Prof. Prud homme. one of the twelve off,
GERS of the navy of the grade Of professor
OF mathematics, was placed on the retired
list today on account of age. For many
years he was Instructor in foreign lam
guages at the Naval Academy, but for the
past six years he has been on waiting or-
ders. He Is a native of France, and was
appointed to the navy soon after the close
of the war. He is well known to every
officer Of the navy who has graduated dur
ing the past twenty years. His retirement
creates vacancy In the list of professors
of mathematics, which will probably be
filled by the appointment of Lieut.. Joseph
Strauss, who. in the grade of ensign, has
distinguished himself i'm ordnance inventions
and devices, notably I'm connection with the
superposed turret of the battle ships. He
graduated from the Naval Academy in
1883. The practical result of his appoint
ment will doubtless be his detail to the
ordnance bureau, where he will continue
his present services, and without question
as to the length Of detail, as In the cas

seriously considering the selection of
station on the Atlantic coast, where the
reserve ships can be laid up in ordinary to
the best advantage Of the service. Three
yards are under favorable consideration
They are the Brooklyn, the Portsmouth
and the League Island yards. Each has
points in its favor, and it is possible that
two of them will be used. Whitney Basin
at Brooklyn and League Island. Each Of
these has the advantage of being situated
directly at a great manufacturing and COM
mercial city, where there is always not
only plenty of labor at command, but ship
building material of all sorts, with abund-
ant supplies. When a ship is laid up In

ready to be put in commission at short

United States Consul Jastremski at Cal
lao. Peru. has written the State Depart
ment. correcting the statement originally
made as to the cause of the death OF Mr.
F. Cooper. an American mining expert
who was said to have been killed by saw
ages while on an exploring trip. The truth
Is that Cooper tried to swim across the
Inambari river, and perished either from
cramps or striking a rock. The United
States consular agent at Mollendo says the
first story was spread by the former own
ers of the Santo Domingo gold mine with
the object of OBTAINING Mr.. Hardison, who
bought the mine for the American com
pany called the Inca Mining Company OF
Carabaya. On his return from the states
the mine was giving ten pounds of gold
daily. and it suited them to keep the new
owner away as long as possible Rumors
of the discovery of rich gold deposits in
that region appear to be supported by this
Statement.

BISMARCK On BIMETALLIsM.
Effect OF Independent Action by the
United States.

In speech Saturday night at Dallas,
Texas, Governor Culberson read the fol-
lowing correspondence between himself and
Prince Bismarck On the money question:
prince Bismarck:
Sir: The great question of finance is now
of supreme interest to the people of the
United States. 1t is presented in various
forms, but in general way IL may be said
to be. first, whether the United States shall
adopt the single gold standard, or. second,
whether they shall adopt bimetallism, with
both gold and silver as the standard or
primary money. The argument in favor of
each is well known to you, but il is par
ticularly insisted that We should adopt The
policy OF bimetalliSm because the supply of
gold in the world for coinage is insufficient
to meet the demand, and because such a
standard will still further depress the
values of all property.
which, in your judgment. is the best
policy to adopt. the gold standard or bi-
metallism, giving your reasons?
w hat effect, in your judgment, will the
immediate adoption of bimetallism nv the
lism in Germany and other great COM
mercial nations?
&C. A. CULBERSON.
Governor of Texas"
In reply, Bismarck said:
'FRIGDRICHSRUHE, August "a 1896
Honored Sir: Your esteemed favor has
been duly received. L hold that this is the
very hour that would be advisable 10 bring
ABOUT between the nations chiefly engaged
IN the worlds commerce a mutual agree
nient in favor of the establishment of bi-
metallism. The United States are freer
by far, in their movements than any nation
! OF Europe, and, hence, If the people of the
United States should find il compatible with
their interests to take Independent action in
the direction of bimetallism, L cannot but
believe that such action would exert a most

DisappOints the Champions.

The Baltimores will be greatly disap-
pointed to be compelled to play the Cleve-
lands a second time for the Temple cup.
The series with the Cincinnatis would have
been worth probably $500 or s4OO more to
every player on the Baltimore club, be-
cause a series in Cincinnati would realize
three times as much as one will be worth
in Cleveland, and. moreover, they would
have almost certainty Of winning the
series and the cup from the Reds who
are easy foes, but are almost certain to
lose it to the Clevelands, who are their
Jonahs Besides the difference in the
amount to be realized in Cincinnati or
Cleveland, it means probably only forty per
cent of the proceeds if their opponents are
the Clevelands, but sixty per cent if they
should be the Cincinnatis-the difference Of
a division should they be defeated, or of a
larger one should they win.
The Baltimores have contested in nine
games during two years for the Temple cup
and succeeded in but one of them. The
New Yorks beat them -four straight in
1894, and the Clevelands took four or five
last fall. If the Cievelands win the cup
again they would have a call on a perma-
nent title to it. Under the deed of gift to

wins the cup three successive years shall be-
