liONiKJx, Sept.. .11,- The Time* this
morning In an article from .1 special
correspondent. In whose accuracy It
says it lias reason to place con ttdence,
makes the Important announcement
that the llank of Kngland director*
have couMcntcil to liold onu-fifth of the
hank'* reserve In silver.
The article, which 1* headed “A He
monstrance," says:
“lias the hunk been well advised ill
fulling '.n with the suggestion pushed
forward by certain Americans that It
should hold a fifth of it* reserve in
silver? i'erhups the assent was given
in very guarded terms; peihaps it .vus
done to oblige person* iu high ipiarters;
perhaps it was considered an act of in
ternational courtesy. There may have
been this or that, reason to excuse anil
extenuate; bat the broad, plain truth is
Mint In existing circumstances the
hunk ought to I uve set Its face em
phatically against uny such notion and
It ItSH not done so. It Is useless to
contend that the plan is stamped with
the permission of the bank charter
act and the authority of Sir Robert
Reel, HI* equally useless to remem
ber that at the Paris monetary con
ference in IHS3, the bank, on the sug
gestion of Italy and the United States,
gave some sort of promise that should
international tdmeteliam lie estate
Halted it might allow the reuppearunee
of sliver bullion us an asset In the is
sue department of the hank.
“Nowadays It would he us useless
for the Hunk of England to keep 7,000,
000 pounds 111 the shape of silver re
serve as It, would be for parliament to
ass a law for tin; creation of rotten
boroughs. Tho bunk of Kngland
ought, to have said this, and it *’tt*
said this. Hir Robert. Peel explained
lu IH14 thut it was well to hold silver
so as to bo in a position to enjoy the
Opportunity afforded u% by bimetallic
Prance to ,/ur il'btr in cheaper
inetal. Hut what has this to do
with the present American sug
gestion? The very point of It ts
that our reserve Is to consist perma
nently, lu part, of silver so that we
may assist, iu raising the price of sli
ver. That we should dispone of It at a
profit to Prance or America is the very
thing that, under the proposed scheme
of International bimetallism, we could
not do. The circumstances are quite
different Where Peel may have been
wise we should lie exceedingly foolish,
for as the only dubious point In our
financial system is the very occasional
weakness of our gold reserve at the
hank, why should wu deliberately
choose to water that reserve by prac
tically reducing it ouo-HIth?
“.Sir Robert Peel’s other reason whs
that a stock of sliver might occasion
f ally in: euuvemcub nn v»# -* •*
I fur Hast. Hut since the telegraph was
invented that reason no longer exists.
. We can order silver from anywhere In
a few seconds, and as Loudon is the
principal silver mart of the whole
world we need no ntock at the bank.

