OLD QUESTIONS REANswERED.

Dell Rapids. S. d.. June 1s.--To the Ed.
itor: In recent issue of the Pioneer Press
I notice an article on "silver in France
written in answer to an inquiry from one
D. L.. Wellman. in which you correctly
state that France does not have FREQ coin
age OF silver. but give figures showing that
the total per capita circulation in that
country is S40.56. while in the United
States it is only $24.34. II is. therefore,
seen that France has nearly double the
amount of money that the United States
has i'll proportion to the population, and
the question arises, has this country a
large enough per capita circulation to do
the business Of the country without injury
to the interests of the poor man from an
appreciation of the value of a dollar and
n corresponding depreciation in the value
of the products OF labor? If the volume
of currency in this country is not large
enough. now, assuming that free coinage
of silver would not he advisable nor bene-
fetal. can the circulation be increased to
equal that OF France and meet the de.
MAIDS of the country?
w. G. INSECT.
The questions in above communication
have been answered a great many times
in the editorial columns of the Pioneer
Press, but we are willing to answer them
many times more if it will help the
foundation of sound financial ideas. Our
correspondent and all Other people should
get out of their heads as quickly as pos
sible the notion that there is any fixed
proper relation between population and
money volume. The "per capita" delu-
sion is as foolish as it would be to say that
we need at least one man-of-war in our
navy for every square mile of territory.
The amount of money needed varies with
the amount and kind of bushes done.
The per capita circulation of Great Britain
is very much less than that of the United
States, being only $18.42. We have, there
fore, 80 per cent more money in proper
ton to populations; but no SAFE man
thinks that the United Kingdom suffers
from a money famine. 1t has been ex
planned many times that the habits of the
French people require for them u larger

beatings and chopping off fingers and arms
by saber strokes. while cannibalism, under
the stress Of famine. has been of common
occurrence. Murder, followed by canni-
balisms has been frequent, with the sole
object of ending the miserable existence
of the men in the prison.
During 1892 there was an almost contin-
uous string of convicts carrying the
corpses of other convicts from Ouor to
Rkovskay. and in nearly every case the
bodies were so mutiated that they pre-
sented a pitiful spectacle. The bodies
we're inferred without the slightest in-
quiry as to how the wounds were inflicted.
No doctor ever visited the prison at Onor.
and the convicts who failed to perform
work on account of sickness were placed
on half diet, and when it became apparent
that they would be unable to perform fur
ther duty they were dispatched with re-
volyer by the inspector. and registered on
the prison books as having died from dis
ease.
The principal author of the atrocities, it
IS asserted. is a former convict named
Shakoff, who was favorite of the district
commandant, and was promoted 10 inspec-
tor.

Great Damage Before 1t Is

OMAHA. Feb. 9-Snow began falling at
3 o'clock this morning and is still coming
down. 1t is about eight inches deep on
the level Streetcar traffic is blockaded
and trains delayed.
Reports from the blizzard up to 10 P. NJ.
are very meager. but sufficient to indicate
that the storm is general.
Snow fell to a depth of ten inches. 1t Is
very wet and so little wind accompanied
the storm that no bad drifts formed 1t is
growing colder tonight and high wind
is coming up. Stock on the ranges will
suffer, as the days snow will cover the
forage beyond their reach.
GRAND FORKS, n. D., Feb. 9.-The
worst blizzard of the winter is raging.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. "a windstorm almost
amounting to a cyclone prevailed here this
afternoon. doing much damage to tele-
graph wires and small buildings.
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Feb. "a hurri-
cane to-day did considerable damage to the
roofs of buildings and several cars were
blown from the track.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 9.-Dispatches from
points in Kansas state that blizzard be-
gan this morning. The storm is quite
general throughout the State, accompan led
with wind. The mercury is steadily fall
ing, and it is not unlikely the cold will
prove serious.

