THE ADVANCED SILVER.

A New York Broker Believes the Move
ment is Purely Speculative.
NEW YORK, April activity in silver,
which has been noted of late, continued
yesterday when 800, 900 ounces were sold
in the market here.
In speaking last night of the silver
market and the causes and products of
the present movement, Mr.. Starr Colgate,
of the firm of Nesslage, Colgate & Co..
said:
The movement began on receipt of
the news from Germany favoring BIZ
metallic conference. 1t was helped when
& motion that seemed to lean toward
such conference was made in the Eng
lish house of commons. The news of
peace negotiations between Japan and
China, to carry a large indemnity in sill
yer also had propelling force. A good
deal of silver is now under lock. 1t will
come out fast enough when spectators
believe that the advance is over.
81 cannot see in the movement" Mr..
Colgate said, much beyond the specula-
tive feature. Talk of bimetallic action
by Germany and England seems to have
subsidized. If it is to be revived it must
be done by those countries A debtor
/ country like the United States cannot
lead in such a movement. We have had
silver troubles enough without inviting
others.
SIN regard to an indemnity to be paid
by China, it has seemed to me that gold
might be demanded. Dispatches speak
more of silver, but Japan is earning a
reputation as a country of advanced
ideas, and it may be that talk there of
! putting the finances on gold basis may
be emphasized in the demands on China.
II am inclined to look on the present
movement as speculative"
A gentleman who is thoroughly famil-
lar with the market for silver bullion,
but who declined TO allow the use of his
name, talked upon the causes that had
! led TO the recent advance in the price of
silver. He said: I'm order to thoroughly
| understand this matter it is necessary to
! 90 back as far as 1890. At that time tho
/ Sherman silver bill was in force, and sill
yer had gone up to 100 or Whereabouts.
/ From that until this it has fallen
with few slight fluctuations, steadily,
until in June, 1898, it touched SO. The
decline in price was brought about
through the repeal of the Sherman sill
yer bill, and the more recent action of
the British government in repeating the
law permitting free silver coinage in
India.
"Of course many reasons can be as
signed to account for the advance in
price, but it is probably as largely due to
speculation as to other causes When
| war was declared between China and
Japan up went the price of silver. be-
cause the silver people argued and be-
lieved that the munitions of war must be
paid in silver, since both China and
Japan are silver countries. 1t looks as if
it were being put up now on talk of peace
between China and Japan and the former
country paying to the latter country q
large indemnify"

&c Is Elected With Imposing Ceremonies
Arthur wellesley Peel Soon to Retire.
The prospective resignation of Arthur
Wellesley Peel, speaker of the house of
commons, and his probable elevation to
the peerage is at present one of the lead
ing topics of discussion in English po-
litical circles. For IL years Speaker
Peel has presided with skill and discre-
tion over one of the most turbulent leg
islative bodies in the world and is ac-
counted the strongest speaker the com
mons has seen since the late Lord Ev-
ersley.
The speaker is the youngest son of
the great Sir Robert Peel and a godson
of the Duke of Wellington. He was
born in 1929 and educated at Elton and
Ballot college, Oxford. In 1865 he en-
tered parliament for Warwick and has
represented that borough since then.
The speaker is nominated by the party
in power and is elected by unanimous
reclamation. AS a rule. too, a speaker
is reelected as often as he pleases.
The ceremonies attending the election
of speaker, which will soon be re- enact
ed at Westminster, are rather interest

RESIGNED TOO SOON.

Had Not Judge johnson Resigned He
Could Have Drawn Salary for no Work.
The Shawnee county circuit court will
cease to exist tomorrow. The Weekly
Advocate, official state paper, will in its
issue tomorrow, print the act of the leg
islature which does away with this court
Judge ]. B. Johnsons resignation took
effect yesterday, and for one day the
court has existed with no presiding
judge.
The abolition of the court leaves a
peculiar state of affairs. Judge Johnson
was reelected two years ago for a term
of four years. 1t is held that while the
court may be abolished its judge is emit
tied to a salary for the full term for
which he was elected. Had not Judge
Johnson resigned he could have drawn
his salary for two years more with abso-
lutely nothing to do. The salary is
$4,000 a year.
The lawyers say that a judge cannot
be legislated out of office This being
the case Governor Morrill, could, if he
wished, appoint some one to draw Judge
Johnson's salary, with absolutely no Off
cial duties to perform. He will probably
not do so, however
Some of the lawyers of Topeka
are beginning to feel now
that nothing was gained by
having the court abolished. The sal
AIRY is paid by the state. and the only ex-
pense to this county for the existence OF
circuit court would be ii bailiff, and a
jury when necessary. Quarters for such
court as this are provided for in the
new court house When the state would
have been willing to give Topeka two
judges, and pay for them, nothing was
gained by rejecting one of them.
TitiCants would than have their choice
of two courts and two judges, and there
would be no danger of the court becom
ing ciogged or overwork ed, or justice de
layed
