TO CONTROL SILVER.
The Real Objecls of the Denva'
Meeting.

Rumors from Denver saying that a
syndicate had been formed to control
the entire silver output of this coun-
try and Mexico, and possibly that of
the world, have attracted widespread
attention in financial circles.
Daniel Gugenheim. a leading smell
ter and reiner, who attended the
Denver meeting, said. The object
of the meeting was to ascertain the
feasibility CT practicability of selling
the product through q committee, to
be appointed, with headquarters in
New York City, instead of each man
or firm selling its own product, as at
present. A committee was also
formed to get as much intelligent in
formation as possible regarding the
demand and supply OF silver in the
world"
This, Mr.. Gugenheim said, was the
whole object of the meeting of the
committee, of which he was one. He
will report at future meeting. He
characterized as ridiculous the ru-
mors that outside capitalists or cap,
i,al had been taken into project to
buy up the silver mines of this coun-
try and Mexico, or in any other way
alter the existing relations between
the refiners and smelters and mine
owners and operators.
The object was to prevent in a
measure at least, the present fiuctu
alton in the price of silver by estab
fishing one silver market in this
country. 1t is to be ip New York
City and conducted by the refiners
and smelters committee.
Then European purchasers will be
unable to cable Offering one price for
silver to one man and different one
to another.
The committee in New York will
control above seven-tenths of the
silver output of the world. This is
about $40, 600, 900 ounces, and the to-
tai output is from one hundred to
one hundred and fifteen million ounc.

THE Fifty-fourth Congress will
have lively time investigating con
tested cases. There will be 26 con-
tested seats, nearly all from the
South and West. As the Republi-
cans will have an overwhelming ma
iority in the House there will be no
occasion for hurry on their part, and
many of the cases will probably not
be decided much before the close of
the session, as those who hold cert.
fcates of election will take their seats
when Congress conyenes.

The Transmississippi Commercial


The Transmississippi Commercial
Congress met at ST. Louis last MOn-
day. Twenty-Five States and Terri
tories-that is, ali of the States and
Territories west of the Mississippi,
are represented The Governor OF
Nevada has appointed several repre-
sentatives from this State, but SO far
as known, Congressman Newlands
and B. T. Leete are the only persons
appointed who will attend the Con
gress.
A dispatch from st. Louis says
The Congress will discuss all ques-
.tions which may affect the people OF
the territory lying west OF the Mis-
sissippi, and which may be the suo-
ject of legislation by the Congress Of
the United States. Among these
questions are the reconciliation Of
silver, irrigation of arid lands, the
dispositian of indian reservations
and public lands, the improvement
OF Western rivers and harbors, the
Nicaragua canal, Anti-option legisla-
ton, mining laws and the admission
of Territories to Statehood To these
subjects will probably be added the
ownership by the Government OF
subsidized railroads, as that is mat
ter which interests the people west
of the Missouri and one upon which
the Congress of the United States is
likely to legislate.

The Writer of Letter to the Morning
News Says He is the Desperate.
The MORNING News received letter
last night postmarked Savannah which
purports to have been written by the
slayer of Policeman Neve.
The writer swears he is Abe Smalls,
and says on reading one of the papers a
day or two ago he learned that a man
supposed to be Smalls was shot and
killed By a policeman. He thanks the
good Lord that the oiicer was mistaken,
and says he was coward to stand behind
a tree and shoot at anybody without
knowing what he was doing. He says he
Is located 'in the vercinity of Chatham
county, and will stay here until i get
good and ready to go, and when / go
will 20 on the train
He says he is not hungry, is sleeping in
doors, and has $432 and a good Winches-
ter. If necessary, he adds, he can find a
pistol. He then goes on to say; 81 have
friend in the City would to see, but it
is not so handy to see her because IL
come THAR may be compel TO kill one of
those Brave and Cool headed oTercers
THAR though was in one night. it is not
very far and / can walk it in three
hours"
Smalls, as he claims to be, says he took
the desperate chances of writing this let
ter TO the MORNING News himself He
says he has few friends in the city, but
none of them have nerve enough to join
him, and that he has been getting the
paper every day. Smalls says it made
his blood cuddle in his vains' to read
about the shooting of the boy who was
running down the lane week or
two ago He says he has a
gruGge against one OF the Savannah
officers and if he could get few men
n ofaOd btrh i'm, ba t1ypy116 olz IN
lively for some Of the braves. He says
he does not intend to be taken alive and
that if any one catches him they will
have to fight. He says he hopes his
writing can be made out as it took him
three days to write the letter. He says
he will write another note before he leaves
Chatham. He says he used to run
store here, and some said he stole every
thing he had in it, All who made this
statement Smalls says are liars, and he
will make things lively for the policemen
and great detectives" yet. He says
he don't care when he dies,
just so he is not taken alive
and that he is game enough to die with
his shoes on. The writer concludes by
solemnly swearing that he is Abraham r.
Smalls, that he will be in Savannah again
and that if'anybody wants himrthey must
remember that he will sell his life ''as
dear as diamonds"
The detective who wrote Chief Green
from Pensacola some time ago saying
that he had Smalls located there and ask
ing for full description of Smalls and par
ticulars of the crime, has again written,
saying that he has Smalls there and that
he is sure he has the right man. A letter
was received by Solicitor General Fraser
this week, conveying this information
The matter is being investigated.
The Savannah detectives are positive
that the man in Pensacola is not Smalls
and that Smalls is nowhere in that neigh
borhood.

