SILVER HARD HIT.

India's Aotlon In Suspending Coinage a Body Blow.

CABINET TALK ON THE SITUATION.

Congress Mu.t Take Some Action, but the Kxtra Session Will Not Meet liefore September—Dig Depreclatlou Is Noted.

TI1E SILVER QUESTION.

WASHINGTON, June 28.—The action of the Indian government In closing the Indian mints to the free coinage of silver has caused Home uonccrn in administration circles and among the opponents as well as the friends of that metal. In administration circles it is regarded as tending to create sentiment in favor of the repeal of the Sherman silver law. It has hitherto been maintained by the silver men that so long as India absorbed 45,000,000 ounces of silver yearly and threw her mintA open to free coinage there was no danger of the total repudiation of silver as money,-and while it was the polluy of Great Britain to cheapen the oost of silver as much as possible, there was no danger uf her demonetizing it. The silver men have contended that should England close her Indian mints to free coinage of silver it would bring about a revolution that would endanger her hold of her vast Indian possession, as the natives would not submit to having their wealth wiped out at one blow. That the chango of curren*y will produce a commercial revolution and entail disorders for the time being is regarded as likely, and the effect may bo seen in this country through reflex action in Great Britain.

At the oabinet meeting Tuesday the action of the Indian government was discussed with all the seriousness demanded by such an Important announcement. Figures showing the amount of ailver in circulation In the various countries, together with the production of the mines of the world, were examined and the conclusion reached that inevitably the price of silver bullion would still fur'.her decline. Telegrams and letters were read from all parts of the United .States calling upon the president to take some decisive action, and It was noticeable that, while such appeals have come from the east heretofore, the west has now joined in the chorus.

No Session ftlefore September*

Although the cabinet discussion, It Is said, took a wide range, it was necessarily brought back to one important and unmanageable point that the executive had no power in the premises, congress alone being able to deal with the measures for relief. It was plain to the cabinet that the monthly purchase of silver must be continued or else congress must be convened iu special session Immediately. As the president had decided to call congress together in the early part of (jeptember to deal with the financial situation, and manifested no intention of changing his stated purpose, the project of an earlier session of congress, it is understood, was dropped.

So far as the continuance of the purchase of silver bullion under the Sherman law was concerned, it was pointed out that little more than two months remained before congress would convene in extra sdssion, and that during tho intervening time the silver purchased would be only 9,000,000 ounces, a comparatively small amount in view of the previous purchases. That the best way to deal with the question was to await the course of events for two months longer was generally agreed to, and it was with this view dominant that the meeting adjourned. The situation financially is not really as grave as it was when the September session was determined upon, the gold reserve having increased $0,000,000 since then.

Ma)' i'aulie Another Gold Famine.:

The greatest danger which our officials see in the action of the British government is the probability of renewed withdrawals of gold from this country. If silver is totally demonetized by India and a gold currency substituted therefor, very nearly $.00,000,000 will be required, anil if only a partial gold currency is established, according to the estimates of .Mr. Harbour, the iinancial secretary for India, $75,000,000 will be needed. Whether the greater or the less amount is needed, the United States will be called upon to supply it, and another gold famine will be the result.

Our Iollar Depreciates*

One of the immediate effects of the action of India, and of the consequent drop in silver, is the depreciation of the American silver dollar to a very low point. Acting* Director of the Mint Preston said Tuesday that, reckoning silver at 78 cents per ounce, which was flihe market price Monday night, the

American silver dollar was worth exactly 58% oeuts. Later in the day the price fell to 73 cents per ounce, so that the American dollar is now worth scarcely more thau 50 cents.

Calls It a Conspiracy.

A. J. Warner, of Ohio, president of the American Bimetallic league, said: "The stoppage of the coinage of silver in India Is the inauguration of a new monetary revolution, or rather the extension to the far east of the revolution begun in 1972-3 in the western world It is the second act In the sauio great conspiracy. It Is a movement deepseated and will be far-reaching in its consequences. "England has determined, if possible, to force the repeal of the silver purchase law in the United States. The closing of the mints of Bombay and Caloutta 1R A part of the gigantic oonsplraey to seize upon the present opportunity or to establish finally and forovcr the single gold standard and to extend it over the world. This is the critical juncture. The turning point is now. "The immediate consequences will be that silver will fall and gold will lnorcuse in value faster than ever. Prices will soon begin to fall in India. The whole world, in time, will feel theeffeotof the consummation of this last act of the gold conspirators. Prices will continue to fall everywhere as gold rises. The end no one cau see. Every advantage will Inure to oredlt ors and creditor nations. England has set out to subdue the world, not with arms, but with gold, by turning everything to gold

L.ansdowne Explains the Action.

