Acting Director of the Mint Preston Tells How the Price of Silver 1s Determin New York, July 21.—The Post's Wash- ington correspondent says: So much eriti- cism has been passed upon the policy of the treasury in determining the price which it would pay for the silver bullion, and the question has been raised in so many quarters, whether the London or the New York mar- ket should be used as a basis, that it was suggested today to Mr. Preston, acting di- rector of the mint, the wisdom of explain- ing. cloarly to the public the theory upon which the treasury is proceeding in this mattor. Must Consider London Quotations, “I claim,” said Mr. Preston, “that in certaining what is the ‘market price’ of sil- ver, in accordance with the law, the price of silver in the London market must necessar- ily be taken into account. It is the price of suver there that regulates the. price of silver the world over. The London rate has regulated it all through this century and regulates it now. The London rate controlled the commercial value of silver, even when the mints of the Latin union were open to the unrestricted coinage of silver at the ratio of 15}, to 1 *“The French ratio of 1 to 15!5 was a fixed point about whicn the price of silver moved., The London price fixed the relative value of silver and gold in the commercial world, but the commercial value could never vary very videly from the coinage value as long as the mints of the Latin union stood ready -to transfor.a gold and silver into coin at the ratioof 1 to 1 2 Had the French coinage ratio any effect after the closing of the mints of the Latin union to the unrestricted coinage of silver?” “*No. From that time it ceased to have any effect on the price of silver and that price' is now determined by the operatious of the law of supply and demand in the London market. There s, indeed, but one market price of silver today. The precious metals always tend to have the same value the world over. London s still the world's mar- ket for silver, and the vrice in London is the market price for the metal, allowing, of course, for transportation, brokerage, insur- ance, et Ask a banker in Paris, Mel- bourne, Calcutta or Hong Kong the pi silver, and before answering you he will con- sult the latest London quotations, All Go to the World's Market. “The countries having silver to sell look to London. Nations that want silver look to Loudon for 1t. There the world's demand and supply of the metal meet. Thero the price is fixed. Now England obtains most of the silver with which it supplies the mar- kets of the world from the United States, Mexica and South America. The London market being so largely supplicd by the United States we should naturally expect to find silver cheaper in the United States than in London. and when we do not so find it we cannot nelp inquiring into the cause of 50 SLrange & phenomienon. “1tis becanse the treasury Is bound to follow the law. Thave no doubt that the prosent administration would be glad to pay #1.20 a0 ounce for silyer if it believed that was the bona flde solid market price for the metal, The matier 18 a very simple one. ‘The treasury is anxious to buy silver, like everything else 1t is called upon to buy, as cheaply as possible. “1f those charged with making purchases of silver for the treasury did uot endeavor 0 ascertain whet the brices offered agroed with the market price, and if in that endeayor thoy did not compare the offered prices with the price in Londou, the world's silver warket, they would be derelict in their duty. Manipulating the English Market. “The American holders of silver bullion are well aware of the importance of the Lon- don silver quotations. 1 find this passage in the London Economist of July 8: ‘It would appear uow as if the American producers who nre interested in keeping up the London price of silyer, as thut practically governs the price at which the United States treas.- ury must buy its quota of 4,500,000 ounces per o are manipulaiing this market which, t holds no large stock of mietal, 1s compuratively easily influenced “Now, if the London warket is not to be considered in this matter, as some of the critics of tho treasury claim, why should any one on our side of the water feel inter- extod i { Hlis Wife, Miwacker, July 21-H.

The question as to whether he wiil follow out the policy which has been set, of only accopting silver offers at such a price as the department considers to be a just and Tafr wmarket value, will probably receive his early attention. The comptroller of the currency feels much casier today over the bank conditions. He received a telegram this morning from the bank examiner at Denver, saying that con- siderable confidence has been restored there by the reassuring messages sont to that city by Mr. Eckels yesterday, and the examiner expressed his belief that the worst wis over and that most of the banks could resume in time. Three banks have been given permission by the comptroller to reopen their doors for business, and in each case the first day's deposits greatly ex- ceeded the withdrawals.

MiLwAvkee, July 21.—The Commercial bank has failed and assigned to A. B. Geil- fuss, cashier, who has filed a_bond of #1,650,- 000, The troubles of the bank are said to re- sult from the acceptance of a large amount of paper of Corrigan, Ives & Co. The following notice was posted on the door: “Owing to heavy withdrawals by de- positors and inability to make immediate collections this bauk is compelled to tempor- arily suspend _payment.” The bank has a capital of $250.000. The July statement wave liabilities of 31,656,850, of which 8557,- 743 were due depositors on domand and 528,915 on time, The direct cause of the suspension was the failure of the Douglass Furnace company of Sharpsville, Pa., of whose certificates ot stored pig iron :the Commercial had about $130,000. 1t is elaimed the sheriff attachod the iron, ignoring the cortificates. The deuls with the furnace company were through the Schlessiuger syndicate.

The populist gathering at Knights of Labor hall last night was called to order at 8:30 o'clock by Judge Fowler. Georgo A. Magney was elected chalrman, while W. A. J. Goodin officiated as secretary. The chairman called upon D. Clem Deaver to explain the object of the assemblage. In a fifteen-minute speech Deaver said the moeoting had been called to talk over the political situation, from a popu- list standpoint, of course. Ho con- tended that the ‘‘calamity howlers” of last fall were wise prophets. He wanted many independents tocomo together m order to get ready for tho silver league meeting on July 25, of which ho desived to make a success. The monoy, not the tarifl, was the all-absorbing question, as he had always contended. People would have to meot with o littlo adversity beforo they could be educated up to the beople's party standpoint on money:. Allen Root had learned more in the last six months than ever. No tariff talk in any shape for him. Moncy, money, and plenty of it was all he wanted.

