SILVER CLIMBING UPWARD.
Rassia Needs Two Hundred and Sixty
Millions For Her Eastern Trade.

Millions FOR Her Eastern Trade.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-The treasu-
~ Is advised that the price Of silver
continues to advance in London. The
price to-day was 80 GIG pence, an
advance Of 5-16 Of a penny since yes
terday.
The opinion is expressed here that
the cause for the rise in silver in
London during the past few days is
due in part to belief that the gov
eminent Of Russia is contemplating a
step adopting silver as part of her
monetary system. Il IS said that in
timatlons have been received here by
government officials that Russia will
replace her uncovered paper money
with silver, to be used for subsidiary
coin. The present amount Of silver
In use in Russia as money Is not SO
cents per capita. Russia has about
5000, 600 in uncovered paper. It
IS stated here that Russia can easily
absorb $3.50, 900, 900 in silver and is
desirous Of doing 50 for the purpose
OF pushing her commerce in the east
with Persia, India and China, which
use silver almost exclusively as money

RocKLAND, January 14-After innu
merable interviews with prominent Re-
publicans who ought to know, and pro-
phetic Democrats who think they do,
your cores 7ent is of the firm belief
lands ne
Edward = 3 Dtler, who has held this
honor SO successfully the past thre 9
years, will soon retire from public SER
vice, and it is well that the important
work begun during his administration
should be carried on. With five years
experience in the city government, two as
a member of the common council and
three in the board of aldermen, Mr.. Mil
ler. who is at present president of the
upper board, is Just the man into whose
hands the reins should fall. Last year,
in response to a largely signed petition
of the leading Republicans, Mayor Butler
consented to a denomination, and Mr..
Miller, who might otherwise have been a
candidate, stood politely aside. Now,
the eternal fitness of things seems to sug-
gest that candidate SO thoroughly ca
pable, should be given party usage. And
it is only just to say th Mr.. Miller al
ready has the endorsement of large
percentage of the leading Republicans.
The PRESS correspondent is also given
to understand that Colonel F. G. Knight
will be in the field again this year. The
colonel is Justly popular and would poll
a strong vote in the caucus, but it is
somewhat doubtful if he would consent
to arousing factional feeling in the
party.
The Democratic party, recognizing the
futility of past efforts, have about decid-
ed not to pla tenpins this year. but to
shift the responsibility of defeat on a
citizens ticket, which is all the same
thing. Last year this same citizens
scheme was agitated, but Captain W. P.
Hurley, having little axe of his own to
grind, 6ermitted his name to head the
Democratic ticket. His natl populari-
ty did give him good showing and was
doubtless quite boom to his collector
ship aspirations.
But with the possible exception that
some shrewd, cool headed Democrat
like Samuel A. Keys may be nominated
there is every reason to- think that the
citizens ticket will go, and that the per-
son chosen to head it will be none other
than David II. Ingraham, better known
as the Unanimous alderman from Ward
81 David has had mayoralty aspira-
tions some little time, but has never
quite seen his way clearly as yet. The
citizens ticket may prove his Mecca The
next Republican board of Aldermen will
stand something like this: Ward 1,
Ephraim Perry will be reelected; Ward
2. A. p. st. Clair will be reelected; Ward
4, Stephen Chase will succeed R. B. Mil
ler; Ward 5, H. M. Lord will succeed E.
w. Berry; Ward 6, Israel Snow, Jr., will
succeed D. 81. Ingraham; Ward 7, Chas.'
L. Smith will be reelected. In Ward 3
a contest is expected. The present in
cumbent accepted the position under cir
cumstances that great many would
have not, and in addition is not over pop
ular with his party.

ABOUT THE SAME
Is the Latest Report From MIR. BIaine's
Bedside.

WASHINGTON, January 15.-The re-
turn of Sunday was looked for with
some apprehension in connection with
the illness of Mr.. Blaine, for the severe
relapses he has recently experienced
have occurred that day. There was no
development today other than favorable.
When DR.. johnson left the house this ev-
ening he said he should not return to-
night unless especially summoned.
The first callers of the day were Sena-
tor Hale and wife, who came about 1890
and remained half an hour. While they
were in the house Drs. Hyatt and Johns
ton arrived to make the morning visit.
Senator Hale told reporter that Mr..
Blaine passed the most comfortable
night he had experienced for many days.
At IL the physicians appeared and hand
ed the following statement to he re-
porters: ''Mr. Blaine is as strong and
well as yesterday" DIR. Hyatt stated
the condition of the patient was such he
would not repeat his visit unless called
for. The wind is keen and cold, and as
result callers at the house today have
been fewer than usual.
James G.. Blaine, Jr., with friend and
Miss Hattie, went for a brief walk in the
course of the afternoon. At o'clock in
quiry at the door elected the response
that M. Blaine rested conf rtably during
the day, statement which the absence Of
the doctors confirmed. At $50 DR..
Johnston drove up and remained until
625. AS he left the house he stated his
patient passed quiet, restful and un-
eventful day. There had been no appre-
ciable change in his condition during the
day, and none was expected during the
night Dr. Johnston stated to all ap-
pearance Mr.. Blaine had not lost any
strength since the attack last Thursday.
On the whole he regarded his condition
tonight as favorable as could be
expected.
At midnight all was quiet in the vicin-
ity of the Blaine mansion. All signs
pointed to continuance of the favorable
condition of affairs. The family have
evidently retired. At 2 a. m. there was
no change.

relief in republican circles today over the
statement of Charles de Lesseps impli-
eating Arthur Meya, editor of LIE Gau-
lois, as having received 100000 francs
from the Panama Company. This at last
brought the royalists into the drag net,
and shows what friends Of the republic
have claimed from the beginning of the
scandal-that republican officials and
journalists did not have monopoly of
the Panama corruption.
The fact that four Boulangist deputies
are said to be put under strong suspicion
by evidence before M. Franqueville is al
so considered as strengthening the cause
of the republic by showing the hypocrisy
of those who assail it in the pretended
interest of better government.
The government has also been consld-
erably strengthened by the speech OF
Chancellor Van Caprivi on the army bill
in Germany.
This has, in a large degree, diverted
attention from the Panama affairs and
aroused deeper interest in the foreign
concerns of France, in the necessity of
Frenchmen standing together against
their enemies abroad. Ex-Minister of
Commerce Jules Roche is said to be
vindicated from the cha ge that he had
shared in the Panama bribery.
Figaro's attempt to arouse public feel
ing against Carnot has fallen flat, and
men who vehemently denounced the
president yesterday are comparatively
moderate today. 1t is generally believed
that the worst is known regarding Pana-
ma, and that no developments adverse to
G rnot are possible. The discredit
thrown on the Ga lois has aided greatly
in relieving NJ Carnot. 1t will be re-
membered that the staff of that paper
was active in endeavoring, before the
Panama Commission of the Chamber, to
connect M. Carnot's name with the Pan
anna corruption, but when cornered had
declined, on alleged professional grounds.
