MEXICO CITY , Sept. 24. Ex-Inspector
General of Police Eduardo Velasquez , at the
early ago of 32 years , lies tonight a corfse ,
having taUcn bis life In Ilelcm prhou at
ibout half pest 9 o'clock , The Inspector
blow his brains out with a revolver. Ho
Was proud , exceedingly reserved , rarely being
known to smile and very ambitious , his rlso
from a humble position through various
posts to the command ot the police having
been stitllclontly lapld to attract attention
to him as a man ot great talent.
Slnco the alleged lynching plot was ex
posed and he with other police was Im
prisoned he has shown a marked change ,
being extremely reticent and evidently suf
fering from a nervous strain. Hoiib sub
jected yesterday to a long examination by
Oudge Florcn , and at the conclusion , on his
return to his room in the prison , It wa
noted ho showed great dejection and anguish
of mind Ho had always been In the l.ablt
of retiring late , and In prison kept up his
custom , retlilng about 3 o'clock , except
when his presence waa required by the
judge Last night ho- retired late , and at
11 o'clock thin morning the warden of the
prison went to cill him. The warden wen ;
to the bedside of Volnsquc ? and said in a
friendly tone , as he knew the prisoner well
"Well , my boy , It Is tlmo to get up The
Judgd wants yon " Receiving no answer , he
ibegan to shako the Inspector , saying-
"Don't bo lazy , " when he noted that Velas-
jue/ had a bullet wound In the right tem-
jile , and on Investigation found a small
two-barreled pistol , with which the act ha. !
been comuilttcd The weapon wns a small
one. The tnu/7lc of the pistol had beer
placed so close to the temple and pressed
Into the skin that It practically made no
iiolso on being discharged , hence the teason
of no report being hea-d by the guards
How the pistol reached the prisoner is under
Investigation , and a ccitaln prisoner Is sus
pected. The body lay In a perfectly natural
position , one arm thrown across the body
and the eyes wen1 closed and the fate per
fectly tranquil
AUTHOHITinS NOTIFIED.
The warden Immediately notified the Ju
dicial authorities , who went at once to the
room of the suicide and summoned medical
men. Judge Floroa leimirKcd he had given
the strictest orders to prevent / at
tempting suicide ; that ho had carefully
watched him and every precaution was taken
to keep weapons from him. At Hist the au-
rthorltlea v\ere Incline 1 to censure Colonel
CampU7O , the warden. During the afternoon
relatives of the dead nun wore allowed to
enter the prison , which had been closed to
the public. The doctor * ha\o concluded the
examination and found that death must
have been Instantaneous , the bullet boln
embedded In the brain. Judging by the tem
perature of the stomach the physlclaiu came
< o the conclusion tint the act must hi\o
been committed about halt past 9 this morn
ing. The body was drebsed and delivered to
relatives.
u\ letter was found In the room In which
Velafaquez made his statement to the pub
lic , taylng Ms death was , he felt , the satis
faction he owed to society and he should
therefore give -that satisfaction by leaving
the world. He also said that the crime vias
auggosted to him by Inspector Vllllvlcenclo ,
of the fcecond police district , who Is In
prison. Velasquez Jddcd that under nny
other clrcun-stancc' ) , not having been a high
oniclal authority , nothing could have Induced
him to take part In the cilmo. Ho felt , It
1s said , that hlc loyalty to the chief magis
trate , whom llfo had been attempted , war
ranted him In putting lAnoyo to death. In
fact , ho said this repeatedly yesterday on
being questioned It Is gone/ially felt by his
friends that Vllllvlcenclo was his evil stai ,
having from the time Velasquez became chief
had n great Intluence over him , though ho
was warned by thosn who had his welfaio. at

