CAUSES MUCH CONNECTION.
Bank of Englands Action on Silver Said
to Have Startled Europe.

Bank of England's Action on Silver Said
to Have Startled Europe.
LONDON, Sept. Is. The important
announcement made by The Times in
an article from special correspondent
to the effect that the directors of the
Bank of England have consented to
hold one.fifth of the bank reserve in
silver, has caused much excitement on
the continent.
The governor of the Bank of England,
Albert George Sandemen, when ques-
toned on the subject, refused to con-
firm or deny the report. From other
Bank of England officials, however, it
was learned that the article was proba.
bly, "ballon d'essai" sent up at the in
stance of the government in order to
ascertain the temper of the people on
the subject before giving final answer
to the United States monetary COM
mission, headed by Senator Edward o.
Wolcott of Colorado.
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting
upon the report referred to, says:
'sThis startling rumor is such bolt
from the blue that we would fain be.
lieve there must be some mistake.
Should the suggested action of the bank
have substantial foundation in fact, the
whole commercial world will immedi,
ately rise up in arms to protest against
80 dangerous an innovation. Our con.
temporary darkly hints at pressure from
high quarters, and with equal mystery
suggests weighty affairs of state as a
possible explanation for this sudden and
unexpected departure from the straight
and narrow path. But the business
community will not be satisfied with
any vague and unauthorized statements
of this kind and demands an official
pronouncement"

RUMOR is HASTY
BANK OF ENGLAND DENIES THE
SILVER RESERVE STORY.
Times Correspondent Reached His Com
illusions Entirely on Superstition.
Alleged Action of the Bank
Startled Europe.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-Mr. Henry Riv-
ersdale Grenfeldt, director of the Bank
OF England, has letter in The Times
in the course of which he says: GAS a
bimetallist, and as one of the senior
members of the bank court, I think I
have right to ask upon what ground
the writer Of the article entitled "A Re-
monstrance' in your Saturday issue
makes his assertion that the bank has
decided to hold fifth of it's reserve in
silver. The bank, if it had done SO,
would have been strictly in accordance
with the bank act of 1874, and equally
in accordance with the action taken in
1881 by the government, then presided
over by monometallist, Mr.. Gladstone.
There is no ground for saying that any
one connected with the bank has Off
cially gone beyond that position. In.
deed, doubt if an opinion has been re.
corded or any determination come to at
all. Your correspondent whole letter
seems founded on supposition of what
may or may not have arisen in the ne
cessary preliminary discussions with
regard to the watering of the banks
reserve with silver on the conditions
mentioned in 1881"

farm. The Ramsey county farm
furnishes food about the same as ours
also the Hennepin farm, except there
the inmates get no butter. An in
mate leaving either farm without
permission of the superintendent can
not get readmitted without much
trouble and most of them never get
back. Each farm has set Of print
ed rules, and the superintendent
are expected to enforce them, and
the commissioners stand by the
superintendent in the full enforce
ment of the rules. On the whole,
while those institutions give a better
appearance than ours, the Blue Earth
county farm gives as good home to
the unfortunate poor as either of
them. Mr.. Lewis appreciates the
benefits of some Of the rules in use at
both places, and will bring the
matter before the commissioners at
an early day and ask that some such
rules be adopted here.

Supt. Lewis of the poor farm and

conjunction with visit to the state

ideas as to methods Of running poor

Six Suspicious Cases at New
Orleans Declared to Be the
Dread Disease.
Another Pronounced Case Also
Discovered in the Same
End of City.
No General Alarm Expected
Unless Conditions Grow
Much Worse.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 13.-Shortly be-
fore noon the board of health officially
declared six of the suspicious cases of
fever on St. Claude street to be yellow
fever. A couple of hours subsequently
the board announced another pro-
nounced case of yellow fever at Miro and
Esplanade streets, also in the lower
part of the city. but a mile or more
announcement of the first six cases of
yellow fever was not unexpected, al
though it was hoped from the delay on
the part of the experts that these cases
were simply of bilious malaria. No
general alarm has resulted here, al
though the news rapidly spread through
the city. The authorities believe the
situation
Is Not Materially Worse
than it was four or five days ago, and
they are still confident Of their ability,
with modern sanitary appliances, sue
cessfully to quarantine the infected dis.
trlcts. To correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press President Olliphant said:
"Of course l have made the an
nouncement of the existence of
seven cases of yellow fever in New
Orleans with sincere regret, but
there was no alternative left me under
! my pledge to keep faith with the public
here and elsewhere. l do not think,
however, there is occasion here for Sc
rious alarm unless conditions shall
grow materially worse. We shall have
to await developments.
General Quarantine Likely.
DR.. Olliphant notified the railroad
companies and others who have special
interest in the situation. The news
was generally spread through Louisiana
and the Southern states, and it is prob
able that mes, of the towns that have
not quaranthed against New Orleans
will now refuse to have any coAsnuni-
cation with this city. The situation in
this respect, however, will not be much
aggravated, for the Crescent City has al
ready been bottled up for several days.
DR.. Olliphant says that dispatches were
being prepared to be sent to the various
boards of health Of the country officially
acquainting them with the situation.

