Bf.ki.ik, Fob. 10. The pressure brought io boar upon the government, by tbo German blmctalllHts hu5W suited In squeezing from thcmlnlstera a. statement on the subect. The lw perlal chfJhpHor, Prince von Ilojen lohe'liTthe rclchstng today, made the following-fleclaratlon of the policy In this connectien: "We have gone exhaustively Into the question of raising and strength ening the value of silver with other governments, being guided by the conviction of the fluctuation and heavy fall in price of silver and economic prejudices in Germany, in spite of the fact that her monetary system rests securely on the gold standard. As tho secretary of the treasury stated in February, 1895,Ujo. first point to be considered is the In- Jury to German Bllvcr mining. -The production of German Bllvcr amounts to about 0 per cent of tho output of tho world. "The fall in price Is not of much moment In tho larger production of foreign ores, but to Germany It Im plies such a decrease in value as to en danger the home sliver Increase. Another point is its Influence on Gor man exports to sliver countries. There is no doubt that tho trade with them Is made much more dlfllcult by fluctuations and the fall in silver, although lately tho fluctuations have been comparatively small and those interested have been nblo to find means of security against losses. But the German export trade to silver countries has suffered from tho conditions of exchange. I do not underestimate tbe Importance of tho effects produced by this course, but they must not be placed too high. Our exports to silver countries amount only to 31 per cent of our total exports, and,', in spite of the setback during the months when silver fell, they, on tho whole, have made favorable pro gress. 'The ofllcial statistics-show that the depreciated currency of sliver coun tries contributes to facilitate compe tition with tho exports of theso coun tries, until the moment when a com pensating influence riBes and homo wages establish themselves, tho nal result being that tho silver coins be como degraded to tho level of paper money. This depreciation, however, does not endanger our currency, be cause our trade is abundantly sup ported by gold, and the imperial bank notes, adequately covered by the gold reserve and tho silver money, do not exceed the demand, which, even In times of crisis, is not likely to dimin ish. "On the other hand, tho danger from counterfeit coinago has been in creased by the fall in silver, although there was but ono case in 1893. Yet a fall in the price of silver will always serve as an inducement to counter felting. Therefore, although a rise In the price of silver is highly desir able from an economic standpoint, yet no doubt the goal can only be at tained by an understanding with the countries Interested in international commerce, of which there Is no pre- sunt prospect. 'The-blmetalllsta recognize In the reopening of tbe Indian mints a con dition precedent to unlimited coinage and 1 coucur, for I believe that other Thm U. S.

"A monetary canlrcnef would not bring the question tiSarcrtoa prac tical Bolutlon.nnd therefore it appears to be undesirable 'that Germany should take the lead in summoning a conference.

' Londok, Feb. 10. A dull and dreary week has been ended with a wrprlsa for the political world,' In the announcement In thc Times that Hon.

This" announcement, which Is fully authenticated, wlMi Mr. .Chamber laln'd message to Governor lloblnson of Capo Colony, almost monopolizes th attention of politicians.. Having conferred with tho director of tho cel ebrated company, Rhodes will soon re turn to Buluawayo, whoro ho will re side In a lino house ho has caused to be erected In the neighborhood of poor King Lobeugula's former capital, except during tho session of tho par liament of Capo Colony. t LATKlt.

Tho remains of Mrs. Jennie Baxter, murdered by her husband, Gcorgo Baxter, In Port land, were burled In tho City cemetery here. Tho funeral services wcro held at the Baptist church at 2 o'oclock, 1 and were conducted by tho pastor, the Rev. Carroll, who delivered a short but earnest and Impressive discourse. Tho church was packed with people. Tho prcsenco of many was due rather to morbid curiosity than to a feeling of sympathy with tho aged and grief- stricken parents of the unfortunate woman. Sympathizers were, however, not by any means lacking, many old friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson attending the services at tho church and following the remains to the cemetery. Among the relatives attending the ceremonies were the parents of the murdered woman, Mr. and Mrs. Rccso Anderson, her broth ers and sisters, and their families, and tho mother and sisters of Gcorgo Baxcor. Tho remains, after the arrival here, on tue steamer, last night, wero kept in this city over night, as it was thought bc9t not to tnko thc-bodyto the family rcsldenco as originally In tended, owing to the fact that the father, Mr. Anderson, was subject to heart trouble, and It was feared Its prcsenco might seriously excite him Gcorgo Baxter was well known hero as a sober, hard-working, inoffensive man, and tho general opinion of friends 'and acquaintances here Is that Baxter must have been tempor arily Insano at the tlmo of committing tho LCAd. imOTHKltS QUAUIIKL.
