Views on Silver in England.

London, Sept. THE advance in
the price of silver is supposed to be
due to the holding back of supplies by
America and by the idea that silver
currency will be wanted in India The
purchases were chiefly for immediate
shipment by people having contracts
to fulfill in India and China.
The Times and the Standard concur
in the opinion that the impression
that India will buy silver is mista-
ken one. The currency department
in India holds 10 orores of rupees
which will be released against gold in
the event of gold being exported to
India.

Mrs. Mckinley are having a delight
full visit here. The weather is perfect.
The city is at its best in appearance.

Idaho Convicts Re esIsed.

Boise, Idaho. Sept. IF large
r of convicts incarcerated in the
.aano penitentiary are turned loose
upon the people before many weeks,
it will be the fault of the recent de
cision of the supreme court, multiplying
a majority of Idahos laws.
Most of the criminals sent up since
1893 were convicted on information of
the district attorney, without a grand
jury indictment. The act providing
for informations, passed in 1891, is said
to be unconstitutional under the
supreme court decision, and habeas
corpus proceedings will be commenced
shortly which will PROFESSIONALLY
secure freedom for a number of the
men.
The matter will come up first as an
outgrowth of convictions at the pre-
sent term of the district court in this
county. The legislative records on
the passage of the information act
show that the constitution was sus-
pended by unanimous consent on the
passage of the bill, the supreme court
holding that an aye and nay vote to
suspend is mandatory and any AIT
passed otherwise is unconstitutional.
Persons convicted under indictments
cannot secure relief

ST. Louis, Sept. William j. Bry-
an, in a letter, gives the first utter
ance after three months of travel and
observation. Among other things he
says:
Wheat has risen because the for
eign crop has been exceedingly short.
The fact that silver and wheat have
parted company will cause no dismay
10 those who understand that the law
of supply and demand regulates the
price of both.

at Fort Gibson. Some of the intruders
have appealed their cases TO the
United States court, and will ask for
An injunction restraining the agent
until their status as citizens can be

MINERS BECOME DEyeERATE.
Situation of Affairs at skaguay Becoming
Serious


Seattle, Wash, Sept. 6.-George B
Kittinger, manager of Millionaire AID
dicks Klondike expedition, arrived
from the Skaguay trail on the steamer
queen. In an interview he confirms
the dark accounts sent out of the con
dition of affairs at Camp Skaguay.
Miners are breaking down under the
terrible strain caused by the hard
ships they are compelled to endure
Failures are numerous. Thieying and
crime has increased to such a degree
that on Friday Aug. 27, the executive
committee met and promulgated an
order TO the effect that the first naan
caught stealing would be hanged
without even the formality of trial
or leave TO say his prayers.
1t is impossible to exaggerate the
serious nature of the situation at the
White pass. Disorgapized and dis
heartened, the miners have failed to
act in concert in the work of repairing
the trail, consequently little has been
done. The trail is now in worse shape
than ever. 1t is utterly impossible to
a man without plenty of horses, and
even the best equipped parties make
progress very slowly. Trouble is sure
TO come in the miners camp. They
are being driven to desperation by
failure and hardship and a feeling of
complete recklessness prevails.
Mr.. Kittinger returned to complete
some business arrangements concern
ng the expedition.

Historic Documents.

With the usual luck of Chicago and its
institutions, the Historical society of that
city has just fallen heir, under peculiar cir
cumstances, to large collection OF very
valuable old documents relating tO early
transfers of land from the Illinois Indians
to white settlers. Years ago these papers
came into the possession of Henry Nj. Sing
or, then a resident of Chicago. He after
ward determined to remove 10 California
and a friend Of his, :. II. kerfoot, told
him that he ought to give the papers to the
Historical society. He did not do so, but
turned them over to Mr. Kcrfoot, saying:
Keep the documents, aud if 1 die flrst
give them to the society. IL you die first
1 will send for them and may change my
mind about their disposition. BY sin
eular chance both men died on the same
day, but the death Of Mr.. Singer took place
12 hours before that Of his friend. The
deeds have now been handed over to the
Chicago society. Had Mr.. Singer survived

THAMES At eLAckFRIARs.
4 F1sssssssus Plsce In Days Of Good
Queen Besa.

