"These facts of themselves are sufficient to account for the decline which hns taken place. Then again, all sorts of roorbacks nave been telegraphed from London to this country to the etlect that Austria-Hungary was about to adopt the gold standard; that the Latin union would not be renewed at the end of this year, and that Belgium -would be forced to redeem in gold her silver coins held by the Bant of France; that a large amonntof paper money would bo issued in India, thus doing, away with the normal demand for silver for that empire, and sundry other rumors to the same purpose, the purpose and etlect of which was to weaken tho price of silver. This is readily understood Ironi an examination of the price of Indian exchange as quoted in London. The price rose from Is 5d on Jan. 4 to Is 834d on Ang. 23 of the present year; that is. from Sl cents to 42 cents, an increase of 72 cents perrnpee. That is to say every English merchant who had a bill to pay in India has to pay 72 cents per rupee more for a bill of exchango than he did on the 1st of January, which increased cost was occasioned by the rise in the price of silver brought ahont by the legislation of this country. So, too, with South American exchauges and exchange on China, the improvement in which was about 20 per cent, TRODUCTION STIMULATED BY THE NEW LAW. "It is well known that we are in the midst of the most active mining season. Undoubtedly the production of silver has been stimulated by the passage of the new silver law. I have just returned from a visit to the largo silver mines in the West, and 1 know from personal observation that mines are producing large quautities of silver to-day which were shut down when the price of silver and lead reached a very low rigare. But it must be remembered that we are approaching a period of winter months when mining is not so active, and, moreover, that the present activity in working mines naturally results in more rapidly exhausting their lodes. Silver is not a product which can be purchased like cereals or manufactured goods, ad libitum, hat when tho supply runs out in one place, new find must be made before additional products can be obtained. So far as my information extends there have been no new silver 'bonanzas' discovered, and, aside from the discovery of valuable silver lead properties in Australia, I am not aware of any large deposits of silver which have been discovered vithin the last year or two, certainly none recently. So that it is fair to asjnrae that the silver product for anv considerable period, unless there are new discoveries, will not be materially increased by the present active working of the mines. "No sensible person likes to make prophecies, especially on a subject which has proved so illusive as silver, but certainly one who 'has made a close study of the silver question' ought to find in the facts mentioned sufficient causes for the recent decline without seeking for imaginary reasons and casting t.lurs upon the Treasury method of purchases. The new silver lawhas been executed by the Treasury Department in the utmost good faith and in the same friendly spirit towards silver which characterized tho passage of the act, and the mannerof its execution has not had the most remote bearing npon the recent decline in price." PATENT OFFICE RULING.

Stockholm Held to De the Inventor of a IJcerFllterer in General Use. Washington, Oct, 28. Commissioner Mitchell, of the Bureau of Patents, to-day rendered an important decision in tho case of Swietusch against Stockheim, involving the right to a certain beer-fflterer and a filtering process for purifying beer now in very general use in this country. It appears from the record that Stockheim's applications were first in the Patent Office. Seweitusch, however, claims to be the first inventor of the apparatus for practicing the process, as well as the nrocess itself. The only question involved, therefore, is that of priority of invention, the board of examiners-in-chief of the Patent Offioe found for Sewituscb. On appeal to the Commissioner, however, their decision was reversed and priority was awarded to Stockheim. This decision follows that of Judge Uresham, recently rendered in the suit brought by Simon and Frederick Uhlmann as assignee of the Stockholm patent against Bartholomew and the Leicht Brewing Company. Very large interests are involved in this decision, inasmuch as the invention is said to be valued at several million dollars. 31 IN OH MATTERS. Attorney-General Miller's Instructions Concerning the Anti-Lottery Law. Washington, Oct. 28. Attornej'-gencral Miller has sent a circular letter to all United States attorneys, calling attention to the act of Congress approved Sept. 19, 1800, entitled "An act to amend certain sections of the Revised Statutes relating to lotteries and for other purposes," vith the suggestion that they carefully examine the same and spare no effort in its enforcement. He says: "Every violation of this law, either by individual or corporation, in tho dissemination of lottery literature, or in any other way, should be brought to the attention of the grand jury, and wherever indictments are found vigorous prosecutions should follow, to the end that this nefarious business may bo suppressed. In the enforcement of this law there should be hearty co-opperation on the part of ihe district attorneys, the United States marshals and the postblhce inspectors." Similar instructions'have been sent to United States marshals. " , Patents Issued to Iloosler Inrentors. Washington. Oct. 28. Patents wero allowed Indiana inventors to-day as follows: Horace E.

