The call was issued by Capt. Gibson to devise ways and means toward raising a guarantee fund for the entertainment of the supreme lodge and usiform rank of the Knights ef Pythias of the biennial encampment next year. To insure the encampment in this city Capt. Gibson stated that it would require @ guarantee fund of $10,000 and that prompt ‘action should be taken if Washington wanted it, for Louisville was a hot competitor, and if it were found that this city eould not entertxin the Knights, Louisville would get the prize. Capt Gibson received letters from Messrs. John H. Magruder, A. T. Britton, Thos. W. Smith. B. H. Warner and W. H. Selden promising material aid; the last named pledged himself for 8250. Mr. Richard Goodhart, the chairman of the local Pythian executive’ committee, was present and said he would shortly issue a call for auother meeting.

INDIA’S RECENT ACT. Free Coinage. VIEWS ADVANCED BY THE VICEROY. What is Said by New York Bankers. SITUATION IN WALL STREET. | Sra, June 27.—In_ explaining to the India council the bill providing for the stoppage of the free coinage of silver and other monetary measures, the adoption of which was announced yesterday, the Marquis of Lansdowne, viceroy of India, said he hoped the government would not be criticised for disposing of the im- portant question at a single sitting. Thekey- note 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 the closing of the mints and the violent disturbing of change rates. ‘The rate of exchange had been fixed high enongh to relieve the government of its most pressing necessities, while it was well within the limits of the recent fluctuations. There should be no mistake, the viceroy said, about the facts. It was not proposed to substitute gold for the silver currency. Noattempt would be made at present to fix a legal tender price for gold. While the ratio of value was men- tioned it was only provisional. In conclusion, the viceroy expressed the gov- ernment’s sense of the gravity of the step it was about to take. Personally he was averse to all attempts to give money commodities a fictitious value, but the time had arrived when to remain inactive was impossible. ‘Ihe government ould be unworthy of the name if it left things alone. It ha@ not taken the momentous step with light hearts. He hoped its action would be fruitful in good results and that a sufficient reserve of gold would be accumulated to make an effective gold standard possble. Cancorta, June 27.—General _satisfac- tion is expected here at the action regarding the currency taken by the India council yester- day. Government securities rose rapidly. Lospox, June 27.—Rupee paper is very strong at 71, owing to the action taken yester- day by the government of India on the silver question. WHAT IS SAID IN NEW YORK. New Yorx, June 27.—Mr. Henry W. Cannon, president of the Chase National Bank, and also one of the delegates to the monetary conference at Brussels, says regarding the Indian silver sen- sation: “The importance of the action of the govern- ment of India in stopping the coinage of silver cannot be overestimated at this time. It was the only country, with the exception of Mexico, in the world the mints of which were open to the coinage of silver without limitation. “Therefore. at the present time, the only countries in the world whieh are continuing to produce silver legal tender money are the Vnited States and Mexico, and it must be clear, even to a casual observer, that it is impossible for the United States to safely continue the coinage of silver or the issuance of money against bullion purchases. ‘urope silver is dishonored and gold t becoming the only money of full debt- paying power. ‘The course of the United States is clear. We must immediately stop the further archase of silver and the issuance of silver legal tender money. If this course is purwued there is very little doubt tbat the other nations will be brought to a realizing sense of the con- dition of monetary affairs, and the piace of silver as a money metal throughout the world will be settled within a reasonable time. Our government is pledged to maintain allot our money on a gold basis, and some action should be taken at once to remove the prevailing feel- ing of distrust and discomfort, JOSEPH C. HENDRIX. Mr. Joseph C. Hendrix, president of the National Union Bank, said: “The supersatura- tion of our currency with silver in the face of the preference of civilized nations for gold is fast becoming sn historical absurdity, and when a silver-using country isforced by the sternness of natural laws to weaken its faith and to diminish its devotion to the inferior metal, the lesson is so timely that noone can doubt the effect on sober-minded citizens. This coun- try must follow the money fashions of the world, not try to make new ones.” EDWARD 0. LEECH. Mr. Edward O. Leech, who was director of the United States mint when the Brussels con- ference was held, attended the meetings of that body in an advisory capacity. In an interview Mr. Leech said: “silver, as is well known, is the only legal tender money in British India and the only money in circulation in the vast empire. It is estimated that there is in circulation about $1,000,000,000 in India. It forms the entire circulation medium of the country, for while there is some rupee paper in circulation in Bombay, Madras and a few large cities, there are no banks, no substitutes for money like checks, c., throughout the country, and everything in the shape of money consists of silver rapees and fractions of u rupee. Gold 1s not legal tender in India,’ although the gold mohur and divisions are coined. The ratio in Indian coinage between gold and silver is 15 to 2, so that an ounce