BEIGNOEAQE TO BE COINED
An Interview with a-High Treasury 0(11
clul Discloses Hume Pacts IuSport
ant to Business Men.
Associated Press.
Washington, Nov. 4. In reply to in
quirles, It 19 stated at the treasury de
partment that the actual resumption of
the coinage of sliver dollars Is not as
et ordered, hut the mints have been
directed to manufacture ingots and
blanks so as to be prepared to resume
coinages on short notice in case it should
he decided to do so. ."The mints of
New Orleans and San Francisco can,
If worked to the full extent of the ea
parity of the force now at those, places,
ccln about 2,000,000 silver dollars a
month," said an official of the treasury
department today. "There will not be
nny coinage of silver dollars at the
Philadelphia mint for some time to
come," he continued, "as all efforts of
the force now there are concentrated
In turning out gold coins. The seignor
age of silver will approximate $750,000
per month, the department having paid
for silver purchased under the Sherman
act at the average rate of t2'j cents
per ounce."
In view of the expected coinage of
silver dollars . the question was asked
whether the .treasury department can
Issue treasury notes against the selgn
orage, which, -if the whole amount of
bullion were coined, would amount to
about fifty million dollars.
The official of the department to
whom the question was put, replied
that such notes could not be issued
against the seignorage, and in Bupport
of his assertion quoted' the following
clause from the Sherman law:
"But no greater or lesser amount of
such (treasury) notes shall be outstanding-
at any time than the cost of the
silver bullion and standard dollars
coined lharefrom, than held in the
treasury on the . purchase of Buch
note3."
lie said, however, that the seignorage
could be deposited in the treasury and
tllver certificates could bo issued
against them, which would bring about
the same result as the issuance of
treasury notes, so far as Increasing
the circulating medium was concerned,
But they will be redeemable only in
silver, and not in gold and silver, as
treasury notes are.
A DISGRACEFUL SCENE.
The Chicago Council Chamber Turned
into a Bear Garden.
Chicago, Nov. 4. A disgraceful riot
occurred in the city council chamber
today when the aldermen met to elect
a successor to the late Mayor Harri
son. The rivalry for the chairmanship
of the meeting was so intense that
there were a number of fist fights In
the chamber almopt .as soon as the
session opened. Quiet was finally re
stored and Alderman McGillen, a dem
ocrat, was chosen chairman. A rese
ll Hon was passed for holding a special
election on the third 'Tuesday of this
month for mayor. Pending that elec
tion it was necessary to elect a majTir
pro tern., and this precipitated another
scene of disorder, in which the police
were called In to preserve order. Swift
was finally nominated for mayor by
the republicans, and McGillan was
nominated by the democrats. The vote
resulted in 34 for Swift and 33 for
McGlllen, and one blank. The chair
called no election. .The republicans pro
tested, and left the chamber, but the
democrats, fearing a trick, remained
in the chamber. At the end of an
hour the' republicans returned and the
session was regularly adjourned. Coun
sel was called in, but was unable to
decide whether or not Swift was elect
ed. DYNAMITE DID IT.
Hundreds of People Perish in the
Cruel Flames.
Madrid, Nov. 4. From Santander, the
capital of a province of that name,
comes a frightful story of explosion,
fire, havoc, and death. The British
steamer Volo, with a cargo of dyn
amite, had put in at Santander. Last
evening the vessel took fire, threaten
ing the shipping docks and adjacent
houses. The governor of the province,
chief of the municipal officers, and ma
ny leading citizens were engaged in
the work of subduing the flames, when
they reached the terrible cargo, and
with a deafening roar It exploded, scat
tering death, fire, fire and destructon
on every side. The wharves, shipping,
and neighboring houses were torn to
fragments. The fire at once broke out
in the ruins of the shattered build
ings and spread to those still standing
with great rapidity, and as the dispatch
was sent, it threatened destruction to
the tntirs city. All sorts of reports are
currentjas to the loss of life, ranging
frcm hindreds down to fifty. Among
the prdmlnent people missing is the
govern- of the province. The others
supposed to be dead include several
representatives of the municipal and
provincial government.
Private telegrams say that over a
thousand people met death by fire and
explosion at Santander. In addition, a
transatlantic steamer was burned and
forty of her crew perished.
It Is reported that the whole city is
likely, to be destroyed and the popula
tion of 80,000 rendered homeless.
TO KILL CLEVELAND.
A MInr is Prowling Round the White
House with that Object.
Washington, Nov. 4. A number of
officers in citizens' dress have been de
tailed to guard the White House and
protect the life of President Cleveland
which is supposed to be In danger from
a murderous crank who is at large in
this olty. Last Wednesday there ar
rived' in Washington a man who keeps
a restaurant In Boise City, Idaho. The
ii an's name the police for the present
refuse to divulge. Yesterday he went
to the chief of police and told his story.