LIMERICK, Feb. 9.-J. Copeland, a sa-
loon passenger on board the Allen line
steamship Corean. which recently put into
Kirush in a disabled condition, and who
is said to be the only passenger who has
been allowed ashore up to the present
time, in an interview complains of Cap
tain Ma1n's refusal to allow the passen-
gers to land. The passengers, Copeland
said, protested, but the only reply they got
was that they were on board for the voy-
age and not for their leisure. The steer
age passengers came into the saloon in
order TO obtain signatures for a board of
trade survey and claiming damages. but
were ordered out before they could obtain
the signatures desired.
Describing the voyage from the CIyde
Copeland said the sea was extremelv
rough and leak was discovered on the
Corean when she was about 800 miles ont.
Eventually there was five feet of water
in the eDgine-room aud ten feet in the
stOker0om. and the passengers and crew
had the greatest difficulty in keeping the
water down. The passengers worked for
over twenty hours day for three days.

complained that the passengers did more

the company liable for the loss and deIav

Still the Union Pacific Receivers
Show Fight.
In the Meantime the Northern Pacific
Men Have Gained Nearly All
They Asked.

OMAHA. Nebr., Feb. 9.-While they
were pretty hard hit over the decision of
Judges Hallett and Riner yesterday at
Denver, Union Pacific officials to-day de-
ciared tnat Judge Haiett's order was
buncombe and asserted that the Circuit
Court would take some of the wind out of
his sails. Judge ThurSton this afternoon
filed another petition reciting the conflict
ing character of the orders entered in the
Union Pacific and Gulf case and praying
further direction, aud also presented mo-
tiOn for a rehearing.
AS to the denial of the petition for new
wage schedule, Judge Thurston will pur-
sue the same course as in the Gulf case,
asking the Circuit Judges, through the
Government counsel, to take up the Ques-
ton, in order that the property may be
operated upon the economical basis
mapped out by the receivers. The re-
ceivers, who are in New York, will be
Joined by President Clark tomorrow at
called meeting at ;'6 Wall street, where all
these questions ana others of vital impor-
tance to the system will undoubtedly be
gone over.
MILWAUKEE. Feb 9.-The receivers OF
the Northern Pacific and the representa-
tives of the employees of the road have
reached an agreement. The receivers
will modify the order reducing wages and
concede most of the points made by the
men. The exact terms cf the agreement
are not TO be made pu bile until passed upon
by Judge Jenkins.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9-The House Ju-
dietary Committee has referred back to

for the relief of the Kearsarge's crew,
Lieutenant Brainerd came TO Colon in the
small schooner Sea Spray, which he char
tered at Old Providence.
The City of Para sailed at noon to-day
for Roncador reaf and Old Providence
and will bring all hands to Colon. They
will probably arrive in New York on Feb

Lieutenant Brainerd is warm in praise
of Colonel Riyes and Consul Pearcy, who
aided MIN in getting relief for his ship
mates. The cable office at Colon kept open
all night to aid the work.
The only serious reason to fear for the
safety of the Kearsarge's crew is the lack
of fresh water on the reef. 1t is believed.
however, that supply can be obtained
from tie ship or that sufficient amount
can be distilled from sea water.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-A Panama spec

from Colon tonight state that great ex-

wrecked Kearsarge Oh Roncador Reef.
The lieutenant says it was impossible to
procure a supply OF fresh water from the
wreck. owing to the loss of the small boats.
that were shattered and rendered useless
at the time they were employed to con-
vey the ships company from the wreck to
the shore.
The loss of the small boats not only pre-.
cluded the possibility of reaching the
wreck. but makes the officers and crew
prisoners on a ledge of coral only seven
feet aboye the level of the sea.
With q knowledge that a high wind
would send the sea over the key, and that
the ships company could not even take ia
the open sea in the splintered boats,
Lieutenant Brainerd became frantic
when be found he could not tly
procure the use of the steamship City OF
Para at Colon to proceed to the rescue.
He was told by the agent of the Panama
Railroad that his request could not be
complied with, because the charter with
Pacific Mail Steamship Company specified
that the vessel should ply only between
New York and Colon.
1t was then found necessary to submit
the question to the officers of the company
in New York, but no reply has yet been
Eaeeived. Their business was to make
money. not to rescue perishing sailors.
Lieutenant Braiuerd explained that il
it had not been that the small boats were
shattered some of castaways could have
reached Old Providence.
The wreck of the Kearsarge lies half a
mile from the islet on which he left his
companions camped. but the hulk nigh,
as well be 100 miles away. so far as those
on shore are concerned.
1t is hoped that the City of Para will be
dispatched to the rescue tomorrow. She
