EKEARNEY IS Declines to answer Questions, but He Has a Letter Fram Tynan. ROTTERDAM, HoLiaxp, 8Sept. 15.— John F. Kearney, alias Wallace, the alleged dynamiter, who is under arrest here, was examined by the police officials this morn- ing, but he declined to answer any ques- tions whatever. A letter dated at Boulogne was found in his pockets and is presumed to have been written by Tynan. In the letter the writer tells ‘“Wailace” #nd Haimnes, the other supposed dynamiter arrested here, “If you dare not go to Scot- land now, come to Boulogne. Then we will talk over our plan among our brother- hood.” —_— HAVE ALL THE LEADERS. ZLondon Police Claim to Have Arrested the Chief Comspirators. LONDON, Exg., Sept 15.—The Daily News will to-morrow say the police be- lieve that they have all the leaders in the dynamite conspiracy. It is understood that Bell intended to remain in England after the proposed explosions took place, but that the others would return to America via Havre, sailing thence on Sep- tember 25. Tynan did not intend to come to Great Britain, as by so doing he would run the risk of falling inio the handsof the po- lice, who were anxlous to capture bhim for his connection with tbe Pheenix Park murders; also for his connection with the dynamite conspiracy, of which he did not know the police had any information. He was to stay in France, directing the opera- tions of his fellow-conspirators from Boulogne-sur-Mer. The police believe that one of the prisoners will become an informer, The morning papers all devote much space to details, rumors and theories con- cerning the dynamiters aud their plot, but make no mention of any further ar- rests. It is said that the police are still searching for somebody in Glasgow. BOULOGNE-SUR-MER, ¥rance, Sept. 15.—The Public Prosecutor to-day exam- ined Tynan and questioned him regarding his complicity in the murders of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke in Pheenix Park, Dublin. | Tynan denies that he actually took part in the murders. He is aware that his as. sociates in Glasgow and Rotterdam are under arrest. HAMBURG, GerMaxy, Sept. 15—C. T. Bugzz, an American who is a colleague of Mann, was also arrested. CEmis ENGLISH PEOPLE HORRIFIED, ZLose Sight of the dultan in Their Panic~ Strioken Condition. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 15.—A spegial dispatch to the Sun from London says: The consternation and horror of the Engtish people over the revelation of the dynamite conspiracy are more interesting than the latest disclosures of the plotit- self. If printers’ ink could produce panic London would be on the verge of nervous prostration after glancing at the columns of the usually solemn and unemotional journals of to-day. Never before have they so bristled with all the startling devices of sensational journalism. The Daily Telegraph, for ex- ample begins, an ainost panicky leading editorial thus: “England learns to-day how appalling has been the danger from which she has been rescued. That there should have | been a great dynamite conspiracy plotted | EXAMINED. in secret and silence by men who are | Ween enemies of the human race; that just at | the momeat when their plans were ripe for | action the nolice should have surprised and | arrested the ringleaders, and that one of | the men, the chief of the band, should be | 8 criminal wanted for the last tourteen years—all these facts are elements in a Blory at once vivid, dramatic and ter- rible.” The same newspaper contained a many- columned account of the conspiracy, with a great scare bead, beginnming, in the blackest letters ever used in its columns: “Grest Dynamite Plot Against England.” All newspapers in the country treat the matter in the same fashion, This will give some indication of the popular sensation which has been created, and which has distracted attention even | from the critical horrors in the east | that has raised public sentiment through- out England to a high state of indigna- tion. The Sultan, in fact, has to thank Tynan and his fellow-conspirators for bringing him some relief in an emergency, which President Cleveland’'s Venezuelan message furnished in December last, T0 CEPOSE THE SULTAN, Acts of the Young Turk Party That Forebode Another Outbreak. Brilish and French Residents of Constantinople Are Greatly Alarmed. LONDON, Exa., 8ept, 15.