or India in repect to any measure affecting the currency of India It inigat desire to adopt. In view of this announcement at the conference, the action of the Indian government to-day was not altogether a surprise to the treasury othcials. though what its ellect may be on the future action of tho United Mutes caunot be accurately gauged. Information obtained from the Treasury Department shows that the world's product of silver during the last fiscal year was 152.C00.COO ounces, of which the United States purchased 51,000.000 ounces outside of the silver used in the arts, which Is estimated at about T.OoO.OOQ ounce. The consumption by India was 45.0' 0.0W ounces, which wascoined. TLia makes the United btutrt and India combined use 1C6.0O0.C00 ouccesof silver, purchased las; year, leayin K 4tt.0O0.0X) ounces of silver fcrusein the arts in the other couutries of the world. The highest price ever attaint:! by silver in the United States was at the time of tho passage of the Bland silver bill, Feb. 23, lbTii. when the price was SL'JS per ounce. The silver dollar was then worth 13 cents. At no period since then lias the silver dollar been worth so much. When the Sherman act went into effect, August, lb'JO, there was a spurt in the price of silver and it went up to 1.25 per ounce. In the time between the passage of the' Bland law in lbTS ana the passage of the Sherman law in 15510 silver went to V2 cents per ounce, which was a maximum prioo during that period. Since August, lb'JO. the price has gradually declined, with lluctuations, until to-day it has reaohed the lowest point on record. At to-day's price of 79o per tine ounoe the silver dollar is worth COc as bullion. Since 185 India has coined silver free. During the last calendar year the Indian government coined 46.000,000 ounces. Since the passage of the Bland and Sherman acts the United States have coined 420.000.000 dollars of silver. Of the amount of silver purchased under the Sherman act, 127.000,000 ounces remain nncomed in the vaults of the treasury. Treasury officials opposed to the free coinage of silver, while admitting that this radical aotion by India will temporarily result to her disadvantage, believe that with a rich soil and 250,000,000 people fairly pro duotive, after the reaotion is over India will recover from the shock. It is pointed ont that her exports of merchandise end cereals largely exceed her imports, and now that the valne of the rupee, trie current money of tho country, is definitely fixed at one shilling and four pence (32 cents in our money), the loss which she has sailered heretofore in the fluctuations in value of the rupee, will be done away with, and by many it is believed that the large hoardings of gold known to exist in India will soon begin to be brought from their biding places and be converted into coin. Daring the last fifty years the net imports of gold into India aggregated aboat SSOO.000,000. In a report made to the Fiftieth Congress by Mr. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, Mass., upon the present status of bimetallism in Europe, touching upon the import of gold into British India, he says: Of the import of gold a very small amount has been coined into domestic coin. The total coin age for the tlfty years since 1835 amounts to no . more than 2,3o-,3irJ rupees; the rest of the gold about 1,276.000,000 rupees ha been used for ornament or has been boarded in the form of British and Australian sovereign by the richer natives and in the treasuries of Indian prince. The gold that once has Cowed to India la lost, almost without exception, to trade. The natives are careful watchers of the bullion market, and have not failed to note that in recent times the value of silver at the bazars has become leas as compared with gold. Ornaments and hoards of liver are leas highly prized than in former years. In India, as elsewhere, gold is taking tho place of 6 liver. These views, of coarse, represent only the anti-silver side of the qaestion. .The suddenness of the springing of this action has hardly yet given the silver advocates time to be heard. Senator Stewart is at the present time almost the only prominent silver man in Washington. There is no question that this matter will come np for extended disoassion in the Cabinet meeting to-morrow. All the members except Secretary Gresham are in the city. The market price of silver to-day reached tho lowest point in the' history of the product. On Saturday the London price, which guides tbo Director of tho Mint in his purchases for the troverament, was 37V pence, or about bl.S cents in this country. The price this morning in London was So pence, or about 7.8 cents in New York, a drop of three points. The cause of