WANTED HIS WIFE.
Young Griffin Swears Out Warrant
But She Refuses to Leave Her
M0tber

Young Griffin swears Out a Warrant
But She Refuses to Leave Her
Mother.
A warrant was sworn out yesterday at
the court of Justice Samuel Reynolds
charging c. W. Mock with falsely and il
legally OBTAINING Mrs. G. O. Griffin at his
house on jefferson street.
Mrs Griffin was married to G. o. Grit
I'm, young man 90 years Of age, who is
connected with the firm of A. s. Bacon Il
Sons, at Ridgeland. S. c., a week ago. 1t
seems that there were some maternal OBJ
iections to the alliance, and the young
people decided to take the matter into
their own hands, which they did by
crossing the state line and having the
ceremony performed in South Carolina
They returned just after being married,
and for a day or two each went their
way The bride, who is a girl of only
fourteen years, either went, or was
taken to the house Of her brother-iR-law,
c. w. Mock, where Grifiu alleges she
was forcibly detained, and claims she
was i'll treated
Griffin called at the Office of Mr. Paul
L. Seabreok yesterday morning and
stated the case to him. He said his wife
was forcibly detained at Mock's house,
that he had talked to her at the window,
but, that ne could not get to her, and
that he bad several times demanded that
he be allowed to sec her but was refused.
On this statement Of the case a warrant
was sworn out at Justice Reynolds charg-
ing Mock with forcibly OBTAINING Mrs.
Griffin and another warrant authorizing
a search Of the house for the girl. The
warrants were served and the girl, in
company with her mother, shortly after
ward appeared at the court.
At the court il seems matters took a
different turn, and the girl stated to Mr..
Seabrook that she had been led into the
marriage, that she didn't want to see
Griffin. and didn't want to live with him.
She finally wound up by stating that she
believed she would like to see him, and he
went into the room where she and her
mother were.
There tho young Mrs Griffin told her
husband that she did love him, but that
she didn't want to distress her mother
any more and she could not live with him.
While it seems that Griffin has acted hon
orably throughout the matter, the mother
of the young girl was much opposed to
the match on account of some objection,
and she urged he daughter rot to go with
him. Both the young husband and wife
were affected by the situation of affairs,
and both were in tears before the inter
view terminated.
Griffin stated that all he had done was
honorable, and if he had done anything
wrong he said he was willing to make
amends. There was little doubt about
the marriage as the marriage certificate
was produced in court. On the under
standing of the case which was reached
it was decided that it was rather a
matter for the parties to settle between
themselves than one for the
courts to handle and the war
rants were dismissed IL is believed
by those interested in the case that an
amicable settlement will be reached.

NOBODY FIGHTING FOR IT.
Alderman Dixon's Mantle Not
Eagerly Sought After Yet.

Alderman Dixon's Mantle Not
Eagerly Sought After Yet.
There appears to be no great wish Of
aspiring candidates for aldermanic hon
ors to fill the vacancy caused by Alder
man Dixon's resignation. Only a few
names are mentioned and no special effort
is being made in the behalf of any of
them.
The members of council are not main
tanning any particular interest in filling
the vacancy at present and none of them
known.
The members of council have been iok-
ing ex- Alderman Cam by telling him
that they understand he is a candidate
for the vacancy and promising to cleo
him unanimously, There is no doubt
that If Mr. Cam would intimate his will
ingness to accept that the Joke would be
turned into earnest at once.
The names Of DR. NJ l.. BOYD and Mr..
George J. Baldwin have been mentioned
for the vacancy, but it is not thought that
either of them has any decided aspiration
for aldermanic honors. The honor may
fall to p. j. O'Conner, Esq, who has been
an active supporter of Mayor McDon-
oughs administration.
AS the alderman elected to fill the va
cancy will have nine months in which to
make record upon which to be a candi-
date for reelection next January, should
he be ambitious to continue as CITY
father there is no reason why some as
piring young politician should not seek
the office. 1t is good chance to get in
the game.

