Trenholm’s Reason for the De- cline in Value. THE INDIAN SITUATION. New Yorx, June 29.—Col. William L. Tren- holm, presidentof the American Surety Com- pany, who, in @ recent visit to India, made s special study of the currency of that country, has thts to-say on the silver question: “News about the closing of the mints of India is to the effect that the mints will no longer coin rupees for private account. That means, if I am not mistaken, that the Indian government is going to do somewhat like our government—refuse the free coinage of silver, but use the mints for the coinage of govern- ment silver. ‘There is, however, this difference between our action and that which is supposed about to be taken in India, and that is that the action of this gov- ernment was under the direction of the law which prescribed periodic purchases, while if the Indian government buys silver and has it coined it may buy where it likes, when it likes and will probably be able to buy very cheaply. ment was influenced to take this step by several considerations. “L Asa revenue measare. “2 Asa measure favorable to the improve- ment of the market in India for Engliah mano- fact ~§ Ase means of checking the overproduc- tion of silver, which has been going on now for number of ‘years, and is really the cause of all the trouble.’ SILVER'S GLOOMY PROSPECT. Mines Being Closed in the West on Account of the Falling Price. Sroxane Wasu., June 29.—There is consider- able excitement in Cour d'Alene county over the silver question. There are three things which are disturbing the great mining district— Price of silver, lead and labor. Several of the largest mines have shut down within the last few days and others threaten to. A few days ago miners in the Gem and "Frisco mines threatened to strike for an increase of 50 cents per day and the troubles of a year ago are feared. At the same time silver and now the mines are closed. Workmen in the Last Chance have now agreed on a graded scale of wages, taking part pay in per cent of Profits, and the mine was opened % ‘Mine owners talk freely and say that with miners working at $3.50 and car men and shovelers at $3 a day,with silver at 70 cents and Jead at 4, all the mines in the aa country can be worked profitably con- tinue to run. But there must be an equivalent for this. Lead or silver must raise or wages must go down. There is a great deal of anxiety, and mining men hold daily ences. Unless there is an advance in silver or lead ins short time every mine in the Cour d’Aiene country is likely to close. This will stop the daily output of about 17,000 ounces of silver and 350 tons of lead. ‘Mine owners generally want the Sherman law repealed at once, and » majority favor free coinage as an experiment Kassas Crrvy Mo., June 29—Angust R Meyer, president of the Consolideted Kanses City Smelting and Refining Company. the big- gest concern of the kind in world, yesterday that the fall in the price of silver ‘ould ‘hare no effect upon the company's busi- ness, as it had anticipated the fall of silver over a year ago and had reduced its silver work and i a and lead instead. exvER, Cot., June 29.—The Mollie Gibson mine at ‘the largest silver producer in Smelters have ceased buy! fine themselves to that on for. Omana, Nex, June 29.—There is a strong probability that the big Grant smelting and re- ining works in this city will be closed on ac- count of the decline in silver. E. W. Ni treasurer of the company, said y‘ e have quit buying and shail buy no more silver until matters take a different turn, If we can- not afford to work silver we shall have to shut op sho am Sr. cis, Mo., June 29.—The St. Louis Smelting and Refining Company, one of the largest in tho country, has decided to shut down work, owing to the silver troubles.

The Indien government is discussing the claim of the various banks which have £1,500,000 in silver now on passage to In- dia, and which want compensation for the de- preciation in the value of the metal arising from the action of the government in stopping the free coinage of silver. It is said that the government is inclined to secure the banks against loss. Austenrax, June 29.—The market here for silver has been, with the other markets of the world,greatly affected by the action of the gov- ernment of Iadia in deal with the currency question in that country. In the open market the price of fine silver has dropped from 63 guilders to 60 guilders per kilo. POSITION OF THE SILVER MEN. Mr. Bland Wants the Sherman Act and Free Coinage Substituted. Sr. Lovis, Mo., June 29.—In a letter to a morning paper Congressman Richard P. Bland defines his position in regard to the silver | 1 question. He says: ~The Sherman bill met with my determined opposition when it was before Congress. It did not receive a single democratic vote in either house of Congress. I do not now de- fend it per se. I sought to repea! the Sherman law at the first session of the last Congress by a bill substituting a free coinage law. I pro- pose to continue the fighting on that line. The repeal of the Sherman law 1 not to my mind the issue now presented. The issue made by the gold party is, Shall we totally demonetize silver by the re- peal of the only law we have looking to the fu- ture use of silver as money in this country? In other words, shall we return to the demone- tizing policy of the Sherman act of 1873? Shall we ratify and condone this legislation? The law of 1873 every democratic orator in_ this state has denounced as the monumental fraud of the nineteenth century. This is the iseue repared for us by the gold-standard party. Fiey boast that the Sherman law was enacted to prevent free coinage. I am opposed to as- sisting in the accomplishment of this purpose by repealing it and stopping at that point, “The democratic platform did not stop there. It demanded not only the repeal of the Sherman law, but something more, to wit: The | orders, pei rious demand Vall street that free coinage 0/ silver. The im} now comes from the party of we keep our pledges as to repealing the Sher- | j man law, but break faith with the people on the free coinage promises. We are invited to give all it asks, but to leave Missouri on the ‘anxious seat.’ We are coolly asked to repeal the Sher- man law and put our people off with a vague resolve that at some future convenient time we will attend to bimetallism. “This is the trap I do not intend to be caught in. The bill that repeals the Sherman law must also embrace the principles of the other part of our platform—that is, the restoration of silver as the co-equal of gold in our monetary sys- tem. This must be done by legislative enact- ment, not mere empty resolve.” Export Daty on Mexican Dollars. St. Lovrs, Mo., June 29.—A special to the Republic from the City of Mexico says the government contemplates placing an export duty on Mexican dollars in order to aid the silver market.

