EFFECT IN WASHINGTON.
DISCUSSION AS TO EFFECT ON REPEAL
OF SHERMAN LAW.

DISCUSSION AS TO EFFECT ON REPEAL
OF SHERMAN LAW.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-One effect
of the action OF the government of
India has been to renew the demand
for an extra session of congress and
views of the silver situation were pre-
sented to Secretary Carlisle this morn
ing by many of his congressional call
ers and by numerous kilograms from
all sections of the country. Before
going to the cabinet Secretary Car
Isle received a cablegram from Lon
don announcing further decline in
the price of silver to 80 pence. At
this price a silver dollar is worth
SO 3-4 cents.
Senator Dolph of Oregon, who is the
only Pacific slope senator in the city,
said this morning: I'm opposed to
my colleague, as you know, on the
subject of free coinage, and am in ia
vor of maintaining all currency on par
with gold, but it seems to me that this
action OF the Indian government will
diminish instead of increasing the
prospect of passing the repeal of the
Sherman silver law by the senate. l
think the effect will be to make
thoughtful members of congress hest
tate before they further depreciate the
value of silver by suddenly throwing
upon the markets of the world
4, 100000 ounces of silver, equivalent to
nearly the whole American product
now purchased and stored by the gov.
eminent. l do not know that any.
thing better than the repeal of the
Sherman act can be. done to relieve
the situation, but l am fearful the re-
peal of that act will be disastrous to
the finances OF the government and to
silver"
The senator further desired to cor
rect the published statement that he
said in substance that Cleveland would
not be able to command the presence
of congress at a special session and
that he himself would not come to
Washington prior to September 80.
He might have said congress she uld
not, on account of hot weather, be

THE SILVER QUESTION.
LANDsDoWNE EXPLAINS MATTERS TO
INDIAN COUNCIL.
Says 1t Was Rather to Prevent Further
Fall in Exchange Than to Raise the
Value Of the Rupee-Effeet 1t May
Have on American Legislation.

SIMLA, June ""27.-In explaining Ito
the India council the bill providing
for the stoppage CT the free coinage of
silver and other monetary measures,
the adoption of which was announced
yesterday, the Marquis of Lansdowne,
viceroy of India, said. he hoped the
government would not be criticized
for disposing of so important a ques-
ton at g single sitting. The keynote
OF the scheme was rather to prevent
further fall in exchange than to raise
the value of the rupee. The fixing of
+ onal rate on change at Is 4d,
provides all automatic means of pre-
venting closing Of mints and violent
disturbing of exchange rates. The
rate ofexchange had been high enough
to relieve the government, while it was
within the limits of recent fuctua-
tions. There should be no
mistake, the viceroy said, about the
facts. 1t was not proposed to substi-
tute gold for silver currency. No at
tempt would be made at present to fix
the legal tender for gold. for while the
ratio of value was mentioned it was
only provisional. In conclusion the
viceroy expressed the governments
sense of the gravity of the step which
it Was about to take. Personally he
was averse to all attempts to give
money commodities fictitious value
but the time had arrived when to re-
main inactive was impossible. The
government would be unworthy the
name if it left things alone.
1t had not taken the momentous
step with light hearts. He
hoped it's action would be
fruitful in good results and that suf-
ticient reserve of gold would be &C
cumulated to make ali effective gold
standard possible.
RUPEE PAPER STRONG.
LONDON, June 27.-Rupee paper is
very strong at II, owing to the action
taken yesterday by the government of
India on the silver question.
SATISFACTION AT CALCUTTA.
CALCUTTA, June 27.-General salts,

A DIAMOND ROBBERY.
A Visitor to the Regatta Is Touched by a
Fallen Angel.

Fallen Angel.
For over two weeks past the police
of the city have been engaged in fer
reting out the mystery surrounding
the theft of some diamonds from
stranger who was in the city, by Allie
EXkland, member of George
Frazier's mansion in the First ward.
The stranger was visitor to our re-
gatta and on Saturday night of re.
gatta week he went to Frazier's joint
as was his wont. This last
trip was rather disastrous
to his recuniary welfare as
he was touched for his diamonds and
suspicion fell on Allie. Officer Chen.
neville and the other city officials took
the mattar in hand. The woman,
however. is a slick artist and bid
them defiance at every turn, 1t was
thought that she was also the dis
poser of some other diamonds, though
this was not known for certain. A
week ago Officer Chenneville insisted
that the lady in question be arrested
and it was done. She has ever since
been in custody at the "mansion on
the hill.n Yesterday she was taken be-
fore Justice Barbour for an examining
trial, but owing to the absence OF
some important witnesses the hearing
was postponed until tomorrow. The
officers are certain that they can con-
Wet her of the theft of some of the dia-
monds in question, even though they
do not convict her of stealing the
strangers pin.

A Hot Day.

Sunday was decidedly hot day.
The sweltering humanity sought Sc
clusion in the shade wherever it could
be found. Those who were compelled
to be out in the sun complained con-
siderably with just reasons. for at $50
o'clock the thermometer registered 90
in the shade and 119 degrees in the
sun, which goes to prove that king sol
was getting in his best ticks on the
good people of the Capital City.

.TEXAg BANNING DISGRACE.'

The San Antonio Express does not
mipce words, but under the above
heading yesterday thus shows up o
great state wrong:
The Austin correspondent Of the
Dallas Galveston News works up q

fusal of Superintendent Barker OF the
Southwest Texas Insane asylum to ad-
nit one Henry Purnell. 1t appears

the asylums is but 15OO patients. ."
Where are the $500 unfortunates VINO

in county jails and poor houses.
Good God!
Think of demented men and women
cooped up in prison cells, attended
ONLY by those whose business it is to
deal with criminals! OF unfortunates
entitled to every care, to the most
skillful medical att tendance, the most
pleasant sights aud sounds, herded on

edly poor that we cannot take care OF
our unfortunate, let us send commit
tee to charitable Boston TO implore the
aid of the Puritansl We allowed yam
kee railway magnates to complete our
Worlds Fair building for US; why not
pass around the subscription list and
beseech aid to enlarge our asylumsT
The Express is in error as to the
original reason for Purnell's refusal by
DIR. Barker, who plainly refused him
admittance to the Southwest Texas in
sane asylum because he had killed his
(Dr. Barker's) friend, Superintendent
Reeves of the Austin asylum. But as
to the proper drift of The Express ar
ticle there can be no question. There
is no greater or louder crying shame in
Texas than her totally insufficient pro
vision of accommodation for her insane.
And that after the Legislature had
made appropriations for the improve
ment of all three of the insane asylums
Governor Hogg on the score of
economy should have seen fit
to veto them, while at the same time
refusing the sugar bounty and per-
hitting other expenses of less inn
portant nature to stand, will not add
lustre to his administration. Texas
does not need to go North for help to
aid her in caring for her unfortunates
of providence, but she does need a
stirring up all along the line upon the
necessity Of the states performing her
duty in this matter as she should.
