A string to n.

The old lady Of Threadneedle street
(Bank of England) has made an offer tc
the bimetallic commission sent abroad
by this country which seems to give
pleasure to some of the friends of sill
ver." Apparently the Bank of England
agrees to hold one-tifth of its reserve in
silver, which it is permitted to do by
an act of parliament of 1874. In reality
it agrees to do so only under conditions
as difficult of realization as If IL had said
"when the sun turns backward in its
course" These conditions are that
the French mint shall 'be again opened
to the free coinage of silver, and that
the prices at which silver is procurable
and salable are satisfactory"
France could hardly open her mints
at any other ratio than her old one of
15h. 1t is practically certain that her
civilization is too far advanced for her
to attempt free coinage at 1872 to !
when the present ratio is about 40 to 1.
When "the prices at which silver is
procurable and salable are satisfac-
tory" may mean anything. AS the
Bank of England cannot use silver in re-
demption of its notes it can afford to
buy silver only when 1t can be ex-
changed for gold withor' risk of loss.
OF course, if France had free coinage at
q fixed ratio the Bank of England could
easily and quickly realize on its silver

day by making eight speeches-one at
Hastings, one at Lincoln, one at South

by having it coined in France, when it
would, if silverism be true, exchange
for gold at fixed ratio. When these
conditions are fully appreciated by the
silverites, they will see what an April
fool" is being played upon them.
Two plausible and possible explana-
tions of this action of the Bank of Eng
land have been suggested. One is that
this offer is intended as sop to the sill
verites to keep alive the silver question
and to keep the United States on an un-
sound basis as long as possible. BY so
doing England would keep her greatest
commercial rival in the same crippled
condition in which it has been for
several decades. The second is that as
British capitalists are the largest own
ers of silver mines and of silver mining
stocks in the world the Bank of Eng
land should "do something for silver"
It Is deemed unfair to the British mine
owners to leave them entirely depend
ent upon their free silver friends in
America

CONDUCTOR BUTLER HELD OVER
Result of the Preliminary Examinatiol ]
 at Tempe

The preliminary examination of Conductor J. H. Butler of the M. & F., charged with shooting Biron Mitch ell, took place before Justice Carley at Tempe yesterday The defendant was bound over in the sum of &, 900. The bond was furnished, signed by Mayor J. C.. Adams and G. H. N. Luhrs, the original bondsmen
 The territory was represented at the examination by Assistant District Attorney J. c. Kellum, and the de- fendanb by Judge Baker and Frank Cox The territory did not make a full disclosure of it's plan of campaign and .,he defense made none at all. The only two ma- terial witnesses put on the stand for the territory were Mitchell, the wounded man, and Grimes, who was with him on the night of the shooting. MiEchell's story differed in no wise from what he said the next day, in what was then believed to be his ante mortem statsment. He identified the conductor as the man who did the shooting
 Grimes was inclined to be a humor- ous as we'll as positive witness After he had said unqualifedly that Conductor Butler was the man who fired the shot, Judge Baker asked him how he knew. He said he had aI- ways been able to distinguish con- ductors by their brass buttons. In his somewhat wandering life ;he had made scientific study of the personal ap. pearance of the genus railroad con- ductor. He was asked also if he had not beaten his way from Phoenix tn Tempe. He replied, with a show indignation, that he had not He .s
 he had bought a pair of new shoes at Phoenix and he voluntarily walked to Tempe to try them.
 Constable Compton testified to the arrest of the conductor and to finding a 3S Smith & Wesson revolver. This evidence was significant only in that tht5 callber was the same as that Oi the bullet removed from Mitchell.
 Dr. c. H. Jones testified as to the nature of the wound. It had been said that the territory had discovered a man to whom the defendant said af: CT the shooting that that was the first time his gun had ever missed fire. It was also said that other persons than Mitchell and Grimes had witnessed the shooting. If the territory was i'm possession of this evidence it q cfded to hold 1t in reserve. The

in its original position again The indica-
tions show that the stone invariably re-
turns 20 its proper position at night. This

pie of the expansion and contraction Of

principle alone that works upon the monu-
ment, In my opinion"
As an Illustration OF the extent to which
a simple fact may be exaggerated, much
alarm was caused when the variation OF
the monument was first discovered At
that time the variations were denoted by
an unprotected plumb line which dropped

plumb line was observed to vibrate spas

closed the fact, however. that an owl had
in some manner entered the shaft. and In
endeavoring to find an exit, had Tapped
his wings so much that the plumb line was
affected by the air currents.

this family about thirty species, of which
eight are supposed 20 be poisonous, and
while the others are edible, beginners are
advised to reject them all
The Distinguishing marks OF the ANA
nita family are white gills on the under
side OF the cap and socket or cup at

Two other marks are eXcressences on
