Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.

BUTTE (Mont.), July pa large mass
meeting in the interest of silver was held
here last night, leading citizens from diff
ferent parts of the State participating.
The meeting was addressed by Hon. w.
A. Clark, ex-senator Sanders, ex-Con-
gresham Maginnis, Hon. Lee Mantle,
recently appointed Senator, and others.
Much enthusiasm was manifested, and
very lengthy address to the people of the
country, formulated by the Free Coinage
Association in Inc afternoon, was unani-
mously adopted.
Its arguments are on the line with those
of the address recently adopted by the
Colorado silver convention. 1t rehearses
the various arguments in favor of silver,
and dwells on the disastrous effects its
complete overflow will have on the West
ern States and Territories, directly and
indirectly.
The claim that the operations of the
Sherman Act or the foreign fear of free
coinage is responsible for the recent tre-
mendous outflow of gold is vigorously
combatted, and the assertion made that it
is due solely and only to the fact that the
balance of trade has been enormously
against us, and owing to this gold would
have gone just the same if there had been
no silver law in existence.
With regard to the cost of producing
silver, the address asserts fatty that every
ounce of silver produced in the United
States costs more than 81 % per ounce.
The sherman law, it comedies, is wrong
in principle, because it degrades silver
into a mere commodity to be buffetted
about by unprIncipled spectators. At
the same time, Treasury notes issued
under its provisions have been of inesti-
mable benefit by increasing circulation
at a critical time, and thus preventing dis
aster. To repeal this law Internationally
would be to destroy silver forever, and
play directly into the hands Of the advo-
cafes Of a single gold standard and con-
tracted currency. 1t would be the cruel
est blow ever struck at the debtor class,
Tor it would enormously increase the
purchasing power of gold and CORE
spondingly lower the value of all products
and of every other form OF property.
The Sherman law was never favored by
The advocates of free silver coinage, says
the address, but bad as it is, 1t is now all
that remains between the desire of the
gold standard men and the contamination
OF their selfish ends, and must be retained
in the interest of the common people
until something better is conceded in its
stead.

United States Senator Blair of New

China, and who was repudiated by that
Government, delivered an address at the

auditorium this afternoon, before a vast
assemblage. His theme was the true re-

force on the question of Chinese immigra-
ton.
lie asked: "What are we to do with
the great and pressing problem of emf

Mongolians, he said: Hal it been per-
mitted, 2O,O00,OO0 of Mongolians world

Further on he said: "They come to
stay and to debauch moral influences that

Mongolians. He cited the treaties with
China as mistakes, as the advantages
were on the side of the Cinnamon, and
claimed that the Acts Of 1888 and 1892 did
not go far enough in dealing with this
dangerous people. He asserted that the
foreign powers We're automatically try

objects, and declared that Great Britain

NEW YORK, July 23.-Juan Andreoni,
alias Giovanni Cavalero, said to be one of
the most noted sate-crackers and all
round thieves in Europe, was arrested
here last evening. Over a year ago he
succeeded in gaining the confidence of
Marius Malnati and his cousin, who keep
cafe in Marseilles, France, passing him
self of as a Spanish artist. One day he
disappeared, together with 10000 francs
cash, and large quantity of Marseilles
city bonds.
This was year ago last May, and the
most strenuous efforts of the French
police failed to locate him. He came to
this country as Giovanni Cavalero, and
lived in good style, claiming to be stock
broker. In March he visited banking
house to sell the stolen bonds. They bore
Malnati's name, and the firm, being sus-
picious, agreed to purchase the bonds,
paying 500 down and asking few days
time to look them up. Cavalero went
away and the bankers instituted an in
vestigation, which speedily brought out
the story of the rightful owners.
Marius Malnati came to this country
armed with proper documents to secure
the thief, but Cavalero had evidently
been alarmed, and never returned to the
banking house. Malnati would not give
up, and hiring apartments, determined
to haunt the streets, in hope of finally
catching his man. Last evening he came
upon him talking with woman. Nal
natl rushed up to Policeman Mcconnell
and told his story. Unfortunately he had
none of the necessary papers with him,
and the policeman could not make the
arrest, but, sympathizing with the
Frenchman's grief at the prospect of
losing his man, Mcconnell suggested that
if Malnati would perpetrate a vigorous
assault upon Cavalero he the policeman.
could run them both i'll over night. The
Frenchman jumped with delight, and
rushing at Cavalero dealt him furi-
Gus blow. Cavalero looked around in
surprise and, recognizing his victim, gave
a yell and fed into the basement of
hotel near by. Malnati was not to be
beaten, however, and dragged him back
to the street, pounding him vigorously.
Mcconnell then arrested both, and when
arraigned before Justice Hogan this
morning and the facts were related NAL
natl was released and Cavalero held for
examination and to give Malnati time to
put the matter i'll proper form.
