As Mr. and Mrs. Peter Boilot.au aged
'Vashinotox, June 29. 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."

Stopped the Coinage of SlUcr.
Loxnos. 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."
Gillispic has attracted ffittcM atten
tion. He is 33 years old, but nas aiu
tile iournoy cU and when he dis
influntyd today he appeared fresh. A
boy wlio joined" GHlispie in Iowa said
that if Gillispie tiad taken care of him
self and his horses he w'duld have com
plcted the journey yesterdaj-. I the
first part of the race he staked Ills
horses out and slept outdoors. In an
Iowa town he stopped to see a circus,
and amused the spectators by ridulg a
trick mule. He has never worn a coat
since he started Ilia sou was entered
for the race, but the old man told him
to go back and tend the farm, as he in
tended td take this opportunity of a
lifetime to have Soffle fun.

On the World's Fair Ground.
Chicago, June 27. 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? Well I should say I was. I
did not feel ran -h like sitting down but
I am s-o sleepy I can't talk. I have had
no sleep in t-'n days to amount to any

except, being sleepy."
Berry here broke off the conversation
to ask Major Bui keif he found any
spur marks on his horse and then said:
'Some of the riders say I rode in a
wagon but they are liars. I have rid

Poison, all the way. By the way, this

Although Berry, who is an engineer

this prize, Colonel Cody wiil distribute

riders themselves.
The race w as started at Chadron June
13 at 5:00 o'clock, thus making the time
of the race for the leaders a few hours
less than fourteen days. The distance
is comnuted to be 91U miles, but the
riders claim that they rode farther by
reason of losing their way. Those who
stilted in the race and their horses
were:

There waSs touch talk in Wall Street
as to the reatouB which prevented
the .President calling Congress
together immediately. One of the re
ports was to the effect that the Presi
dent, in conversat'on with a leading
member of the House, hsd said that
while there was ro reasonable doubt
about there being a majority in the
House favorable to the repeal of the
Sherman law. it wa3 by no meafls cer
tain that a like result would ioiiow in
the Senate, and that th's uncertainty
of the Senate was the principal factor
against the i ailing of an extra session
earlier thari September.
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. It was believed,
however, that enough fYnatora (eleven
at least) Would be converted before
September to enab e a repeal measure
to be passed in the upper- house.

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.
