Vive Pr(-.id?n COLORADO Ml IES CLOSE DOi SmeltiDE and Mining Men Unanimons in Their Decision. GLOOMY PEEDIOriONS MADE TliniiKhiiila f Workmen Will lln Thrown Out of Employment-HrKiiluil . In Favor of Silver. Associated Press. Denver, Colo., A largo number of rep resentative smelting and mining men of the state met this afternoon, and unanimously decided to completely close down all smelters, mills and sll ver mines in Colorado. Resolutions were adopted which de clare that the world cannot transact business without silver money; that 'the inevitable course ot events will quick ly demonstrate that the enormous sums of money Invested In railroads, loans and other property will so depreciate In value that mono-metalllsts will also ls convinced that some action must be taken with silver to restore it to its legitimate use, which it has held from time Immemorial. This action will throw many thousands of persons out of employment. , A new and vigorous move was made by the smelter men who met here this afternoon. Tonight ex-Governor Grant of Omaha who was chairman of today's meeting, gave out the following for publication, In accordance with res olutions passed by the miners' and smelters' meeting this afternoon. "The Missouri valley, representing almost 90 per cent of the smelting business of the United States, has decided to cease purchasing silver ores, and go out of business. They, have approxi mately but 5,000,000 ounces of silver in stock. With this limited supply the government cannot purchase the amount made obligatory by the Sher man bill during the next two months. PREPARING TO CLOSE. Denver, Col., June 29. That the Oma ha & Grant, Globe & Boston and Col orado Smelters here, together wltlv a dozen big silver and lead smelters throughout the state, will close down at once has been reported in the East. These works have contracts on hand which will keep them in operation un til January 1, no matter what price sil ver may be. ' PRACTICALLY SUSPENDED. Spokane, Wash., June 29. Mining 4n the Coeur d'Alenes Is practically sus pended. Only the Poorman and Tiger, of the big producers, are yet in opera tion. It Is not- the prospect of making money that keeps these two properties In operation, but the pumps must be kept going or the mines will fill with water. - SHUTTING DOWN IN COLORADO. Aspen, Col., June 29. Most of the mines of this canjp are practically closed. Only a few pump-men and en gineers are .working. The mines will ;.ly clr3e today. SMELTING WORKS CLOSES. St. Louis, Mo., June 29. The St. Louis Smelting and Refining Company, one of the largest In the country, has de cided to shut down owing to the sliver trouble. LONDON STOCKS UNSETTLED. London, June 29. A very unsettled feeling prevailed at the close of the stock exchange. Silver securities are seriously depressed and American rail road securities are very flat. MR HARRISON INTERVIEWED. New Yorld, June 2J. Ex-President Harrison Is In. this city, and when asked how he accounted for the shrink age in silver since the passage of the Sherman law, Bald he preferred not to discuss that subject, "but everybody knows," he said, "that the Sherman law was only an expedient that was passed In preference to something worse." The ex-president thought a great deal more blame was laid at the door of the Sherman law than It de served, but that Us repeal might tend to restore the public confidence If only by working upon the Imagination. WHEAT MARKET 'SUFFERING. Chicago, June 29. A slump of over tw cents In the price of wheat oc curred In the first hour's trading this morning on account of the monetary' stringency. In addition to this came a cable statement that five districts of India will raise 56,000,000 bushels more wheat than was raised by them last year. Other cables also caused a feel ing. July sold down to 62 5-8 cents, the lowest price known In this market PREDICTS A REACTION. , Helena, June 29. Ex-Governor Hauser says: "The present situation will cause a reaction In favof of sliver. rrAr.s tt duces the production of gold from 25 to 40 per cent. The result wlU be that money will become scarcer. Gold will go to a premium, and this scarcity will compel an Increased use of sliver." Hauser thinks the next congress will repeal the Sherman law, and pass a law for the coinage of three or .four million of sliver per month on Increased ratios, SENATOR JONES' VIEW. . New York, June 92 Senator Jones of Nevada this evening said: "I doubt very much If the Sherman act can be repealed at an extra session. It cer tainly cannot be wiped out unless a substitute satisfactory to the advocates of free coinage Is provided. Should congress succeed in effecting'' the re peal without granting such substitute, a silver party will be formed and it will wield such an Influence that to Ignore It would be fatal to any man who desires political preference. TELLER ON INDIA'S ACTION. St. Louis., June 29. Senator