For years on of the Spring features of

Thia May there will be 'cone, and for

the unanimous support of the department

for several hour along the rout of th
parade leaves the remainder of the city
with insufficient protection; that busi

It was the first time a special term of
court ever had been convened In South

with rape.
A speech by the Sheriff to a mob" the
day after the crime, and the promise of

W illiam A. Pinkerton, western manager
of the Pinkerton National . Detective
agency, is in the city on his quarterly
trip of inspection. .
These trips are necessarily of a busi
ness nature, and are of ten . accompanied
with disagreeable surprise
One Of these unwelcome matters, waa
sprung on Mr. PinEerton yesterday, when
Deputy Constable Lou Wagner served
him with papers in a. civil suit for $106
with costs, Interest, etc., added. The suit
Is filed by Watson Bros., Fourth street
restaurant keepers, whit allege that for
teven months last year the plaintiff en
gaged the services of a night watchman
In the employ of Pinkerton to watch
their restaurant at the agreed , price of
tt per month and no more. This part , of
h deal was all right, but the watchr
man is alleged to have helped himself to
two substantial meals per night which
were well worth (15 per . month, or $105
for tho seven months. Hence the suit.
What answer Mr. Pinkerton will make
to the suit, if any, yet remains to be

. NEW YORK 'April 25, Silver bullion
tuched the lowest prlo on record today
whan It told at 23 f-i pence per ounce,
and at. S0H cents in New. York. . Tha
previous low price; 61 cent In New
York, wa reached September L U97,
when Japan adopted the gold standard
and silver touched 7S ptnoe.
Th oaua of ttt dclins 1 due to the
payment f the .Chinese war Indemnity.'
For th past few month the Chines
government haa been selling silver at th
rat of L800,000'taei per month in order
to obtain th gold' with which to pay
th indemnity. Thi ha been sold in
London. All of th sliver 'marketed in
this way ha been drawn from the Chi
nes provinces. Lack of commercial Mils
drawn against , th' Indebtedness which
China ha been compelled to assume Is
said by expert to tt the dlreot cause of
tlw present demoralisation in the silver
market. . S.V 1 '" ' '
The iprbces of marketing Chinese. sil
ver in large quantities will likely con
tinue, but th point will soon b reached
when the question b international ex
change will cause a cessation of the de

that the Introduction of silver currency
In the Philippines' will strengthen the
market. It Is believed that If the Philip
pine silver currency bill is passed, ther
will b a demand tor K.000,000 ounces of
sliver. This will offset the Chinese of
