xHn ISSUE sQUARELY DRAWN.

The announcement Of Mr.. Bslfour in
the house OF commons that. in the
present state of English sentiment, any
attempt to reach an international agree
ment as to silver coinage would be In
opportune, settles the question OF BIZ
metallism, so far Is the cooperation
of other nations Is concerned, and
brings the issue squsrely down to the
independent action of the United States
for the free coinage of silver on the
basis Of Is to 1. Mr.. Balfour Ia him
self bimetallist, and there are many
Englishmen OF prominence who hold
to the same views, but his declaration
settles the matter so far as England
Ia concerned, and 1t is just as we'll as
it Is. Now, the silver men know ex-
actly what they have to depend, upon,
and those who are really friends of the
white metal will hail 'this announce
ment as simplifying the issue in this
country.
There Ia now no chance to indulge in
platitudes and evasions. Those who are
DESTROYS of remaining non-oommittal
Will have no further chance to straddle.
International bimetallism hereafter 10
the dullest mini will mean monometal-
llsm, and from now the issue will be
fought squarely upon It's merits and
right here at home. Henceforth it will
be useless to try and deceive the people
with such silly twaddle. Silver coinage
ct 1o to or gold monometallism are
now the questions before the peo-
pie OF the United States. as they really
have boon for she past year or more
notwithstanding the efforts Of interested
politicians to befog the public mind on
this question.

TEE State Department. according to
edvices from Washington. Is not at all
pleased with the courHe of Mr. Eustis
the Ambassador to France. He is thought
to have expressed his views too freely In
his London speech, and also to have
been indiscseet in his uttersnces In re-.
gard to Spain in the late Paris inter-
view. These lspses, In connection with
his delay in carrying out the instruc-
lions of She Government relative to the
case OF ex-Consul Waller, have no,
favorsbly impressed the administration
with Mr.. Eustis' ability IS diplomat
or as to his energy and frmness in the
discharge Of his duties. On the whole,
whether Washington officials will adj
init 1t or not 1t Is evident that the
American ambassador to France Ia not
the right man in the right place, and 10
would not be surprising. after the WAL
Ter incident has been closed, II he
should be invited to return to the United

WHAT VIRGINIA NEEDS

The movement for good roads in this
State is gaining strength and growing in
interest rapidly, and!in connection with
immigration bids fair to become leading
question before the people OF Virginia
A State with such variety of soil, such
splendid climate and such wonderful
resources az Virginia Is blessed with,
cannot be much longer kept behind in
the march of progress II her people will
arouse themselves to the Importance of
having good roads and filling up the idle
lands with Industrious and thrifty set
tiers. Already great interest is shown
by people in the North, the West and in
Europe IN Virginia lands. Prospector
are constantly arriving in various por-
tions OF the State, and real estate deal.
ers and others are frequently in receipt
OF letters from abroad making inquiries
as to prices, quality of the soil and the
advantages offered to settlers, all of
which prove that interest In Virginia
lands is increasing and that by con
certed &C ton and active exertions this
State will receive her full share of the
immigration which is now flowing into
the South from the Northern States and
foreign countries.
Already home seekers have purchased
land in various parts Of the State, and
these are sure to be followed by re-
latives and friends II they are Hospitality
received and are reasonably prosperous.
While efforts In the direction OF immi-
grafton are being made the agitation for
better roads should continue, as with
good roads will come more settlers, Inc
creased facilities for transportation. i'm
proved farms and better crops.
Secretary Morton says Virginia lands
are susceptible of great improvement,
and with small outlay can be made
equal to those of any State in the Union
This fact is patent to all Virginians who
have been West and noted the condi-
tions there and here We have all the
advantages OF climate, abundant tim
Der, numerous water courses, nearness
to market, good schools, churches and
a hospitable and enlightened people, and
II we fail in the race OF material pro.
gross it will be due to Indifference and
lack OF effort on our part. BY all means
let the work OF making good roads and
inducing home seekers to come hers
60 on.

HUSBAND AND WIFE sU1cIDE.
Found in a Room at the American House
Boaton,

Found In a Room at the American House
Boston.
BosrON, August 24.-Employes Of the
American House, this city, found the
bodies OF Lewis Hammond, supposed to
have been commercial traveller from
Des Moines, Iowa, and his wife, Kate,
about o'clock this afternoon in room
"a, which they had occupied since Mon
day last. There Is every indica ton
that both committed suicide by taking
chloral.
The couple came to the American
House Sunday afternoon and registered
as "Lewis Hammond and wife, New
York" They went at once to their
room. Mrs. Hammond did not appear
again, her husband stating that she
was suffering from nervous prostration
and requested that she be updisturbed.
Hammond appeared about the hotel
himself until Thursday night. After
that he was not seen again and late this
afternoon, when two employees knocked
at the room door there WAS no response
The door was forced in and both were
found dead. The woman was in bed and
the man was partially dressed.