DEPUTIES BLAMED.
It la Kald limt Thera Wat Absolutely
No Nt-t'faaltjr for Iho shooting.
Hazi.KTon, Pa., Sept. 13.—Indigna
tion against tltn deputies is running
high and t. « charge is publicly
made that thure tvas absolutely no ne
eessity for the shooting. Tlio ininera
it is declared, were not armed in any
way, and If the deputies feared trouble
a single shot ovei their heads would
hate dispersed them. The fact is un
i disputed that many of the victims
were shot through the back while Hy
ing from the guns of the deputies.
The local police force has been consid
erably increased and lias received or
ders from Chief Fllor to stop the
slightest attempt at disorder. While
Fllor does not anticipate an outbreak,
yet from his long experience with the
foreign element be considers them
treacherous. Mayor Altmillcr of
lla/leton has been ill for some time
and is now laid tip with the rheuma
tism. The physicians liuve flutly rc
fused to permit him to take a hand in
the trouble.
Tills afternoon 1,600 men employed
in the Latimer mines voluntarily
joined the strikers. Almost Imme
diately after tha shooting the men
<1 uit work In a body and to-day they
belli u meeting and decided not to re
turn to work until every demand made
at every mine in the region should be
conceded by the operators.
The meeting was held in front of s
t umbledown frame school bouse a few
yards from the scene of last, night's
tragedy. It was entirely orderly, and
the leaders wero careful to counsel
moderation. The principal speaker
was Antoine Leuke, a bright young
I’olundcr, who hud hitherto acted as a
messenger between the strikers and
operators. He said: “1 am satisfied
that you are not armed and that, you
will not arm. and 1 want to tell you
you will best serve yonr cause by re
/naming unarmed.”
No further action than (hi* will be
taken to-day. "It Is too soon after,”
one of the men said with a shudder.
Monday a committee consisting of four
Italians and Hungarian* and four
1’olanders will be sent to inform the
operator* of their action.
While everything is perfectly quiet
this afternoon, the situation remains
extremely critical. Night may bring
with It a continuation of the calm or
it may see a new outbreak. The
foreigners arc apparently cowed by •
the presence of the troops, hut Sulur
I day night is a drunken period with
I them, arid apprehension is felt with
' the approach of darkness.
General Oobin ordered the Ninth
regiment to Hazel park, commanding
the roud from Ifriflun and one fiom
Latimer, the Twelfth regiment to
Donegal Hill, upon the opposite side
of the town holding tlie Jcansville
roau !"*«».«' fr?m lined; the
Second battalllon of th« Eighth
regiment from Schuylkill county
at Audcnried to be joined by the
Fourth; the Thirteenth regiment to
Latimer to take up a position over
looking the Latimer mine*. The gov
ernor'* troop us soon as it urrives will
l>e stationed at brigade headquarters
and Mattery M will he distributed
among the different commands. In
addition to the uauui equipment the
battery has two breechloaders and
two Gatlin guns. General fiokin also
sent to Philadelphia for the f 'ity troop
und will hold them at headquarter*.
Three weeks ago, drivers and miners
in tlie lloueybrook No. 5 colliery of
tlie Lehigh & Wllkaabarre foal com

engineer, and Kovi Walsh a carpenter,
reached tlie pot ou a mine engine
just in time to go to his assistance.
With the aiti of some others who soon
afterward arrived they drove off the
strikers.
Tlie strike lasted a week aud then
the men went hack to work upon tlie
promise of the officials to make an in
vestigation and settle the difficulties.
The settlement did not take place as
promised, however, and the men went
out ugain, tlie strike spreading gradu
ally over tlie whole region, as tlie men
at each colliery liutl one grievance or
unother. Kadi day the men have
marched, uml each ilay their numbers
have been augmented, owing to their

I,Incoin dispatch: W. J. Iruiu-n,
cashier of tin* hunk of Ifurchard, a.
small town In Pawnee county, was in
the city yesterday and hud a good deal
to say’regarding the prosperity that
lias struck that part of the country. He
says that hank deposits are increasing
wonderfully, while there is very little
demand for loans. Those who want to
lsirrow money are in most instances
well-to-do farmers who are making
large purchases of stock and ask for
accommodation for a short time. The
farmers who urc not so well fixed are
not asking for loans, and in many cases
are paying off notes which last year
were considered by the bank to he al
most hopeless. Mr. IIalderman says
that if this prosperity is due entirely to
wheat, there Is inuuli more of It to
tome, us not more than one-half of the
wheat crop in his vicinity has been
threshed, uiid only a small portion of
it gone to the market. He says that
tlie corn crop in his county will be im

of old corn already cribbed up, will

Lincoln dispatch: In an interview
with the land commissioner it is learned
that the leases of school lands at the
mictions recently held amounts to
about 100,000 acre's, and that there wiL
be nltout an equal amount leased in
other parts of the state at the coining
auctions. So far the bonuses received
have aggregated a little over 85,000,but
the amount received in rents is not us
large as the public lias licen led to In
lleve. For the leases already made the
state has received $3,500, and on the
first day of January will receive about
the same amount its the first payments
for the year 1M»8. The payments are
due oil January 1 and July 1 of each
year, and the lands leased this season
hitve mostly been taken since July L so
that the payments have not been for a
full half year, For the leases which
w ill likely lie made bufnre the end of
the year under the present plaus of the
laud commissioner, the stute will re
ceive about 85,000 in Isniuses and $3,00(1
In rent money. Then, lu January, il

following six months, the slate will re
