its weight But that is not the free
coinage proposition at all; that would
do them no possible good; it would
leave them simply with the bullion
stamped, il you please, but bullion still.
Mo- They ask this: They ask that this
government shall open its minis under
a law which will make the silver bull
lion of all the world into American dol
lars and compel all people of the Uni
ted States to receive them at double the
value of the bullion. What does that
mean? Today the Mexican brings that
dollar over our line. There is five and
a half grains more silver in that dollar
Of Mexico than in this dollar of the
United States. Today if he brings his
dollar over here he can pass it on on
you for just so cents-No, believe it
is worth So now, because the Mexican
can not tell from one day to another or
from one year to another what his dol
lar is worth. (Laughter.) But today
he brings it here, he can pass it on you
for just So cents. They propose TO let
that same Mexican bring that same
dollar over the border, take it to our
minis that we furnish free, run without
charge and let him clip off five and
half grains of silver and put it back
in his pocket, and then have stamped
upon one side of it the Goddess of Lib
erty and on the other side the Ameri-
can eagle and give it back to him with
a law attached to compel you to receive
it for just twice what he could pass it
for in his own country or what it was
worth when he brought it here. (Laugh-
ter. and cheers-)
Now I do not propose as long as I
have voice to speak or a vote to give.
to let him have the Goddess of Liberty
or the American eagle free for any such
purpose"
Senator Thurston spoke for nearly
two hours and few of the immense

WASHINGTON MAN MISSING.
His Strange Disa appearance Mt Har
per'S Ferry


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
HARPER'S FERRY, w. Va, August n
The authorities here are investigating a
case involving the sudden and mysterious
disappearance of well-dressed man. sup
posed to have come from Washington, and
1t may develop sensational murder or
suicide. Four weeks age the man who
is now the central figure in the investiga-
ton came here and stopped at Mrs. Trails
boarding house on the main street. When
he had been there a few days he expressed
desire to go bass fishing, and when he
got ready to leave he paid his bill in full
as he said he might be gone several days.
His valises and o,her baggage Were LEFT at
the hotel, and he departed. Although he
said he was going fishing he was We'll
dressed, and had with him several hundred
dollars. He left the house and nothing
has been heard or seen of him since. No
one here knows his name, nor is il certain
that he came from Washington although
1t is generally thought that he belongs
there. lie Is man of about thirty-fye
years, dressed well and was highly edu-
Gated. His strange disappearance has
caused some alarm, and yesterday his bag
gage was examined. This was done by the
authorities, in hopes of finding something
concerning the mans identity, but there
was not even a slip OF paper found which
would in any way lead to his identity or
tell from where he had come. 1t is feared
that he went up the river fishing, and, hay
ing so much money on him, oNas murdered
and thrown in the river. Others think the
man may have committed suicide. AL
though nothing TO indicate the mans iden-
uty was found, the authorities are max
ing full investigation of the case and
hope to hear something from the authori-
ties of neighboring cities.
