THE SILVER QUESTION.
lieWS Of Leading German Financiers
Against Free Silver.

BERLIN, March 25.-The discussion in tha
American Congress CT the silver question
has attracted much attention In Germany,
1he newspapers nearly all agree in the
belief that free silver will be bad thing
for the United States. The Associated
Press correspondent interviewed Dr. Koch.
president OF the Imperial Bank, the great
est financial institution of Germany: DIR.
Siemens, director of the Deutsche Bank,
the largest private banking corporation in
Berlin, having relations with America, and
other prominent bankers, with reference to
the effect of the proposed silver legislation
In America. Dr. Koch said both Germany
and England would undoubtedly be willing
TO take part in the international monetary
conference, but felt positive that neither
country would consent to bimetallc basis,
although Germany would doubtless agree to
some increase IN the amount of silver used.
Except few agrarans, nobody in Germany
dreamed OF the demoBetiZatiOn of silver
Austria. which was changing from paper to
gold, would not take up silver, and England
also knew when she was well off If
America adopted free silver, nobody there
would be benefited. The farmers would
receive more for their crops but silver dol
lars would have less purchasing value, and
in the end they would be worse eff. A
change of currency is always bad, but a
change to an inferior currency would infict
especially heavy losses on the country max
ing it. The continuous export of gold from
America was surprise to DIR. Koch. He
said it was probably due 10 desire on the
part OF foreign holders tc realize on the
present high prices for American securities.
DR.. Siemens and other bankers hold similar
views with DR.. Koch.
New YORK. March 25-Some of the local
builiou-dealers do not anticipate that the
action of Congress will have any material
effect on the price of silver, as the Govern
ment continues its monthly purchases, and
the stock on hand is comparatively small
and not likely to be thrown upon the
market Others claim the production is
much greater than the consumption. and
as the exports have diminished because of
receipts in London from Australia and
Mexico, that falling off of cents per
ounce or so is not improbable
WASHINGTON. March 25.-The offers of
silver to the Treasury Department to-day
aggregated $4,000 ounces. The amount
purchased was 10000 ounces at prices
ranging from 1880 to 1884.
The director of the mint has announced
that the Government, having purchased its
quota of silver required by law for the pres
ent month, no further offer will be con-
sidered until April /.

MONEY ON THE GOODS.
An Attempt to Borrow $500 on Worth
less Machines.


less Machines.
Yesterday morning j. f. Cooper and C,
L. Wood entered the furniture and carpet
store of Charles L. Taylor, at 642 Mission
street. and stated that they h ad just arrived
from Boston. Cooper, who did most of the
talking, said that he and Wood were half
brothers. and for number of years had run
a shirt factory in the city from which they
came. He said that short time ago they
met wit reverses in business, and decided
to ship their fifty sewing machines to this
city with view to start in business here
Cooper said the machines arrived few days
ago on sailing vessel. via Cape Horn. and
that at the time they were stored in the
Pacific Warehouse Both represented the
machines worth $1,000, and then asked Tay-
lor TO advance them $500 on the machines,
adding that they wished to open a shirt
factory with the money.
Taylor thought over the proposition, aud
favored lending the money as he was
promised good interest. A second thought
made him a bic suspicious, and, telling the
men he would see a friend and ask him
whether be would advance a portion of the
money, made an appointment with the men
for 2 o'clock.
Taylor then visited the Chief of Police
and informed him of the facts. Detective
Rogers was detailed on the case. He went

