this morning, in an article from special
correspondent. to the effect that the di-
rectors of the Bank of England have con-
sented to hold one-fifth of the Bank re-
serve in silver. has caused much excite
ment on the Continent.
The Governor of the Bank of England,
Mr.. Albert George Sandeman, when ques-
toned on the subject today by a repre-
sentative of The Associated Press, refus-
ed to confirm or deny the report. From
other Bank of England officials, however.
it was learned that the article was prob
ably ballon d. essai sent up at the ins
stance of the Government, in order to
ascertain the temper of the people on the
subject before giving final answer to
the United States Monetary Commission,
beaded by Senator Edward o. Wolcott,
of Colorado.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon,
commenting upon the report referred to,
says
This startling rumor is such bolt
from the blue that we would fain be-
lieve there must be some mistake. Should
the suggested action Of the bank have
substantial foundation in fact, the whole
commercial world will Immediately rise
up in arms and protest against so dan-
gerous an innovation. Our contemporary
darkly hints at pressure from high quar-
ters and with equal mystery suggests
weighty affairs of State as a possible
explanation for this sudden and unex-
pected departure from the straight and
narrow path. But the business commun-

PAOLO JUMPED HIS BAIL.
Release Secured by Threatened Ha-
beaa COrpua Proeeedfugs.


Recorder McDonough's police court, in
Hoboken, was the scene of an exciting
proceeding this morning. 1t came about
over the arrest of Felicita Francisco
Paolo, an Italian, who is wanted in Syra-
cuse, N. Y, on a charge of atrocious
assault and battery. Paolo was arrested
in Syracuse last Sunday night, and Chas.
Smith, a well-to-do resident of the city,
signed his bail bond for $780, Paolo
Jumped his bail the next day and
started for Hoboken with the intention
of sailing for Italy. He was about to
board the steamship Ems this morning
when Smith appeared with a warrant for
his arrest and had him locked up at
Police Headquarters.
A few minutes after the arrest, Sena
tor DAILY, who had been engaged by
ough and demanded that the prisoner be
released, on the ground that the warrant
for his arrest was not sufficient legal
evidence to hold him in custody.
Recorder McDonough at first refused
to countenance Senator Daly's argument,
but when the latter declared that he
would apply for writ OF habeas cor
pus, he concluded to consent to Paolo's
release.
The action of the Court made Smith
angry. He made an attempt to argue
his case, but while he was talking Paolo
walked away. He then ran out after
Paolo and tried to hold him. The next
minute the men began to fight and Po-
licemen Differs and Hayes arrested both
for disorderly conduct. When they were
brought back to Police Headquarters the
Recorder fined them each s..
Senator DAILY paid Paolo's fine at once
and hurried him off towards the ferry be-
fore Smith could get chance to follow.
Smith left the court room disgusted over
his experience.

Wonderful Production OF Precious
Metals Since 1890.

The annual product of precious metals
in the Pacific States since 1890 has
averaged IS tons of gold and 1900 of silver
worth 100 million dollars, which exceeds
the value of precious metals that any
country has yet produced, in the history
of mankind
If the agriculture of the whole Union
were on the same footing as in the
Pacific States the improved area under
farms Cat rs acres per hand) would reach
615 million acres or 70 per cent. more than
economical is the labor applied in the
States, where machine with a couple
men. cuts, threshes, winnows. and ba
60 acres of wheat in day. The large
farms on the Pacific slope are in Nevads
averaging 1900 acres, the smallest III
Utah, average 1876 acres. In the latter
State the number of improved acres gives
only 80 acres to each farm hand, which
shows that the labor of two Mormon
farmers is required to produce as much
industry on the part of Mormons, but be-
cause small farms are ill-suited to labor
saving machinery of the newest kind
There is an immense field for agriculture
as yet undeveloped, the Pacific States
having only per cent. of their area under
farms (even including lands that are un-
improved) whereas the farming area of
the Union is 20 per cent. of the superficial
extent.
In whatever aspect we may view the
pear marvellous. Although of such re-
cent formation that most of them have
sprung into existence since 1860, they pos

SIXTY DAYS FOR A SLAP.

Andrew Lanaway, accompanied by a
jag, went to Mary Schmalz's house. No.
"a Grand street, Hoboken, on August 81,
and began to amuse himself in variety
of ways. Mrs. Schmalz ordered him to
leave the house and he punched her in the
nose. At his trial in the Special Ses-

a whole lot of fellows were rushing the

them, and one of them told Mrs.
Schmalz to make that kid stop throwing
water.

wanted

Assistant Prosecutor Noonan.

he won for himself seven years in State
Prison and fine of $1,000, which If not
paid will extend his stay behind the bars
to ten years.
Hunt was twice dismissed from the
police force,< once for drunkenness
and again for brutality. Chief
Murphy frequently advised him to
get out of the department be-
cause of his ungovernable temper.
While on the force Hunt figured in many
ugly scrapes, but through his brother
James. he managed to escape punishment.
He has threatened to kill Detective Dalton
several times
Hunt has been out of work for a long
time and has been drinking heavily. 1t
is supposed that his mind has become un-
balanced His dislike for Doyle is of
recent birth. Only a few weeks ago
Doyle and Dalton happened to be stand
ing at Newark avenue and Grove street.
On the opposite corner stood Hunt sur
rounded by crowd. He was drunk and
wanted to kill rome one. Doyle told
Hunts brother of iihe occurrence and ad-
vised him to warm him to stop drinking.
1t was that friendly suggestion that
caused last nights trouble.

