Special Reports Needed.

The President has sent to the Senate a
response from the Secretary of State to
Senator Pettigrew's resolution Of the 9th
instant asking what II any, changes had
been made in the weight and fineness Of
silver coins in India, Russia and the Ar
gentine Republic during the past twenty
years. and whether during that time prices
of the chief products OF those countries, as
obtained in exchange for their legal ten
der. silver or paper money, had incres sed
or diminished. The Secretary says his de-
partment possesses but little Information Of
the nature required. Prices current in for
eign Countries ne adds, ARE always
transmitted to the Treasury Department
Immediately upon being received. The
commercial reports transmitted from time
to time by the consuls of the United States
abroad occasionally contain some Informal
ton such as is called for by the resolu-
ton, but such information is incomplete. md
by no means responsive 10 the resolution Of
the Senate The requirements OF the reso-
luton can, in my opinion. only be fully and
satisfactorily met by directing the dip

In the respective countries 20 prepare and
transmit report bearing especially on the

Was There Such Man as Shakespeare

To the Editor Of The Evening Star
Ignatius Donelly and scores of others
have proven, as they contend, that Shakes
peare did not write the works attributed to
him. and now comes w. Fl. Burr, who in
sists that Shakespeare could not write, and
gives samples of his handwriting to prove
it!
If that be any proof then, by the same
evidence,we can prove that Horace Greeley,
Rufus Choate and lots of other great men
could not write, and, therefore, were not
the authors of their respective writings;
for all who ever saw the handwriting Of
Greeley or Choate can testify that it was
fully as illegible as the samples of Shakes
peare's which these parties admit he did
write.
Now, / suggest that a simpler way to set
tie this whole matter is for these wise men
to get together and just resolve that there
never was any such man Shakespeare.
That would be just as reasonable and far
more conclusive. and would give the public
a rest. d. G. w.