Wood and Cooper, was introduced as lay
lor's friend. Being not particularly taken
with their looks. after talking a while, he
made an appointment for the evening. Rogers
then left the men aud started to inyesti-
gate the matter.
He soon found that the machines which
We're In the warehouse were all of the cast
OFF secondhand variety. He also found
that twenty-five OF them had been purchased
for 81 apiece. and the rest from various
juDkshops around town from prices ranging
from 81 to 81 so.
Rogers also ascertained that similar
scheme bad been worked in Sacramento
about four years ago, and that Cooper and
Wood tailed with the descriptions of the
men who operated in that city.
When he met Cooper and Wood last even
ing at the International Hotel, he informed
them that he was a detective. He accused
them OF trying to deceive Taylor and him.
self, and confronted them with the facts
which he had learned. They admitted thar
they had told an untruth, but denied having
worked the scheme in Sacramento.
Rogers could not arrest tine men without
warrant, but the pair asked him to keep the
matter from the newspapers.
Taylor at Rogers request went before the
complaint charging the men with an attempt
10 obtain money by false pretenses, but he
was refused permission.
The warrant clerk being urged consulted

CANNoNs AGAINST RIFLES.
Furious War Among 0ystermen on Chesapeake
Rav

TAsLEY, Va. March pa furious battle
occurred here Tuesday between the OYSTER
men on Chesapeake Bay. Several years
ago some Of the residents of Accomack
County took up large tract of yster
ground in Pokomoke Sound, and the oyster
men ON the neighboring island of Fanguo
claimed that they had violated the law by
taking I'D national oyster lock. The case
was decided against the planters in the
courts, but, under an act passed by the
Virginia Legislature last winter, they pro-
ceeded TO take the oysters from the reserva-
ton. This greatly enraged the islanders,
and they manned two sioops with force
numbering about IS men. and proceeded to
where II schooDers were at work, guarded
by one Of the Virginia polce-boais The
islanders advancing, the commander OF the
latter opened fire on them with his cannons,

HE TREATY.
4 Long Discussion on the Subject in the
Senate.

4 Long Discussion on the Subject in the
Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The Senate to-
day spent two and a half hours Ia the fur
ther consideration of the Bering Sea arbi-
tration treaty. A vote is expected on the
motion to ratify the treaty some time next
week. The discussion has esta bished the
strong probability that the treaty will be
ratified. The Senators who oppose it as
whole are few In number, and find their
principal representative In FELTON, of Cali
fornia. His opposition is based upon the
idea that 1t contemplateS the possible sur
render Of absolute rights acquired by the
United States from Russia. But the most
formidable OPPOSITION is made up Of men,
bers who believe the treaty should be ac-
companied by resolution directing the
President TO withhold the exchange OF the
final ratification until Great Britain con-
sents TO renew the modus vivendi.
1t has been represented by members of
the Foreign Relations Committee that the
adoption OF such resolution would defeat
the treaty. for Great Britain would never
consent to be placed In the attitude of re-
newiBg the modus yiyendi through fear of
the results. There is another element in
the Senate that seeks to follow the ratifca-
ton up with resolution indorsing the
Presidents action UP to this point, and
eminent to protect its property in the seal
Islands at all hazards pending the arbitra-
tion. This element appeared to-day to have
gathered strength.
The Cabinet Meeting.
The seriousness of the Bering Sea situa-
tion Is shown by the attendance of Secre-
tary Blaine at the Cabinet meeting TO-DAY.
notwithstanding his recent illness. Secre.
taries Foster and Tracy held a conference
prior TO the meeting. presumably in regard
to orders to the naval and revenue vessels
being assigned to the duty of parrolllng the
sealing grounds. 1t Is practically settled
the warships Charleston, Baltimore, B0s-
ton. Yorktown, Adams, Ranger and Mohi-
can and the revenue vessels CorwiD, Bear,
Rush and Albatross will be assigned this
dEty.
1t is understood decision was reached In
reply of Lord Salisbury to the Presidents
last note before proceeding on the assump-
tion that the English Government will not
cooperate In measures Of protection to the
sealing industry.
1t is rumored that the President has been
given by the Russian Minister assurances
that the Russian Government will cooper
ate with this Government in the matter OF
protecting the seals in BerIDg Sea, and that
four men-of-war would be added to the
feet Of six Russian ironclads now at Vladi-
vostock.

there is no truth in the report that Russia
bas agreed to cooperate with the United
States in protecting The seal herds in Bering

Meanwhile, althoug navy officials concede
