COMING SILVER NOW.

Washington, Nov. 3-Important ac-
ton was taken by the treasury de-
partment today in regard to silver
Orders were sent to the superintend-
ents Of the United States minis at San
Francisco and New Orleans to resume
the coinage, suspended some months
ago, of standard silver dollars.
This action is taken under authority
Of section 3 of the Sherman law Of
1890, which is as follows:
THAT the secretary of the treasury
shall each month coin 100000 ounces
of the silver bullion purchased under
the provisions of this act into standard
silver dollars, until the first day OF
July, 1891, and after that time he shall
coin of the silver bullion purchased
under the provisions Of this act as
much as may be necessary to provide
for the redemption of the treasury
notes herein provided for, and any
gain or seigniorage arising from such
coinage shall be accounted for and
paid into the treasury
1t is for the purpose of utilizing the
seigniorage that the coinage of stand
ard silver dollars is resumed. The ex-
pectation is that about 81, 100000 stand
ard silver dollars can be coined at
once, which will give the United States
treasury a seigniorage of about $780,
000-in other words, the seigniorage
bears the proportion of one-third the
amount of the silver coined.
iS inf Of tba f,,aa c11,.v
partment, as the other minis become
clear of gold coinage, to have them
also coin silver and thus increase the
coinage from 100000 to 100000 of
dollars per month.
The seigniorage is so much clear gain
to the United States treasury, and if it
could all be placed to the credit of the
government at once it would increase
the balance by $53.OO0,0O0. The
amount of silver subject to coinage is
lao, 100000 ounces
The administration has for several
days past been considering the ques-
ton as to whether it could use all the
at once-thus making avail
able S53,0OO,OOO, but as far as can be
learned no conclusion has been reached.
No doubt exists as to the use Of the
as fast as the standard sill
yer dollars are coined.
The silver bullion to thus be con-
verted into standard silver dollars IN
der the Sherman act of 1890, and upon |
which the coin notes are issued.
The coinage Of silver. however, will |
not contract the currency, but will in |
crease money in circulation to the ex-
tent of the seigniorage, and, without |
further legislation, is the only means of |
increasing the per capita circulation to
keep pace with the increase in popula-
ton.

WITH THE TRADERS.
Shorts Save the Wheat Market-WaI
Street Shares Slashad

Shorts Save the Wheat Market-Wall
Street Shares Slashed.
Chicago, Nov. 2-Shorts have
many times before saved a
market from utter wreck and
they have to be credited with doing so
today. The wheat market was picked
up when apparently going to pieces
and the advance which followed was
certainly not the result of anything
of a distinctly bullish character which
could not as well have been said of
it any time for the last six months
the price is very low. Corn improved
on light receipts and closed 14c higher
than on Monday. Provisions were ex-
tremely dull, but prices were higher.
New York, Nov. "A heavy selling
toward the close weakened
pretty much the entire list on Wall
street. Wormser sold Chicago, Burl-
lngton and Quincy in all directions,
while Hamilton and Flower hammered
st Paul, both of which stocks showed
marked reflections. Chicago Gas show
ed a good advance and was a prime
favorite throughout the session. The
close was generally heavy and slow.

ANARCHIST MANIFESTO.

Eau Claire, Wis, Nov. 2-CharleS
ceiyed copy Of the manifesto adopted
at the secret meeting of reds held in
Chicago, Sept. 80. The manifesto de-
nounces the police and militia and
claims that government has failed in
all its objects and that the courts are
engines of oppression.
It then goes on to state that "all
government of man by man must
cease and that men must ''be left
free to work out their own destiny
without interference" All sources and
means of producing wealth should be
open to everyone and every political
privilege should be abolished; and this
would bring about condition of gen.
eral prosperity, under which wealth
would naturally distribute itself with
practical equity.
Anarchy would promote order based
on justice and equality of rights. The
only title to wealth should be labor,
which is the law of life. The manifesto
goes ON to say that the anarchists in
sist upon the adjustment of taxes,
rents, interest, dividends, and the ex-
ploitation of labor; that occupancy and
use of land shall be the only title to
it; that no man shall reap profits with
out labor and that all laws that in any
way discriminate against any person
whatever ON account Of sex, condition,
race or color, must be done away with.

