English Papers Don't Like Any Talk
About "Enlarged'' silver.
LONDON, April 23.-Business circles
are surprised by a dispatch received
from the United States saying that
England has intimated her readiness
TO join conference to bring about m
enlarged use of silver. That part of
the report which states that the basis
of conference was formulated here is
regarded as unworthy of belief.
The Times today says it Is not
easy to see what 'enlarged"
can mean, and remarks: IA decided
majority of those competent to Judge
regard the issue of notes based on sill
yer with great disfavor. A certain
amount Of silver could be employed to
increase the intrinsic value Of our cur
rency, which at the present price of
the metal is overvalued to an
extent considerably greater than
necessary or desirable, but the general
sense of the community is stendfastly
opposed to anything like an attempt
to rehabilitate silver"
Tic Daily News says that such a
conference would not be likely
to attain practical results The Eng
lish delegates, it declares, would have
to go into it with their hands tied It
further says thnt Mr.. Goschen, the
chancellor of the exchequer, cannot
we'll go beyond the plan already pro-
posed to increase the proportion Of
silver held by the Bank of England

EIGHT THOUSAND BODIES.

Removing the Dead From Union Ceme-

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-By sun
iown tonight it is expected that the
rang OF men that for two months has
been engaged in removing the bodies
rom the old Union cemetery ut Belle
grade and Vienna streets so as to make
'oom for forty-two residence buildings,
will have completed their labors. Al
together nearly 5000 bodies have been
.SmOycd from the cemetery. although
does not cover a very large area.
Evidently the employees of the corpora
lion that formerly owned the cemetery
believed in turning an honest penny,
and as mary of them rs possible, for
in several cases as many as fifteen
bodies have been cxhumed from n
single grave. 1t has been gruesome
task. but the men did not
nind it SO long as they got
their SIS day, which was tho least sum
What would tempt them to delve down
among the coffins and skulls and bones,
Not man of them, however. could be
induced to work after the shades OF
night had fallen, and the residents of
the neighborhood, although they con-
gregated daily by thousands and
Watched the diggers with morbidly
curious air, were careful to give the
enclosure wide berth after sundown.
Some curious discoveries have
tended from time time to enliven the
operations, If they were capable of
being enlivened. One of the coffins
brought to the surface was corr
structed of solid iron, and of the
shape of torpedo boat, long and
pointed Mt the ends. Upon up.
screwing the lid there was found
the body Of man in perfect state of
preservation, not the slightest trace of
discoloration being apparent, although,
according to the recordS. the inter-
inent must have taken place fully
half century ago. The body rested in
drapings of the most costly satin, col
ored and white, and the red hair upon
the head, as we'll as the moustache Of
the same color, were ns intact as
though the burial had taken place but
a couple OF days before. This is at
tributed to the fact that the covering
of heavy plate glass beneath the lid
rendered the iron casket absolutely
air-tight. In another coffin,
containing the body of q

discovery which caused considerabl
speculation until an undertaken ex-
planned that it was customary in the
profession to place irons on the knees
of people who had been bow-1egged in
their life time in order to keep them in
place. Several hundred of the bodies
were found to be completely petriied,
resembling flint, condition due to
the damp and marshy ground. Three
coffins entirely empty have been
brought to the surface, while in
another casket was the body OF man
whose hair and beard had grown so
long ms to fill the remaining space. IN
another case the diggers found the
skeleton Of woman with luxurious
growth of hair six feet long on her
skull The coffin had crumbled into
dust. The remains are being reinte rred
in Northwood cemetery.

The Ex-King of Servia Caught by Coy
Widow.
LONDON, April 25.-Ex-King Milan,
Of Servis, is again in a scandal. His
relations to shopkeepers widow in
Paris involved him in numerous EN-.
barrassments when he had been in
that city but short time after his
.abdication, and TO make himself free
for q fresh intrigue with sn actress he
agreed to pay his discarded love "a, 900
Francs annually. In case he failed to
pay promptly the contract stipulated,
or ceased payment altogether, ha
swould, upon application. give her q
lump sum of 100000 francs Milan
made two quarterly payments of 600
francs each, and that was all. The
shopkeeper's widow did nothing until
the king realized on his abdication. She
made several scenes at his place Of
residence, but Milan refused to pay.
She resorted to the courts, but through
powerful influence, Milan succeeded in
suppressing the scandal Of suit and
in quieting her temporarily with prom.
ises to pay. He has not paid, however,
and this week was again served with
papers at the widows instance. II
his friend, the czar, does not como to
his aid the ex-king will probably com
promise the matter at his own ex.

Threats are freely uttered against the
Austrians and there is reason to fear
that in the event OF riot the Austrian
embassy would be assaulted. For
shis reason the lower windows Of the
Austrian embassy are being walled up.
The members and servants OF the en-
bass.v are armed and every preparation
has been made to give deadly recep-

The feeling against the Austrians is
cunning very high partly because Of
the close friendship shown between
the vatican and the Austrian court
King Humhert has given particular in

similar to that which shook Rome

It is known that the officials have
been extremely reticent for some time
past, while at the same time quietly
making preparations of which today's
work is the open continuation. This
reticence, it is reported, has been in.
spired by desire not to deter visitors
from coming to Rome. The situation

Danger of an outbreak SO pressing that
