Fruitful Source of Conversation
Among Financiers.
A BLOW TO WHITE METAL.
Views OF Bullion Dealers and Shippers
in Wall Street.
One Holds That 1t Will Paralyze the
Whole Silver Market, Another That
1t win Not Diminish the De-
mand in That Country.

NEW YORK, June 26.-The cessation of
the free coinage of silver by the govern :
ment of India was fruitful source Of
conversation among financiers today.
Business was resumed this morning with
general feeling of depression growing
out of a combination of unfavorable cir
cumstances. Fresh failures from various
parts of the country and stringent money
were good foundation for the announce
ment OF the stoppage of the Indian silver
minis. A prominent banker, who is also
one CT the heaviest silver bullion dealers
on Wall street, said to a reporter when
the announcement came:
'That is q crushing blow to silver,
and the effect viii be paralyzing upon the
whole silver market, and l think settle
ment of the silver question in this coun-
try is now at hand. The mint has been
opened for free coinage and such immense
quantities of silver has been presented by
private parties, and the circulation OF
silver has become SO great that the price
OF Indian rupees have been declining
steadily for months. This brought abou
the suspension OF free coinage"
still another large bullion shipper had
this to say; II don't see how the action
OF the Indian government In closing
their minis will much diminish the de-
mand for silver in India. India is a cred
itor country, anc do not see how her
balance OF trade is to be settled, save in
the old way, by imports of silver. If
minis are closed to private persons then
the government will have to import silver
for coinage purposes In place of private
parties. The government Will be COM
PEELED to do as Indian banks do, buy sill
yer in the market in London. The de-
probation OF the rupee is stopped. but
beyond sentiment, we do not see that the
silver market viii be greatly affected.''
At the sub-treasury today the payment
OF interest on the United States 4 per
cent, bonds due July 1 began. Tho total
payment will amount to S., 600 coo, and
the prepayment of this sum will, it is
said, have a very beneficial effect. But,
rs one bank president puts it, although
the boil has burst the sore place will not
be thoroughly healed until after the
Sherman silver law has been repealed. -
During the day the highest rate quoted
for money was 40 per cent. AT 2 O'Clock
ii was offered at per cent.
Clearing house certificates to the amount
OF 500, 900 were issued today, Geographic
transfers of $120 900 to San Francisco were
made through the sub-treasury, and after
the close of business application was re-
ceived for the transfer OF $50, 600. In ad-
dition $3.50, 600 in currency was sent by
registered letter and express to the Pacific
coast.

WORLDS FAIR APPROPRIATIONS.
A Decision of the Attorney General on
the Subject.

A Decision of the Attorney General on
the Subject.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-Attorney Gen
eral Olney has decided that the appropri-
atoms made by the act OF Congress, ap-
proved August 5, 1892, in aid of the
Worlds fair, including the appropriation
for the government exhibit, are as avail
able now as before the decision of the cir
cult court of appeals permanently open
ing the Worlds fair on Sunday, with the
single exception that no more money
ought to be paid the Illinois corporation
known as the s.World's Columbian Ex-
position.''
The grounds for the opinion are Con-
gress meant the exposition as whole to
De closed on Sunday. 1t did not, how
ever, undertake TO pass law to that
effect, but contented itself with making
certain appropriations conditional, not
upon the fact of Sunday closing, but upon
the Illinois corporation agreeing to the
proposition of Sunday closing so that a
regulation to that effect might be made

COLORADO MINE OWNERS.
The Situation Grave and Managers OF
Mines Called to Denver.

The Situation Grave and Managers Of
Mines Called to Denver.
DENVER, June 26.-The unprecedented
decline in the price of silver today created
approximations in Colorado. d. IL.
Moffat, the largest mine owner in the
state, said this evening to a representa-
tive of the Associated Press:
'sThe ituation is exceedingly grave; l
have wired all my managers to come to
Denver at once. Seventy-seven cents for
silver mined by men paid s. day means
a loss to the mine owner who has not a
fabulously rich mine. My idea is to pro-
pose to the men in my employ that in
stead of receiving So day they should be
satisfied with two-third that sum until
silver shall return to a fairly reasonable
price. If they do not accept such a
proposition | shall be compelled to shut
down all my properties
Senator Wolcott said: elf an extra ses-
sion OF Congress should be called today
the Sherman law would not be repealed.
Times are dark enough and indicate that
light must break in from some direction
soon. This means immediate disaster to
western interests, but it may be a bless
ing in disguise if we hold on. If we suf
fer the disaster entailed to Great Britain
is worse, and the continued fall in the
price of silver must force some interna-
tional agreement

COMMENT ON THE PARDoNs.
The Governors Action Caused Very Little
Surprise in Chicago.

The Governors Action Caused Very Little
Surprise in Chicago.
CHICAGO, June Ex-Governor AItgeld's
action in pardoning the anarchists Gre
ated no great surprise here. While it was
not looked for today it was expected that
from the governors opinion on the mat
ter, the pardons were merely question
of time. Ever since the men were sent to
Joliet there has been strong movement
on foot for their release, and few petitions
so large as those sent in their behalf were
ever prepared IN this country.
The Times commenting on the pardons
says: These men were wrong, but not cap
italy wrong in the method of their agita-
ton for redress of what they considered
grievances. Governor AItgeId has done
no more than right in giving them free
dom for the rest of their days.
The Inter Ocean says: Governor Alt
geld did not stop with the exercise of his
constitutional prerogative, but went out
of his way to catechise the Judge who
presided over the trial in the court and
the chief detective who ferreted out the
testimony in the case. This was without
excuse.

THE GEARY LAW.
4 New Treaty May Be Made with

A New Treaty May Be Made with
China.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-At the state
department. today significant statement,
attributed to the Chinese viceroy, to the
effect that new treaty must be negoti-
ated between China and the United States
to regulate the immigration question,
caused suggestion to be made by a state
department official that the president
could thus, with the aid of the Senate,
absolutely nullify the Geary law, as there
would be no necessity to secure consent of
the House of Representatives. A treaty
had the full power of a statute in the
United States, and if of later date, can
replace it as the law of the land.

price of silver today reached the lowest
point in the history of that product. On

close its minis to the white metal.
