Silver Cheaper Than Ever Known


Silver Cheaper Than Ever Known.
News Of the cessation of free coin
age of silver by the government Of In
dia, having just reached New York,
has proven fruitful theme of CONVEX
sation and, purely, mental speculation
among the financiers of that city. On
the day following the receipt of the
news, yesterday, business was resum-
ed with anything else than spirit Of
confidence. Indeed general feeling
of depression pervades all business
and financial circles, growing out OF
the combination Of unfavorable cir
cumstances Fresh failures from va
rious parts of the country and strin-
gent money were good foundation
for the announcement of the stoppage
of the Indian silver mints. A promi.
nent banker, who is also one Of the
heaviest silver bullion dealers on Wal
street, said to reporter when the an
nouncement came: "That is a crush
ing blow to silver The effect will bt
paralyzing upon the whole silver mar
ket, and | think the settlement of the
silver question in this country is now
at hand"

AN ARKANSAS HORSE.
Boundless, the Winner of the Great
American Derby, Trained at
Little Rock.

Chicago, ILL.,, ON Saturday, the 25th
instant, and won by John e. Cush-
ing's bay colt, Boundless, gives the
honors of the celebrated victory to
the West, our own State, Arkansas,
coming in for no small share, as it
was in Little Rock that Trainer Will
McDaniels prepared the wonderful
colt for the seasons work, entering
him for, and easily winning, the Ar
kansas Derby, in that city at the open
ing of the spring season. 1t is con-
ceded on all hands that the great race
was won solely on its merits and that
the brilliant victory justly and hon.
estly belongs to Boundless and Snap
per Garrison, his mount
The fearful delay at the post may
have injured the chances of some
horses more than Others, but the
Boundless contest was so decisive that
malcontents have little excuse to COM
plain.
Ex-Jockey Tom O'Hora, who was
standing at the eighth pole, says OF
the finish: "When they passed me St
Leonards was in front by good hall
length, and while not being ridden
hard he was urged a little. Then
came Clifford, who was then almost
gone. A full length behind him and
on the outside was Boundless, with
Garrison holding him back. imme-
diately turned to gentlemen by my
side and said: BoundIess will win
He will catch that other horse as soon
as Garrison lets go his head, and if il
comes to fighting finish nobody can
beat Garrison But no such contest
was necessary. Garrison let the
horse loose and he moved forward as
if the others had stopped. 1t looked
as if he would have won by great
deal more than he did,"
Much satisfaction is expressed that
the great race was won by western
horse and that the rich purse went to
poor man instead of to one of the
several millionaires who were bidders.
John E. Gushing bought Boundless OF
w. S. Barnes last fall at Lexington.
He went to Barnes before the sale and
told him he had not cent to bid with
but Barnes told him to chip in, and
the future derby winner was ex-
changed on promise to pay $4,000.
Mr.. Cushing recently bought out his
partner, Mr.. Orth, and this left HIM
without any money, so he had nothing
with which to back his colt Saturday,
Speaking of his instructions to
Jockey Garrison, Mr.. Gushing said
81 had all the faith in the world in
Garrison's ability, but l knew my
colt and thought could instruct any
body how to ride him. / was afraid
Garrison might not ride to orders
but he told me he had not been treat
cd right in the east and would give
$4,000 to win on a western horse.
We walked over to the stable and
talked the race over. | told him to
stay up where he belonged, but not to
make too much use of the colt. The
colt would make him believe he

Service Commissioner Johnston has been
removed by President Cleveland. The
President al first demanded Johnston 5
resignation. but the latter refused 10
hand II Ia, and was accordingly removed.
Ii vas because OF a long-standing trouble
in the commission. This trouble dates
back one year. A sChism was caused IN
the commission over the proposition 20
extend the classified service 10 free de-
livery post-ofices. Il became accentu-
ated a the time Of the report on the Terre
Hautc pOst-Ofice, when Commissioner
Johnston sent IN q minority report, which
differed 50 radically from the majority
report that II was evident that The sgner
OF that or the other would have 90 b.

a matter OF belief among those who are
acquainted with the workings Of the com
mission that 1t would be impossible Tor
Commissioners Roosevelt and Johnston
70 remain on the commission. Their
policies we're diametricaly opposed.
Roosevelt ii is authoTitatively said,
has been following out for the last eight
months the same policy which he pursued
under the Harrison administration. beiiev-
ing that the only possible plan for The
commission 10 follow was 10 be radical
and aggressive. and 10 attack A violation
OF the civil service law wherever found,
regardless as 10 whether the yiOiator was
a Cabinet officer or q man Of 30 aote.
II is known that the administration mas

Secretary Carlisle and senator Voorhees,

other occasions Mr.. Johnston has dissent

the two cases indicated he sided With
Secretary Carlisle and Senator Voorhees,.
while Mr. Roosevelt was upheld By The
President.
R-ticence AT the White House.
No information can be obtained st the
white House in regard 10 the reasons for
the removal Of Civil Service Commissioner
Johnston. Private Secretary Thurber
admitted that he had been removed. but
further than that he would not go A
new commissioner will be appointed In
few days, possibly before Congress meets.
Mr Johnston Vas appointed in July,
1897. His removal recalls the fact that
President Cleveland, during his first s1-

The removal was made upon the ground
that Mr.. Edgerton was not In accord
