scarcity or Gold

rfot' suess, OF the University OF
Vienna, has said that the world mus,
absolutely face the fact that gold sos.
not exist in sufficient quantity to
maintain the money volume of the
world In his published works IN
The future of gold and silver, he saws
that nins'tenths of all the gold in ex.
istence and use has been taken f,om
places that have become exhausted.
All the gold minted in the future mus,
DO taken fram the veins. Silver he
says, cannot be drawn from the sands
ana the only way OF obtaining it is by
legitimate mining, involving large
capital and established business
methods.

In the House Of Representative
on the llth Dick Bland, in silve
speech, took up the question OF rati
and called attention to the fact tina
the ratio in France 10 15A to l. A
that ratio France has been able t,
msintain the parity Of the two metal
all over the world. That was proc
that the government OF the United
States could do so at the ratio OF II
to l. II Europe refused to accep,
that ratio, the effect would be to di.
wort from Europe all tbs trade of ev-
7~y silver producing country in the
world.
Could England, he asked, with
stand this withdrawal Of trade? Ger
tsinly nos- IL was bimetalism tina,
made the manufactures OF England
80 strong and prosperous. Western
Europe would have to come to the
American standard or abandon liz
commerce with the United States
and with all civilized countries.
The money requirements of the
United States, with the wealth, in
dustry and energy Of its people, we're
equal to those OF England, France
and Germany combined, and the
whole civilized world would have to
look to this country for its future
monetary supply. "And YETI said

A Butte Divorce Case.

They have just had racy divorce
case in Butte. Adam Farraday, the
plaintiff, referred to 1883 as the
monkey wrench and Ratchet period
OF his life, when Mrs. Farraday threw
these missiles at him. He said twen-
ty-two of his wife's relations came to
Montana at his expense and lived at
his house at divers and sundry times
Seven came out in 1888, four in
1889 and eleven more in 1891. Some
Of them are still there and he hoped
they we're doing well. In 1892 they
began borrowing money with which
to go back east, and because he
would not give up he had trouble
with his wife.

The steamer Don Juan was burned
the other day of the Chinese coast.
The FIRE broke out between the decks
and spread to 1000 cases Of petrole-

by the flames and others we're cap

The Chinese ran mp the rigging and

md the sharks leaped into the air to
their prey. The sharks came

When the steamer Sah Antonio

An Important Law Point.

An interesting law point was raised Ia
the Court of Appeals, involving ques.
ton as TO whether grand juror can be
compelled or allowed to testify in court
as to what took place in a grand jury
room. The case was that of Charles
Izer, who had been convicted in Allega.
NY county of perjury and sentenced to
the peniteniiary for five years II Is
claimed that the evidence of this witness
convicted the prisoner, who had been
summoned before the jury in a liquor
case, and who. il IL alleged, had sworn
falsely. Another objection urged by the
appellants counsel was the alleged ir
regularity in administering the oath to
the prisoner, IL being claimed that the
deputy clerk had not properly qualified
to perform this duty. The office, they
contend, is an unconstitutional one and
must be filed in accordance with its
terms. and that MIR. Williamson, the
court clerk, never was a deputy under
the constitution.
The case was argued by X. T. Scmmes
for the appellant and submitted In brief
by Attorney General Poe, who moved
that the appeal be dismissed because of
the delay in forwarding the transcript
of the record" to the court. az

HARBOR NOTES.
The Oyster supply About Exhaust
ed-Fcsseis Fast in the Ice.


The ice Is becoming thicker snd boats
are frozen SO fast in the harbor. that n
wiz he some time before they can he
moved The harbor and bay is covered
with ice and snow, which presents a
beautiful sight when the sun Is shining
on 1t
a telegram received at the CAPITAL
once al 30 this morning is as follows:
BAY RIDeE.-The ice has moved the
can buoy on Folley's point half mile out
on its place towards Annapolis harbor
The bay Is frozen over and all steamers
are coming in over due. and have much
trouble In keeping the channel open.
Steamboats, and sailing vessels are sc arce
on the bay, that few large sailing vessels
were out put into Annapolis for harbor.
All lows have two and three tugs with
one ahead breaking the channel There
IS large iceberg on Tolley sand Thorn
as point. The thermometer here on
Wednesday was below zero.
The Eastern Shore steamer Avalon ar
rived In Annapolis harbor yesterday and
later In the day proceeded 10 Baltimore
The Revenue Steamer Crawford sta
toned at Baltimore has been doing good
service in our harbor by breaking the
Ice and making way for largeE vessels
TO get out. The steamer laid in the lar
Dor over Wednesday night. aud her cap
tain on the following morning found
that he was fast frozen in the ice, aud
up to yesterday had not been able to get
out.
The Crisfeld schooner Travers and
Keene signaled the revenue cutter last
Saturday in the Potomac that Henry
Jensen, boy who had shipped In New
York, was found TO be frostbitten. He
was taken aboard and landed at Solo
mons Island, in charge of DIR. Marsh.
The steamtug Mascot, Captain Hunt.
brought to harbor yesterday the schoon-
ers Janet, May. Emma, Calumet Club and
Elizabeth Ann, bound to Baltimore, load
ed with oysters
The Annapolis packers offered big
prices Tor the cargoes but were unable
to buy. The oysters are selling higher
than ever known before OF the eight
oyster packing honses In Annapolis, but
one is able TO ill orders during the past
several days The larger packers ex-
pecting the freeze, prepared for it by fill
ing their houses, but the freeze has been
too much for them and being entirely
unable TO purchase, their supply has about
become exhausted.
Capt. Hunt, of the tug Mascot, reports
solid mass of ice from Cove Point, near
the mouth of the Patuxent. to the Pa
tapsco. A large fleet of dredgers was
found IN the Patuxent, but they were
unable to work on account of the ice
The tugboa,s Annie and Uncle Sam
arrived yesterday evening from Balti.
more Considerable ice was met but no
boats were found in distress.
An idea can be formed of the result of
the severe cold weather by the following
account of Captain Griggs, of the les
boat Annapolis. Left Baltimore yester-
day and went nown the bay as far as
Sandy Point; broke track in Beaverton
and Cut of channels, and found ice three
TO four inches thick and very heavy on
account of suow. The tracks closed as
fast as opened by the Annapolis. The
steamers Memnon and Frostburg were
conveyed up by the Annapolis. No yes
sells were seen as far. as Annapolis.
Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1893-01-13

Merchants of Annapolis, like the oys-
termen suffer considerably on account of
the freeze, and everybody talks hard
times The oyster packing houses are
at a standstill and shuckers have been
without employment for several days.
Many homes are reported to be without
food on account OF the stagnation In the
oyster industry, and but for the gener.
Gus people of Annapolis there would be
much suffering among families depen-
dent upon the water for a living. An
oyster shucker who applied for aid said
he was on the verge of committing sui
eide. There are many In destitute cir
cumstances. principally among the
watermen, who have not been able to
work for several weeks The present
weather gives them no encouragement.
When 1t is taken into consideration that
the oyster industry puts into this city
weekly between $1,000 and $4,000 the
stoppage of this sum at such an inclem
ent season. can well be imagined
