Advices from Fort Wingste say that
another troop Of cavalry has left there
for the Carrizo Mountains, under orders
to arrest Chief Black Horse and bring
him to the agency at Fort Defiance.
This will be done. of course, but there
may DO ruc.ion before it 10 accom-
plished, as it is said tho big chief declares
he will not be taken. II appears that
after Black Horse had refused to give up
the children Of his particular following to
Agent Shipley, the agent and chief had
q personal encounter in which Black
Horse struck Shipley in the face. Upon
his return TO tho agency Agent Shiplsy
ordered Black Horse to come in for q
conference The chief declined to do
this, hence tho troops have been seut
after him.

French standard OF ineness, and are
tender for only small sums The British
silver commission print paper, stated
by the chairman to have been furnished
by "s high authority In France" whose
name, however, Is not given, in which
the amount Of full legal tender silver In
France Is estimated at 2, OO,OOO, 600 francs,
or $413,500,0O0. The bases of this esti-
mate are, that in 1868 the authorities
generally concurred in estimating 1t at
1,500000,000 francs, to which had been
added 5OO,OOO,OOO by subsequent coinage
at the French mint, and 2O0OO0OOO by
the importation of the 5 franc pieces Of
the other states of the Latin Union. Be-
tween 1857 and 1868 there was no silver
coined at the French mints, except de-
based pieces for subsidiary purposes.
M. Cernuschi gives it as the general
judgment of French authorities that the
total metallic money Of France, gold and
silver, is $1,OOO,OOO,OOO. The proportion
of gold to silver in the reserves Of the
bank of France Is as five to two, but
may be less outside Of that institution.
Paul Leroy Beaulleu Journal deS De-
bats, March 3, 1876, estimates the whole
quantity of silver remaining at only
1,900OO0,OOO francs, one-hslf of which is
In the bank of France. Victor Bonnet
makes estimates equally low. Ernest
Seyd combstg these estimates as being
too low, and as being made by advocates
of the gold standard for the purpose of
undertaking the difficulties Of demon
etizipg silver, but he does not himself
reckon the quantity at above 9700O000O
sterling, or $35O,OOOOO0.
The proportion Of silver in the total
amount Of specie paid to and deposited
In the bank Of France is diminishing.
This fact is considered by French author
tiles as Indicating that there Is no ple-
thoFs or excess of silver In the clrcul&-
tion.
Upon the whole, we may take $413,-
100000 as a maximum estimate of the
full tender silver in France. II is prob
ably less. Whatever the amount may be-,
40O,OO0,0OO francs, or $75,OO0,OOO would
be absorbed in the event of the demon
etlzatlon of silver In such an addition to
the subsidiary coinage as would carry it
up to 20 francs per capita, or about the
equivalent Of 15 marks per capita In Ger
many.
In respect to the Scandinavian states
our minister to Denmark Qetter Of No
vember 8, 1876, to Secretary FlSb) says
the demonetizatlon of silver was COM
pleted October /, 1876, and that the old
silver coins had then entirely dissp-
peared. The same thing is doubtless
true of Norway and Sweden, as those
countries conducted their movement
toward a gold standard In concert with
Denmark, and pursuant to treaty arrange
ments. In respect Of Denmark, full &C
counts have been published of the silver
withdrawn, of the amount sold, and of
the amount reminted in subsidiary coins.

nual treasury deficit has been chronic
since 1889, and the actual needs Of mill
taEy preparation and observation justify
no present hope of an improved condi-
tion.
Great Britain may be left out Of this
account, having demonetlzed silver two
generations ago.
Germany must be included 10 the &C.
count, as the demonetization Of silver
there Is not yet an accomplished fact.
The estimates of the silver still 10 be
called In and sold by that country are
widely variant.
The known facts In the case are: the
total amount Of silver coins which had
been struck down to the date when de-
monetizstion was determined upon, the
amount taken In by the government to
February 28, 1877, the amount sold by
the government to September 80, 1876,
and the amount used to February %,
1877, In the manufacture of the new sub
sidlary coinage. What Is unknown, and
In respect to which there is an extreme
variance Of opinion, Is the proportion Of
the coins heretofore struck which has
been lost, melted, or exported. The
figures are:

be needed to carry the coinage up to that
limit, about $S,OOOOOO. II the limit be
increased to Is marks, about S60,00O,0OO
instead Of $S,O00OOO will be required.
The exports Of silver from Germany TO
England were much greater In the latter
than in the earlier part of 1876. During
January and February Of this year they
were 91,817,sSO or $6391,718. During
the same months Of last year they were
only G106,78S or $954,19O. Upon the
whole, It may be concluded that nearly
the entire difference, which is $95, ,410,-
582, between the amount Withdrawn and
the amount used in subsidiary coinage
to the end of February, 1877, has been
sold.
OF the old silver coinage, $50,OOO,OOO
were In flOrins Of gulden currency, all
Issued since 1887. The remainder con-
sisted Of the thaler coinages, some Of
them dating back to 1850. The gulden
currency has been demonetized, and only
GS per cent. Of 1t was presented within
the time limited for redemption. 1t Is
argued that the proportion Of loss must
be much greater In the thaler oolnages
which have been subjected so much
longer to the various causes Of loss. The
probable proportion of the loss Of those
colnages is fixed by some authorities as
high as three-fifthS, but against this view
1t ls urged that the gulden currency was
better adapted to export and better
adapted to melting down, because con-
tanning more gold. The controversy will
be settled when the coinage Is all called
in, and not before. The British silver