COLD STANDARD FOR INDIA
Lord Farrer Writes to the Times on the
Subjiot.
DISCUSSES THE QUESTION AT LENGTH
( lint OpoiliiK < lic Mint * "Will
> ot DII What IN WnnU'il mid
Iilpn In the
Other Hxtrumc. \
LONDON , Sept. 24. Lord Pnrrcr has a
three-column letter In the Times this morn
ing on bimetallism and the Indian mints.
He says : "In my opinion the ultimate solu
tion of the question will be the adoption o (
the gold standard In India. "
Lord Farrer then proceeds to discuss the .
proposals of the American commission and
the Freed ! government , of which he says :
"There has been no olllclal statement of'
Senator Wolcott's proposals , but wo may
form a shrewd guess from an article which j
appeared In the National Review for Au
gust , entitled 'Episodes of the Month , ' and
written by some one who- appears to bo In
the councils of the American negotiators
From this \\o understand that India la In
vited to open her mints at a ratio of 154
to 1. This ratio would mean that the
present gold value of silver would have to
bo Increased by 125 per cent. "
Lord Farrer sketches the position of cur
rency In the Unite 1 States and franco , from
which ho concludes there Is every reason
to believe In the present circumstances that
neither the United States nor Franco , nor
both united , could possibly by opening the
nints cientc such a demand for sllvel as
o maintain Its value at the ratio of 15 %
o 1.
The letter continues' "Experience has
shown that the opening of Indian mints would
uot create the necessary demand. Indeed ,
Circumstances would be less favorable there ,
as the opening of the French and American
nlnts would create a competition which
\ould not only prevent silver from flowing
o India , but would attract silver from
ndla , causing an export to Europe. There
a another rlbk It Is highly Improbable that
any diplomatic or legislative arrangements
could reverse the tendency of the world for
he past 200 years to make gold the stand
ard of value. The English people adopted
t In spite of the government It is much
moro likely that the American 'bankers ' and
merchants will arrange to have their deal-
ngs on a gold basis and thus evade the
aw which gi\cs slher an artificial gold
value. It is almost certain this will oc
cur In case of International dealings , and It
likely to occur In deal'ngs at home and
abroad. Supposing the proposal succeed , its
effect would be so felt In all parts of the
British empire and gold standard coun
tries that the standard of values would be
altered , enabling debtors to discharge gold
at the rate of 15 > to 1 , because any one
could take silver to the French and Ameri
can mints and get It coined into francs and
dollars , which , when a stable exchange Is
secured , would bo worth In the markets of
the world. Including London , one-fifteenth
and a halt of their weight in gold It would
enable the United States or the Trench gov
ernment , supposing them to owe debts
ibroad , to use the enormous stocks of sil
ver they possess In paying these debts , with
less than half the silver with which they could
pay them. Such a change would be good
tor neither India nor any other country
which values common honesty. Such a
change would be most injurious to Great
Britain and the British empire , and jet
; hls revolutionary change would he effected
liy the aid and full concurrence of our own
government. It Is impossible to believe
that the government will take such a step
"Enough has been said to show that the
proposal Is Impracticable and undesirable If
practicable. For the sake of India and the
empire It ought to ho rejected summarily ,
nut there Is another reason for rejecting it
summarily. We are deeply Interested In the
welfare of the United States Every m's- '
take that county makes , while It may benefit
us as a commercial rival. Injures us far moro
as friendly dealers and customers What
blio needs above all Is a restoration of a
bound Bvstom of currency and this she will
not get whllo the "Ignus fatuus" of Inter
national bimetallism distracts the attention
of her rulers The sooner we can slay that
phantom the better for all. "
The Times says editorially this morning :
"We do not suppose , In view of the em-
phatlo remonstianeo of the London bankers ,
that there will bo any desire to go further
oven In a speculative way with a policy
thoroughly discredited from the beginning
Wo must deprecate In the most emphatic
way any attempt to bring political Influence
to boar In any way on the administrative
policy of the bank. "
In concluding the Times says"It Is diffi
cult to resist the force of Lord Farrer's argu
ment. An international arrangement to ra'so
silver to the artificial value contemplated
would bo a revolutionary measure , accom
plished probably without the consent of leg
islature , which would carry with It the gieat-
cst conseauenco to Hrltish finance and com
merce. "

the attention of the government of Corca to
the fact that a great exposition Is to be held
In Omaha next year. To his letter there
came from Nan Chong Meek , Corean min
ister of foreign affairs , a reply , saying1
"I find that such an exposition Is very use
ful for stimulation of national progress , and
fully appreciating the good results to bo
obtained from a. participation therein , my
government Is very grateful for the Invita
tion of the executive chlbf , but I regret to
say that It Is nbt practicable at prcssnt for
us to delegate officials for such a purpose "
General Sill further says that the letter
addressed to the king was not properly su
perscribed , and therefore returned , and as It
Is scaled , It was Impossible for him to make
a translation of the Rime. The letter was
addressed to his majesty , LI HI , which It
appears Is not the king's name He Is of the
Yea dynasty and could bo called his Majesty
Ye , but according to Minister Sill , It Is not
proper Corean etiquette to call the king by
his name during his reign , and he Is simply
his majesty , king of Corea. The letter will
bo returned to the exposition authorities for
correction.

