Secretary Carlislc Explains His Policy
of'.Purchasing Silver.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5‘.—Secretary Car-
lisle has sent to the speaker of the house
of representatives 9. letter explanatory of
his silver purchase policy, in response to
the recent resolution requesting him to in-
form the house why silver bullion was not
purchased in the months of July and Au.
gust, 1893, to the full amount provided in
the Sherman act. Mr. Carlisle reviews at
length the flucuations in the price of sil-
ver, and gives the purchases made by. the
government at various rates. He adds:
“In view of these facts, it seems emi»
nently proper that, as the government Of
the United States is the largest purchaser
of silver in the world, the secretary of the
treasury, after an examination Of the offers
and quotations of each day, should deter—
mine what in his judgement is a fair mar-
ket price, especially as the act of July 14,
1890, expressly provides for the purchase
of 4,500,000 ounces, or so much thereof as
may be ofiered in each month at the mar-
ket price thereof.
“It is evident that there are but two
courses open to the secretary of the treas-
ury under this statute; He must purchase
4,500,000 ounces of silver each month at
whatever price may be asked by the deal-
ers, no matter how unreasonable or extor-
tionate they may be, or he must employ ,
such means as are at his command to as- "
certain what the actual market 'price is,
and make, or offer to make, the purchase
at that rate; and it is simply because the
dealers were not willing tr? accept what
was considered a. fair market price that
4,500,000 ounces were not purchased dur-
ing the months of July and August. There
is, no valid reason why the government
should pay for silver bullion higher prices
than are paid by individuals, or why one
refiner or dealer should receive a. price for
his silver greater than that paid to another
on the same day and in the same market.”
IDEAS ON FINANCE.
Further Talk Before the House Cur-
rency Committee.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.——Representatlve
Davis of Kansas continued before the com-
mittee on banking and currency yesterday
hiscnrgument in favor of his bill to increase
the issue of greenbacks to the extent of
about $200,000,000. He asserted that the
reduction of the number of land holders in
England from 160,000 in 1819 to 30,000
in 1826, was due to the constantly falling
price due to restricted currency, and the
creased number of land holders in France
some years earlier was due to the use of
assignats. Mr. Davis advocated the issue
of greenbacks rather than that: of national
bank notes, because they are cheaper and
for the reason that all history and authori-
ties agree that the pOWer which controls
the currency of the country controls its
commerce and manufactures.
Representative Harter of Ohio addressed
the committee upon his bill providing for
an increase of national bank currency by
permitting the issue up to the par value of
bonds deposited and the issue of notes upon
other securities. He was in favor of with-
drawing“ the legal tender quality from all
currency so that it should depend upon its
merits wholly for its circulating pOWer.
Then he would have the government retire
from the business of providing currency
for the country. That was the business of
banks. ‘ '

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.—All the Chicago
roads are now suffering from a. passenger

moving, Oct. 7, 8 and 9, 250,000 people.
Everything on wheels in the shape of pas-

p BREACH OF PROMISE.
ASenator’s Widow Sues a. New Eng.
land Bank Presidenu ‘ ‘ -
Bos'rON, Oct. 5.-—The breach of promise
case of Mrs. Anna D. Van Houten vs. Asa
’P. Morse was given to the \ jury yesterday
afternoon. This interesting case has been
rendered more interesting by the action
taken by Judge Parker Of the supreme
court, before whom the case was tried, in
ordering that no newspaper reportof com-
ment on the case should be made until
the conclusion of the trial. A formal order
to that eflect was sent to the newspaper
oifices,and it has been complied with. After
the jury had retired Judge Barker. an-
nounced that the newspapers might print
the evidence. The trial has occupied seven
days.
Asa P. Morse, the defendant, is 75 years
of age. He is president of the Cambridge-
port National bank, has been for ‘many
years a member of the school board in
Cambridge, has been in bOth houses of the
Massachusetts legislature. He is reported
to be worth between $200,000 and $300,-
000. He is a widower with two daughters
living. Mrs. Anna Van Houteu is 33 years
Of age and quite attractive of form and
feature. She was divorced in 1889 from
a senator in the state of Washington. Her
husband got a divorce at the same time.
The plaintifi claimed. that the defendant,
proposed marriage and she accepted him
May 14, 1891; that he bought her a $500
engagement ring and her wedding dress;
that all relations were finally broken off
by him suddenly early in in. 1892. She
claimed that she told him truthfully that
she was a divorced woman and why.
The defence claimed that the only prom-
ise to marry, if there was a promise, was
under conditions which were never ful-
filled; that she never told the defendant
that her husband secured a divorce from
her; that she concealed important facts
about her parentage and early life.
The jury returned a verdict of $40,000
for plaintiff. Exceptions were at once
filed by defendant. _ ,
FEWER' PENSIONERS. i
. 9’1"—
An Interesting Statement Prepared at
the Pension Bureau.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.—The highwater
mark as to the number of pensioners on
the rolls and the amount of money to be
expended per year has evidently been
reached.
A statement prepared at the pension
bureau shows that on July 1, 1893, there
were 966,012 pensioners of all kinds being
borne upon the rolls. On September 1,
1893, two months afterwards, there were
only 964,398, showing a not decrease dur-
ing that time of 1,614 pensioners. This is
an average net decrease of 807 per month,
and if extended through the year would
show a not decrease of 9.684. .
This is the first time in thirtyetbree
years, since the war, that a net decrease to
the rolls has been shown. It is estimated
at the bureau that the loss to the rolls dur-
ing the present fiscal year by death, .re-
marriage, minors reaching the non-pen-
sionable age etc., will reach 50,000 as
against 35,000 last year. And it is thought
that the additions to the rolls will not reach
more than 40,000.
These figures mark an epoch in pension
matters long expected, but has required
about thirty years to reach.
THE LOST ALVO. !
Little
Doubt of Her Fate.
NEW _ Yank, Oct. 5 .——Capt. E. T. Seld-
ers, of the Atlas line steamship Alene, just
arrived, brings with him the infogmutlon
which almost certainly settles any ques-
tion as to the fate of the missing Alvo.
He says there can be no doubt whatever
that the missing steamer went down in col-
lision on August 10 or the next day, when
only three days out from New York. He
gives also a ray of hope that there may be
two or three survivors of the disaster, and
possibly quite a number, but it is a very
faint ray. \
On board the Alene is the lifeboat
marked “Alva,” which was picked up by
the steamship Jason on her voyage born
this port to Montego bay. The Jason sailed
on Sep. 14. The Alvo’s lifeboat was trans-
ferred to Captain Seiders at Kingston, J u-
maica.
THE WRIGHTLY MURDER.
Burt Has a. Long Talk with Doylee-
town Officers.
DOYLEs'rOWN, Pa, Oct. 5.—When the
constable who arrested Burt, the sus-
pected Newtown murderer, reached this
city Tuesday he took his prisoner to the
oflice of District Applebach, where a war-
rant was sworn out before a justice and at
once served. .
The prisoner expressed a desire to talk
with the district attorney, and that omcial
and the constable retired to a private ofiice
where the three men were together for an
hour or more. Neither Mr. Applebach nor
the constable will give a hint as to what '
took place there, but it is generally sup-
posed that a confession, or at least import-
ant statements were made by Burt. At
the conclusion of the conference the pris-
oner was .taken to jail.

