RIPLEY ON SILVER.
The Santa Fe President Fears q Panic
If Free Coinage Is Adopted.

II Free Coinage Is Adopted.
KANSAS CITY, June president
Ripley of the Santa Fe system, said
to-day: There is not a Western
railway, with a few exceptions, that
does not pay out 70 per cent of its gross
receipts for labor and supplies. The
exceptions pay out 60 per cent. The
margin of profit for capital is very
small. II, as the free silver advocates
themselves claim, free silver will
raise the price of product and labor
the railways have to raise their
charges accordingly. Furthermore,
II we are to receive fifty cents in
place of ST. the railways will be driven
into confusion and bankruptcy.
President Ripley considered awhile
and added, slowly and carefully: II
can see but one result from the carry
ing Of the country for free silver. 1t
is plainly in front Of all thinking men
and all business men, as a settled re-
suit of a certain proposition-if the
proposition carries. The proposal is
to revolutionize the money basis,
In the face Of the world. If
it carries 1t will be followed in
stantly by a widespread panic and
havoc, blacker aud more disastrous
than any business calamity that ever
swept America. The situation which
now confronts railway managers and
the managers of great Investments
and capital is awaiting for the settle
ment OF this tremendous question and
the wiping out Of the mi against
their property and monaY."

Lumber company exploded, killing
seven men outright and seriously, if
not fatally, injuring three others. 1t

men being in the cab. Six of these
seven victims had their heads entirely
torn from their bodies, and we're
otherwise mutilated beyond recog-

The list of killed is as follows: A.

their death.

and Minister Andrade Of Venezuela
have been negotiating upon the settle
ment Of the Uruan affair and Incl
dentally toward opening negotiations
OF the boundary question proper.
isere nave been delays due to the ne
cessity for transmission Of mail Ia
Caracas and return. 1t is the pen
dency of these negotiations to which
Mr.. Curzon, British under secretary
OF foreign affairs, referred in his pub
lie statements before the House OF
Commons last Friday.
From the British standpoint Sir
Julian's overtures to Mr.. Andrade
afford the latter an opportunity to
submit propositions which may bring
the governments together, but from
the Venezuelan standpoint the British
overtures should consist of definite
propositions instead of suggestions
that Venezuela should submit PROPOSE
tions. The V~enezuelans hold that
there is nothing for them to propose
except arbitration, which they have
done again and again.
The arrest of Mr.. Harrison, chief of
the British surveying party of the
British Venezuelan boundary, has not
been communicated to the officials
here. 1t appears to be conceded,
however, that Harrison was in the
wrong if the dispatches are correct in
stating that he was on the west side
of the Cuyuni river. Mr.. Chamber

The Performance Last Night Enjoyed by "a
Liberal Audience.

The tenth week of the vardeyilles upon
the jefferson roof garden was ushered
in last evening with the pronounced sue
cess so characteristic OF the former
weeks
Notwithstanding the skies last even
ing did not give much promise OF clear
weather. the garden was nllcd with an
audience that displayed more enthusiasm
and complete enjoyment OF the perform
ancc than any previous gathering.
Owing to the difficulties encountered in
obtaining excellent artists at this time
of season. when they join the road com
panies the managers were forced 10 make
several changes in the original programme
but the sUostitutions were all that could
be desired.
Harry Edwards and Daisy Kernell are
"A team of comedy stars that are certain
To become favorites. Their turn Is a
gallon Of Wit. song, and dance, no. over
burdenei with tme-defaced specialties
but thoroughly up-t0-date.
4 good irish comedian Is treat 70
the eyes and ears and Ed. Rogers fills
that bill. His songs and limitations are
capital.
Lillian Dane and Victoria Esteele are
both clever singers and the former has
a dance that Is agile and neatly executed.
