Hon. Patrick Walsh Makes a Patri-
otto Speech at the Fair.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Secretary of Ag-
riculture Morton had something to say
about silver, and he gave the populists a
touch in his speech before the national
commission of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition to-day. Secretary Morton
came here to take part in the fair quietly,
but yesterday the commission learned
of his presence and an invitation was
forthwith sent to Mr.. Morton to come ont
with the national commission to-day. Mr.
Morton addressed the commission at
length. Hon. Patrick Walsh, the com
missioner at large from Georgia, was
selected by President Palmer to respond
to Secretary Morton's remarks. Mr.
Walsh said, in substance;
Every member of the commission viii
recognize these two distinguished gentlemen
referring to President Palmer and Secretary
the country. They both look much like prim-
tive farmers, lapplausel, and | have no
doubt but that they make their living follow
lng the plow. They look like it, We reCOg-
nlze that agriculture, being the
first and fundamental industry of
this great country, should at all
times receive the fostering care OF this great
government, and al. sure that the farming
interest could have no abler, no wOrthier rep

terests than Secretary Morton. Applause ]

The west has been fruitful Of wonderful re-
suits to the entire country. But, Mr.
President and Mr.. Secretary what the west

In all the tide Of time no such spectacle has

DEPLETION OF THE GOLD.
The Amount in the Treasury Now
Only Ss2, ,966,o73.

Washington, Oct. 1S-The depletion of
the gold reserve in the treasury contin-
ues, and to-day it stands at 49,, 900, ,079, a
decrease of $40, $4,000 since Oct. l.
The currency balance has increased
about S, 1000, 600 the present month. To-
day it was S21, 1892, 600. About $4,000, 900
of the balance, however, is made up of
subsidiary silver coin, and from
$3,000,000 to $1,000, ,0OO of the net
balance is being used daily in con-
nection with the redemption of currency
torn and unfit for circulation. Hence the
actual working balance at the disposal of
the department is very small and resort
has to be made to gold to meet current
obligations. The redemption of mutilated
notes at this time is very heavy, and
Notwithstanding that the Office is issu-
ing with all possible speed it is about
$5,000000 behind in its redemptions. The
notes coming in is money that was in con-
stant circniatiOn during the stringency,
and which the people hesitated about
letting go long enough to get it redeemed
until public confidence was restored and
financial conditions improved.
The receipts of the government for the
month up TO date, have been Sl5, ,35l 900,
and the expenditures Sl7,2l6,000.

DANGEROUS TO EURoPE's PEACE.
The Hobnobbing With the Russians
Making Franco Ovar Exultant

Paris, Oct. 1S.-The French newspapers
published long comments upon the sym
pathy expressed by the Russians at the
death of Marshal MacMahon and seem
greatly pleased at it.
The cars message of thanks TO Presi-
dent Carnot for the courtesies extended
to the Russian sailors AT Toulon and in
Paris, has also greatly pleased the news
papers of this and other cities of France,
and it may be said that France and
Frenchmen feel more confident to-day in
the stability of the republic and in the
strength of their army and navy
than they have done for twenty years
past. IL will thus be seen that the visit
of the Russians ceAF'rauce has had de-
cidedly bracing effect upon France; but it
is an open question whether this will not
precipitate the long expected European
war. France is now herself again; hot
tempered, touchy, extra sensitive France,
chivalrOus to a very high degree, and
proud of her army and navy, strong in her
likes and dislikes, quick to resent an in
jury, whether real or fancied. Thus
France is more dangerous to the peace of
Europe than she was a week ago.

EXPRESS PACKAGE MYSTERY.
A Possible Shortage of S22, 900 in a
Package Sent by a Bank.

New York, Oct. 1S.-It was said at the
office of the American Express Company
to-day by Francis Flag, assistant to Pres
ideut Fargo, that the New York Office
had no official information that a ship
ment of money which had been sent from
here to New Orleans had been dis
covered to be lessened in amount while
in transit, as has been reported. at is
true" said Mr.. Flagg, "that $50, 600 was
sent by a New York bank TO New Or
leans, and that when the safe containing
it was opened at st. Louis there was an
apparent shortage of $4,000. Mistakes
will be made sometimes even by banks
and express companies, and until we hear
from our western manager that the money
has actually been lost, and how much of
it is missing, we can say nothing more
than that $4,000 is involved in an ap-
parent shortage"