NEW ORLEANS , Sept. 24. Eminent decors -
ors believe that the work of the Hoard of
lealth Is productive of good results and that
lie fever Is not spreading , but Is being con
ned to localities. Thus far there have been
few less than 100 cases and fifteen deaths.
'ho death rate Is In the neighborhood ot
5 per cent. It was In 1878 16 per cent , so
liat up to the present tlmo the disease Is
bout as virulent as It was In the last great
pldcmtc New Orleans has had. One of the
cnsatlons ot the day was the announcement
hat the Hoard ot Health had decided to
rosecuto Dr. Monluzln for having failed to
eport a case of suspicious fever. <
This was the record today : Deaths Salva-
or Caslnlr , 1423 Charles street ; Frederick

t the most prominent avenues of the city.
v'o previous case has appeared on the street.
Ot the ninety-odd cases In New Orleans
rom the beginning but four have been
niong the negro population.
Major Flower today ordered a force of
lollcemen to guard the Uureaguard school ,
in which a mob made an attack to burn last
light Only a portion of the building was
itirncd and It Is still possible to use the
itructuro as a hospital for the treatment of
ellow fever patients U was shortly after
nldnlght that the mob applied the torch
nd thereby carried into execution a threat
hat had been icpcatedly made. When the
Iremcn arrived on the scene their hose was
ut , but the department worked plucklly and (
vlth the assistance of a squad of police ultl-
uatcly succeeded In extinguishing the flames.
The burning ot the school created intense
ndlgnatlon hero and the outrage was bitterly
lonounced Every newspaper In the city , in
iuglng editorials , has pledged Itself to sup-
joit the mayor In whatever action ho might
akc to punish the culprits and cairy Into
jffcct the original determination to estab-
ish a yellow fever hospital In the Uurea

The situation hcce is generally unchanged.

small balls of .camphor and asafoetlda which
may be carried about the person to act as a
constant disinfectant.

ATLANTA , Ga. , Sept. 24 Dr James F.
Alexander , president of the Board of Health ,
furnished the following statement at 1 o'clock
this afternoon :
"I paid a visit to the yellow fever patient ,
MUs Carrie F. Lemming ; at 119 Auburn
avenue. She Is doing well. There are no
unfavorable symptoms and I regard It as a
very mild case of yellow fever , and from
present Indications I do not fear serious re
sults. So far as any danger of the spread
of the disease Is concerned , there need be
no apprehension among our people , as the
conditions existing here , in my opinion , pre
clude the possibility of any danger from an
outbreak of yellow fever In Atlanta.

room can be licensed to run a game of change
was untenable. "Raid the pool rooms and
gambling houses 100 times a day , " he said ,
"until they cease. "
"We arc going to make It s-o warm or the
gamblers , " Interjected Commissioner Gieg-
ory , "that they will have to gamble In the
patrol wagons on the way to the police
stations If they must gamble "

From whatever quarter the expectant sub

the cynosure of all oycs , and now cold , bare-

powtifnl electilc lamps. As last year , the
entrances wcio two In number , that on the
smith-giving admittance to the personages ot

wtro entitled to sit adjacent to the throne

arrangements of toilet looms and the Ilko
were convenient and complete1 , the system ot

VERITAHLE FAIRYLAND.
The vast interior space of the castle ,
through the remote corners of which the
groans of past candidates , tortured In the
ordeal of knighthood , may yet bo heard by
bcnsltlvo ears , had been converted Irtto a
very fairyland by competent hands under the
direction ot Sir Knight David Christie , ably
assisted by G. A. Rcn/o. The floor plan
WOK the same with which previous corona
tion balls have famlllarl/cd the public. The
royal colors were oveiywhere , compelling the
eye In their Imperative fashion to festoon ,
streamer , mass and combination. They
caught the electric llghtw and blended to
some degree of harmony In their searculnB
rays , flooding the enormotiH hall with an Illu
mination not dimmed but softened by their
refining influence Thico gieat stais nhono
upon thu vaulted celling , an eight-pointed
figure of green In the middle1 and one of flvo
points In red und yellow at cither side. The
stars and stripes , too , weiu much In 'evi '

ter of bunting , which alto Rtreamcd off to
the pillars In fcHloens and formed a deep
frlezu louiitl about the danc-ing space. Two
enormous baskets of voidure hung from thereof
roof , holding foins and foliage plants and
Mailing vines , and biackctu BUI rounding' tha
supporting columns were loaded with potted
plants , while eliiBters of gico.ii depended
from the inches , punctuating and Hotting off
the blazing masses of color which glowed
eveiywhere about. In the center of the can-
vatcd dancing space a graceful fountain
flashed and played. . Its fomidatlotm were of
dark and refreshing giecn , and out of its
basin grow palmo and ferns In profusion.
Electricity lent Its aid to this cronnilng
