TO MAKE STRONG
 FIGHT AGATNSF FREE COINAGE.

Contest to be Carried on Along the Lines
 Laid Downin Presidents Messase-Menn-
 bers of the Cabinet to Make Speeches in
 the Several Sections of the Country.
 Washington, April 22.--A strong and vigorous fight against the free and un- limited coinage of silver, Independent of international agreement. is to be made by the administration. With that end In view officers in the various de- partments, appointed under the present administration, are being urged to or ganize systematically for the purpose of conducting the contest along the lines laid down in the presidents message. Many of the higher officials who enjoy regulations at home as stump speakers will probably take to the field early in the summer and others are even now engaged in writing letters to their local papers or to personal friends Impress ing upon them the importance of sus- taining the administration In the posi- tion 1t has outlined.
 Federal officers in the several states will organize a. nucleus about which dll WnO upnOlu JuG MISREPRESENTATION, or rather who are opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver, will be ex- pected to rally. Secretary Carlisle will certainly make two or more speeches in the Kentucky campaign. Secretary Morton will deliver an address in Chi cago and perhaps one in St. Louis. Sec retary Herbert and Congressman Clark will probably speak in Alabama. Post master General Wilson is being urged to go west and speak in Illinois and Indiana, and may find time to do so in the summer.
 The president is represented as being thoroughly in earnest in this proposed crusade against the free and unlimited coinage of silver and will leave no stone unturned to prevent the free silver mem from gaining headway. Perfected state organizations with this end in view are now being formed ad these organiza- tions will be extended to the counties and even into districts.

 Chicago, April 22-The advance in the price of wheat which began last week continued in a sensational manner to- day on the board of trade When trad ling began there was a wild scramble for wheat, July being the favorite op- kion. In ten minutes the price had .reached 63 cents, which was two cents .bver the closing price of Saturday. lThe action of the bears in selling a |hnd there was a reaction to 62 cents. tThe market fluctuated between those prices for some time. The wheat pit lwas damned with brokers who held
 buying orders. Everybody wanted
 wheat in hurry.
 The furry to-day was not due to the rushing of the shorts to cover, but to a sudden and general demand for the grain. The trading was o fast and furious that the pit presented a panicky Bcene and it is estimated that twenty minutes from the opening more than en millions had changed hands Ar hour & Co., made an enormous profit

WILL PROMOTE PROSPERITY
IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION TO THE
 JAPANESE PEOPLE.

Result of the War Directly Attributable to the Harmonious Efforts of the Whole
 Nation-Japan's Soldiers and Sailors
 Have Earned World Wide Reputation. London, April 22.-The Central News correspondent in Tokio telegraphs a summary of an imperial proclamation issued to-day to the Japanese people.
 The emperor states that he is convinced that the peace concluded at Shimonesiki will promote the national prosperity, which has ever been his highest aim. The glorious result of the war, he says, has been achieved by the har- monious efforts of the whole nation. The ministers. the army, the navy and
 the peoples representatives have done
 everything in their power to make Japan strong and ready to realize the
 emperor's aspirations. They have omit ted nothing in perfecting the plans of national defence. The soldiers and
 sailors of the empire have won ever . lasting glory by their behavior abroad They have advanced and fought un- mindful of winters bitter cold and summers blazing heat and they have triumphed everywhere.
 They have earned a worldwide repu-
 tation for discipline and humanity. No
 praise is too high for their loyalty . and valor and the glory both have < added to the empire. At the same { time much remains to be done in the new march toward higher civilization.
 It is to be hoped that the loyal sub I jects of the empire will realize this
 and will guard against the dangers of
 vanity and conceit They should cul-
 tivate spirit of modesty and humility \ and strive to perfect their military de- \ fences although without going to the
 extremes of national armament. They ' should promote education and seek to
 know the rehnements-but not the ef- 'feminacy-of life.
 The empire rebukes sharply those who in the intoxication of victory seem
 inclined to insult friendly powers and 0complicate the empires foreign rela- tions. Now the breaches of faith have
 been repented the exchange of treaty justification should inaugurate period
 of forgiveness and friendship Every endeavor should be made to live in peace ana BOOQ Will With the naUlonS ' of the earth. The emperor closes the proclamation with the statement that
 strict obedience of his wishes, as indi-
 cated in this document, will be exacted
 from all his subjects
 TRANCE VIEWS IT DIFFERENTLY Paris, April. 22.-The Temps says in Ha strongly worded leader on the terms of peace: The treaty will constitute a permanent menace to the interests of
 Europe. It is grave infringement on 1the rights of the powers whose pos
 sessions have a common frontier with |China, and Europe will find it difficult Ito understand or forgive the one west Hern power that is selfshly holding aloof land thus destroying the efficacy of the peaceful intervention of the others. Berlin, April 22-The Koenische- Zeitung says that the German, French land Russian ministers in Tokio have addressed identical notes to the Japan 'ese government protesting in a friendly but energetic manner against the terms lof peace.

 Some months ago Poor became dis heartened and committed the crime of forgery of which he was convicted at the January term of the superior court and was sentenced to the reformatory at Concord for one year. The vast wealth that has come into his possess sion comes to him, according to this same information, through the will of Millionaire Howard of Nevada, the young man having been named after that gentleman. Other parties in Sac ramento and Oakland Cal, and Carson City, New, are said to be benefited by the will. Poor is twenty-four years of age and has always been considered a bright young man. His associations of late years have not been of the best, and to that effect Is attributed his down. fall.
 He has one sister, Miss Kitty Poor, who is now living in Lynn, this state. His parents are dead. The fortune which has been left him is we'll invested in gold mines, real estate mortgages, etc., yielding an enormous yearly rev. enue.
