mechanic few days ago. He said
that Bryan's theory of free silver had
proven true. To make free silver
would be to make money plenty. And
an abundance of money would make
it cheap, cheap money would enhance
the price OF all dther things especially
wages. He said the advance in com
modities and wages was brought about
by cheap gold. And gold was made
cheap by new discoveries of gold fields
and the great improvement in ex-
tracing the gold. | asked him If
that was the cause offmeat, iron and
steel being so high. He replied ''No
that has an artificial value brought
about by the trusts and corn potatoes

owing to a partial failure in the West

about by the cheapness Of gold and

ment vas given out at the palace:
"There is no cause for alarm in
the distress caused by dressing the
wound. Fhis occurs at least twice
daily. The wound, which is of con.
siderable depth, is dressed from the
bottom, as it is essential that it
should heal from within outward. The
dressing causes his majesty consid-
cradle pain, which he has borne with
great fortitude. In fact has ma
jesty's courage and patience call for
the greatest admiration. The king
was much benefited by the change
TO the couch yesterday, on which he
stayed for few hours. The electric
fans have proved of great value in
keeping down the temperature of the
apartment. The queen is in constant
attendance in the sick room, but the
utmost quiet is enforced. The king
occasionally sees his childg an, but
1he interviews are of short duration
No matters Of state or business are
