marked down to correspond. There
is an impression to the contrary in
London, but it is undoubtedly mis-
taken. London transactions have, in
fact, controlled the movement of sill
yer absolutely for a month past,
and have been prepondcrating for
very much longer. Here in New
York, trading in silver has virtually
become limited to the sales Of pro
ducers to exporters usually conducted
for the storage facilities through
stock exchange certificates. In the
past month sales of silver on the ax.
change have aggregated less than
5000 ounces, whereas year ago the
transactions Of the same period were
eight times as large. 1t is not prob
able that stock exchange operators
in general have dabbled lately to any
serious extent in the certificates. A
month or more ago when the shrewd
producers forced their entire surplus
upon the market and demoralized
prices, the spectators did much of
the buying. Since then they have
been taught more than one useful
lesson. But the really ominous ele-
ment in the recent violent break is
its arrangement of the exchanges
and commerce of India.

FALSE RAILROAD RuxuaS.


Hon. Jefferson Rayaolds returned
from El Paso yesterday morning and
last evening was seen by repre-
sentative ol the FREE Press in rela-
ton to the dispatches sent out from
El Paso that he had been telegraph
cd for by Jay Gould to come there to
meet him. Almost the first words
Mr. Reynolds spoke was a request to
deny the truth Of the telegram en-
tirely, as he said it was sent out with
out his knowledge and consent and
vas entirely false all the way
through. As every one hero knows,
MIR. Reynolds has heavy business in
tcrests at FL Paso aud these take him
there every little while, and because
his business happened to take him
there while Mr.. Gould was there,
and his well-known connection with
the Denver & FL Paso road, lead
some one to at once suppose that he
was there to talk matters over with
Gould.
On being asked about the dispatch
sent from FL Paso that the citizen,
were anxious to take up the alleged
proposition of Mr.. Gould to build n
road from FL Paso to White Oaks if
the city of III Paso would donate the
ten miles already graded and ironed,
he said that the people of lei Paso
were too smart to be taken in by
such Il proposition and were to well
satisfied with the Denver & FL Paso
project to give it up for something
that would do them no good. If Mr.
Gould built to White Oaks for them
or even TO Trinidad, they would be
10 better off than now, while with
the Denver g. FL Paso road an en-
tircly independent line they virtually
have the benefit of six new roads,
VIZ: eli he railroads that run into
Denver ard Trinidad, the Union Pa
cifc, Burlington, Rio Grande, MIS-
sour Pacific, Rock Island and Kan.
s,s Pacific. There is no need of the
people Of Las Vegas feeling uneasy
about The success of the road as the
men now backing the project are
thoroughly in earnest and will not be
deferred by anything that may be at
temped TO hinder them.

The DEM:RzsT CONTEST.

Through failure of the janitor to
warm up the church and the lateness
of the audience IN coming, it looked
at first as though the Demorest med
al contest at the Presbyterian church
last night would be very slimly at
tended, but there was after all a very
fair attendance and the audience
was very we'll pleased with the per-
formance. The speaking was all
very we'll done, in fact so well that
the judges had hard work to decide
the contest.
There were to have been eight
contestants from the three schools,
academy, seminary and public school,
but one of them was sick, leaving
only seven. These were called up by
number, so that few knew to which
school they belonged. The follow
ing were the speakers in their order:
1, Johnny Critics; Q, Florence York;
8, absent; 4, Elsie M. Carruth; 8, Gen
evieve Met Court; 6, ,Chas A.Thayer, jr.;
I, John Hollenwager; 8, Mary Long.
Nos. l and 4 from the academy, 2, 5
and 8 from the seminary, and 6 and7
from the public school.
The judges were Edward Henry,
Mrs. DR.. Olney and Mrs j. IL.
Stearns. After the speaking the
judges consulted quite a while, and
finally decided that Chas. Il Thaye er
was entitled to the medal, which VAS
presented to him in a short speech by
Mr.. Henry, who congratulated him
upon his success, which was well de-
served and, considering the fact
that there were several older speak
ers, it is something he may be very
proud of.
1t was universally remarked that
the speaking was far above the aver
age of schools usually, and those who
were disappointed lad no reason To
feel bad where there was such com
petition.
Prof. Miller's young orchestra fur
nished the music except song by
Miss Hern and duet by Miss Herzog
and Mr.. Dick.
In making the address Mr., Henry
supposed the winner to attend the
aca DENY and started to apologize for
the public school getting left as it
was a new school and could hardly
be expected TO compete with the
academy and seminary and was quite
surprised when informed that it was
a public school pupil who had won.

ISSUED AN ADDRESS.

DENVER, March 29.-The state ex-
ecutive committee of the Colorado
State Silver league today issued an
address to the voters of Colorado and
the United States. The address sets
forth that the organization is purely
n-partisan one, and that its object
is to unite voters of all parties
throughout the west and south to Sc
cure if possible the nomination of a
free coinage candidate on a free coin
age platform at both Minneapolis
and Chicago. This work; they urge,
should be begun at the primaries,
and with this end in view they ask
the most thorough organization
throughout the country, while recon-
mending that every state and terri
tory should send delegates to those
conventions composed of the best
men the parties can afford, still they
give notice that unless their requests
are complied with they will not sup
port the candidates of either con.
vention The address recites the or
ganization already completed in this
state, and urges the cooperation of
both the west and south.

TIE FIGHT OVER FRANKLIN's ESTATE.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 30.-
Had the ghost of Benjamin Franklin
walked into the supreme court yes
terday he would have been treated
to the sight of passage at arms over
his estate. 1t was in the case of the
appeal of Elizabeth B. Gillespie and
Albert d. Bache from the decree of
the orphans court, claiming a fund
held by the city amounting to $780,
600, the accumulation of a bequest
by Benjamin Franklin TO the city
over 100 years ago. The fund was
to be loaned out for the benefit of ar
tisans, at interest; then, after 100
years, to revert to the city for water
improvements. The appellants con-
tend that this bequest is void, be-
cause it offends against perpetuties,
and that they, as descendants, are
entitled to the fund. The court re-
served its decision.
