Kurtz Johnson, one of the world’s fair commissioners from the District, said this afternoon that the dispatch from Chicago to the New York Sun regarding the possible disrup- tion of the fair is sensational and based on little fact. Stillhe admitted that the officers of the commission are and have been taliing of re- | signing on account of the curtailing of salaries | by Congress.

If the United States puts itself in the position of a purchaser of the silver of the world, and mining were stopped, this country could fix any price on silver it pleascd. But mining woul increase when the United States took this step. The resalt would be that, tomy ly, silver would command a higher price in London than now; but when the mines began to put forth their contributions of silver and it flowed to the natural world’s reservoir of tilver, as well as everything else—England—the price would recede and fall to about what ft ts no In Mr. Fraley’s judgment, confidence was the entest thing to be sought.

The Ladies’ Mary Washington Monu- ment Association of The Cleveland anti-silver letter has caused a sensation in Washington. There is hardly any- thing else talked of at the Capitol today. The silver men have been that if the free coinage bill was not already dead this letter will kill it, by bracing up all the anti-free-coinage democrats and relieving the republicans of the fear of making party question of it. 4 COURAGEOUS act. Representative Darlington of Pennsylvania (republican) said to a Stan reporter today: “It is a good thing. Mr. Cleveland bas shown that he has the courage of his convictions. A dema- Bogue might have beon afraid to write the let- ter, but there is no reason for a strong man to be afraid to do what he knows to be right. It has raised Cleveland in my crtimation. 1 Tt is not going to injure his presidential chances. fale! New En jon! New 3 id roughout New in New Jersey an New York. With these states bebind bim be need not be anxious about the south and west. ‘The south and west are for bim on the tariff question and they may overlook the difference 9f opinion on silver. Jt does not make any differences anyhow if he has New York and these other states with him.” FEARS IT WAS 4 DANGEROUS THING, Mr. Quinn (dem.) of New York said: “It is courageous, but I fear it was a dangerous thing for Mr. Cleveland to write that letter.” “dt is no surprise,” said Mr. Heard (dem.) “We have known where he stood ou this quos tion since he wrote his famous letter before he had gone into the White House. He mercly declares that he stands there still. I think his fears are unfounded and his predictions will fail now as they failed before.” HIB POSITION NOT A BURPRIBE. Mr. Peel of Arkansas (democrat): “The let- ter shows that Mr. Cleveland has lots of courage and that be has no disposition to deceive any sition he takes is not a surprise, it merely clears away the doubts of those who thought he might have changed his views after & more carefal study of the question. He holds the same view! ‘The letter will strengthen him in New York and throughout the cast. It will probably do him some damage in the south and west, but his bold stsnd on the tariff has endeared him ae the hearts of the western and southern people. They would rather vote for him than for any other living man. They will respect his frankness and courage in maintain- ing his personal convictions, even if they do not agree with him, and they will probably be for bim anyhow.” MAY NURI HNN IN THE SOUTH AXD WEST. Mr. Mutchler spoke deliberately and courte- ously about the matter. “I think it may hurt him in the south and west,” he said, “but be leaves no doubt in any one's mind as to where he stands, and that is a good thing. His §j | expressions will mect with approval in Penn- ayly rania, New York and throughout the cast. It may not injure his political prospects. The silver may not be an issue in the campaign of 2. It may be out of the way. “With tariff as the issue, as it should be and undoubtedly will be, bis opinions on silver ought not to hart him in the south and west.” NO MAN CAN FOREFELL 178 EFFECT. Mr. Wilson of West Virginia said: “The letter is characteristic of the man and shows the courage regardless of its effect on his own po- litical fortunes that #0 impresses the American people with Mr. Cleveland's personality. Its effect? Well, of course, it will temporarily alienate many supporters, as expressions around me indicate, but no mau can foretell its effect on the presidential nomination in "92." HE HAS MADE A MISTAKE. Mr. Bland says: “Every one must see that Mr. Cleveland has made a mistake. This is the first time that we have heard from this patri- otic reform club. We have been under the shadow of a threatened despotism controlling the elections of the country during all this Con- | gress. This club was dumb. It waa not the east that rescued the country from centralization and despotism. It was an alliance of the west and south which fought the battle of free- dom. y got no encouragement from the Reform Cfub of New York. Only when the money bags of Wall strect were threatened of freedom from the thralldom of Wall street. Free elections and free coinage go hand in hand, and no man can be elected on a demo- ington, | cratic platform who is not in sympathy with that movement. The farmers of the west, north- west and south are solidly banded together on these propositions of freedom of states, the constitutional money of our fathers— free silver and free ropose to press the fighting in that line. wen the state of Kaneas denounces the elections Dill a8.a sectional measure, while the money bags of Wall strect were silent on that qnes- tion. Mr. Cleveland’s letter makes his candi- dacy for the presidency ridiculous. He will have no following west of the Alleghany moun- tains.” Mr. Cannop of Illinois says that the letter of Mr. Cleveland is fail of good, sound sense. “I agree with it thoroughly. Hurt him? Well, I don't know. Nine out of ten men in the coun- try want more money; but they want good money.” AN ADMIRABLE LETTER. Mr. Dingley of Maine said that he thought it an admirable letter. “It represents the views of all sound business men throughout the country. It comes 2» little Inte, but better late than never. Idon’t know as’ to its cffect on Mr. Cleveland's political future. I believe e democrats wi ave a free-coinage nk in their next national plattorsa, If'eo Me Clave, cannot ran on it. Should he be crowded out by that, however, it would make trouble for the democratic party. I think that it is go- ing to. give them trouble anyhow.” All Mr. Bynum could say on the sub} that there was a long time yet before dential election. it was presi- ‘The full effect of the let- ter, he thought, could not be foreseen at this ‘WILL SURELY HURT HIM.