this depression was assigned by Mr. Preston, aotmg Director of the Mint, as due to the fact that India, one of the largest eilver-consuruinit countries, has closed her mints to free coinage of tho white metal. The free-coiuage men will open headquarters in a few days for the purpose of the dissemination of free-silver literature and tho assignment of speakers to advocate the cause in the Western and Southern States. They intend to make a hot fight for the white metal. VlVY of Nw Turk Silver Dealers. Nkw Yoiik, June 6. The cessation of the free coinage of silver by the government of India was a fruitful source of conversation among financiers to-day. Business was resumed this morning with a general feeling of depression growing oat of a combination of unfavorable circumstances. Fresh failures from various parts of the country and stringent money wexe a good foundation for the announcement of the stoppage of the Indian silver mints. A prominent banker, who is also one of tne heaviest silver-bullion dealers on Wall street, said to a reporter when the announcement came: "It is a crushing blow to silver. The elFect will be paralyzing upon the wrolo silver market and 1 think the settlement of . the silver question in this country is now at hand. The basis of tbo currency of India is silver. The mints have been open lor free coinage and such immense quantities of silver have been presented by private parties and the circulation of silver became so great that the pric of the ludau rupee has been declining steadily for a moutii. This has brought about the Buspensiop of free coinage. It has been done by theothcical class of the country. .Their pay is iu the Indian rupee and they were beginning to sutler seriously from its depreciation in value." Still another large bullion shipper had this to say: I do not see bow the action of tho Indian government, in closing the mints, will much diminish the demand for nilver in India. India is a creditor country, and I do not eeo how her balance of trade is to be settled save in the' old way by imports of silver. If the mints are closed to private persons, then the government will have to import silver for coinage purposeR inplaoeof private parties. The only domsible way iu which India's demand for silver would be lessened would be by the cessation of the expansion of her exports ic consequence of the low prices of silver. Last year the excessively low price of silver nisde the total imports by India. China and the Straits very much larger than the average of previous years, and. so far this year, the imports by these three countries are ahead of last year. The government will be compelled to do as tho Indian banks do, namely, buy silver in the market at London." At the sabtreasury the payment of the interest on the United States four-por-cenr. bonds, due July 1, began to-dny. Over Sl.CCO.00J was pud oat before the close of banking hours. The prepayment of the interest will, it is said, have a very benelicial ellect, as the money paid out this week would all be returned into circulation and be available again by July 1. "But," as one b ink president pat it, "although the boil has burst, the sore place will not be thoroughly healed until after tho Sherman silver law has been repealed, and the sooner President Cleveland calls Congress together for that purpose tho better." During the day the highest rate quoted lor money was 10 per cent. At 2 o'clock it tr as ollered at 8 per cent. The high rat, lowever. caused many holdings of stocks, lo it was said, to be thrown overboard, brokers not caring to oirry them tor their customer. Telegraphic transfers i'f $120, CC0 to San Francisco were mide through the subtrcasury to-day. After the close of business application was received for a transfer of S.OU). In addition J..?A0U0 in currency was sent by registered letter and express to the l'acitio coast. Clearing house certificates to the amount of 8100,000 were issued to-day. Want th Sherman Act Jtepealed. Chicago, June 26. The following telegram, signed by thirty-eight of the leading business honses of Chicago, was sent to President Cleveland: Believing that the Sherman silver bill Is one of the most Important factors coutributlug to tho preteiit depreiacd condition of the national ttsftooes. it is our earnest request that tho mat

ter be discussed at the Cabinet meeting next convening. In our opinion tho Immediate repeal of this law would do more to restore conildence than any one thing, and, believing It to be a question of national importance, we beseech your favorable consideration. It is stated this ovening that prominent merchants iu Grand Rapids. Detroit, ht. Louis and St. Paul have been requested to tako similar action at once.

