Second Day.

cSSoHtu n
Mr.. Horr: ''The matter we were talking
about when we closed last night was the
question whether the trainers of the bin
of 1892 intended to establish two measures
OF value. Mr.. Harvey criticised Judge Vim
cent for having decided that case in his re-
marks yesterday, but very tamely In COM
parison with the statements which he made
about him in print soon after he made the
decision. He even called him dishonest In
that criticism. Now, Judge Vincent is n
reputable citizen, l take Ii, OF Chicago.
Some private individuals submitted a ques-
1tlon TO him and he decided 1t as he honestly
believed was RICH and there Is this pecu-
1larity about II, Ii is right Qaughter). Here
Is what Judge Vincent decided:
"It Is undoubtedly true that the milled
dollar as 1t was then current was the start
Ing point. and the number OF grains to COM
pose a gold dollar was ascertalned by divid-
ing the number of grains in the silver dol
lar by fifteen. But this does not alter the
fact that the units were expressed In gold
and silver. On the contrary II seems TO
show that both were made units Of value.
The word unit was employed as the equiv.
aient of dollar, and the dollar was to con-
sslst Of either one Of two different things, one
tenth part of 24TA grains of gold or 3I1k
grains Of silver, just as equal values may
be embodied In given weights OF any two
given commodities such as wheat or corn.
A unit Of value is the unit In which values
are expressed. The values both of gold and
silver are expressed in the act of 1884, so
we have two units of value. IL both had
not been so expressed We could not hays
had bimetallism."
Mr.. Horr also quoted ex-director Of the
Mint Y. .. Leech that the laws authorize
both a gold dollar unit and a silver dollar
unit different from each other in intrinsic
value. That was the reason he Ueech)
proposed the law OF 1878.
The Unit of Value.
Mr.. Harvey-'Yesterdny, at the close,
after / had quoted as authority for silver
being the unit. the statute itself. the utter
ances Of Secretary Gallat.n. a deci lon by
Chief Justice Chase. OF the supreme court
of the United States, and other numerous
authorities. includ'n. Roswell q. Horr of
New York. Mr.. Horr then admitted that
the silver dollar was the unit Of value, and
the record Of yes erday shows that. Now,
In view of this attempt TO try to twist
something back Into the discussion by
which we are 10 believe him as saying one
thing yesterday and something else to-day.
i leave him TO such fate as the readers OF
this debate think Is proper, APP ausel
'sIn his constant attempt TO try TO discuss
biAetalllsm. the relation OF silver and gold.

Chicago, July 23.-rhe crucial point
was reached In the big Horr-Harvey
debate when near the end OF the ses-
sion Mr.. Horn, breaking away from
the long-eontinucd discussion OF the
circumstances surrounding the enact
ment OF the law Of 1878, stated COM
pactly his version Of the existing con-
dition Of the debate and then pumped
the main question: fought we again
throw open the minis of the United
States to the free coinage of silver"
Mr.. Harvey was evidently taken by sur
prise. but stood by his guns and insisted
on proceeding with his attempt to prove
that the characterization Of silver was ac-
complished with a surreptitiousness that
was criminal. Here Is what Mr.. Horr said
PREPARATORY to soriugins the chief issue.

KILLED NEAR WILBUR.
The Murderer Exoneratcd by q Jury of
Miners.

Florence, Colo, March 29.-A man
named Herrck shot and killed Enoch
Frabau, alias Frank Wagner, at min
ing camp twenty-four miles from this
city, late yesterday afternoon. Herrick
has been working for Wagner, but on
account of not being able to get the
money due him, he quit. Wagner went
to Herrick's house yesterday and with
a revolver endeavored to compel Her
rick to go to work and sign a receipt in
full for the money due the latter.
Wagner turned his head to glance out
the half closed door of the cabin, and
Herrick, taking advantage of the op-
portunity, reached under pillow on the
bed, seized revolver and shot Wagner
dead.
Herrick and his companions. lmmedi-
ately left the cabin, walked five miles
to Wilbur and telegraphed the sheriff at
Canon City what he had done.
A jury of miners was impaneled, who,
after hearing the testimony, exonerated
Herrick, who is free. The body of the
deceased was brought to Wilbur at mid
night last night. The dead man has
relatives in Elyria, Nebraska.