of silver in such coinage is valued at about $1.36. “India has always been the silver sink of the world, the natural receptacle of all silver _sur- plus for which there is no actual demand. India absorbs in coinage more silver than any other country in the world, abot 40,000,000 anally. This fact will give some idea of the tremendous effect the closing of the India mint to silver coinage, if true, will have upon the price of the white metal. It is a warning tothe United go further in the absorption of a depreciated metal in this country without seriously embarrassing our financial system,” W. P. ST. JOHN. William P. St.John, president of the Mercan- tile Bank, said. “As to the effect of our silver, if this report be correct. my impression is that we would suffer materially, but not to the great degree that Europe would suffer. Europe's sufferings would begin forthwith, as In- dia is the creditor. yearly and evers trade in the commercial world to continental Europe is England's debtor annually for @ gross sum which ranges between $70,000,000 and exceed- ing $10,000,000. Europe's settlements have been made in British consul billsand shipments of silver bullion for the remainder. _ These sil- ver shipments have ranged between $35,000,000 and $100,000.00 a year. If gold is henceforth to take the place of silver in these settlements, as must follow the absolute closing of the Indian mints, the commercial world may-well | prepare at once for such a currency question as has never yet engaged attention.” EFFECT ON THE SILVER MARKET. ‘A member of a large firm of bullion dealers in New York said with regard to the closing of the India mints against private bullion: “I don'tsee how theaction of the Indian government in closing the mints will much diminish the de- mand tor silver in India. India is a creditor | country, and I do not see how her balance of trade is to be settled save in the old way, by imports of silver. Ifthe mints are closed to private persons, then the goverument will have to import silver for coinage purposes in place of | private parties. The only possible way in which India’s demand for silver would be less- ened would be by the cessation of the expan- | sion of her exports in consequence of the low | prices of silver. & |" “Last year the excessively low price of silver | made the total exports by India, China and the | straits very much larger than the average of | previous years, and so far this year the imports | of these countries are abead of Inst year. The government will be compelled to do as the Indian banks do, ie., buy silver in the market in London. “It is not stated this morning whether the gold value of the rupee is fixed at 10 pence, Dut from the rise of rupee paper in Loudon it would seem that this is the case. The effects of this is that so faras Indian trade is con- cerned the fall in silver is stopped. “Those who will gain by any further fall in silver will be the Indian government, who will make the difference between the bullion value of silver and the coined value, as our govern- Reasons for the Stopping of Silver] it'en int.

It will make the condition of foreign ex- change a little more stable as between the traders of England and the big merchants and exchanges of Bombay and Calcutta. That is to yy, it will arrest the fall in the intrinsic value of coin silver in India and give a stability be- tween the silver, and corresponding bullion. “The result of the system if persisted in ‘would be to impose on India full prices, such as prevailing over the entire gold-using world. Further, the value of silver in the rupee be- ing so much greater than the value of the same tempta- r coun- tries. It could be copied exactly and made of the same weight and fineness. It would be as good a coin im every respect as the one minted silver there would be an overwhelmi: tion to mtroduce the rupee from ot! ‘uo India. “Another difficulty arises in connection with the habit of the Indian people of turning their savings into ornaments of silver for themselves, A native Indian does not speak of these as worth so many rupees, there being no difference in his mind between the silver in the form of an ornament and in the form of s coin. Bracelets are often used for money. It is said these trinkets in India amount 10,000,000 in value. Now, suppose these mints closed to silver, this vast property is at once depreciated, and it is hardly possible that carried into effect with- “As for America, I believe this action will be fortunate.

It will then drop still more and Great Britain will be forced to take concerted action with wives and children. to ¢ such a scheme can be out riot and bloodshed. other nations.” SENATOR WOLCOTT. New Yorx, June 27.—A special from Denver, Col, says: “In an interview on the financial situation Senator Wolcott said: “If an extra should be called today ‘The streak session of the Sherman law would not be repealed. times are dark enough to indicate that of light must break in from some direction to western interests, but it may be « blessing in disguise if we can hold on.

When we returned Barber helped to put the body on my shoulder and I threw him into tho well.” The scaffold upon which William Pinkney and Daniel Barber will be executed on Fri is complete, and stands behind the jail. Yesterduy afternoon Sheriff Middleton, Dey uty Sheriff Dove and George Randall, the builder, gave a trial of the workings of the structure. During the trials the two men in their cells on the second floor were attentive listeners, and at times called down to the sheriff aud shis assivtants to ask what was going on. Yesterday Barber called to his cell State's At- torney Brandt and they were in close comm nication for some time.

