OTHER countries are taking much longer strides in the remonetization of silver than the United States. The gold bugs in this country had better take some other stand against silver than the attitude which they now strike, namely that other countries do not want silver and this country can not remonetize the white metal to the extent of free coinage until they all agree upon it. A few instances of what is being done abroad is here giv- en: The POrtugese government has authorized the banks to pay their notes in silver and the government has begun eoining large quantities of that metal. A bill has been intro duced in the eortes authorizing the bank of Spain to increase it's issue of notes from $I.500,OOO (gold vaIue) to S3,OO0.O00 provided, that at the same time, it holds in coin and but lion as security. an amount equal tc one third of the notes outstanding, in- stead of one-fourth as at present. The bill further empowers the banK to is- sue notes in excess of S3.OOO,O00, pro- yided it holds in specie half the excess

These Are the Indians Who Have Been Doing Some
 Of the Work
Which Has Been Laid at the
 Door of Apaehes.

The capture of one of the Indians who robbed Gattrell's camp subse- quent to driving him of with a fusil- ade of bullets, has been made. He is a Mayo Indian and ere this, is in all probability in the Happy Hunting Grounds. From W c Green who was on the trail of the four horse thieves who stole one Of his horses, the PRos- RECTOR learns that the one who was captured was taken by the Mexican rangers and that all efforts to capture he others were unsuccessful
 The fellow who was taken was not a Mexican but a native Mayo Indian of a tribe who live in the mountains far in the interior. He talked good Eng fish and stated that he had been in Tucson with the Papagoes, also at San Carlos. He wore long hair in front just as Apaches do, also long be- hind. His features, dress and face were similar ta that of an Apache He carried in his belt red hsndker- chief, which he used to tie around his head in place of sombrero when after plunder. Nh Green says that if placed among Apaches on the San Carlos reservation it would take an expert to detect the difference, fl any, from an Apache.
 When captured he was crouched behind rock watching the rangers whe were approaching from the front. The latter had prepared for a fight and had adopted the tactics of the ApaChes and had the fellow surround. ed. While he was looking in front one of the rangers came down from behind and before he knew what was up, the muzzle of his rife was within ten feet of his head. He turned, saw his predicament and surrendered. He had U S carbine and two belts of U government cartridges. Where he procured them is a mystery. The cartridges were covered with white grease, denoting that they had been very recently taken from a box.
 The camp in the San Jose moun' lains where they had been camped showed signs ot four Indians. The evidence of this band having robbed GattrelPs camp were there in the shape of pieces of salvation army papers torn up in small pieces and used for cigarette papers. They also found pair Of brogans which answer to the description of the pair taken 1, from GaiTelPs house.
 Gatrell and Donuelly,i II will be re membered are ardent supporters and active workers in the army of the Lord, or Salvation army.
 If Mir Gatrell insists that an Indian attacked him, he is certainly correct from Mr Greens statement.

D. K. ALLEN, of Yuma, gives the following account of the appearanc. of the new discovery near Salton Lake and which hitherto has not been approachable:
 The whole volcanic region is en- crusted with sulphur covered more or less with drifting sands. The crust sounds hollow tO the tread of animal or beast. From the banks oi sulphur, from the volcanic rocks, from the hill- sides flow numberiess springs and streams, with water white as chalk bitter as gall water, the deposits oi which have all tine hues of the rain bow; water sweet as honey and water sour as alum can make 1t. Covering the same area are no less than 1OOO spings of water, hot, cold, salt fresh, bitter, sweet, alum. soda, chalybeate oil sulphur and hundred other va rites.
 Here IS the Baden Baden, of tht Western world, if not today then il will be little hence. The cures al- ready effected by these springs and baths in the hot mud are remarkable The earth is so hot that no one car hardly stand, sit or he down. Ons solitary mesquite tree, vigorous strong and large, grows out of one of the old volcanoes now dead. Under this tret on a blanket one can lie. although thu surface heat of the groand in summel stands at 95 to 100, and watch tho mysterious actions Of the thousands o craters near by and in sight I'm mystery of all is that right among th' hot springs there are two with goo resin cold water.

THE MYSTERY
 DEEPENS. Who is the Naked Man and Where is He From. Various Theories But No Clue Yet to
 His Identity.