MEAT WILL BE HIGHER.
.rIcca Are Likely to Continue Their Ad-
vance.

.'rlcea Are Likely to Continue Thor Ad-
vance.
Chicago, March 2S.-The Post says:
Prices of all kinds of meats will be
higher this summer than they have been
for ten years past. Even the high prices
which were made by some dealers dur
ing the Worlds Fair period will be ex-
ceeded by the figures asked for roasts,
steaks and chops from now on. 1t Is not
probable that much relief will come be
fore next fall. Prices have already ad-
vanced about twenty-five per cent. and
an additional advance of about the same
proportion IL almost certain. The cause
Of this is the short supply OF cattle, FOL
lowed by the necessary Increase In value,
which forced dealers to raise prices to
consumers. While the prime cause OF
the advance Is the scarcity Of cattle, be-
fore that all kinds of meat advanced,
partly through the sentiments OF the
speculative market and partly on ac-
count OF the increased demands. All
kinds OF beef from porterhouse to hash,
are being now sold from two to I'VE
cents pound higher than month ago,
and pork products OF all qualities from
pigs feet to head cheese, are worth con-
adorable more than they could be
bought for on the first Of the month.
There Is little likelihood that reaction
will come, because the conditions which
enhanced values will not change for sew
eral months.

INTIMIDATINo NEGROES.
Trouble Between Whites and Blacks In
South Carolina

Augusta, Ca, March 2S.-A special to
the Herald from Bath, South Carolina,
tells Of trouble between whites and
blacks at the site Of the new mill Of the
Aiken Manufacturing Company. The
town was aroused late last night by the
report Of firearms and investigation re-
yealed the fact that party Of white
men had begun firing on the negroes as
sembled to do the work on the mill. The
negroes were notified by the white men
to leave town in fifteen minutes. They
refused and the shooting commenced.
1t seems that the shots were fired in
the air and were intended to frighten
and not to kill. The object was, Of
course, to run the negroes off and give
the whites chance to do the work. 1t
Is said that one negro was struck in the
leg. The negroes fed to the swamps,
where they remained all night They
returned this morning and are at work
today All is quiet for the present, but
further trouble is apprehended.

NEW PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESS

In the field of lighting by phosphores-
cence we reach hitherto untrodden
ground. Phosphorescent light has
been associated with the idea Of "cold
light" or the property of becoming lu-
minous with the omission of the inter
mediate step of combustion, as COM
monty understood. AS physical ac-
ton, we know it in the light of the fire.
fly, which Professor S. P. Langley rates
at an efficiency Of 100 per cent, all its
radiations lying within the limits Of
the visible spectrum. By means of the
Teslaic currents phosphorescent light
strong enough even to photograph by
has been obtained; and the picture. rep
resenting the inventor himself, is the
first portrait or photograph of any kind
ever taken by phosphorescent light
bulb whose lightgiving member is
coated with sulphide of zinc treated in
special way was rendered phosphores-
cent by means of current obtained
from high-frequency transformer coil.
The current used was alternated or os
cillated about 10000 times per second.
The exposure was about eight min
utes.
The other picture, that of Mr.. Glenn
ems Mark Twain, was taken few
weeks later-early in 1S94-with the
aid Of the same bulb, and with an ex-
posture Of about ten minutes. In order
to test more closely the actinic value
Of phosphoreseent light, some bulbs
subject to high-frequency currents
were photographed, or, If we may coin
new word, "phosphographed," with a
somewhat longer exposure. One bright
pair illustrated utilize sulphide of zinc
in some form for luminosity. The third
bulb, seen family to the left Of them,
has coating of sulphde Of calcium.
Although, judged by the eye, it glowed
with brightness fully equal to that
Of the other two the actinic value was
evidently much less. 1t is, perhaps,
needless to say that these demonstra-
lions invite an endless variety Of ex-
periments, in which inventors will find
host of novel phenomena awaiting
them as to phosphorescence and fiuor-
escence produced with electrical cur
rents.-Thomas Commerford Martin, in