Ruling in Regard to th Customs Act. Washington, Oct. 28. The Solicitor of the Treasury has given an opinion in regard to manufacturers' statements prescribed by Section 6 of the customs administrative act, and affected by Section 11 of the same act. He says that, considering the fact that the intention of the statute was the prevention of frauds on the revenue on the importation of merchandise paying ad valorem rates of duty, and that as no reason appears why its application should extend to goods paying purely specificrates, this statute does not require importers to furnish certificates of the cost of manufacture of goods paying specific rates The Secretary of the Treasury indorses this conclusion, and has requested the Secretary of State, in case he concurs therein, to instruct United States consular o Ulcers to act accordingly. Fatal Runaway Accident. Washington, Oct.2S. A fatal runaway accident occurred in this city to-day by which Mrs. Margaret 'Gantt, widow of the late Lieutenant Gantt, of the navy, was killed and her daughter. Miss Clare Gantt, very seriously injured. The two ladies wero out in their own carriage with a colored man driving, when the horse, which was somewhat fractious, took fright and bec&mo unmanageable. The ladies, fear ing for their lives, jumped out of "the carriage, with the result above stated. Mrs. Gantt and her daughter had raanv friends in St. Louis, Mo., and Mrs. Gantrs brother-in-law was at one time a prominent official in that city. General Notes. Washington, Oct. 28. The President today granted a pardon to Charles 11. Condon, convicted, in Wyoming, of robbing the mails, and sentenced to life imprisonment, Feb. 1879.

Importers Make a Customs Ruling the Pretext to Test Speaker Reed's Decisions. New York, Oct. 28. Upon the application of Messrs. Ballin, Joseph & Co., importers of this city, Jndge Lacombe, of the United States District Court, to-day granted an order requiring the customs' appraisers to produce all the records and papers iu their oossession regarding the appraisement made upon certain cloths which the firm imported. The firm allege that they entered at the port of New York certain manufactures of worsted, which arrived here by the City of Richmond. July 10, 1$00. The collector adjudged the consignment dutiable at C cents a pound and 35 per cent, ad valorem. They gave notice of their objection to the collector and he sent the matter before the board of appraisers, who held to the collector's figures. Application was made to the Secretary of the Treasury, who sustained the collector's decision. , The plaintiffs have made the following statement of errors of law and fact: They say that the goods were determined to be woolen cloths instead of manufactures of worsted; that the Secretary of the Treasury has not seen the goods, nor classified them as woolen cloths or otherwise. On the point of errors of law they say that the goods when valued at about 40 cents a pound, aud not exceed ing CO cents a pound, they are liable to duty of only 18 cents a pound and S5 per cent, ad valorem, and when valued at over 00 cents a pound and not exceeding SO cents a pound, are liable to a duty of only 23 cents a pound and 85 per cent, ad valorem, under the act of March 3, 1890. The plaintilis also contend that the act of May 9, 1890. entitled "An act to provide for the classification of worsted cloths as woolens," does not apply, because the act was not passed according to law. There was no quorum in the liouse when the bill was certified to havo been passed. They allege that the bill was not legally enacted, though passed by the Speaker of the House of representatives, when it had not been. t i . NATURAL GAS AT PITTSBURG. ' Manufacturers' Supply to Be Cat Off To-Day A Boon for the Coal-Dealers. PlTTsnuno, Pa., Oct. 28. The order of the Philadelphia Natural-gas Company withdrawing fuel from puddling furnaces, which goes into effect to-morrow, is a hard blow to the iron manufacturers. It is estimated that five hundred fnrnaces will undergo enforced idleness by the order until they can be prepared for the nse of coal. It is rumored that the gas supply may be again furnished, but the opinion expressed by. the mannfacturers is -that unless they can secure their gas supply from other sources they must return to the use of coal permanently. Several manufacturers have already commenced to arrange their fur.naces for the nse of coal. The shortage of - i 4i i. n:i.i .. A iis v iicuciui iuiuukuuuii x uisuuig uuu Allegheny to-dsy. A large proportion of the people who use gas tires were compelled to burn wood or coal. In some parts of the city there was no gas supply. The mills and furnaces consume about two-lift hs of the gas furnished. When this supply is cut oft from the mills the gas will be turned into tho mains for domestic purposes, and, it is believed, will furnish a sufficient supply for all requirements- The coal operators are greatly pleased over the prospect that the mill operators will return to the use of coal. The demand will be heavy, and a revival of business and increased prices are expected. CIRCUS TRAIN WRECKED. Two Men and fight of Barnum's HorsesKilled Near Monticello.Ga.

