mIb. IedTys VINO was somewhat OF q belle In
Washington, where she was brought up, is
accounted q very plucky young woman A
fearless rider, q good shot with both pistol
and rifle, and q crack tennis player, gosslps
say she is not unacquainted with cricket
and the new bicycles which have found SO
much favor with her sex. Mrs. Peary was
averse to letting people know that she was 60
ing on the exhibition, partly through dread of
being too much talked about.
OF course Mrs. Peary will not accompany
her explorer husband on his journeys in the
difficult interior of Greenland. Upon the
Kites arrival at Whale sound q suitable
habitation will be provided for Lieutenant
and Mrs. Peary, who win pass the SINNER
there, while the lieutenant arranges his
own expedition. Meanwhile the academy's
scientists will study the birds, the animals, the
fora, the shell fish, and the geological and
meteorological forms Of the coast Of Greenland,
and when they rendezvous at Whale Sound for
their return to this city Mrs. Peary will come
back with them.

TO CORNER THE SILVER.
Alleged Plan of a Syndicate to squeeze"
England When 1t Wants the Metal.

Alleged Plan of Syndicate to "Squeeze''
England When 1t Wants the Metal.
New YORK. June 6.-The Erening San says
For several days past there has been an ami.
mated trading in silver bullion certificates on
the stock exchange The price. however, has
ruled steadily around 90 cents per ounce and
has seemed in, Wall street parlance, to have
been ''pegged' at that figure.
II was rumorcd on Wall street this smorning
that large French syndicate had been formed
to purchase this entire stock of silver. The
syndicate, it was said, was represented in this
country by the banking house of Heidelbach,
Ickelheimer d Co. of 90 William street.
The head of the syndicate in Europe il
thought to be the house of Thorsch Il Co of
Vienna. 1t is said that Messrs. Heidelbach,
1ckelheimer Il Co. hold about 5000 900 ounces
of the stock represented by the receipts of the
Mercantile Trust Company. which last night
were 5.436. $50 ounces.
As the needs OF the syndicate, which proposes
to purchase about 5000. 900 ounces. are not yet
filled the silver will not yet be drawn from
the Mercantile Trust Company. If this were
done the shortness in the supply would be-
come at once apparent and the price would adj
vance rapidly.
The plan of the syndicate seems to be about
as follows:
1t is thought that the stock of silver held in
New York represents large part of the whole
noatlnS supply. Last year England held a
large stock of silver. but it has since been sent
to Japan, India and China.
The whole production of this country il use d
up by the government in meeting its legal re-
quirements for coinage and by the arts Hence,
if Europe needs any more silver, the syndicate.
controlling practically the larger part
of the floating supply, will be in a
position to dictate the price at which it
will part with it. Moreover, as election time
approaches. it is thought that the west will
renew the silver agitation and that another
effort will be made in the next Congress
to put through a free coinage bill. Silver
went up to 120 last yea on the expecta-
ton of free coinage. and if the bill should be-
come law this year it will undoubtedly go to
that figure again.
A third point tina. the syndicate is said
to be calculating upon is tina: the re-
cent and present troubles in Europe
will force the gold standard countries
to adopt bi-metallic standard. During the
Barring panic in November las. the Bank of
England, the greatest financial institution in
the world. was forced to become borrower
from the Bank of France of f3, 000. 900.
The Bank OF France was able to advance this
sum only on account Of its ability, through its
charter, to pay out silver as well as gold when
its notes are presented for payment.