v reeling In Colorado, , Denveii. CoL, Jane 20. The nnnrecedented decline in the price of silver to-day has created some apprehensions in Colorado. Mr. David IL.Moifatt. the largest mino owner in tbo State, said this evening: "The situation is exceedingly grave. I have wired for all my managers to come to Denver at once. Seventy-seven-cent liver mined by men paid Zi a day means a loss to the owner who has not a fabulously rich mine'. My idea is to propose to tho men in my employ that instead of paying 83 a day they should be satistied with twothirds that sum until silver shall return to a fairly reasonable price. If they do not accept such a proposition I shall be compelled to shut down all my properties." The loss that will be involved by the closing down of the hundreds of mines in this State, which are directly allied with coal mints and smelters, and the loss to railroads and other industries for one year will run into the hundreds of millions of money. Senator Wolcott said: "If an extra session of Congress should be oalled to-day the Sherman law would not be repealed. If we sutler the disaster entailed to Great Britain is worse, and a continued fall in the price of silver must force some international agreement. Meanwhile. it is to be remembered that silver is in no wise responsible for the present unfortunate condition of all airs. There are two causes leading to the present trouble. First, English colonial Josses, which have compelled holders to realize ou American se unties; second, that wo bay more than wo sell. HANK SUSPENSIONS. 3Iallclous Rumors Cause the Oueen City, of I u Ta I o, to Close It Dor. Buffalo, N. Y., June G The Queen City Bank, which opened its doors for business May 2, 18J2, with a capital stock of SC00.OCO, closed them at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and posted the following notice: On account of a heavy withdrawal thin morning upon our casa resources, caused by f.dse statements retarding the condition of the bank, we deem It necessary to suspend business for the present until we can realize upon our own resources, which are abundantly ample to secure all concerned. The suspension was not entirely a surprise, for it was foreshadowed by rumors on Saturday. This faot, however, helped to hasten the suspension, for when the bank opened, this morning, there was a steady run ' by depositors, who by noon had depleted the cash resources, and nothing was left but to close the doors. Mr. J. N. Adam, the second vice president, made the following statement: "1 he entire capital of the bank. $ XX). COO. stands between the depositors and any loss. There is nearly $100.00) in undivided profits, which will be more than ample to cover any loss. Depositors will not lose a penny. The suspension was all caused by false. I might ay malicious, statements that have been made. At 1:15 o'clock this afternoon we expected to get through the day, and at that hour several large depositors withdrew their money, and we were hopelessly crippled for the time being. We had over Sbo.OOO on aeposit in the savings banks, but we could not get it," Following is a statement of the bank's condition as it appeared on the opening this morning: Assets Loans and discounts, $ 1, 672.232. -11; bonds and premiums., $1,100; cash on hand, 8 1; ca-h with banks. $.722.U3; furniture and fixtures. $20,000; total. $2,0f8,8 U.5o.

From the statement issued it is shown that in the three weeks from June 1 to the present date the withdrawal of deposits aggregated, over &50.000, too great a drain in the- present stringency of tho money market for almost any bank to stand. The Clearing House Association met this afternoon and decided to stand by all its members and render whatever assistance may be necessary in tbo event of their becoming embarrassed. . ISMiik Failure nt Minneapolis. Minxkapolis, J une 20. The Bank of New England suspended payment this morning, temporarily at least. Since the failure of the State Bank, Thursday, there has been a steady withdrawal of deposits. A. J. Blethen, the president of the bank, says it has considerable money tied up by the Chicago failures. Every depositor, he adds, will be paid in full, as tho stockholders will suller instoad of the depositors if the bauk does not resume. The capital stock of the bank is 106,000; surplus, $12.0'K); undivided profits, 4.000. The Chemical National, of Chicago, which recently tailed, was the bank's Chicago correspondent. The bank had cash available of 64,000 on May 4. the timo of the last report, but its liabilities wete $200,000. and assets somewhat in excess of that amount. Small Hunk Eutrriied. TorrKA, Kan..

Their tsets are over a million dollars, of whioh S250.00O is debts due them and considered good. Their total liabilities are less tnau 8 00, 000. It is estimated that liquidation by a forced sale would leave them 45,000. Their assignment is due to the fact that they were unable to borrow from the banks to-day the sum of 7,000.