He was a member of 'the United Brethren Church in good standing since 1854. being in oilice most of the time ana nntil his death. His funeral was attended by more than one thousand of his relations and friends. He had few enemies, but it may be said that some of these have allowed their imaginations to bring back the story of the disappearance of Jamison and to smirch the good name of a dead man. Mr. Taggart was unconscious full twenty-four hours before he died. He could not have made the confession as stated." Vicious Women Sentenced. . Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Muxcie, Oct 28.

Chicago, Oct. 28. The whereabouts of W. S. Whorton, who has been engaged in the money-lenaing business, in this city, for several years, is troubling a number of citizens and particularly the Chicago Trust and Savings Bank and the United States Loan Company. - For over a week Whorton has not been seen, and his wile and creditors have finally concluded he has left the city. It is assertodthat his indebtedness will amount; to $50,000, nearly $40,000 of which is due to the financial institutions named above, it is asserted that Whorton frequently pursued a plan of double-dealing in hypothecating notes made to him. When a note became due, it is asserted he was accustomed to notify the signer that he could not carry it unless a new one was made. When this was done he promised to destroy tho old notes, bnt instead of doiDg so would leave them with the financial institution where he had placed them and negotiate the new one at another place. It is also believed that Philadelphia people will be interested in Whorton's flight. It is asserted that he, with anotbor man, bought, several years ago, the charter of a defunct institution in Philadelphia the old Columbia company.

President Tolman, of the Chicago Trust and Savings Bank, says, however, that but little was paid for the charter. He thinks the Columbia was only one of three or four insurance companies in which Whorton was interested, and that all of these were used only to catch premium-payers, who never got anything out of the companies but their policies.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 28. The following call for a national convention of the Nonpartisan National Women's Christian Teinperauce Union has been made: j To the Nonpartisan Temperance Women of the Nation: , 'A little over nine months ago tho reasons for an uncompromising, unequivocal and untranimeled national organization of temperance women were given to tho people at large, followed soon after by a rallying call, not only to the members of non-partisan women's Christian temperance unions, and members of other unions opposed to the partisan alliance, "but to women outside of these organizations who arc in sympathy with our principles aud methods," to attend a mass convention in Cleveland. Jan. 22, 23 and 24, 190. This convention was attended by women from eleven States and the District of Columbia, and its outcome was the organization of the Non-partisan National W. C. T. U. . In obedience to a provision of the constitution adopted at this convention for the guidance of the new organization, which stipulates that "this association shall meet annually in the month of November," we call upon the delegates from all auxiliary State unions, chosen upon the basis of one for every one hundred paying members, and delegates from unorganized States and Territories on the basis of one delegate for every ono hundred members or fraction over fifty, to assemble in Allegheny City, Fa., to transact the business pertaining to the lirst regular meeting of the Non-partiaan National Women's Christian Temperance Union. To this meeting we Inrite all women in earnest sympathy with us, even if they cannot constitutionally be members of the convention because lacking the required constituency. Let all who believe with us that alliance with any party whatsoever tends to hinder if not defeat genuine temperance work feel themselves specially Invited to this first regular meeting. The discussion of vital questions will be helpful to all, and will dispel the mists that befog so many minds. The reasons which led to this separate organization still exist, although this movement has led the parent society and many of its auxiliaries to irepudiate partisanship by official utterance and otherwise, the facts remain the same, and the necessity of a new rallying center for the non-partisan temperance women or the Nation has been further emphasized in the experiences of the year. Our platform Is broad enough for all. Neither