MORTON FOR president,
A Letter Construcd ms n DecInrat tion
That He Will Rum

1owa's tLnd money democratic conven-
ton tomorrow will probably indorse Sec
retary Merton of Nebraska for the nomina-
tion for President in Indianapolis Mr..
Morton was invited to attend the Iowa con-
vention and speak. He was unable to do
so, but has written a letter, which is con-
sidered as practically announcing his will
ingliess 10 be considered presidential
candidate. The letter was written to Col.
l.. NJ Martin of Marshalltown, national
committeeman for Iowa In the sound mon.
ey democratic organization.
Its significance is chiefly in the fact that
Iowa sound money democrats have given
considerable discussion TO the advisabtlity
of instructing their delegation to Indian-
apolis for Mr.. Morton. In view of this his
letter is construed as a declaration that he
Will run If nominated, and along with this
goes the assumption that he will have the
backing of the Cleveland administration.
In his letter he says if after the free and
unlimited coinage of silver has been adopt
ed by the government of the United States
a silver dollar containing only 53 cents
worth of bullion can be made TO float at
parity with a gold dollar, why cannot q
silver watch be made by statute Just as
valuable as gold watch costing twice as
much? If you can put value into silver for
monetary purposes, you can put value into
silver fcr art purposes. for plate and for
jewelry with equal facility by a simple be
il enacted Of Congress.

A GREATA CROWD TO-DAY
Two Games With Cincinnati Prove q
~ Magnet,
Some Of the Detaus OF the First
Game-TAs Washington. Max
Ing = Good Record.

BEAUTIFUL afternoon, ladies' day and
two games for the price of one admission
drew large crowd to- National Park this
afternoon. At 2;;o clock the bleachers were
full, the right field 5O-cent seats were also
crowded, and the main stand held many
ladies. 1t is estimated that at the begin
ming CT the second game fully 5000 people
will be present.
Mercer and Farrell and Ehret and
Vaughn were the batteries in the first con-
test. Three runs were scored in the first
inning through the successive hitting of
the Cincinnati team and an apparent ina
bility of Mercer to keep the ball away from
the plate. Washington scored the first run
on beautiful exhibition Of the hit-and-
run game. From the first inning on Mercer
settled down and pitched very good ball.
Smiths playing at third was feature.
Ehret was apparently easy for the Sena-
tors, phenomenal fielding alone keeping the
locals down.
In the fourth inning the score was tied by
beautiful hitting by Brown and Cartwright.
OBrien went to first on force hit, Brown
followed with beautiful three-bagger and
Cartwright, who seems to have regained
his batting eye, corked out tWo-bagger

THEIR LONG LOST SON.

A Romantic Story of a Supposed
The State Department has been asked to
look into the case of Jerry Mccarthy, an
American railroad engineer. serving as
engineer on railroad in Mexico. who Is
reported to have been arrested by the Mex
lean authorities at Pedras Negras. A
press dispatch states that Mccarthy Is ac-
cused of causing the death Of two Mexi-
cans by the fast running of his train, and
is held in jail, without bail, pending trial
Mr.. Edward DAILY of Georgetown, d. c.,
called at the department today and en-
deavored to learn the details of the arrest.
He thinks the Jerry Mccarthy mention
ed Is his brother-in-law by that name,
who went into the railroad business many
years ago and headed toward Mexico.
There will be a vein Of romance in the
case If the Mexican prisoner proves to be
the same Mccarthy. The Georgetown boy
by that name disappeared eighteen years
to get track of him, further than that he
was somewhere in the west or in Mexico.
His aged parents, Charles and Catherine
Mccarthy, live at 3401 NJ street. George
town. They were much affected on seeing
the press dispatch stating that the one be-
lieved to be their long absent son was in
a Mexican prison. The acting consul at
Pedras NegraS has been communicated
with as to the facts, and steps will be
taken to aid the imprisoned man.

SILVER NOT WANTED
The Treasury Unable to Keep the Dollars in
Circulation.
Paper Preferred to the ''DOllar Of Our
Daddies'-SOme Statistics as to the
Weight of Silver Money.

The practical failure CT the Treasury De-
partment to keep the standard silver dollar
In general circulation Is shown by the rec
ords of that department One Of the ofti-
cials says that the department has treated
these coins more generously than any other
form CT money ever issued by the govern
ment, and has offered unusual inducements
for their use in business transactions. but
that experience has shown that, with ex-
ceptional cases, the people will never take
the dollar of our daddies'' when they can
get it's paper representative or other cur
rency equally as good.
The total standard silver dollars coined
up to tn. 1st instant number 431, So O41.
OF this number 379, 49, pa are lying idle in
the vaults Of the treasury and 51.g99, 197
are in circulation, being less than one-sev-
enth of the coinage. The largest amount
of these dollars ever in actual circulation
was 81, ,547 ,O23. in December. 1890. During
the past ten years their circulation has va
ried between 6OGOO.OU and 50,OOOOOO. and
has never fallen below the latter figure.
To maintain this circulation the govern
ment pays all express charges OF transpor-
tation on all the silver dollars 1T sends out
There is no other kind of money that is
similarly shipped to individuals at the en-
tire expense Of the government, with the
insignificant exception Of nickels and cents
when forwarded direct from the mints.
Inc amount OF silver UOldTS SHppeu each
year varies from 25,OOO,WO 10 3U.V0.OoO, at
a cost to the government of about SJo,Op a
year. According to an official, this ex-
pense is tax upon the people at large for
the benefit mainly of bankers, who. when
they need money Of small denomina tions in
the movement of the crops or other large
trade opera tions, call on the Treasury De-
partment for silver dollars in order to
avoid the express charges that would ac-
crue to the shipments of other kinds OF
money. 1t Is also alleged that some bank
ers also get the dollars in large amounts in
order to Use them in meeting their bills.
Even this practice does not suffice to keep
the silver in the hands of the people. how
ever, and it soon gets back into the treas
ury in exchange for the more convenient
paper currency.
Under the present fina ancial system the
only know:I objections to the use OF silver
money are its size nd weight. An idea OF
the weight of silver in bulk is given by the
following figures:
Seventeen silver dollars. one pound:
thousand dollars, fifty-nine pounds; 34,pn
silver dollars, one ton; and one million Sill
yer dollars, twenty-nine tons. The weights
given above are avoirdupois. 1t is said at
the department that with free coinage OF
silver at the present market value of Sill
YER the proportionate weights would be
doubled.

Alfred George Whitehead. the Irish-Ameri-
can political prisoner who was released
from Portland prison last week, and who
arrived here yesterday evening, became
completely deranged after seeing his
mother, and disappeared soon afterward.
He has not been seen since, although
searchers have been securing the neigh
borhood all night lcng.
DUBLIN, August 2o.-The Kilkenny Jour
nal, commenting upon the release of John
Daily, the Irish political prisoner, from
Portland prison, says:
1.-The Red Indians torture of captives is
humane when compared with the torture
inflicted upon DAILY in England"
Continuing. the periodical mentioned re-
fers to the allusion in the queens speech
to the outrages in Armenia, and adds
1.-The queen can find nearer home more
vent for her hypocritical tears than among
the Kurds," and asks: where's the queens
clemency? DAILY was released a few
months before death would have released
him, and three others have been driven
mad by tortures in penal servitude, COM
pared with which Siberian exile is drawing

toria wishes to signaliZe her reign. She
would not have been loss to the victims
Of her brutal rule in Ireland If she had

prisons to Irishmen until they precede her