He said abo-it a week ago a miner who
was out of employment came to his
restaurant and In the course of a heat
ed discussion about the sliver question
and the. effects of the repeal bill on the
mining-Interests of the west, he de
clared vlth emphasis that fie was go
ing to Washington and if the Repeal
bill pansed unconditionally he would
kill the man whom he knew should be
held responsible. The restaurant keep
er did notk now the man, but as he
disappeared ' from Boise, he concluded
It was jhls duty to come here and no
tify tty authorities. He arrived on
Wednesday, and that afternoon strolled
up to the White House promonade, and
the first person he saw was the miner
with whom he had had an altercation.
As soon as the man saw him he took
to his heels. The restaurant keeper
thought possibly It was a case of mis
taken Identity, and he said nothing to
anybody until the next day when he
again went to the White House and
saw Uio same man lurking there. Then
he knew there was no mistake. He
went to the chief of police and told
his story, giving a full description of
the man. As a precautionary measure,
a number of officers were detailed to
guard the White House, and detectives
are looking for the man who avows
himself an intended assassin.
THE NEW LAW.
No More Chinese Will Be Deported,
for Six Months.
Washington, Nov. 4. Attorney Gen
eral Olney today' sent the following
order to United States Attorney Den
nis, at Los Angeles, California, regard
ing the deportation of Chinese:
"Excepting the Chinese felons here
tofore convicted, the act passed by
congress discontinues all pending pro
ceedings taken under the fifth section
of the Geary act, as originally enacted.
The Chinese felons heretofore convict
ed and now subject to deportation un
der the said act as amended by the act
Just passed upon any appropriate pro
ceedings now pending or to be here
after instituted. Yourself and the maa
shal should immediately act under the
law In both classes of cases thereby
covered."
A similar order was also sent to the
district attorney for the northern dis
trict of California. The state depart
ment has, It Is said, received assurances
from the Chinese minister that he will
induce his countrymen now In the
United States to comply with the Geary
act as amended, and It Is believed that
the law will receive the moral support
of the Six Companies.
' STANFORDS ARB WINNERS.
San Francisco, Nov. 4. The Stanford
University football team played its first
game of the season today against a
ttam from the Olympic-Athletic club.
Stanford won by a score of forty to
nothing. The Olympics put up a good
game, but could do nothing with the
college boys, who were their superiors
at every point. While playing a quick,
snappy game, similar to last year's
style, the Stanford men are heavier
this year, and will be able to play more
of a rushing game. Intense Interest is
already manifested In the big game
between Stanford and the University
of California, which occurs on Thanks
giving day. Last year the teams play
ed a tie game, and the question of
superiority is yet to be settled. The
Stanfords play the Multnomah Ama
teur club, ot Portland, on New Years'
day.
FOUR NEGROES LYNCHED-.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 4 Informa
tion has been received from Lynch
burg, Moore county, that four negroes
were lynched last night In the Brock-
ville turnpike. It Is supposed they
were 'ynched for barn burning.
BAGGED BOMB SMALL GAME.
Washington. Nov. 4. President Cleve
land and party returned this evening
from a day's hunting trip, having had
fair luck and having bagged several
JkUlrieU.
T DECL
Mr Final Howl of Woe, Misery
Defeat.
TAKE THEIfi DEFEAT BADLY
And Want the People to "Itlae in Their
Might" and Place In Power a
Lot of Crank.
Associated Press.
Washington, Nov. 4. The populist
members of congress today Issued an
address appealing to the people to tawe
up the silver cause. It Is significant
that the name of Senator Jones, of Ne
vada, appears among the signers of
the document. The address calls atten
t'on to the fact that the arts require
nlmost the total gold production, and
fiayB that the decrease In the volume of
this metal caused by the hoarding of
It, has caused It to appreciate forty or
t'fty per cenK The address continues:
"The repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act destroys silver ns
money of ultimate redemption, and re
duces that metRl to a credit money to
float only by ita redemption In gold
One billion, one hundred million dollars
of paper and which' Is silver now in
circulation, must rest upon less than
$100,000,000 of gold In the treasury as
available for redemption. The only
reason for demonetizing sliver was to
enhance the value of gold and obliga
tions payable in money." The address
asserts that the Sherman- act interfered
with the establishment of a gold stand
ard, and the New York and London
bankers and the present administration
in the United States, and the Glad
stone administration in England, have
conspired to force its repeal. The doc
ument ends with an appeal to the peo
ple to study the question, and Bays:
"Trust no man who has once betrayed
you. Put no fulth In any president
who has assumed dictatorial power.
Do not b-j overawed or Intimidated by
Wall street and the power of the na
tional bunks. When (lie people rise In
their might lntiisue, cunning, usurpa
tion, bribery, and corruption will van
ish before them." The puper Is signed
by Senators Peffer, Jones, Stewart,
Kyle, and Aljen, und Representatives
Davis, Baker, Boon, Bell,' Harris, Hud-
aon, Simpson, Pence, Kenit and Mi
Kclgflan. General A. J. Warner, president of
the American Bimetallic League, also
IssueB an address which closes as fol
lows: "The remedy must be sought at
the ballot box. Retire, every represent
ative who has been unfaithful to his
trust, and elect only true und tried
men to represent your Interests In the
great struggle now before up."