STEAMBOAT CAPTAIN AT FAULT
Maso ms Not to Blame for the BIunder
ON ThuradaY Night.

1t appears that the unfortunate blum
der by which nearly. two hundred people
were deprived of seeing the Masonic pic
mic at Ulmer Park on Thursday night
last was due to the steamboat captain
and not to the Committee of Arrange
ments. That body gave orders that the
boats should stop at the Morris street
dock, but the captain, unknown to them,
obtained permission from Mr.. Chas. B.
Thurston to land at the Adams Express
pier. OF course, the public knew moth
ing of this, and while they were waiting
for the departure of the boat from one
dock, a hundred yards away there was

THE WATCH WAS STOPPED.

David Bin1ey, of Fourth street, Harri-
son, was not feeling well on July 80, and
he thought that walk out in the coun-
try would benefit him. After walking un-
til he got tired, he sat down under
tree and fell off into a doze. He was
rudely awakened by feeling a tug at his
watch and on opening his eyes he saw
Frank Ruhnke standing over him with
the watch in his hand. Ruhnke was
convicted in the Special Sessions Nyester-
day of attempted larceny from the per-
son and sent to the County Farm for six
months.

OHILD's MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.

Little Rosie Beltz, a five year old child,
of No. 113 Madison street, Hoboken, had
a miraculous escape from death last
night. She was standing on chair near
fourth story window in her home when
she suddenly lost her balance and fell
out. Mrs. Beltz was in another room,
and was not aware of the accident until
one of the tenants came running upstairs
and informed her that her child was ly-
ing in the rear yard. When she got down
Rosie was unconscious. Her head was
badly cut and her whole body was
bruised.
DR.. Drazel was summoned, and after
an hours hard work he succeeded in re-
storing the child to consciousness. AS
far as he could ascertain none of Rosie'S
bones were broken. 1t is believed that
she struck clothes line in her fall which
probably saved her from instant death.

HAZLETON'S HORROR
Score of Dead and Two

oMINoUs QUIET PREVAILS
Coroner ImpaneIs a Jury More
TROOPS Gathering to Pre-
serve Order.
OMINOUs QUIET PREVAILS

HAZLETON. Pa, Sept. II, 1S97.-Nine-
teen dead and forty-one wounded is the
record of the Winchesters welded by the
deputy sheriffs at Lattimer yesterday
afternoon. Eleven of the unfortunate
miners dropped dead in their tracks under
the terrible battery, four more died dur
ing the night and four were added to the
record this morning. The work of identi-
flying the dead was actively going on all
night and is still so far from complete
that an accurate list of the victims will
not be obtainable for some time to come.
The Ninth Regiment of the Third
Brigade, under Colonel Dougherty of
Wilkesbarre, was the first detachment
of the State militia to arrive. They came
in after nine o'clock this morning and
camped on the common in the centre of
Hazelton. The Pittston, Lebanon and
Mahanoy men had not made their appear
ance up to ten o'clock.
Coroner Bowman has empanelled jury
and the inquest into the bloody affair will
probably be held this afternoon.
So far from being wildly excited this
morning, Nthis place is pervaded by sort
of sullen quietude which appears even
more ominouS.
ALI SOElS Ol TuIQOTS are dl1Odl, one Dclh5
to the effect that three thousand strikers
from the South Side mines were marching
on Hazelton with the purpose of wreak-
ing vengeance for the shooting. They
had not reached here by noon and it was
later reported that they had dispersed
upon learning of the presence of the
troops.
The arrival of the soldiers was not
marked by any demonstration further
than the gathering of large but orderly
crowd. Indignation against the deputies
is running high and the charge is publicly
made that there was absolutely no neces-
sity for the horrible slaughter.
The miners, it is declared, were not
armed in any way, and if the deputies
feared trouble a single shot over their
heads would have dispersed them. The
fact is undisputed that many of the vic
Tins were shot through the back while
flying from the guns of the deputies. The
local police force has been considerably
increased and has received orders from
Chief Filler to stop the slightest attempt
at disorder. While Filler does not antici-
pate any outbreak, yet from his long ex-
perience with the foreign element he con-
siders them wary and treacherous. Mayor
Altmiller, of Hazleton, has been i'll for
some. time and is now laid up with rheu-s
hatism. The physicians have fatty re-
fused his desire to take a hand in the
trouble.
