VIEWS OF SHELTER MEN.
Advance In Lead Compensates For
Loss In Silver.

Denver. Colo. Aug. 5.-The effect of
the decline in silver to 551s cents per
ounce and the probable further fall to
as low as so cents. which seems to be
conceded by. those in the best position
to Judge, is the current topic of con-
verSation among mining men, ana
while some are greatly discouraged at
the outlook for mining in Colorado,
the general opinion seems to be that
the decline of silver will have no very
serious effect upon the mines, because
there is comparatively little silver now
mined in the state, except in connec-
ton with copper. gold and lead There
is possibility that some OF the AS
pen and Creole properties will smut
down. but outside of these there VIII
be little change in the SITUATION:
Ex-Governor J. B. Grant OF the
Omaha &, Grant smelter said: 4 am
of the opinion that silver will continue
to go down until there is marked
decrease in the production in some
parts of the world, and it remains TO
be seen which OF the silver producing
countries win give way first. l think
it will have some effect upon the de-
velopnent of Mexico, and that no more
railroads will be built to the mines OF
that country. 1t Will have no serious
effect upon the production of lead, for
I have figured out that with lead at
$3.50 and silver at 551a cents, it is just
as profitable to the miner as when lead
was 1926 and silver So cents.
Ex-senator n. P. Hill of the Boston
& Colorado smelter thinks that the de-
cline will be seriously felt in many
quarters. 1.-The aggregate loss will be
quite large" said he. Last year the
average price paid our company for
silver was 66.S6 cents per ounce, and
the difference between that price and
today's quotations amounts to about
s12O 900 in our production of last year.
In 1891 the price was much higher, and
the loss, compared with today's quota
lions. would be nearly S25C.OOO

AN OPEN LETTER.
1t Bears on the Relations of Andrews
and Brown University.

Boston. Aug. 6-Congressman Joseph
H. Walker of Worcester has given the
Associated Press an open letter Wnlcn
has a bearing on the controversy between
the faculty of Brown university and the
corporation of the institution. OF which
Mr.. Walker is a member. over the resig-
nation of President Andrews he calls
il reply 10 certain mem berS of the fac
ulty of Brown university. and saws:
THE corporation deeply regrets that
any member of the faculty should nave
felt it his duty to compicate very
delicate situation, growing out of the
wide divergence of views between Ii and
the public teachings of its president. as
to what is truth and as to their respective
duties and responsibilities, involving the
attitude of the university on questions
viewed by the corporation as at the very
foundation of morality. The corporation
of Brown university, as in the past, now
so administers its affairs in the broad
spirit of liberality in which il was
founded, as / , both the beliefs and teach
ings of its president and professors. Dut
it cannot tolerate the alienation of the
great trust committed to its hands in
support of those who would subvert the
doctrines and beliefs of its founders, the
present corporation and all right think
ing men in the community, as well hold
to the truth
.'1'he opinion of our corporation was
not unknown to President Andrews.
Either the corporation has. or 1t has not,
some degree of responsibility for its rep
resentatives in its president and -jrofes-
sors in the institution.
THAT it is in nowise responsible for
their saying and doings will not be as
serted, and If It has any responsibility
whatsoever the question arises. could its
actions have been any more conservative?
Certainly Mr. Andrews has an undoubted
right to speak his mind without offense
TO or criticism by our corporation. But
this right, inalienable in Mr.. Andrews.
does not dissolve the oath taken by the
fellows and the trustees, nor justify nor
excuse the corporation from taking cog
nizance of what the mind and speech OF
the president of Brown university is as
to its effect upon the university, its
friends or the public.
The only safe source of income to a
university is mainly from its invested
fun,S. Brown cannot long prosper or
even exist as President Andrews has car
ried il, himself being judge

OPINIONS AT BOISE.
Decline Caused By Goldbug Manipu-
lation.
Especial 10 The Herald.)

Especial TO The Herald)
Boise Ida, Aug 6-The concensus OF
opinion among the advocates of free
silver coinage here is that the present
decline in the price of the metal is the
result of manipulation for the purpose
of preventing the American bimetailic
commission from making a success of
its efforts TO bring about an inter-
national conference. They point to the
fact that the dispatches all distinctly
state that no direct cause for the de-
cline can be given. They also call atten-
ton to the predictions that have been
made in all of the recent cablegrams
on the subject of the mission of the
American representatives that Great
Britain would return a favorable an
swer and agree to participate in a con-
ference instructing the delegates to
make some agreement that would be a
substantial gain for bimetallism-
1t is held that a large class in Eng
land is favorable to bimetallism; that
merchants and manufacturers ind their
trade seriously interfered with by pres
ent conditions. 1t is further held that
what is called the bondholding class
has very little interest in common with
those who favor bimetallism; that it is
most influential in controlling govern
ment policy, and that it is now max
ing a determined stand against the
predicted action of the British ministry.
In other words, they are giving Great
Britain an object lesson, such as Wall
street gave the United States four years
ago The latter object lesson unmis-
takably frightened the American gov
eminent, and the theory is that the
English wing of the money power now
proposes to scare the British authori-
