New York, June 2S.-The well-known
banker, Henry Clews, who is celebrated
authority in all questions OF financial
nature, in giving mis- views on the silver
question, spoke as follows:
1.-THE object lesson which has brought
about the present deplorable depression
extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
1t is hoped Is now passing into the ocean,
and has arrived at the jumping off pace,
having accomplished its original purpose
of devastation and ruin over the entire
nation, leaving the dead and crippled
strewn in every direction.
There is now little to be accomplished,
for what is left after the struggle refuses
to be drowned. The worst effect, how
ever, growing out OF this avalanche Of de-
struction In this country, came to us Nom
day by cable from India in the announce :
ment that the government of that country
had stopped free coinage, thus showing
that the object lesson intended for this
country alone had reached elsewhere.
"The lesson had really for its object the
raising of the cry Of Sinking fish against
our silver product to such an extent as to
lead to the belief that our next Congress
would stamp out the purchase OF silver
under the authority of the Sherman law.
1.-The Indian Government, therefore,
foreseeing such action, has naturally taken
the initiative. so as to lead In knocking
out silver rather than follow after this
country had done so. 1t can be said,
therefore, that India has been to that ex-
tent influenced by the administrative OBJ
ject lesson to our own detriment. as India
was our best customer for our silver pro-
duct 10

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Two hours
were consumed by the Cabinet yesterday in
discussing the new phase of the silver
question and other matters demanding at
tention- The two conferences Monday
afternoon and evening between the Presi
dent and Secretary Carlisle simplified
matters to some extent. Although the
discussion, II Is said, took wide range,
it was necessarily brought back to one inn.
portant and unmanageable point-that
the Executive had no power in the premi-
ia Congress alone being able to deal with
the measures for relief.
1t was plain to the Cabinet that the
monthly purchase of silver must be con-
tinued, or else Congress must be convened
In special session Immediately. AS the
President had decided to call Congress
together in the early part of September,
to deal with the financial situation, and
manifested no intention of changing his
purpose, the project Of an earlier session
Of Congress, IL is understood, was dropped.
So far as the continuance OF the purchase
Of silver bullion under the Sherman law
was concerned, it was pointed out that
little more than two months remained be-
fore Congress would convene in extra ses-
sion and that during the intervening tim Q
the silver to be purchased would be only
nine million ounces, q comparatively
small amount In view Of the previous pur.
chases. That the best way to deal with
the question was to await the course of
events for two months longer was gener-
ally agreed to and It was with thi, view
dominant that the meeting adjourned
From the comparatively few Congress-
men in the city the following views have
been obtained: Representative Anderson
Of West Virginia said the action of the
Indian government greatly embarrassed
the situation here. He was free silver
man. but be believed the conditions at this
time would have 70 be considered in any
legislation on the subject; that we could
not legislats on the conditions of ten OF
twelve years ago, and that Congress would
have 10 act In accordance with things as
they find them. and not upon theories
He thoughta great many Of the silver mer
were dispossd 70 agree to some compro
mise, but the matter Of detail could mo-
get be determined on.
Representative Meredith Of Virginia said
matters were complicated for the sifveI
men He thought the Sherman law woult

NEW YORK. June 2&-Mr. Henry w.
Cannon, president of the Chase National
bank. and also one of the delegates to the
monetary conference at Brussels, said re-
xarding the Indian silver sensation: 1.-The
Importance of the action Of the govern
ment OF India in stopping the coinage OF
silver cannot be overestimated Mt this
time. 1t was the only country, with the
exception of Mexico, in the world the mints
Of which were open to the coinage Of silver
without limitation.
Therefore at the present time the only
countries in the world which are continu-
Ing TO produce silver legal tender money
are the United States and Mexico, and 1t
must be clear, even to casual observer,
that It is impossible for the United States
10 safely continue the coinage of silver or
the issuance of money against bullion pur-
chases. In all Europe silver is dishonored,
and gold Is fast becoming the only money
Of full debt paving power.
One View Of Americas Course.
1.-THE course of the United States is clear.
We must Immediately stop the further
purchase of silver and the issuance of sill
YER legal tender money. If this course is
pursued, there is very little doubt that the
other nations will be brought to a realizing
sense of the condition of monetary affairs,
and the place of silver rs a money metal
throughout the world will be settled with
In reasonable time. Our government Is
pledged to maintain all of our money on
gold basis, and some action should he taken
1t once to remove the prevailing feeling of
distrust and discomfort"
Mr.. Edward o. Leech, who was director
Of the United States mint when the Brus-
sells conference was held, attended the
meetings of that body In an advisory ca
pacity. In an interview Mr.. Leech said:
India nbsorbs in coinage more silver than
any other country in the world-about
40, 600, 900 annually. This fact will give
some idea of the tremendous effect the
closing Of the India mint to silver coinage.
II true, will have upon the price Of the
white metal. 1t is warning to the United
States that we cannot safely go further in
the absorption Of deprecated and depre-
riating metal in our currency without seri-
ously embarrassing our financial system"

