BANK OF ENGLAHD'S SILVER.
Doubtful That the Institution viii
Hold its feserye of White
Metal.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. II The
announcement that Ihe directors OF the
Bank of England had consented to hold
one-ifth OF the BANK reserve in silver
was something of a surprise to the treas
ury officials, who doubt the accuracy of
the port.
Secretary Gage said t at he did not see
that the decision if true would appre-
cisIly affect the 81 yer market as it was
unlikely that the Bank of England would
buy on a market that might rise in view
of its decision and then fall after the
necessary amount of silver had been pro-
cured.
Another question with the Secretary
was whether the silver reserve would be
carried in silver coin or in bullion
For five or six years there has been talk
that the Bank of England would carry
part of lis reserve Ill silver. and on sew
eral occasions the positive statement has
been made that it had decided TO do So.
Ii is allowed undel the law, as is known,
10 carry one-iourth of silver. AS this is
nermis sible Secretary Gage would be & ad
to have the bank avail itself of its legal
prerogative in this direction, but doubts
If ii will do so.

PATCHsN AGAIN. BEATEN.
Star Pointer Wins the Match Race
at Mystic Track in Straight
Hedts.

MEDFORD. MASS, Sept. lin spite Of
the gilt-edg ged condition OF the horses anu
track no new records were established III
the Star Pointer-Joe Patchen race at the
Mystic track to-day. Pointer won the race
in two straight heats, the time being
20sA and 2:04I respectively, his fastest
quarter being the last one In the first heat,
which was at a two o-minute clin.
Pat,hen drew the pole. McCleary Grove
Star Pointer and Geers drove Patchen. In
the first heat 500 feet from the finish,
Pointer had his nose in front of Patchen
and the latter could not overtaKe him, and
Pointer shot under the wire winner by a
neck.
In the second heat the word was given
with Patchen a neck ahead OF Pointer
which had the pole this heat. Pointer led
to the quarter-turn by half a length.
This lead was gradually increased to
nearly a length at the half, but at the
three quarters pole Patchen was on even
terms with the pacing king. From that
point the latter steadily forged ahead and
Patchen could do no more than keep his
forelegs abreast o! Pointers wneels. In
this position they finished. The result
gave Pointer the two heats necessary 10
secure the $4,000 purse.
First heat-Star Pointer won in 2 :03sl. The
time by quarter was :3012. :0114, 1 $3.50
second heat-Star Poinler won IN :U4

The ordering OF the Naniwa to IoKo-
hama has more significance than appears
on the surface. 1t is now understood that
Mlni,ter Shimamura had orders to pre-
rare to leave for home if Minister Cooper's s
reply to Count Okuma's last letter was
not satisfactory. This may explain the
true reason of the Naniwas going home.
The answer is clearly not satisfactory
and the chances are that Minister Shima-

sever diplomatic relations with Hawaii a t

IDENTIFIED AS HUMAN B3HES
Experts in the Luetgert Case Give
Positive Evidence Disastrous to
the tausdqe-Maker.

CHICAGO, lit, Sept. 1.-THE State
put IN its time to-day proving that the
bones tax n from the vat in the sausage
factory we're those of human bring, and
the evidence which was produced was
strongly against the prisoner. Professor
George w. Bailey, os;eologist of the Field
Colum bian Museum, testified positively
that of the bones shown him in court
one was from the hand OF n human being,
one from the foot, one was part OF a
human rib and one was a fragment of the
human forearm. The witness did not
qualify his evidence in any degree, but
stated his conclusions in the most positive
manner, driving his testimony nome with
the assertion: They are bones from the
skeleton OF q small person-proba bly, q
woman"
After Professor Bailey came Dr. Robert
A. Howe, who has for many years been
connected with the leading hospitals of
the city, and he gave the same evidenc
as Professor Bailey, also saying that the
bones were from the frame OF "a small per-
son-"rrJbahly a woman"
Portions OF a skeleton were brought
into court and the witnesses showed the
jury just where the fragments of pone
were 10 be found in the iuman body.
After the conclusion of the expert testi-
mony Police Inst ector Setback took the
stand and identified the bones that had
been shown as those that were taken from
the vat in his presence by the officers who
were working under his direction.
1t IS now likely tnat the STATE will rest
its case on Monday If the defense does not
prolong the cross-eXamination OF the
three men who testified to-day.
To demonstrate the fallaey of the iden-
tihcatlon as human bones of the bones in
uoiuced by the prosecution in the Luet-

which the police took from the factory
