ESTABLISHED JU TALK WITH THE SILVER KING Benator H, M. Teller of Colorado Visits Omaha and is Intarviewod, CRITICISES CLEVELAND AND SHERMAN Discusses the Canse of the Financial De- prossion—Condemns Governor Waite's Bad Break—Anticipates Reliel from Congres Omaha was honored yesterday with a brief visit from Hon, Henry M. Teller, sen- for United States senator from Colorado. He is also ox-sccretary of the interior and a gentleman of international renown as an ad- vocate of the free coinage of silver. Heo passed through the city yesterday on his way home from a brief visit to the World's fair. He also visited his mother at Morri- son, 11l. Tho silver champlon was caught at the union depot 1in the afternoon by a Bree representative, whose 0b- ject was to get the senior senator from Colorado to talk on the present agita- tion of silver. The senator does not readily come out of his shell, but once started he is one of the best men in the country to interview. The man who rounded him up at the depot yes- terday, after once getting him started, had nothing to do but listen to Senator Teller's remarks. The senator is authority on silver and needs no questioning. Whete to Get Rid of Silver. “T've just come from a very profitable visit to the World's fair,” said the senator, “‘and am on my way home. I had a few days to sparc .from business, and 1 improved them to the best advantage by taking in tho exposition. It's certainly a great show—a great show. Why, o man might spend threo months there and then not see half of it. Roasts Colorado's Burchard. “AS to the silver question everybs heard plenty concerning it, of late. Coloradoans in general do not endorse the rabid frothings of Governor Waite, Mr. Holden and one or two others, ought to go withoui saying. Ididnot attend the silver convention, and itis as well, no doubt, that Idid not. While Governor Waite's red flag remarks have not been productive of any damage, I1do not doubt that before long they will be onrecord in eastern money markets, and we shall reap the resultant whirlwind, While there have been only two or three large failures in Denver thus far, and while weare yet in better financial condition than the calamity shouters are willing to admit, it is by no means certain that Colorado is not going to be struck hard by the provailing financ distress within a short time.” Some hours previous to Senator Teller's remarks, three Denver banks had closed their doors, but he did aot know it. “The condition ofattairs in Colorado,” con- tinued the senator, “is bad enough, yet it might be worse. We might be without other resources than silver mining, but we are far from that. No state in the union has more varied resources than Colorado, and if other industries were half as well de- veloped as silver mining, we would have no fear for the future, and as it stands, we are Bot yet in what could reasonably be termed a desperate plight, old Production, “One thing tht helps us out is our gold production. For instance, there 15 my own county of Gilpin, the star mining camp of Colorado. Since this depression began we have produced just as much gold as ever, de- spite the fact that many of our largest and best producing mines have been shut down. Of course the silver question is a very serious one with us just now, and a continu- ance of present wcial conditions mear two or three years of hardship for Colorado; but Colorado will pull out all right in the long run, Tdoubt not.”” “What action will congress tako, tor?” was asked, ouches Up the Prestdent. >resumably, the Sherman law will be re- pealed, although Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Sherman will both, no doubt, come forth and reiterate their hackneyed statement that they are ‘bimetallists) and protest against any such action as is contemplated There is o strong distinction between a ‘bimetallist’ and the The former believes in a gold standard and silver for subsidiary coinage, Can youcall hima ‘bimetallist’ as is the believer in an equal standard? “Now, there Is au error under which o great many persons in this couniry are la- boring, and that is the belief that the Sher- man law is responsible for all our present troubles. It is all bosh to attribute financial pressure Lo that source, Sherman Law Not Responsible. “The Sherman act is no more to blame for tho present state of affairs than [ am. Why, is it responsible for the recent financial disasters in Australia? Australia has dropped far harder than this country has, and so have several European stato: notably Austry)-Hungary., Besides these, how about India and the South Amer- 1can states? Can the Sherman act be hold to account for their present dificultics? That's nonsense, It is the fact that condi- tions haye been bad and growing wor that ono of those periodical crisis that ean- ot be avoided is upon us—hence the present doplovable state of affaivs in this and other countries, It is something that cannot be prevented at this age of the world. Time was, forty years ago, befora the days of gen: oral use of telegraph and steamships and railroads, that such cri ad not much chauce to arise. Peaple had time to cool down before thoy got excited. As it is now, the world is really one vast single com: munity, with common interests, aud no sooner is one country affectéd than the news, flashing over the wives, precipitates a sorious condition of affairs, if 1ot an absolute panic, in anothe Canse of Finaneial Depressio “The main canse of local depressions is the disiuclination of baukers to le% go of mouey, It appears as though nowadavs money could not be secured on auything. It is o fact that United States bonds were hawked in Wall street last week and for the first time in years they were sold at a dis- count from standard y s. It was a case of force; thew holders had to have money, and the way matters stand today, & man who ofters any less solid collateral' security than government bonds stands a poor show of negotiating a loan, Bankers Shatteied Confidence.

