Prince Russell is COldly Received

He Has Been Talking too Much-He Says He

reading the young mans interview on the

son has an idea that when he has made up
his mind that he does not care to try for a
second term he will find some means for
communicating with the public. and he will
not be compelled to call Prince RUSSELL
to his assistance. The President is also of
the opinion that Mr.. Arkeil is altogether
too original and enterprising in his adver-
Using schemes, and that he is using Prince
Russell as a mere sleeping partner in order
that he may create sensations and a de-

Escape of a sing Sing Convict.

NEW York, May 6.-Shannohan, convict
on his way to Sing Sing to serve a sixteen
year sentence, escaped from the deputy
sheriff at the Grand Central depot this
morning. Shannohan was one Of batch
of eleven prisoners to be taken to Sing
Sing. They were divided into three groups.
The second group, in which was Shanno-
han, in charge of Deputy Sheriff Burke,
had just stepped on the platform of the car
when Shannohan's hand shot up and his
handouts fell of. Shannohan jumped
across the platform and made for the en-
trance to the rail yards. AS soon as he
jumped, Deputy Sheriff Burke fired shot
after him and started In pursuit. He fired
three shots more. and was gaining on Shan
NOLAN when he tripped on the track and
came down, dislocating his shoulder and
receiving other injuries. Shannohan
dashed on to FOrty-tifth street where a
cab was waiting for him, and he jumped In
and drove off. The theory of his escape is
that Shannohan had handcuff key fur
nished him by confederstes.

A Syndicate Purchasing Silver.

New YORK, June 6.-The Erening Sun
says: For several days past there has
been animated trading in silver bullion GER
tificates upon the stock exchange. The
price, however, has ruled steady around IS
cents per ounce and has seemed, in Wall
street parlance, to have been pegged at
that figure. 1t was rumored in Wall street
this morning that large Wall street syn
dictate had been formed TO purchase the en-
tire stock of silver. The syndicate. it was
said. was represented in this country by
the banking house of Heidelbacn, Ickel-
heimer & Co. The head of the syndicate in
Europe is thought to be the house of
Thorsch & Co., OF Vienna. Ii is said Held
elbach, Ickelheimer & Co. hold about three
million ounces of the stock represented by
the receipts Of the Mercantile Trust com
pauy, which last night were 5,43j, 553
ounces. AS the needs of the syndicate,
which proposes to purchase about five
million ounces, are not filled, the silver will
not yet be withdrawn from the Mercantile
Trust company. If this were done the
shortness in the supply would become at
advance. The plan of the syndicate
seems to be about as follows:
IL is thought the stock of silver held in
New York represents large part of the
whole floating supply. Last year England
held large stock OF silver. but e has since
been sent to Japan, India and China The
whole production of this country is used
up by the government in meeting its legal
requirements for coinage and by the arts.
and sciences. If Europe needs any more
silver the syndicate controls practically
the larger part Of the supply, and is in a
position TO dictate the price at which it will
part with it. Moreover. as election time
approaches, it is thought the west will
renew the silver agitation, and another eff
fort will be made in the next Congress to
put through free coinage bill. Silver
went up to 100 last year on the expectation
of free coinage, and if the bill should be-
come law this year, it will undoubtedly 60
to that figure again. A third point that the
syndicate is said to be calculating upon is
that the recent and presest trouble in
Europe will force the gold standard coun-
tries to adopt a bi metallic standard.
During the Barring panic in November last,
the Bank of England was forced to become
borrower from the Bank of France, of
GO, OOO, 900. The Bank of Frasce was able
to advance this sum only on account of its
ability through its charter, to pay out sill
yer as well as gold, when its notes were
presented for payment.

Reformed Presbyterian Synod.

PITrsBuRG, June 6.-At to-day's session
Of the Reformed Presbyterian synod, DR..
McAllister closed his argument in defense
of the act Of the Pittsburg Presbytery.
During the latter part of his speech he
paid his respects to various societies and
corporations who, DIV work, desecra3e the
SABBATH. He referred TO the government
permitting the transmission of mails on
Sunday and touched up Postmaster-Ge
Wanamaker and the heads of other govern
ment departments in a lively manner.
Referring 10 the coming Worlds fair, he
made strong argument for closing it on
Sundays.
The general belief now is there will be
no compromise and that the action of the
Pittsburg Presoytery will be sustained
and number OF bright, liberal minded
young ministers be expelled There seems
DO doubt either that their expulsion will
be followed by split in the church.

Rocky Mountain Weather Predictions.

DENVER, June Especial telegram to
TIE HERALD. Fosters weather predic-
tions to the Ncics say: The heavy storms
of summer will occur between the Sth and
23rd of June. The heaviest will be either
about June Sth or June 18th, and cannot yet
say which. Away from the Rocky noun
tains, especially east, great disturbances
will be noticed, cyclones, hurricanes and
heavy rains, and their force will likely be
felt in limited extent near the mountains
A popularity of the storms will be that in
places the rains viii be very heavy and in
others light, and perhaps wanting. In
the middle of June few warm days may
be expected, but the weather will be gen.
orally cool with frosts in northern lati-
tudes.

Tramps Horribly Outraged a Lad

WATERLOO, Ia, June 6. - Yesterday
afternoon Joseph Brannon, aged ten, was
at work for farmer living near Wash
burn, nine miles south of this city. Three
tramps called at the house in the absence
of the family and demanded something to
eat. Brannon refused their request, tell
ing of the absence of the family. The re-
fusal enraged the tramps and they assaulted
the lad, throwing him to the ground and
castrating him. Brannou's cries fright
ened the scoundrels away before they
could complete their work, and they es-
capped, leaving their victim in an uncon-
scious condition. When Brannon re-
gained consciousness two hours later, he
harnessed horse and drove to Gilbert
vile, where he gave the alarm. An accu-
rate description of the men was given and
the sheriff and posse are now in pursuit.
The wretches will undoubtedly be lynchsd
if captured.
