He met them in a lecture room OF one Z

THE DROP IN SILVER.
Comments In London on the sudden
Decline.

LONDON, Feb. Z.
The price of bar silver today reached the
lowest point ever known. 1t was quoted
this afternoon I'm the market here at ~ I3-
l6d per ounce. The market was fiat. The
price today was i-Sd lower than that of
yesterday.
There was also a further decline in the
price of rupee paper. Yesterday the market
closed at 80 H.. which was a decline of
IS on the day. Today the quotation was
oS. This is much the lowest price ever re-
corded.
Ihe Times, commenting on the extra
ordinary low price of silver, says that In
dian exchange now sympathizes with silver
TO some extent, but not wholly, for if the
minis of India had not been closed the
rupee would be worth about IL pence /
farthing. whereas it is actually worth
about | shilling, pence and | farthing
The Standard says: The fall that has
already occurred in the value of silver does
not promise to be the worst. 1t adds that
the question of reopening the minis in
India is being freely discussed
The Telegraph. in an article on the same
subject. declares that the fall in silver will
Eevl q the discussion in favor of bimetal-
lism, but it adds, England is not likely to
recede from the position she took at the
late Brussels monetary conference The
fact is, the paper further says the COLLAPSE
is due to overproduction. The lower price
is likely to check this. though some mines
1t is said are able to clear a profit with
silver at eighteen pence per ounce, or even
less.
The Daily News says: "A full trial has
just been given in the United States. under
the most favorable auspices, to attempt to
support the price of silver by artificial
means. The failure has been so absolute
that it is difficult to believe that other gov
ernmentS combina ton of governments
should seriously undertake the task"

Army Officers as High school LIN.
atrucfors.

The proposition to have officers OF the
army detailed as military instructors at
high schools in the principal cities is CT
for the present year at least. Although the
project was brought TO the attention of the
military authorities in the mildest sort Of
a way, it found many earnest advocates
in the War Department, and IL il had been
pressed more vigorously before all the de-
tails of this character had been made II
would undoubtedly have received more IA
vorable consideration at the hands of those
in authority. Its most formidable opponent
is Assistant Secretary Doe, who is OF opin-
ion that the results would by no means
justify the distraction of army officers from
more legitimate duties as commanders OF
troops. He does not agree with the theory
that the detail will sufficiently benefit the
young men to warrant taking officers from
their companies. He believes that there
are other equally good methods of estab-
fishing discipline among students The
Washington High School made no appiica-
ton for the detail of an army officer as in
structor Of military science and tactics and
is apparently satisfied with the present
system of instruction under Maj. Ross Of
the District militia.

argue that the question of the propriety Of
the ruling turned on what constituted he
House.
One of the most important matters that
could be submitted to vote of the House
that of passing a bill over the Presi-
dents veto. The Constitution required that
two-thrds of the House required to
carry bill over the veto. He cited an in
stance during the administration of Presl-
dent Pierce, when Mr.. Bell was Spea Eer
ON a motion to pass a bill over the Presi-
dents veto two-thirds of those present
voted in favor of the motion, but the Speak
er held that the Constitution required two
thirds of the House, and the House was
made up by its membership, not members
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bailey's speech,
