T0 CONTROL ALL OUR MINES.
lhe Idea Is to Corner the Metal, Force Up
the Price and Then Dictate Terms to
England—This if Congress Does ~
Not Satisfy the Silver Men.
I’ DENVER, Aug. 21.—-A special from Aspen,
Colo., to The Republican, says that Ex—Sen-
ator L. Smith and chairman of the finance
committee of the French senate, has left
his trip here was to _look into the silver
producing regions of the United States,
and he was sent out by his government to
more particularly ascertain the extent of
the silver production. He came to Aspen
with a letter from President Hagerman of
the Mollie Gibson mine.
“It has leaked out since his departure
that the Bank of France would, if desired, .
establish a branch at Denver, that such
branch might be controlled by a directory
composed of Colorado capitalists, the bank
simply sending a manager from Paris to
represent the parent institution.
9’ Millions of Capital.
It is also asserted that the bank would
agree to furnish from $50,000,000 to $100,-
000,000 or whatever would be required to
carry all the silver produced in Colorado
and the other states for several years with-
out allowing any to be sold until the price
was fully satisfactory; that the rate of
interest would not exceed l'or 1% per cent
per annum.
Propositions could be made at once as
sOon as the course of events respecting sil-
ver were thoroughly determined in the
United States. ’ France has a deep interest
in the future of silver, and will be quite
willing to enter into an amicable arrange-
ment with the producers of Colorado
whereby both parties would receive mutual
benefits. It would not be to the interest of
France to enter into an arrangement to
depress the price of silver, but on the con-
trary to sustain it to a proper valuation.
Could Corner Silver.
There are but 20 large smelting concerns
in the country, and if a majority of those
were to go into a combination a corner on
the silver production of the country could
be had.
Of course France would not be the first
to make the proposition, but Mr. Smith“
says that if it should come from the other
side it would be accepted within less than
one week.
From the time France got the silver pro-
duction of the United States under control
she would dictate the price of the metal to
England for use in India and compel all
the silver using nations to come to her for
money.
The scheme finds much favor among
such silver producers as your represent-ea
tive has seen, and will no doubt take shape
here if congress fails to give Silver men
something better than the Sherman law.
Silver In England.
~LONDON, Aug. 21.-—Since the India coun-
cil sold drafts one-fourth of a penny below
the minimum rate of 16 pence, Indian ex«
change has declined sharp.y, yet the move—
ments of the exchanges have hardly affected
the price of silver in London.
An important fact in connection with
the silver crisis, and one which increases
the distrust of the recommendations of
the Lord Herschell committee, is that the . '
closing of the India mints to free coinage ‘
01 silver has not caused the imports of sil-
ver to cease Enor given the expected im-
petus to the imports of gold.
The mints were closed on June 26. Dur-
ing the next six weeks the silver shipments
f1om Europe to India amounted to £538, ~
200 against £948, 300 during the correspond-
ing period of 1892. This decrease in exports
to India, how cv or, was more than balanced
by the increase of silver shipments to China
and the straits. In the same six weeks of
18.93 the latter umOunted to £817,500, or '
£475,000 more than during the correspond-
ing period of 1892.
"The consumption of silver,” says The
Statist, “does not and will not abate. The
recent fall was due to the policy of the
sequence of a cessation of the demand. ”
The continuation of gold shipments to
the United States is expected to cause
shortly a rise of the Bank of England’s
rate to 5 Ior even 6 per cent. Some .08.-
nadian, as well as many United States
financial firms, are seeking to negotiate
The bankers here, how-
ever, hesitate to let their mOn‘ey go, as
they fear the extension of the present busi-
ness troubles in America. .Even Boston ‘
banks of high standing, which ofler as so-
curity bonds of the state of Massachusetts,
are treated very cautiously. '

Coming International Expositions.
People who are fond of going to intery
national exhibitions can go to, lots of
them within the next seven or eight
In about seven months from this
time, or On the lst of April, there is to.
be opened at Madrid, under the auspices
of the Spanish government, a show bears
_ ing the Official title of “The Universal
International Exposition,” the managers
of which have already given notice that
they are prepared to receive exhibits
from all countries, inéluding the United
States. It is to be held in the Palace of
Industry and its annexes and will be
' kept open for eight m'onths.
Then, three years afterward, or in 1897,
the Turkish government is to hold a
grand international exhibition in Con-
stantinople, if things can be got ready
for it. .and if the Russians do not get
down to' the Golden Horn by that time.
It is reported ' from there that Sultan
Abdul Hamid II, who is an enlightened
and progressive monarch, desires that
the world shall be made acquainted with
Turkey’s power, and that t‘ 1e Turks
shall obtain an understanding of the re-
sources of Other ‘countrics,s so that thus
benefits may accrue to his own subjects
and the rest of mankind. We must hope
that this project will not be interfered
with. The Turkish exhibition in 0011-
' stantinople will very certainly be worth
seeing, and it is but a. short trip from
. this country to the Bosporus.
After some other shows of lesser 1m-
portance we shall arrive at the universal
exposition in Paris in the year 1900, for
which the French government isalready
making preparations. That will pretty
certainly attract visitors from all parts
of the earth.
In the course of time, or let us say
very soon after the opening of the twen-
tieth century, you will perhaps see an
exhibition here in New York, compared
with which all previous exhibitions will
appear trivial—New York Sun.
A Touching Ceremony.
Our Paris correspondent reports that
a very touching ceremony took place re-
cently at Battilly on the Franco-German
frontier. A German contingent came
to reclaim a. handful of their dead of the
Prussian guard, who fell in the war of
1870. Their dead were delivered up to
them and were carried with every mark
of respect from the representatives of
both armies to a. monument on the Ger-
man side, “within which they were to find
their final rest.
