IDEA BAGKED‘ BY FRANCE
Official Documents Relating to the
Effort to Have Great Britain Aid
the Cause of Silver Made Public—
Uhunges in India's Currency.
London, Oct. 23.—The Foreign Office
yesterday issued the full correspond—
ence, together with reports of the pro-
ceedings, in reference to the proposals
made by Senator Wolcott, of the Amer-
ican Monetary Commission,- to the
British Government.
The correspondence shows that the
United States made the following pro-
posals to Lord Salisbury on July, 27
last: The opening of the Indian mints
to.the free coinage of silver; the re-
peal of the 9rder making the sovereign
a. legal tender in India; the placing of
one-fifth of the bullion 1n the issue de-
partment of the Bank of England in
silver; the raising of the silver legal
tender from £5 to £10; the issue of
'one-pound notes based upon silver; the
retirement of" the half sovereign of gold
and the substitution of paper therefor
based upon silver; an agreement to
coin annually 3. sum—not named—in
silver, or the purchase of a sum—mot
named—in silver annually; the opening
of the English mints to the coinage of}
rupees and the British dollar, ”which
shall be a. legal tender in the Straits
settlements and other silver colonies
and in Great Britain up to the limit;
silver legal tender by the colonies and
the coinage of silver in Egypt, and
finally an agreement upon something
having the general scope of the Hue-
kisson plan. ‘ ’
France Backed \Volcott.
Conferences were held at the Foreign
Office on July 12 and 15 to discuss the
proposals with the American envoys,
the French Ambassador participating
in the discussion.
France announced her willingness to
open her mints to unlimited free coin-
age of silver at a ratio of 151/2 to 1 if
Great Britain would co-operate with
her, as in the plan stated in the fore-
going.
Senator Wolcott announced that the
United States was inclined to accept
this ratio, upon which France insisted.
. Baron de Courcell,the French Ambas-
sador, Silggested,£10,000,000 as the sum
of the British annual purchase of sil—
ver to fill the blank in the proposals,
and Senator Wolcott approved the sug-
gestion.
A Unanimous Refusal.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach announced
that the Government of Great Britain
was unanimous in its refusal to open
the English mints to the free coinage
of silver.
The question of the reopening of the
Indian mints was referred to the In-
dian Government, which on Sept. 16 re—
turned a long and elaborate argument,
culminating in a unanimous recom—
mendation to refuse to entertain the
suggestion. This reply was indorsed at
the Cabinet council held on Sept. 16.
Lord Salisbury, in reply to United
States Ambassador Hay, adds that it is
unnecessary to discuss the-remaining
proposals until he is informed whether
the views of the United States and
France are modified by the decision not
to reopen the Indian mints and wheth-
er they desire to pursue their negotia-
tions under the circumstances, and also
.whether they have gained a. more ac-
curate estimate of the amount of as-
sistance they had expected from other
powers. - .
Lord Salisbury’s_ reply does not men‘
tion a monetary conference or allude to
any other proposal.
The Standard, in an editorial article
on the Government’s attitude to the
silver question, will say to—day that
widespread satisfaction will be felt be—
cause of the deadly blow the bimetallic
craze has rcccived'and the decisiveness
with which the British Government has.
extracted itself from a conference that
would have been a mere waste of time.
The Daily News will say that the
dispatch of the Indian Government
puts an end to the bimetallic craze in
this country, and adds that the amaz-
lng thing is that the home Government
should have required so much elemen—
tary instruction from India.
FARMER BUNCOED.
Pays $3,000 for a Farm
Pretended Execu-or.
Middletown, N. Y., Oct. 23.—~A slick-
looking stranger buncoed Charles Van
Duser, a farmer liVing near this place,
of $3,000 Thursday afternoon. He 'repre-
sented himself as executor of the
Bertholf farm, near Van Duser’s. He
said he desired to sell the farm to Van
Duser, and offered to let it go for
Van
Duser accepted the proposition, and,
going to Warwick, forwarded a certi-
fied check for $3,000. -He showedthis
to the executor, who declined it, insist-
ing on having the cash. The two then
drove towards the farm, and when
nearly there they met a stranger in
another rig, who drew a revolver and,
covering both men, commanded:
“Throw up your hands.”
“Don’t shoot this old gentleman; he’s
just got in to ride with me,” said the
executor.
“Let the old man get out then,” was
the reply. '
Mr. Van Duser alighted and a box
somewhat like the one in which his
money had been placed was handed to
him. .
“That’s not my box," he said, alarm,

"Git up!” said each driver, giving his
horse a. cut with the whip, and away
they drove, leaving the old man stand-
ing in the road. They were traced to
a point near Sugar Loaf, a. few miles
from the Erie road, where the horses
were found. ‘