—The Standard will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Uonstantinople saying that the Young Turk party is covering the city with placards inciting the people to dethrone the Suitan. Berious trouble, it is added, is certain to occur within a week. Old Turkish troopships are nightly de- porting Armenians to the Black Sea, where it is believed they are drowned. The British residents, at the instance of the British embassy, have telegraphed to Lord Balisbury, stating that their lives and property are in danger. The French residents have taken similar action. The British and French fleets are now near the mouth of the Dardaneiles. Fuad Pasba, one of the Sultan’s aid-de~ camps, was questioned as to how long the forts along the Dardanelles could check the passage of warships, and he replied that they could stop them for almost half an hour. The Chronicle and the Daily News will to-morrow publish many eolumns claim- ing that ths nations are rousing them- selves against the Sultan, though the semi- official journals are callous to the suffer- ings of the Caristians in the Turkish do- minfons. . Mr. Gladstone has written a letter in which be promises to speak at an anti- Sultan meeting. CONSTANTINOPLE, Turkey, Sept. 15,—A. serious panic occurred to-day in the Galata quarter in consequence of the arrest of an Armeuian in whose possession were a number of incriminating letters. Everybody rushed into their houses, and the doors of shops and dwellings were hastily barred, the people fearing a repeti- tion of the looting and massacring. The panic spread to Pera, and similar scenes were enacted there. It was notuntilsome hours after the arrest was made that the fears of the people were allayed and the shons reopened. BRYAN TOURS THE BLUE GRASS STATE An Ominous Rain Dampens His Eloquence at Louis- ville. STILL HE HAS TO TALEK. Illustrates the Silver Question by Reference to Fluctua- tions in Eggs. . BETTER LUCK AT LI XINGTON. Addresses an Immense Audience at the Fair Grounds and Makes a Good Impression. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 15.—Hon. William J. Bryan, accompanied by Sena- tor Blackburn, Congressman Allen of Mississippi, General P. Wat Harding, ex-Congressman Stone of Kentucky and others of prominence, this mornming re- sumed his tour of the Blue Grass State on special train, which left the depot at :45 o'clock. A heavy rain set in shortly afler the candidate left Louisville, and the damp atmosphere had its effect on his already enfeebled voice when he made his first speech of the day at La Grange. At Eminence, where the train arrived at9:12, Mr. Bryan was in the midst of his remarks, when the clouds broke. Mr. Bryan said he would stop talking until the rain ceased, but the crowd would not let him and he went on. Among other things he said: If any man in this community weuld offer to buy all the eggs produced 8. 25 cents a dozen and was able to make good the offer nobody would sell eggs for less, no matter what the cost of production, whether 1 cent or 5 cents & dozen. So with silver. Free coinage would establish the market price of silyer at§1 29 &nd nobody would sell it for a cent less. Dur- ing the last five years .the production of gold has increased more rapidly, proportionstely, than the production of silver, and yet goid has advanced, owing to our present financial sys- tem. A few people only braved the rain to get a peep at the candidate at Christiansburg. At several emall stations crowds cheered the train as it whisked by. Frankfort was reached at 10:30 and the candidate spoke to an imme-nse throng from a stand in front of the Capitol. He said: . Ladies and Gentiemen: Iam in hearty ac- cord with the declarations contained in the Chicago platform. (Cheers]. Sometimes peo- ple have described party platforms as like the vlatforms of railroad coaches—made to get in on, but not to stand on afler you get in. [Laughter.] But that is not my 1dea of & party platiorm. "If 1 am elected I will take it for granted that the people are 1n fayor of the poli- cies for which I at this time stand, and the people shali never have cause to complain of my desertion of the cause which I advocate. [Cheers]. . A \";)l(:e—‘vhll'l the matter with Joe Black- urn Joe Blackburn is where he always is—in the tront of every fight.

