SENATOR JONES, of Nevada, has IT,
vented new rallying cry for the silver
orators who are to work among the
farmers this fall. He says that if we
had the free coinage of silver wheat
would be worth twice as much as it is
now. Yet as it is conceded that the
silver dollar would be only worth its
bullion value under free coinage, as it
is in Mexico today, and the farmers
would thus be worse off if they got
twice the prese Mt price of their wheat
and got it in dollars worth only { 43
cents. Senator Jones has no means tf
substantiating his assertion that IL e
price of wheat would double und r
free coinage except by admitting tt at
the dollar which would be paid would
be worth only half that which is now
being paid. In point of fact, it would
he less than half, as is seen by the cen
ditions in Mexico: where dollar con-
tanning more silver than that in our
own dollar is worth but 43 cents. Sen
ator Jones may be great fipancier,
but the average farmer is sufficiently
we'll posted in matters OF that sort to
know that two Accent dollars are worth
Less than one 100-cent dollar.

--latest portr it,

Here is the latest portrait of Lord
Kelvin, better known % sc ence and
lsterature as Sir William Thompson.
Together with many other distinguish
ed savants, who number among them
at least half a dozen titled English
men, he is travelling over the Canadian
Pacific railrOad on a tour of observa-
ton of the new and interesting things
on the continent. Lord Kelvin was
the most prominent figure at the late
meeting in Toronto of the British As
location for the Advancement OF
Science. He is known in England as
the ''prince OF physicists, and
has made himself popular by
his lucid treatment in the mag
azines of subjects that before his time
had been handled too abtruse ly
for common people. He was raised to

the peerage of Great Britain and Ire
land in 1892 for distinguished services
in the interests of science. He is a
very hard worker, a prolific writer,
and an eloquent speaker, but is es-
pecially recognized for having solved
so many problems in marine tele-
graphy. 1t was for in venting system
of transoceanic signaling that he was
knighted by Mr. Disraeli in 1866. He as
also invented quadrant and pOrtab
electrometer, cOmpeps stated compasses
for iron ships, machine for the an
alysis of tidal currents and many 9th
err articles of value to navigatOrs.
Lord Kelvin was born in Belfast,
Ireland, in June, 1924. He is almost a
giant in stature, but is as gentle rs 8

REMARKS.-The fact that immi gra-
ton which was 1-3 larger in 1896 than
IN 1895 has fallen in 1897 below that OF
1895 is another illustration of the law
tn at the mum Der of immigrants depends
upon the degree of Industrial activity
IL this country. And this leads to two
important COL illusions: First, that i'm
~ grafton will increase again rapidly
IS business activity increases; second,
that the pr, sent is the time when the
inning ration laws can be amended with
the least hardship to immigrants and
the least disturbance to the i'm migra-
ton service.
In regard to European immigration
in 1897 it may be noted that while the
proportion of the total immigration
from South Eastern Europe has not
diminished, the proportion from North
Western Europe which was 81 per cent
in 1895 and 80 per cent in 1896 is only
80 per cent this year,--a steady dec
line.
OF immigrants from particular count
ries the Swiss, Scotch and Portuguese
nave this year fallen below the num-
Der of 1000 while the Poles have In
creased again above thai number.
The proportion ebarred and return
ed steadily diminishing having been
per cent in 1898, 90 per cent in 1896
and being 0.o per cent this year.
There has been some decrease in gen.
eral illiteracy and an increase in tn
average amount of moley brought by
each immigrant, as compared with last
year.

