a Little Railway Laid Ey For a
Tfme-NO FOYS.

HoT STRINGS. Aug. o. Special. 1.-The
Laurel River and Hot Springs railroad,
which is only finished 2l2 miles and has
been operated that distance only up to
about two weeks ago, has suspended
operations entirely, discharged and paid
up all their employees and hands, sold
their remaining fuel to DR.. Ross of the
Mountain Park hotel, and laid up until
financial matters assume a more hopeful
condition. In the meantime that little
24-inch gauge road is getting a new crop
of grass on its miniature track.
The Mountain Park hotel is assuming
its usual lively mid summer activity,
guests arriving on every train, and
things are pleasant aud sociabe with
many and varied amuscments during
the day and evenings. The fine, pure
air, the clear atmosphere, no mists, no
fog, notwithstanding two rivers sur
rounding this picturesque spot, make
one feel elastic and invigorated.

stand Alone.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Thc following is the
substance of the resolution adopted by
the silver convention:
All legislation dcmonetizing silver and
restricting the coinage thereof must be
Immediately and completely repealed by
an act restoring the coinage of the coun-
try to the conditions established by the
soundness of the nation. We protest
against the financial policy Of the United
States being made up on the opinion or
policies of any foreign governments.
We assert that the only remedy for the
financial trouble is to open the mints of
the nation to gold and silver on the
equal terms, at the old ratio of 16 of sill
yre to one of gold.
Section 3 protests against the repeal of
the Sherman act, except by an act rcstor-
ing free bi-me tallic coinage
the fact that national bank and legal
tender money of whatever kind has not
fallen in value particle. and suggests
for the consideration of citizens that the
refusal of opponents of bimetallism to
propose any substitute for the present
law or to elaborate any plan for the flu
ture, indicates either an ignorance Of our
financial needs or an unwillingness to
take the public into their confidence.

The dispatch, which WAS sent by Chief
Smiths son, Richard ii. Smith, will be
read with regret by many people in
Ashcyillc and all over Western North
Carolina. Chief Smith was the most
prominent member of the Eastern band
of Cherokee Indians i'll Swain county. He
was born in Cherokee county about so
years ago and in that county was reared.
He received very fair cduc4t ion and
was al ways looked upon by his people as
Il safe counselor. He was the soul of
honor and made friends among the
whites wherever he went. He was a
man of splendid physique, straig ight as an
arrow, while his hair hung i'll jet black
curls about his shoulders.
Chief Smiths last visit to Ashcville
was last year, when he came here with a
number of his tribe to take part in the
celebration OF Buncombe's centennial, Au-
gust 1O11. The Indians camped on
Cumberland avenue, and their camp
attracted crowds continually. They
gave their native dances at night and
thousands witnessed them. One of these
occasions is particularly remembered,
hen Chief Smith made an address to
his people in the native tongue and then
translated his words so that they might
bc understood by the whites. His address
was full OF good advice to the red men
OF the tribe.
Chief Smith had never been quite we'll
since he returned from that visit to his
home in Yellow Hill. He was sufferer
from Bright's disease, which at last
claimed it's victim.
AS has been said, Chief Smith was
| held in the highest esteem by his people.
lie was for eight years their chief, which
office lie gave up only very few
years ago. He took a lively interest
in everything that tended to the
| further civilization of the tribe, and
| while holding the place of chief lived in
Washington some time working for the
| welfare of the Eastern band, whose pro-
grcss he had at heart. This was during
| Cleveland'S first administration.
| The dead man was prominent Mason,
| and this fraternity will bury him tomor-
row afternoon at Yellow Hil in the city
| of the dead that is pcoplcd by his friends
and kinsmen.
Chief Smith was onc-lourth white. He
| leaves a wife, and two sons and three
| daughters. The daughters were cduca-
| ted at Judson college, IIendcrsonville,
and are handsome types of their race.
One of them, Miss Lottic, was particu-
| larly good looking and attractive.
| Chief Smith was n good man and the
| Indians will long mourn his death.