[Applause.] All the time he was speaking the rain fell steadily, and just as he was concluding his remurks it became a downpour. The train left ¥rankfort at 11 A. M, and ar- rived at Midway at 11:30 in a heavy rain, and no speech was made there. Mr, Bryan, Senator Blackburn, National Committeeuan Woodson and the others in the nominee’s party were transferred to a special train on the Southern Rail- way, in which they proceedea to Ver- sailles, which was reached at 12:20 o’clock, A band at the station was plaving “‘Old Kentucky Honie” when his train came in, and with thaiin tbe lead and followed by a troop of horsemen he wes escorted to a stand erected on the beautiful thorough- fare. Here Mr. Bryan spoke to several hundred people, and then went off to Sen. ator Blackburn’s residence, where a ban- quet was served to a large party, LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 15 —William J. Bryan was given a rousing reception e this evening. He made a speach at the fair grounds to an immense audience, estimated at from 12,000 to 20,000. The falr ground’s grand stand, said to hoid 8000 peogl!. was used by spectators to the extent of three-fourths of its capacity. In the lower story, which was packed with humanity, nearly all the places were filled by men, while in the upper story a ma- jority of the onlookers were women. On the track 1n front of the Kiosk-like judges stand from which Mr. Bryan muie his address, several thousand men and boys stood ankle deep in mud. Elsewhere about the stand were a couple of thousand more spectators, Mr. Bryan, Senator Blackburn and a big party of Democrats from Louisville and other places in this State, reached Lexington from Versailles over the Bouthern railway at 2 p. M. and were met by State Senator C. J. Bronston, chairman of the Democratic Btate Central Committee and a number of local suppor- ters of the Chicago ticket, A procession a mile long, composed of Bryan and Bewall clubs, and a thousand borsemen, most of them mountea on iririm Kentucky thoroughbreds, escorted . Bryan to the fair grounds, The appear- ance of the candidate was the signal for an ovation. Men waved their hats as they cheered, and the women waved hand- kerchiefs as they joined in the shouting. Mr. Bryan was pres-nted by State Senator Bronston. Just after the Democratic can. didate had begun :is speech, shower drove many of from the fiela, but their plac: by a continuous stream of constantly ar- riving people. On the conclusion of the speech Mr. Bryan wasdriven te his special car at the Louisville and Nashville sta- tion, followed by the cavalcade that had formed part of his esoort to the grounds. The train left for Maysville at 5 P. M. One of the pleasantest incidents of the day was the parade of over 800 horsemen which passed the stand from which Mr. Bryan was speaking., In the middle of bis speech equestrians made their appear- ance carryine bauners, and interrupted Mr. Bryan in his talk, making a very im- pressive sight. They cheered him time aud again, and fell in line at the outskirt of the crowd and listened to the rest of his speech, Mr. Bryan said in part: Nature smiles upon your h 3 soil gives forth in ?&n’pmru.‘fi?fiflf,’m‘filfif ing to the experience of the farmer, with all he can do with his industry, with his economy, with ail bis patient tol, L finds that the 1 of the American farmer grows every year. {Groat applause.)

