SIXTEEN 70 oNE,
The silver Mon WIN stiok to the old
Ratio.

The silver Men VIII stick to the Old
Ratio.
CHICAGO, Aug. 18.-A Daily News
Washington special says: 1t becomes
apparent IS the debate in the house
progresses that . test of strength be-
tween the silver and enti-silver forces
will be shown on the substitute for free
coinage at the ratio of 16 to l. instead Of
ration of 20 l which has been the pop
ular impression among the anti-silver
men. Weak points in the scale ofratios
above 16 10 have developed gradually.
Messrs. Bland, Bryan and other western
silverites are telling their followers that
an increase of ratio would be conces-
sion to the single gold standard. for It
would be an admission thai the future
use Of silver for money must depend on
its intrinsic value, instead of the stamp
of the government and would be subject
to change just as the price of bullion
fuctuated. The silver leaders agree
with Bryan that bimetallism does not
depend on any fixed ratio, but may ex-
ist as we'll at ratio OF 16 to a. at
ratio Of 30 to l. The free silver leaders
are compelling their followers to mass
their strength on the substitute of 16 to
l. and many Of them will decline to
vote at higher ratio, on tie ground
that it would be q degradation of the
white metal as q monetary standard.
The silver men now admit that the re-
peal bill will pass the house by large
majority, because of the peculiar vari.
sty of free coinage views, but they hope
that the senate will return the bill to
The house with certain concessions to
silver coinage.

His Wedding Night In Jail.

That amusing scene in the "Chapeau
de Paille d'Italie, " in which the members
of wedding party are ANONYMOUSLY
locked up, is frequently repeated here In
real life. A journeyman painter and dec
orator, who had married young woman
employed as fruit vender in the Rue
Clignancourt, was returning home with
his bride and friends when band of noe
turnal providers deliveted determined
attack on the party. The bridegroom
was knocked down by the aggressors, and
the bride slipped and fell. The battle
ragged furiousiy in tie dark for several
minutes, and the arrival of the police, in
stead of settling matters in the proper
manner, only made them worse. In the
general scuffie the real culprits escaped,
and the police, exasperated by the Aows
received by them, and not knowing who
struck them in the obscurity, arrested
the bridegroom, and despite his protests
carried him off to the lookup. There he
had to pass the night and was only re-
stored to his disconsolate better half the
next morning.-Paris Letter.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 1S.-A mystery
of 2l years. standing was solved today In
dusty store room in vanderslice's jew
elry establishment, this city. In 1872
John Daggett, now superintendent Of
the mint in San Francisco, took chest
containing q $500 silver service to
Vanderslice's store for e.keeping.
Thirteen years went by before
Daggett called for it, and then it
could not be found, and the jeweler sup
posed that some one had called for the
chest in Daggett's name and had made
away with it. Daggett commenced suit
against vanderslice for the recovery of
his silver service or its value. The case
was tried in the superior court and
decision was rendered in Wander
slices favor. Daggett then ap-
pealed, and thelssuperior court ordered
a new trial. Another trial was accord
ingly had in the superior court, and
again the decision was in Vanderslice's
favor. Daggett then dropped the mat
ter and nothing more had been heard of
it since. Today, however. one OF the
members of the finn OF Vanderslee &
Co. busted off an old unmarked chest
which the traditions OF thu establish
ment said belonged to family
in Oakland. 1t had been there
20 years to his knowledge, and he deter
mined to open it. He did 80 and found
the chest contained Dsggett's long lost
silver, the different pieces being wrapped
just as Mrs. Daggett had packed them
Il years ago. Mr.. Daegett was sent for
and his property returned to him with
mutual congratulations.

The causes of conjugal infelicity are

have they been 80 curious in character
as those enumerated by witness in the
divorce court on Saturday.
Witness considered he was the injured

objecting to the shape of his feet.
[Laughter.]
He further said that when he had his
hair cut it was never done to please the
petitioner. [Laughter.]
She also used to say his upper lip did
not suit her.
She was continually blaming him for
leaving out his his in speaking.
He was.not SO we'll up in theological
subjects as his wife.
And there was sometimes a divergence
of opinion when they we're talking about

One is not surprised after this to hear
that one of the allegations against the
respondent is that he had struck the
petitioner with The Methodist Magazine!