KILLED BY A BLAST,

Mexican Explosion Results in Death to
Twenty-four Persons.
CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 13.-Twenty-
four persons, mainly spectators of the
great blast at Panuela's quarry, were
instantly killed. The blast went off and
the people rushed forward to see the re.
suits, when gases in the air ignited,
causing great explosion, with terrible
results. Two cavalrymen were on
guard and were killed with the horses.
Many people were wounded.

of the members being present except
Mr.. Parry. Mrs. b. D. Smith &C.
cupied the place vacated by DR..

Mr.. Jones chair. The meeting was
busy one, and some surprises were
sprung in the permanent organization.

formed by the election of Mr.. Will
Jams chairman and Geo. H. Brewster
clerk.
The matter of a permanent organ
ization was taken up at once, and the
work was done by ballot.

Coughlan, Keysor and Williams.
Schools and text books-Mrs. Smith
and Messrs. Fletcher and Parry.
Superintendent Varney reported
the enrolment in the various build
ings for the week, as given in Satur'
days papers. He also reported that
Miss Belle Goodwin was acting as
substitute teacher for Miss Mills
who would not be able to take up heI
work for a short time, and that Miss
Mary Ingerman was substituting fol-
Miss Van Blarcum, who had not yet
returned from her trip to Europe.
Supt. Varney stated that the text
books in the several grades are not
uniform and suggested that the board
adopt a list of books to be used in all
the grades, and presented list that
he had prepared. This list contained
no books not already in use in the
schools, he said, and in making it, he
had endeavored to select the books
that were most widely distributed
through the schools, although some
of them that he considered the best
were not there. He also stated that
there appeared to be no elementary
history in the schools, and recommend
ed the addition of such a book for the
fifth grade, and also the addition of q
book on English literature in the
High school.
The list of books recommended was
adopted.

NOT FAIR WEATHER SOLDIERS.
West Point Cadets are Hardened to Stand
Exposure.

Those who are familiar with the facts
assert that there is much misinforma-
ton prevailing as to the alleged fatal
effects of the Indictment weather at
Grants inauguration in 1873 upon the
West Point cadets.
The matter has been investigated at
the war department, and it has been
found that of the 1876 West Point men
who marched up the avenue in that
blizzard without their overcoats, but
one died during the year, and he not
from causes resulting from exposure.
The cadets are not tender plants, but
are hardened to exposure in every sol
dierly way, walking their posts on
guard, day and night, in all kinds of
weather, like real soldiers, as they are.
A West Point cadet fell in a chill
while passing the executive mansion
and kind-hearted Mrs. Grant had him
taken inside and cared for for a week,

Stntisticn of Crimc.

The statistics of crime in 1896 do not
improve the reputation of the past year
as dark period in our history, though
the record is not altogether unfavorable
by comparison with previous years.
There were 122 legal executions during
1896 and 13l lynchings, which is rather
startling commentary on the methods
by which the law is executed and de-
fed in this country. That neither
lynchings nor legal executions serve to
check the crime of murder is shown
by the statement that there were no
less than 10,G52 murders committed
during the year. This is shocking ex-
bit.-Roston Herald.

A COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
Tho Police of Syracuse Make an Inn
pOrtnnt Capture.


On Monday the 18th Harold Marquisee, Of
Utica, n. Y, was arrested In Syracuse, N.
Y, on warrant sworn out by the DR.. Will
liaIns' Medicine Co., charging him with forg-
erv. On the 18th of December Marquisee
visited a photo-engrayer In Syracuse, say
ing he was the representative of the DIR.
Williams Medicine Co, and arranged for the
making of a full set of plates for the dlrec-
ton sheets, labels, etc, of the famous Or.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. News
of this reached the home Office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when he
should return for the plates. He returned
On the 18th, and was accordingly arrested
and is now in jail in Syracuse awaiting ex-
animation, which occurs on March I'd.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plumber, such
as medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc,
found in Marquisees trunk when arrested
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; and in
search of his apartments in Utica found
complete outfit for counterfeiting consist
ing of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
bismuth, anthony, q small blacksmith
forge, a charcoal furnace, and several plas-
ter-of- paris molds. The United States mar.
shals want him just as soon as DIR. Williams
Medicine Co. are through with him, and, no
doubt, he will be sentenced for long pc
Rod.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations he showed his
knowledge of the proprietary medicine bust.
ness; for these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug store in
the United States. His scheme was to work
the country druggists and sell his imita-
tions at discount of from per cent. to per
cent, explaining the reduced price by the
fact that he had picked them up in small
lots and at discount from dealers who wes>.
overstocked. By working fast and making
long jumps, he would have secured many
hundreds of dollars in a short time. The
most fortunate to have caught the rogue, be-
fore he had fairly started, and to have thus
kept these spurious goods out of the market.
