simple one in regard to his health and
private interests, which he set forth in
his letter to the directors
The Sun has authentic information
that an arrangement was made between
the Richmond Terminal and the L. l. n.
systems prior to the recent furry in
Wall street. 1t was temporarily dropped
at that time. Aftcrward, when Mr.. Gould
and Mr.. Inman had reached an under
standing about the two organizations Of
the Southern territory, they decided that
the Louisville 4 Nashville was necessary
factor. 1t was not essential that Mr..
Gould and the Richmond Terminal should
absorb or lease the L. & n But they had
to bind it down to some traffic arrange
ment, in order to force their terms upon
the Pennsylvania, with the cooperation
of the L. & NJ, could make strong oppo-
siton in the South.
It,s believed that Mr.. Gould gave Mr..
Norton to understand that he was ex-
pected to fall into line. But about this
time the Pennsylvania people saw the
game, and straightway strong pressure
was brought to preserve the L. l. Ms. in
dependence, not to say that the Pennsyl-
vania might like to have controlling in
tercst in Mr.. Norton's system. Mr.. Nor
ton found himself between two fires, and
which side he favored he was sure to have
| trouble
One story is that Mr.. Norton really
wished to make an arrangement with his
old friend, Mr.. Imam, for harmonizing
the L. & N. and the Terminal systems,
when there suddenly developed strong
counter current in the board Of directors
opposing the close compact with any one
line or combination. If they should
make such compact there would be q
breach with the Pennsylvania railroad,
from which the L. & N. gets great deal
of business. Mr.. Norton recognized the
hand of Mr.. Roberts. August Belmont,
Jr., is said to have headed the opposition.
Thcreupon, Mr.. Gould was dispeased
that part of his scheme was check mated,
and an i'll wind blew in the direction Of
Mr.. Norton. SO he found it safest to re-
tire from Office and let the younger men
guide the road between the warning mag

have developed an unexpected capacity

volume of currency, and even if we have
demonstrated the usefulness of such an
increase, these conditions fall short OF in

unlimited silver coinage.

CHARLESTON, w VA, June 26.-Ad
jutant General B. II. Oxley has received
official notice from Gen. j. c. Kelton,
Adjutant General of the United States
Army, that the Secretary of War has
directed Capt. Gregory Barrett, Tenth
United States Infantry, stationed at
Wheeling, to visit and inspect the en-
campment of the West Virginia Ma
tional Guard and make his report to
the Inspector General United States
Army. and First Lieutenant Edward
S. Avis, Twentieth United States In
fantry, stationed at Morgantown, to
assist in the instruction OF the troops
while in camp and make report to the
Adjutant General OF the State. Gen.
Oxley says the time for the encampment
has not yet been fixed, but thinks il will
be held about the first week in Septem-
ber,and that every officer and number OF
the National Guard will be in attend
ance, unless detained by sickness and
that the encampment will be week OF
much work and instruction for the oili-
GERS and men. The detailing OF two
officers of the regular army by the Sec
rctary of War, shows that great in
tereSt is being manifested In the organ
ization and efficiency of our State
troops, and the presence of the officers
will no doubt add greatly toward ac-
complishing good results at the encamp-
ment.

NEVER HAPPIER.
NR. PARN7LL MOR3 TEAM SATISFIED WITH
EIS KITTY.
The Irish Leader Will Take an Active Part in
the Carlow Rlechon-Kitty Will Attend
the Suit Over IN. Sltham Property.
Parrsl to Visit America.

LONDON, Jvne 26.-Mr Parnell during
his interview at Brighton to-day upon
his marriage to Mrs. O'Shea said that
he found it impossible TO procure Il
marriage license for any country church
and in order TO prevent delay he thought
it best TO have the ceremony performed
at the Registary Office at Steyning,
near Brighton. Mr.. Parnel add
ed that the church cere-
mony would be celebrated in
London so soon as he and Mrs.
Parnell were able to put in fortnightS
residence there. This would prOba-
bly, be after the elections at Carlow for
a successor in Parliament to the late
O'Gorman Mahon. Mr.. Parnell, also
referring to the religious ceremony
which is to take place in London, said
that even in this he would do mis- best
to prevent outsiders from being present,
especially reporters, ''..he added, with
smile.
Asked II he intended to take an ac-
tive part in the Carlow election, Mr..
Pdrnc.l replied: Il shall certainly go
to Carlow. In fact. start tomorrow
night If | can possibly manage to do so.
| am confident that we shall win"
This election may be stated, is tho
only election since the OShea divorce
proceedings which Mr.. Parnell has had
chance of winning. He will take
Mrs. Parnell with him to
Carlow if he can possibly
do so, but Mrs. Parnell is
known to be bad sailor, and on the
other hand, she is compelled 10 remain
near her lawyers owing TO the coming
trial of the will suit in which she and
her brothers are interested in respect to
the Ethan property.
Mr. Parnell intends In the future to
devote special attention to the Irish in
dustria question in which he is more in
terested than any other question at
present. Recently Mr.. Parnell has
given general support TO Mr.. Balfour's
Irish Land BILL believing 1t is a good
bill.
In conclusion, Mr.. Parnell said he in
tends. if possible, to visit the United
States during the coming autumn, being
of the opinion that the sentiment OF the
Irish and Irish-Americans on the other
side of the Atlantic is in his favor. Con-
sequently, Mr.. Parnell will try to attend
the Irish National Convention to be held
at Baltimore, Md, during the fall.
When Mr.. Parnell was asked what he
thought would be the political effect OF
his marriage to Mrs. O'Shea, he said
that he had not given that question q
thought and that he did not intend to
think OF what the effect of his marriage
would be. He and his wife, Mr.. Par
nell explained, were perfectly happy
and he was now experiencing greater
happiness than ever previously during
the entire course of his life. The re-
porter with whom MIR. Parnell had this
interview, adds: II never saw Mr.. Par
nell in a moro healthy condition or in
better spirits"

FOUND IN A CAR.
An Old PocIxetbook Containing Notes and
Papers.

Special Telegram 10 me he0ts,e!.
PARKERsBURG, W. VA, June 20
While tearing up the flooring in an old
Ohio River railroad freight car to-day
for repairs, large leather pocketbook
was found jammed down under the
floor. The book contained no money,
but was filed with valuable papers
which may lead TO III, arthing some
robbery or murder. Among the papers
were two notes dated Hyndman, Pa,
March and April, 81, for S175 and $500,
notes, made payable to Solomon Emer-
ick, signed David Evans. An abstract
Judgment for several hundred dollars in
favor of Jacob limerick, Somerset, Pa,
and a sealed note for $40, payable 10
the order of Daniel Koins, were among
the papers. The book and papers are
in the possession OF Chief of Police
Weber. II is believed that robbers,
after committing some of their depreda-
tions, had divided the spoils in the old
car, and fearing that possession OF these
valuable papers might lead to their
arrest and conviction they had con-
ccaled them where they were found.

sion as evidence of the World article

that it tended to show provOcation, and
the state of the mind of w. j. Elliott.

the defense was drifting from one Of