It will be recalled that in the last appropriation bill there was a clause providing for a daily collection of garbage from the month of May, June, July, August and September, and $1,000 ‘was appropriated for the work. After a care- ful consideration of the subject the Commis- sioners became satisfied of their in- ability to secure a daily collection throughout the entire city for that amount cf money, but were satisfied that if the first controller would allow it that the daily dollection could be made in the following named areas: On the north by the south line of P street northwest; on the east by the west line of 6th street northwest and on the south by the north line of D street northwest; on the west by the east line of 17th street from Pennsylvania avenue to K street, thence to 18th street, thence by east line of 18th street to P street northwest. Tt was desided to sak the first comptroller if the money ¢ould be expended for a daily col- jection in this area. In his letter to the Com- tlssloners today he says, after refeirrng_spe- act: PAUL.

Major Moore has instructed the police of the eighth precinct to strictly enforce the law in re- lation to the speed of the cars on the Bright- wood electric railway.

Loading Their Horses and Equipments on the Cars Was Quite an Event at the B. and 0. Depot and Looked Like War Time—The Canine Pets. a There was an appearance of war times about the Baltimore and Ohio railroad station this morning. Cars were being loaded with horses, and men in uniform were bustling about get- ting things in shape for a railroad journey. ‘There was the jangling of spurs and sabers, and dusky-hued troopers were saying farewell to the girls they were leaving behind them. ‘The occasion for ali this military manenver- ing was the departure of “K” troop of the ninth cavalry for a week's encampment at Gettysburg, in connection with the exercises there next week. The troop, under command of Capt. M. B Hughes and Lieut, A. W. Perry, came over from Fort Myer this morning ‘and marched down Pennsylvania avenue,attract- ing considerable attention by their soldierly appearance. Behind the troop came two big white wagons loaded down with commissary supplies. Altogether there were fifty-two men in the command, and they carried with them full equipments and supplies sufficient for a week's stay. They will live in tents while they THE CASE OF MR. NORDHOFF. Interest in the ‘That Mr, Has Been Kebuked. Considerable interest is taken in this city in the report telegraphed from Honolulu by way of San Francisco that Secretary Gresham has rebuked Minister Blount for his action in offer. ing protection to Mr. Nordhoff, correspondentof New York Herald, against steps taken by the Hawaiian government for legal redress tor the alleged libels against its officials and citizenscon- tamed in his letters to the Herald. It is asserted that Minister Blount counselled him to ignore the governor of the Hawaiian court, and assured him of the full protection of the United States government. The latest reports are to the effect that the Secretary of State has informed Mr. Blount that he exceeded his authority in this matter and that he had apparently acted under a mis- conception of Mr. Nordhoff's right to protec- tion, Blount THE CUTTING CASE. The Cutting case, which has been referred to in this connéction, is different from that of Mr. Nordhoff, in that his attacks on the Mexican people were written as well as published in the United States, while Mr. Nordhoff’s animadversions against the provisional government of Hawaii were written in that country and forwarded to the United States for potilontion, In both “cases the papers contaiping the were circulated in the foreign country. The Secretary of State refused to surrender Mr. Cutting to the Mexican authorities for triai, on the ground thet the offence alleged to bh been committed by him took place entirely in United States territory. ‘The Honolulu dispatch says that Mr. Nord- hoff had been turned over to the Hawaiian au- thorities, This may be so, but he was not re- strained of his liberty, for he arrived at San Francisco on the steamer from Honolulu yes- are gone, all their camp equipment having | terdai gone upahead and been put in place by this time. ‘The troops marched slong to a side track in the yard back of the station, where the train was waiting for them. There ‘were four cars for the horses, two passenger cars, a freight car and a baggage cer. When the train wasreached the order to dismount was given and tho men at once proceeded to unsaddle their horses to put their sad- les, bridles, overcoats and belongings of that sort into big gunny sacks for transporta- tion in the baggage car. While this was going on the small boys began to gather and watch the proceedings with undisguised interest, ‘They were there by the score, and the comments they passed on the troopers ‘and their methods were unique and interesting in the extreme. To the small boy a trooper and a cowboy have close race for popular favor. COWBOYS AXD TROOPERS. “It’s curious,” said Lieut Perry to Tax Star reporter, “how closely troopers and cowboys are connected in the minds of the people gen- erally. In fact, it would seem as though many reons could not keep them separate at all. Fie cowboys of the good old days are die- appearing rapidly; that is, the cowboys as Rem- ington and Zogbaum have drawn them. The railroad is driving them off. just ar it did the buffalo and is now doing with the big cattle herds. “Thave just come back from Virginia, where I went on a recruiting trip. I only had four men with me and they wore the broad-brimmed drab campaign hats. The number of ways in which trooper can twist the brim of that hat around ie something remarkable, avd the result is that no two hats ever look alike. Every time we'd go out together the country people would remark, ‘There go the cowboys.’ In point of fact there Tae similarity between the two sets of men. The cowboy is rapidly getting to be a thing of the past, and I suppose that we will then comein for all of the popularity that a small boy loves to shower on his hero. While this conversation was going on the men were busy loading their horses into the cars. Thirteen horses were put into each car, and with only one or two exceptions the animals went in over the plank ina steady and soldierly way. There was a platform on a level with the cars, so that the work was com- tively easy. One or two horses objected "Going into evils ‘that they knew not of, and it took the efforts of several brawny with their shoulders at the stern end of horves to get them to cross the plank. “This is a better way of loading than we used tohave out west,” said one of the sergeants. “There we'd get a pile of railroad ties up against a car, and it would be work, I tell you, to get the critters to scramble up.” ‘THE CANINE PETS. Beside the horses there were the dogs. K troop wouldn't think of going anywhere with- out their canine pets. There was Pluck, a brindle bull terrier that is a beauty—of his kind. Anda fighter? Weil, rather. A colored trooper who was standing beside the wagon to which, Pluck was tied was bragging to an ad- miring mie Speman about. “Why, that there dog is the mos’ fightenest dog you ever see. | There ain't no dog around these parts as can tech thatanimal. Ob, he’s a bute.” Then there was Shakespeare. Well, Shake- is a different kind of a dog altogether. je is the mascot of the troop, but this is not Decause of his fine points. He basn't any. He's what is generally called “jes a plain yaller dawg.” He ie about one part Scotch terrier and the other nine parts a cross between a cur anda mongrel. Pluck has to do all his fight- for him. it took over an hour to load the cara. The small boys stayed until the end. The troopers had with them about everything they could need. There waseven a wagon load of fire- wood that they took along with them to Gettys- burg in the baggage car. As soon as every- thing was ready, nearly noon, the word was given, and the train. which’ was run asa special, pulled out on its run to Gettys- burg, a run tbat will probably. take about six hours. The young colored ladies waited until the train was ont of sight and then they turned away regretfully as though they were thinking of the lonesome week they would have to live through before their brave boys in blue come back again. The bors whistled ‘The Girl I Left Behind Me.” The girls ‘are tuning up to sing “When Johnnie ‘omes Marching Home.” The light battery from the barracks also left for Gettysburg this morning. They went by way of the Pennsylvania and will also be in camp for about a week. spalnaanaetessteme The Fidelity Suit Dismissed.