With the balance of trade in our favor, as it will soon be, the gold sup- ply in this country will increase. But mean- time had the administration taken the action 1 suggested to the secretary of paying all ob- ligations in gold, it would 'have gone far to- wards easing the financial markets and re- storing our credit abroad, and the natural influx of the yellow metal would have kept the supply up to the $100.000,000 mark with- out the necessity of issuing bonds. As it stauds now, the supply is close on to $98,- 000,000, Hope for Rellet, The senator talked hopefully ns to the probable action of congress after repealing the Shermah law, and said ho believed that in spite of the opposition of the administra- tion, something world be done to ameliorate tho condition of the siiver intecests, con- cluding with n few optimistic statements as to the future of the great state he repre- sents. I heartily endorse the position taker by Mr. Thurston in Tur Bee,” were the parting words of the senator. I think he covered the situation exactly, in that article.” SENSIBLE COLORADOANS, A Fow of Them In New York Clty., . New Yok, July 17.—President Hagzerman of the Mollie Gibson mme is in this city. He says: “Tho report that the Moliie Gibson mine as been tlooded is true only to the ex- tent of between the cighth and tenth levels. Itisanew portionof the mine which has never been developed. The pump on the eighth level is more than able to keen the mine free of water above the eighth level. The fgilure of the Denver banks has been anticipated for the past two weeks and the other banks have been getting themselves into shape to meet any emergency. Gener- auly speaking. although the conditions in Colorado are very bad, and men are being thrown out of emplo ment and railronds aro losing their ruings, the state is as well abio to tako re of itself us any other part of tho coun- try. If wo have got to g0 through a period of silver distre wecan stand the racket as well as any one. Tho intemperate talk of Governor Waite in the recent Denver con- vention is not approved by responsivle people in Colorado.” “The action and utterances of Governor Waite the silver mass meeting, Governor Cooper of Colorado tod ill-advised and have Interviews with ay, were a tendency to damage the silver cause. No person except ex- tremists endorse these views. While we believe in bimetallism and Dbelieve in it honestly, we do mnot proposo to repudiate our debts. If the Snerman law should be repealed and silver should drop seriously, 1 thinlk many of the mines would close. But we do not depend on silver min- ing solely. Among ot r other great resources are coal and coke, where large quantities are produced every year. Of course, the rencal of the silver law would. fora timeat least, depress business and throw thousanas of men out of employment.” Henry R. Wolcott ofiColorado, brother of Senator Edward O. Wolcott, did not hesitate to say that the sentiments voiced it the re- cent convention by three or four hot heads did not reflect the feeling of the people. These arc some of Mr. Wol- coit's expressions on tho supject: “It is natural that we should desire to receive the highest price wecan com- mand for our silver, but we cannot expect and, of course, it cannot be, that silver sholld bo mamtained at a higher stardard of value than is consistent with a sound financial system, and by this I mean one that would_command the conscience of Uio entiro people. We hopo the united wis aom of the country will adjust the matter so that we may continue to run our mines at a profit, but if every silver mine in Colorado shouli close, Tam prepared to say that there ure other' resources in our state that would occupy every etizen within her borders; yes, and a million besides.” “What about Governor Waite? “Waite was carried away by the thought of *blood up to the bridles’ besides he mer demonsirates what political chance will do for the country oceasionally,” e SICA RESERVE AGENTS, Selections Mude by the Comptroller Y ny—Medical Examining Boards.