SIMLA, Juno 28.—In explaining to the ludia council tho bill providing for the

stoppage of the free coinage of silver and other monetary measures, the adoption of which wa9 announced Monday, the marquis of Lansdowne, viceroy of India, said that the keynote of the scheme was rather to prevent a further fall in exchange than to raise the value of the rupee. The fixing of the provisional rate of exchange at Is 4d provided an automatic means of preventing ths closing of tHe mints and the violent disturbing of exchange rates. The rate of exchange had been fixed high enough to relieve the government of the most pressing necessities, while it was well within the limits of the late fluctuations. There should be no mistake, the viceroy says, about the facts. It was not proposed to substitute gold for the silver currency. No attempt would be made at present to fix a legal tender price for gold.

Colorado Smelters Affected.

DE.VVER, Col., Juno 28.—The Denver smelters feel very severely the drop in silver. There is no means of knowing where it will end, and for the present they are in an embarrassing state of uncertainty as to what their losses will be. The local smelters have on hand an average of about 500,000 ounces each, enough to last for several months without making any new contracts, but the trouble is now there Is absolutely no market for silver, and if the smelters cannot dispose of the product of their works it will be an impossibilty to continue running. It is estimated that the smelters here and throughout the state have loat in the aggregate $050,000 on ore bought last week and which has fallen so greatly in value in the last two days. Smelters at Pueblo, Leadville, Aspen and other points, it is understood, will follow the action of the Denver smelters. In case they should close many thousands of men will be thrown out of employment, but there is an impression prevalent that before this action becomes necessary a favorable turn will ooour in the silver market.

BERRY WINS.

End «f the Cowboy Ilaoe from Chadron, Neb., to Chicago —The Victor Covers the Distance In Thirteen Days and Sixteen

Hours.

CHICAGO, June *28.—The cowboy race which began at Chadron, Neb., at 5:30 p. in. Tuesday, June 111, was ended at 9i30 a. in., Tuesday by the arrival at "HufFalo Bill's" camp, on Sixty-third street, of John Iterry, winning the race of 1,040 miles in thirteen days and sixteen hours.

Berry's average was 73 miles a day. Gillespie reached the finish line at 1.30 p. in., und fifteen minutes later Charlev Smith arrived. The riders were all enthusiastically greeted. Berry's victor3' is contested on the ground that he prepared the map of the route before announcing his intention to enter the race, and thereby gained an advantage through his familiarity with the road traveled.

Horsemen maintain that this race has been'6l wonderful benefit to the west as showing what western horses can do. The performances of some of these animals has been wonderful—superior to anything ever known before. In the last forty hours of the race Charley Smith covered about 200 miles, a«d his horses finished in excellent condition. Enthusiastic horsemen see in this race the opening of a new branch of commerce. These horses, which have shown that they are fitted fos longv hard journeys, are the product of western plains, where the horse must range for a li.'ing on bunch grass. They are of good blood and their rearing makes them tough. Plainsmen say that this race has been in the nature of an exhibit which will make the western horse the cavalry horse of the world.

KILLED AT A CROSSING.

Two Uves Lost and Two Persons Injured la Chicago.

CNICAOO, June 28.—Without warning a carnage containing four person*, a mother, her two children and a girl friend, was run down by a Chicago, liurlington & Quincy milk train at the Millard avenue crossing Tuesday, and the children were instantly killed.

FOUGHT FOU M1JKUTV.

FOI.SOM, Cal., .June 28. —At 3::I0 Tuesday afternoon a gang of convicts employed in tho upper quarry next to the head gate of the big dam, consisting of George Son lag, life tinier, a cousin of John Sonlag, of the Sontag and Evans gang Russell Williams, Men Wilson and Charley Abbott and a ten-year convict named Dalton, suddenly seized Frank Briare, lieutenant of the guurd, put a pistol to his head and started to run up the hill. Before reaching the top of the hill it was developed that they had two Winchesters and an additional revolver, which had been eoncealcd among the rocks.

Guards Open Fire.

Up to this time the guards had been unable to shoot, as Briare was in the grasp of the convicts, and as they were closely banded together a shot might mean death to him. Just before reaching the summit of the hill Briare jerked away and the guards opened tiro from all directions. The convicts took to the rocks aud concealcd themselves as best they could and returned the fire as rapidly as possible. The regular guard was soon reinforced by the reserves from the prisou and a terrific fight took place, which lasted fully half an hour, during all of which the shots were fired indiscriminately from Gatling guns', Winchesters and revolvers as rapidly as the triggers could be pulled.

Three Were Killed.

At the end of about thirty minutes one of the convicts held up his hat on a rifle, as a token of surrender and Warden Anil, Capt. Murphy and a few guards marched to the convicts' stronghold, where they found Williams, Wilson and Dalton stretched dead on the ground. George Sontag was badly wounded by three or four bullets. He had one bad shot through the body and two through the thigh Abbott was groaning with broken leg. At the beginning of the fight two prisoners were wounded but were immediately carried into the prison by other convicts. None of tinprisoners escaped nor were any of the guards injured in the scrimmage.

