SILVER AND BANK OF ENGLAND.
On Condition That the French Mint
In Opened to Free Coinage.

London, Sept l7.-At the semi-annual
meeting Of the Bank of England yester-
day the governor said:
You are probably aware of the pro-
pOsals laid before the government in
the past summer by the United States
and France whereby the country might
increase its use of silver as a contribution
to an international agreement, which.
while not affecting our gold standard,
might enable the mints Of France and
America to resume free coinage Among
the proposals was one asking this bank
to hold the amount Of silver permissible
under the act Of 1874 as against its
notes.
The governor then read a letter dated
July 20, addressed to the chancellor of
the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach.
1t was as follows:
Referring to our conversation, we beg
to say that the bank is prepared 10 carry
out what is laid down as permissible in
the bank charter, viz: To hold one-fifth
OF its note issue in silver, provided al.
ways that the French mint j. again
opened to the free coinage Of silver. and
that the price at which silver Is procIr-
able and saleable are satisfactory"
Replying TO questions, the governor
said the bank had not any negotiations
with the United States monetary commits
sioners, adding: we have bought no
silver. All we have done is to agree, un-
der certain circumstances, to carry out
what is permissible under the act of
1874"

BIG BLAST AT KETTLE RIVER.
Work on the Rock for the Capitol
In Progress.


The Pine County Courier says the
Sandstone quarries are employing over
100 men every day. Thirty Of these
are stone cl1tterseand eight more are
paving cutters. This force will be kept
at work during the winter, If the
weather permits, and it Is quite prob
able that, from the present outlook,
some additions viii have to be made.
This week the work on a Keokuk, To-,
building will be finished, and work
will be pushed on the capitol job,
though nothing Of that will be shipped
until after the first Of the year. In
fact, a few cars of this latter are al
ready cut and piled up in the yard.
A big blast was made in the quarry
on the 11th. and a block Of fifteen
feet wide by as many thick and lack
ing only a couple of feet of being 100
feet long, containing over $4,000 cubic
feet, which would load more than 100
cars, was moved more than four feet
from It's ancient resting place by six
and three-QuarterS kegs of black pow
der. This feat was accomplished
through the successful operation Of
the Knox system of blasting in use
in the quarry. It cracks the blocks
out as square as though hewn out by
woodman's ak. 1t Is one Of the sur
prises that greets the eyes Of one I'M
acquainted on the first visit to the
quarry. The huge block lies just below
the stripping at the back and about
the middle Of the quarry and just above
the monster blast made last August
which contained 1900 feet more stone
than this one. The blast Of last sum-
mer has not been touched nor will it
be for some time, though the work of
quarry1ng the stone just moved into
DOCKS or six or eight feet square is
already well under way.

WARDEN woLFER DENIES
That He Tried to Get Rogan to
Swear Falsely.

i noticed this morning said War
den Wolfer to a G 10 re correspondent
yesterday, that Moshik, who is in Jail
In Minneapolis, awaiting execution for
murder, makes a statement in which
he claims that he was offered a parole
provided he would take the stand for
the state in the case of James Rogan,
convicted of an assault upon Guard
Martin Powers. This is untrue, and
has no foundation whatever On the
contrary he was anxious to testify
against Rogan and came to me person
ally offering to take the stand for the
state. / knew him to be a habituai
liar and in fairness to Rogan I refused
to use his testimony which would have
been very damaging. Moshik's appli-
cation for parole, as well as that of Ro-
gan, had been denied by the board of
managers before the assault occurred.
Rogan was allowed all the convict tes-
tinony in his defense that he desired,
ard the board of managers also allowed
him to spend his good time earnings in
paying his attorneys fee. 1 Simply
make this statement in order that the
public may know the truth of the mat
ter"
