SPANS FLEET orr CUnA.
More Vessels 10 BE Sent to Impress
the American Republics.

London. Oct. 23.-The Central News has
a dispatch from Madrid saying that the
government has decided upon the arming
of several of the Spanish transatlantic
companys steamers and the conversion
of the old cruisers Numaneia and Victoria
into modern warships. The steamers
Reina Maria Cristina, Leon XIII. Alfonso
XII, Alfonso XIII, Montevideo and Pdeso
Trustegui will be armed with fourteen
centime guns, by the beginning of Decem-
ber, and will be sent to Cuba This action
on the part of the government is gen.
orally regarded as a preparatory measure
against the recognition of the insurgents
as belligerents by any American govern
ment.
1t is accepted as a certainty that Spain
would regard such recognition on the part
of any government as a violation of in
ternational law and would Immediately
place the nation upon a war footing and
authorize Spanish vessels to capture upon
the seas merchantmen belonging to the
nations so recognizing the insurgents.
Madrid, Oct. 23.-A cabinet meeting held
yesterday decided to send the torpedo
boats Ariete, Halcon and Azor to Cuba,
and also purchase Immediately 1,500 Man
ser rifles for the use of the Spanish
troops in Cuba.

The national democratic administration
Is giving to the country a well admins
tered government. The various depart
ments are being honestly, economically
ana wisely conducted. No scandals have
disgraced them; no irregularities have oc-
cuIfedi no abuses Of power have been
tolerated; no extreme partisanship has
characterized them. With honor, dignity
ana dhgence they are discharging their
duues as public trusts for the welfare of
the whole people
We are indeed enjiying an era Of
good government and no good citizen can
furnish adequate reasons for desiring a
cnange Of parties in the control of national
affairs.
Personal liberty the senator said was
one OF the principal issues involved in
Jne state campaign and upon this text he
denounced the New York police commits
slonerS Tor their strict narrow and arbi-
trary Interpretation of the Sunday Iiouor
laws.
The senator concluded as follows: Eel
low democrats, the moral effect of a DEM
ocralc victory in this state cannot be
oVerestlmated. 1t will pave the way for
the great contest of 1896 and make our
struggle easier. The democracy of other
states are watching our battle with inter
est, hoping that the great Empire STATE
Will once more take her old place in tn.
democratic column. Let us not disap-
point them. Let us be true to our country,
our party and ourselves and victory will
crown our efforts. Let New York be the
star in the east for the encouragement
OF the democracy of the nation"
Senator Hill was frequently interrupted
by applause. When he concluded his
speech he announced that he was going

Campbell in the latter's campaign. He

BLANCHE LAMONT's BODY.
Miss Cunningham Testides as to
What Durrant Told Her.

San Francisco, Oct. 23.-Aiiss Carrie Gun
ningham was called to the stand in the
Durrant trial this morning. She testified
that she was a reporter on the Examiner
and had until recently, acted in that ca
pacity on the Chronicle. She had known
Durrant since Aug IS last and from that
date until Oct. 8, had visited him daily.
She entered his cell only once and then
in company with others She generally
stood on a stool outside the cell door and
talked through the wicket
At this point District Attorney Barnes
asked the following questions:
Did Durrant, on the second of October,
show you an envelope on which was writ
ten, Not to be opened except in case of
my convictiOnY "
The defense interposed an objection and
the court sustained it on the ground that
it could not be shown what the envelope
contained.
Miss Cunningham testified further that
on Oct. ! Durrant had stated TO her that
when he was fixing the sunburners in the
church he heard a noise and followed it
to the belfrey, where he saw Blanche La

SILVER COINAGE SUSPENDED.
An order Issued stopping the Work
at the Various Mints.

