IIDITORIAL ON SILVER.
London Aug. 13. An editorial of the
Tiiui-s this morning commenting on ex-
Soi iv-l.iry Whitney's remarks .on the sil-
ver question expresses the hope that Mr.
Whitney's aspirations for an internation-
al agreement to rehabilitate silver will
hi t. be fully fulfilled.
"Americans' previous efforts" says the
'f ines "to create an artificial demand
lor silver only stimulated its production.
The s i me result would follow however
on a larger- scale should the abortive
C'ojccL be revived. The Bland and
Sherman acts failed to do the good ex-
ii -.r.ea ot them and left a legacy ot mis-
hief which gives promise of long out-u-itirig
their repeal."
The Times tlhen proceeds with a dis-
i of the position of. the United
;l.'tv treasury and it considers the corn
'W ..ttou exports in the face of our
Imrvests will servo to prevent a re-
miv. -i.-re of the gold drain from the Unit-

of which precipitated the disaster. The ;
weu was only IS inches below the con-'
crete base on which the pillar rested. It ;
was of the old-fashioned sort six feet
deep by eight feet in diameter lined with 1
rougn stones ana mere was no water in
it. The coroner and several building ex
perts examined the well but would give
no opinions on the matter. One building
expert said however that neither the
contractor nor the officers of the business
department could have been unaware of
the fact that the well was there or of the
fact that its filling was too soft. It is re-
pored the district attorney will attend the
inquest and if any evidence of criminality
is discovered the case will be laid before
the grand jury.
Another badly mutilated and decom
posed body was taken from the ruins to-
day and was identified as Peter Marono
an Italian laborer.
But one more man known to have been
in the (building is missing and it is ex-
pected that his body will be found there.

counts of the progress of the Cuban revo

that we shall soon oblige the Spanish gov-

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
London Aug. 13. In the house of com-
mons today the speaker Mr. Gulley took
the chair nt noon in semi-official attire.
There was a poor attendance of members
present.
The gentleman usher of the black rod
appeared at the bar of the house of com-
mons comins from tho house of lords iiti
12:20 and summoned the members to
the house of lords where the royal com-
mission signified her majesty's confirma-
tion of the election of Mr. Gulley as
speaker. The latter on returning to the
house "f commons went to the robing
room; a nd (iftwwards took the chair in the
full robes of his office and formally an-
nounced that her majeslj had confirmed
his election.
The members then proceeded to take
the oath the speaker going through that
formality first of all. He iwas followed
by the Right Honorable J. T. Balfour
the Right Honorable George Goshen Hie
Right Honoraible Sir Michael Hicks-
Beach and the Right Honorable Henry

Mr. Balfour then signed the roll fol-
lowed by the others. About 400 members

iM'CARTHY R E-tDLECT ED.
London Aug. 13. At a meeting of the
Irish parliamentary iparty todav iMr.
Justin 'McCarthy M. iP. was unanimous-
ly re-elected chairman. The whips of the
party Messrs. Esmond Tenner a.nd
Tuit -were also re-elected. '
Contrary to expectations the mooting
was fairly harmonious the subject upon
which conflicts were expected 'being (post-
poned. The Times says: What really consumed
the time of the Irish meeting was a long
discussion of Arthur O'Connor's motion
in favor of the total abolition of the con-
sulate committee which for all practi-
cal purpose is purely a Dillonite body.
Mr. llealy having lately refused to act
upon it. The motion was therefore for
a vote of censure on the Dillonites and
was defeated by 34 to 25 the narrow ma-
jority showing that Mr. llealey is still
a factor to be reckoned with. It is ex
pected os a result thrtit the lloailyites
will ue auoweu to nave a voice m tno
future administration of the party. Oth-
erwise complications are certain to ensue.
TURSUING WALLER'S CASE.
Paris Aug. 13. There is absolutely
nothing in the sensational story circulated
by a New Yoo-k spa per to it lie effect that
the United States ambassador to France.
Mr. James B. Eustis 'has dropped the
case ot -Mr. John U Waller tormerly
United States consul at Tamative Island
of Madagascar who was recently sen
teneed to 20 years impnisonment by court
martial after having been convicted of
communicating illegally wiiu the llovas
On the contrary Mr. Eustis is pursuing
the matter most energetically ana is giv
ing the case his closest consideration with
the result that he hopes soon to arrive at
a satistactory result.
LEGATION IN IGNORANCE. .
Washington Aug. 13. No information
has been received at the Japanese lega
tion in confirmation or denial that a cab-
inet crisis exists in Japan though the
legation would be informed of a now
ministry. The report of a dissolution
was however a surprise to the members
of the legation and has aronsed great
interest. While accustomed to look up
on Counifs Ito and Yamagarta as nlmoMt
nermanent narts of the Japanese govern
ment they admit that there lias been
dissatisfaction expresscu among tue op-
position politicians concerning the reces-
ft

sion from the terms of the original treaty
and it is surmised that many cabinet
changes will be due to this criticism.
They think however that a change on
dependent upon popular approval ex-
cept so far as the ministers may be per-
sonally influenced by it
Furthermore they find it difficult to
realize that there should be any misun-
dorstnndiug on the question of rank.
Both Ito and Ynmaga'ta are counts. The
former holds the highest decoration in
this account is improbable as in Japan
the ministry is the creation of the emperor
and its continuance in office is in no wise
the gift of the emperor and the latter is
a marshal of the empire. It is not un-
derstood why men who have nlready
been so highly honored should make trou-
ble over the question of the confirming
of on honor which would be only a slight
advance over their present status.
.No one nt the legation will venture an
opinion as to who might succeed Ito as
prime minister in case of his permanent
retirement.