Henry M. Teller this morning said: "The action of the government of India ought not ta have depressed silver to the extent It seems bo have done, and I think the fall In silver resulted large ly from misapprehension. I do not con skier the action of the Indian govern- ment as alarming as alarmist people seem to think, nor do I believe It will aid In the repeal of the Sherman bill." s FURTHER DECLINE IN SILVER. . Washington, June 29. Secretary Car lisle has received a cablegram stating that the price of silver today In London was 68 1-2 cents per onuce, at which rate the silver dollar as bullion Is worth 63 cents. THE SEALING FLEETS. San Francisco, June 29. Reports from the sealing fleet in Bering Sea and off the coast of Japan show that all the vessels have been very successful so far. Up to June 13th, the catch of twenty-nine vessels In the Bering Sea fleet was 22,496 skins, and that of fif teen vessels of the Japan fleet 16,380 stuns, or a total or 3s,siti skins, wnicn, at the market value of $14 per skin, represents the sum of $544,264. As only forty-four out of one hundredand odd vessels In the fleet have been spoken. it Is safe to say that the above val uation can be Increased by $1,000,000. The Bering Sea fleet has been very lucky, the only mishap being to the Henry Dennis, which lost two. boats and four native hunters. Of the Japan fleet the schooner Alton lost one boat containing a hunter and two sailors. ACCIDENT AT PQRT ANGELES. Port Angeles, Wash., June 29.

TO STOP THK K'lMX . JV.NI0 New York Eni-lmngo In Plitladelpli la Quot ed at One l er Cent I nitble to K nit Itttlnncea. Associated Press. New York,, June 29. This morning the clearing house committee virtually formed a syndicate by agreeing to take out a lot of clearing loan certificates for the purpose of putting a stop to the high rates for money and the panic that virtually existed 1 in the money market. Some of the banks, the Gal latin and Fourth National, for instance, have never taken out loan certificates, before and had no need to do so except for the moral effect. By taking out certificates it enables them to lend large sums of money without Interchange cash In their vaults. As a result of the com mlttee's deliberations an Usue of $9, 000,000 in certificates was authorized, and all members of the loan- commit tee availed themselves of the opportu nity in proportion to their capital, ex cept the Chemical and Importers and Traders banks. It is thought they will take out certificates later. The con dition of affairs In Philadelphia bank ing circles Is becoming more marked According to advices received from Philadelphia this morning New York exchange In that city is at half a cent on the dollar. Several large banks in this city have large balances owing to them In Philadelphia banks, which the latter ore unable to remit on account of the inability to procure New York exchange currency. Unless the Phila delphia banks remit this week It is probable, according to some New York bankers, that a discount will be charged on all Philadelphia exchange1 received from dealers here. HIGH FIGURES FOR CALL LOANS New York, June 29. The rates for call loans today reached the highest figures since the present stringency set in. They rose to 3 1-6 per diem, and in terest, equal to about 74 1-2 per cent per annum. The pinch was particularly severe this nnJi-nlng. The clearing house banks Issued $6,300,000 certifi cates, the largest amount for any day thus far. This relieved the market, and was a drop In the rate to 6 per cent per annum aid- a rally to 20 per cent. The drop In sliver in London demoralized the mnrket hnfe. Up to 2 o'clock not a stle was repo.-.td In the mining department of the stock exchange. At the consolidated ex change trading In mining stocks was light. . BOSTON HOUSES PRESSED. Boston, June 29. The strain on the financial situation today was severer than ever. Stocks were demoralized at the start. Liquidation was extremely heavy under pressure.

POPULIST PARTY DYING, Washington, June 29. Secretary of the Navy Herbert, who is thoroughly familiar with the populist movement in the South, said today that he thought the populists were not now making any progress In the country, and that the teachings of those engaged in the agi tation has no influence In shaping the policy of the democratic party. Speak ing of silver, the secretary said: "1 think the stoppage of the free. coinage of silver In India Is the greatest blow ever given the Sherman law, and the free coinage of silver. Free coinage of sil ver in India has been pointed to as an object lesson by the advocates of free coinage In this country." IMPORTANT TENSION DECISION. Washington, June 29. Assistant Sec retary Reynolds of the Interior deport ment has made, a pension decision, which will be welcome news to the laree number of women who ministered to wounded soldiers In the hospitals during the late war.