MAYSVILLE, Kv., Sept. 15.—William J. Bryan ended up his Kentucky campaign here to-night by addressing several thou- sand people in a heavy rainstorm. He reached Maysville by a special train at 7:15 p. M. and left on it for Lexingion at 8:30. At Lexington he will change to the regular Queen and Crescent train sched- uled to leave there at 10:45 tc-night for Knoxville and Harriman, Tenn. With reference to the great fatigue from which he suffered yesterday Mr. Bryan said to the representative of the United Associated Press to-night that he had had an easy day and in leaving Kentucky he felt well and strong enough to keep going for the rest of the campaign. The rain and short time allowed Mr. Bryan here spoiled the preparations for his reception to-night. He was placed ina carriage with Senator Blackburn and others at the railway station on his ar- rival and huriied to Market and New streets, where a platform had been erected. I'o the people standing in the deep mud there he made a short address and was then taken back to his special train. His audience showed much enthusiasm. On the way from Lexington to Maysville Mr. Bryan made a speech to a big crowd of very enthusiastic people, At Carlisle and other places along the roure he was cheered, but did not make any remarks. In bis Maysville u?uch. after referring to the interest people felt in standing in the rain to hear a political speech, Mr. Bryan said that when you took gold to fill decayed teeth, make engagement rings and for use in the arts, and to furnish enouch for the Keely cure, it did not leave enough for use as money. The rest of his remarks were devuted to advocacy of the restoration of silver by the side of gold. ————— SEWALL MU Populists Believe He Should Make Way for Watson. CHICAGO, Irv., Bept. 15.—George F. Washburne, chairman of the Western brauch of the Populist National Com- mittee, was interviewed by a reporter for the United Associated Presses on the sue- cess of the Maine election and made the following statement: “The resuits are just what we expected. Maine is my native Btate, and I know the sentiment there. The vote has no more significance than Arkansas’ reply to Vermont, except to emphasize how much of a burden the Democracy has in its Vice-Presidential candidate.” “Do you think Mr. Sewall should with- dfw i ‘L certainly do, and the State of Maine also says so. I agree with Tom Reed that ‘Sewall’s star sinks aud Watson’s rises.’ The voice of Maine does not indicate any mismanagement of the campaign., Itis no test of Bryan's popularity or even of the silver issue, No special effort was made in Maine, except by the Republii- cans. Senator Jones and Benator Builer have shown remarkable ability in the management’ of the Nutional campaign, considering the limited means at the command of both. The rapid flank move- ments of these generalsin concentrating their fire has at times thrown the enemy into consternation, but the question con- stantly arising between the two forces over fusion matters impairs the work. We should concentrate our efforts on the elec- tion of one ticket. If this could be done success would be certain, There js an un- derrcurrent of feeling which pervades the Nation in pupport of tne claimsof Mr. Watson and his friends that he should be recognized. There is force in the state- ment that ‘Mr. Sewall is no more our can- didate than is Mr. Hobart,' There is aiso significance in the attitude of the ‘middle- of-the-road’ men, who say that ‘No Wat- son means no Bryan.’ “I know that these men, as well as the Republicans have accumulated & mass of evidence against Mr. Sewall which they intend to make public and which may force the Democratic party to a defense of Mr. Bewall’s record during the closing days of the campaign, but so long as the issue can be kept ®n silver, Mr. Bryan as the standard bearer of the allied forces, can keep the enemy on the run. The Re- publicans realize this. Therefore, failing to win on principle, I believe their trump card will be to show in doubtful States the inconsistency of Mr. Sewall's record and how much of a misfit he is on the Demo- cratic ticket. It is possible for him to be- come the peer of the campaign by rising above personal ambition and declaring thai the silver canuse must win. If, on the other hand, he insists on remaining on the ticket and the attack on him should result in Bryan’s defeat, he wounld be held responsible by an indignant