The viceroy Explains the Action OF He
Govsrnmsnt In KiiliaG silver.
SIMLA, India. June 27.--Expiaining to
the India council the bill providing for the
stoppage OF tho FREQ coinage Of silver, the
adoption OF which was announced yester-
day, the Marquis of Lansdowuc. viceroy
OF India. said he hoped the government
would not be criticised for disposing Of SO
important q question at a single sitting.
The keystone OF the scheme was rather TO
prevent n further falling of OF exchange
than raise tho value of the rupee. The
fixing Of prov isional rate Of exchange at
Is. I'd. provided an automatic means OF
preventing the closing of the mints and
violent disturbing of exchange rates. Tie
rate OF exchange had been fixed high
enough TO relieve tho government Of Its
most pressing necessities. whilc II was
well within tho limits Of the recent nuctu-
alton.
There should he no mistake, the viceroy
said, about the facts. II was proposed 10
substitute gold for silver currency. No
attempt would be madc at present to fix
the legal tondcr price for gold. While a
ratio Of value was mentioned, II was only
provisional. In conclusion the viceroy
expresses the governments sense OF
gravity Of the step II was about to take.
Personally he was averse TO oil attempts
TO give money commodities n fictitious
value, but the time had arrived when TO
remain inactive was impossible. The
government would he unworthy Of the
name il il left things alone. II had not
taken the momcntous steps with light
hearts. lie hoped its action would be
fruitful In good results and that sufIi-
cicnt reserve Of gold be accumulated to
make an effective gold standard possible.

DENVER, June 21.-The Denver smelters
feel very severely the drop in silver. They
have on hand an average Of about 10000
ounces each. enough TO las, for several
months without making any new con-
tracts. But the trouble is there is abso-
lutely no market for silver. and IL the
smelters cannot dispose Of the product Of
their works it will be an impossiblity to

the smelters here and throughout the

WASHINGTON. June 27.-Two hours were
consumed by the cabinet to-day in dis
cussing the new phase OF the silver Iues-
ton and other matters demanding atten-
ton.
The conferences yesterday afternoon
and evening between tho president and
Carlisle simplified matters to some extent.
Although tho discussion, il is said. took n
wide range, II was necessarily brought
back to the one important, unmanageable
point that the executive had no power in
the premises, congress alono being abe to
deal with the measures for relief.
II was plain to the cabinet that tho
monthly purchase of silver must he con-
tinucd or congress must be convened in
special session Immediately.
Tho president has decided TO call con.
gress together Ia the early part OF Scptem-
ber to deal with the financial situation.
