FERDINANDEZ,

Minister OF Finance.
The resumption of specie payments
by Chile, which occurred on last Sat
urday, promises to furnish some inter-
esting lessons on coinage legislation.
Reports from there state that the gov
ernment tried to familiarize the people
with the new forms of silver and gold
coin by getting out preliminary issue.
These were quickly exchanged for the
old paper money, but as soon as the
novelty had worn off, the people were
glad to go back to the more cOnven-
lent form of paper currency. Another
embarrassment occurred when the gov
ernment found that coin was being eX-
ported in great quantities. The new
specie payment law fixed the ratio be-
tween the metals at Al to 1. This ig
nored the current ratio of the remain.
der of the world that in the London
market at the present time being about
81 to 1. As a result of this difference,
gold bullion began to flow oUAQf Chile
at an alarming rate. The silver coins
were also exported, because the law
provided that they should contain 444
grains of pure silver, which made
them worth intrinsically more than the
current silver dollar. Thus both gold
and silver were being drained out of
Chile, so that the government ordered
the mint to stop further coinage. There
is much interest to learn what the re-
suit will be of this latest step.

JUDGE LONGS PENSION.
Commissioner Lochren Had a
Right to Materially
Reduce 1t.
His Ruling Is Upheld In a Decision
by the Court of APP
pealS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 5.-The
pension case of Judge Charles D. Long of
Michigan, which has been before the local
courts for some time. was finally deter
mined to-day by the Court of Appeals, the
Commissioner Of Pensions coming out VIC
torious, though the probabilities are that
the case will now be taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
About year ago Commissioner of Pen
slons Lochren caused the pension of Judge
Long to be reduced from $75 to $50 per
month. Subsequently the case came be-
fore Judge Bradley of the District Supreme
Court and he decided in effect that the
Commissioner of Pensions had no author
ity to reduce the pension.
The Court of Appeals to-day reversed
that decision, holding that pension is not
vested right, except in a very limited
sense, as shown by the act of December q,
1888; that the courts cannot interfere in
matters of this kind, and that the Com
missioner had perfect right to review the
acts of his predecessors.

OFFICIALLY BUTCHERED,
SiCkening Scenes at the Exc

ClaVigo.
Fired Upon Three Times by Span
ish Soldiers Before Death
Came.

MADRID, SPAIN, June 5.-Captain
Clavigo, who shot and seriously wounded
Captain General Prima Ribera after the
latter had refused him the hand of his
daughter on Monday, was shot to-day, he
having been sentenced to death by court
martial. He displayed marvellous forti-
tude and composure.
Captain Clavigo walked to the prison
van smoking cigarette and bowed to the
crowd assembled within the prison gate.
They acknowledged his courtesy by cheer
ing loudly for the captain. The prison
van, surrounded by gendarmes, proceeded
to the square of San Isadore, on the bank
of the Manzanares River. There Clavigo
alighted and walked to the center of the
square, which was lined with troops on
three sides. The captain, when he reached
the required position, bandaged his own
eyes and then again bowed to the people.
The officer in command of the firing
squad then gave the order to fire and
Clavigo fell.
LONDON, ENG, June "a dispatch
from Madrid says that the soldiers who exc
cuted Clavigo had to fire at him three
times. Clavigo first fell with three bullets
in his head, and he still moved after a SOL
der had fired another shot into his head
from under the chin. He did not die until
another soldier fired bullet through his
heart. The scene caused great excitement
among the Mortified spectators.

that the sheepmen have thrown 15O armed

million acres were illegally appropriated.
The evil has not become serious enough
to require drastic measures, but as a num-
Der of complaints have been received, dis
trict attorneys in the West have been in
structed to prosecute any one infringing
on the public lands. In case this does not
have the desired effect, troops NAV be
asked for.

MAKING HARRISONS FIGHT.
EEktns and Depeac Openly Present Thei,
Chotee for President.

Etkins and DepelC Openly Present Their
Choiee for President.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 5.-There
was decided stir among the prominent
Republicans now in the city when it was
learned this morning, on what appeared to
be good authority, that Senator-eIect
Elkins had come out f1atfooted for Harri-
son for the Presidential nomination, and
that Mr. Depew had Endorsed the decision,
saying that the ex-President would also be
his first choice. For six months Mr..
Elkins has avoided saying who he thought
should receive the nomination, merely
abiding to the record of Harrison in the
past administration and remarking that a
Presidential candidate should not be picked
out SO long in advance.
The announcement of Mr. Elkins' posi-
tive declaration in favor of Harrison's can
didacy is more important in view of the
position of West Virginia in nominating
conventions of the Republican party.
Mr.. Elkins played prominent part in
nominating Blaine in 1884, and in 1888,
when it was seen that Mr.. Blaine's
nomination was hopeless, Elkins hoped to
turn the tide toward Harrison and cleverly
manipulated his campaign in the conven-
ton. Among the Republicans are num-
Der who look upon the Depew harmony
dinner as simply Harrison boom in dis
guise. They say that Mr.. Elkins has long
intended announcing the candidacy of
Harrison, and that be had been carefully
laying his plans in order to lessen Nc
Kinley's influence in Office. It is asserted
that he lent his influence to the Foraker
forces in Ohio in order to lessen the influ-
ence OF Mckinley, and his purchase of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette is quoted
as an evidence of the care with which he
prepared his plans, and this papers advo-
cacy of Harrison's candidacy, it is expected,
will shortly be vigorous. AS one of the
leading Republican newspapers not only
in Ohio but of the region included in the
States of Indiana, Tennessee, West Vir-
ginia and Kentucky also, the Commercial
Gazette's influence is expected to be poten-
tial
