SILVER Is SCARCE
Worlds Supply of White Metal
Has All Been Used.
A BRISK INQUIRY FOR IT
China and Japan Asking for More, ana
the SmcItcrs Cannot Furnish 1t
Fast Enough.

New York, Oct. .21.-The best authori-
ties on silver predict a steadily inn
proving demand for the metal for some
time to come. The Willingness of Japan
to accept the indemnity from China in
silver contributed largely to the i'm
proVement in it's price which has been
noted during the last few months and
the accumulation of metal in London
will 20 on in order to complete the in
stallments Of the indemnity at various
dates of payment. China and Japan
are showing increasing inquiry for sill
yer, as the large amounts Of metal dis
tributed by both countries in payment
for war material and supplies have
been diverted to India and other silver
countries.
Mr.. Townsend of Hong Kong states
that the silver ordered two months ago
has only just been delivered. The sill
yer smelters are said to be sold ahead
for two months
The recent advance in the price Of
silver caused by the sharp demand on
account of China and Japan has estab-
lished a scarcity Of metal. Mr.. Towns
end of the Hong Kong and Shanghai
banking corporation, expresses the be-
lief that the accumulation of silver at
London has already found employment
London statistics show that there has
been a decrease this year in the i'm
portations Of silver into England Of
100000 ounces, equivalent to 100000.
This year also there will be a decrease
in the importations of silver into Wash
ington OF 54000,000 ounces, as a result
of the repeal OF the Sherman law. This
indicates a decrease in the production
OF the white metal this year Of about
G., 600, 900 ounces. The requirements for
China in silver in connection with the
indemnity payments to Japan will ex-
tend over at least two years.

A THOUSAND PEOPLE HOMELESS

Fire in the New Orleans Suburb Most
Probably Incendiary.
New Orleans, Oct. 21.-The fire in AL
giers yesterday destroyed $50 homes
and shanties occupied by 1000 people.
Most Of the occupants saved their per-
sonal effects. The buildings on ten
squares burned and the real estate on
which they stood was assessed at
1896, 100.
The fire was incendiary. Paul BoutIia,
the man who is suspected of being the
cause of all the destruction, had a mar
row escape from being lynched. He
was spirited away from the temporary
police station and brought to the city
by Captain Day, where he is now safe
ly housed, with the charge Of arson
pending against him.
The fire started in the old rookery,
a rattle-trap. 1t was occupied by a
score OF families, mostly Italians. Paul
Bouftia was one Of these and he &C.
cupied the lower part Of the building
He kept a fruit stand and had a wife
and six children to support. He was
n man who was heartily disliked by the
other Italians in the neighborhood, and
all over the city.
Subscriptions are being solicited for
the benefit of unfortunate families who
lost their homes. Eight thousand dol
lars were obtained today.

THE TEMPERANCE UNION SESSION
Reports From the Purity Department
Grand Demonstration at Night.

Baltimore, Oct. 21.-Mrs. Stevenson,
vice president Of the w. G. T. u, opened
the convention this morning in the alb
sence of Miss Willard.
Mrs. NJ. r. w. Merrill, superintendent
of the department of seeking homes
for homeless children, said that three
new state unions had been ADDED 10
the department work.
The report of the purity department
was read by Mary Wood Allen. The
principal impediment to the work of
this department was the lack of funds
with which to establish homes of ref
uge. But notwithstanding this a new
department, that of the Florence Crit
tendon missions, had been established.
In the Legislative field more work had
been accomplished than in any previous
year, a number of states having raised
the age of consent, while active efforts
in the same direction had been inaugu-
rated in other states. The greatest in
terest had been manifested in the moth
ers" meetings, and astrOng effort was
being made to supply the literature
necessary to a course of study FOR
mothers.
Mrs. Emile d. Martin read a resume
of the objects ana work accomplished
by the department on purity in litera-
ture and art. The pledge exacted by
this department is as follows: II viii
endeavor to read Gods word daily, en-
courage all that is good in literature
and art, and use my influence to create
a public sentiment against the impure
that my body may be a temple for the
indwelling of the Holy Ghost" The
methods Of the work include the scru-
tiny of literature on news stands, of bill
boards, art exhibitions, libraries, and
other mediums through which improp-
er literature and pictures are dissent
mated.
Tonight was given over to q grand
demonstration along the lines of the
great Albert hall meetings held in Lon
don in June last. There were addresses
by Mrs. Mary A. LivermOre of BoS-
ton. Mrs. Laura Ormiston Chant Of
London, General Neil Dow of Maine,
and Rev. Malty D. Babcock Of Mary
land. An especially interesting fea-
ture was the Giving pictures" showing
contrasts between children of the Loyal
Temperance Legion and those taken
from slum life.