people and wonld be scorned and hated as the most unpopular man in America. “Mr. Sewall cannot be forced off the ticket. It would be better for him to re- main on than to retire in any way that would do his party injury. The Maine election 1s oyer, he has demonstrated his weakness. His party vote in his own ward was oniy about one-half what it was four years ago. He has contended four times for election as Alderman and has been defeated twice, the last time by a ship-joiner, who polied 121 votes to his 78. I understand, further, that Mr. Sewall at- tended the June convention of his party NUOW RETIRE. + in his State, which nominated Mr. Wins- low, a gold Democrat, on a goia platform, and though Mr. Sewall was there he offered no objection to platiorm or ticket and seemingly acquiesced in the nomina- tion of the cundioates, and in the adoption ofthe platform, which was byaeclamation. “We have bad hard work to restrain our people up to the present time and the gravity of the situation has not dawned on the Democratic leaders. The crisis is ac hand and I trust & way will be found to unite all the reform forces upon two can- didates representing both sides to resist the combined forces of the Cleveland Re. publicans and the McKinley Democrats, The only way to unite is for the Demo- crats to take our man.” T GOLD, His Compliments Sewall. WAHOO, Ngsg., Bept. 15.—Hon. Thomas Watson, with Governor Holeomb and Coogressman Bell of Colorado, visited this city to-day. Notwit: 3 which made country roads a literal mire the sturdy farn.ers of Saunders and sur- rounding counties came in by train and wagon to hear the speeches anid partici- pate in the demonstration. A brass band headed two Bryan clubs, which mes thedis- tinguished visitorat 10 o’clock. The mem- bers of the party were taken in carriages fo the Commercial Hot;l. where an in- lormal reception wus held. Later the party was escorted to the Courthouse grove, where Governor Hol- comb of Nebraska introduced Mr. Wat- son. Just before he was introduced one of the bands played “Marching Through Georgia,”” Mr. Watson described Sherman’s march to the sea and said that Georgia, as well as the entire South, was laboring under the appalling carse of the gold standard, which he denominated as causing more misery in the South than the whole war. He vividly depicted three classes of slavery. The first, he said, was composed of those born in slavery; the second, of those sold into slavery, and the third the class which had been placed in slavery by unjust laws, Mr. Watson made a very vigorous at- tack upon Vice-Presidential Candidate Sewall, which _was well received by the Populists, but Democrats think the attack ancalled for. At the conclusion of Mr. Watson’s address the audience was ad- dressed by Governor Holcomb and Con- gressman Bell, Rl A HILL ¥ET AT THE HELM. New York Democrats to Be Asked to Put Throwsh His State. BUFFALOQ, N. Y., 8ept. 15.—Frae silver will dominate the Democratic Convention to-morrow. Candidates, State issues and all other questions will be relegated to second place. The platiorm will deter- mine the ticket, The extreme Silverites hope to out-Chicago the Chicago platform and thus prevent the nomination of a conservative Democrat for Governor. This will be offered by the leaders, who desire above all things to prevent a split and the nomination of a second State Democratic ticket. Chief among those leaders is Senator Hill, who wil not be here, but whose influence will be felt. All talk of the abandonment of the party to its fate by the senior Senator is nonsense. He has active lieutenants on the field, and the long-distance telephone is part of the State machine, Whether Senator Hill and the old leaders can control the con- vention or not is a question that the con- vention will determine. A s bas been made, and if itis put through it will be plainly apparent that Senator Hill is still at the helm. Here1s the siate: For Governor, John Boyd Thatcher of Albany; for Lieutenant-Governor, Gen- eral Isaac Catlin of Kines; for Judge of the Court of Appeals, Irving G. Vant of Onondagua; for chairman of the State Committee, Elitott Danforth; for member of the National Committee, Frank Camp- bell; for temporary chairman of the con- vention, Thomas F. Grady of New York; for fiormlnont chairman, ex-Congressman H. H, Rockwell of Chemung, The platiorin, which has been shown to Senator Hill and approved by aim in 