-
Queen Bess.
"Master Skylark," tho story of Shakes
peare's time In st. Nicholas, gives many
interesting glimpses of old London. among
them the following:
Nick and the master player came down
Ludgate hill to Blackfriars, landing In
stream of merrymakers, high and low,
rich and poor, faring forth to Londons
greatest thoroughfare, the Thames, and as
the river and the noble mansions along the
Strand came into view, Nick's heart beat
fast. IL was sight to stir the pulse.
Far down the stream the grim old Tow
er loomed above the drifting mist, and
higher up old London bridge, lined with
tall houses, stretched from shore to shore.
There were towers on IL with domes and
gilded vanes and the river foamed and
roared under it, strangled by the piers.
From the dock at ST. Mary Averies by the
bridge to Barge house stairs tho landing
stages all along the river bank were
thronged with boats, and to and fro across
the stream wherries, punts, barges and
water craft Of every kind were plying busi-
ly. In middle stream sailboats tugged
along with creaking sweeps or brown
sailed trading vessels slipped away to sea,
with costly freight for Russia, Turkey and
the Levant. And amid the countless wa
ter craft multitude Of stately swans swept
here and there like snowfiakes on the
dusky river.
Nick shifted at the air, for it was full
OF strange odors-the smell of breweries,
of pitchy oakum, Norway tar. spices from
hot countries, resinous woods and chilly
whiffs from the water, and as they came
out along the wharf there were brown
faced, hard eyed sailors there who had
been TO the new Worldwide fellows with
silver rings in their ears and n swagger-
ing stagger in their petticoated legs. Some
Of them held short, crooked brown tubes
between their lips, and puffed great clouds
of pale brown smoke from their noses in a
most amazing way.
Broad bcamed Dutchmen, too, were
there, and swartby Spanish renegades, with
sturdy craftsmen of the city guilds and
stalwart ycomen of the guard in the queens
rich livery.
But ere Nick had fairly begun To stare,
confused by such rout, Carew had hailed
a wherry, and they were half way over to
the Southwark side
Landing amid a deafening din of water
men bawling hoarsely for place along
the Paris Garden stairs, the master player
hurried up the lane through the noisy
crowd. Some were faring afoot into Sur
rey, and some to green st. Georges fields
to buy fresh fruit and milk from the farm
houses and to picnic on the grass. Some
turned aside to the Falcon inn for bit of
cheese and ale, and Others to the play
houses beyond the trees and fishing ponds.
And coming down from the inn they met
q crowd of players, with Master Tom Hey
wood at their head, frolicking and canter-
ing along like SO many overgrown school
boys.

Puxzling English.

An American in London had some busi-
ness to transact recently with German
whom he had never seen. 1t was agreed
10y letter that the American should go to
the town in Germany where his corre-
spondent lived and that the German should
meet him at the railroad station. A tele-
gram was to be sent by the American no.
tifying the German as to the day and hour
of his coming and the train and telling
the German how to recognize the Ameri-
can.
The telegram was sent and received.
The German got out his English German
dictionary and carefully translated the
telegram, and then he grew wild with de-
spair. He rushed out among his friends,
exclaiming, How am I to recognize a
man who is tall and short and fat, with
money in hts hat?'
"Tall and short and fat, with money In
his haiti" cried his friends. "No one can
identify such a person.
So the German went from one to anoth-
er asking the same question until the train
was due
"How shall 1 know him?" the German
walled as he made his way TO the station.
"Tall and short and''- he was repeating
to another friend in the station when the
friend interrupted him. LET me see the
telegram" he said. The German produced
it and the puzzling part read:
look for "a man who is tall, little
stout, with checked cap.'f
The friend translated il properly, and
the German had no difficulty in picking
out the American among the incoming
passengers York sun.