When the great Hume, the free-
thinker, was asked by a lady of Bath,

more, servants who conscientiously be-
lieved in the truths of eternal revela-
t1on, or those who professed to hold
his own opinions, he frankly answered
the former.
When are readers are asked whose
statements can be depended upon the
more, scores of our citizens or one or

MINEHS Ill. sum
Reported Scarcity of Food in the
Klondike Confirmed.
WHAT CAPT. HOOPL‘R SAYS
Rich Discoveries on Minook Creek
in as Much More Accessible Re-
glen—The Passes All Closed Now—
No Change in Customs Laws.
washington, Oct. 23.-Capt. Hooper,
commander of the Behring Sea patrol
fleet, who has arrived in Washington
to attend the seal conference, says that
the reports concerning the scarcity of
food in the Klondike region are not, in
his judgment, exaggerated. In the
neighborhood of Dawson City there
are, he said, about five thousand min-
ers whose supply of provisions for the
coming Winter is no greater than bare-
ly sufficed for half that number during
last W‘inter. Great suffering would ,be
the inevitable result 'of this scarcityzof
fobd. Although some of the more vig-
orous among the miners might attempt
to get away on the rise of the Yukon,
the chances were that a considerable
number of these would perish from
‘ hunger and exposure.
All Passes Closed.
All of the passes were practically
closed some weeks ago, and many hun-
dreds of miners are now camped along
the different trails with little or no
shelter and with insufficient food sup-
ply.
Late reports, Capt. Hooper said, in-
dicate that rich discoveries have been
made on Minook Creek, a tributary of
the Yukon, which empties into it about
seven hundred or eight hundred miles
from its mouth. If these new fields
proved as rich in gold as is antici-
pated he thought the congestion in the
Klondike region would be relieved. as
soon as Spring opened. Minook Creek
is comparatively within easy reach of
St. Michael’s, as steamers have little
difficulty in ascending the river to that
point when navigation above it is im-
possible on account of low water. It
was near Minook Creek that the last
Klondike steamer wascompelled to un-
load her cargo of provisions, so that
the miners in that section are in little
danger of the food famine that threat-
ens other camps.
Big Rush Expected.
Capt. Hooper expects a. great rush of
people into the gold region as soon as
Spring opens, and he has no doubt that
the tales told of the immense gold de-
posits will be fully verified.
To Believe the Miners.
Washington, Oct. 23.—Part of the big
reindeer herd which the Government
maintains in Alaska is to be used in
carrying supplies up the Yukon River,
and Secretary Alger, who has charge
of the matter, hopes to have the deer
at work this Winter. ‘
Dr. ,Jackson, who was the originator
of the scheme to establish a. herd of
reindeer for the benefit of the Alas-
kans, suggested that the animals could
be profitably used this Winter in car-
rying supplies to St. Michael’s. The
views of Dr. Jackson and others on the
subject impressed Secretary Alger, and
after a. consultation with Secretary
Bliss, in whose department the care of
the reindeer is vested, he directed Gen.
B-reck, the Adjutant-General of the
army, to issue orders for carrying out
the plan. Gen. Breck has sent this let-
ter to Lieut.-Col. George M. Randall,
commanding Fort St. Michael, the new
post on St. Michael’s Island, at the
mouth of the Yukon:
“The Secretary of War desires me to
inform you that the Secretary of the
Interior has given instructions to his
educational agent for Alaska, Dr. Shel-
don Jackson, to send the one hundred
reindeer in his charge, now within one
hundred miles from St. Michael’s, to
St. Michael’s and assemble them there.
As it-is not certain that the agent has
been able to do this, the Secretary of
War, with the concurrence of the Sec-
retary of the Interior, direct that, if
any or all of the reindeer in Alaska
(there are about one thousand) are
within your reach, and you think they
will be needed for the purpose named
below, you collect them, or as many of
them as you judge needed, at St.
Michael’s, if practicable, or where they
can subsist and will be available to
you. If you should find it necessary
and practicable to organize with them
a. means of transportation for supplies,
employing the natives, if you think ad-
visable, during the coming Winter to
relieve starving persons endeavoring to
make their way down the Yukon, the
Secretary of War directs that you do
so, even sending as-far up the valley of
that river as old Fort Yukon, to re—
lieve persons liable to die from starva-
tion.” :
This letter was sent by mail yester-
day ln the hope that the Postoffice De-
partment will be able to 'convey the
mail to St. Michael’s, though it is not
altogether certain that it can do so.
No Change in Customs Laws.
Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 23.—The report
telegraphed from Victoria that. the
Canadian Government had decided to
charge a duty on every class of goods
taken into the Klondike country, in—
cluding miners’ packs, is not correct.
There ‘has been no change in the cus—
toms laws affecting that country, and
miners are still permitted to take in an
relievmg pain in the Kidneys, Bladder outfit free of duty when not exceeding
$100 in value.

New York, Oct. 23.—Nick Engel, who
kept a saloon on West Twenty-seventh
