One-half. And this is exactly what
has taken place. as monOmetalism has
swept our land as the blasting simeon
from the desert.
l regard it as a plain proposition,
that had the conspiracy of 1873 been
turned against gold instead of silver,
gold would not, to-day, be worth
forty cents on the dollar. I will give
my reasons for this cOsclusiOn:
With Statisticians, ii is an ascertain
ed fact, that twO-thirds of the worlds
gold product up to 1873 was used for
money purposes. and one-third in the
arts and manufactures; and that on
the contrary. but one-third Of the sill
Yer product of the world TO 1878. was
used for money purposes, and two
thirds for the arts and manufactures.
This relative use would still continue,
were silver remonetiZed. Under nat
ural laws Of trade, supply and demand
regulate prices the world over. The
characterization of gold would deprive
il of two-thirds OF its demands, while
the decentralization Of silver depriyes
it of but one-third of its demand. Take
away. by characterization, two-thirds of
the demand for gold, and the result
would be rs 1 have stated, if not
worse.
The gold monometallists are con-
stantly ding-dOnging into our ears the
absurd declaration that, if We declare
for free silvcG the United States will
be the dumping ground for the worlds
silver. Remembering that China,
Japan, India, South and Central Amer
lea have little else than silver money,
and that the whole Of Europe
even under monometailism, uses i'm
mense quantities Of it
AS SUBSIDIARY COIN.
it would be somewhat interesting for
the wise men OF the East, to condo
scend just a little an let the poor be-
nighted suffering heather of the South
and West know whence this dumping
business is to come.

ANOTHER BOND ISSUE.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. Tt is condfldent-
ly expected that an announcement of an
other issue OF bonds Will be made tomor-
row or Sat urday, independent OF the ac-
tion OF the House this afternoon on the
Springer bill. The net result of the
negotiations which have been in
progress during the last two or
tLreo weeks Is supposed to bo a
practical agreement among the London
and New York bankers and the President
for an issue OF s1oO, 100000 four per cent.
bonds on an interest basis OF at least 3A
per cent. il not greater. OF late the Lon :
don bankers have expressed a disipclina-
tion TO handle any part OF The issue unless
the New Workers took part OF IL
And now they insist that the New
Workers should have direct and
personal interest In the redemption OF the
bonds in gold and very recently they in
formed Messrs. Morgan n Belmont that
under no other conditions will they accept
any part OF the issue. This condition. it
Is said, has been accepted by the New
York bankers and II now seems almost
certain that s5o,000,0o0 will be offered for
sale TO our own people and the other
so 100000 sold In London.

new EVIDENCE.
Keegan's Attorneys Rely on it
Principally for New Trial.

This afternoon or tomorrow morning
Lawrence G. Keegsn's attorneys will file q
notice with the clerk Of the Common
Pleas Court that they intend to petition
the appellate division for a new trial.
Mr.. McGill states that his principal
hope OF obtaining new trial Is
based on new and important evidence
which has recently come to light. Chief
among this Is the statement OF q we'll
known citizen Of Providence who says
that he saw Keegan on Westminster street
about o o'clock on the afternoon OF Thurs
day, September 27, 1896.
"We shall bring forward no barroom
loafers, as has been limited, to establish
our case, il 1t ever comes to new trial, 4"
said the attorney. "The new witnesses
whom we expect to produce will be
equally as reputable as those we already
have"
The attorney further said that rumors
were continually coming TO him in regard
to statements made by certain Of
the jurors who sat on the
case. These statements IL substantiated
would be alone sufficient groOed for a
new trial and Mr.. McGill's intention Is
to investigate them. He does not ex-
pect that Keegan's cause will be argued
before the Appellate Court for some
neither he nor Mr.. Pierce will be idle in
doing everything in their power to
strengthen the case OF their client.

STEAMERS OVERDUE.
Speculaiions on the Whereabouts OF
Ocean Liners.

NEW YORK. Feb. THE French line
Steamer La Gascogne, from Havre, is four
days overdue. 1t is now the general be-
lies among steamship people that some
part of her machinery has broken down,
and having made temporary repairs she is
proceeding slowly toward port. Having
only two masts, she could not spread any
her speed wonld not be greatly increased
il sail had been hoisted to assist her pas
sage. Should her machinery be so disabled
as TO be completely useless for the time
being, she would be obliged to use the
sails In the teeth of the northwest winds
that have prevailed for some days past aud
could make little IL any headway.
The White S.ar line steamer Teutonic,
from Liverpool and Queenst own, was due
TO arrive at 1886 yesterday morning to
equal her record, but had not been re-
ported at IL o'clock. She is therefore 33
hours behind her record.
The thought that she has fallen in with
the Gascogne and has taken her in tow is
somewhat strengthened by her non-ap-
pearance. The National line steamer
England, Is days out from London, has
been sighted, and on her arrival it is pos
sible that she may report having sighted
one or both Of the belated steamers.
NEW YORK, Feb. THE steamer Cir
cassia, three days overdue from Glasgow,
was sighted of Sandy Hook at o'clock
this afternoon.

