Gold Bugs Are Alarmed.

New York, April IA special dis
patch to a morning paper from Wash
lngton says:
Secretary Morton of the agricultural de-
partment recently sent a note of thanks
to J. r. Buchanan, general passenger
agent of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missou-
ri Valley Railroad, stationed in Omaha
Buchanan responded in another letter.
suggesting that in Cleveland's nomination
for third term rests the chief salvation
or the country from the silver craze. Nor
ton sent the letter containing this sug-
gestion to John Dewitt Warner of New
York. leading light of the Reform Club
Morton's letter to Warner reads:

witt Warner-My Dear Warner: The en-
closed letter from J. r. Buchanan. gen.
eral passenger agent of the Fremont, Elk

ha may be of interest to you. My object
in sending you this letter of Buchanans
is to give you a thorough-going business

shows how fallacies flourish among the
fnanciers of the west and south. The let
ter also points out the necessity of imme-
date. coherent and organized action in
behalf of sound money. Very truly yours.
u. STERLING MORTON"
The conclusion of Buchanan's letter to
Secretary Morton is as follows:
MY judgment in the present outlook is
that the eastern conservatives of both
parties are likely to unite and possibly re-
nominate Cleveland. who will carry the
east and south, no doubt the east on his
able, honest conservatism, and the south
because they could never vote otherwise
than the democratic ticket. thus ensuring
a vote which would elect; and the west

INQUEST ON A MURDERED ACTRESS
CorOner's Jury Returned a Verdict Which
Will be Bad for Gentry.

Coroner's Jury Returned Verdict Which
VIII Dc Bad for Gentry.
Philadelphia, April 12--Deputy Coroner
quiry into the death of Margaret Winni-
fred Drisdale. "Madge Yorke," the young
actress shot and killed by Actor James
last. The delay In holding the inquest
was caused by Gentrys illness. in conse-
quence of injuries sustained by him In a
leap from the fire escape of the hotel, and
his subsequent attempt to commit sui
eide. The only eyewitness to the crime,
Miss Lydia Clarke of the Baggage Check"
company. was not present. but her depo-
sition, already published, was read. Gen
try's sallow face was pale and haggard.
and his deep black hair fell In a mass
over his brow. The events preceding and
Following the crime were told by num-
Der of witnesses. Detective Crawford
said the pistol used by Gentry belonged to
member of the "Hoss and Hoss" COM
pany named Heckett.
The deposition of Charles Edward Ma
gee was read. He said he was 2S years old
and had known Gentry 10 years. He met
Miss Drisdale for the first time last jan
uary. He was introduced to her by Gen
try as his betrothed. They never had any
words about her. 1t was Magee's opin-
ion that Gentry had been "guyed" about
Madge by alleged friends until he became
frenzied. Under advice of his counsel
Gentry did not testify. The jury rendered
n verdict that Margaret w. Drisdale came
to her death by gunshot wounds received
at the hands OF James B. Gentry.

WILD ExcITeM EMIT IN OIL FIELDS
The Recent Advance In Price Has Caused
Rush UNPRECEDENTED.

Rush Unprecedented.
Pittsburg, April 1.-THE extraordinary
movement in the Oil market this week
from sl.17 last Saturday to 81. 80 yesterday
with a net advance of 50 cents, has revived
the fever in an intense degree. There
never was a time when the wildcatter was
more alert than now. Men are in the field
day and night looking for possible devel-
opments. Some idea of the activity in
field operations may be had when 1t is
stated that April l the number Of new
wells drilling and rigs in course of con-
struction was 1,401. The monthly average
or new operations last year was only 23.2
and the total number of wells completed
only 3.54S for the entire year.
Whether the present search Is successful
or not. there will be an enormous amount
of money spent prospecting. No less than
$4,000, 900 is now being spent In new work.
and within a few weeks the Standard Oil
Company, IL Is estimated, will have pur-
chased $3.000,0OO worth of territory from
individual producers.
FINDLAY PEOPLE EXCITED.
Findlay. Ohio, April 12.-The oil produc-
ers of this region are in an excited state
of mind over the rapid rise in the prices.
They predict that the Standard will soon
be paying 81 for the stuff they condemned
as worth oily 10 cents a barrel q few years
ago. The announcement was made at the
Office of the Buckeye Pipe Line this morn
ing that the prices of the day would be
$l.1, and $1.05 for the two grades of Lima
oil.

NO EXCHANGE ON COOP FRIDAY
Although Not Legal Holiday Wall Street
Did No Business.

