SILVER GOES DOWN
Sells in Now York for 00
Cents an Ounce.
ENGLISH THE LANGUAGE TO BE USED
Greece Will Neither Vay Indemnity,
Nor Ari-iw to Anv Change
of tint Frontier.
Ccw Yoiik, Mny 22 The Journal
this morning says :
Silver bullion has juat sold at 00 cents
per ounce, the lowest point it litis ever
touched, except for a short period in
1594, when it sold ut 5S cents per ounce.
The steady decline in silver Is attrib
uted toeonditionsjabroad. Paris has been
fairly flooded with South American dol
lars which have been sold on this side
as low us two francs 22 centimes for the
dollar. The price of silver in the Indian
basciars has fallen to 76 rupees, the low
est price on record. The exchange be
tween London and Shanghai has also
fallen to almost the lowest, and even at
the low rate, China does not absorb a
large quantity of silver.
Dating from the declaration by Japan
of its intention to abandon the use of
silver as its standard coinage and go up
on a gold basis, the price of . the while
metal has been steadilv declining.
A I'Al'AI. ISUiaNO.
Purpose lf to Make Kngllfth the Lun
g ii uso f the American Church.
Cnic.Uio, May 22. Information was
obtained today that Home has just
transmitted to the Catholic church in
the United States the most magnificent
ruling of recent years bearing on eccle
siastical matters in America. The de
cision, which has reference to parishes
made up of foreigners, is literally as fol
lows :
"Children born in America of foreign
born parents, whose native tongue is not
the English, are not obliged, when of
age, to become members ol the parish
to which their parents belong; but they
have the right to join a parish in which
the language of the country that is,
English is used. Catholics not born in
America, but knowing the English lan
guage, have the right to become mem
bers of the parish in which English is
in use, and they cannot be compelled to
submit themselves to the jurisdiction of
the rector of a church built for people
who continue to speak the lauguage of a
foreign country."
The evident purpose of Eouie is to
make Enclish the language of the Amer
ican church, and Uiub to encourage the
development of a spirit of moro perfect
union among the members of the Cath
olic faith. Parishes in which a foreign
language is used aro tolerated as tempo
rary institutions, which will disappear
as soon as the conditions making their
erection expedient will have passed
away. The present ruling is perfectly
consistent with the enlightened policy

Too Late for the War.
Atiiuns, May 22. The arrival of vol
unteers from America yesterday excited
curiosity, but no enthusiasm. They will
join the' army of Crown Prince Constan

nnps weie 800 killed and wounded. All
I the irregulars have been disbanded.
The Westfield (Ind.) News prints the
following in regard to an old resident of

Tack Vae the Man.
Tacom.v, May 22. The .fend robber,
who was killed yesterday while holding
up the Steilacoom car, was undobtedly
Jack Case, an Oregon despeiado.
Case and Tom Poole were arrested in
that state for holding up a Southern Pn
cfic passenger train at Cow Creek can
yon, below Koseburg, in July, 1S95.
They were tried and convicted, but the
verdict was set aside, pending which
Case came to the Sound. He was re
leased on his recognizance, to appear at
the next November term of court in
Portland.
Al James, who claims to have known
Case well, says he saw him in Portland
last December, and has since seen him
on the Sound. The fact that the rob
ber's hat bears the stamp of a Roseburjr,
Or., firm, tends to confirm the belief
that the robber hailed from that section.
Turks' ltreach of the Armistice.
Athens, May 22. A telegram from
the crown prince confirms the news of
the reported advance of the Turks after
the arrangement of the armistice, and
the occupation and fortifying of strategic
points half an hour distant from Lamai,
giving a great advantage to the Turks in
the event of a renewal of hostilities.
These facts have been communicated to
the ministers of the powers, and the
government has protested against this
forward movement of the Turks.
The Neutral Zone.
ATHENSj May 22. The officers appoint
ed to fix the neutral zone on the frontier
have completed their work. It is an
nounced that both armies are to fall
back and leave a neutral zone S00 meters
in width. All of tho passes are included
in this zone, except Phourka, which the
Turks hold;
