After The President.

Mr.. Cleveland's Life Threa-
tened by a Crank Police
Protection.
Washington, Nov. A num-
ber of officers, in citizens dress,
have been detailed to guard the
White House and protect the life
of the President, which is suppos-
ed to be in danger from a MUIR
derous crank who is at large in
this city. Last Wednesday there
arrived in Washington a man who
keeps restaurant in Boise City
La. The name of this man the
police, for the present, refuse
to give. Yesterday he went to
the chief of police and told his
story.
He said about a week ago a mi
ner out of employment came to his
restaurant and in the course of a
heated discussion about the silver
question and the effects of the re-
peal bill on the mining interests
Of the West declared with emph-
asis that he was going to Washin-
gton, and if the repeal bill passed
unconditionally he would kill the
man whom he knew should be
held responsible.
The restaurant keeper did not
know the man, but as he disap-
peared from Boise he concluded
that it was his duty to come here
and notify the authorities. He
arrived on Wednesday. This af-
ternoon he strolled up to the
White House promenade and the
first person he saw was the miner
with whom he had the alteration.
AS soon as the man saw him he
took to his heels. The restaurant
keeper thought possibly it was a
case of mistaken identity, and he
said nothing to anybody until the
next day, when he again went to
the White House and saw the
same man lurking about one of
the gates.
This time he was satisfied that
there was no mistake. He went
to the chief of police and told his
story, giving full description of
the man. As a precautionary
measure a number of officers were
detailed to guard the White
House and detectives are looking
out for the man who avows him
self an intended assassin. The
police declare they do not believe
there is any danger, but say pre-
caation is being taken to guard
against possible con tingencies,
and the matter is being kept very
quiet.

Coming Silver Dollars.
The Capacity of the New Or
leans and Philadelphia Mints.

leans and Philadelphia Mints.
Associated Press
Washington, Nov. 4,-In reply
to inquiries, it is stated at the
State Department that the actual
resumption of the coinage of sill
YER dollars has not been ordered,
but the mints have been directed
to manufacture the ingots and
blanks SO as to be prepared to do
30.
"The mints at New Orleans and
San Francisco can, if worked to
the full extent of the capacity of
the force now at those places, coin
about two million silver dollars a
month";" said an official of the
Treasury Department to-day,
when questioned concerning the
amount of silver that can be coin
ed by the government when the
work of coming the bullion pur-
chased under the Sherman law is
put into practical operation.
There will not he any coinage of
silver dollars at the Philadelphia
mint for some time to come," he
continued, "as all the efforts of
the force there is now concentrat-
ed in turning out gold coin. But
using the mint at Philadelphia
for the coinage Of silver dollars
the Treasury Department can put
out three and half million dol
lars a month. But the depart
ment will, it is understood, con-
tent itself with the coinage of the
dollar only at New Orleans and
San Francisco. The seignorage
on this will amount to approx
mately s750,OOO per month, the
department having paid for the
silver purchased under the Sher-
man act at the average rate of 924
cents per ounce. The mints at
San Francisco and New Orleans
are now manufacturing the ingots
and blanks for the dollars upon
which the impressions are to be
made"
In view Of tie expected coinage
of the silver dollars the question
has already been sskei whether
the Treasury Department can
issue treasury notes against the
seignorase, which, if the whole
amount Of bullion were coined,
would amount to about $50, ,OOO,-
600. An official of the depart
ment, however, to whom the ques-
tion was put, replied that such
notes could not be issued against
the seignorage. and in support of
this assertion he quoted the clause
of the Sherman law: "But no
greater or less amount of such
(treasury) notes shall be outstan-
ding at any time than the cost of
the silver bullion and the stand
ard silver dollars coined there
form then held in the treasury
purchased by such notes."
He said, however, that the seig-
norage could be deposited in the
treasury and silver certificates
issued against them, which would
bring about the same result as
the issusance Of treasury notes
would, 30 far as increasing the
circulating medium is concerned. |
But they would be redeemable
only in silver, and not in coin,
that is gold and silver, as the tce-
asury notes are. 1t is said that
the treasury notes issued under
the Sherman act, which were re-
deemed in gold from time to time,
amounted to S52,OOO,OOO. Some

DEATH PREFERRED. - The chemical
analysis OF the stomach OF Mrs. Maud
Eslick, who was found dead In the hallway
OF her home oil Monday last, revealed the
Tact that death resulted from opium poison-
ing. She was the wife of a barber and
had little child 2 years of age. Recently
she became despon1ent and declared that
she would never again give birth to child.
The fear OF maternity is, therefore. snp-
posed to be the cause of the rash act.

Special TO THE MoRSING CALL.

WASHINGTON, May I0.-The Vesuvlus
is apparently do omed. Navy department
experts in ordnance have about concluded
to recommend against the pneumatic gun
system on shipDoard. Commodore Samp-
son. chief of ordnance. with soon present
his comments on the report of the board
which recently examined the guns Of the
cruiser at Port Royal. and while the CON-
ments Of this officer will not boldly con-
denim the system il is likely he will dis
courage the continuance of this form OF
gun in the navy, much less the farther
introduction of the system in the service,
as was possible under an old act of Con-
gress. Commodore Sampson apparently
shares with his predecessor, Commodore
Folger, the latter's objection TO the pneu-
matte system, and in the absence of any
good reason for the retention OF fixed tubes
in the bow Of the Vesuyius the guns Will
probably be removed aud the ship con-
verted into an ordinary gunboai, although
her lines ana engine construction would
not make her q perfectly satisfactory yes
sci Of that type, while her vulnerability
renders her of little use as a warship.
There is some talk of holding another
trial of the Notwithstanding her to sea.
Inc recent IIlaI Is thousht 10 De nardly
extensive enough TO answer all the que5-
tions asked concerning the Vesuvius. But
the report of the board is now believed to
make as good showing for the ship as is
possible, and experts are inclined to think
the additional trials would not contribute
to the information already possessed.
The matter of fuses, the occasion of so
much extra work for the board, is one
easily corrected. The same cannot be
said for the valve gear of the ship. The
faults in that part of the guns remained
almost as pronounced and Objectionable as
when the guns were first fired in the Della
ware River.