The naked man is the sensation of the year. As the time rolls on he be- comes all the more an object of wonder He seemed SO rational and SO distant from anything like insanity, that the authorities considered 1t insanity on their part to take him before the Pro- bate Judge and he was taken instead before Justice Alvord on a charge Of indecent exposure.
 He was furnished with shirt and pair of Overalls which he put on under protest, and insisted on having a blanket over his person so that sign of clothing could be seen. He was brought before the justice and asked in casual way how they fed him at the jail, "Oh, very we'll but it's not DelmOnicO's" was his reply as he smiled at the comparison. To the question Vf which state he was from he replied: Do you expect to testify against myself?" When asked to plead he replied, mot guilty" His hearing was put off till day after to- morrow. He returned to the court house with Constable Broad. He gave his name as o. Homo. which suggest ed to one mans mind that he might have come from Omaha. Telegrams were sent east asking for descriptions of several men wanted for embezzle- ment or other crimes.
 The man is intelligent and smart. He is quick to see a point and is as cool as a man could be under more trying circumstances. When taken by Frank Broad in Charleston he | asked if the papers had been making any talk about him, Frank replied, "Yes they are full Of it all over the east Those who stood by and saw his expression, assert that he wilted peTceptibly but soon recovered his bold frout and remarked II suppose you think you have made big haul but you will find yourself fooled for your pains"
 To one person he will state that he came from Mexico to another, Kansas. He i- well posted ou Chicago and New York and speaks of the noted resorts fin these cities as though at one time he might have been we'll acquainted | with them.
 He answers the description of Mil ton Bowers, a deiaulting treasurer of Arkansas and telegrams were sent there today.

twenty literS of cider and four liters of

such spirits! France brews every year
more than 5000, 200 hectoliters of beer,

the People of America.

senator PETER and Ralph Beaumont to
the People Of America.
E. J. Wheeler, the editor of The
Voice and John Lloyd Thomas were
recently travelling in company with
Senator PETER of Kansas and another
gentleman prominent In financial re-
form work. During the conversation
Mr.. Wheeler remarked to the last
named, The Voice recently asked one
of the gentlemen who was elected to
Congress by the reformers Of Kansas
the following question: What chance
would there have been Of electing five
congressman, a senator and a major.
ity Of the legislature if Kansas had
contained 5000 legalized saloons, they
being just such political club houses
as the saloons are In other states9" The
answer received was, Not ghost of
chance Do you endorse that?" The
gentleman assented from the state
ment. Mr.. Wheeler then turned to
Senator PETER and asked "Do you
endorse that statement?" and the
Senator Immediately replied: Il was
the man that made the statement
which you quoted and unhesitatingly
reiterate the statement. Reform would
not have had a ghost Of a show il
Kansas had contained 5000 saloons to
debauch the public mind and hamper
the efforts Of reformers.
Soon afterwards Messrs. Wheeler
and Thomas were in the company of
Mr.. Ralph Beaumont, perhaps the
ablest Of the reform leaders Of Amer
lea. During a lengthy and interest
ing conversation, Mr.. Beaumont made
the following statement: During the
late reform campaign in Kansas, 1
spent about six weeks in the State,
travelling hundreds OF miles, and
speaking every day to thousands Of
people in the towns and cities. Dur
ing the entire trip, nerer sd,C a
drunken man, and my audiences were
the most intelligent and receptive 1
ever had. The man who tells me Pro-
hibition is not a success finds me an
unbeliever. / went from Kansas to
Wisconsin to speak at a picnic. Be-
fore had spoken ten minutes there
were seventeen drunken men all about
me, and not only were they unable to
understand me, but the attention of
hundreds OF others was distracted and

In Nebraska spoke one day to about
10000 people out in the free country.
and the next night in whisky cursed

The statement of Senator PETER was
quoted to Mr.. Beaumont, and he was
asked as to his views. Said he, 81
endorse the statement unhesitatingly,
the man who would deny it is incapa-
BILE of unprejudiced judgment" Sena-
tor PETER and Mr.. Beaumont are
leaders in the Reform work. They
will not be accused Of Prohibition
fanaticism. Does not their testimony
emphasize the platform Of Prohibi-
tionists? Prohibition first; not as a
cure-all, but as pre-essential to fur

There is grim horror about the st.

for the prize Of an European tour,
which the Liquor Dealers Association
propose to give to the most popular
bartender, such popularity to be de-
termined by the greatest number Of

How those bartenders will work
for custom! How they will entice into
the cursed saloons the boys on the
streets, eeaxing out OF their rockets
every possible fifteen cents. How tho
money of the laboring man will pile
up in the saloon tills while his homo

as well as in the humble ones will
ache.
How the tears Of wives and mothers
will flow. Rivers Of beer and rivers of
tears, will deluge st. Louis while the
contest goes on.
