EAToNvILIE. N. j.. Feb. ia 7-year-
old boy named Walcott, son OF well.to-
do family living on the outskirts OF town,
was kidnapped yesterday by tranps. He
was skating on pond some distance
from home, accompanied by his sister.
There were half dozen others on the
pond, and ut the time the boy was stolen
he was alone at one end near . piece of
woods. The place is desolate. Only .
few rods away Mingo Jack was lynched q
few years ago, and the underbrusb offers
an excellent opportunity for hiding The
tramps were concealed near the pond,
and evidently watched for some time
until they were able to catch the bow
away from the other skaters. They
rushed upon the ice and were seen to
take the boy into the woods. The little
fellows sister ran after him, but could not
get trace of bis abductors. She gave the
alarm to the other skaters and many OF
them pushed into the woods on the trail
OF the tramps. They returned in short
time and reported that they lost all trace
of the men after going q few hundred
yards into the swamp land surrounding
the lake. When young Walcott's father
heard of the loss Of his boy he seized q
double.barrelled shotgun and went into
the woods ct the point where tho little
fellow was last seen. At dusk he had not
returned. He told his neighbors that he
would not come back until he had re.
covered the stolen child. The news
spread with great fapidity, and the farm.
ers turned out in large numbers and
joined in the search. The sister OF the
lost boy went to Hull's hotel before going
home and told the men in the Office that
her brother had been kidnapped. She
said SAID she was va: =. o., iar away from him that

EFFECT OF SILVER COINAGE.
The Views OF . Prominent Minnespous
Miller ON the Subject.

Tho Views Of . Prominent Minneapolis
Miller ON the subject.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-Ths silver
question was preached again this morn
ing, and this time it was in hearing be-
fore the house committee on agriculture
on the anti.option bill, which has been
under discussion by the committee for
the past two weeks. Charles A. Pills.
bury, q Minneapolis miller, was on the
stand. He stated in the course Of his re-
marks the worlds surplus supply OF
wheat was steadily dwindling. and is be-
ing steadily drawn ON each year to meet
the increasing consumption Of wheat. He
said if one man owned the wheat crop
raised in the United States this year it
would have been possible to get 81 so per
bushel for it from Europe just "a easy as
80 cents, because Europe had to have it.
Russia had none to export and India had
shipped its surplus the previous year.
Lewis-Then the statistical position Of
wheat has been growing better for five
years past, and the price, except for the
spurt OF this year, has been growing
weaker?
Pillsbury-That's SO.
Lewis-Does not the value OF money
have great deal to do with it? Isn't
money worth more than ever?
Pillsbury-1 think, as whole, dollar
will buy more goods nov than ever.
Lewis-If we had 81 500 ,000, 900 instead
of $3.50, 0OO, 900 in circulation, would not
the farmers &c: more for their wheat?
Pillsbury-More nominal dollars, but
perhaps they could not buy 20 much.
In reply to a further question from Lewis,
Pillsbdry admitted that short selling
alone would not account for the decline
in wheat, which was too great to be
chcYgeable to one cause alone.
In his address to the committee Pills
bury advocated the passage OF an anti
option bill. Pillsbury said there should
have been high prices for wheat this
year, but, partly in consequence of short
selling, millers and others are living
from hand to mouth. The world was
drawing on the surplus supply of wheat
eaoh year, for tie consumption was stead.
lily increasing.
FARMERS OPPOSE THE BILL.
ST.. PAUL, Feb. l8.-In answer to tele-
grams sent to farmers all over the coun-
try Of the northwest by the Minneapolis
chamber Of commerce. replies have been
received showing an almost unanimous
sentiment against the anti-option bills
before congress.

CHICAGO. Feb. lS.-The Tribune says
there are strong indications that the
wheat market is being manipulated, and
intimates that J. d. Rockefeller OF the
Standard Oil Company, Jas T. North,
the "Nitrste King" and John w.
Mackey. the bonanza millionaire. are
back of it. The paper asserts that the
sale of wheat OH the Chicago board OF
trade alone aggregates seventy to eighty
million bushels, whereas there is less
than forty million bushels OF actual
wheat in the West, leaving about forty
million bushels which are really "wind"
sales and must be covered at whatever
price the market touches. The paper
saws that similar short sales have been
made by the combine, in all the princi-
pal wheat dealing cities OF this country
and at Liverpool.
