to treasury jnuchases of silver bullion and
thsciusosof the icccnt deelnio In the mar
ket pricoot silver. Ho sajs : 'Tho ticasury

"I. That tbo laizo nuiohascs b ) the dc-

" J. That the London price Is used as a
basis of government puii'ha'O.
" 3 That , the bids of Iho government are
on the decimal svitun and tend to favorit

In regard to the first ciitMsinho sa > s :
"Tha government purchases silver as it docs
bonds , nud , indeed , any aitlolo required In
consldoiablet quantities , by nubile competi
tion , tholovvestoffeis being always accepted ,

" - ' It Is not true tint London puces aroused

itself limited in lib acceptance of London
pi Ices.
" . ) . In regard to the government quotations
being on n decimal basis , 0110 of the ciltlcs
snjs. The suspicious und slgniflcinl
fact in icgaicl to the go\ciiiiiient's
pwchuiO of late is thi-t houses

hundredth part of a cent , riiogoicnmuut's

incut to decline tbo lowci bid because of the
decimal The idea of an ) seller bav mg 'ad
vance infoiiimtlon us to the piico tlio gov-
einmont ulllpaj Is ildkulous and impossible -
blo Jftlioiocan bo any fuller method devised -
vised for purchasing silver than by public
competition it would bo dlfllcult to
conceive of such method. It ts
the method which 1ms been pursued
by the tie.isiiry under all administrations
sineo IbTb. In reg.ud to the iceent decline in
the price of silver the causes which npoiated
to produce it are nppiiient In the Hist ilaco
the possible stock of silver ine w York has
not .sensibly dee-leased , notwithstanding the
pmchnso by the government of l'JUil,4rs
ounces of Hilv or since August 13. This largo
and tindlmtnlshcd stock Is u Standing mcnaco
to the price of silver. Largo vvestein retbi-
cries , iu hopes ot reali/ing a laigo profit , held
silver for months piior to the pissago of the
now law or deposited It In XevVork foi cer-
tlllcatcs. and the icsull lias been the accumu
lation of a vlsiulo stock ol Midi magnltudo tis

Incited tround at the pleasure of the bulU
mul bcais. In my Judgment there should bo
a law enacted ngalust dealing in money
nictula on niiu 'liis , The uual demand for
sliver for o\p < irt has utmost entirely ceased.
Not only is this the case , but InrRo qunntltles
of foicien silver have been stdppcil to the
United fatntcs. 'Iho Impoitsot silver fiorn

A MINNESOTA MOIIDRIirtl'S mXITIOV.
In the supreme court yesterday a motion to
advance the case of Clifton Holdcn , petitioner
and appellant , against the stntcof Minnesota ,
icsponucnt and appellee , was granted.
Aigumants will bo heard on the tliiui Mon
day in November. This case is to test the
constitutionally of ttio so-called priv ate ex
ecution law which was pissed by the le-glsia-
turo of that state in Apiil last.
The petitioner In this paiticulir In
stance was convicted of murder , which
w.is alleged to hive been committed bofoio
the law was signed by the governor , and ho
thoieforo claims that the htvv , so far as It
applies to this case is ov ; jwst facto and
against the provisions of the llist uiticlo ot
the fedeial constitution. But the principal
point at Issue scorns to be the Icgalilv of that
si'ctiou of tlio statute which gives the gov-
einor the light to llx the day for execution
after conviction. Inasmuch as there 19 a
provision very similir to this in the How-
York state law , under which iCemmler was
executed , ilio decision iu this case will bo
awaited with great interest because of its
piobablo oltect ujiou the coining decisions

with icpird to the stones with which the

Lane said : ' 'Westbound tliiongb business Is
really all that is nffcutuKand oven this can
suffer but llttlo. " Ho also remarked tliat the
Unlon'Paotflo-NortUwostorn alliance really
conceius nobody out the two icacU in inter
est. What they do is their own busii ess.
The Union I'aeitlc people are not at all dis
turbed by the so called boveott niict they
find in the cuiscs leading to it and
in the Ill-fooling of competitors an
Inspii.uion for all the recent wild
repoits concerning the road. The
stories of accidents , Lane says , have boon
greatly exaggerated. 'Iheir sjstem is getting
nn enormous tialllo at the present time -
moro , indeed , than it can comfoi'tably handle ,
and its equipment is neccssailly getting &o-
\ereusago A few accidents have , natur
ally , occnricd under thcto ciicumatnnces , but
none of these bavo invohed any seiious
damage.
As regards the latest story from Chicxgo ,
published today , to the effect that the man
agement was woiking tacitly to wieck the

over to the Vaudorbllts , Lane sajs the yam
Is too absuiil to deny and its animus Is elcaily
