Some of the SiIverites Claim He Was
Once on Their Side.

William d. Bynum, ex-Congressman from
the old Seventh district, now represented
by Charles L. Henry, made the announce
ment yesterday that he had been engaged
by the Sound Money League of New York.
a Branch of the Tariff Reform League, to
make twenty speeches in Indiana against
free silver. He said the majority OF the
speeches would be made south of the Ma
tional road. where the sentiment for free
silver is much the strongest. He said they
would not be political in their nature but
would be a discussion OF the financial ques-
tion on economic lines. The~opening speech
will be made July g. The place was not
announced.
Charles W. Welman. editor of Demo-
cratic paper at Sullivan, who was on the
Democratic State ticket last year, said,
when he heard of Mr.. Bynum's purpose.
that the friends of free silver would well
come this discussion. The "sound-money"
fellows in the Democratic party. he claimed

element TO keep down discussion and the
distraction of the party. but he was glad

THE SUPERINTENDENTS ADJOURN.


The county superintendents concluded
their regular semi-annual session yesterday
and went home. The most important
event Of the day was an address by State
Superintendent Geeting, in which he re-
ferred to many topics of interest both to
the superintendent and the public gener-
ally. The first examination of teachers. in
which teaching the effects Of alcohol will
be one of the subjects, will be held in July.
This examination, Mr.. Geeting said, will
not have TO be taken by those who now hold
licenses. The teaching of this subject is
made obligatory. and he cautioned the SUI
perintendents to see that ample preparation
is made for il.
He then took up the question of making
provision for pupils after they have grad
uated from the common schools. At the
present time there are very few townships
that provide for a higher course OF study.
The Circuit courts Of several counties have
declared that it is the duty of township
trustees to provide a higher course of
study. and Mr.. Geeting advised that where
there is high school in township the
superintendent should transfer pupils to
some adjacent township where there is such
a school. The fact that SO few boys grad
uate from the common schools was another
fact that concerned him greatly. He said
that his experience had been that through
out the State the average of graduates is
about seventy girls TO thirty boys He
thought that a part of this was due TO the
fact that some teachers make life in the
school burden for boys. Such teachers
he said, should not be allowed TO have a
school. IL is better. he said, TO get rid of
such teachers than TO get rid of the boys
as soon as they are large enough 10 have
some resentment in their nature.
Mr.. Geeting cautioned the superintend-
ents about the handling of examination
questions in such way that IL could be
possible for any one TO secure copies Of
them. He thought IL would be a good idea
for each superintendent to send TO the

by two teachers, stating that the seals on
the packages OF questions had been broken

possible suspicion that the superintendent

The park has not yet been definitely select
ed, but options have been obtained for
leases on the Cottage Grove Park, which
is on the north bank of the creek between
Illinois street and Capitol avenue, and two
other very excellent locations One of the
many suggestions that an open-air, enter

patronized, was taken up last week. A
number of gentlemen interested themselves
in the project, and in few days the sub

Where the Asphalt Was Torn Up.

The order of the Board of Works to the
Citizens Street-railroad Company TO re-
place the powdered part of West Wash
ington street where it had torn up asphalt
some weeks ago in laying new rails has
been ignored by the company. The mem
bers of the board have given the matter
very little thought since the order was
made. and they say the matter is in the
hands of the city attorney. Mr.. Scott said
yesterday that he had no definite instruc-
lions from the board, and would not act
until he had such instructions. There is a
strained relation between the city and the
company. which makes communication

VIEWED AT MARE ISLAND.
Placing Of the New Cruiser Olympia
In Commission.
Officers, Marines and Bluejaekets
Participate in the Simple but
Patriotic Services.

