APPRECIATION OF MONEY.

Much is written and said about
increase and decrease in the pur-
chasing price of gold and silver. So
far as the coins are concerned there
is now no difference, and if the free
coinage of silver will restore the
market price of silver to the price of
1873, there will be no distinctionDin
the purchasing price of the bullion
he who has to earn or buy dollar
will have to struggle us hard then as
now. But ''more money will be
coined, and it viii! be less difficult to
get, because of its abundance"
This would be true if the person who
had it coined were by law compelled
to distribute it equally, according to
population, over the country, to be
gathered up by the people without
any exchange therefor-a kind of a
scramble game, as rich men ale wont
to do with street urchins in large
cities by means of pennies.
But what are really the best indi
cations of the appreciation or depre-
citation of our money values? One
Of the best is the rates of interest.
In 1860 the United States was pay
ing an average rate OF log per cent
upon its debt; in 1873 the usual rate
on loans in Oregon was II to Is per
cent, and many loans were made at
PA per cent. In 1895 Dalles City
borrowed nearly $4,000 to pay off
its floating debt and had no trouble
in getting the money at less than G
per cent. Today there would be nc
trouble in securing by private loans
$4,000 in The Dalles at per cent
if the would-be borrower could satisfy
the lender that he would repay the
money when due in the same kind
of money he borrowed. No one
thinks of asking over ten per cent. Of
a responsible borrower. The United
States secures all the gold it desire:
at per cent. The rate of interest
has not increased, but the distrust il
the ability or willingness to repay il
the kind of money loaned has in
creased.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, February 5.-The
democratic majority in the senate is indig-
nant at the action of Gov. Lowndes whom
they accuse of bad faith in regard to the
appointment of minority election super
yisors The governor agreed to accept the
recommendations of the senators and coun-
ty committees in making appointments for
the democratic supervisors, but some of the
names sent in fail to meet his appreciation,
and he shows a disposition to disregard his
agreement, which has aroused the opposi-
ton of the democratic senators, who are
holding up his appointments.
resolution from the house of delegates
proposing that the assembly proceed at
once to the election of a state treasurer to
succeed Mr.. Spencer c. Jones was received
in the senate today, but that body voted
not to concur with the house. and proposed
proceeding to election ''at some later
time"
Gen. Thos. ]. Shryock of Baltimore, who
was nominated for treasurer in the recent
and is anxious to hasten matters toward
his election. Gen. Shryock is also endeav-
oriDg to pacify number of the western
Maryland delegates, who since the caucus
have indicated regret at having voted for
him. and who have aroused the fear among
the Shryocik men that they may disregard
the decision of the caucus when the as
Sembly proceeds to vote.
The election committee is still counting
the ballots in the Pierce-Westcott election
contest and it is not likely that the re-
count will be completed before tomorrow
The general impression is that Mr. West
colt will be unseated.

Supposed Suicide Has Been Heard
From.
Gus Hyttreh, the stove repairer at 6O3 F
street, who caused his friend Mr.. F. s. Weiss
of 631 F street SO much uneasiness yester-
day morning, has not committed suicide, as
lis friend had anticipated, and his effects
are still at his rooms on F street. As pub
lished in yesterdays Star, he said he had
left in his place a box to be delivered to the
German minister. and this box was turned
ever to the detectives by Mr.. Weiss.
Hyttreh's letters indicated that his mind
was affected, and for several months his
friends have suspected trouble of this kind,
SO that his conduct yesterday was not at all
surprising to them. Because of his having
mentioned the German minister in his many
letters Inspector Hollinberger sent Detec-
tive Boardman to the minister's residence
this morning to make inquiries and tell of
the mysterious box that was at headuuar-
terS for the minister.
He saw one of the clerks and informed
rim of the case, and was told that he might
dispose of the box in any manner he saw fit.
The clerk also told the officer that a letter
mailed in Baltimore yesterday had been re
ceived from Hyttreh, in which he mentioned
the box
When Detective Boardman returned IN
headquarters and reported to Inspector Hol-
hnberger what was the result of his visit to
the minister's house, the box was opened
but the expected explosive was not found
The box contained a large copy of manu-
script, some written in German. n 10
thought that these writings of the alleped
insane man are similar to the letters he ieft
at the Office of his friend, Mr.. Weiss. in
which he told Of persecution by societies and
church people and also by American women
for whom he has not any love. Friends Of
Hyttreh think he may return to his native
country. In the letter sent to the German
minister Hyttreh said he had left the s'in-
fernal machine" with no powder or explo-
sive in it.