LEN DAVIS AGAIN IN JAIL.
Dr.. Norton CeTtifieS That RawlS is
Still Dangerously Ill.

The General Belief Has Been That
Rawls Was Out of DanRer-Davis'
Release on Bond the Result of Some
MISUNDERSTANDING - The Solicitor
General Agreed to the Release on
Bond if Rawls Was Out of Danger,
But DR.. Norton's Certificate Caused
His Rearrest.
Lem Davis, who shot W. W. Rawls
last week and who was released from
custody Thursday on $1,000 bond was
rearrested yesterday and sent back to
Jail on the order of the solicitor general.
Davis was rearrested on account of a
certificate with regard 10 Rawls' condi-
tion, which docs not seem very favorable.
The certificate is as follows;
This is to certify that Mr.. William Rawls,
who is in the Savannah hospital under my
treatment is still dangerously ill., and IS so
considered by the three consulting physicians,
Drs. Duncan. Elliott and W. E. Norton.
r. G. NORTON. @
It seems that Davis was released on the
understanding that Rawls was out of
danger and was on the rapid road to re-
covery. The receipt of the certificate by
the solicitor general, however, caused his
rearrest at once.
HOW DAVIS WAS RELEASED.
1t seems that there was some misunder-
standing about Davis release. A day or
two ago when it was determined that
Rawls was not as dangerously hurt as
was at first supposed, Hon. F. G. duBig-
non, who is Davis attorney, went to the
solicitor general and asked what bond
would be required for his clients
release. Mr. Fraser said that in
case Rawls was out of danger and
the physicians would so certify he could
be released under a bond for 81 600, which
is the usual bond in assault with intent
TO murder cases. On this understanding
Mr.. duBlgnon saw one of the physicians,
who told himthat Rawls was all right and
would probably recover within a short
time
Mr. duBignon then wrote a note to
Sheriff Roman, stating that Mr.. Fraser
had agreed that Davis be released on a
81 900 bond, which was given, and Davis
was given his liberty. The certificate
stating that Rawls was still dangerously
i'll. put the matter in a new light, and
caused Davis to be rearrested.
SURPRISE AT HIS ARREST.
Davis, of course, wanted to know why
he was arrested again. He was sur
prised when given the reason, as il had
been his understanding that Rawls was
entirely out Of danger. He thought there
was certificate to that effect from one
of the physicians, and his surprise was
still greater when he was told Of the GER
Jificate of DR.. Norton.
The general belief has been that Rawls
was entirely out of danger. and Davis re-
arrest will be somewhat of a surprise to
those who have taken an interest in the
case.

MUST HAVE A SPANISH SEAL.
A New Regulation in Clearances for
Spanish Ports.

Spanish Ports.
The Spanish government has notified
its consul here and at all United States
ports Of entry OF change in commercial
regulations which affects all citizens of
the United States trading with Spanish
ports.
BY agreement between the United
States and Spain, goods manufactured in
either one of those countries are admitted
Ito the other at less than prevailing ra tes
OF duty, provided they are accompanied
by a certificate showing that they are q
home manufacture. This certificate has
heretofore been furnished by the United
States customs officials on application of
the exporter or his agent.
The Spanish government now requires
that this certificate must be sworn to be-
fore notary public and attested before
the Spanish consul
The frequent changes in regulations re-
speeding the entrance and clearance of
vessels at all Spanish ports have for
some time been a source of great annoy
ance to exporters, ship owners, brokers
and ship masters. People who trade with
Cuba complain more loudly than those
who export goods to other Spanish ports.
The regulations respecting manifests, in
voices and other ship papers, have to be
duplicated and written in Spanish as well
as English. This entails loss of time and
necessitates the employment of transla-
tors. Even then clerical errors are over
looked. Heretofore a ship was allowed
forty-etght hours to prove her manifests.
Not long ago the time was reduced to
twentyfour hours, and later changes
compel a ship to have its papers ready
before 1t reaches port.
