The action of the Indian Government in closing the Indian mints to the free coinage of silver has caused some concern in administration circles and among the opponents as well as the friends of that metal. In administration circles it is regarded as tending to create sentimt-nt in favor of the repeal of the Sherman law. It hab hitherto been maintained b3r the silver men that so long as India absdrbed 45;000,000 ounces Of silver yearly" ahd threw her mints open to free" coinage there was hd danger bf the total repudiation bf silver as money. and while it was the policy bf Great Britdih to cheapen the cost of silver as much as possible, there was no danger of her demonetizing it. The silver men have contended that should Eng land close her Indian mints to free coinage of silver it would bring about a revolution that would endanger her hold of her vast Indian possession, as the natives would not submit to hav ing their wealth wiped out at one blow. That the change of currency will pro duce a commercial revolution and en tail disorders ror the time being is re garded as likely, and the effect may be seen in this country through rettex ac tion in Great Britain. A J. Warner of Ohid, president of the American Bimetallic League", said: "The stoppage of the cbinage Of sil ver in India is the inauguration bf a new monetary revolution; or rather the extension td the far east bf the revolution begun in 1S72-3 in the west ern world; It is the second act in the same great conspiracy. It is a move ment deep-seated and will be far i caching in its consequences. I look upon this act of India's, by which the catewavs of the East are closed to silver, 'together with the determined purpose of the monometallists of this country to repeal the Sherman act as events fraught with greater danger to man than anything that has ever transpired within the century. "What becomes now df the claim that the United States must stop the purchase Of silver in order to force England td join in ah international agreement. England has determined, if possible, to foree the repeal of the silver-purchase law in the United States. The closing of the mints of Bombav and Calcutta is a part of the gigantic conspiracy to seize upon the present opportunity or to establish iinally and forever the single gold standard and to extend it over the world. This is the critical juncture. The turning point is now. If free coin age were restored in the United States it would be the end of the single gold standard. On the other hand, if the absolute repeal of the present silver law in the United States can be forced tlirontrh the work is done. It was therefore deemed safer to btop coin uge in India fin-t. The immediate consequences will be that silver will fall, and gold will increase in value faster than ever. Prices Will soon begin to fall in India. The whole world in time, will feel the effect of the consummation of this last act of the gold conspira'ors. Prices will continue to fall everywhere as gold rises. The end no one can see. Every advantage will inure to cred itors and creditor nations. England has set out to subdue the world, not with arms, but with trold V" turning everything to gold. "If this movement is allowed to run its course unchecked there will be fine grinding before the mills are done. It a . . ...fit. a.a i v a c. is a movement oig nun reumnua, and is. sowing the seeds of anarchy. But will it be allowed to run its course? That depends on the United States. If the United States allows England for ever to dictate her financial policy, as she has done since the war, then we must take the consequences. But if the American people have any inde pendence of character left they will not do so, and it should now be evi dent to everybody that the United States must finally act independently. The international conference has gone with the stoppage of the mints in India." A national convention of the Amer ican Hi-metallic league has already decided upon for the latter part of Au gust at 1-1. Louis or Chicago. This plan will not be changed unless Con gress should be called together at an earlier date than given out by the president." - DEMAND AH EAJkUER iKMlOV.

June 27. Tclosrrams from Calcutta say the Indian government has stopped the coinage of silver for private account at the mints. Hi the house of lords today, E:lrl Kimberley, secretary of stale fbr India, stated that the Indian council had passed an act for the immediate closing of mints to the free coinage of silver and that it was intended to introduce a gold standard in India, though gold would not be the sole legal tender. In the house of commons Mr. Glad" stone gave information similar to that given in the house of lords by the earl of Kimberley. He added that gold would nbt be made a legal tender at present, Begarding the silver now on I the way to India, Mr. Gladstone said ! that the government of India had been instructed that it was open to it to ad- j mil this silver if it thought lit. i Bt. Hon. Goschen, formerly chancel lor of the exchequer, asked if the ad mission to free coinage of silver now .roitur to India would not establish a great injury, or effect tho destruction ) nf such silver as was in the hands of meni bf Sixty-third Street,- then came a shout as" at exactly 9:3d U'clPek yester day morning John Berry finished first'. There was only a small crowd ai the gates of Buffalo Bill's Wild West to ?reet the tlrjd man who had ridden a thousand miles in record time for the reason that very few had any ided that the leader would make such fast time the last nart of the race. Those who saw Berry fini&h were .v.ipriscd. "Why, he's on'y a little bit of a man," they said. lit: in a little man. As he Hung hiliise'if frdni his horse iri front of Coldnel Cdtly's teut in the iiielosure his smallncss becaiiic niore apparent.- He is scarcely as tall as his htirsl", rOiVyn, that brought him the last sixty-live miles from Dekalb to ChL-ago sines 11 U'clock the night before. A gleam of pleasure' spread itself orer this little man's Vroii.ejl and biiriicd featuFcs as Colonel Cddy stepped forward .rtiid shook him W the hand with ilic re mark, "You are the lirat mm in. You are all right, John; you are all right."' The horse was the center C ne in terested group and Berry formed trie center of attr.ieti m for another. Of the two objects the man was the sorriest, sleepiest and mot tired. The horse showed no fignw of being sleepy, tired or sdre Ills to.it was unrullled and without a bit of lather. He looked able to go another 100 miles. On the other hand, the litier InbKed worn 'but, but l.is little g. ay eyes showed there was abundant deteriuiii-ition iii tlie small, well khil frame: lie iuade d unique picture as he stood there shaking hands with members of the press, vaequeros and Indians. With all Berry's exultation at winning the race, even under protest in spite of his sleepless nights and days, he turned to Colonel Co.ly and said, "Look out for Unit lidrsO, please." Upon being as sured that ever-, thing would be. done for tln rmliii il Berry nllbWed himself to he conducted to the dining tent, where he cleaned a bit and tiicklcd some chicken with a gusto born of 1,010 miles of hard riding. When he finished he dropped in the sofa, tired out. In a second he jumped up and said he must go and look after his horse He went over to the stable ami artor .seeing tuai everything was all right he took a nap of a eouplc of hours. The stdrv of his last division ride Is simple: "1 lb ft Dekalb at 11.01 p. m. on Uohon ami I kept j:bundirig uloilg as fast as I cdulcl without hurting the horse. When we reached Turiier we got a telegram from Dekallr stating that Smith and Gillespie wen just,two hours and thirty minutes behind, so I knew I had the race sure. I fed and watered between El burn and Lodi. We took the stta'ght St. Charles road and struck Maywood about 7 o'clock this morning and I was afraid for the horse hours, 1,010 miles in ifffrtecn days and sixteen hours, there will be a" rush for the American animal. European na tions will want American bred horses for their cavalry. Of course on the en tanglement of the riders and protests I am not in a position to decide, but I do say that the horses are in splendid condition. I was not surprised at that either, for it is just as I said a few days aothe cowboy know that the horse Is their best friend and that its best en deavors cdri be brought out with kind ness and care."

