The silver Debate.

CHICAGO, july cb--In the Horr.
Harvey silver debate this afternoon
Horr began by saying that tho i12H
grain silver dollars coined between
tho years Of 1853 and 1873 were all
coined of the Philadelphia Mint and
from foreign silver coins which had
accumulated in tho treasury under
the act Of Congress which made
them receivable but did not permit
them to be paid out again. That was
why silver was coined at less than tho
bullion value. After 1853 tho Gov.
eminent did not coin n dollar Of our
silver for private owners.
Harvey In reply denied the state.
ment aud said he could not prove It,.
llo presented the mint statement
showing that over 100000 in sij vor
dollars had been coined at the Mint
ut Carson City, Nevada. In 1870.
Harvey then resumed the discussion

The Dc Lamar Mint.

United States District Attorney
Jones returned last evening from a
visit to DeLamar, where he went to
look into the matter OF the use of
money in that neighborhood not per-
mitted by the law OF tho United
States. The Dc Lamer Company, a
very large concern, has been issuing
aluminium coins OF different face val
ne in payment of demands against
them, which have been in general
circulation in that section, as well as
in portions of Utah. This the United
States officials held, was in violation
OF the laws, and was similar to is,
SUING counterfeit money. This con
pany claimed as their reason for u.s.
ing these instead of government coins
that it was unsafe for them to trans
port gold and silver back into the
camp, and that as the money was not
intended for general circulation they
were violating no law. The United
States District Attorney. however
believed differently. and arrested the
superintendent of the company. Az
ter the arrest was made an examina-
tion had and the superintendent held,
but allowed to go on his own recog-
nizance. Later Mr.. Jones saw Man.
ager Robinson OF the DeLamar Com.
pany at Salt Lake and explained the
situation to him. The manager al
first claimed that he was violating nc
iay and could so prove to the satis'
faction Of the District Attorney. but
he would telegraph the company's at.
torneys in New York and get theil
opinion. The New York attorney
teiegraphed Mr.. Jones that all hi
demands would be complied with am
the atin" money withdrawn from cir
culntion, and gold and silver coins o
tho United States replace it.
Now that the matter has been salts
factorily settled. it is moro than likel.
that the charge against the superin
teDdent will be dismissed. Ga

q tRlnged for crimes OF which hi
Is innocent. He said he knew hi
would be found ont sooner or later &c
resolved to surrender himself. Dis
trict Attorney Lindsay wassummoned
and to him Barrett told a straight
story, He said he was working at the
Berlin restaurant on Folsom street,
near Fourth, San Francisco, when he
saw Minnie Williams, Blanch La.
mont and Dnrrant on a street car.
Barrett says he Immediately took a
fancy to the young girls and to try to
make their acquaintance boarded the
car. He a y rts. when Durrant and
the girls alighted he followed them.
Durrant and Miss Lamont entered
the church, Miss Williams remaining
outside. Barrett entered the church
unseen, and hid behind the pew. To
stop escaping gas, Durrant went to
the roof to stop the leak. Miss La.
mont walked to the rear OF the church
and Barrett says he seized and at
tempted to assault her. To prevent
her screaming he choked her. Sac
dropped limp and lifeless to the floor,
Fearing Miss Williams would be 8
witness against him, Barrett says he
crept up behind her and stabbed her
with a knife, which he had taken
from u restaurant. He says Durrant
had been overcome by gas and was
dazed. Barrett says to hide the
crime he carried both bodies to the

OF the question of primary and credit
money. He said as soon a. there uas
an over issue OF credit money it caus.
ed a distrust OF the Governments
ability to pay. This caused a run on
the treasury for the redemption of
credit money and the only remedy
was to either increase the amount OF
primary money. or u decrease of the
amount OF credit money.
The amount Of gold was estimated
at from s4OO.OOO.OOO to 0 900,
and of u credit money about slOO,.
100000.
This was too much credit money, he
said, and accounted for the countIy's

was to increase tho primary money
by remonetizing silver. Every mo.
ment's delay would endanger the
safety OF the republic.
