would be practically none, except the sil- yer miners in half dozen Rocky noun tain states and the silver producers Of Mexico. These few Rocky mountain states mined in 1892 and 1893 yearly av- craze of silver bullion worth $40 0,00O,OOO in the markets of the world If they could get free coinage they would re- ceive each year about so 900 silver dol lars for this same product; therefore the miners of these few states would be benefited something like $4O,000,000 per annum. Mexico in the same two years mined $24 ,000, ,000 each year, two-thirds Of which was sent into the United States, and for which two-thirds they got about $16,000000, whereas under free coinage they would get 32 900 silver dollars per annum for this same product, so that the two sections would receive annually $56,0000O0 more for their silver than they do at present.
 "I do not believe the south and central west will, when properly informed, wish to contribute by the free silver law $56,- 100000 to these miners. and we shall find in the end that they will not do it.
 As to the inquiry, should anything be done, l will say, first, the increased pro- duction of gold throughout the globe is growing so rapidly from year to year that within a short time there will De more than ample gold to do the business of the world. Secondly, we should have state banks. Congress, in my opinion, OuSHl lO pass a ldW removing the laX on circulation, and permit every state to have it's own banking laws, allowing state banks to issue circulation, thus af- fording elastic currency.
 ''In the outlook for the future I see nothing ahead but prosperity for the country for the next five or six years. There is the one thing which causes a great many capitalists to hesitate and to hold back, and that is the fear of a free coinage law Of course the enact ment of any such law would quickly lead to worse conditions than we have had at any time yet. But I am a firm believer that the American people will not permit such a law to be- enacted, and therefore base my faith upon period of increasing prosperity.
 'l may again call the attention of the farming class to one thing which, per hapS, some of them have overlooked, that is that the silver in a dollar coined at the rate of 16 to 1, as is now being ad- vocated can be bought in the market for 52 cents. The silver miner instead of selling it at it's market value, will under a free coinage law, take it to the mint, and the government would be obliged to pay him $1 for that which Is now only worth 52 cents. Therefore, as stated above, the parties to be benefited by any such law and those who are spend ing large amount of money to secure it's enactment, are the silver miners in few Rocky mountain states and Mex ico, who would pocket about $56, 900 900 per annum by it. while it would cost the balance of the country hundreds of mil lions of losses in the depreciation of values.

TALES OF THE SEA.
Awful Struggle in Cookie Shell--1he North Sea Sweeps Smaeks Steamer
 Sunk m Collision

Lowestoft, England, May 19.-The fish ing smack Vanduara of this port reports that on Thursday last, when fifty miles east southeast of LowestOft, she sighted large bark in a sinking condition. Her pumps were choked and she was show ing signals of distress. A gale was blow ing at the time, but the mate of the Van duara and one of her crew went to the bark in small boats. The Vanduara sailed in the vicinity all night, but saw no lights. In the morning the bark and the small boat had vanished without making a sight or sound.
 Shortly after the arrival of the Van duara the smacks Renovation and Flora Bell came into port bringing with them the Vanduara's small boat, which had been stove, and the bodies of four men, including that of the Vanduara's mate. There was d large gash in the mates forehead. On one of the bodies was found a knuckle-duster It is conject- ured that the small boat took off some of the crew of the bark and that they became panic stricken and struggled and fought with their would-be rescuers.
 Nothing is known of the other men who were on the bark, and it is sup posed that they were lost.

REVOLT IN CHIHUAHUA.
Natives Attack a Surveying Party Under an
 American and Kill Twenty

Fl Paso. Tex, May 9.-Information was received here last night of a bloody local revolt, which broke out in a set clement between the towns of Guada- lupe Calvo and Varvagama, in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, a few days ago. The trouble began when the natives liv- ing in the district attacked a surveying party under c. F. Morrison, an Ameri- can, and killed twenty of the party. The affair was reported to the comman- der of the American troops at Parral, who immediately started a detachment of 100 men to the scene. Last Wednesday the troops were assaulted by the natives and retreated, leaving half of their dead and wounded on the battle ground.
 The appointment of the American, Morrison, to survey government land, which is now occupied by native far mers,- caused the trouble. Morrison was to receive a certain portion of the land for his work. The natives number about 2000 men. Troops have been ordered for Chihuahua to quell the revolt. Morri- son escaped.

Operations to Be Resumed in Four Mines
 Tuesday-Alleged Shooting.
 Bluefields, W. Va, May 19.-It has been definitely settled that operations will be resumed in four of the largest West Vir- ginia mines on Tuesday. These are the Houston, Upland, Crozer and Pulaski They are in the heart of the Elkhorn dis trict. The militia are in readiness, but Governor McCorkle will not let them move until the strikers actually attack the works. If these operators go along successfully the strike cannot succeed.
 There was considerable firing at the various soldiers stationed at Pocahontas last night. The shooting was from the West Virginia side. In one case a bullet struck the door of a house at the works; in another the ball struck the earth within few feet of a soldier. The mis- creants keep themselves safely hidden in the brush and timber.

 son, Ky, Meet and Resolve.
 Henderson, Ky, May 19.-The sound money democrats had their inning here yesterday. Three hundred representa- tive bushes men and farmers of Hender- son and this county took action on the money question by adopting the following resolutions;
 We repudiate the declaration of the convention at Owensboro to the effect that it is a principle of the democratic party to coin both silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1, when the intrinsic and exchangeable value of the two metals in the worlds market make a gold dollar at that ratio worth nearly, if not quite $2 of silver. We adhere to the principle of the free coinage of both metals but only at such a ratio as may insure the equal power of every dollar at all times in the market and in the payment of debts. We hereby express our confidence in the efforts of the administration to sus- tain American credit at home and abroad and our confidence in our distinguished leader from Kentucky, John G. Carlisle, and we hereby recommend this conven- tion to appoint delegates to represent this convention in the sound money convention at Memphis.
 Word has been received that Secre- tary Carlisle will talk sound money here May 27

A SERIOUS MISTAKE.
Miss Rebecca Lewis Takes Dose of Pure Ammonia for Nervine-The Mistake
 Nearly Proves Fatal.

Miss Rebecca Lewis, the 17-year-old daughter of MT. H. P. Lewis, made a mistake yesterady that came near cost ing her her life.
 About Il o'clock Miss Lewis was suf- fering from a headache and intended to take a dose of nervine. Instead she got another bottle which contained pure, un- adulterated ammonia, poured out a table spoonful and immediately swal- lowed it. At. once she discovered her mistake and screamed for help. Telling her father what she had done he ran for a physician. In few minutes Dr. Cot ton arrived, but almost too late, for the ammonia had begun getting in its work.
 Several other physicians were sum moned and did what they could to re- lieve the young lady of the intense pain she was suffering. At late hour last night an Age-Herald reporter called at MT. Lewis residence on Seventeenth street. between Eighth and Ninth ave- nues, and learned that while the young lady was resting easy she is in no wise out of danger.
