To Show That Silver Dollars Have Been

Declares That the World Has Declared
Againut Silver.

40 SNOW Thnt bilvor DoIars Havo Been
Coined Nearly Every Year Mr. Horr
Declares That the World Has Declared
Against Silver.
CHICAGO, July 2s.-The Horr-Harvey
debate on silver was resumed at the Illi-
nois club rooms yesterday afternoon.
There was fair attendance.
Mr.. Horr opened the dispute with
written argument touching tho impossi-
bility Of maintaip ping fixed ratio between
gold and silver. As the result Of expert
snce all Of tho civilized nations of the
globe had discarded siivor as n stamford
money. II was useless to exploit long
tables Of ratios TO show whether double
standard could bo maintained. The world
had pronounced against silver.
Mr.. Harvey, taking up Mr.. Horr's Gu
logy of Senator Morrill,, delivered on Sat
urday, charged that Senator Morrill, erred
In saying that no silver dollars had been
coinedfor forty years. Prior TO 1873, Mr..
Harvey read from the report Of the direc-
tor Of the mint showing that silver dollars
In greater or less amounts had been coined
nearly every year. The fact was that Mr..
Morrill, was q bank stockholder. with o
bank stockholders prejudice. He called
on Mr., Horr TO explain.
Mr.. Hor said that Mr.. Morrill, had not
meant to say that not dollar had been
coined, but that none to speak Of had. At
most IL would be said that Mr.. Morrill, Ind
made mistake. Mr.. Harvey in his book
had made a mistake, and a bad one, In
stating the amount of silver which had
been coined during the life OF the govern
ment
Die greatest interest conferred in Mr..
Harvey's effort to demonstrate that the
full reconciliation of silver by the United
States would double the value Of every
tbing ip the country except debta Mr..
Horr pfoh6hnoed this proposition absurd
1--WE might as we'll say that II we out our
yard sticks in two" said he, 1--WE would
double the amount of clothing In the
sopntry. If half the gold in the world
were destroyed would not the value OF the
gold dollar be doubleda"
The repfAining debate conferred about
shls point, advocates Of each side givinG
generous applause to. the advantage gained
by their favorites.

CHICAGO, May 81. = Chicago yesterday
buried the nations dead with civic and
military honors. The body of Walter q.
Gresham was entombed In vault at Oak
wood cemetery, there to remain until q
final burial place is chosen.
At Fordham, on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, the special funeral train was
switched to the tracks Of the Illinois Cen
tral, arriving at Sixty-third street at 2
o'clock yesterday. The procession was
formed by the escort OF honor, consisting
Of the troop Of all arms from Fort Sheri'
dan. These were followed by the honor
ary pall-bearers, and next came the funeral
car with the active beafcrs walking on
either side.
Next rode the members of the late SEQ
retary's family and the presidential party,
and the rear Of tho oortege was brought
up by the members Of the Loyal Legion,
Grand Army veterans, judges OF the
courts, state and municipal officers, civic
societies and citizens. The entire line OF
march was crowded with people, who re-
spectfully barred their heads as the cortege
passed.
Arriving at the cemetery chapel, the
casket was removed from the funeral car
and borne within by eight sergeants OF
marines. The services, conducted by
Rev. J. Mcpherson Of the Second Presby-
terian church, were impressive, but simple,
consisting merely Of Scriptural readings, a
hymn by the choir and prayer. At their
conclusion the remains were temporarily
deposited in the receiving vault Of the
cemetery. No salute was fred, the cere-
monies concluding with "taps."
The train had been held at Sixty-third
street and the president and party returned
to it and at once started ON the return trip
to Washington.

COMMANDMENT BEGUN.
Formosa Seaport Under the Fire Of
Japanese Warships.
Dissension Among Leaders In
New Republic.


LONDON, May 81. Private advioes re-
ceived here are to the effect that the Jap
anese are bombarding Kee Lung, a town
An the extreme north of Formosa. 1t Is
believed here that the bombardment Is be-
ing carried on by the feet Of the Japanese
now supposed to be at sea in the vicinity
Of Tamsui.
Advices from Hong Kong regarding
the trouble ON the island of Formosa show
that the action which resulted In the island
declaring itself republic was promoted
by the Chang Chin Tong party, as opposed
to the Ii family. General Tcheng has
been appointed foreign minister, and Kuh.
Sing-Kuk, the originator Of the move
ment, has been superseded by Tang
Discussions have already occurred, and
the common'people, 1t is stated, regard the
declaration of a republic as an official
dodge HI. b. Morse, the commits
sioner Of customs at Tamsui, island OF
F0rmosa, has refused to recognize the re-
publican flag, and the German consul at
Tamsui, addressing Tang as governor OF
the island, protested against closing the
port of Tamsui with torpedoes in time OF
peace.

Five Japanese warships arrived at Tam
sui on May 26, and took soundings In the

Il is stated French cruiser visited Tam
sui and two of her officers had secret in
terview with Tang. No Importance, how
ever is attached to this fact.
A petition has been forwarded to Pekin

started yesterday in the race for 10 to 90
raters in the regatta here. Inyoni crossed

unable to make headway against the tide,
and finally retired without crossing the

will not excel in light weather with her
present sailspread, which is not enough to
drive her big hull through the water. In

Camp Douglas and there many thousands
of Confederate prisoners were confined be-
tween the years 1862 and 1885. The men
held there under the restraints which be-
fell captives of war had spent their lives
in that balmy climate Of the sunny south,
and the rigors of q northern winter told
upon them severely.
AS a consequence, 5000 of them were
liberated by death and were buried in
Oakwood cemetery, at Cottage Grove av-
enue and Sixty-seventh street. 1t was to
the memory of these 5000 who died in a
solitary prison in an enemy's country that
the monument was dedicated by their
comrades and opponents in arms on the
spot where they were buried. 1t is the
