PREPARING FOR EMERGENCIES,
Foreign Warships Assembling
at the Different Ports
of Japan.

LONDON, May 2.-The Times pub
fishes dispatch from Kobe, dated
April 26, saying that there is no mis-
taking the fact that there is evidence Of
serious crisis in the relations between
Japan and Russia, but, the correspond
ent adds, the Japanese press has been
forbidden to refer to it, and four news
papers Of Toxic, including the semi
official Nichi- Nichi, have been sus-
pended for reporting the fact that a
secret council of the ministers was held.
The other newspapers in which refer
ences to tho crisis appeared are defaced.
Continuing, The Times correspondent
says:
Information reaches us from a reli-
able source at Hiroshima that the min
istry have adopted a resolute attitude
against Russian dictation. They deny
Russia's right to interfere and even
contemplate defiance on Russia, be-
lieving that the Russian military forces
in the East are not powerful enough to
enforce her demands. The foreign war
ships are assembling at the ports of
Japan and the French vessels have been
ordered to prepare for emergencies.

Of the Denver mint have fallen off

The mystery has been solved. The

The smelter people do their business

Nicaragua Has Many Ways of Satisfying G
the British Demand.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The guarantee
of the payment by Nicaragua of the in.
demnity required by Great Britain will
be made in the amplest manner posi-.
BILE, SO that there appears to be no fur
ther obstacle between the two countries
as to final adjustment.
The guarantee will be in several
forms as follows:
First, the promise of the Nicaraguan
government, which, in view of the fact
that the government has never de.
faulted on its obligations, is of itself
regarded as guarantee;
Second, that the Bank Of Nicaragua,
a national institution with recognized
standing in London, will, if need be-,
give the guarantee.
Third, the republic Of Guatemala,
one of the richest of Central American
states, stands ready to deposit el5, SOC
in London bank if Nicaragua desires
the favor.
Fourth, the Nicaragua canal com.
pany whose word in London would be
acceptable in the highest financial cir.
cles, will give either a guarantee or the
cash if need be.
Besides these guarantees, any one OF
which is avaslable and is regarded as
ample, the Nicaraguan authorities are
said to have the actual funds immedi-
ately available without calling for out.
side help. A guarantee by the United
States is not regarded as essential under
the foregoing circumstances.

PARITY IDlOCY.

It is a Well-known fact that nearly
all the silver coined in the United
States from the frat establishment
of the mints in the year 1892 down
to 1878 was coined into half dollars
and quarters. Down to 1853 these
half dollars and quarters were one
half and one-fourth the weight re-
spectlvely of the silver dollar, and
were a full legal tender in any
amount for all debts and dues either
public or private. The act of 1853
reduced the silver in these denomi-
nations Of our coinage and made
them a legal tender only to the
amount of SIS in any one payment.
The silver dollars coined prior to
1878 amounted only to $8,O31, 1888.
TheirCoinsge was practically stopped
by an order Of President Jefferson
issued May 6, 1905; and it was in
consequence of this order that 80 few
silver dollars were coined until o
comparatively recent date.
Now why was this order issued?
It was simply because the silver bull
lion in the dollar was worth more as
bullion than 1t was In coin. France
was coming gold and silver at ratio
of 155 to l. Our ratio being 16 to l
our silver dollars could be exported
to France at a profit and the Conse-
quence was that they left the coun.
try about as fast as they were coined.
1t was said to be for this reason that
Jefferson issued the order to stop
their coinage. Gold was then the
cheaper metal, and it remained so
until after 1873, and until congress
sionsl jugglery effected change In
the relative prices of the two metals
in the market. The fat of govern
ment then reduced the price of the
the silver bullion in the silver dollar
as it now does the price of the gold
bullion in the gold dollar 80 that the
purchasing and debt-psying power
of the dollars was the same notwith-
standing the difference in price of
the metals that composed them. We
now repeat our question to the gold
bug press, why 1t was that under
these circumstances government did
not insist upon paying all its obligs-
tions in the desrer metal in order to
maintain the parity of gold with sill
YER? Whoever heard of any of this
parity idiocY then? Evidently the
''fnsnCiers" of those days had not
yet learned anything about this mod