The accursed financial svstem of the country made men tail in business and was responsible for every ealamity. “It is an out- rage,” continued Mr. Root. Here he stopped long’ enough to pull a sot of resolutions, wherein the goldbugs and John Sherman were sat upon in a vehement manner with n final resolve that the government go out of commodity purchasing business at once and unconditionally repeal tho Sherman This last brought Joseph Edgerton, Joe,” to nis feet. No unconditional peal for him until he knew what he was going to get in place of it. It free coinage. which ultimately would lead to paper money, would supplant the act of 1800, he w. he would most emphatics bjoct. V. O. Strickler moved an amendment of this character. Deaver had objections to the preamble. J. M. Kenney moved to refer the whole to a committee of five for correction, but before this was carried another party desired to supplant the words treasury notes by legal tender. The committee appointed consisted of Allen Root, Joseph Edgerton, V. O. Strick- ler, D. C. Deaver and Judge J. M. Fowler, aftor co able wrangling over whom the appointive power should bo vestod in. A proposed people’s party open-air meet- ing at Hanscom park on July 20 nextre- ved attention. All went well on this sub- ject until iv came to the speakers. General Weaver was suggested. Some one suggested Governor Waite of Colorado, who was styled the anarchist of Colorado by (ieorge Washington Brewster, ve Rowden nted Tom Patterson of Colorado and this precipitated the storm of the evening. Mr. Patterson was distasteful to many, being, as he was called, a people’s party man for revenue only. on, however, had staunch de- fenders there, and after a couple of sec-saw- ing motions all three men wore accepted as suitable while Mrs. Lease. whose name was suggested by some one, was left down in the torrid zone.

Feoderal and city detectives have been working on the case and were so hdt on the trail that the “shovers of quoer’ left the city yosterday in hot haste, There were two of them and 1% has been protty well established that they aro mem- bers of a gang who have been operating in towns in Illinois and Towa, They are sup- posed to have headquarters in one of the lakeside cities in the east, presumably Cleve- land, O, Theso follows wore *‘protty smooth" and must have got rid of #1,000 or $1,500 worth of these spurious coins in this city. At a glance these coins appear all right, but on lifting them they are found to be too light and the face of them is poorly oxe- cuted, as if they had been made in rough plaster moulds, They are plated and lack the clear ring of the true coins. The people who have been distributing this money usually went into a business house, made somo smail purchase, and paid for it with the &, getting silver and paper currency in change. In this manner they were able to pass a good many of the coins which otherwise would have been detected if they had been presented to be changed without any purchase of goods, The men who have been working Omaha are described as being well dressed and of good appearance. One is a meddie-nged man with drooping gray moustache, He is dressed in a light brown suit. The other is mooth-faced young man who walks with ight limp and is an oily talker. The secret service ofticers have been after the gang for some time now, and, although they have disappeared for the present. the oficers are confident of capturing them soon. A similar gang operated in Chicago until they wera run to cover, and it is thought th hava scattered out over the country and are oving” this money in soveral cities at the same time.

Tho residence of Dr. Dorwald at 1216 North Ninoteenth stroet was burglarized y torday aftornoon of a gold watch, chain and some rings valued at $50. The family was absent from the house for a fow hours and some sneak thief pried open a window. e ransacked the rooms and receptacles and was evidently looking for money and val- uables casy to be disposed of. A gang of loafers are working that end of town and “fake” peddlers are quite numer- ous. They visit from house to house and in case no one is at home they try to cffect an entrance throngh some unfastened window or by means of skeleton keys. by » Schome of w Swindle A smooth swindler who goes by the name of Smith or Jones or anything that comes into his head 1s quietly accumulating a little stock of dry goods by playing an old time confidence racket on some of the down town business men. This particular Smith no- ticed in Tur Bee that aninfant child of Mrs. Hansen, Sixteenth and Pierce stroets, had died, 80 he londed on his cargo of grief and filled up his tank of tears and went forth. Hoe went into the knitting establish- ment of William Bilz, Fifteenth and Howard streots and while weeping copiously told tho proprictor that he was a relative of the Hansens and had just paid the undertaker all the money he had, but to save coming down town a he wanted a few articles of black clothing. Mr. Bilz kandly let the stranger run a bill of #10 or #12, and thought nothing more about matter -intil today, when he began to gob anxious, and called at Maul's to learn somo- thing about Smith, Of course, Mr. Maul knew nothing about the man, and as this was the third or fourth complaint received the seller of knit goods was informed that he had most likely been taken in by an old game. Wolosinsky Expl S. Wolosiusky called at Tne Bee office to denounce the untruthfulness of the report that he had treated his mother, Chirny Wolosinslky, in a cruel and inhuman manner. He says that she is 58, instead of 70 yvears of age.

Boston Green was brought up on the same old charge sud the judge didn't stutter when he said 30 and costs, committed till paid.” ‘This was rather a surprise to Boston, and he filed a protest at once. He insisted that the officers who arrested him were drunk, and that he was as sober as a judge. ‘Talk of this kind didn’t go, and poor old Boston, who has been arrested more times than he has lived woeks, was taken down to his cage.
