Tho Eall In Silver.

On the sth silver bullion in New
York fell to 63i cents per ounce. This
is the lowest price since July last.
\ dispatch from London on the
same day said;
The silver market seems to be com
pletcly demoralized, and the price of
bar silver took another drop to day Of
I 16 to 29Id per ounce. The tone of
the market is fiat There was another
fall to-day in the value of rupee pa
per, the price declining Z to 135d
The London .Standord, in its finan-
cial article commenting on the silver
crisis, sIys The Indian government
must at once reopen the mints. Halt
ing between two coures may imperil
the credit to such an extent that both
trade and government may be paral-
yzed
The Bank of Bengal has raised its
rate of discount from 8 to . per cent.
and the Bank of Bombay has raised
its rate of discount from Z to 8 per
cent. Both banks take this action on
account Of the silver crisis.
A dispatch to the Timcs from Cal
cutta says: The condition OF the money
market is rapidly approaching a state
of panic. Government securities have
fallen below par and several failures in
business are imminent. 1t is urged
here that the stringency in the money
market, which David Balfour looked
to as necessity to raise the value of
the rupee, is at last reached, and that
the secretary of state should continue
to maintain the credit at almost any
value.
But his action in abandoning the
minimum utterly destroyed al. conf
dencc, and unless he can show that
he appreciates the fact that he now
controls the situation, the feeling Of
distrust will spread.

Elk GettinE Tame.

1t is estimated that at least 10, 600
elk have come out from the mountains
and foothills on to the plains, between
Fort Washable and the head of
the Wind river, in Wyoming, to
escape the deep SHOWS These ami
mails are unusually tame and take little
trouble TO avoid the cowboys, who are
about the only persons to visit that
section at this season of the year. The
Arapahoe and Shoshone Indians are
very anxious to get permits from the
Indian agent, Captain Ray, to slaugh-
ter these animals, but SO far they have
been unsuccessful.

Judges Hallctt and Riner, sitting in
the United States Court at Denver on
the sth, refused to grant the petition
of the receivers Of the Union Pacific
railway for an order permitting them
to put in force new schedule of wages
and new rules and regulations to gov
crn the employees of the big system.
Judge Dundy, sitting in Omaha for
the state of Nebraska, had granted
such petition, and had issued an or
der for the promulgation of the new
schedule. The receivers thereupon
asked for like order in Wyoming and
Colorado. Judge Riner of Cheyenne,
sat with Judge Ilallctt to settle at
once the matter for both states.
In the brief decision handed down
the judges recognize the necessity Of
a schedule being adopted by the re-
ccivers to secure the proper and eco
nomical manage mcnt Of the system.
But it is held that the receivers should
have conferred with the employees, aud
should have used every effort to come
to an amicaple understanding before
taking the matter into court. The re-
ceivers are ordered to do this, and il
then no agreement can be reached, the
petition for an order for the new sched
ule may be presented TO the court for
a settlement of the controversy.

grown to GOO men and forty or fifty
women.
The column had been preceded to Coun-

could not grant a request for a train
unless the presidents OF all the others
agreed.
General Kelley then left the car and
called on other friends for advice. Mean

trains into and from Council Bluffs and
ran all their rolling stock out OF town.