Washington, Oct. 23.-All silver coinage,
except that Of subsidiary silver, has been
ordered suspended after Nov / next, by
Secretary Carlisle. In carrying out this
policy the New Orleans, La. mint will be
practically closed and dsmantled after
that date and Its seventy employees fur
loughed without pay. A letter containing
these Instructions as to disseminating
coinage operations at New Orleans was
mailed to superintendent overton Cabe
on Monday night The practical effect
Of the action taken by Secretary Carlisle
is to convert all the silver bullion held by
the government into gold obligations un-
der the parity clause of the Sherman act
Secretary Window, in October, 1891, con-
strued the law to mean that all the sher-
man notes issued against bullion were re-
deemable in gold This construction of
the law was concurred in by his success
sors, Secretaries Foster and Carlisle, and
has been in practical operation during
the past six years. Under IL sac, i93, ,522
have been redeemed.
The coinage ofssllver bullion into stand
ard silver dollars operates to prevent
Sherman notes being issued upon them.
Silver certificates, however, are issued
against standard silver dollars and are
redeemable only in silver. Thus from
the same base. the silver bullion and .
and silver coined into standard silver dol
lars and silver certificates issued upon
them become silver obligations. The SUI
perVision of the coinage of standard silver
dollars, therefore, leaves the bullion silver
free from any further liability of con-
version into silver obligations.
The closing up of the New Orleans mint
leaves only the United States mints at
Philadelphia and San Francisco in oper-
alton. At these mints only gold and sub
sidiary silver Will hereafter be coined uu-
less congress should direct to the contrary.
and its action should be approved by he
President.
Of the employees in the New Orleans
mint thirty are women and forty men
Secretary Carlisle for some time past
has been considering the advisability OF
stopping all silver coinage except that
of subsidiary coins, and since he has been
1882. .32 standard silver dollars have been
minted. Since July last only 80 standard
silver dollars have been coined. The coin
age of standard silver dollars during the
past few years has been as follows. lsg5

ST. LOUIS CITY HALL.
The S2,OOO,OOO Structure Found to BE
Practically worthless.

st. Louis. Oct. 23.-As the committee in
vestigating the work on the partially COM
pleted city hall proceeds with their la
bors, they find fresh evidences of fraud in
its construction. The iron columns in the
main buildings have been found to con-
tain blow holes which were concealed by
iron, cement and paint; the trusses are
insufficient to sustain the weight of the
roof; the towers are believed to be unable
to resist high winds, the thing of the roof
Is defective and the building without drain
pipes or sewer connections. In brief the
Immense pile of granite and iron which
has already cost the city over $2,000W0 is
practically worthless as an official build
ing and will have to be reconstructed.

COLUMBIA FURNACE NEWS.

Can you fod room in your valuable
paper for these few lines.
Owing TO the severe storm we did not
get your PAPER of last week, VIC having
received no M all since Thursday night,
but hope the snow drifts will soon be
opened up so that uncle" Harrison can
get through. There seems to be a great
deaf of talk through the surrounding
country about the good people of Colum-
bia Furnacs, and wondering what they
have to eat and how they get it. We adj
nit we have no millionaire here as well
as other places in the South, and 1t is
true that money 10 scarce and very little
of it handled in the past two years, but
there has been mo famine here yet and
wont be soon. While there might be a
few quite old women that are needy and
we can say one OF two families that need
ed some help, but they have been we'll
cared tor while the resi- Of our people
live as we'll or better than those who are
always expressing so much sympathy for
them.
Three or four years ago, when these
furnaces were IN operation you could
often see a vehicle travelling along the
road and when the driver came in contact
with board fence or building along the
route be would bring his horse to sud
den stop and out with his paint brush
and commence lettering, go to so and 80
for cheap clothing, or boots and shoes"
Two or three be sf wagons came regularly
twice week bringing an old tough COW
which they would try to sell for year
ling beef Every body that had bushel
of corn. oats or wheat would come
riding and old horse that coull hardly
carry them for want of the grain, they
having starved HIM to bring it to the
| Furnace to sell.
The parties that now own the property
could have wood enough cut in the next
sixty or ninety days to make charcoal to
run their furnace for the next five years,
and they would not need to hire a chop
per in the vicinity of the furnace, nor
would they have to pay twenty-five cents
a cord to have 1t chopped. Why, chop
pers would take the wings of the morn
ing and flock in here from the four corn
ers Of the earth.
You will find the people who live at the
furnace good, law abiding citizens, who
have no need for jails, whipping posts
&c. We have preaching here now by two
denominations, Reformed and United
Brethren. When the furnace was II
operation l think six denomination
preached here regularly.
We hope the day is not far distant
when this property will be again il
operation. And if we are so fortunate
mark what tell You, for it will DO
plain proof of what now claim, Their
will be ton hungry men who will wan
work to every one of those who now li7'
