Minneapolis Times
Loren Elias, the son and third prin-
ciple figure in the tragedy, who was
arrested Saturday evening after he
had returned to his home at 1929
Nicollet avenue, was released from
custody at the central police station
at 200 o'clock yesterday afternoon by
order of Coroner Kistler and County
Attorney Frank Nye. j. M. Cart
wright, a brother to Mrs. Elias, ar
rived in the city yesterday, and, with
Loren, attended the funeral at Ply
mouth church yesterday afternoon,
and both left for Mankato last night.
1t was understood that steps were to
be taken to have Loren Elias placed
in an insane asylum at once, and late
yesterday afternoon, accompanied by
Bert Hall, who appeared for him at
the inquest, Loren appeared in the
probate court. Mr.. Cartwright, how
ever, refused to make an insanity
complaint against Elias, and conse-
quently no examination could be had,
and after the interment at Mankato
the two will go to Owatonna.
tThe coroner's inquest over the re-
mains of the mother was held at the
county morgue yesterday morning at
900 o'clock. The only sensational
feature was the successful termina-
tion of the police departments care
full search for the man who sold Mrs.
Elias the 44-caliber Colts revolver in
St. Paul Friday, with which revolver
the deed was committed. This man
is A. r. Walker, a clerk in the store
of William r. Burkhard, ST. Paul.
Mr.. Walker positively identified the
revolver and the woman to whom he
sold it, removing all doubts in the
minds of even the most skeptical.
"Mr. Walker testified that last
Tuesday morning dark-cOmpleXiOned
lady, wearing a dark dress and dark
hat, came into his store and pur-
chased a 3S-calibre Smith 81 Wesson re-
volver, and asked whether it would
surely kill or not. Friday morning
she returned, and said she did not
think the 3S-calibre was heavy
enough; asked the effect of the shot
at short range, and finally said she
wanted to exchange it for a 44-calibre
CoIt3S DC cha haliavad the Smith IL
Wesson was defective and might miss
fire.
"Mr. Walker was then shown the
revolver which the police found, and
with which Mrs. Elias committed the
deed. He positively identified it, and,
opening the chambers, removed the
four loaded shells t73 Winchesters),
and the two unloaded shells fell out"
The testimony at the inquest
tended to show that the mother
killed the daughter and then COM
mitted suicide, and such was the
finding of the coroner's jury. 1t was
shown that she had attempted to
take their lives some time ago by
shutting up the room and turning on
the gas.
1t seems that Mrs. Elias had been
respondent for some time back over
some property losses which she had
suffered lately, and she was certain
that she and her family would starve

WHAT WILL THE ANSWER BE?
The Public School Question Tn the Domin-
 ion of Canada,

WINNIPEG; Man. May 9.-"What will the answer be2" The one ab- sorbing question in Manitoba is one day nearer the answer The Legiala- ture reassembled today after recess of three weeks, and Premier Green way is now called upon to give his answer to the now celebrated rom edial order of the Dominion Govern Saack to Ottawa, and will follow up 5his defiance by dissolving the Le9is- lature and going to the country for the verdict of the people upon it's po- sition. The remedlal order forcing separate schools in the Province, ald which was signed by Lord Aberdeen and his ministers on March 2lst, last is not clearly understood outside of the Dominion. In brief, the order sets forth that the Roman Catholics of Manitoba have q right to build, maintain, and equip, manage, conduct, and support Roman Catho- lie seperate schools in a manner pro- vided by the statute, and which was repealed by the Province in 1890. The ARoman Catholics have also right to share proportionately in any grant made out by the public funds for the purpose of education. The Roman Catholics who contribute to seperate schools arc exempted from the payment of any public money to other schools. Upon receipt of the order Premier Greenway decided to play a waiting game by adjourning the Legislature in the expectation that the DomiAion Parliament would aglan deal with the question. Par hament convened on April 18th, but so far has taken no action in the matter. The next move of the Pre- mier and his advisers is being awaited With inteIise interest