AND he is ALIVE YET.

Senator Babcock, OF Hopkinton tells
the star cold weather story Of the present
wave. Hopkinton Is the coldest place in
Rhode Island and the Senator lives on the
exposed side of the bleakest hill.
Yesterday morning MIR. Babcock woke
upand had curiosity to know how cold it
was, SO he descended the stairs in his all
night costume, limited, and stepped out
side the front door where the ther-
mometer is hung. BY the light of match
he had just discovered that the mercury
registered 10 below nothing when gust
OF wind all the way from the
Berkshire hills of Massachusetts, blew out
the match, then by q suction movement
pulled the door to with such. force that
the spring lock worked as originally in
tended and the member from Hopkinton
found himself with his legs bare
to the knees, locked out on
his front piazza. Then the mercury
dropped another quarter degree and Mr..
Babcock realized that the rest of his
family were sound asleep in the back part
of the house.
At this point in his story the Senate
was called TO order by the Governor and
the time OF the exposure was left to spec
ulation.

esting phase OF ox,Queen Liliuokalani's

sulting in the seizure Of arms, ammunition
and bombs. A number of papers belong
ing to the ex-Queen were taken pos
session OF and turned over to
the goverdment. Among the papers
was memorandum in her own hand
writing, dating back to last June and
July, wherein occur frequent references
to Rudolph Spreckles in which he is
quoted as repeatedly urging her to resort
to force to regain the lost throne. These
opportunities were Offset by j. o. Carter,
one Of her closest advisors who councelled
moderation.
Anotner paper lounu among the eA-
Queens papers referred to the commits
sion appointed by her several months ago
to proceed to Washington and ascertain il
President Cleveland would take any
further steps to restore her to power.
In this she again alludes to Spreckles'
advice to use arms, and Carter's counter
suggestion to attain her object by peace
tui means, and says she informed
Spreckles that she thought Mr.. Cleveland
would look upon the arbitration plan with
much favor.
Ia this paper she charges that ore OF
her commissioners TO Washington,
Samuel Parker, enpeavored to tell the
secret OF his mission to w. G. Irwin.
1t is tqe general impression that

arms for the revolutionists himself, but
merely advanced the funds required on
the ex-Queen's account and that some-
body else made the purchase.

When Charles Slocum, janitor of the
Thayer street school house, opened the
door to room No. 4, this morning, 1t was
stone cold, and upon examination he
found that the window in the ante-room
was open. Mr.. Slocurn was positive that he
closed and properly fastened all the
windows the night before. Upon further
investigation he found that the window
mad been forced open from the outside
witha jimmy or some similar tool.
The housebreaker wore heavy overshoes
or rubber boots. He came and departed
by the Thaycr street gate.
The visitor ransacked the drawers in
in room A, but otherwise than smashing
of the locks, and mixing things up gen.
orally, there was nothing taken. From
this room the man visited room
No. /, where Principal Albert j. Manches-
ter and one OF has assistants, Miss Stella
Z. Allen, have desks. These were pried
open and the contents OF the drawers were
scattered about the floor and upon the
top of the desks.
Mr.. Manchester's private Office was next
visited. At first no trace OF the man
could be found, but later in the day
Captain McGilI called at the school, and
he saw where the man bad made an effort
to open the desk with some sort Of
q tool. Mr.. Manchester was conf
dent that the desk had not been opened
and so he unlocked 1t and to his surprise
he found the contents OF the desk topsy
turvey. The lock was intact and SEEM
ingly so was the desk, which is rose

Captain McGill and Mr.. Manchester
spent some time in looking over the arti-
cles in the desk to see IL anything had been
taken, ana when satisfied that nothing
had been removed, Mr.. Manchester took
hold OF the lower part of the cover and
began TO close it when he
found that the. maurauder, failing
TO force the desk open, had inserted his
pocket knife between the fourth
and fifth ribs Of the desk and had cut
through the canvas which formed the
back OF the cover. No other trace Of the
man was found aud nothing Is missing.
MIR. Manchester says that in the past
the grammar masters have been given the
privilege TO sell to the scholars a certain
class OF supplies, the proceeds OF which
are to be expended for some article TO be
used in the school. Some of the masters
had more or less money on hand, and this
was probably what the man was after.

about $50 worth OF supplies were stolen.

found, but the police are at work on the