1ts references to State issues, and by Chair- man James K. Jones of the Democratic National Committee in its attitude on National questions, will indorse Bryan and Bewal:, declare for free and unlimited coinage of siiver, denounce trusts and cor- porations, condemn bond issues in time of peace, and denounce the Raines law, ihe last Republican Legislature and Ke- publican extravagance in general. If this platform can be put through and Thatcber and Cathn nominated it is believed that the {mny cun be held togetber and the placing of a ticket in the field by the *ship” Democracy prevented. If, however, the extreme silver men suc- ceed in their avowed programme of in- dorsing everv plank of the Caicago plat- form, including that referricg to the in- come tax, a more pronounced silver man than Thatcher will be nominated and the Shepherd Democrats will be chalilenged to run an opposition ticket, The friends of William Sulzer and other extreme advocates of the Chicago platiorm are bending all energies to accomplish this result. A platform representing their views has been prepared by their friends and a strong effort to force its adoption will be made. Should they succeed, the slate will go to smash and tbe field will be open for all other candidates, If the machine wins the name of Gen- eral Isaac Catlin for Lieutenant-Governor may be replaced by that of Edward M. Grout or some other Kings County man. It is generally conceded that Kings Coun- ty 15 to have the second place. There is still plenty of talk of James W. Ridge- way. Ex-Senator Charles P. McClelland of Westchester is out of the race and de- clares that he never was a candidate. Eiliott Danforth was elecied a member of the State Committee from the Twenty- sixth District to-day and will be selected as chairman of the committee to succeed B. W. Hinckley, who will resign after per- forming his auty of calling the conven- tion to order. It was decided this evening that ex- Congressman Hosea H. Rockwell, an orig- inal silver man, who voted for silver in Congress two years ago, should be perma- nent chairman, . The State committee met this evening, but transacted only routine business mapped out by the leaders. There were conferences late to-night, at which most of the influential men here were present and the work of the conven- tion was blocked out, but no man can say to-night whether the convention will fol- low the orders of ihe leaders or run itseli. CONNECTICU The Silver Element Will Control the New Haven Convention. - NEW HAVEN, Coxw., Bept. 15.—The silver element in the Democratic party in DEMOCRATS. Connecticnt has carried the day and will have undisputed control of the convention to-morrow. . Tha State Committee met this after- noon. The question of a temporary chair- man of the convention came up at once. Horace Taft of Watertown was named by Mr. Davis for the gold men, and William Kennedy of Naugatiuck by the silver ele- ment. Tre latter gentieman was chosen by a vote of 10 to 7. Chairman Davis at once announced that as he seemed to be out of sympathy with the majority of the committee he would withdraw to-morrow, as has been stated. Fred J. Brown of Waterbury, a member of the committee and its secretary, an- nounced that he, too, would resign. Mel. bert B. Carey of Ridgefield and R. B. May of Ansonia will take similar action. The names of the other members to resign cannot be ascertained to-night. In the fignt for control of the conven- tion candidates for places on the ticket have been lost sight of, but _the ticket will probably be as follows: For Governor, Joseph B. Sargent, New Haven; Lieuten- ant-Governor, 8. A. Crandall, Norwich; Secretary of State, 8. A. Gowdy, Bristol; Treasurer, A, P. Dowe, Danielson; Comp- troller, P. Coughlin, Bridgeport. g EA Ty CHAIRMAN BUITLEK'S DENIAL, Says tiepublicans and Populists Will Aot Fuse in Texas. WASHINGTON, D, C., Sept. 15.