Bell was arraigned at the Central police

tailed policemen while in court.
The only Information which be has
thus far vouchsafed is that he is not q

The police attach the utmost import
ance to the arrests made and are observ-
ing the greatest reticcnce on tho subject.
1t appears, however, that the police
otncisls have been cognizant for some

votes In this contest the Democrats and
Geen hackers fused and elected Harris ".
Plaisted Governor over Daniel Il. Davis,
this being the first time in 20 years that
the Republican candid idate for Governor
was unsuccessful.
The l,rgest Republican plurality in a
Presidential year was in 1884, when
Frederic Robie was rejected Governor by
nearly 10000, the greenbdck movement

Ex-Governor Cleaves enjoys the distinc-
tion OF having received both the largest
and smallest pluralitles ever given for a
Republican Gubernatorial candidate mp
TO the present day. In 1892 "a Presidential
year, he was elected by IL. t03 votes over
Johnson, Democrat, the plurality being
the lowest ever given by his party, and
in 1894 IAN of year, his plurality reached
the high water mark at a few hundred

The effect or the political sentiment OF

vote will have today and the result of the

anticipated and discounted, and as one
broker puts it today, "The cream has all
been SKINNED. from the bowl of specula-
tion for the immediate present."
Silver was quoted al 6il2 today, which
is a drop of.2ia from the last sale at 81,

RUSH FOR 1896 SILVER DOLLARS.
Treasury Department May Have to Stop
Giving Them Out.


The Washington treasury officials are In
daily receipt of largo number of requests
asking for silver dollars OF this years
coinage In exchange for silver certificates
or other lawful money. Many Of these re-
quests como from persons who seem 10
doubt the truth of the monthly coinage
statement, while others ask for shipments
of 1896 dollars with view TO rcfuting
statements that no silver dollars are now
being coined
These requests have been complied with
as fast as received, and tho treasury Off
cials desire TO call public attention 20 the
fact that when silver dollars arc ordered
In sums OF or multiples of 5000 they nre
shipped at the expense of the government
but when smaller sums are ordered tho
shipments are made at the expense of the
person ordering.
There Is now In the treasury slO, SOC, 800
In free silver. that is silver which may be
obtained In exchange for any lawful mon
ey, but tho demand is so keen for 1896
dollars that IL seems probable that by the
beginning of October the department will
be compelled To decline to pay out silver
dollars except in exchange for silver GER
tiflcates or treasury notes 81 1890 The
law requires certain amounts of silver to
be held in the treasury 10 cover outstand-
ing silver certificates and treasury notes,
and when the minimum is reached silver
payments will be refused even I'm exchange

The number Of standard silver dollars
coined during last August Is shown by the
official statement TO have been 1880, 600;
since Feb. l last, 1l,2i2, 412, and since
November, 1898, Is, 100, 40I.
The coinage value Of the stock OF bullion
now on hand and on which tho mints are
now at work is sleG, 7i5, 200, and IL is sad
20 be altogether probable that coinage will
be continued at least until TIE stock on

increased to about $50, 00O, 900, where IL