Tribute to the greatest living statesman was paid Sunday by the unveiling in the ban miiM.inr hall of Doneiral castle in the Irish village, on the Midway plaisance, of a collossal statue of William E. Glad stone. The event was participated in by an audience that crowded the hall and packed the lawn outside and in which there were many Irish repre sentatives from other parts of the state as well as from Wisconsin and Michi gan. The statue, which is nine feet high and stands on a twelve-foot pedes tal, is a fac simile of the one unveiled no jewelry or front 0f tjow church, London, in 1SS2 by Lord Carlinford and is by the same sculptor, Bruce boy of London, who was present and was introduced to the audience. Mayor Carter B. Harrison presided over the excrcis-es and gave a vigorous address, in which he compared Bis marck and Gladstone to the infinite ad vantage of the latter. The premier, he said, was the uncrowned king of Eng land. Victoria was the tigurate as queen, but Gladstone was the king by the will of the people. He had been cursed by the English and damned by the Irish, but hc was wiser than his opponents and budded better than the Irish knew or ven imagined. The mayor told how in an immense meeting in this city he had been roundly hissed for mentioning Gladstone's name and how a fevt mo ments later in the same hall a still lar ger audience had cheered the name of "Grand Old Man" to the echo. It was a proud day for Chicago when it could unveil a statue of the patriot and it was to Le regretted that his age and en irageinents made impossible for him to visit the World's fair. His very pres ence in the city would be sufficient to set its population crazy with enthusi asm. At the close of the mayor's ad dress Mrs. Ernest Hart of London pulled the cord and the silken cloth fell to the ground, disclosing the statue of the English staf esman. That was the sig nal for applause that lasted for several moments. The well known Irish song, "Katie Mavoure," was then sung by Miss Jenerva Johnstone Bishop, the Irish soprano, and who had journeyed some .o miles m oruer io ienu uer hare to the program. 'Sore?

An intimate friend of the Secretary of the Treasury in conversation with a reporter yesterday said that ac cording to Mr. Carlisle a canvass of the members of Congress had beea made two months ago in behalf of Mr. Cleveland, with the result that it was learned that there was a majority of the House in favor of the repeal of the Sherman silv r-p- rchasc law, but that in the Senate there was a majority of twenty the other way.

UNCLE SAM HOLDS THE KEY- Mexican Financiers Declare the Vnlted States Can Force Bimetallism. City of Mexico, June SO. The tre mendous drop in the price of silver, bringing exchange on New York to CO nr cent, has created much discussion among Mexican bankers. They generally regard the present situation as offering a good opportun ity for tlie United States to force bimetallism upon Europe. It is sug gested by one man that the United States might issue a gold loan of 500, 000.000 4, per cent bonds, which, it is said, would be immediately taken up in Europe, where all other government securities would immediately drop heavily, noi being able to compete with American bonds. Then, according to the theory, gold would How Into the United States and in a short space of time bimetallism wou'd have to bo adopted by Europe and the enormous quantity of silver held by the American treasury would rise in value, tne wnoie irausacnou being immensely profitable to the United States. It is said here that if nothing is done to bring about bime tallism all the silver-using countries will begin manufacturing for them selves and the United States and Eu rope will lose enormously in their foreign trade. The United States, it is urged, could afford to undertake a gigantic finan cial operation, being able to iced it, and has now a wonderful oppor tunity to settlo the silver question permanently. justness far is. n.