THE PEACH CROP

Peaches are still comparatively scarce
and high in this section. Georgia being
too far away and freight rates too high
for any benefits from the abundant crop
there to be experienced here. The
Delaware and Maryland growers are,
however. in their glory; but the scarcity
elsewhere and the heavy demand
further North for the product of their
orchards again preeludes us from a full
enjoyment OF this luscious fruit. The
crop In this State, however. is not a
total failure, and enough OF the odds
and ends OF commerce in this line
reach Roanoke to give US q chance TO
get taste and even to supply our
wants temporarily, where money ia no
object.
AS to the Maryland and Delaware
peach crops it lie estimated that the
shipments thus far by rail and by boats
have been s,ooo,o 900 bushela, while the
prices are better than have been re-.
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1895-08-25

ceived for years. The early peaches
sold as low as a5 cents a bushel, but re-
Gently the prices ran from rs cents to
$3.50 for the finest quality.
1t is estimated that the money al
ready received for peaches will amount
to over 82,0oo,OO0. In addition, the
money paid for freight and other ex-
penses of the sbuyers falls into the
hands Of the people of the peninsula
The close of the season will find the
people Of the lower Delaware peninsula
and the eastern shore counties Of Mary
land with nearly Sa,0Oo,oOo in their
hands. Out of this, Of course, they have
to pay help and the basket makers, but
the prices received will leave g good
margin of profit.

Mr.. DENBF, United States minister
to China has, it appears after all been
very slow In prosecuting the investi ga
tion OF the Ku Cheng massscres, and it
ts said but for the fact that American 8
would be without proper protection In
China at this critical juncture. he would
be promptly recalled. Soon after the
massacre was reported Americans in
China cabled q protest against MIR.
Denby's dilatory conduct in the matter;
but the government at Washington
promptly denied this charge, and said
our minister was unusually vigorous.
1t now, however, appears that the State
Department was wrong, and that Mr..
DENLY is not only very poor minister,
but has actually taken umbrage at the
suggestions of the government as to
the policy to pursued by him, and be-
csuso DIT does not coincide with his own
ideas he is not doing what he has been
directed to do.

SENATOR QUAY, of Pennsylvania, has
beaten his enemies in the Republican
party of that State at the local conven-
tione; but shrewd politician that he Is,
he knows very we'll the power of money
as lubricator in running the machine,
and he is now providing with his char
acteristic sagacity for all contingencies
of that kind. a starter in that
direction has bent out q statement to
his friends reciting the fact that he has
heard of instances of attempted bribery
OF delegates and warning his followers
against the dangers in that line that
threaten them. In conclusion he eays
no bribery can be contaminated without
his full knowledge, and he informs the
public that he will make a full investi-
CATION and publish all the facts in con-
nection with every case. He says dele
gates have already been offered money
and positions, and he calls the attention
of his friends to such proceedings, feel
ing that he can rely upon their full
cooperation in preventing the designs
OF his enimies.

WASHINGTON. August s4.-Assissant
Secretary Of the Navy McAdoo, in view
OF what has been published concerning
the refusal of the Castine to salute the
French ct Tsmatave. Madagascar, de-
clded to make the facts In the case
public: Commander Perry informed
the Navy Department some time ago
that he did not salute she French Dag
at Tamatsve because Of the naval reg
ulations and OF our treaty with NADIA
gascsr, by which we had recognized that
governments as controlling the entire
island, and that, as there was no repre-
sentative of the native government on
shore at Tamatave he could not salute
that government and hence fred no
salute whatever.
There was misunderstanding between
the French authorities on shore and the
the officers of the Castine as to granting
pratique. When the first boat from the
Castine landed the French militory au-
thorities on shore, with a great deal of
excitement, attempted to prevent the
officers from approaching or speaking to
Mr.. Wetter, the consul, and his party,
saying that Ipratique had not been
given.

Castine's boat and calling on the gen.

truders During the incident there was
mnch excitement on the part of the
French representatives snd what might
have been serious trouble was only
Rverted by the GOODNESS and good iudp-
ment OF Ensign George r. Evans and
Paymaster Dent.
Commander Perry promptly hernandez
ample and full apologies both to hi.
officers and to his country for this In
cident. The French representatives
came aboard the Castine the next day
and made full and unreserved apologies
for their misbehavior. Afterwards ar
apology satisfactory to the consul wa.
offered and accepted by him. Thi.