The Bill Explained.

SrMLA, June 2S.--In explaining to the In
liam council the bill providing for the
stoppage OF the free coinage OF silver and
other monetary measures the adoption of
which has already been announced, the
MARQUIS of Lansdowne, viceroy of India,
aid he hoped the government would not
Ne criticised for riisposing OF this Important
question at n single sitting.
The keynote Of the scheme was rather to
prevent further Yall in exchange than to
raise the value of the rupee. The fixing Of
Inc provisional rate of exchange at Is. I'D.
provided an automatic means of prevent
ing tho closing of the mints and the vio-
lent disturbing of the exchange rates. The
.ate of exchange bad been fixed high
enough TO relieve the government OF its
r,ost pressing necessities while it was
within the limits of the recent fiuctua-
ions
There should be no mistake, the viceroy
said, about the facts. 1t was not proposed
10 substitute gold for the silver currency.
No attempt would be made at present to
jx legal tender price for gold. While
he ratio OF value Is mentioned, it was
Dnly provisional.
In conclusion the viceroy expressed the
governments sense OF the gravity of the
step 1t was about to take. Personally he
was averse to all attempts to give money
commodities fictitious value. but the
time had arrived when to remain inactive
was impossible. The government would
be unworthy Of the name IL it let things
alone. II had not taken the momcntous
tep with light heart. He hoped its action
would be fruitful in good results and that
sufficient reserve of gold would be accu-
mulated to make an effective gold stand

GROSS IMMORTALITY.

An instance of fragrant misconduct,
which, though open and notorious,
promises to go unpunished and unre-
buked i'll the Department at Washing
ton, is made public through the fol
loving special correspondence from
the capital city:
The wife of prominent builder
and contractor of this city recently
complained to Mr. Carlisle that an
unmarried lady clerk in the treasury
department had enticed the complain
ants husband from the society and
support of his family and home and
had refused to dismiss him though
appealed to by his wife and children.
The secretary found that though
the allegations against the treasury
clerk were substantially true 1t was
also true that her departmental record
and reputation were unexceptionable
This was attested by her chief of di-
vision and the head of the bureau in
which she wa employed. He was
therefore disposed to hold that the
complaint was one that should be
made in divorce court instead OF
the treasury department, but has TAX
en- that view under consideration and
his final action is anxiously awaited
by all parties to the affair.
The injured wife belongs to an old
eminent, respectable family and is q
woman of much culture and refine.
ment. She has no desire TO secure Q
divorce, neither does she wish hel
erring husband to return to her. The
purpose of the letter written to Secre
tary Carlisle is simply to induce him
to discharge the woman for the good
of the service and thus reduce her op.
portunity for evil doing. The hus
band and wife recently separated, and
the former has not contributed to th,
support of his family during thai
period Of time, having taken up hi
residence in the same house with thu
department clerk. The wife lives will

ELECTION IN KENTUCKY.

The first election under the new con-
stitutioD, by the secret ballot system
is being held the State of Kentucky
today. The contest promises to be
both close and exciting. The issue in
the legislative contest among the
democrats in the early stages Of The
campaign was on the question Of
United States senatorship The can
didates are Senator Lindsay and Con-
gresham McCreary. There is but
little doubt but what the new legisla-
ture will re-elect Mr.. Lindsay without
opposition. 1t is not probable that
there will be any material change in
the complexion of Legislature. For the
first time in years the democrats of
Louisville have gone to pieces and the
voter is called upon to choose between
the regular and independent candi-
dates with the chances about evenly
divided. The rural citizens has not
been educated up to the advantages
of the secret ballot and the change in
the mode of voting will not show un-
til state officers are to be chosen.
