The resumption of specie payments

These were quickly exchanged for the
old paper money, but Us soon as the
novelty had worn off the people were
glad to 20 back to the more convenient
form of paper currency. Another em-
barrassment occurred when the gov
ernment found that coin was being
exported in great quantities. The new
specie payment law fixed the ratio
between the metals ut Al to 1. This
ignored the current ratio Of the re-
nainder of the world, that in the Lon

made them worth intrinsically more

both gold and silver were being

But Little Light Thrown on tho Harring-

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4.-Two days
which have elapsed since the mangled
body Of Miss Nellie Harrington was
found have deepened rather than
cleared the mystery connected with
her murder. Some further light has
been thrown upon the business invest
ments of the dead woman, which have
furnished an incentive for the crime,
but the knowledge has aided the police
but little. The unfortunate accident
to ex-senator Buck, who was thrown
from carriage while on his way to
the Office of the chief Of police has
still further complicated matters. Mr..
Buck was al intimate friend OF
Miss Harrington and the police hoped
his knowledge of her affairs might
supply clew to the murderer. Since
the accident Buck has been un-
conscious. His condition is improving.

and William E. Strong receivers of the
National Cordage company, under q
bond Of 100000. The receivership is

The application for the appointment
of receivers Tor the company was due
to the fact that the company had not

tore, became necessity. ~

which they say that the condition OF
the company requires an immediate

n Ret t'red by an Order From Rome.
ST. LOUIS, June 4.-Archbishop
Kendrick has been deposed by Rome.
"A cablegram announcing his deposition
and the appointment of Rev. John J.
Kain as tho new archbishop of st.
Louis was publicly read during solemn
pentecostal services at the cathedral
Sunday morning by Vicar General
Muehsiepen.
| The cablegram was signed by Cardi-
nal Project Ledochowski of the congre-
CATION of the propaganda, and stated
that the action had been taken at a
meeting held on May 81.
The effect Of the decision was to ef-
fectually retire Archbishop Kendrick
from all rights, titles and privileges
pertaining to the archbishopric of st.
Louis. Under supplementary instruc.
tions, expected from the propaganda,
the order will come to provide a fitting
annuity for him out Of the resources Of
the archdiocese. Though matter of
urgent necessity,
The Compulsory Retirement
of the venerable metropolitan will come
Las a rude shock to the Catholics of his
archdiocese. Archbishop Kendrick was
in no sense provincial. His attitude at
the Vatican council, which declared the
dogmas of papal infallibility and the
immaculate conception gained him a
worldwide reputation and involved him
in ontroversies with the greatest theo'
logians within and without his church.
The deposition, or retirement, Of
Archbishop Kendrick is the result of a
petition to the propaganda setting forth
his mental incapacity and the danger.
Gus condition of the business affairs of
the diocese.
