Killed by Falling Rocks.

Leonard Conway, colored laborer, aged
about thirty-five, was instantly killed yes
terday at one Of the quarries~ on the Vir-
ginia side of the river, about midway of
the Aqueduct and Chain bridges. Death
was due to pure accident, and the unfcr
tunate man hardly knew what struck him.
The victim was the assistant foreman Of the
quarry, and with a gang of men was en-
ployed in gathering the loose stones at the
base of the quarry. A large stone at the
top Of the quarry, loosened by the blasting,
relied down, and struck in the group Of
laborers, Conway being in its path. Other
men in the group had narrow escapes, but
all escaped without injury.
Squire Randolph Burch Of Rosslyn, who
officiates as coroner. was notified Of the
fatality, and an inquest was held, ver-
dict of accidental death being returned.
Later in the day the remains were turned
over to Undertaken Wise for burial. The
unfortunate man leaves father, who lives

THIS c0ryTRy's FINANCIAL STRENGTH.
HOW fT COMPARES WITH THAT OF THE REST OF
TIE WORLD SOME INTERESTING STA
TISTICS

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: II is claimed that the United States alone
by adopting free coinage can bring SILVER ouiioh
TO n point where. at l6 TO l. dollar VIII nave the
aane intrinsic value as the gold dollar The prin-
cipal reason given Is that the United States has
G., per cent OF the commercial and financial
strength OF the world WIN YOU therefore through
Firsi-Whai il the comparative strength OF ms
country IN the above RESPECTS -, ,o-,b any
Second-Would the silver dollar De worm any
more than the bullion contained in IL? .,... -,
Third-Would IRE" coinage enhance the Nhiu' vi
silver bullion in the marksh' Ns,y ru'f ffuyfTorr
Grand Rapids Mich. oct. 6.
First-A fair idea II the ability OF this country
alone To dominate the commercial and ilnancal
affairs ~ the world may he obtained ny c"ihpar-
ing the trade statistics OF few OF the leading
nations The total value Of the import and eN-
Dor, trade OF the United States for the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1896. was Sl.tS3.i2o.3lS. The
total value OF the import and export trade OF me
British Empire for a similar period was ti'i'"'-
10000 or about SJ1Oo.Wp.Wo; that or France
w,s f2o5 $50 40. or about 81. .4O0Oo0O0: that of
the German Empire was "a .2oo"". or ABOUT
81 soo 900 600 Not to pursue the comparison
further here AZ. only three nations with
total trade OF ss.9oo,ppO00o. against less than
81 700 600 900 for the United states. Another
method Of making comparison Of financial
strength is through banking statistics Muhe-
mans Monetary systems Of the World. which
is a standard authority. estimates the aggregate
banking power capital and deposits, Of the world
in 1884 at Sl9OOoW00y); that Of the United
States at 5000 OOO0OO. The total Of bank clear
ings In 1894 for the seventy-onc cities OF the
United States which have clearing houses was IN
round numbers x45.6I5WW.OD. The total for the
London Clearing House alone for the same period
was $50 800 0OOn. These figures hardly bear
out the proposition that the United states mas
Gl per cent of the commercial and hnancaI
strength OF the world"
Second-The silver dollar under free coinage
would he worth exactly what the bullion con-
tanned In 1t was worth.
Third-Probably not.-tEd.

LORD SALISBURY RETICENT.
London Oct. ia meeting called for the pur-
pose Of protesting against the Turkish atroci-
ties was held in st. Jamess Hall. London. this
evening. under the craftsmanship of the Rt. Rev.
Edward Stuart Talbot, Bishop of Rochester
The hall was crowded to its fullest capacity
A letter from Mr.. Gladstone was read. In
which the ex-Prime Minister declared that 1t
would be a wild paradox to say that the enforce
ment OF British treaty rights TO stop the system
attic massacres in Turkey would provoke hostili-
ties from the Powers. He added that II would
be abandoning duty and prudence to advertise
beforehand for the ears Of "the great assassin
that British action was limited to what the most
backward Of the six Powers deemed sufficient.
II the fundamental dstrust OF Great Britain
and the belief that she is pursuing a selfish pol
icy in the Eastern Mediterranean caused some
OF the Powers to be backward. that was mat
ter which deserved to be gravely considered.
John Carvell Williams, NJ. p. day or two ago
forwarded to Lord Salisbury a resolution
adopted by the Baptsts OF Great Britain ex-
pressing regret at the inaction of the Powers,
and hope that the Government would speedily
and fully explain their position In regard to Tur-
key.
To this Lord Salisbury has replied, saying that
he Is unable to speak freely Of the matter.
Great Britain, he says, Is not taking Isolated
action in ConstantinOple. and it is therefore OBJ
vious that there objections to his speaking
with freedom upon the subject which would not
exist II Great Britain were acting independently
of the other European Powers