SILVER AND THE DOOM OF WAGES
New York Snn.1

Last year Sir Henry Meysey- -Thomp called here, a convinced believer that commercial depression in countries like England, Germany, and the United States is due to the rise in the value of gold which they use as cur reney, while silver continues to be used by their Oriental rivals, offered u prize for the best paper discussing these topics. The prize was awarded
 to the paper submitted by the British Consul at Shanghai, Mir. George
 Jamieson, and we have copy of it which has been printed this year, with other documents. The prOpo-

SANTA ROSA, Cal, May 6-This is the principal day of the Rose Carni- val, and the street parade, which moved at noon, was the finest ever seen in this section of the State. Hundreds of vehicles of all descrip- tions, deliberately decorated with flowers were in line, while thousands of spectators each wearing their favorite flower lined the streets. Ali ter the parade had disbanded a grand battle of flowers was inaugu- rated, and the frolic will continue until dusk.

sition it maintains is this:

l SltlOn 1t maintains is this:
 AS gold has risen in value, the price accommodates i'll gold cOun-
 tries has steadily fallen. But, though silver has fallen in gold price, the prices of commodities in silver eeHn-
 tries have remained nearly un-
 changed. Rents and taxes, and more particularly wages, are the last to vary with the variation In prices: land hence, wages i'll gold countries;
 in the United States and England ,for
 example, remaining the same iH ;, figures, have practically risen, while
 wages in the silver countries are still
 unchanged. The result has been that ! the WesterH manufacturer has squeezed out his profits with greater | and greater difficulty, and the Olien- tai manufacturer has had an advan- tagc over him.
 .'If the value of gold" says Sir HenryMeysey-Thompson, Sis to con
 tinue to rise, the ultimate conse-
 quence must be the banishment of all
 our great manufacturing industries from England to find R home in the lsilver-using countries of the East
 and elsewhere. Wages in gold-using
 countries, says Mir. Jamieson, -"have through the appreciation of gold become a hundred per cent. dearer than they were relatively to
 silver wages" and the manufacturer i'll the silyer-standard countries can obtain his labor at half the cost
 relatively to gold wages which he l formerly paid" Hence, "while old
 established industries i'll England are
 in many cases barely paying expenses
 new and rival industries In the East
 are springing up broadcast, and, in spite of inexperience and eXtrava- gance of management, are paying l handsome returns to their owners. " 1 The report of the Yokohoma Cham | Der of Commerce of May, 1894, shows l that in 1883 there were 437 ,000 spln-
 dies in Japan; in 1893 there were 60O,- 1 GOO.
 Mir. Jamieson's statements and
 conclusions are alike perfectly simple.
 The competition of the East has been walked, before its natural hour, per
 haps, through the advantages that have been suddenly given to 1t by the violent rise in the value of the gold
 money still paid in the West as wages. The growth os Oriental in- l dustrics and the further decay of the
 already paralyzed manufacturing of the West can only be simultaneously arrested, according to this very clear
 and patent reasoning, by a square
 cut in the wages of English and American workmen, which would be
 accomplished by a change from the
 use of gold to the use of silver as ! standard.
 The silver rmovement in this country
 or England has scarcely reached the stage when its advocates are pre-
 pared thus boldly to expose its in evitable result, namely, to cut wages in half.

Both Lloyd and Wells Shoot Better than
 Heretofore,

About 100 people repaired to Jones' Park last afternoon to witness the beginning of q series of live-bird shoots between Lloyd and Wells. The event proved to be most inter esting from start to finish. as both made slightly better scores than heretofore. Lloyd had Wells 'bested up to the last five birds, when by some unexpected mischance he missed two birds in succession, which made the match a tie. The second series will take place this afternoon at 4 o'clock, and the third event tomor- TOW afternoon, at which time, also all ties will be shot off The score last evening was 20 and 20.
