would then creep through, and once out
in the hall escape through the roof Of the
jail could DO accomplished very easily.

prisoners were TO hide in dark closet

Continuation of the Debate Oh the
Money Question.
Copyright 1895, by Azel F. Hatch.l
CHICAGO, July 23.-No evidences of ia
tigue or lack of breath were apparent in
either of the principals in the II Horr- Har-
vey debate when time was called for the
fourth round to-day.
MIR. Harvey led with a vindication of
the Importance of the debate, which ne
said rested upon five historical reasons.
First, for 200 years prior to the demoneti-
Zation of silver in 1873, silver was seek
ing the miuts OF the world for coinage
into money. Second, for 200 years
prior to 1873 there was no variation
between the commercial and the legal
ratio OF 104 to /. During the twenty
two years since 1873, however, the
two ratios had separated widely and gone
from l3} to l to about 81 TO /. Third, for
33S years prior to 1873 the quantity ratio
between silver and gold ranged from 56
of silver to | of gold to 4 OF silver 10 / OF
gold, but Notwithstanding this variation
The commercial ratio had clung tena-
ciously TO the legal ratio. Fourth, the
price of silver in the London market up
TO 1874 was principally stationary. while

at his desk to-day, after an absence of six
weeks in connection with the delivery in
London of $50, 600, ,0O0 bonds to the Bel
mont Morgan syndicate, much improved
by his trip. Mr.. Curtis to-day talked in
terestingly in regard to his visit and the

successfully completed, and l am glad to

feeling regarding investments In Gnlted
States stocks, bonds and other securities,
both public aud private, better than L had
expected. There is very large amount
OF money in England awaiting invest

ers were assured that the value OF what
they bought would not be reduced by
legislation regarding our currency, that
large amounts would flow TO this side OF
The water, and great prosperity would
follow III this country.
Il was surprised TO find England en-
loving an American summer. During
my stay in London there were but two or
three light showers, the remainder OF the
days being warm and bright. In fact,
the continued drought has had very
serious effect upon the agricultural inter-
ests.
''The political excitement was much
marked. and the dissolution Of Parliament
and the elections were very interesting to
an outsider. a point, however, which
struck me very forcibly was that the
change of government made no change in
the daily business of the departments,
and though 1 was in the Treasury after

there was no attendant line of Office seek