denominational creeds nor party preferences are a test of membership or of loyalty In the new organization; total abstinence from all intoxicating beverages, fealty to gospel temperance work and the payment of dues is the simple basis on which we unite for the extinction of the deadly enemy against which we are arrayed. The non-partisan policy has lust received triumphant vindication in Iowa by a vote of 315 to G3, in favor of severing its auxilLiryship to tut partisan national. Fennsylvania held, Oct. 22, one of the most notable conventions on record In that wide-awake State, bringing together representatives from more local unions than the old organization had at the end of the first six years of its existence. Maine has attained remarkable growth in six months, and tho work gathers momentum "as the days are going by." Ohio has added nearly half to Its former membership within the year. These facts go to show that the non-partisan movement 6truclr a responsive chord in this country, which will continue to vibrato till a great army is'enrolled under its standard to hasten the emancipation of America from the bondage to drink. The principle no partisanship in temperance work, but the fullest liberty outside the organization for the exercise of Individual political preferences and rightscommends itself to fair-minded men and women in tho country at large. Come, therefore, one and all, not only delegates fron organized States and unions at large, but any woman who believes in our platform and principles, come to the national convention of the Non-partisan National V. C. T. U., at Allegheny City, Pa., Nov. 19, 20, 21, 1890. Delegates and visitors should send their names as soon as possible to Mrs. H. c Campbell, No. 187 Sandusky street, Allegheny City, Fa. The call is signed by Ullen J. Fhiuney, president, and F. Jennie Duty, vicepresident. CUPID'S WORK SIMPLIFIED. Remarkable Scheme for Securing Ilasbands or Wives to Order. C New York, Oct 28. On the big glass window of the lirst-lloor flat at 8 St, Mark's place this sign has been conspicuous for the last three weeks, "Administration Merotir." The same 6ign appears on the entrance door of the flat, with the additional information that the "administration is open for business all day and until 10 o'clock at night, week days and Sundays." Under this name two Germans hare started a matrimonial agency on an improved plan. Herr Carl Vogel, the bead of the firm, has had years of experience in Bnda-Pesth, while Herr George Haase has conducted several valuable matrimonial experiments on his own account. Herr Vogel's place in Bnda-Jfesth was called the "Administration Mercur," and be liked tho name so well that he adopted it here. For $3 any one may join this mutual aid society and remain a member for three months. The partners occupy two rooms, the office and reception-room being in front and the privato consultation-room in the rear. The candidate for matrimony enters the office and is hastened into the rear room. There he or she is initiated into the plan of the agency, and, upon depositing $3, tills out a blank calling for the name, native place, age, religion, occupation, income and means or fortune of the applicant. Then he or she gives the manager in attendants a photograph of himself or herself to be filed with the application. Every week the agency issues a bulletin to its subscribers, sending a list of the women to the men and a list of the men to the women. Of course, the names are not put in this list, nor do photographs accompany it. Each one is designated by a number. Then follows information as to whether she is a maiden or I a widow, how old she says she is (the management does not guarantee age;, wnat her religion is, and in the last column how much money she has. The candidate looks over the list and selects a number which has information upon it of a character most pleasing to him. He informs the management that 206, for instance, pleases him. The management then sends him the tilled blank which 20 left, and also her photograph. If he is still willing an interview is arranged in the offices of the "administration." 15 ut before the interview his blank and photograph are sent to the lady, and she also must consent to the meeting. After that the administration gives them its blessing, or else encourages them to try again. While the reporter was in the administrator's office two applicants came in. The first wasamiddle-agedGerman.andthe other an old Irish woman with remnants of youth in her attire. Herr Vogel said applications were coming in at the rate of ten a day.
