A BIMETAL FUSION
Proposed by a Detroit Or.
gan Of the G. o.
GOLD AND SILVER DOLLAR
Warranted to Cure All the
Financial Ills of Uncle
Sam
GOLD AND SILVER DOLLAR
ON THE SEE SAW PLAN
One Metal Expected to Just
Balance the Other in
Fluctuation.

DETROIT, Mich, April 2S.-The
Tribune Republican, will tomorrow
publish ain editirial leader which will
declare in favor of the solution of the
present money question by the issu-
ance of a new dollar to be composed .
of proportional parts of gold and sill
yer. The article quotes the national
platforms of 1888 and 1892 in favor of
bimetalliSm, and points out the dan
gers of practical silver monometal-
Ism through the throwing open of
the mints to the unlimited coinage.
1t calls attention to the difficulties
and delayswhich would attend the ne
gotiation of an international COM
pact, and questions the successful
maintenance of a parity between gold
and silver by that means in any
event. 1t calls upon the party to
fulfill it's platform pledges by form
ulating without delay a practicable
scheme for bimetallism, and espe-
cially in view of the threatened d 'sn-
tegration of parties and the drawing
of new party lines with gold mono
metalliSm on one side and silver mon
ometallism on the ether. Continuing,
the Tribune advocates the composite
dollar as measure easiest to effect
and with the least disturbance to
business of any plan suggested. 1t
proposes:
THAT all existing coinage laws be
repealed, and that there be Elacted
law creating a
NEW AMERICAN DOLLAR,
which would be the standard coin of
the nation, this dollar to be COM
posed of 206H grams of standard sill
yer and II $40 grains of standard
gold, fused together and struck into
handsome coin about the size of
the present half dollar.
''The coin would be Of absolutely
stable value, for in case of disparity
at any time in the commercial value
of silver whatswas lost by. the depre-
citation of one would be made up
by the exactly corresponding appre-
citation Of the other"
As to the question whether the pro-
pose dollar would be suitable for ex-
port, the Tribune says: 'Dt would
not be necessary to export the coin
while uncoined gold could be Sc
cured, which would be just as avail
able. If at any time it became neces-
sary to separate the gold from the
silver it could be done at the United
States mint at a cost of less than
L per cent. This very cost would be
precaution against the export of
coin while uncoined bullion was at
tainable."

LUsCoMBE OUT ON BAIL.
Public sympathy Is With the SIny-
er of Sanger.

er Oh sanger.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 28.-Ex-
City Attorney Robert Luscombe was
formally placed under arrest this after
noon, charged with murder in the first
degree for shooting his brother-in-law,
Emil A. Sanger, brother of the cham
pion bicyclist, Saturday night The
prisoner was released on $1,000 bail fur
nished by his father and Henry Hase.
Public sympathy seems to be with Lus-
combe, and hundreds of leading citi-
zens called upon him at the police sta
ton to offer assistance and advice.
Even some of the members of the San
ger family do not show any great re-
sentiment, knowing as they did that
the murdered man had cruelty beaten
his wife and threatened to kill Luz
combe. When Sanger went to the Lus-
combe homestead at Grand avenue and
Fifteenth street, where his wife had
taken refuge with her brother and
mother, after he had beaten her, he
carried heavy cane but no revolver,
but when he stepped up to the door
and tried to force an entrance Lus-
combe shot him through heavy plate
glass. His head was literally filled
with the pieces and he died instantly
He had been to the house before and
showed landscape gardener long
knife which he said he would use on
Luscombe. This is the latter's excuse
for shooting before Sanger forced an
entrance

Blackwell, the widow of a physician
formerly residing in Madison, N. j.
Carpenter visited her Friday night,
leaving soon after supper. A few
hours later the woman's body was
found with a bullet noie in her right
temple and a revolver by her side, evil

preston that the woman had commit

Carpenter and his arrest followed.
When Warden Walton went to his
cell this morning he found Carpenter
lying in pool of blood on the floor of
his cell with his throat cut from ear
to ear. BY his side was a razor which
he had borrowed from Patrick Morgan.
a fellow prisoner, on the pretext that
he wanted to shave himself. Morgan,
who occupies the same cell, says that
as soon as Carpenter obtained posses

said: Il am innocent of the murder of
Mrs. Blackwell and 1 want you to tell

Then he drew the razor across his
throat and fell. An examination of his
wound shows that none of the arteries
had been severed, but he has lost so
much blood that his recovery is doubt
full.

HEIR TO FOUR MILLION.
Missing Man Located but He Is
in His Grave.

5 PORT ANGELES, WASH, April 2S.-
Aasel White, the man referred to in
the dispatch of April % as being heir
to estate in New York valued at $4 ,0OO,-
e00,s has been traced to this country,
where he died in May, 1888, on his
rahch, located between this city, and
Dungeness.
AS was stated in the San Francisco
papers, it was supposed that Ansei
White had come to his death many
years ago by drowning in San Fran
cisco bay. During the past two years.
P1erpont White, a son of Ansel Whites
nephew, has been searching for the
lost heir, and found conclusive evil
dence of his death. He was traced
from Utica, N. Y, to Missouri, and
from thence to California, where all
trace of him was lost. The nephew
then advertised in the San Francisco
papers, and from the description c. F.
>Clapp, of Seattle, recognized Ansel
White, rancher of Dungeness. He
Immediately telegraphed the informa-
ton to Mr.. White at San Francisco,
and that gentleman came to Port
Angeles for the purpose of meeting
County Auditor John w. Troy, who

Dor of Ansel White. The identity
OF the dead man was fully established
during conversation between these gem
denen, for Mr.. Troy recalled MANY
circumstances which Mr.. White had
spoken of as having occurred during
his early life, for instance, of the fact
of his having been a schoolmate of ex-
Coy. Seymour, of New York.
Pierpont White was so confident that
he had at last succeeded in tracing
the missing heir to his grave that he
lett at once for New York, and stated
before leaving that two attorneys
would be at once sent from New York
to this city, whose mission it would
be TO secure legal and conclusive data
In order that the will might again be
probated and the 100000 divided be-
tween the sixteen heirs, who have
been waiting fifteen years for the in
formation now obtained
Ansel White had lived for twenty
years on his farm east of this city, and
at the time of his death was seventy
six years of age.

dent attempt to break her bonds. The
next day he buried the body under the
kitchen floor. He admitted having
taken her jewels. but denied any knowl-
edge of the $1,000 bonds which she was
said to have in her BOSOM
The original story told by Logue was
borne out in every detail by the investi-
cations of the coroner and the detect

tafer had for years been pursuing a
crooked career.
His story of the woman being ac-
cidentally smothered is generally dis
credited.

BRITISH ARE SERENE.
They Have No Doubt as to the
Outcome in Nicaragua.

LONDON, April 2S.-The following
semi-official note was issued from the
foreign office this evening:
Up to now nothing has been official
ly received regarding the course of
events in Nicaragua. No notification.
has been received of the landing of
blue jackets, as stated in the press
dispatches. The absence of informa-
ton is believed to be due to the fact
that the telegraph lines have been cut.
Up to this evening the admiralty is
also without information. No anxiety
is felt as to the outcome of the Earl of
Kimberly's attitude There is not the
slightest doubt that Nicaragua will
accede to the British demand. What
ever may be the extent of the pressure
required to bring about this result, the
government will not hesitate to apply
it.
The Observer says: "It is, indeed.

LONDON, April 28.-The United

it was presumed that the state de-

for Nicaragua it was thought that
the incident would be closed without