VALLEJO, Feb. Sat o'clock this after
noon the United States cruiser Olympia
was put in commission by Captain John J..
Read, the commanding officer of the ship.
The crew, headed by the Independence
band, marched on board. The marine
guard in full uniform occupied a station on
the after bridge. The officers, band and
blueiackets were assembled on the after
deck. As soon as Captain Read had read
the orders from Secretary of the Navy
Herbert ordering her into commission the
pennant was unfurled from the mainmast
head. A fine large American ensign was
f1oated from the staff at the rear of the
cruiser and union jack from staff on
the bow. The men stood with uncovered
heads as the band played "The Star
SpangIed Banner" After the ceremony
was over the first watch officer, Lieutenant
Waldemar D. Rose, took charge of the deck
and the men were marched back to the
receiving ship Independence, where they
will remain until the ship is ready to go
out of the drydock, which is expected to
be on Saturday.
The painting of the hull is well along
with, and by Friday the gang of painters
will be entirely through with their work.
A dozen or SO men were let off to-day at
noon.
A large number of visitors stood upon
the dock and witnessed the ceremony of
putting the ship in commission, but with
the exception of few none were allowed
on board, as the officers desired to get the
detail OF everything before the public were
admitted on board to inspect her. She is
lit up tonight with electric lights.
As soon as the Olympia goes out of the
dock she will be taken up alongside the
coal wharf, and the work of putting coal
and stores on board will be commenced.
The plate has been put on in place of the
one badly pitted, which was taken of
Saturday last.

WANTS BRITISH GOLD
CleYeland's Scheme to Tap
Lombard Street.
HOW TO PLACE THE LOAN.
No Americans Need Apply for the
New Bonds.
THAT MUCH HAS BEEN AGREED ON.
There Is Little Profit in Receiving Gold
That Uncle Sam Has Already
Paid Out.

WASHINGTON Feb. 5.-The Cabinet was
in session from before 10 A. NJ. till after
P. NJ. The object of discussion was the
pending bond issue. Several prominent
bankers are here, among them ]. Pierre
pont Morgan, and while they have not
seen either the President or Mr.. Carlisle it
is understood their views on the situation
were conveyed to the President to-day.
No authoritative statement of the charac-
ter of the Cabinet discussion can be made,
but it is believed that no final action has
been determined upon. 1t is understood
that negotiations with representatives of
London bankers are in progress with indi-
cations of an early contamination. There
is no longer any expectation of popular
loan to be placed in this country, as in
that event the experience of the last few
months would be repeated and the gold
reserve depleted. The purpose of the ad-
ministration, it is understood, is to place
the entire issue of bonds with London
bankers, who would pay for them in Lon
don gold and thus avoid, for the present at
least, the necessity for paying out gold in
exchange for legal tenders. While no
definite conclusion has been reached it is
believed that the announcement of the sale
of the bonds will be made at an early day.
Advices from New York state that
$3.50, 200 in gold was to-day withdrawn from
the sub-treasury in exchange for currency.
1t is not intended for export. Five hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars in gold
heretofore withdrawn for export was yes
terday returned to the treasury, which
leaves the gold reserve, after deducting to-
days Withdrawals, $40, 1886, 442.
The silver men in the Senate have de-
veloped difference in their rank on the
question of seigniorage. Senator Jones OF
Arkansas, while expressing the conviction
that silver coinage should prevail at the
old ratio of Is to 1, argues that it would be
a waste of time to report bill containing
provision of this kind when there was no
probability of it becoming law, and sug-
gests that it would be wiser to report bill
which would give the Government the
seigniorage, as provided for in his bill.
Other silver Senators hold out for free and
unlimited coinage, and while they concede
that no free coinage proposition is liable to
become law at this session they say the
same objection could be urged against any
bill, and that it would be wiser for the
free-coinage men to vote for their real con-
victions than to report makeshift. The
substitute for the Mcpherson bill, which
was voted down in the caucus of silver men
to-day, was a proposition suggested by Nc
Pherson providing for an issue of short
time per cent bonds to meet the deficit in
the treasury, much on the lines of the
Sherman bill.
