Important Decision) Hearing on the Pen
loo Rights of Soldiers.
Washington.June 8. Another decision
has been rendered by Assistant Secre
tary Reynolds bearing on the question
'of the date of the termination of the
civil war and the pensionable rights of
soldiers enlisting in 1865 and 1S66. The
conclusion reached by Mr. Reynolds Is
that In all these cases the question to
be ascertained Is whether the enlist
ment of the soldiers was for service in
the war of the rebellion or for the reg
ular army. If the former he is pension
able and If the latter he Is not.
The secretary holds that enlistments
in the loyal slates after April 13, 18C5,
when recruiting ceased, will not be
deemed enlistments in or for the war
of the rebellion. In the other states,
territories and the District of Columbia,
June 1, 1865, will be taken as the final
date, as enlistments then ceased in
these parts cf the country, and July 1,
1865, when the blockade of the southern
ports was raised, will be taken as the
final date of war enlistments for tha
navy.

BANKER CASSATT ARRESTED.
Failure of the Fella National Bank As
suming a Serious Look.
Des Moines, Iowa, June 8. Ex-Senator
E. R. Cassatt, until recently the
president of the First National Bank of
Pella, arrived here yesterday An the
Rock Island train with "United States
Marshal Gray. Investigation shows
that $60,000 of tho bank's funds are miss
ing, much of it belonging to the poor
of the town. While it is generally
known that part of his dealings on the
board of trade was alleged to have been
done through a Des Moines bucket-shop,
his later and larger deals were made In
Chicago. The amount of cash on hand
is $8,000, while the examiner's report for
January showed the amount on hand to
be 40 per cent of the full amount. The
fact that the present cashier, J. H. Stu
benruch, swore to the bank's being In a
s-golvent condition on March 5 and May
7 places him in a peculiar position.
OLD MINE CAVES IN.
Several Buildings Badly Damaged at
Scranton, Pa.
Scranton, jra.., June o. ah extensive
mine cave-in in the old workings in the
northern section of this city badly dam
aged several dwellings yesterday and
caused the occupants of many of the
houses to flee in their nightclothes. The

warning. It was caused by a "working"
in the Providence Coal company's four
foot vein. The buildings affected are
six double dwellings. Nobody was in
jured, although the movable contents
of all the houses were badly damaged.
The loss cannot be estimated until the
surface ceases to settle. Already tha
damage is from $10,000 to $15,000.

Once before in American history
the supreme court covered itself with

fo those who believe in a "money

tion or two. Is it the money or is it
the gold that that those foreigners
want? If the weight of pure gold
were stamped on the piece wouldn't
the foreign bankers take it just as
readily as if it said "one eagle"? Then
what is the use of putting the money
stamp on gold for export? When the
ten-dollar gold piece goes abroad we
have lost ten dollars from our circula
tion. When the same amount coes
abroad without the money stamp it
pays as much foreign debt and leaves
us with no less money than we had be

Secretary Morton writes a public let
ter against silver, in which he tells
how many silver dollars are in the
treasury "unused;" but he neglects to
state how many pieces of paper have
been issued by the government and
placed in circulation to represent that
"unused" silver, and which are re
deemable in this "unused silver." All
the gold in the national banks and the
gold reserve in the treasury is "un
used" in the same sense in which Sec
retary Morton speaks of "unused" sil

to react upon the side that uses it.

A DEAD GIVE AWAY.
The Value of Gold Would Decline If Gold
Was Treated as Silver Is.
Silver recently took a rajse, "mostly
due to an armistice between Japan and
China." The gold-bug Chicago Tribune,
in speaking of it, says:
"But it is not unlikely the increas
ing probabilities that an international
monetary conference will be heldl
shortly helped to make the holders of
silver more firm in their views in re-i
gard to the future selling value of the
white metal, for there is good reason
to believe that at least a considerable
part of the decline of the last twenty
years was owing to the cessation of a
coining demand for it." '
The Tribune has been doing its level
best to lessen the coining demand for
silver, and has been howling about the
"cheap" dollar and now, accidentally,
perhaps, it lets the kitten out of the!
bag, "for there is reason to believe
that at least a considerable part of thef

the amount of money in existence in

WHEAT HAS A FALL.
Trice at Chicago Drops Early,
Bat Has
a Rally later.
Chicago, June 3. The wheat market
on the board of trade was pounded fear
fully by the "bears" to-day, assisted
by the "bulls," who desired to realize
on their purchases made at lower levels,
and the result was a decline of 294c a
bushel before the hammering process
was stopped. Wheat closed Saturday
at 79c and opened nervous and ex
cited at 79c. The opening quotation
.was the hisrhest of the day. Within
three minutes the props were knocked
from under the market and wheat was
Belling at 78c. Then the crowd
Jumped In and stamped It down to
nearly the lowest point it has reached
for days. The trading was heavy only
in spots, but the pit was wild. There
was noise and shouting when 78c was
passed. It was a tumult and riot when
the 76c mark was wiped out. Brokers
were widely divided in their opinion of
the future, and men touching elbows
predicted, the one 65c and the other
dollar wheat.
Corn was almost as badly hit as
wheat. It opened at 52c to 62tfc. as
against the close on Saturday of 52c.
The corn traders were in sympathy
with the wheat crowd, but they had
better reasons for breaking the market
Every one had corn to sell, but few
seemed to want it, and in short order
the quotations went down with a whirl
to OOftc. There was a substantial rally
in the last half-hour, and the-closing
prices were: Wheat, 78c; corn, 61c;
and the market was strong at these
quotations.