New York, April 12.-Exchanges are
closed today, and although Good Friday
is not legal holiday in this state, little
business of any kind was done in Wall
street outside of the banking Institutions
Sterling exchange is duh at 81. S9Q4 S91a for
demand and s4.SS9s@4.SSia for 60 days.
New York. April 12.-Good Friday is be-
ing observed with the usual solemn and
impressive services in the Episcopal and
Roman Catholic churches. According to
numerous students of astronomy, the day
is remarkable one from an astronomical
point of view. 1t is claimed that the
heavenly bodies which gravitate around
the sun are in exactly the same position
they occupied in the armament on the
day that the Savior died upon the cross,
and that this Is the first time such a condi-
ton has prevailed since that memorable
day. This, however, Is antagonized by
other men of note in the astronomical
world. and there has been quite a pointed
discussion of late between the two ele-
ments.
The observance of Good Friday was
more general, perhaps, this year than
ever before. Although not a legal holiday,
members of all downtown exchanges
closed. and many larger business houses
were also closed.
A MINISTER'S STATEMENT.
Charleston, s. c.. April 12.-Rev. ]. s.
Hartzell an Episcopalian minister, pub
fishes this statement: On Good Friday
this year the heavenly bodies which grav-
itate around the sun will be in exactly the
same position, relatively to each other
and to the earth, they occupied the day of
Christs crucifixion. 1t will be the first
time such a thing has occurred since that
day.

ADMINISTRATION WILL BE IN IT
Cleveland and Cabinet Expected TO Ac.
lively Fight Silver

Washington, April 12.-It is now certain
that several members of the administra-
ton will take prominent part in the DO
litical campaign over the money question
that will be carried on in different states.
The invitation of the Chicago business
men TO President Cleveland, asking him to
make an address In that city on the SUBJ
ject has been followed by intimations from
other places that the members of the cab
met were wanted to make similar address,
es in order that the position of the ad-
ministration may be placed before the
country In most forcible way The pres
ident has not yet answered the Chicago in
vitation, and If he finds 1t impossible to go,
it is expected that he will decline in a let
ter. expressing clearly his views on the
subject of money.
The campaign within the democratic
party against the free coinage movement
will no doubt take its keynote from the
presidents letter and speeches which may
be made by members of the cabinet The
campaign will be directed against the free
coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to l, and
the assertion will be made that such coin
age would mean silver monometallism,
and would be disastrous to the business
interests of the country, and extend to
every class and condition, no matter in
what pursuit engaged.

New York. April 1.-THE National
Provisioner. the organ of the meat and

morrow:
mo more absurd theory has been ad-
vanced than the recent attempts to
make the consuming public of this coun-
try believe that the shortage in cattle

any other than natural causes. With a
wisdom, however, begotten of ignorance
and inability or Discrimination to ac-
curately investigate the false and err
roneous. the news has been trumpeted
In every state in the Union to such an
extent that the greater portion of the
people OF America are under the impress
sion today that this great food product
Is tied up In the vicious grasp of mon
opoly. 1t is absurd and unjust to couple
the names of reputable business houses
with conditions for which they are in
no way responsible. 1t would be an alb
solute impossibility for a combination
Of men, no matter what the extent of
their capital was, to corner the beef or
cattle market and the money has not
yet been minted that can do it,"
ARMOUR'S ESTIMATE.
Chicago, April 12.-Referring to the
proposed investigation by Secretary
Morton, r. A. Armour said today:
THE shortage in the cattle supply of
the four principal western markets thus
far this year amounts to nearly 27O, 900
head compared with a year ago. The
shortage in pounds of dressed beef this
year since the first Of the year figures
out about 175.000,000 or nearly 1000, 900
pounds per day. At the same time the
price of live cattle has advanced about
2 cents per pound"

A FRACTIONAL FIGHT OF PAINTERS
Executive Board of the Federation OF

Indianapolis. April 12-The contest be-

of Painters and Decorators of America,
and which has weekly been growing more
bitter, will come before the executive
board of the American Federation of La
Dor, which meets here later in the month.
and will be finally adjudicated by that
body. The two factions are respectively
headed by j. w. Mckinney and T. j.
Elliott, both of whom claim to have been
regularly elected general secretary-treas-
urer. The federation has already Endorsed
the Elliott faction, but a reconsideration
has been demanded and granted. Mean
while the local unions in Chicago, Denver
Indianapolis and New Orleans and other
large cities have withdrawn from the
Elliott side and placed their charters
with Mckinney. The Importance of set
Element to contractors and employers gen.
orally rests in the fact that the general
secretary-treasurer Is alone empowered to
sign the union cards, and that just now
the McKinney's refuse to acknowledge
the cards of the Elliott faction, and vice
versa. The adherents of each side look
upon the others as ''scabs' and complica-
tons innumerable are liable to result.

EGYPT LOOKS TO FRANCE FOR AID
A French Deputy Gives His Idea of the
Nile Situation.

Paris. April 12.-Matin publishes a let
ter from NJ. Francois Deloniel. anti-En-
glish French deputy, whose presence at
Cairo recently attracted considerable at
tention in view of the somewhat strained
relations between France and England,
growing out of the Niger company's pro-
test against French intrusion upon certain
districts on the upper Nile. Deloniel says
Egypt was never more tranquil than now,
and that signatures to petitions praying
for continuance of British rule in that
country are only obtained by force. He
adds that Lord Cromer, British minister
plenipotentiary. is planning a fresh expe-
dition to Dongla. in order to create com
plications, and afford an excuse to main
tain British occupation of Egypt. He con-
cludes by asserting that the natives look
to France for a solution Of the present sit