Coming Inrsrnatlon.l k.positIons.

People who are fond of going to inter-
national exhibitions can 20 to lots Of
them within the next seven or eight
years. In about seven months from this
time, or on the 1st of April, there is to
be opened at Madrid, under the auspices
Of the Spanish government, show bear
ing the official title of 1.-The Universal
International Exposition" the managers
of which have already given notice that
they are prepared to receive exhibits
from all countries, including the United
States. It is to be held in the Palace of
Industry and its annexes and will be
kept open for eight months
Then, three years afterward, or in 1897,
the Turkish government is to hold
grand international exhibition in Con-
stantinople, if things can be got ready
for it and if the Russians do not get
down to the Golden Horn by that time.
1t is reported from there that Sultan
Abdul Hamid II, who is ON enlightened
and progressive monarch, desires that
the world shall be made acquainted with
Turkeys power, and that the Turks
shall obtain an understanding of the re-
sources of other countries. SO that thus
benefits may accrue to his own subjects
and the restof mankind. We must hope
that this project wifi not be interfered
with. The Turkish exhibition in Con-
stantinople win very certainly be worth
seeing, and it is but short trip from
this country to the Bosporus.
After some other shows of lesser i'm
rortance we shall arrive at the universal
exposition in Paris in the year 1900, for
which the French government is already
making preparations That will pretty
certainly attract visitors from all parts
of the earth.
In the course Of time, or let us say
very soon after the opening Of the twen-
tieth century, you will perhaps see an
exhibition here in New York, compared
with which all previous exhibitions will
appear trivial.-New York Sun.

IT JUST SUITED THE SPORTS,
Two Brutal Prize Fights at

Tim Sullivan Puts Pat Cahill to
Sleep.
Steve O'Donnsll Knocks John Catten-

Men Terribly Punished.
Sporting News.

By the Associated Press.
New York, Aug. 18.-Two matches
were pulled off at the Coney Island
Club tonight, both brutal enough to
satify any Of the 'sports" present.
The first was between Pat Cahill OF
Jersey City and Tim Sullivan OF New
York, for purse OF $1,000. Cahill was
not in it. Sullivan battered him as he
pleased and finally in the third round
put him to sleep go effectually with q
punch on the point of the jaw that Ca
hill was not revived for five minutes.
The next match was between John
Cattenach of Providence and Steve
O'Donnell of Australia for 20 rounds or
more. purse $250O. $500 to the loser.
This was q jug-handled affair, Cattenach
not being at all a match for the Austria
lian. The latter demonstrated his supe-
riority from the start. In the fourth
round Cattsnach began to weaken.
O'Donnell landed when, and where
be pleased and sent his opponent down
several times in less than a minute.
Blood was flowing down Cattenach's
breast from his face and he was stagger-
ing about in pitiful manner. Referee
BekhRrdt attempted out Of pity to stop
the match, but just then Cattsnach re-
vived slightly, and, rushing past him,
landed savely on O'Donnell. The latter
then went at the Providence man like an
infuriated bull and landed many vicious
blows. The gong just saved Oattenach,
and Jimmy Carroll threw up the sponge.
Cattenach proved to be q badly damaged
man. A physician had to be summoned
to fix bis face. which was in horribly

A Poets Life Tragedy.

The English papers lately have been
full of a very romantic tragedy, which
casts lurid light on literary ambition,
as the victim was poet. A Mr.. Stoer
and his wife were found dead in a wood,
and the coroner's jury found that the
man committed suicide after killing his
wife. 1t appears that the couple had re-
solved to die together If fortune did not
mend. The girl wife came from Ger
many for the purpose. It seems that
Mr.. Stoer was writer Of poems and
tragedies which did not meet with sue
cess. In letter left for the public he
says he was killed by "this so called
practical generation" adding that "ge-
MUS without means or influential friends,
without worldly goods or selfish folk in
terested in promoting it's welfare, per
ishes like flower by the wayside, seen
by few, observed by none and covered
by the dust of passing ignorance and
perversion."