PRENDERGAST NOT INSANE.
Collier Makes Il Strong Argument on
the Prisoners Responsibility.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-IAwycr Frank Col
liGr does not think that prcndergaSt is
insane He says that there is too
much method in his madness to war
rant the belief that he is so irrcSpon-
sble as not to be able to judge between
right and wrong. Mr.. Collier has
made a special study of the insane
law.
"Thc case is parallel TO that Of
Guiteau, who aSSasSinated President
Garfield" said Mr.. Collier yesterday.
Il Judge solely from the facts Of the
case as printed i'll the Chicago papers
A man may be insane Oh one subject
and be perfectly sane on all others
He is perfectly able to distinguish
right from wrong. A man who,
though insane on one subject, a mono
maniac, commits Il crime wholly for
eign to his mOnOmania is perfectly
responsible under the law for that
crime. A man does not become ire
Sponsible because Of the mere fact that
he is insane. He may be sane rs t"
the crime he commits. The true test
of criminal responsibility as to whether
q man is insane or not is to discover
whether or not the accused has suffi-
cient use of his reason to understand
the nature of the act with which he is
charged and to understand if it was
wrong for him to commit it. If this
is q fact he is criminally responsible
IF man labors under delusion
that some one is going to kill him, and
under this influence, he kills that man,
he is exempt from punishment. If it
is his delusion that the deceased had
inflicted serious injury to his character
or fortune, and he kills him in revenge
for such supposed injury, he is liable
to punishment. This is the way the
law looks ut the subject Of insanity.
Il think that the murderer Of Mayor
Harrison realized the enormity of his
that it was the safest thing for him
to give himself up. He had sense
enough not to talk until he had seen
his lawyer. If he had an insane illu-
sion that he was justified he would
not have given himself up. He knew
tight from wrong and also knew his
tights. He was shrewd He had an
insane idea that the mayor had done
him an injury and took his revenge. 1
should consider him perfectly respon-
sible under the law and not exempt
rom punishment for his crime"

Vienna, Nov. 3.-Therc was fierce
i'll this city tonight caused by
an attempt Of socialists 10 invade a
hall where Il meeting of liberals was
being held for the purpose Of passing Il
vote of want of confidence i'll Dr. kron-
aWetter, representative from Vienna in
the reichsratn
The meeting was originally fixed for
Friday last, but was prevented by the
action Of the radicals, they refusing to
allow the liberals to proceed. Further
interference was anticipated tonight
and 4 strong force Of police was on

By $50 o'clock the street leading TO
the hall was thronged with clamorous
mobs of socialists and Workmen, in
tent upon mischief. They shouted
down with the liberals" Down with
the coWardly enemies of the people
and sang the labor song, He'll Arbeit.'
The mob finally made a charge upon
the police. The police were badly hand
led and the commanding inspector was
knocked down and trampled upon. The
men, in trying to rescue him, welded
saDres right and left with great fierce
ness.
The scene for Il time was Il fearful
one. Both sides fought sayagely and rs
Il result many bloody heads were among
the mob While the police We're bruised
and beaten and their uniforms torn.
The fight caused Il panic among the
people in the vicinity and houses and
shops were closed.
The police telephoned for reinforce
ments, which soon arrived. The moi
| was then driven out of the street and
at last dispersed, but later gathered i'll
different parts of the city and listened
| to violent speeches.
| At 8 O'clock great eXcitcmtn cOntin
| ued and police, in strong force, were
| engaged in breaking up different gath
eringS. Three rioters were arrested
| including the man who led the attack
At 1880 p. III. the streets were quiet.
| The socialists afterwards made {
| demonstration i'll front of the palace OF
Arch Duke Wilhelm, shouting Ions
live the republic" The police made {
number of furious charges before they
succeeded in scattering the mob. Many
rioters were wounded.

MISS HOWARD'S LIFE.
Delicate in Her Youth and Educated 1T
Home.

New Orleans, Nov Miss Annie
Howard, who was to have become the
wife Of Carter H. Harrison on Nov.
1G, is the youngest Of the four child
rem of the late Charles Howard Of
New Orleans, and his only daughter.
Mr.. Howard YVES Il Baltimorean, but
went to Louisiana in 1852. and later
served with distinction in the Confed-
crate army. 1t was during the last
wears Of the war that Miss Howard was
born at Biloxi. During 4 large part OF
her youth she was an invalid and much
Of her early life was spent at her
fathers home on the Hudson i'll New
York. Her frail health prevented her
attendance at any Of the colleges, but
She had every educational advantage
at her northern home. This was re-
enforced by travelling. Miss Howard
has been to Europe half Il dozen times,
has travelled several times entirely
over the United States, and has re-
sided for whole seasons in representa-
tive cities in it.
Mr.. Howard usually lived with his
daughter at his New York home, and
Mrs. Howard resided in New Orleans
with the boys. 1t was while trying to
break in Il horse for his daughter to
killed in 1887. Since that time Miss
Howard has passed most of her time
in the north, seldom spending more than
4 month or two in New Orleans. How
ever, she has Il large circle of friends
i'll this city, has occasionally entertain
ed on an elaborate scale, has given
Il great deal to local charities, joined
with her brothers and mother in erect
ing magnificent library for the city
making ii Il repository of archives and
articles on the history Of Louisiana
There is hardly New Orleans charity
to which she has Tot literally contrib
uted
by the death Of her father six years
ago Miss Howard inherited 100000
This has been judiciously invested anC
has doubtless increased notwthstand
ing the large inroads she has made OF
it in charitable and public work. Hel
mother, her brothers, Frank T. and
Harry T., and their families reside il
New Orleans, where they are wei
known in society us patrons Of music