Seattle, Wash, Oct 21.-The citizens
Of Alaska are greatly exercised over
the boundary line question and pro-
pose to take steps in the matter with
out delay. They do not want to see
what they term the richest portion OF
the United States annexed to British
Columbia and say they will fight be-
fore they will see it taken. The para
mount reason of renewed activity In
the boundary line question is the bril-
liant outlook Of the mining properties

Juneau. Prospectors are arriving iQ

COINS LECTURES.
Telephone No. So.


Nearly every prominent newspaper in
the country has taken It's turn at demol-
ishing the arguments and exposing the
untruths contained in the book In favor
Of free silver, called "Coin's financial
School" 1t has remained, however, for
the Chicago Times-Herald to put the cli-
max Of discredit and utter unrellability
upon this miserable fraud and imposition,
which it does in the following manner:
Thousands of people In every part of
the country honestly believe that the So
called lectures Of "Coin" actually took
place at the Art Institute In Chicago,
beginning May Z, 1894 (see page of Coins
Financial SCHOOL, and that certain we'll
known public men attended these lect-
ures, asked questions, made objections
and were completely answered. Now,
we wish to state definitely that no such
lectures ever took place in Chicago, or
in any other place. 1t is one Of the games
Of the author intended to deceive trusting
people. Honest people who have sup
posed "Coin" was to be trusted, have a
right to feel indignant at finding out
they have been tricked. Since 1t Is an
absolute lie to say that the lectures ever
took place, anyone can judge how much |
credence is to be given to other parts OF
the book. The following letter shows
how far and wide the error has gone:
Captolo, Ga, April %, 1896. Mr.. H. II.

my desk before me a copy OF Coins FL

claimed to be lectures given In Chicago.
On page IS It publishes some questions
claimed to have been asked by you. The
people here are arguing as to whether
such was really true or not. II you did
attend these lectures, and there really
were, as is claimed by the book, such
lectures given In which the people were
Interested, will you do me the kindness
Of 80 stating? Yours very truly,

For the benefit Of Mr.. Woods, or of
any other inquirers, It may be said for
Mr.. Kohlsaat that he never attended
such lectures for the very good reason
that no such lectures were ever given.

PRETTY SALMON LABELS,

efforts Of some Of the big trade papers,
In the East, and we hope, to some small
extent 10 our own constant endeavors in
this direction, ls gaining ground rapidly
and from every quarter comes In unmis-
taxable terms. series Of strong protests
against the further continuance OF this
detestable method OF swindling the pub
lie, There is one side of this question
which has not yet been touched on to the
extent It's Importance warrants, indeed in
our idea no phase OF this bogus brand
trouble presents so much cause for ex-
posure. We refer TO the acts OF those
commission men whose rascality is
smarter than that OF the general run OF
the evil doers In the trade. and whose
superior smartness leads them to adopt
neater methods than ordinarily obtain.
These "big fry" know that In several
centers the taste for handsome and at
tractive coverings for canned salmon is
growing considerably. and by spending
little money on papers. varnlsh. and
choice lithography, they manage to mako
very presentable labels with which to
enclose pink Alaska salmon and refuse

Columbia river spring fish.