Necessity of a Law to Panish People Who Rob Farmers. Inspector Hollinberger of the detective corps has made up bis mind to secure » law for the punishment of the bogus commission merchants who are engaged, so it is charged, in robbing farmers in all parts of the country of lange quantities of produce, and with that end in view he held a consultation with District Attorney Birney this week and requested that oficial to draw up « bili for presentation to Congress early in the session. The prose- cutor promised to do what he could in the matter. Complaints have been received in large numbers recently, and the inspector is tired of having to answer that there 1s no law here ander which these parties can be prose- cut The scheme of these men is to quote prices in advance of the regular market prices and give references. in that way large cargoes of various sorts of produce are shipped to them, and all they have to do isto pay the freight.

The street lines of Alexandria are not mathe- matically straight lines, but they have no Boston bends and no Georgetown curves. The squares are not exactly of the dimensions laid down on the surveyor's book aud they never have been. When, in 1749, Town Surveyor West, with the help of George Washington, surveyor, laid out the first sixty-six squares, he did not care for ® few inches more or less. Many of the locust its which originally marked the squares having been destroved, within fifteen years some new surveys were made, one on the 19th of April, 1766. John West. the original surveyor, with Thomas Grafford and Gerrard Bowling, the chai njcarriers, met the town trustees and again in their presence marked the ries of some of the lots on Duke street. As early as 1796 City Sur- veyor George Gilpin planted a line of trees on Montgomery street near the north edge of the town to mark that street, and about 180 City Surveyor M. C. Ewing cut in the curbs of King street data for the buildi lines of all the intersecting streets. The origi locust posts were gone before the revolution. Mr. Ewing's landmarks were also removed by the military engineers that regraded and ro- paved King street during the late war, but Mr. Gilpin’s line of stones remained and has recently been unearthed by City Surveyor Graves. This line, made in i796, with the expectation that it would be reached by buildings before 1809, was not in fact reached by buildings until 1889; for Washington city was established close by and the houses that would have been built on Wythe and Montgomery streets were built on Maryland avenue and South Capitol street of the new city. It turns out, however. that if the line of King street, substantially that of 1749, is right then the ‘data stones of 1796 on lontgomery street are not correct, and all over the city there is a diversity in lines. The whole subject will come before the court and an adjudication be made. COLORED PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
