Mr.. DEPEW ON FREE COINAGE,
The New York Statesman Says 1t Is Not
Seriously Com sidcrcd In the Enst.

Chicago, H.. March Si.-1n an interview
to-day with a reporter for the Record.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, talking of the silver
question. said:
"The question of free coinage is not TAX
en- seriously in the Eastern states. 1t is
not mentioned in politics. 1t Is not dis
cussed in the papers. | Will venture that
90 per cent OF the people of the East are
In favor OF the gold standard without any
apologies. Where the alleged issue of sill
yer coinage is thought about at all, IT is
merely that it is all right for one TO take
1t up "A hobby If he has time. | do not
tion, because ! know that In the South
the sentiment is very nearly unanimous
for adopting the silver basis. And the
West also Clamors for the same end. But
II remains true that the East does not at
tach Importance to this fact, nor do our
people expect any serious step toward the
change"
May not the two sections unite on the
silver question and make II the one is
sue?'
"The Democrats will have to make
stagger at indorsing free coinage. to hold
old Democratic states; but it will not be
constitutional. The Republicans will steer
clear of the question. Either party, IL Is
safe to say, will only treat the matter SO
far politics may demand to hold their
old strengthand keep wind from the sails
of third party"
But some Of the party leaders have de-
clared for the restoration of silver to its
old monetary function" it was urged.
None of them mentioned the fact while
they were candidates Nothing but a mir

The safe at T. Mcshane's place OF bust

\ noise was heard in the vicinity of Nc
Shane's between $3.50 ana ! o'clock in the
morning, and it is believed that at that
time the safe robbers We're at work. Peo-
pie in the vicinity heard the noise. but it
did not disturb the policemen on their
beats, who might have been resting after
their aIduous duty of "abatiug ll5 nuis-
anCes in the Second precinct during the
mouth of March" The robbery was re
ported at the 81. Louis avenue police sta
tion, together with description of the
watch that was stolen, with the eXpecta-
tton that the description might lead 10 the
discovery of the thieves, The police con-
tented themselves with making mem
orandum on their report that MIR. Mo

Nothing was said about the robbery
around police headquarters yesterday, it
having been tho fixed policy of the police
for long time 10 suppress all such un-
favorable news. No clue has vet been
found to the watch with the hair chain,

There have been many workers among
novelsts IN the field of royal portraiture,
but 1t may be safely stated that few of
those who have cssayed this dubious path
have achieved more striking results than
NJ. Couperus. Majesty Is an extraordi-
narily vivid romance of autocratic imperi-
alsm and the main aim of the book is so
legitimate, and its treatment SO sympa-
thetic and artistic. that 1T is to be regretted
that the author should have adopted tho
portrait form at all. The striking but Sc
perficial resemblance between the leading
characters of the story and those of more
than one reigning imperial house Will no
doubt prove n bait to readers hungry for
personalities but the real merits of the
book-its dramatic intensity and powerful