(Continued from First Page.) dispatches this morning wonld indicate that the position taken by India must the cnuso of those who favor the repeal of the Sherman law. Last year the total produc- tion of silver was 152,000,000 ounces, Of ‘this the United States purchased 54,000,- 000 ounces;'7,000,000 were utilized in the arts, and India purchased 46,000,000 ounces, thas leaving a remainder of 45,000,000 ounces for the use of the other countries of the world. LONDON PRICE OF SILVER. If India no longer requires her portion of the production of the white metal the loss for the demand of 46,000,000 ounces must natarally 1% result in throwing this much silver on the market, and as a consequence the of that metal in London, from which point India has heretofore drawn its supply, must further decrease. In its purchases the government of the United States is guided to a certain degree by the price of silver in Lon- don, and if it falls off there the market rice must alyo decrease in this country. in London today silver was quoted at 35 mee. which makes the silver dollar of the nited States worth only 58% cents. The fear of the officials of the ury Department is that when the public become generall acquainted with the fact that the sil- ver dollar is really only worth about haif that price, a distrust will be created and that silver coin will go begging, while the demand for gold will increase. If this should occur it is said that gold would go to a premium and those who controlled it would begin to hoard it. Awa consequence of such a feeling it is be- lieved that the cause of free silver has suffered a severe blow, and that the repeal of the Sher- man law is more certain. SECRETARY CARLISLE'S CONFERENCE. An effort was made bya Stax reporter this morning to obtain an expression of opinion from Secretary Carlisle, but he was unwilling to make any statement whatsoever. and declined absolutely to be interviewed. It was learned from a _ semi-official source, that the conference which was stated to have sccurred between ‘Mr. Carlisle and the President yesterday was not occasioned by the news received from India. A previous engage- ment bad been made between them for a conference regarding some appointments. The Secretary of the Treasury went to the White House to consult with Mr. Cleveland on this matter, but found him just about to depart for his country home at Woodley. It was there- fore decided that Mr. Carlisle should go out there during the evening. Though ‘the silver question may have been incidentally discnssed, the main object of Mr. Carlisle's visit to the President was for the discussion of appointments to be made under the Treasury Department. ‘There is little doubt, however, that this question was one of the principal topics which received attention at the cabinet meeting this morning. STANDARD VALUE*OF FOREIGN COINS. In this connection the report made once every quarter by the director of the mint and accepted by the Secretary of the Treasury as the standard value of foreign coins is interest- ing. This quarterly statement was issued by the acting director of the mint today, and since ‘the last statement the changes in the values of foreign coins were noted to be as follows: Value. Value, April], 1893 July 1. ISR, Boliviano of Bolivia... $0.61 $0.60.4 Peso of Central Amer. states... - 61 60.4 Tael, Shangbai,of China .90.1 189.2 Tael, Haikwan.of China, 1.004 , .99.4 Peso of Colombia...... -61 260.4 261 260.4 +29 2287 65.8 165.1 Dollar of Mexico... 266.2 -65.6 Sol of Pera.. 2 61 260.4 Ruble of Russia. 48.8 43.3 Mabbub of Tripoli 255 2545 NO NECESSITY FOR THE MONETARY CONFERENCE. ‘The circumstances are regarded as too serious to permit of any authentic ex- pression of opinion as to the future policy of the United States until all the facts are fally digested. much, however, can be stated with absolute confidence, that India’s action is regarded by the United States as doing way with the necessity for reconvening the international monetary conference. INDIA'S ABSORPTION OF GOLD AND SILVET. Apropos of the present situation is the fol- lowing clipping trom ~The Spectator:” “Between 1859 and 1889, thirty years, or | made homeless by the recent accident. It less than half one's lifetime, _ India has absorbed £117,000,000 in roid and £227,000,000_ in wilver, or — £344,000. im all What has "become of — the silver we do not exactly know, though it ia certain that a great proj of it is hoarded as fixed and visible wealth, but about the desti- nation of the gold there is no doubt whatever. The people have got the whole of it in their hands, for it is not in circalation, and are using it, either in ornaments, kept, be it observed, to pawn in extremity or as hoarded treasure in coin, such as lies under almost every peasant's floor in the Punjab and eastern “India is a treasure house of gold, yet a man may lite ‘Atty yeare in the Brith never #6 an ounce. The whole of this wealth, says Lord Roberts, with perfect justice, and especially the gold, which representa obviously and necessarily part of the profit on the foreign trade, is due to security, and the security is due ‘to the presence of that army of 80,000 white men, which ie 60 often represented as. burden on the Indian peasant. “It isa burden and a heavy one, but then it isn burden the endurance of which produces all by which that same peasant gains.” FLUCTUATION IN THE PRICE OF SILVER. The highest price ever attained by silver in the United States was at the time of the passage of the Bland silver bili in 1878, when it was $1.22 per ounce. When the Sherman act went into effect, August, 1800, it went up to @1.21 per, ounce. In the time between the passage of the Bland law in 1878 and the passage of the Sherman law in 1890 silver went to 92 cents per ounce. Sinco