Nomination Notification and Take
Willie Home With Him.

Bath, Me-, Aug. 10.-When the Bos-
ton steamer Kenebec left this port
this morning Arthur Sewall was on
board. He was on his way to Boston
from which place he will go direct to
New York to receive the notification

ENFORCING SUNDAY LAW.
What Can Be Done in New Orleans.
May Be Done in San Antonio.

May be Done III san Antonio.
New Orleans, La. Aug. 10.-Satur-
day night at II o'clock all the stores
in the city were closed and stayed
closed, and tightly closed at that, I'M
til Monday morning. Last Sunday
the law was enforced, requiring the
closing of all places on the Sabbath
and everything considered it operated
fairly We'll There were number of
places that stationed pickets on the
street to warn them of the approach
of the officials. These were few and
far between, however, the majority of
stores closing up.
A few people, saloon keepers for the
most part had the temerity to boldly
do business, as usual was the case
before the Sunday Rest league began
it's crusade for one day of rest each
week. They were at once locked up
and have had to appear before the
courts to answer to the charge. A
number of the cases came up yester-
day for a preliminary hearing and
nearly all of them were bound over
to the Criminal court, which has ju-
risdiction to sentence them for the
offence committed.
Yesterday the saloon keepers in this
city were made to close their doors.
The policemen were instructed to
keep a sharper lookout even than they
did last Sunday. In addilIon to this
the officers of the law had the assist
ance of large number of citizens
who are in favor of having the Sun
day law enforced. Nearly all of these
gentlemen are members Of the Sunday
Rest league.
On the last Sabbath they only noted
the saloons they incidentally saw
open, but yesterday they bestirred
themselves and no places were allow
ed to remain open except fruit stands
and restaurants.
The only place at which a person
could quench his thirst was DIT the
lake resort. The retail grocery clerks
gave a picnic at West End and were
refused a permit by the mayor to sell
liquor.

Honolulu, Aug. 10.-Mr. p. E. Grons,
ex-minister of France, leaves for San
Francisco today to float the refunding
loans. He expects to sell 100000
or 100000 worth of Hawaiian

give it as their opinion that the vista
ton was genuine Asiatic cholera, as
most of the local physicians pronOunc-

Private Jacobson, F, Fifth cavalry,

will go on three months furlough.
The assistant secretary of war
says: Gan examination of the rec
ords of the department gives the i'm
preston that an abnormal number of
non-commisioned officers, as COM
pared with the number Of privates,
are placed upon the retired list, and
an examination of the dates Of the
appointment and promotion of retired
non-commisioned officers tends very
much to strengthen the idea that
there is growing tendency to pro-
mote enlisted men in view of their
early retirement. If an enlisted manis
not fit to be non-commisioned officer
in the active service, it is more than
an improperly to promote him short
~ before the end of his three years
service for the purpose of enabling
him to receive greater pay and allow
ances from the government than he
otherwise would" The assistant sec
rotary does not say word about pre-
noting officers before retiring or max
ing way for them when about to re-
tire.

AGAINST DICE PLAYING.

New Orleans, Aug. 10-Begining to-
day the police will be required to ar
rest and the courts will undertake to
punish all violators of a new ordin-
ance of the city, which prohibits the
playing of dice.
1t provides that whoever shall be
convicted of gambling with dice for
money shall be fined in a sum not ex-
ceeding $25 or be imprisoned not more
than 80 days.
The ordinance does not only apply
to the gamblers who on the street
shoot dice for money. 1t provides also

any building who shall permit in or
or about the same or on the premises
connected Herewith, any person to
gamble with dice for money, shall be
fined not more than $25 or be impris-
oned for not more than 80 days.
As there is an abundance of dice
playing going on in town, not only in
regular gambling dens, but in the rear
of numerous saloons, the police will
have their hands full in trying to run
violators of the law to earth.
The state law on the subject does

PROFITS FOR MINE OWNERS.
They Propose a Profit of Seven Dol

VI a<hN'Nh'
Washington, Aug. 10.-EX-Congress-
man Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, who
is visiting Washington, expresses the
opinion that there is one point in CON
nection with the currency question
that has not as yet received attention
which will be thoroughly ventilated
as the campaign progresses, and which
which will have large influence with
voters. This point" said Mr.. Buck
alew, lis the enormous profit which
will accrue to silver miners in the
event of the enactment of a free coin
age bill. L think when the people come
fully to understand this it may cause
them to ponder awhile before giving
adherence to the silver cause. The
difference between the coin and bull
lion value of the metal will go into
the pockets of the bullion owners, and
is a clear donation on the part of the
rest of the people. The country has
now absorbed about all it can take.
and the only possible way to increase
the volume of silver in use Is to do
away with paper money of small de-
nominations"
The extent to which the bullion
owners would be benefited by the
passage of free coinage law is east
ly computed. The bullion value of
silver is at present about zoe per
ounce. If free coinage should be es-
tablished it would be increased to it's
coin value, which is $1.291a per ounce.
The difference between those figures
would represent the profit to the bull
lion owner, which now goes to the
government, and is known as the
"seigniorage." The capacity of the
minis is about 100000 per month,
say $5OO0O,OO0 per year. At the pres
ent price of silver bullion, the annual
profits to the owners of that metal I'M
der free coinage would be about $20,-
600 1000.
Taking an ounce of silver and COM
pairing it with an ounce of gold for
the purpose Of coinage, we have these
results: One ounce of gold of stan
dard fineness, that is, 900 parts of
pure gold to 100 parts Of alloy, will
coin in gold dollars $3.50. Sixteen
ounces of silver of standard fineness,
that is, 900 parts of pure silver to 100
parts of alloy, will coin $3.50 in stan
dard silver dollars of the existing
weight. These 10 ounces of silver
can be purchased today at the rate Of
20 cents per ounce, which would be
for the sixteen ounces $11.20. On an
investment Of $11.20, therefore, there
would be under free coinage a profit
to the investor of $40. That is TO
say, any man could go into the mar
ket, purchase 1000 ounces of silver
bullion, which can be purchased today
for $1,120, and from this there can
be coined $500 of full legal tender
quality. That quantity of silver bull
lion under free coinage could be taken
to the mint and the holder would
realize a profit of $40 on an invest
ment of $1,120.
