and got her UP to Quebec. ran her upon
beach. and let her stern sink.
Mr.. Davle. an Englishman. has large ship
yard at Quebec. He and his workmen looked
at the sunken vessel with moro or less quiet
satisfaction. and figured on n good job and
many months Of work repairing her. But
when the company's representatives ap-
preached Mr.. Davic on the subject. he was
very indefinite. didn't know exactly how much
1t would cost TO fix her up. and thought it
would take a year for the work. so the COM
pany telegrarhed to Mr. Edward Morse. who
has charge Of the Morse Iron Works at the
foot OF Twenty-sixth street. Brooklyn. and to
James McCaldin of Mo- aldin Brothers to como
on and make estimates OF the cost and time
for repairs. They went to Quebec and reck-
oned they could do the Job for $4,000 aud
have it completed In ninety working days.
They got the contract. much to the disgust OF
the high priced Mr.. Dave.
Mr.. Morse picked out nine men from the
Morse works. took them to Quebec. and went
to work to make temporary repairs prepara-
tory to towing the steamship to Brooklyn. Mr..
Morse wanted pumps to get the water out OF
the Wandruhm's hold. Mr.. Davio wouldn't
rent or let Mr.. Morse use any OF his pumps
nor would the other builders in Quebec So
Mr. Morse went to junk shop and bought two
old pumps. He got the Wandrahm lowed mile
above Quebec into VOLTS Cove. where he
beached her. He and his nine men worked
almost constantly for ten days. during which
time he says he never had any sleep. save
such as he got in odd minutes. They got
the water out Of her and then found that the
keel and the bottom had been damned right
up into the vessel about tw9" feet. There were
nine tanks or APARTMENTS between the inner
hull Of the boat and the shell. or outer hull.

coinage md THE ElTIOS.

The people are thinking about the coinage
question now for it threatens their business.
The tariff question affects them more, but fear
of free coinage began quickly and visibly TO
disturb things through withdrawal Of gold to
Europe in November. 1t would have been
wiser if the people had thought more about it
before they v0;cd for two great changes in
one. But now they think, and a correspondent
asks Just what free coinage means" Ii
means that any man who has silver bullion can
take or send it to the mint and get for it silver
dollars at the rate of 81 29.29 for every fine
ounce. If he has 900 ounces, which now cost
in the market $3.50 he can get for his bullion
81 292 90 in silver coin, or paper dollars Of
the same amount. If he owes $1,000 for gold
which he borrowed without specific promise to
uay gold back he can buy $50 Worth of sill
yer bullion. discharge his debt, ana have about
500 in Iega-tcndcr coins left on hand.
Free coinage at different ratio would mean
ONLY that the mint would be obliged to deliver
70 the holder of the bullion different number
of silver dollars for / 900 ounces Of bullion.
The present rate, commonly called 16 to /,
about which another correspondent asks. is in
fact +, shade less because ~ IL grains of
standard silver are put into the silver dollar
under evisting law. and 81 $40 grains of gold
int, the uold dollar that is, a grain of gold
is valued in coming at about 1893 grains of
silver. A Change OF the ratio would mean put
ting more or less silver into the silver dollar,