He did not ask for what be was ar- rested nor uny questions whatever either on the way tothe station nor at the hearing. He then described the tools found. A SECTIONAL snmmx. Judge Hagner, pointing to onc of the tools, asked what it was called and the answer was a “sectional jimmy,” said Mr. Lipscomb. “it was a sortof force bill.” Robert A. Perkins, clerk at Francs’, testified to the rooms in the building at 7th and D streets. He remembored showing the prisoner aroomon x Friday morning pt ing the robbery. He showed the front room on the third tleor, but he did not rent the room. He next saw him near the Record building in Philadelphia and identitied bi ‘On cross-examinatic December i he told Katf of some one looking for the room, and the detective showed him some photographs and he picked out that of the defendant. John J. Cammack testified that he was ployed on the third floor of the Franc building at the time of the robbery; that on the preced- ing Friday Mr. Perkins came through huis room to show two others vacant room. Next reo- ognized the prisoner as oue of the men after he had been brought here from Philadelphia.

They each had valises. He identified both of the prisoners at the jail. Mr. Hoff was recailed and produced stamp- ings from the same die used to stamp the ring identified. Henry Frane testified that the door to the upper part of his building was often left un- locked. ‘The trial was resumed this morning and the government called Solomon Lewis, and kicbard H. Goddard testified to going to Hotfa’s store todo some work and being present when the burglars’ toois were found. DETECTIVE LINDEN'S STORY. Capt. Robert J. Linden, superintendent of Pinkerton's detective agency in Philadelphia, testified that he had known defendant as Yank McLaughlin and Andrew Mullen personally for year. He also knew Simms and pointed him out. He heard of the Hoffa robbery on October 13and he at once went to work to find out where McLaughlin and Simms had been. The first was arrested December 3 by Detectives Kaff and Tate (of Philadelphia) and he bad conversation with him. McLaughlin said he had been looking fot it since Kory had been pulled. “That the old man thought he was pretty d—d smart, but had made a fool of him- seit this time.” | Witness seid he wanted the roperty and Yark answered: “I have nothing Poway.” Witness identified the rings exhibited | yesterday and said that he got them from De- ' re oa Miller on apne 13 and m in his possession ti them over to Inspector Swindells.

DETECTIVE TATE ARRESTED SIMs. James Tate, detective, of Philadelphia, identi- fied Simms and McLaughlin and testified that he beard of the robbery of Hoffa on October 12. In November he received warrants for the ties and found that Simms had left the city and he returned on November 13, when he arrested him in going into a house, 910 Fitzwater street, aud he was turned over to Capt.