Bourke, Staft Commander Hawkins-Smith and the surviving ofticers of the British tleship Victoria, which was sunk in collision with the British battleship Camperdown off Tripoli, Syria, on June 23, opened today upon the Hibernia, the flagship of Rear Admiral Richard I, Traco, admiral superintendent of the Matta dock yard. All the survivors were on board the Hi- bernfa. The president of the court martial is Vice Admiral Sir Michael Culme-Soymour, of tho cruiser Hawke, who succeeded Vice Admiral Sir George Tryon as commander- in-chief of the Mediterrancan squadron. One of the witnesses today, in his own de- fense, repeated the story of the accident and said that he and Staff Commander Huwkins-Smith went to Viee Admiral Tryon's cabin and told how the vice admiral, after having originally fixed the six cable lengths to distance beiween the ships, suggestion of the staff commander that it shoull beeight cablelengths, Subsequently, when the signals wore set the flags desig- nated six cable lengths and when the vice admiral's attention was called to this fact ho said they were to remain so. Collislon Inevitable, Captain Bourke adaed that he saw when began to swing toward each other tthere was not suiicient distance be- taveen thom to ullow of the evolution ordered and that he asked permission to roverse the port screw in order that the ships would malke a short turn. This was given him and subsequently bt engiues were ordered full speed astern. Tt was too_late, however, to avert tho disaster. The Victoria had turned twelve or fifteen points when the Camper- down struck her. Captain Bourke described at length the efMorts made to save the ship after the col” lision, deseriptions of which have herctofore been published. He then stated that after the conversation in the admiral’s cabin Sir oorge Tryon went out and st on the stern alic. Ilag Lieutenant Gillford came to the wituess and said that tho staff commandoe had told him that “eight cables’ was to be signaled. Captain Bourke reminded Vice Admiral Tryon that he certamly had said the distauce ought to be more thin six cable lengths. “Ihe admiral turned to Licutenant Gillford and said: “Leave it atsix.” Licutenant Gillford then left the cabin. Captain Bourke and Vice Admiral Tryon remained together. Cavtain Bourke at first declined to say what passcd between them after Licutenant Gill- ford left them. Then the witness ealled Sir George's attention to the fact of the Vie- toria’s turaing in a circle of 800 yards. The admiral replied: “Let it remain at six abics.”” Captain Bourke then went on deck. Needod Greater Spaco to Turn, Captain Bourke said he was at the top of the chart house when the first signals wore hoisted. Ho explained that the turning diamoter at ordinury speed of both the Vie- toria and Camperdown was about 600 yard: Directly after the signal was hauled down and the hielm put over, the ship hay- ing swung about two points, he told the admiral that they would como very close to the Camperdown. Turning to his aide, Middy Lanyon, Captain Bourke ordered him to tuke the Camperdown's distance. The admirai, in the meantime, had made no reply to the captain's remark. Addressing Lanyon again, he said: “We had better do some- thing, We shall come very close to the Camperdown.” All_this time they were turning and the captain again addressed the admiral ro- peating quickly two or three tmes, “May [ go astern full steam, with the port serewd " At last the admiral said yes. The order was given and shortly afterwards tne captain ordered both screws full speed astern. They had then turned eight points. The time between the hauling down of the sig- nal and tho collission wus three and a half four minutes. The captain cxplained in detail the vesult of the collision After deseribing the splendid behavior of tho men and the wonderful sclfc-ontrol displayed by them when they fell in on deek, Captain Bourke sud, I believe the commander gave no orders, Just at the last Licutepant Heath ve the order to jump. When She struck Bottom, He thought the Vietoria must have strack bottom in going down head first. The shock of striking the bottom was 0 tremendous as to cause hor boilers to go to pieces. Then there came & great swirl of water, carrying up spars and other wreckage which struck the men in the water. Nobody knew what struck them. Somo of the men must ha been caught by the ship when sho over. Tt is reported that last January Admiral Tryon issucd un order to the effect that when tho literal obedionce of n signal would cause a disaster, tho officers in command of the vessels involved should act upon their own responsibility to avoid the danger, turned WILL NOT TOLERATE Franco Does Not Like ¥ ence fu the Sham Sompor, Siam, July 17.—Troubles betwoen the French and Siamese on the Meklong river continue.

Tho collision ocenrred at the Forty-ninth streot crossing, which is a network of tracks and has always been regarded as a dangoer- ous crossing, A long freight train going west had just passed and the tower man, George Barnett, had raised the gates, This was taken as a signal that the way was clear and Driver Stahlnecker started to drivo across the tracks. A passenger train was rapidly coming from tho west, however, and just as the car roached tho track 1t struck it in the center. The car was turned entirely around and hurled fully thirty feet from the point where it was stru Somo of tho passengers saved themselves by jumping, but the majority was caught. Perkins and Dillon were fright- fully manglod. A piece of timber had been forced into the latter's throat, breaking his jaws.

Sergeant Ormsby was highly commended, by Chief Seavey and Captain Cormack, as being one of the best ofticers on the force.

The Elkhorn aad Sioux City roads operate in Nebraska about 1,300 miles of road. and have oy Tup a t territory for the jobbers by thoe develope mentof the country along tho companies’ lines, While Omaha has profited greatly by 1t yet other towns have been enabled to enter the territory and securc a fair percentago of the trade that should have come here, The tarifl sheets of the Blkhorn and Sioux City have permitted Sioux City, Atehison, St. Joa and Leavenworth to enter on their lineg without any distinction as to distance, with the result that has been detrimental to tha Jobbing interests of this city. It simply placed those towns on the same basis as Omaha as regarded rates, being cloarly a discrimination in their favor, Will Forco Other Roads to Follow, The first of next month is to change, as a new tarif sheet into effect n those lines at that time, The new sheet contemplates a differential that will cut off a goodly share of the patronage that those towns have been receiving and Omaha jobe Uers will reap tice benefits, In view of tha fact that the mile thoso roads ropresents 23 or per cont of the mileago in the state, and step is an important one, It may result opening the eyes of the other ronds to tha fact that they can fall in line with those roads and attest their loyalty to the peopla of tho stitte as Nebraska lines, addition itory that will become almost ex« clusively occupicd by the Omaha jobbers ig braska, there will be quite a slicy traversed by the Sioux City . lowa that will also become tributary., Omanha Jobbers Elnted. Tho tariff sheet that will go into efect the Ist will be ready for publication today. A comparison with the old sheev will clearly show that the inavguration of the new tariff will be a victory for this city, and can be followed with very good resuits in case the other lines join the procession. Tha Owmaha jobbers are much eluted, while thosa of the other towns are equally as much puy out. 1t is understood that the Commercial clul has taken a deep intercst in bringing abouy this result.
