THE sILvR QUESTION,
India Refuses to Reopen Her Minis
for Silver Coinage.

India Refuses to Reopen Her Minis
for Silver Coinage.
New YORK, Oct. Ia "A dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says: The
Herald is informed from a trust
worthy source that the answer which
the Indian Government has forward
ed to the British Cabinet, declining
to reopen its minis under an agree
ment with France and the United
States, is causing considerable diff
Guilty in English Government circles.
A majority OF the Cabinet is disin-
clined to override the opinion Of it's
Indian advisers on question which
principally affects India, but several
members OF the Cabinet feel that
the Government is too far commit
ted to withdraw. At the present
moment it is impossible to foretell
the outcome of the differences of
opinion, but the resignation of all
the influential Cabinet Ministers is
not improbable.
Meanwhile it is interesting to
know that the refusal of India is
based on her obligation to the ratio
of l5a to l. Indian statesmen fore
see the greatest difficulties arising
out of a sudden gap in the price OF
silver to SO, which it is feared would
revolutionize the commercial rela-
tions and lead to the ruin of the
many merchants engaged in trade
with Asia. On basis more nearly
corresponding with the present price
Of silver-for instance, on the basis
OF l5a in the per rupee, that is to
say, AID per ounce for silver as the
standard-India would Immediately
open her minis. Perhaps the Eng
lish Cabinet will try to negotiate on
such lines before finally rejecting
Senator Wolcott's proposals.

are making $4,000 year each from
the Illegal importation OF Chinese.
The corruption, he believes, from
evidence in his possession, girdles
the continent. Chinese who have
no right to come are admitted all
along the Canadian border, at the
port of New York, at Seattle and at
other points along the Pacific Coast
He expects to see some revelations
which will startle the country. The
investigating committee Of Congress
already provided for, begins its
work this winter.

THE EXCLUSION ACT.
Col Scharf, the New York Inspector
Of Chinese Says it is Farce,
and Resigns.

WI ocudrI, inc Now OrA inspector
Of Chinese Says it is q Farce,
and Resigns.
New YORK, Oct. 14.-Col. j. Thos
Scharf, Chinese Inspector for the
southern district of New York, has
sent to the Secretary of the Treasury
his resignation, to take effect Oct.
Is. He says that in his opinion,
based on four years OF practical ex-
perience and close observation, the
Chinese Exclusion Act is a farce,
and has resulted in the corruption
of the Treasury Department.
Colonel Scharf is an ex-officer Of
the Confederate army and a fighter.
He was appointed Chinese Inspector
in 1893 under the Cleveland admin
istration, and Immediately after his
arrival here preferred charges
against customs officers, whom he
accused OF assisting in the smuggling
in of Chinese. He has never sue
ceeded in bringing about the dis
missal of any Of the men he has
accused. He says his failure in that
direction was caused by the influence
of the Canadian Pacific Railroad in
high quarters.
He talked freely on the subject
last night. He said fraud exists,
and that he has good reason to be-
lieye that men in the employment

FROM CUBA.
General wevler, the Butcher, is Re-
lieved by General Blanco

lieved by General Blanco
New York, Oct. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
Captain General Weyler's rule in
Cuba will end with the present
week. General Castellanos will act
as Captain q eneral until General
Blanco's arrival in Havana from
Spain on Saturday next, when he
will Immediately take the oath Of
Office.
General Weyler, although ex-
pressing regret that he has been re-
called before he had succeeded in
crushing the rebellion, takes the
matter philosophically, and is
making preparations to sail on
October 20. He persists in main
tanning that his methods are the
only ones that will eventually force
the insurgents to surrender.
In the meantime, the rebels show
no signs of Willingness to negotiate
for peace on the basis of autonomy.
On the contrary, they are preparing
to take the aggressive. The large
force that started westward last
week, it is reported, includes an
effective company of artillery. The
intention is evidently to join
General Castellos and to make big
demonstration in Havana province.
In Pinar del Rio the rebels have
been active during the past few
days. They again attacked and
raided the town of Calgre, killing
several OF the Spanish soldiers.
They also ambushed column of
Spanish guerillas near Mandas, kill
ing more than twenty.
The rebel brigade under Lorenzo
attacked the trocha OF San Antonio
and blew up one Of the forts, badly
wounding twenty six soldiers. The
rebels then passed through the
trocha driving herd of cattle.
New York, N. Y, Oct. 1.-THE
Worlds correspondent at London
cables: The Madrid Government
has been SO favorably impressed by
the welcome public opinion and the
press are said to have given the new
policy, that it has been decided to
reply to the note of Woodford in a
polite but firm tone, absolutely
ignoring the possibility of media
ton, declining to fix date for the
closing of the war and expressing
the belief that the condition Of the
instruction and the activity and
efforts OF the Spanish forces, cou-
pied with the contemplated reforms,
are quite sufficient to justify the
hope of an early pacifcation, which
would have been more rapid if the
rebels had not found support under
the color of the American flag.
Blanco cannot reach Cuba before
the first OF November, still the Gov
eminent will begin it's reforms of
the economic administration before
January, simultaneously with vigor-
GUS military operations and active
negotiations behind the scenes
through the assistance of leading
autouomists.
