THE FALL IN SILVER.
London Waiting and Watching for
Action Of American SiIverites.
Mexico Connects European Bankers and Tarin
Bill with the Fall

London, July 29--The Globe com
menting on the fall In silver says: "An
augmentation of the worlds gold yield
could not fail to increase the value OF
silver. When California and Australia
poured their auriferous riches into the
market, silver like all other commodi-
ties, acquired an EXCHANGED value. But
the United States then had no accumu-
lations of the white metal; where as
now these have become so numerous
that silver sales can only be effected by
a sacrifice.
This weeks collapse would have
happened some time back but for the
continuous purchases on Japanese ac-
count. That demand has ceased and
China and India are supplied. What
steps the American silverites will pro-
pose to counteract this disastrous state
of things remains to be seen. Their at
titude is specific threat to tamper
with the currency
President Mckinley, possibly for
seeing an attempt of this sort has given
an emphatic warning that he will be no
party I" such perilous work. 1t is for
tunate that the India minis are closed
otherwise the rupee would be more de-
preciated than it is. The coin Keeps its
value remarkably well, and if America
ceases to force the silver markets there
may soon be an Improvement.

FOR GULLIo s MURDER.
Alfred C. williams Of Wakefield Mass. Ar.

Lynn, Mass. July 29.-Alfrcd c. Will

reeted. Wednesday night, on suspicion
of causing the death of John Gullio at
Lynnfield Center, Wednesday morning.
He was brought to Lynn, Thursday
and in the police court was ordered

day morning. The arrest was made By
State Officer George c. Neal of Lynn
and Chief of Police Vannah of Wake.
field. after investigating the circum-
stances of Gullio's death.
officer Neal is hard at work on the
case. and. tonight. upon his return from
the scene of the fire said that con-
siderable evidence had been accumu-
lated. In the room where Gullio was
burned to death was found an oil can
which was peculiar. as II Is known that
Guliio always kept this can in an out
house. 1t is also known that Guliio had
s115 or thereabouts on the night Of the
fire and that he was in the habit OF
keeping part OF his money in the mat
tress and part in his trousers which
We're hung near the bed.
The theory cf the police Is. that the
murderer of Gullio broke into the
house and knowing where the italian
kept his money was going through Gut
hos trousers when the latter woke up.
y terrific fight then ensued. and Gull
lilo was rendered unconscious or per-
haps kill. The fiend then went to the
clubhouse and taking the can of oil
went back to the scene of the robbery
Here he endavored to clear away all
traces of the crime by sprinkling oil
over the body of Gullio. and then af-
ter getting all the money set fire and
escaped.
officer Neal stated, tonight. that Will
ifams' room in y akefeld had been
searched and s75 in bills found under
the carpet. A revolver was also found
but its appearance gave no indication
of having been used for some time
although 1t was loaded.