CUT TO PIECES IN THE WATER. Concluded from First Page.) dragged down the strongest of the swimmers. The great fatality was due to the fact that when the vessel went down the propellers were still revolving rapidly. As the ship sunk many of the sailors were observed crawling np the sides of the hull to the keel. All agree that Admiral Try on showed remarkable heroism. After lie had ordered all to save themselves the coxswain ran up to him with a life-belt. Try on refused to take it and told the man to seek his own safety. He stood on the bridge motionless and with folded arms awaiting sure death. Without exception the officers and crew behaved nobly. The explosions after tho Victoria turned over are supposed to have been the bursting of her boilers. Besides those mentioned in the Admiralty dispatches, the list of drowned includes Lieutenant Monroe. Sublieutenant Gillett, engineers Harding, Foreman, Deadman and H itherly, gunner Howell, boatswain Barnard and oarpenter Bell. The officers of the Barham say that the war ship Nile narrowly missed striking the Viotoria on the port side just after she had been rammed by the Camperdown. Tho Admiralty think that the collision was due to the momentary failure of the Victoria's steering gear. So far nothing has been published here to censure anybody in connection with the disaster. The Lord Mayor's fund for the relief of needy families who lost members by the disaster amounts now to 0.000. A number of questions were asked by members of the xiouse of Commons to-day regarding the foundering of the Victoria. Keplymg to thesequesiion8, Kt. Hon. ftir U. Gray Shattleworth, Secretary to the Admiralty. said there was reason to hope for telegrams received from the British consul-sreneral at Tripoli that the number of persons drowned by the sinking of the ship would be under the estimates tirst made. Some of the men oelonging to the Victoria had been detached temporarily from that vessel and detailed for duty on other vessels of thetleet during the maneuvers. These men ban. of course, escaped. So far as now ascertained the lost numbered (X). comprising twenty-two officers and o3S men. Thesaved number 278, including twenty-six olhcers and 201 men. Mr. F. W. Isaacson asked if tho government intended to keep the Sanpareil, the sister ship of the Viotoria, In commission or to have her ordered home from the Mediterranean in order to have experts consider her construction, and ascertain what, if anything, was faulty with it. The Secretary to the Admiralty strongly deprecated the asking of such questions, saying that the time had not come when they ought to be asked. This statement was greeted with cries of "Hear, hear." Wards In Chancery. London. June 26. In the Police Court. Tuesday, two tiny girls, Gertrude and Ethel Hedger, were arraigned as vagrants dirty, neglected, half starved. Their story reads like a page from Dickens. They are wards in chancery, heiresses to $100,000 each, bat there is no prooess of law through which any of that money can come to them before they grow up. So these two helpless children are growing to womanhood, uneducated and amid vile and filthy surroundings. When they come of age the money will be theirs, but the means of enjoying or a knowledge of how to spend it is not for them. A "Jck-the. Hipper" Murder. London, Jane 26. The foal crimes of "Jack the Kipper" were again called to mind last night by a murder that was committed in Kotherhithe.a suburb a short distance to the southeast of London. The body of a woman belong to the unfortunate class was found with the throat cut, as was the case in all the murders' commited by the "Kipper" in the Whitecuappel distriot of London.

When tho young Blaokstonean rose, finally, nis band full of notes, the twilight was growing dim lu the little court room. Tho frugal abend had placed one feeble tallow dip on the table that stood between hi in andthe jury. Theyoang lawyer screwed his eyes and set the candle at a dozen angles, but his notes were illegible in the faint and flickering light. In despair be tossnd his careful notes to the floor and struck out on the perilous sea of memory. He found, to his utter amazement, that he could swim like a tish, and he felt keen joy in his power to think and talk on his feet. He had. to be sure, gained some fum us a student at Miami University, but he had never dreamed that his abilities as an oil hand speaker would carry him through a case of law. Ever since then Boujamin Harrison has looked upon that frugal eherilt and that tallow dip as the good angels that combined to force him upon his memory at the very threshold of bis legal career. From that day, however carefully a case was prepared, however intricate the law and the evidence, he has thrown himself boldly on bis memory and his power of ready speech. Before jndge or jury, or on the stump, his command of language is ready and felicitous. This of itself is the chief charm in a lecturer or public speaker. With no icy barricade of notes or manuscripts between himself and his audience, speaker and listeners are drawn together in a harmony of personal communication varying with theindividnalmaguetisni of him who talks. "I haven't met five lawyers in the country," once said the late Vice President Hendricks to the writer, "with Ben Harrison's oapaoity to got at the naked, legal truth of an issue." Governor Hendricks, a great lawyer himself and professionally broad and fair, merely expressed the judgment passed on Mr. Harrison by the Indiana bar. For the last forty years he has stood in tho front rank with men like McDonald. Butler, Fishback, Baker. Hurd. Hendricks, Newcomb, Pettit. Niblack and Voorhees. All have recognized Harrison as a foeman worthy of the best steel they had. The chief charm of the ex-Presideut'a manner in court to listening layman or reporter is his persistent search for the heart of the controversy. No time is lost in platitudes. There must be some rational dispute, wiiich brings two clashing interests before an intelligent court, and this Mr. Harrison puts before judge and jury in language that makes it clean-cut as a cameo.

