A GREAT SCHEME.
Proposition for Uncle Sam to Buy
British Columbia With Silver.

~ oIltcF.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.-The Call
will publish an article tomorrow to the
effect that Horace F. Cutter. political
economist, has prepared bill to meet
the present monetary emergency. He
has had the matter under consideration
for three years. and his present
action is the result of encourage
ment received from both the members
of congress and the business men OF the
coast. Sponsors stand ready at Wash
ingtOn to introduce the measure, but
Mr.. Cutter is so confident of having
solved the problem that he prefers to
lay it before the public first. Ii reads as
follows:
"Whereas, That portion of the coast
of North America bordering on the Pa
cifc ocean and extending from latitude
40 degrees to 81 degrees 40 minutes
north, now called British Columbia,
should, by its geographical position,
naturally belong TO the United States;
therefore, be it enacted, etc, that the
president of the United States be and
hereby is authorized and empowered to
enter into negotiations with the
British government for the purpose of
acquiring by purchase for the United
CldLSS OWueISuip Ill tHllTeIy OI S3lQ
country now called British Columbia:
and that the sum of 500, 900, or so
much thereof as may be necessary, be
placed at his disposal TO effect said pur-
pose. The sum agreed upon to be paid
either in gold, in ten equal annual pay
ments without interest. or at once in
silver bars at actual average cost of
same as purchased by the United States
government. India is agitating the
whole civilized world. One hundred
millions of dollars, payable in silver
bars at say an average of 80 pence per
ounce. would give England an oppor-
tunity of converting the same Into
coin which might be made so
as to correspond precisely in
value to our own dollar This
silver parity with gold is now reckoned
at 1927 per ounce, which would give
the British government an additional
sum of some forty millions for seignior-
age. By international agreement a
similar amount of Sl40,000.O0O could be
coined by the United States, both Civ
ing S240, 100000 of silver coins to be in
terchangeable between the people of
both countries, thus taking an immense
step in the direction of the coin
union.'"

MINISTER BaoUNT,s ARRIVAL
Refuses to say Much, but Will

Refuses to say iIuch, but Will
Soon Report to Cleveland.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.-Mlnister
BlOunt, Oh his arrival here today,
would talk but little about Hawaiian
affairs. He said that affairs there were
quiet, or lie would not be here. He re-
fused to answer questions as TO the
nature of his report to President Cleve-
land, and also declined to express
an opinion as to the stability
of the provisional government, if it
should be decided to allow Hawaii to
conduct its own government. MIR.
Blount is accompanied by Mrs. Blouht
and his secretary, Ellis Mills. The
party will devote several days to sight
seeing about San Francisco before start
ing east. Mr.. Blount has not decided
whether he will go to Washington or to
his home in Georgia first, and has wired
the state department for Instructions.
In reply to inquiries shortly before he
left Honolulu, the minister said in sub
stance:
II am going owing to the pressure of
my private affairs. | am done with my
work here, and there is no necessity for
me 70 remain. Besides, | shall leave
things here in good shape, and there is
no anticipation that trouble viii be pre-
cipitated during an interval of thirty
days. which will likely pass before my
successor can arrive. ii he does not
come on the Australia before | leave.
| have notified he'State department of
my intended departure. | shall turn
over the archives or the government,
with other property, to Consul General
Severance at noon of Aug. S if the
Gaelic arrives in the morning.
There is no danger OF any
disturbance from anneXationlSts, and
in conversation with leading
royalists, L have learned that they will
make no further opposition to the pro-
viSional government until after the de
cision of the United States is announced
on the proposition for annexation. AM
anxious to get home, and AIN confident
the provisional government is capable
OF preserving the peace and quiet OF the
country"
Throughout the interview ran the
prevailing idea that Minister Blount
considered the provisional government
as fixture, not to be disturbed unless
the United States should see fit to
change its policy hereafter. When ap-
preached about the contents of his re-
port. he replied that he intended Ieay-
ing Hawaii without expressing an opin-
ion on either side of the question at
issue. But the entire tenor of his con-
verSatlon went to show that his re-
served opinion was that the government
of the United States should uphold the
present island government IN the inter-
est of Americans anu America.