The French troops formed in hollow
square, while German and French chap-
lains delivered orations on the heroism
of victors and vanquished. The troops
presented arms,- and there came a mo- '
ment of” the deepest significance when
the German soldiers stood facing the
French soldiers in the salute, and the
German and «the French generals in ad-
vance stood looking right into each oth-
er’ 8 eyes. They had not seen- each other
so close with weapons in their hands
since they parted from the death grip
which cost France her provinces. This
time Of course they met and they parted
as friends, yet not without a grim sug-
gestion of the possibility of their futule
meeting in th 0 old character.—London .

Wonder of the World.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.——The lack of- a
suitable smokeless powder ‘of, American
invention for use both in magazine small
nrms and in fieldpieces and heavy guns
has often been spoken of. It is true that
approaches have been made to the quality.
of'powder required, and some have been
.man-ufactured which are considered equal
to foreign powders, but hitherto none has
been officially adopted as a substitute for
ordinary gunpowder, either 111 the army 01
navy.
The recent tests of the LeOnard smoke-
less powder at Sandy Hook have shown
some remarkable ballistic results. 01
course in a smokeless powder there are
many elements to be considered. It must
be uniform,so that charges of the same
Weight will always produce the same re
sults in firing under the same circum-
stances. It must _not exert a dangerous
pressure on the. gun,'but have a progressive
rate of burning. so. as to avoid undul
straining. It must be stable, so as not it
detcriorate by storage or under different
- ‘ changes of temperature. ‘ ‘
E xi. inord inary Velocity.
Locking, however, simply to the results
'of firing, we find that in the new regula-
tion army flcldpicce of 3. 2 inch calibre, the
extraordinary initial velocity of 2, 430 feel
has been secure-d at Sandy HOok with a
charge of Leonard smokeless powder. Side’
by side with this record may be put that
which was achieved on Friday with the!
inch segmental wire gun, when a charge
of 20 pounds of Leonard powder gave too
62 pound projectile the enormous muzzle
velocity of 2.865 feet per second.
Most of the leading foreign countries
have their smokeless powders for maga-
zine guns and also for field artillery and
in some cases 101 heavy naval guns. In
the small arms the initial velocity sought
is usually a little more than 2,000 feet.
The velocity imparted to the Krag-Jorgen-
sen gun, with the W‘etteren powder, is in
The Aus
trian Manulicher, using the Schwab
Rubin powder,m manufactured at Bluman
has attained about 2, 034 feet of initial ve
locity with 42. 4 grains of powder and a
bullet weighing 243 gxains.
The Foreign Powders.
Similar results are shown in the'German
Mannlicher. The English cordite has been‘
used both in.small arm cartridges and in
.guns of large caliber. A pound ofcordite
will give the same initial velocity in a field
gun as nea11y four pounds 0 black pow-
der. In an Armstrong 6 inch gun an in
itial velocity of 2,657 feet per second has
been obtained, which is certainly remark
able, and serves as a good basis for ‘com-
pa1ison with the extraordinary results just
reached with the Leonard powder in the
Brown segmental gun.
The French smokeless powder in the
Lebel magazine rifle is said to give an in-
itial velocity of 2,194 feet. . The Danish
smokeless pow der used in the Krag—Jor‘
gensen has given 1, 968 feet, with a charge
of about 34 grains and a. bullet of 237. G
grains. This powder is cOmmended to:
good qualities in not overstraining oi
badly fouling the piece. The Italian balls
titc, used' in fi'eldguns, has proved service-
able. and the strain 011 the mount 18 said
to be reduced by its use.
The Swedish smokeless powder, apyrite,
has given 2,044 feet initial velocity with
the altered Remington rifle, usingIa charge
of 53.23 grains and a bullet of 223?? grains,
with a pressure per square inch of 15. 88
tons. This last, however, was considered
excessive for the gun, and the powder was
so modified as to get 2, 099 feet with 54
grains and a chamber pressure of 14.83
grains. As a charge for rapid fire guns,
apyrite has produced some good results—
1.18 pounds with a 6 pOund projectile, in a
Finspong gun, producing 2,198 feet initial
velocity, with 14.17 tons pressure.
May Astonish the World.
The very promising and in some re.
spects excellent results achieved by the
Maxim, gclbite. Houghton and other
American powders have been frequently
spoken of. The Monroe powder, made at
Newport for cxperiments’in naval guns,
has achieved a. great success. In a 4 inch
rapi fire gun a charge of 5% pounds pro-
pelled a projectile of. 38 pounds with a
velocity of 2,100 feet and a pressure of only
14 tons. I
pounds imparted a velocity of 2, 540 feet to
a 50 pound projectile, with 15.2 tons pres-
sure, this being fairly ranked among the
remarkable performances of smokeless
p011 ders. In a 6 inch gun, a charge of 21
pounds, with a 100 pound projectile and a
p1essure of 14.4 tons, achieved an initial
velocity of 2,300 feet.
In order to compare properly the Leon-
ard powders with others, it will be neces-
sary to wait for the carefully tabulated re-
sults of all the elements in the experiments
still going on, inasmuch as the pressures
must be considered as well as the initial
velocities. It will also be necessary to ob-
serve thc result of many firings on the con-
dition of the gun. The segmental wire gun
under test there is a very heavy piece, built
expressly to withstand enormous pressure,
so that it might not be a standard of what
charges and velocities could be practicable
in ordinary guns of the same caliber. It is
believed that over 3,000 feet of .initial voloc-
ity will be attained _with it. That will
arouse attention all over the world.
But the general result of the experiments
already is to give ground for the belief that
before long we shall have one if not two
or three American smokeless powders,
which will be among the best produced.