—Sena- tor Butler, chairman of the Populist Na- tional Committee, had occasion this after- noon to deny another story from tha South relative to the aileged fusion between the Republicans, Democrats and Populists in Texas. “You may say for me,” said the chair- man, “that there will no fusion any- Where between the Populists and the Re- publicans on the electoral ticket, - We do not propose to aid in any possible manner the election of electors piedged to the gold standard, and all stories to that effect are products of the imagination.” Mr. Butler had two short conferences to- day with Senators Teller and Dubois over the situation in the West, and stated. this evening that good progress has been e; that where friction had existed 1t ‘Was probable thatit would be removed, d that a thorough understanding would ‘be reached between all the parties inter- ested in bringing about the election of Mr. Bryan. When pressed for particulars with regard to the State of Idahoand one or two of the-Southern States where therg¢ ap- ared up to this time to have been a itch, Mr. Butler declined to give them. Senators Teller and Dubois had another talk with Chairman Jones this evening, but it related entirely to the details of the c&mE ign. Senator Dubois, after a tour of the Pacific Coast States, will return later on to_ Iilinois and make several speeches. He leaves for the West to- morrow. SenatorJones starts for Chicago to-night. He i3 satisfied with the result of his visit to New York and this city, and says that he goes back to Chicago satisfied with the conaition of the campaign and more thoroughly convinced than ever that Bryan will be ‘elected. Spe: of the election in Maine, he said i jar from discouraging to the Democrats; on the contrary, all the circumstanc's consid- ered, it was quite encouraging. There was a marked increase in the total Demo- cratic vote and a 'very considerable in- crease in the free silver vote in that State, where it had been claimed at the outset there was no silver sentiment whatever. If this ratio should be maintained in all the States, as he believed it would be, the election of Bryan would result with an enormous majority of the popular vote and a large proportion of the State elec- toral votes. “NO WATSO y O BRYAN» That Is the Spirit of Illinots Middle-of- the- Road Populists. CHICAGO, IrL., Sept. 15.—*Middle-of- the-road’’ Populists of Illinois, who repu- diated the Springfield convention of the fusion wing, heid a turbulent convention to-day, lasting until midnight, and nomi- nated a State ticket, with the exception of Governor, which was purposely left vacant because a majority of the delegates did not want to put up a man against Governor Altgeld. A fierce fight was made at the night session, which frequently assumed the agpect of a physical contest, the anti- Altg‘fid delegates stubbornly resisting the determination of the majority not to al- low Henry D. Lloyd, who had been slated for Governor, to be put at the head of the ticket to endanger the cause of Bryan, Altgeld and free silver. The ticket nominated was as follows: Lieutenant-Governor, Henry D. Lloyd, Chicago; Secretary of State, L. A. Quel- maz, Belleville; Btate Auditor, Grant Dunhr. La Salle County; Attorney-Gen- eral, D. I. Durdick, Cnicago; Treasurer, Joseph Schwerzen, Chicago; Trustee of the University of Iliinois, Mrs, Fanny C. Kavanaugh, Chicago. The resolutions adopted indorsed the platform and nomination of the St. Louis convention in nominating Watson and “‘most emphatically denounced any action which prevents the Populists of any State from exercising the privilege of casting their ballots for him,” A bitteranti-Sewall spirit was manifested and every delegate wore a badge inscribed “No Watson, no Bryan.” pol L.

SHIP N FLAMES 4T SEA Thrilling Spectacle Reported by Two Vessels Arriving at New York. Believed to Be the State of Maine, Coal Oil Laden—Her Life- boats Gone. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 15.—Reports made by three vessels that arrived yester- day arouse the gravest fears that the three- masted ship State of Maine, that left here on September 4 with a cargo of coal oil for S8hanghai, has been burned at sea, and that all on board, some twenty-six men, have perished. The steamer Adria, from Port Antonio, reported that about 240 miles norih of Hatteras, on September 9, she sighted a burning ship whicb had evidenily been abandoned. Her deckhouse was on fire and the flames were shooting up through her batches. All ner lifeboats were mis- sing, indicating that her crew had taken refuge in them. The Norwegian bark Viva, which re- turned to this port yesterday, disabled by s hurricane, sighted the burning craft on BSeptember 1lth, about 200 miles east by scutheast of the Hook. The only oil-laden vessels besides the State of Maine, which have of late left this port, have been the Indiana and the gem s, which sailed on August 14 for hina. The State of Maine, Captain A. D. D.

