Wrattan Family to Hang
February 16.

By the Associated Press.
WARRINGTON, Ind, Nov. 4.-Today
James E. Stone plead guilty to having
murdered six members of the Wrattan
family on September 16. The time con-
sumed by the court in !impanneling the
jury, hearing the evidence and passing
the death sentence was only three
hours. Upon being arraigned Stone
plead: II am guilty, Judge" The case
was submitted without argument, the
Judge instructed the jtry briefly and
twenty minutes later they brought in q
verdict of guilty. The Judge at once
sentenced Stone to be hanged on the
10th OF February, 1894, at Jacksonville
prison to which place he was taken this
afternoon.
Stone made statement to his attor-
ney today that he was once seized with
desire to murder his own family, but
STUN bling over a trundle-bed in the
darkness, he was brought to his senses.
He also stated that after committing
the murder OF the Wrattans he went
home with the blood of his victims
still fresh on his clothes and knelt
down by the bedside of his family and
caressed them. Application for new

Stone implicated were released on their

uary term of court.

lay revolver.
The dead man leaves a wife and
daughter, who is stopping in Mas
sachusetts. He was wounded during
the war and of late suffered greatly and
was much depressed. Before his death
he wrote the following to bis wife !:
"My Dear Wife: I have a terrible at
tack of congestion in my back and
brain. II L don't live until morning,
Mr.. Hart can tell you all about my as
assets. Consult Oscar Reuter- as your
attorney. Have the whole condition Of

dollars coined therefrom then held in

dollars coined therefrom then held in
the treasury purchased by such notes."
He said, however, the seignorage
could be deposited in the treasury and
silver certificates issued against them
which would bring about the same re-
suit as the issuance of treasury notes
would do, so far as increasing the circu-
lating medium is concerned but they
will be redeemable only in silver and
not in gold and silver as treasury notes
are. 1t is said the treasury notes is-
sued under the Sherman act which were
redeemed in gold from time to time
amounted to $52 100000.
Some question has also arisen as to
whether any bullion might be coined
into subsidiary silver, but the law on
this subject is also explicit as it re-
quires that the secretary shall each
month coin 100000 ounces of silver
bullion purchased under provisions o.
the act into standard silver dollars.

The Would-Be Assassin Is Followed

By the Associated Fress.
WASHINGTON, Nov. A number of
officers in citizens dress have been de-
tailed to guard the White House and
protect the life of the president which
is supposed TO be in danger from mur-
derous crank who is at large in this
city.
Last Wednesday there arrived in
Washington a man who keeps a res
taurant in Boise City, Idaho. The
name of the man the police for the
present refuse to divulge. Yesterday
he went to the chief of police and told
his story. He said about a week ago a
miner who was out of employment,
came to his restaurant and in the
course of heated discussion about the
silver question and the effect of the re-
peal bill on the mining interests of the
west, declared with emphasis that he
was going to Washington and if the re-
peal bill passed unconditionally he
would kill the man whom he knew
should be held responsible. The res
taurant keeper did not know the man
but as he disappeared from Boise he
concluded it was his duty to come here
and notify the authorities.
He arrived on Wednesday and that
afternoon while strolling up the White
House promenade the first person he
saw was the miner whom he had had
an alteration with. AS soon as the
man saw him he took to his hills. The
restaurant keeper thought possible il
was a case OF mistaken identity and he
said nothing to anybody until the next
day when he again went to the White
House and saw the same man lurking
there. There was no mistake. He
went to the chief of police, giving full
description of the man.
As a precautionary measure a mum.
ber of officers were detailed to guard
the White House and detectives are
looking out for the man who avows
himself to be the intended assassin. The
! police declare they don't believe there
is any danger but say precaution is
being taken to guard against possible
contingencies. The matter is being
kept very quiet.

COMING THE BULLION.
Prospect of an Increased Cir

Treasury Notes Against the Cost of
Bullion and Certificates Against
the Seignorage.
By the Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-In reply to in
quiries it is stated at the treasury de-
partments that the actual resumption
of coinage of silver dollars is not as yet
ordered, but the mints are directed to
manufacture ingots and blanks so as to
be prepared to resume coinage at short
notice in case it should be decided to do
80. ''The mints at New Orleans and
San francisco can, if worked to their
full capacity, with the force now at
those places, coin about two million
silver dollars a month";" said an Of
fetal of the treasury department today.
"There will not be any coinage of silver
dollars at the Philadelphia mint for
some time to come," he continued, las
all the efforts of the force there are con-
centrated in turning out gold coins"
The seignorage of silver will approx
mate $750,000 per month, the depart
ment having paid for silver purchased
under the Sherman act at an average
rate of 9215 cents per ounce. In view
of the expected coinage of silver dol
lars the question already is asked
whether the treasury department can
issue treasury notes against the seign-
orage which, if the whole amount OF
bullion were coined, would amount to
about fifty million dollars. The official
of the department to whom the question
was put, replied that such notes could
not be issued against seignorage and in
support of the assertion he quoted the
following clause from the Sherman law
"But no greater or lesser amount OF
such (treasury> notes shall be outstand-
ing at any time than the cost of the sill
yer bullion and the standard silver

By quick work the yawl kept
from overturning, but the sea

were, nine had gone down for the last