1t is Expected to Be Sent in TOmOr-
row or Friday.
1t is expected that the nomination of As
sistant Secretary Unl of the State Depart
Eaent to be United States ambassador at
Berlin will be sent to the Senate tomorrow
or the next day. The appointment has teen
ds termined upon, and its announce -nent
aw ats only notice of its acceptability to
the German government.
Mr. Uhl first caLae into national promi-
nence with the incoming of the present ad-
ministration. Previous to that time he had
achieved fine reputation as a lawyer in
Michigan, where he had practiced ever
since his graduation from the State Uni
versity at Ann Arbor, and he also was we'll
known in financial circles being connected
with two national banks. In politics he had
always been a democrat, and was at one
time mayor of the thriving city OF Grand
Rapids. Mr.. Uhl has been closely attached
to Don Dickinson, and it is generally un-
derstood that his appointment to his place
as first assistant secretary of state was
owing to the influential recommendation of
Mr.. Dickinson.
AS first assistant secretary OF state Mr..
Uhl has frequently been called upon to
assume the entire burden of the administra-
tion of foreign affairs during the absence
or disability of the Secretary of State, and
so it appears that his name has been
signed TO many important state papers.
After the death Of Secretary Gresham he
was acting secretary of state for some
weeks, and was brought forward for ap-
pointment to fill the vacancy. Since Sec
retary Olney's entry into the State Depart
ment Mr.. This functions have been gen.
orally confined to the administration of
the affairs of the consular service. Last
fall he made a tour of Europe, including
the cities in Germany Where United States
consulates are established. and it is as
Sumed that he was so attracted by the
kindly reception accorded him there that
he desired to round out his term OF service
under the State Department as ambassa-
dor to Germany, a place which he can
readily assume owing to his large private
means and experience of the diplomat tic
policy of the present administration

it decided Monday ta consider the con-
tested election case of Aldrich Tep)

presentation of conference report.

Mr.. Owens motion to reconsider on the
table On this motion the vote was:
Yeas, 9S; nays, 31-no quorum. This
evidenced the purpose of the demo-
Gratis to require the republicans to fur
nish quorum to unseat Underwood.
A call of the house was ordered by
the speaker.

tiary building there and to secure plans

Senator Wolcott (rep., Col) for an in
quiry into the contract for the erection
of an equestrian statue of Gen. William
T. Sherman and requesting the suspen-
sion of the contract till next session
was laid before the senate.
Senator Wolcott explained and advo-
Gated the resolution.
Senator Allison (rep., Ia.) argued
against the resolution and contended
that the only jurisdiction which con-
gress had over The matter was given in
joint resolution of 1892, which provided
that commission should be appointed.
Referring to Mr.. Rohl-Smith, of Chi
cago, Senator Allison said that it was
we'll known that one of the artists
committee, Mr.. ST. Gaudens, was an
open and avowed enemy of Mr.. Rohl-
Smiths, and had accused him of steal
ing his (St. GaudensO likeness of Gen.
Sherman. Senator Allison also said
that the final award had been made by
the secretary of war, the general of the
army, the president of the Army of the
Tennessee Gen. Dodge, Gen. Hender-
son, Gen. John w. Noble and Col. Cabell.
Senator Hawley (rep., Conn., also
opposed the resolution. What he ia
vored was a popular statue of Gen. Sher-
man-such one as his old soldiers
would recognize at half mile distance
not mere work of art, which might
be entitled "The American General.
but which was not the statue of "Old