Gladstone Gives Notice Of Applying the

LONDON, Aug. 18.-In the house of
commons today, Gladstone announced
that on Monday he would move the
adoption of q resolution to apply the
closure to the report stage of the home
rule bill on Friday next.
Right Honorable Joseph Chamberlain.

constitutional rights, and ought there
fore to be withdrawn, and that psrlia-
ment ought to be dissolved at the ear
liest opportunity.
Eventually Chamberlain modified his
proposed amendment by omitting the
words calling for early dissolution.
Thomas G.. Bowlss. Ce.ssrsative,
asked the government whether the
award of the Bering sea tribunal OF ar
bitrstion imposed upon Great Britain
obligations to forbid pelagic sealing by
British subjects at any time whatever
within go miles around the Pribylof
islands. He also desired to be
informed whether it put other
restraints upon British sealers, while IL
imposed no obligation on the United
States to restrict sealing on land at any
time. Further, Bowles said he desired
to be informed whether the effect Of the
award will not be to give an effectual
monopoly of the sealing industry to
Americans.
The foreign secretary, replying, said
it was not considered that the effect OF
the award would be to give Americans .
monopoly of the industry. The award
imposed certain obligations upon the
United States as we'll as upon Great
Britain, and he could not admit that
these obligations would act to the preiu-
dice of British interests, as Bowles had
suggested by his questioning.

A REPEAL BILL REPORTED.
Voorhees, reported from the committee
on finance bill to discontinue the pur.
chase Of silver bnllion, and declaring il
to be the policy of the United States to
continue the use Of both gold and silver
as standard money.
Vest, on behalf of the minority of the
finance committee, presented q substi-
tute for the bill The substitute fixes
the number of grains OF silver in silver
of the United States at 464.4 grains Of
pure silver per dollar and proportion
ately for hall dollars, quarters and
dimes.
The bill and So bstitute were placed on
the calendar, and Voorhees, gave notice
that he would cali up the bill and ad-
dress the senate upon it on Tuesday
next.
THE NATIONAL BANK BILL.
i The bill for increasing national banks
SPECULATION was then taken up. Allen OF
95ebraska favored the adoption of the
amendment offered by him last Wednes-
day to suspend the interest on bonds on
which the increased circulation is based.
In his judgment the bill would commit
the country to the policy of the continu'
ance OF the national banking system,
and he believed the time would come
when safety required the overthrow of
that system and wiping it out of exist
ence as speedily as possible. Nine
tenths of the people of Nebraska were,
he declared, unsltsrably opposed to any
thinE looking to the perpetuation OF the
national banking system.
Stewart addressed the senate and gave
the history Of the recent Developments
90 to the silver question at home and
abroad. He hoped the pending blu
would be stripped of every Objectionable
feature and then passed.
McPhers0n, from the finance commit
tee, argued against the Allen amend
ment as calculated to defeat the whole
measure.
Manderson opposed his colleagues
amendment, and favored the immediate
passage of the bill. He totally disagreed
with his colleague az to nine-tenths OF
the people of Nebraska being opposed to
the national banking system.
Pugh saw no reason why the govern
ment should not resume its proper con-
stitutional power and issue all the cur
rency which the people needed in their
business.
Walcott inquired what authority there
was in the law for the issue of clearing
house certificates in New York to the
amount of $37, 900 900.
2 Manderson did not believe there was
any.
ALIENS AMENDMENT DEFEATED.
The discussion of the bank bill was
resumed and PETER made speech
against the national banking system.
After further discussion a vote was
taken on Aliens amendment and ii was
rejected-yeas, IL; noes, 35.
The next question was on the amend
ment offered by Cockrell for the redemp-
tion of, at their face value and accrued
interest, such 2 per cent bonds as
may be presented for redemption. and
to issue greenbacks to pay for them.
The amendment was opposed by Nc.
Pherson and Sherman. Cockrell replied
to Sherman and advocated the amend
ment.
After some further debate the senate
went into executive session, first allow
ing Butler to offer an amendment to the
bank bill, repeating the 10 per cent tax
on state bank issues. When the doors
were reopened the senate adjourned
until Monday.
