JAPAN DRIVING OUT SILVER.
Senator WOlcott Thinks II VIII Has
ten International Agreement.

zen Jnternat1onht agreement.
Senator Wolcott yesterday expressedhim-
self as follows or. the subject of Japan re-
cent reduction OF the silver yen to one-half
the value of the gold yen:
THE monetary situation in Japan is not
only interesting, but most farTeaching, and,
perhaps, not generally understood. The re-
suit which Japan seeks is 10 make pernia-
nent the depreciation of silver in relation to
gold, and To preserve thereby the adyant
ages which this depreciation naturally gives
to japanese agriculture and japanese indus
tries. II is not III any sense an attempt to
equaliZe values. There was a time in the
history OF the United States when we might
have taken step identical with that which
Japan now proposes.
III during the years of our civil war, when
our money was worth but so per cent of
the gold dollar we had by law declared that
hencerorth our dollar should he OF the value
of so cents only in gold, our legislation
would have been parallel with that which
Japan evidently intends. We chose to fol-
low different path.
THE actiono Japan accordsi in measure
with that of Austria few years since and
withthe action pro ecte lin Russia, with this
uHIeTeHCt. AUSTIN IOTCeu the permanent
depreciation of its money, measured in gold
tothe extentof some 16 per cent; Russia will
establish a reductionof about SO per centin
the valueOf its rouble, while Japan proposes
permanently depreciateitse exchange, rel
alive to gold, so as to 10 wer the value OF the
yen TO about 4S cents on the dollar.
1.-The action of Japan must not be con-
strued as an attempt to establish and
maintain a gold standard. 1t is simply
an attempt to preserve the economic adj
vantages which she at present enjoys be-
cause of the gold premium which exists in
japan, and this at the expense Of the
great commercial countries of the world,
which have heretofore maintained the
stability of their coinage as well as their
financial integrity.
OF course, at the present price of silver
measured by gold, the result of the action
of Japan would be to drive all its silver
out of that country. 1t is premature, how
ever, to attempt to forecast the full CT
feet Of her action in this respect The
course of Japan must, in my opinion only
serve to hasten some agreement between
the leading commercial nations of the
world, looking to a settlement of this
question upoh an International basis

THE FIREMEN.

The chief feature of yesterdays exer-
cises at the State Firemen's Convention
and tournament at Winchester was
the grand parade. The crowd was
one of the largest ever seen in historic
Winchester. The procession exceeded
in numbers that of the great Rouss
day, in 1894, when the new water sys-
tenn was formally turned over to the
city. As the parade passed the judges
stand many companies were cheered
by the large crowd stationed in that
vicinity; but the First Hose Company
and band, of Hagerstown, Nd, carried
off the first prize for the largest uni
formed company in line; the second
prize to the Chambers Steam Fire En-
CINE, Company of Portsmouth, and that
of the hook and ladder to the Empire
Company, of Carlisle, Pa. The first
named was for $50; the last two were
special prizes.
The Maryland companies in line
were the Columbian Chemical Fire
Company, No. 5 the First Hose Com
pany and Drum Corps, the Indepen.
dent Junior Steam Fire Engine Com
psny and the Hagerstown Cornet Band,
of Hagerstown. There were also COM
panies from Winchester, Lexington,
Roanoke. Bedford City, Berkeley,
Buena Vista, Newport News, Hamp-
ton, Portsmouth, Norfolk, Basic City,
Phoebus, Charlottesville and Harrison
burg, Va. West Virginia companies
from Charlestown and Martinsburg.
There were also Pennsylvania COM
panies from Chambersburg, Carlisle
and Waynesboro.
Last night the various bands present
gave open.air concerts in different Sec
tions of the town, while the fremen,
not entirely satisfied with the parade
gave the people of Winchester parade
No. 2. They used tin horns and trum-
pets of every description instead of
bands.

The Guldensuppe Murder

NEW YORK, July 9.-It is stated on
competent authority that Martin
Thorn has made complete acknow-
ledgment of his connection with the
crime for which he and Mrs. Mack
have been indicted A police official
claims to have heard the confession and
says that Thorn admitted everything
except that he denied positively and
emphatically that Mrs. Mack had any
thing to do with the killing of Gulden-
suppe, though she assisted in disposing
of the body.
For the frat time since their arrest,
Augusta Mack and Martin Thorn, ac-
cused of Turing to cottage at Wood.
side and there killing and dismember-
ing William Guldensuppe, were this
morning brought face to face when to.
gether arraigned in court to plead to
the indictment Of murder in the first
degree. Thorn was perfectly self pos.
sessed. Mrs. Mack had lost none of
the feminine love for appearances. A
vivid green bonnet was on her head
and her black dress was carefully ar.
ranged. When she reached the side of
Thorn he turned at once and looked at
Mrs. Mack. She did not return his
gaze. At the request of Mrs. Nack's
counsel the pleading was postponed I'M
til Monday morning. Thorn was ask.
ed if he had counsel. He replied that
he had not, and Judge Newburger as
signed Howe and Hummel to look after
the prisoners interests. Acting In.
spector O'Brien, chief of the detective
bureau, denied to day that Thorn had
confessed to him that he had killed
Guldensuppe. According to O'Brien,
Thorn has uniformly refused to say
anything about his movements on the
day on which Guldensuppe is alleged
to have been murdered.
