Senator Carlisle on Silver.

John A. Lyme Of Henderson. KY, wanted to
know where Senator Carlisle stood on the silver
question, so he wrote him letter Of inquiry
and to this the Senator has responded at con-
siderable length
The answer to your question:" writes the
Senator, depends largely upon what you mean
by the free coinage Of silver II you mean
the policy urged by many under which the
government of the United States would be
compelled by law to receive So cents worth of
silver bullion, when presented by the owner, and
coin it at the expense of all the people Of the
try, and compel the people by law to receive the
coin as the equivalent Of 100 cents. my answer
Is that am not now and never have been in
favor of it. stand now where my lamented
predecessor. Mr.. Beck, and stood together in
1878, when the so-called 'Bland,Allison bill was
passed. by Congress, under which the Secretary of
the Treasury was required to purchase and coin
monthly not less than 81, 000, 900 nor more than
-. 00o, 000>worth of silver bullion.
"When that bill passed the House Of Repre-
sentatives it provided for the free and uniim-
tied coinage of the silver dollar, but after it
went to the Senate Mr.. Beck offered an amend
ment which provided that the Secretary of the
Treasury should purchase at the market price
each month not less than s., 900 900 worth of
silver bullion, or as much more as could be
coined at the mint, the seniorage to be paid in
the treasury, and whenever the bullion could
not be purchased at less than par with legal
tender notes any owner Of silver bullion might
deposit it for coinage on the same terms as gold
was deposited"

From the Philadelphia Record.
trial of speed between English and Ameri-
can locomotives, which will set at rest the con-
ficting claims Of superiority made by both
countries, will be an interesting and novel
feature Of the worlds fair The scheme has
been preached to both the Pennsylvania and
New York Central companies, but no definite
action has yet been taken by either. 1t is not
known which Of the two great roads will under
take the contest.
The plan is to bring over an English locomo-
tive OF the latest pattern, which will burn Eng
lish coal, with q crew who will speak with an
English accent. The run will be made from
New York to Chicago and return. either with q
heavy or light train, or possibly both. The run
west may be made with heavy train and the
return with a light one. The American en-
CINE will carry the same weight and 20 by the
same route, and the palm will be awarded to
the one making the run in the shortest time
In view Of the claim made by England that
she turns out the best. fastest and the most
economical locomotives in the world. no con-
test could take place that would arouse more
interest Uncle Sam knows little something
about building locomotives himself. and it is
safe to say that John Bull will have no easy time
Of it.

THE NEW BATTLE SHIP.
1t 10 Now Being Planned at the Navy De-
partment.

Thc battle ship provided by the Inst naval
appropriation bill is now being planned at the
Navy Department. This ship will resemble the
New York, but will POSSESS points Of improve
ment over that vessel, being about 1000 tons
larger, in the first place.
Her increased size. will reduce her speed as
compared with the New York, although her en-
gines wiz possess 16. 900 horse power. She will
havea greater steaming radius, however, as much
Of her extra size will be devoted to carrying
additional coal, and her boilers will be larger
and more economical in the use Of fuel. She
is to have the largest boilers yet put into ship
in this country-sixteen feet six inches in d.
ameter. Her battery will be somewhat different
from that of the New York. though ii has not vet
been definitely decid ed upon. 1t is probable,
however. that she will carry but four eight-inch
guns instesd Of six and will be given a larger
number of smaller guns, so as to make her more
effective against unarmOred vessels. The bat
tleship will also be larger than those now under
construction. having a displacement of IL 400
tons. 1t is the desire Of the department to give
her power to operate at q considerable distance
from her coaiing base, and consequently she
will carry about 400 tons of coal more than the
three vessels now being built. She will have
engines of $1,000 horse power, z, 900 more than
the other battle ships and will be able to steam
seventeen knots per hour against their sixteen.
She will have higher free board, so as to get
the guns higher out of the water, and on &C.
count Of the recent advances made in the man
nfacture Of armor in this country it is probable
she may have the weight Of her srmor reduced
somewhat. The principal change contemplated
her heaviest guns from thirteen inches to twelve
inches in cahber. She will carry eight eight
inch guns and about the same number of
smaller guns as the other battle ships.

From the Chicago News.
There is just now a triumphant little lady on
Dearborn avenue near Chicago avenue, and
only block away is glazier who is suffering
the horrors Of defeat.
In the Dearborn avenue house were two
broken window panes. One of these was en-
tirely destroyed and the other had only a small
corner broken off. The glazier was sent for to
replace them.
Now the lady had two small pictures in need
Of glass. and the big pane was just the thing.
She would have it cut to fit them and would be
SO much ahead. But when she had paid the
workman the big pane of glass was gone.
She sent the domestic over for it. but the
glazier refused to give it up. 1T vhas der rules

man, rushing out on the sidewalk. The hus-

situation was explained and the police told the
husband to take the glass if he was certain of
the property. When he looked around, how
ever, it had disc ppeared.
They were outwitted. Justice Kersten was
appealed to to recover the property under a
criminal warrant. 1t wouldn't stick Then
the little woman decided to bids her time. 1t

Three mornings later the GLACIERS boy rung
the bell. Did the glazier leave a hammer there

"Oh, yes," replied the landlady stoutly.
The glazier needed il very badly.
That's all right. Tell him it's the rules Of

That the affairs Of the Mutual Company are
destined TO play a conspicuous part in the Iron
Hall receivership proceedings is evidenced by
the secret and hurried visit Of Supreme Justice
somerby to Philadelphia last Monday. Mr..
Somerby dropped into the Mutual Bank like a
spirit and as silently departed again for Indiad-
apolis. Hardly any one knew that Justice SOM
erby was in the city until he had gone. Yester-
day ii was learned that the justice came on for
affdayits Of the soivency Of the Mutual Company.
These he procured from the officers and bore
away with him.
They are for use in the supreme sitting OF the
Iron Hall at Indianapolis tomorrow and in Gaze

A. T. Stockwell, counsel for the Mutual Com
pany, returned from Indianapolis Yesterday
afternoon. He went to Indianapolis in the
interest OF the Mutual Company.
Mr.. Stockwell claimed that Bank Superinten-
