MORTON TALKS ON MONEY. | But It Seems He Knows More About Wheat Than Silver. WASHINGTON, D, C., April tary Morton in #n interview to-day on the silver question said: “I.donot believe that an international | conference can establish permanently a | commercial ratio between gold and silver | any more than it can establish a perma- {nent commercial ratio between ryeand wheat. But if an international confer- | ence can fix the price in gold and silver it can also fix the price of wheat or of any | other commodity and thereby avoid all | the possible shrinkages in the values which tend to cause panics. “My own judgment is that we must | sooner or later declare that the United States of America recognizes gold as the | best and least fluctuating measure of value | and medium of exchange which the com- | merce of civilization has thus far utilized. | It is barely possible that the fallacies of the Populists may temporarily secure a | majority of the voters of the United States. | Should such a catastrophe overtake the country the people must learn by experi- | ence what they should have learned by | diligent study and reason. “The time for straddlersis passed.

The relation of supply | to demand is the sole regulator of value. The axiom applies alike to salt, silver, | sugar and soap. All legislation of all the 1aw-making bodies on the face of the globe can neither mitigate or annul the opera- tion of the inexorable law. The relation of supply and demand is the sole regulator of value. “The President’s critics, however, ask what ‘sound money’ An ordinary man of business may answer that question. | ‘Sound money’ is that sort of currency | which has the most universal and least fluctuating purchasing power in | the different countries. That money is the soundest for which throughout. the commerce of the civilized world there is | the most universal demand, and that uni- | versal demand is always based upon the | universal and unfluctuating purchasing | power of that money.” | oug s. FIRED UPON BY A GUNBOAT Reported Killing of Two British Seamen by the Spanish. i ¥ | Great Excitement In Nassau Over the Sensational Stories Circulated.

Maneuvers at Windsor Cause a Somewhat Heated Controversy. LATEST GOSSIP OF LONDON. Easter Week Marked by the Un- usual Number of New Plays at the Theaters. | LONDON, E~a., April 20.—The past week has been mainly remarkable for a considerable display of amateur soldiers, and from it has arisen a small tempest which may result in permanent good to the auxiliary forces. The British volunteers, whose great yearly period of training is at Easter, are divided into two “parties—those who are desirous of doing serious soldiering and those who prefer making their annual holi- day a sort of picnic. This year the bulk of the volunteer regi- ments of the London district were taken to Windsor, where, with the guard battalions from Aldershot camp, some paltry maneuvers were carried out and on Easter | Monday there was a big review in the presence of the Duke of Connaught, | youngest son of the Queen, the general in command of Aldershot, Prince Christian of Schleswig - Holstein, Lord Methune, commander of the Thames District, and other war officials and all the royal ser- yants from Windsor Castle. The Times, in a leading article on the subject, takes the Duke of Connaught and | the other military officials sharply to task | for ordering “such a burlesque of real sol- | diering,” “Four days were mis- | spert in rehearsing for a royal review.” The comment of the Times has led to much correspondence on the subject, the writers in a number of instances thanking the Times for its outspoken criticisms of the military officials responsible for the | review at Windsor, and saying that the criticisms are in the real interest of the volunteers, The Queen has decided to discontinue hereafter the early drawing-rooms. She will hold four drawing-rooms after Easter. The Queen’s ostrich, which was pre- sented to her Majesty by a South African Queen, and which was recently given to the zoological gardens, died Tuesday last, much to the Queen'’s regret. The Worth establishment of Paris has | just created for an American lady a | unique sleeve, which represents a stained | glass window. The different lights are | marked out by raised piping of a contrast- ing color to the sleeves. The panels are exquisitely painted in rich, subdued colors. The owner of this | remarkable production paid a large sum to | have the model destroyed. Mr. Thomas Stevens of New York was married to Mrs. Frances Mary Barnes, widow of Prependary Barnes of Exeter, justbefore Easter. The lady is the mother of Mrs. Arthur Bonchier, and the Misses Irene and Angela Van Burgh. The Sun says that the life of the Prince | of Wales is insured for £8,250,000. | Mrs. John W.Mackay has arrivea in | Paris, accompanied by her daughter, the | Princess Colonna. Signora Elanora Duse, the Italian act- ress, signed a contract in Paris on Monday last with Harry Miner of New York for a tour of the United States, which will be-, gin in November next. Signora Duse will be supported by her own company. Will Not Accept It. CHICAGO, TvL., April 20.—The Iroquois Club refuses to accept President McCon- | nell’s resignation, tendered because he is | advocating the free coinage of silver. —_— Yellow Fever Prevails. BUENOS AYRES, ARGENTINE, April | 20.—Yellow fever of the severest form is reported at Santos. A Startling Adflfission. In New York City, for five cone« secutive years, the proportion of Deaths from Consumption has been three in every Twenty Persons. Epidemics of Cholera, Yellow Fever and other diseases of similar character, so terrible in their results, occasion wide spread alarm and receive the most care. ful consideration for their prevention and cure, while consumption receives scarcely a thought, yet the number of their victims sinks into insignificance when compared with those of consump- tion. Comparatively few people know what to do for their loved ones when they see them gradually lose strength, lose color, manifest feeble vitality and ema- ciatian, or develop a cough, with difficult breathing, or hemorrhage. Cod liver oil was for a long time given in all such cases, but the poor success attending its use coupled with its nauseating taste has led many practitioners, as well as the ublic at large, to place their main re- iance in Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It deserves early attegtion and will prove effectual notin every case but in a large percentage of cases, and we believe that fully o8 per cent. of all cases of consumption can, if taken in the early stages of the disease, be cured with the “‘Discovery.”” Dr. Pierce does not ask people to believe until they have in- vestigated for themselves. A pamphlet has been published having the names, addresses and photographs of a large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chrenic nasal catarrh and kindred mala- dies which will be mailed free to those sending for it with their name and ad- dress upon a postal card, or you can have a medical treatise, in book form of 160 pages, mailed to you, on receipt of ad- dressand six cents in stamps. You can then write those cured and learn their expericnces. Address for Book, WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Bufizlo, N. Y.