CRITICISM.

rt Naturally Follows Gov. Atu'old'fc Action.

SCORED FOR GRANTING A PARDON.

Comments of the Newspapers In Washington and New York —Ilerr Most Peus a Somewhat Incendiary Article.

ALTGELD CONDEMNED.

WASHINGTON, June 28. There has been much comment and criticism in Washington of Oov. Altgeld's course in pardoning the Chicago anarchists. The local newspapers are unsparing in their editorial criticisms. The News characterizes it as "Altgeld's outrage" and heads an editorial with the querjr: "Is Altgeld an Anarchist?" It adds: "Hie sobor senso of the people of Illinois will condemn this action of Altgeld's. There may have been a shadow of justice or a proper degree of clemeucy In pardoning Necbe. For the others there is and can be none. In view of the facts, the action of Oov. Altgeld can only be regarded as a flagrant abuse of the pardoning power."

The Star devotes a column of editorial criticism to the governor. It says: "Oov. Altgeld, of Illinois, may not be entirely blameworthy in releasing the anarchists Fielden, Neebc and Schwab—for the argument that tho prisoners hud been punished sufficiently Is at loast eutitled to consideration—but his terrifllc blow at law and order will raise In the mluds of many serious doubts as to ihe soundness of his citizenship It may be that their punishment has been sufllclently Impressive, but the gubernatorial statement will not upset tho evidonce upon which they were convicted, nor does it furnish solid foundation for an attack upon the judge and Jury."

The New York Press.

The newspapers of this citj all devote considerable space to editorials upon this subject. The World saj's: "The governor's action Is not accepted nor regarded us mercy. It makes martyrs of the men who paid the penalty of tholr revolting crime on the gallows, and sanctifies hereafter the devotion of the day of their execution to memorial services. Let us hope that Oov. Altgeld's aot may \A as powerless to breed mischief In the futuro as it will be to soil the reputation of the nation, of tho judge who presided at the anarchist trial and of the jury who rendered the verdict in the past. But whatever may be Its effect, it is to be regretted that it was ever mado by the governor of a great state."

The Herald says the governor's action is well calculated to startle the pubiic. Referring to Gov. Altgeld's reasons the Herald says: "It is strange that Gov. Altgeld, who has been In offlco six months, has just made this amazing discovery. It Is more remarkable that it was not mode by any of his predecessors during seven years, nor by either the supreme court of Illinois or the supreme court of the United States, both of which affirmed tho conviction. "Anarchy in this country never received a more deadly blow than when Justice was meted out to the diabolical bomb-throwers who terrified Chicago some years aga It Is no time to •Hence the warning then given to anarchists now that the cable almost dally brings news of anarchist unrest in various parts of Europe and we even read of a monument to unarchy just erected In Chicago."

The Tribune: "GOT. Altgeld, of Illinois, has assumed a responsibility of tho gravest character in pardoning the three Chicago anarchists. Ills reasons for s# doing will not bear examination. That the anarchists had a fair trial and were justly condemned Is the universal opinion of Americans whose opinions are worth regard* frig."

Mont's Threatening Language.

Johann Most'B editorial in to-day's issue of the Freiheit is headed: "Justice at Last." lie suys: "After long years of patient hope and waiting, many of us having despaired of ever seeing them again, the prison doors have opened to free our comrades, Fielden, Schwab and Noebe. Millions of hourtii rejoice and welcome these three men, who, for the last seven years, have been locked behind prison bar? through the efforts of capitalistic bloodhounds. We are not ihe only ones who demanded that justice should be done them every right-minded man demanded it it bad to be done for our movement has been so farreaching that every throne, altar and moneybag trembles at the mention of our name. Weicomol We greet them as sotdiers returning to our ranks, ready to again unsheath tho sword against all that is wrong—church, state and capital—and in aid of all things good—anarchy, communism and the social revolution. "Unfurl your blooU-red bannors, comrades, the world over, and Ictus oolebrate this feast of Jubilation for wo have received powerful reinforcements to our army fight, aud victory shall be ours."

In speaking of Altgeld's action in freeing the three socialists he says that he did no more than his duty.

He then scathingly denounces Judge Gary, States Attorney Grinnell and Capt. tionfield, who he says are monsters and beasts who wallowed in anarchist blood, claiming at the same time to be representatives of a great, glorious, civilized century. The trial, he say, was a farce, a fraud, and was the direct result of a conspiracy planned by the government and 'h band of scheming millionaires who used the courts as their tools.

In a scathing denunciation of Gary, Grinnell and Uonfleld, who arc designated as murderers, he asks whether it Is possible that such men are allowed to go free. He wants them tried at once and executed, as they have virtually convicted themselves. Closing he ttfiys: "We must have a reckoning with this blood* sucking crowd, but, comrades, let us be prepared the next time they attack us and give them a hcartlor welcome than that accorded iionfleld and hln horde in IS8&"
