/ WASHINGTON, June 2G-"A viceroy of
China is quoted as saying that he would
like to send fleet to teach the Ameri-
cans manners" remarked a commodore
in the navy yesterday. 81 think it would
be an admirable idea. We want more
ships and that would be cheap and
easy way for US to get them. Suppose
that Chinese squadron should make
hostile demonstrations off the Pacific
coast. How long do you suppose it
would take US to gobble it up? A col
lision once arrived at it would only be a
matter Of a few hours or perhaps min
utes. We could easily destroy the ships
but it would be better to capture them
il practicable. True, the navy of China
is stronger than ours, 80 far as vessels
are concerned. but the finest vessels in
the world do not amount to row of
pins without good men to fight them.
The trouble with the Chinese is that
they do not know how to fight. Fur
thermore, they are not sailors. 1t would
not take us long to capture the whole
Of China's navy. When she fought with
the French few years ago she had
some excellent modern chips of war.
They were all taken off-hand Our own
navy is still weak, though we are boast
ing of it SO much, and fleet contributed
by the Flowery kingdom would be very
acceptable gift re it comes over there
is nothing l should like better than to
have command of squadron in Pacific

lords today the earl of Kimberly, lord
president of the council and secretary Of
state for India, stated that the Indian
council had passed an act for the immc-

for receiving sovereigns and half SOW
ereigns at the treasures in payment of

100000 more would be sent in the same
way today. 1t was said also that there
were some inquiries for similar transfers
Of money to New Orleans. No currency
shipments to this country were reported
at the sub.treasury today but banks
shipped between 100000 and 100000

WAsHINGToN, June 2G-The market
price of silver today reached the lowest
point in the history Of that product. On
Saturday the London price, which
guides the director of the mint in his
purchases for the government, was 37lls
pence, or about SIS in this country.
This morning the price in London was
3G pence or about 7SS in New York, a
drop of three points. The cause of this
depression was assigned by Mr.. Preston,
acting director Of tho mint as due to a
rumor which is probably true, that In-
dia, one of the largest silver consuming
countries, is about to close her mints to
the white metal.

GENERAL FINANCIAL REPORT.
The Situation at New York Defined in All
Its Bearings.

New YORK, June 27.-While, accord
ing to bank officers today, there was no
change of conditions to warrant any
marked increase on stock exchange
prices, there were not lacking reports of
character calculated to inspire conf
dence as well as some facts which justi-
fed the bolief that the outlook was
brighter today than it was yesterday.
One of the rumors was that the presi-
dent was going to call an extra session
of congress in July to repeal the Sher-
man silver law, the reason for the change
from September to July being the action
of the Indian government in closing In
dia nlints to private coinage of silver.
The question was being discussed 1t was
said at meeting of the cabinet today.
Another rumor was that Drcyel, Morgan
~ Go, were going to import S2OO0,O0O Of
gold. Morgan when asked as to this
story, said that as soon as ne imported
any gold he would make the fact known.

OMAHA, June 2S There is strong
probability that the big smeltirg and

the decline in silver. +. W. Nash, treas
urer Of the company, in discussing the
situation today, said:
I'VE have quit buying and shall buy
no more silver until matters take diff
ferent turn. We handle great deal Of
silver here, perhaps more than all the
smelters in Denver combined. 1t will

no more, but it will be only few weeks

q New York, June 2G.-The cessation
of the free-coinage of silver by the gov
ernment of India was the fruitful. source
of conversation among financiers today.
Business was resumed this morning
with general feeling of depression
growing out of combination of un-
favorable circumstances. Fresh failures
from various parts of the country and
Stringent money were good foundation
for the announcement of the stoppage
of the Indian silver mints.
A prominent banker, who is also one
OF the heaviest silver bullion dealers in
Wall street, said to d reporter when the
announcement came that it was crush

national Agreement"
New York, June 27.-Russ9l Sage
said today regarding the silver situation:
81 think the action of the Indian gov
ernment will have the effect hero of
Fastening the repeal of the silver law.
/ consider that law as done for now.
What disposition to make of the great
amount of silver which the government
has on hand and to place some fixed
value on it are the questions now
Jesse Seligman said that one result of
the Indian governments action will be
to bring about the immediate establish
ment of an international monetary basis
on fixed ratio 1t will have as much
effect in England and other European
countries as in the United States. 1t
will also be strong argument in favor
of the repea! OF the Sherman act. Tn
less this Was done better times would
not be effected A very serious state of
affairs has developed in Philadelphia.
Several of the big banks there are prac-
ticaly unable to remit to the
banks of the city balances
due them for remittances, and Philadel-
phia exchange is practically at premi-
um today in this city. Philadelphia
banks say they are unable to procure
New York exchange and they cannot get
gold or currency to ship. One bank in
this city mas 100000 locked up in three
Philadelphia banks, in that way, Of
source, it would send down and demand
cash. but it is unwilling to do so. The
probability is that there will be
larger issue of clearing house certificates
IN Philadelphia in day or two and then
balances due in New York will, it is pre-
sumed, be paid. In the meantime, how
ever, business men having drafts on
Philadelphia will not be able to get
credit for them here except at a pretty
large discount.

TROUBLE WILL FOLLOW.
1t should Be Unders, god and Looked
After Now.
Some Things Which People Cannot
Well Explain.
This May BE Absolutely New to the
Average Reader.

Many people wonder what It means when there
is tinSling or prickling sensation with a more or
less numb feeling In the hands, feet or limbs 1t
means that there is condition of the nerves which
predsposes toward paralysis. II In addition to the
above sensations there is pain in the head a gen.
eral bad feeling with weak. weary or excessively
tired feeling in the limos 1t may be taken as GER
tain that paralysis will result If something is not
Immediately done to avert this terrible disaster
All should remember that in such cases 1t is the
neglect Of these FIRST symptoms which results in the
fatal and dreaded shock of paralysis. II a person
will use the right remedy when the above feelings
and sensations appear all danger Of a shock can be
warded of.
1t is fact that paralysis and kindred nervous
diseases are increasing alarming rate, thou
sands about US neglecting to realize what these
symptoms. So apparently trivial, really mean until
they become Frustrated.
A very interesting story Is told by Mr. G.. W. Ry-
erson, who is a well-known business man, residing
at 261 Sth avenue. New York city.
In March, 1892, he said II had slight stroke
Of paralysis Of the left side. which followed
In about two weeks by a second attack, which COM
pletely paralyzed the left side of my body.