New York Bank Buy Bonds and
Issue Circulation.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-A new and uncx-
pcctcd clement of re- icf has been injected
into the financial situation. United
States bonds have reached such a low
figure that the national banks see their
way clear to make profit by issuing
circulation against them.
Arrangements have therefore been
made by some of the more prominent
banks to increase their circulation from
the minimum limit at which it stands to
such an amount as will materially re-
licyc the present tension. it is estimated
that $4,000. 900 or $4,000, 900 will be
added to New York's supply OF currency
within Il very short time. Orders have
already been placed with the comptroller
of the currency for part of the new bills,
and some of the banks have bought their
bonds preparatory to dcpositinG them
in Washington.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Aug. 2.-Thc opinion is
unanimous among the lawyers that the

ono of the largest concerns In the Pitts

HOW THEY STAND.

Three Factions In the House, with Repeal
in the Majority.
WASHINGTON, Aug 12-The Star this
evening sums up the silver situation as
follows: There ere three factions in the
House on the silver question. aud conse-
quently three elements to be taken into
consideration. While the radical anti
silver men are demanding the repeal of the
Sherman law and nothing else and the
radical silver mon declaring that the leg
lslatIon favorable must GO with the repeal,
much the stronger element in the House
appears to be that composed of men who
want favorable silver legislation added to
the repeal act, but if they fall to secure
amendments favorable TO silver, will still
vote for the repeal In other words,
IL the naked proposition to repeal
the Sherman law be pres ented to them. all
silver amendments having been voted
down. they will vote for the unconditiO
repeal In this situation the only danger
frOnted with is the possibility that some
amendment Ior the free coinage of silver at
an increased ratio may be added TO the bill
before the final vote comes. Ii they can
SO divide the silver men on the amend
ments for the various ratios as to defeat
all the amendments or to adopt the ratio
which will not be popular they will have
no trouble in accomplishing just what the
aQulntebE6tiOn WautS IL Is Delt6V0Q Lu6b
should q ratio of 16 or IL TO l be
adopted SO as to prevent vote
an amendment for higher ratio
when it came TO q test the House would
vote to substitute an unconditional repeal
OF the amended bill. On vote for q naked
repeal with all other conditions out of the
way, there is little doubt that the repeal
bill would pass the House by large ma
jority.
In the Senate this element enters some
what into the situation. A large number
of Senators will vote for some legislation
In connection with repeal which will be
favorable to silver who will not refuse to
vote for unconditional repeal if they fail
to get what they want Some of
the Senators who will do whstever
they can to get added TO the repeal
measure q provision for the coinage of sill
yer al an increased ratio are countnd on by
the repeal men TO use all their influence to
prevent any filibustering or obstruct ion TO
the passage of the repeal bill II amend
ments fail. Their position is this: They
are In favor of repeating the Sherman law
conditiOpally. but they are in favor of the
repeal anyhow. even if they IN get no con-
dltIOnS.

In THE NAME OF RELIGION.

Six Enthusiasts Lost Their Lives During the
Riot In the Streets of Bombay.
BOMBAY. Aug. 12.--The riots growing out
of the religious differences between the
Mohammedsns and Hindoos resident In
this city have more serious results than
were at first spprehended. Six persons
who were injured in the rioting have died
in the hospitals. aud many others are still
under the doctors care. The bad feeling
between the two religious sects is becom-
ing more bitter. and when Mohammedan
and Hindoo meet the slightest tsunt from
one or the other Is sufficient TO preci pitste
a row. There is feeling OF uneaslness
every where in the city. and merchants and
shopksepers have closed their places of
business. fearing that another outbreak
will occur and their places be looted by the
rioters. Two squadrons of lancers sta
toned at Poona have been ordered TO pro.
ceed TO Bombay. and they are now on the
way here.
So desperate was the fighting between
the rioters Yesterday that the officers COM
manding the war ships IN the harbor were
appealed TO for aid by tho police and mill
tary In restoring order. A numb of sail
ors armed with cutiasses were landed from
the ships. end they did good service in
stopping actual hostilitles. Both the Mo-