HOW THE PARITY IS MAINTAINED Secretary Carlisle Explains the Coinage of Silver " and Gold. PREFERENCENOTSHOWN Information Given to a Batch of Correspondents in One Letter. UNCLE SAM IS IMPARTIAL, When Yellow Metal Money Is De- manded, It Is Paid, and So Is the White. 1 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 15.—Secre- retary Carlisle, from his summer retreatin Bar Harbor, Me., has addressed to one of his Kentucky correspondents the following ietter, which is this day made public: James P. Helm, Louisvill—MY DEAR Sim: Your letter asking how the silver dollars whicn contain a quantity of buliion commer- cially worth only about 53 cents are main- tained at a parity with gold, notwithstanding the fact that the Government does not directly redeem them or the certificates issued upon them in gold, is received, and as & great many inquiries upon the same subject are addressed to me daily from different parts of the country ‘which i¢ is impracticable to answer in detsil 1 will take advantage of your favor to answer them all at once. All the standard silver dollars {ssued from mints since the passage of the act of 1878, now amounting to more than $433,000,000, have been coined on public account from bullion purchased by the Government, and are legal tender in payment of all debts public and pri- vate, without regard to the amount, except when otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract between the parties. They belong to the Government when coined, and they are paid out by the Government at & parity with goid for property and services of all kinds, and received from the people at a parity with gold in the payment of all dues and demands, The Government has made nodiscrimination what- ever between the coins of the two metals, gold having been paid oun its coin obligations when gold was demanded, and silver having been paid when silver was demanded. Under this policy the eoinage has beenso limited by Jaw and the polidy of the Treasury Department that the amount coined has not become so great as to drive the more yaluable coin—gold—out of the country and thus de- stroy the pasis of our monetary system; and 50 long as the two metals are of unequal com- mercial value at the ratio establishea by law this limitation upon the coinage is, in my opinion, absolutely essential to the mainte- Dance of their parity in effecting exchanges. It constitutes the principal safeguard for the protection of currency against the deprecia- tion which the experience of all countries has shown would otherwise result in the attempt 10 use two legal tender coins of the same de- nomination but of unequel value. If the limitation were removed confidence in the ability of the Government to}naurve equality in the exchangeable value of the coins would be destreyed and the parity would be lost long before the amouni ot silver coinage had be- come really excessive, ‘With frée and unlimited coinage of silver on account of private individuals and corpor- ations, the Government would be under no moral obligation to maintain the parity, and, moreover, it would be unable to do so. because the volume of overvalued sllver forced into circulation by a legal tender provision would soon expel gold from the country, or put such & premium upon it that it would be impossible to procure and hold in the treasury a sufficlent amount to provide for the redemption of silver on presentation. In order to maintain the parity under such conditions the Goveru- ment would be compelled from the beginning to exchange gold for sliver dollars and their per representatives whenever demanded, ust as it now exchanges gold for its own notes when demanded; and as the coinage of silver dollars would be unlimited and therefore constantly increasing & point would soon be reached where it would be impossible to con- tinue the process of reaemption., The implied obligation of the Government to preserve the value of money which it coins from its own bullion and for its own use and which it forces its citizens to recelve in exchange 1or their gropony and service has been supplemented y two statutory declarations, which sub- stantially pledge the public faith to the main- tenance of tnagpolicy. The act of J1 14, 1890, aiter providing that the Secretary of the Treasury should, under such regulations as he mgnt;nlcrlbe. Te- deem the ‘treasury mnotes issued in the pur- chase of silver bullion in gold or silver, at his discretion, declares that it is *‘the established policy of the United States to maintain the iwo metals on a parity with each other upon the present legal ratio, or such ratio as may be provided by law,” and the act of November 1, 1893, n%nn declares it to be ‘‘the policy of the Uuited States to continue the use of both gola and silveras standard money and to coin both gold and silyer into money of equal intrinsic and exchavgeable value, such guality to be secured through interpational agreement, or br such safeguards of legislation as will in- sure the maintenance of the parity of the value of the coins of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the mar- kets in the payment of debts. With kuowhdfa of these assurances the ?eople have received these coins and have re. ied confidently upon the good faith of their Goyvernment, and the confidence thus in- spired has been a most potent factor in the maintenance of the parity. The public has been satisfied that so long as our present mon- etary system is preserved the Government will NEW TO-DATY. “APENTA”" THE BEST NATURAL APERIENT WATER.
