It was much commented on in banking circles, causing much uneasiness among exporters and merchants of this country doing business with China and other points in the far East. To the bankers, however, the most significant news of the day were the cable advices to the effect that the Siamese government had instructed the mint to cease immediately the free coinage of silver. Coincident also with this devel opment was the decline today of silver at Bombay to a level several points below London. An interes ting feature in the drop in silver was the advantage reaped by laun drymen and small merchants of the Mott street district through be ing able to purchase silver bills at so low a rate. Tbey flocked down town today, cash in hand, sending heavy remittance to friends at home, Most of them were surprised at the large sums ailowed for the amount turned in. San Francisco, Nov. 26!

The chamber was arranged as on Uhe night of the fatality, and the same weapon was placed in Ryde wski hand to act out his version. As far as known, the prisoner went through the ordeal without waver ing from his first story of the ac cidental fall of the revolver, De Rydzewki renacted the final spene, giving complete details as to the position of Mrs Gore and him self. He said that he was lying on the bed fully dressed, while Mrs Gore was sitting on the foot of the : j .. t i n j 1 j thrown backward on the feather quilt, which had been rolled to form a cushion. Wishing to take something from the night table he said, he knocked off the revolver which went off and struck Mrs Gore in the face. As the bullet was found buried in the hair of the victim, it is im possible to verify the direction taken by the missile otherwise than by the wound. As a result of to day's examination, the examing magistrate, has decided to set De Rydzewki at liberty provisionally. ' Before the party left the house M Bertillion, the criminologist, who is also investigating the case, on behalf of the police, took several photographs of the room after ask ing De Rydzewki to place every thing in exactly the same position it occupied at the moment ef the tragedy. It is reported that he did this, Rydezwki evinced much emotion. He afterward left in a cab, conducted by two "policemen, who escorted him to the prison, where the necessary formalities attending his discharge from cus tody were completed. At tne time tne case nas as sumed an international aspect. ct ing on instructions from the United States department thoroughly to investigate the shooting, Wednes day of Mrs Gore, Consul-General Gowdy today requested four repre sentative American physicians living in Paris, to form a commis sion, conduct an independent au topey and report on the circum stances and probabilities of how she met her death. Portland, Nov. 25. State Veter narian William Mc Lean last week condemned 65 cows owned by John l nomas at .b air view, about 15 miles east of Portland. Four of the ani mals were killed and the others will be similarly disposed of. Dr McLean condemned them of tuber culosis, His examinations were aided by F G Cutlip, Deputy Dairy and Food Commissioner. The herd contained 120 animals two of them bulls. The latter had the disease in its most advanced form and are believed to have trans mitted it to the other animals. Dr McLean says the conditions discovered in the Fairview herd are not unusual and that there is no cause for a Bcare. Whether other herds in the vicinity have the dis ease cannot be determined without futher tests, and as there is no money for this, examinations will not go much further. Dr McLean said that he would inspect two two or three more herds in that vicin ity. ; There's nothing sensational about this," he said. "The news paper which claim to have unear thed these facts did not need to put a scare head over them. There's no scare at all. The same condi tions exist all over Oregon and have done so for years. Its the same with human turberculosis. If we should discover one family which -had two or three cases of the disease -would the community get scared? Fourteen per cent of human deaths are in one way or another, remotely or directly due to turberculosis.1 Washington, Nov. 25. Secretary Hay, while presenting the subject of the canal' negotiations at tha Cabinet meeting today, was not able to report that any progress had been made during the past week. In fact, it appears that the negotiat ions have come to a dead stop, and while no such thing as an ultima tum has passed, the precise situa tion may be described in the state ment that the Colombian Minister here, Concha, has distinctly infor med the State Department that ha . cannot, in behalf of his govern- ' ment, accept the last proposition of the United States as a basis for a canal treaty. The State Depart ment has already let it be known that it has come to the end of its concession, so the chances of a re newal of the negotiations, in tha near future are not very bright. San Francisco, Nov 25. The gun boat Ranger, which has arrived here from Panama, will go to the Mare Island navyyard, where she will remain two months undergoing re pairs. Captain Potter and the offi cers of the Ranger witnessed some of the effects of the eruption of the volcano Santa Maria while passing up the Central American coast, but at the time were not aware of tba disaster that had fallen upon Guat emala. In the Gulf of Tehuante peck the Ranger was for two or three days in a thick atmosphere of pumic stone and ashes covering the surface of the eea in all direct ions. The shore, which was many miles distant from Santa Maria, was covered with white ashes. Seattle, Nov. 25, A special totbe Pcst-Intellingencer from Dawson says thet the Yukon is wildly exci-' ted over the election of a member of Parliment, the first in the history of the country.' Ex Governor RossF'' and Joseph Clarke are the candida tes. Dawson will go for Ross heavily but Clark is strong among the mi ners along the creek, Ross is at Victoria and will not visit the Yukon, while Clarke is on the stump, holding meeting every night. The fight is a hot one and closely contested. Portland Nov. 25, "Hops are firm at 25 cents, and nothidg do ing," a dealer said to day. 1 beli eve Oregon hopmen should hold on till February or March, when I feel sure hops will go to 30 cents. There are a number of ' buyers in Portland who are trying to bear the market, but I don't, think they'll succeed, as the hop supply is short this year. Last year Great Britian produ ced 65o.ooo hundredweight of hops ; this year her product will not reach the half of that. The New York hops have nearly all been sold; the Pacific Coast is behind in its aver age crop this year. Germany has a good many hops, but there is limit even to her supply. "Last year we sent to England 46,000 bales; this year, with her shortage she will want a 'good many more. Don't mention my name but advise the producers to hold on and not to get cold feet. They will come out all right if they hold on.' Lancaster, Ky., Nov. 25.