Europe Still Suffers, Hamburg Water Filthy, and the United States iu Great Danger. Engineering Magazine. The most recent advices are that oholera is still raging iu Russia, and that it exists in a slight degree in Hamburg and in' some parts ot France, The probabilities are, unless travel and immigration from Kussia are immediately and strenuously interdicted, and unless the water supply of Hamburg is made absolutely Dure, that oholera will reappear in an epiaemio form in Germany and France this spring and summer, lint these two contingencies are within human control. Travelers and immigrants may be prevented from entering Germany and purity of the water of Ham burg may be secured. While cholera has not been epidemio in any European port during the past winter. sporadic or isolated canes have oooitrred constantly iu some of them. There are some persons I will not say authorities who assert that true Asiatic cholera exists id Paris during the entire year. Certainly it was there last summer. Assuming these statements to be facts, we have good reason to fear that this disease will reappear in New York harbor during the summer of lsu:3 Hut it is quite possible for the city of New York and the other ports of this country to be so protected, aud for those coming here with the disease to be so isolated as to pre vent au epidemio in tho United States. As to the prevention of cholera, much has been said for and against strenuous maritime quarantine. Thn more ignorant the nation the more intense aud annoying the quarantine, whether maritime or on the laud frontier. During the epidemic of 13-5 in Italy and the south of France the Italians outdid themselves in ridiouluus and inellicient and obnoxious rules, to prevent . perlectly well people trom going from one country to the other. England, perhapp, lays Jess stress upon maritime quarantine than any other nation, but England is not a depot for immigration, and tilthy immigrants lrom all parts of the world do not come to her shores as they do to those of tho United States. Those who visit England come ouly as actual travelers or immigrauta in transitu. If the Russian immigrants who. having passed a few days in Hamburg, without any cleansing and other sanitary means, were put upon ships which they infected, had been allowed free access to New York. city last summer and autumn, they certainly would in a few days have so polluted water sources that cholera would have become, epidemic. We must, theroiore, havo qnimntine regulations in this country. lint, if a ship comes to New York harbor. ven during the visitation of cholera, from a noninfected port, and has passed seven duys without the occurrence of any case, it would be folly to retain the passengers on. the ship. They should be allowed to land as soon as the lacts about their condition are ascertained. If cholera has actually broken out upon a ship the healthy passengers should certainly not be retained upon it, when the port is reached. They should be put on shore in comtortabio quartern, and after a very 8hortquaranttne.it the disease does not break out among them, they should be released. If quarantine must be practiced, it must be a civilized and humane quarantine, instead of imitating the Turks nd Italians. If the quarantine regulations are honestly maintained, with skill and scientitio knowledge, there need be no extension of the disease from our harbor. Perhaps it will not even be brought ther. The etlect noon the W orld's Columbian Exposition by the appearance of the cholera in New York would, in tho nature of things, be extremely

Europeans, having read much of tho scenes in our harbor last year, would bo afraid of their repetition, even if they did not fear the disease itself. The precautions taken by the general uovernraent are, however, so careful nnd faithful in the placing of inedieM otlicers of our own at every port of departure, that it is hardly to be feared that any such numbers of infected shins can possibly arrive in New York as came from Hamburg last year. COKPOItAL TANNER, I He Tells Ills Story About Ills Wounded Comrades at Hull's Kuu. Washington Cost. It was at the second battle of Hull Run that a piece of shell cost Corporal Tanner his two legs. "There were six of us." said the Corporal to a Tost reporter who sat in his otlice at the Washington Loan and Trust Holloing the other day, "in oue little tent. Tho - six had lost seveu legs. Our garments had been cut from our bodies becauso of their iilthiness, and all the covering each man had was a thin rubber blanket. We lay moaning for water. On the ground outside lay one poor fellow wounded in the side. Ho could not rise, but woen ha spied a little tree laden with apnles near huh he orawled, regardless of the terriblo pain, to the tree, and, keeping his bleeding side uppermost, dragged himself back and pnssed some apples to me lor the six of us. Tbeu he died. I am going over to see Secretary Minitb to get reinstated one of that six. "He is a man of excellent habits, i found him supporting hU family by working in a shoo shop at $1 a day. 1 guvs bini pi acts as messenger in the Pension Otlice, and ho has been dismissed. 1 will tell hecrtary mith how he came to be appor.ed and ask a reconsideration, the more confidently as there is DtMitocrutic evidence that wbea in otlice I saved every Democratic old soldier I possibly could.