August, 1890, the price has gradually deciined. INDIA’S HOARD MAY COME OUT. By many it is believed that the large hoard- ings of gold, known to exist in India, will soon be brought from their hiding places and — be. converted into coin. Dur- ing the Inst fifty years the net imports of gold into India aggregated about $800,- 000,000. In a report to the Fiftieth Con- gress Mr. Edward Atkinson of Boston, touch- ing on the import of gold into British India, al ‘Of the import of gold a very small amount has been coined into domestic gold coin. The total coinage for fifty years amounts to no more than 2,352,999 rupees. The rest, about 1,276,000,000 rupees. has ben used for ornaments or bus been hoarded. The gold that once has flowed to India is lost, almost without exce tion, to trade. The natives are careful watch- ers of the bullion market. Ornaments and boards of silver are loss highly prized than in former years. In India, as elsewhere, gold is, taking the place of silver.” GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS EXAMINED. Report of the Military Board Appointed to Inspect Them. ‘The military board appointed to examine the buildings used by the War Department made its final report to Secretary Lamont today. It dealt mainly with the Army Medical Museum. The board reported that that building is well apapted to uses and is perfectly safe in every respect. No action has yet been taken on the recommenda- tions of the board in its former report that the Speiden building be strengthened, that the clerks in the Winder annex be tran: ferred to the city post office building and that provision be made for the printing office attached to the record and pension which was expected that these matters will be settled in a few days. Personal Maj. Theodore Schwan; assistant adjutant | general and wife, are at the Richmond. Capt. Lardner of London is at the Riggs. Gen. Thomas Eckert, Rep. E. J. Durphy and Chas.

ES Items From the Headquarters of District Government--Several Appointments Made— The Humane Society Takes Up the Dog Question—Other Items of Interest.” —— ‘The trustees of the Concordia Lutheran Church, situated at the corner of 20th and G streets,have sent a vigorous protest to the Com- missioners against the location of the hospital for contagious diseases on the old Naval Obsery~ story grounds, The petition sets forth that the church is the oldest where German citizens worship. It is frequented by the very best element of German- American citizens. The minister of the Ger- man empire worships there, as well as the Dan- ish and Swiss ministers. If the Commissioners, in their wisdom, the petition continues. owing to the protest made by citizens, have not been enabled to locate this hospitel’ in other parts of the city, there is surely as much and more reason for’ not placing it on thesiteo w pied by the old Naval Observatory. The Petition calls attention to the reveral ‘reserva- tions near the church, designed as breathing places which would be destroved if the hospital were located on the site referred to. As hero- tofore stated in Tur Stan the Commissioners have long since abandoned the idea of locating the hospital in the old naval observatory grounds. WHO OWNS THIS LETTER? Last year while the pupils of the Arthur School were reading the beautiful poem,“Snow Bound.” by Whittier, it was suggested that a letter be written to the famous poet commenting upon the beanties of | the poem. One of the pupils was selected to write tho letter, and she signed it. A ehort time afterward an autograph letter from Mr. Whittier wasreceived. It was framed and hung under Mr, Whittier's portrait. Re- cently, according to a letter from the principal of the Arthur School to the Commissioners. the young lady who signed the letter appeared at the school with a gentleman and somewhat per- emptorily demanded the note. Miss Steele, the principal, says that she thinks that the note is District property and she has no right to give it up without a written order from some one in au- thority. She urges the Commissioners not to allow the Whittier note to be removed from the school, as she sees no reason why it should be done any more than to give away the books and pictures which belong to the District. If,on the other hand, she says, it is decided that the let- ter belonge to the pupils who prepared the first note, why not we them draw lots for it. She says, in conclusion, that the gen- tleman who called with the young Indy main- tained an attitude and used word: that are far from what she exrected to receive from a gen- tleman, and it was with difficulty that she maintained her position to act in an honorable and ladylike manner. WELLS ABANDONED. Upon the recommendation of Capt. Derby, under whom the direct charge of public wells southwest be also filled and that the public well at the corner of 435 and D_ streets southwest be filled and abandoned; that the public well on the corner of Ist street between P and Q streets southwest be filled and abandoned. These wells have been abandoned for the reason that upon examination by the District chemist the water was found unfit to drink. TWO APPOINTMENTS. Mr. J. S. Garland, the permit clerk of the water depaatment, has been appointed assistant engineer in the sewer division. Horace C. Prince bas been appointed a fore- man in the sewer division at $4 a day. WANTS THE FEE RETURNED. missioners to return to him at once $2.50, the same being the fee exacted of him by the pourd master for the return of his cow, which was impounded by the police. Mr. Rittenhouse claims in his letter to the Commissioners that 000 | the cow escaped last Saturday morning, and he ‘at once notified the police, yet notwithstand- ing his efforts and the warning he sent ont the cow was impounded and starved to death.