Frederick Rhenaeo and Gus Moser two

sent in from Box 1lG, at Eighth and
Washington STREETS. The Friendship
was the first to arriv, on the scene and
did effective work. Meanwhile the two
takcrs attempted to stop the progress Of
the fire with portable chemical appar
atns, but were overcome by the smoke
and had to be removed. They were taken
to DR.. Smith Cooper's drug store where
they received attention. The portion of
the building which was burned was

mounted by frame slpcr-structurc.
Damage to the building by fire and

Their plan showed thorough know

cessfully carried out.
The rear window of the store is quite
some distance from the ground, and to
overcome this difficulty the thieves used
a ladder The window was fastened
by latch and this obstacle was over
come by cutting the glass in front Of the
catch and turning it off.
Once inside they proceeded to loot the
show cases OF an assortment Of pocket
books. Here is where they made their
blunder. They were attracted by the
appearance of the articles which bore sill
yer corners and clasps and took these in
preference to many more valuable but
palmer goods, which were contemptuous-
; " showed aside.
They secured quite lot of these, how
ever. and departed. by the rear window,
leaving it "ycn and also leaving the lad
der standing by the window. 1t is said
that over 800 worth Of empty pocket
books were secured by the cnterprising

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29.-All day long
there was a constant stream of visitors
to the Chestnut Street National Bank
and Chestnut Street Trust and Saving
Fund to sign their assent to the plan for
the liquidation OF the two defunct in
stitutions.
Col. William NJ. Singerly was on hand
all day consulting with the directors of
the two concerns and answering ques-
tions and explaining the details of the
plan for paying the creditors of both in
stitutions. The apparent unanimity
with which the proposition for getting
Mr.. Singerly out OF his present difficulty
was received was gratifying.
The blanks for signature were offered
at the bank and the trust company.
which are in the same building, at the
Record office, and at several other places
in the business section Of the city. At
every place where they were available
there was the same eagerness for signing
as was shown at the bank
1t Is thought from the interest shown
today by che depositors and their will
ingness to sign their assent to the plan
that ina few days more than enough
depositors will sign their assent to the
| plan for liquidation to assure its success,
and then the work will be taken up and
pushed forward on Il most practical bust
ness basis
| There was some considerable doubt as
to tie plan Of liquidation proposed by
Mr. Slngery being accepted by the otlic-
ials Of the United States and the state
and city authorities. All these doubts
have been set aside by the action of these
officials and the statements made by
them that the plan is Il feasible one and
that when sufficient assets are assured
the plan will 60 into effect, which it is
thought will be in about 30 days.

Company for a Ten
Year Term.
SPECIAL To THE SCN:

PmrLADELpnIA, Dee. 20.--A meeting
was held in Philadelphia yesterday
1t was one Of the most : igniicant meet.
ings ever held in this city and was held
at the Lafayette Hotel.
In attendance were the most promn-
ent city officials and a cotcric of capital
lists whose united financial abilities make
possible almost any deal that could be
undertaken.
Invitations to this meeting wei" snt
ont by the best known and most success
full lobbyist in the city. The reel picntS
knew what was expected of them and
thcvattcndcd.
At this meeting Il definite plan for
leasing the water works Of the city was
formulated and given the serious CON
sideration Of men who never consider
anything except for Il definite purpose.
The terms OF the lease were about the
same as that just closed for TN" lease Of
the gas works.
An informal discussion OF the plan
was held and at its close each man in
attendance at the meeting knew jnst
what his part in the scheme was to be
and just what he had to do.
The capitalists agreed to back thc
scheme, and I" insure the necessary
funds. The lobbyist agreed t" do his
work, and do it thoroughly. The city
officials promised to fall into line at the
right moment, and the members OF con-
ellis gave the assurance that when the
right moment came the necessary nrli-
nance would be introduced in councils.
1t was thought wise to prcccdc the
movement by junkct of the water com
mittce Of councils, and the prrcaution
was taken.
With the Gas Works deal as a basis
for their calculations, they were able to
calculate approximately the amount OF
plumber necessary to carry oqt the ggan-
tic deal in water.
1t is an open secret here that Mayor
Warwick will, at the expiration Of his
term. be appointed special counsel for
the United Gas Improvement Company
for term of ten years.
Under existing circumstances this is
significant.
1t is interesting to note at this time
that THE SuN is the first newspaper to
mention the proposed grab Of the Water
Works.
The ordinances necessary to the
scheme will hc introduced in council
Immediately after the coming election.
