BLAND TALKS SILVER.
He Sees Nothing Alarming in the Present
Situation.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 2S.-Congress-
man Bland, the great silver advocate, is
:lere. "Heroic measures" he said, in
reviewing the silver situation as affected
by the action of the Indian government,
twill be required on the part of this
government for the reconciliation
ST silver. Most emphatically 1
do not think it is knock
out for silver in this country.
On the contrary, I think that if Con-
gress does not adopt some measure look
ing to bi-metallic standard it will make
the battle of standards the coming issue
in this country. This battle will
disrupt political parties and cause a
contest between the commercial CEN
ters and the agricultural districts of
the country. Free coinage Of
silver is demanded by the laboring
classes, and this is what free silver men
will now demand of Congress. The de-
monetization of silver is a conspiracy
between the banking institutions of En-
United States and the suspension of sill
yer coinage in India is part of
this conspiracy to bulldoze the
Congress Of the United States into
the adoption of the single gold
standard. I do not believe that they
will succeed. If the Democratic Con-
gress stands true to it's pledges this con-
spiracy will not succeed. The low
price of silver is due to the fact that
this and other governments are dis
eliminating against it and that the
money interests of this and other coun-
tries have fought it. No important
commercial country has recently had q
mint for the free exchange of gold and
silver. The effort has been to dam up
silver and prevent it's free exchange in
the commerce of the nations"
"Can the United States by free coin
age restore silver to it's original value ?"
''This was practically admitted by the
British royal commission of 1888, con-
sisting of twelve members, six of them
uncompromising gold monometallists;
They admitted that France alone could
maintain the parity of the two metals at
a ratio of 159 to l. This country is
stronger in material wealth developed
and undeveloped than France and En-
gland cOmbined."

DOLLARS AT So CENTS.
Continued Decline in the Price of Silver
Puts New Value on the Coin.

Continued Decline in the Price of Silver
Puts a New Value on the Coin.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 29.-Secre-
tary Carlisle received numerous callers
to-day, among whom are many mem
bers of Congress. With all of these
the silver question formed the
principal topic of conversation and
the continued decline of the
price of silver was naturally adverted
to. The secretary had received a cable
gram stating that the price of silver was
to-day in London 6S4 cents per ounce,
at which rate the silver dollar as bullion
was worth SIS cents. Nevertheless the
point was of course apparent that the
purchasing powar of the silver dollar
with silver bullion at 6S3 cents per
ounce was as great to-day as it was
when silver was worth $l.22 per ounce
and the bullion value of the silver was
50 cents. 1t should be equally obvious
the credit of the United States
is behind it's silver money, as it is be-
hind all of it's other forms of money,
and without which none of them except
gold coin and gold certificates would
be worth their par value in
the money markets of the world.
This fact was several times
emphasized at the last session of Con-
gress when ex-Secretary Sherman and
others repeatedly declared during the
Senate debates that there was i'll the
treasury the bullion gold value of every
silver certificate issued by the govern

ESCAPE AND DEATH.
Conyicts Shot Dead in Running Battle

with Prison Guards.
Folsom, Cal, June 27.-At $3.50 this
afternoon a gang Of convicts employed
in the upper quarry, consisting Of
George Sontag, lite-timer and cousin
gang, Russell Williams, Ben Wilson and
Charley Abbott and ten-year
convict named Dalton, suddenly
seized Frank Briare, lieutenant
of the guard, put a pistol to his head
and started together to run up hill.
Before reaching the top of the hill it was
developed that they had two Winches-
ters and an additional revolver which
had been concealed among the rocks.
Up to this time the guards had been
unable to shoot as Briare was in the
grasp of the men and as they were
closely banded together a shot might
mean death to him. Just before reach
ing the summit of the hill Briare
ierked away and the guards opened fire
from all directions. The convicts took
to the rocks, concealed them
selves as best they could, and
returned the fire as rapidly as pos
sible. A terrific fight then took place
which lasted fully half an hour, during
all of which time shots were fired in
discriminatory from Gatling guns, Win
chester rifles, and revolvers. At the
surrendered. The guards found Will
lam Wilson and Dalton stretched dead
on the ground, and George Sontag bad
ly wounded. Abbott was groaning with
a broken leg. At the beginning of the
fight two other prisoners were wounded.
None of the prisoners escaped, nor
were any of the guards injured.

MANY MINES SHUT DOWN.
Cleveland Men Take Steps Injurious to
Northern Michigan.

CLEVELAND, O., June 2S.-The situa-
ton in Northern Michigan ore min
ing is in greatly depressed condition.
Mine after mine is shut down, and w.
G. Mather, president of the Cleveland
Cliffs Mining Company, all of whose
shafts and mines will be closed down
Friday night, says that the shipments
of ores down the lakes will be cur
tailed nearly so per cent. this
season. In the same range with the
Iron Cliffs Mines is the Champion,
which has decided to pull up it's pumps
and allow the mines to fill with water.
The stoppage of the pumps may be re-
garded as the final abandonment of the
Champion mine, as it will require six
months to year to draw the water out
of it when once filled. The Cham
pion has made fortunes in it's
day, having been one of the largest and
most profitable properties on the Upper
Peninsula. The Republic Iron Com
pany, of this city, has wired it's super
intendent to shut down the Republic
mine for sixty days. 1t is known, how
ever, that operations will not be re-
sumed until such time as the state of
the trade makes it advisable. These
mines employ thousands of men and
are practically the sole support of whole
towns in the Upper Peninsula of Mich
igan, and a protracted cessation of work
is bound to result in widespread suffer-
ing.
REPUBLIC, Mich, June 2S.-All the
stores here have begun doing absolutely
cash business as the mine closes Friday
for an indefinite period. Two thousand
five hundred people are left without a
single supporting industry. Great hard
shi must speedily follow. The dis
charged miners can find no work as the
situation elsewhere in the iron district
