DID INDIA BLUNDER7
Council Partially Nulliiies Its
Decision Against Silver.
GREAT SURPRISE IN LONDON.


LoSpoy, Aug. R-The money market
was surprised and disturbed today by the
sale Of Indian council drafts as Is SID.
When the Indian minis were closed to the
Tree coinage OF silver the council fixed the
rate for drafts at Is id. and the kudden re-
duciion caused general feeling Of uneasi-
ness Tenders for bills 80 Is SD were
refused. In consequence Of the reduction
in the price of drafts rupee paper dropped
I'D.
The Times In it's financial article this
morning says: Denver & Rio Grande
owing 70 the absurd impression that the
Indian governments was about to re-
open the minis to silver. Whether
the decision taken lately on this
subject was wise or not. 1t
Is not at all likely that the
government would interrupt il so soon as
this. The origin of the rumor was the ac-
ton Of the Indian council in selling drafts
At Is SD. From the beginning it was
doubtful whether the council would
be able 10 force the market to buy
on their own terms. TIE fact that
Indian exports would be Immediately con-
tracted and Indian imports expanded, thus
simultaneously reducing the demand for
and increasing the supply for remit
lance to the East, had. We must
assume, been overlooked or not
sufficiently allowed for. Moreover,
no account could have been taken of other
means of remittances which ut pinch
could be and actually were made use OF.
such as rupee paper and even silver.
On the other hand, We fear
the majority Of the council
overestimased sthe rapidity with
which cessation Of coinage would begin to
give the rupee . monopoly value. This
was matter on which II would have been
foolish for any outsider TO offer an
opinion, but. arguing on purely a
priori ground, We should GER
tainiy have thought IL rash to
assume that cessation of coinage Of less
than two months could possibly affect the
velue of an article of which so large an
amount was known to be in existence
Perhaps the stoppage of mintage for a
year may produce some effect, but that Is
in no way certain"
The Standard regards the Indian coun-
ellis action as complete confession Of
failure seldom paraileied IN the action of
governments.
The Financial Neses says: What further
results will flow from the Indian coun-
ellis action IL is impossible to
foretell. 1t virtually nullihes the step
taken on June 20. and logically must
sooner or later lead to the question
whether, after ali, Ii is not better for the
Indian government to admit its blunder
and reopen the mint"

tanned by wire from Capt McCoskrie. are
bvief, and give no clue 20 the origin Of the
fire. The fire vas discovered about 2
o'clock by the Waterman. who saw flames

with the ship. The captain and engineer
had especially close calls. being cut offrofn

Their danger was increased by the pres

OF explosives, which at the risk of his life he
succeeded in throwing over the side From
the shore the captain and crew saw the
flames creep downward through the
ships timber till they reached wa
her. and the Mascotte was no
more. Realizing that nothing else
could be done. the captain and two men
proceeded 1t daybreak to Cape Jeaie, from
which point the news Of the disaster was
sent to the owner. Later in the day the
steamer Maud. passing on her regular trip
60 the west coast, came within haiiing
distance and ~ once took aboard the Mas

The Mascotte has had short but busy
life. She was built in this city three years
ago. Her lines were not graceful, but
they were practical, and the Mascotte with
her powerful crane and especially heavy
machinery soon had an established reputa-
ton ~ the most profitable vessel of her class
in North Pacific waters. She was able to
work in the shaiiowest water, and with
every contract she got she demonstrated
her success. The wrecks OF the Quadra,
Michigan and San Pedro were
in turn the scene of her opera
tions, and when not busy saving she
was sure of employment in handling
heavy freight which no other vessel in the
district could approach. At the time Of her
destruction she was making a''clean up" on
the west coast and had already secured
valuable cargo of anchors. chains, cables.
tanks ana machinery. She was worth
nearly $4,000. and was fully insured.
