the story sent out from San Francisco that
he haG attempted TO interfere or influence
the proceedings Of the court-martial con-
Quoting the trial of Capt. Healy OF the

dignified with a d anial. He said it would

JAPAN's GREAT SHIPPING FIRM.
Head of Its London Agency Here In
Route TO Els Post.

X. Negishi, who has been dele
gated by the great Nippon Yusen
Kaisha Company to act as its
London manager, arrived here
last evening on the steamship
Coptic en- route to his post of
duty. The concern is the third
largest shipping firm in the world,
owning more than sixty steam
ships of 5000 tons and over. A
direct line to London, taking III
other European ports, has Just
been inaugurated, and the monster
steamship Tosa Maru is the pio-
neer of the line. She is 445 feet
long, has 40 feet beam, and is 81
feet deep with a carrying capacity
of over 5000 tons measurement.
The company has ordered six
ships of her class at Glasgow. An
other of its great ventures under
consideration is line to the Pa
cific Coast.
The freight rate from Japan to
London was $40 gold n ton, and
the new line is carrying it for
1892. The passenger rate was 600
yen for single fare, and it has
been cut to 475 yen for the round
trip.
Mr.. Negishi is an old and trust
ed employee of the concern,and his
mission is deemed most import
ant one. He will only remain
here for few days, and then
proceed to New York.-S. +.

Olympia Is Speedy.

The recent speed trial of the
cruiser Olympia in japanese
waters, concerning which contra
dictory reports were published,
proves to have been a remarkable
success. The weather was so
stormy that it was not possible to
learn the full extent of the big
ships powers, but she demonstrate
ed that she is a good sea boat, and
convinced her officers that under
favorable circumstances she can
make twenty-three knots under
natural draught. Even with the
wind blowing a gale she made on
this trial more than twenty knots.

QUEEN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
She was Driven 60 Distraction by
Her Husbands Vagaries.

ROME, March %. 1t is now
known that the malady which
prevented the unhappy Queen of
the Belgians from being present
at the wedding of her niece is the
result of an attempt to commit
suicide last autumn at Spa. 1t
was stated at the time that she
had sustained fracture of the
jaw through a fall from her
horse.
The publicity of King Leopold's
intrigues with Emilienne dAlen-
con and Mile. de Merode, both of
whom he has brought from Paris
and established in the most sump-
tuous fashion at Brussels, has
probably been the main cause of
the Queens act. Then, too, she
is distressed beyond measure by
the knowledge that her husband
has squandered in his Congo en-
lcIDTlSb lDb Gullle lOIlult VI lis
demented sister, ex-Empress Car
lotta of Mexico, who inherited
from her father nearly Sl5,0O0,-
600.
This poor Empress Carlotta is
the only other lady of royal rank
in modern times whose misery
has been of such intensity as to
drive her to attempt suicide. She
made an attempt at the Vatican
in the presence of Pope Plus TX
by swallowing poison. Fortunate
ly medical assistance was within
reach, antidotes were administer
ed and after spending a night in
the apartments of the Pontiff,
which he abandoned to her for
the time, she was sufficiently re-
covered on the following day to
be conveyed to her hotel.

money behind them are nothing
but broken promises. More money
or every merchant in the country
will demand cash or go to the wall
The bills which are being run can

The people have long since learned

not necessarily the best. In fact, as a
rule, they are not. What is wanted is
something mild and sure, such as Cham

Remedy. That is really pleasant to take
when reduced with water and sweetened.
Then it is acknowledged everywhere to
be the most successful remedy in the

The U. S. Silver Dollar.

If all the silver and gold that is
taken from the mines were coined
into money they wouldn't supply
the world with one tenth the money
required to transact its business.
A moments reflection should con-
vince any ordinary intelligent
person of this fact. Then what
folly it is to talk of initiating the
currency so much that a United
States silver dollar would be worth
only so cents. A United States
silver dollar will always be worth
as much as a gold dollar. But the
gold trust papers point to Mexico.
Mexican silver dollars are not
worth as much as a gold dollar.
The reason is very easily found.
Mexico is not able to furnish goods
sufficient to buy all the silver that
can be taken to her minis. Try
the United States. A hundred
factories are now closed and idle be-
cause they cannot sell their goods.
Offer them American silver dollars
and see how quickly they would
start up. They would make and
exchange goods for all the silver
dollars that was offered. The
United States can supply every
thing that the wants of man crave,
from a cambria needle to an iron
clad steam battle ship, and also in
every line of goods the ability of
this country is able to supply what
ever is called for. That is the
reason the United States could
absorb all the silver brought to
their mints. The people stand
waiting anxious and ready to bQy
it with the products of their labor.
All they require is for the govern
ment to place its legal tender stamp
on the dollar.
The United States silver dollar
will buy anything and everything
that gold will buy and in full
measure with that metal. Not
only that, but gold would soon
flow here to buy American silver
for the rest of the worlds use.
These are self evident truths as
the Declaration of Independence,
and every even moderately intel
ligent person ought to readily COM
prehend them. A gold dollar can
never be worth more than an
American silver dollar for the
obvious reasons above stated.
No, there is not one tenth enough
silver and gold in the world to
supply it with money sufficient to
transact the business, and the
United States stands ready to
furnish goods of every conceivable
kind in quantities sufficient to buy
all the silver which can possibly be
brought to our minis to receive the
government stamp. No body will
dispute this who knows what he is
talking about unless it is for the
purpose of deceiving and mislead-
ing the people.
