AMERICAN SILVER PRODUCERS.
Conference to fix Prices of Silver in
New York instead of London.

Conference to fix Prices of Silver in
New York instead of London.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Daniel
Guggenheim, president Of the Gug-
genheimer Silver Smelling and
Refining company, has returned
to New York from Denver. Mr..
Guggenheim has been attending a
conference in which all the large
smelling interests of the United
States were represented. 1t is one of
thefirst conferences of the kind ever
held in this country, and the re-
suits hoped to be achieved by it
will very likely have very marked
effect upon the silver markets Of
the world.
ave met simply for the purpose
Of investigating the practicability
and advisability OF the silver smell
ters and refineries disposlng Of
their product through central
committee in New York." said Mr..
Guggenheim, "for the price of our
silver, despite the fact that we con-
troll the worlds market for this
commodity, is made in London.
"The committee appointed to in
vestigate the advisability Of ar
ranging all sales through the GEN.
trail committee in New York, con.
sists Of Guy G. Barton, A. r. Myer
and myself. Our object in bring
ing about the sale of silver in this
manner, is to eliminate the specu-
lation in silver which is now car
ried on by the brokers dealing in
this commodity. In this way we
hope to keep the price staple and
to be able at all times to tell just
where we stand.
"Another thing we hope to do is
to market our own product. The
big buyers of silver now are India,
China and Japan. They buy our
silver through London. There is
no good reason why this should
be so. We should sell to them di'
rect"
What effect will the action Of
this conference have on the silver
market?
"When the business becomes
thoroughly adjusted to the new
conditions, 1 believe there will be
a slight advance in the price Of sill
yer. There will be no boom oil
sudden jump. 1t will simply be &
gradual increase, such as the in
telligent member of any business
is likely to call forth"

Miss Ellen Beach Yaw.

A great deal of interest is being
manifested in the appearance of
Miss Ellen Beach Yaw at the con-
cert to be given by the San
Antonio Quartet Club on Wednes-
day night, Nov. 81. The fact that
the members OF the club have
sold most of the tickets given
them is sufficient evidence that
large attendance will greet Miss
Yaw in this, her first appearance
in San Antonio. Miss Yaw has
certainly captivated her audiences
wherever she has appeared, and
the criticisms are phenomenally
alike in pronouncing hers not only
one Of the greatest ranged voices
in the world, but one Of the sweet
est in tone and quality.

DESERTER OR DEAD BEAT.
THE INTERESTING TALE OF HUGH
ANNANDALE, THE DESERTER.
A Narrative of Personal Expert
ences that Would Work Well
Into a Drama.

New YORK, Nov. 2O.-Hugh An
Mandate, whose alleged case OF mis-
taken identity has for the last six
months puzzled the authorities OF
Great Britain and the United
States, tonight reached New York.
He says that he is en- route fer
Washington where he intends to
secure justice from the authorities
because OF their mistake. Amman.
dale claims that he was born in
Canada, but that he has resided in
the United States since he was
IL years Of age; asserts that while
en- route to Philadelphia, hoping to
secure work in the Cramp ship yard
he became i'll with typhoid fever
and that he was taken to
the Philadelphia hospital. At
the same time, occupying a
cot near by, was one Peter Ohnet,
of England. This man Ohnet had
fled from England under a charge
of embezzlement and was wanted
by the authorities of that country.
Annandale, after leaving the hos
pital and finding no means Of max
ing a living, decided to use Ohnets
history to obtain for himself free
passage to Europe. He, himself, it
| is learned, caused to be reported to
the immigration commissioner the
! fact that a pauper immigrant
charged with embezzlement and
named Peter Ohnet was In this
country, and that he was that per.
son. He says he was greatly sur
prised on his arrival at Baltimore
! to be turned over to the police on a
charge, the nature Of which he aid
not understand, without being
given an opportunity Of defending
himself. He was, he declares,
brought to Ellis Island under the
name of Peter Ohnet, and after be-
ing detained there he became i'll
and was for some time an inmate
of charity hospital. He said yes
terday that he left Liverpool on
July 3 last, on the Beaver line
steamer, Lake Ontario, for Mon
treal. He purchased ticket for
80 shillings, begging part Of it. He
had obtained the rest through SYM
pathy, through the narration OF
his story. Finding himself in Can
ada with neither money or friends
he made his way to st. Johns,
where he enlisted in the:Fhird COM
pany of the Royal Canadians. His
sole aim, he declares, was to get
back to this country, for the pur.
pose of obtaining justice for the in
juries he had received, and he
lawaited such time as a favorable
opportunity might give him to
desert from the regiment and re-
enter the United States. Accord
ing to his story, such an opportuni'
ty occurred week ago yesterday
and he walked to Rouse's point,
where he sold his overcoat, cap and
broadsword to John Sheldon of the
Delaware hotel. A small dog be-
longing to the company had so)'
lowed him, and the dog he sold fol
81. He then paid his fare to Platts
burg, n. Y, where he remained
one day. From there he rode in the
caboose of a freight train, by the
kindness of a conductor, to White
hall. His money gave out at this
time, and he beat his way by freight
train to Troy. He then walked to
Albany, and exchanged his red coat
for a cheap jacket at second hand
store. He worked his way down
the North river on the steamer
Drew.

LAKEWOOD, n. j., Nov. 20.--Rev.
DR.. Parkhurst has changed his

now the guest Of Mr.. Francis p.
Freeman at Edgemoore. He occG-
pies the rooms occupied by the
Clevelands when they were being

Parkhurst said last night that he
had read Mr.. Platt's statement.
"Mr. Platt waits till victory has

WHERE IS PILZELp
That Insurance swIndle is as Much
Mixed as Ever.


Mixed as Ever.
BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 2O.-Mrs.
Carrie Pilzel, it is claimed, has
made a full confession OF the al
legged insurance swindle. 1t is
stated that she has implicated
Holmes, at whose suggestion it is
claimed she went to Burlington
VT. She stated that Holmes sub
stituted the alleged bogus body
for that of her husband and col
lected the insurance, but she was
kept in ignorance of the wer ca
bouts of her husband who disap-
peared at once. Since the affair
she has been moving about from
place to place, prompted by
Holmes in search of her husband Z,
and it was thought the hope she
would be sent to him that she
answered the telegram Of the de-
tectives. How she fears that the
body for which the insurance was
paid was not bogus one, but
that of her husband. Mrs. Pilzel
also fears that her daughter
Alice, who was the only one be-
sides Holmes to identify the body,
has been spirited away, as she has
completely disappeared and Hol-
mes is the last known to have
seen her. Holmes asserts that he
left Alice and the two other Pitzel
children at their fathers home in
Detroit. a month ago, aud since
then he has heard nothing from
them. HoImes states today that
when he came to Boston on Tues
day last he intended to take pas
sage for Berlin but changed his
mind aud before he could perfect
other plans the detectives had
him.
