FRANCIS JOSEPH THE VICTIM


Discovery Of 4 Plot TO Hraol Tran
Bearing the EmD9roG q Austria.
VIENNA, Sept I8.-1f reports are to
be believed, plans have been discovered
Of an attempt upon the life OF Emperor
Francis Joseph. Full details have been
carefully hushed up by the police; but
enough is known to justify people in
believing that there is no doubt that an
attempt was to be made to kill the En-
peror. This story obtains publicity to-
day through the MAGYAR IIirlap, news
paper published in Buda Pcsth, the
capital Of Hungary.
Roumanian boy, tho story goes,
overheard a strange conversation be
tween two men, which led him to be-
lleve that an attempt was to be made on
the life Of the Emperor. The boy was
too far away from the conspirators to
gather exactly what was said, but the
words he dad hear so alarmed him that
he ran away and informed his parents
ot what he had overheard. After much
dcllberatiOn and consultation with
their ncighbOrs, the parents of the
ROumanlan lad went to the nearest po-
lice depot and informed the official in
charge Of what the boy had overheard
he reluctancy Of the boy ; parents to
communicate with the police was due TO
the iact that they dreaded being ar
rested and in some manner held

charge of being concerned in the
plot, at least as Witnesses.

HOW 70 COVER HE DEFICIT.

A. was distinctly pointed out by
The News before the passage OF
the law, the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman law demonetiz ed silver.
Many defenders Of the measure, in
and out Of congress, disputed this
assertion, until Mr.. Carlisle settled
it by declaring, in his now famous
New York speech, that the country
was on gold basis to stay, and
that silver circulated not by reason
of its intrinsic value, but by reason
Of the promise of the government
to redeem these same dollars in
gold, showing conclusively his esti'
nation of silver dollar. MIR.
Cleveland, in his message, says sig.
nifcantly: "The recent repeal Of
the provision req liring the purchase
of silver bullion by the government
as feature of our monetary scheme
has made an entire change in the
complexion of our currency affairs. "
Thus expressing in a more guarded
form what Mr.. Carlisle more open.
ly avowed, that is, the silver dollar
in common with all other promises
of the government, should upou de-
mand be redeemed in gold.

al hundred thousand dollars Of these
promises printed on paper which
did not cost the government one
hundredth part Of cent per dollar,
while those stamped on si! yer are
stamped on material worth in the
m arket somewhere about 60 cents.
If, as Mr., Carlisle and Mr.. Cleve.
land contend, and without doubt
correctly, the unconditional repeal
made the silver dollars nothing
more than promises TO pay gold to