Harrowing Details of the
Gulf Storm.
Twenty or More Boats. Missing and
Believed to Have Gone Down in the
Gale With Their Crews—Impossible
to Estimate the“ Loss of Property
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 5.-—The latest ad
vices from the section of the state devas-
tated by Sunday night’s storm indicate
that the death list will reach the appalling
total of 1,200. Train crews arriving on
the Grand Isle road report the track cov.
ered with debris in which dead bodies are
profusely intermingled, and one of the
passengers asserts that he counted no less
than 87 bodies on his journey to this
city from that part of the destroyed dis-
trict. The trains. which reached New Or-
leans brought a number of the Bayou
Cook survivors to the city, many of them
wretchedly attired and their faces bearing
the marks of fearful suffering. Tony Ne-
govitch, one of the survivors, reports that
87 bodies had been found there up to the
time he had left, and from information
volunteered by other arrivals it is estima-
ted that 300 people perished on Bayou
Cook and in that section of the country.
The deaths at other points all the way
from Bayou Cook to Grand Isle and Che-
niere will swell the total to more, than
1,200, according to the best information
now obtainable. At Grand Bayou not
less than 26 perished. It is learned that
the loss of life at Rosario and Linion isl-
ands has been great. _. No definite inform-
ation has yet been received from Grand
Isle.
From the meagre details at hand it is
highly probable that the greatest destruc-
tion of life occurred at Chencie, a settle-
ment of 8,000 people, mostly fishermen,
on the mainland west of Grand Isle. Here
the wind and waves dealt out death in an
appalling manner. Bodies and wreck-
age are strewn everywhere and the
pictures from the description from one or
two refugees are heartrending. The loss
of life is estimated at from 500 to 800.
Many Boats Lost.
The steamboats Webber and Swee-
ney‘were lost with their entire crews, and
at least a score of other boats are missing.
Such survivors of the frightful scenes Of
Sunday night as reached this city were
mostly Austrians, ignorant of the English
language, and besides that by reason of
their excitement caused by the strain on
their nervous systems, were very poor sub-
jects to give an intelligent account of what
transpired. Captain~ John Telsansos of
the lugger Stephanie, through an inter-
preter told the States a harrowing story.
He says: “I had made my lugger fast to
her usual moorings on Sunday afternoon
and had gone on shore to camp. This
was at Grand Bank, about one mile from
Grand Island. The weather had been
beautiful all of the forenoon but toward
evening it began to cloud up and I knew
that a. storm was brewing. Heavy rain
at arms setin accompanied by strong winds,
blowing from- all quarters of the compass.
I made all snug on board the lugger, as I
anticipated trouble, and then I went on
shore and waited events. Lugger men are
accustomed to bad weather, but this
storm proved to be the worst I ever was in.
The wind howled, and towards 11 o’clock
it was blowing a full gale. The shanty I
was sheltering in stood the blow fairly
well, until, I should judge, about mid-
night the end came. I thought the world
who on us. The sea came up high. It
seemed to be like a wall and then I found
myself fighting formy life in the midst Of
the ruins of my shanty, and how on earth
I escaped, I can’t say. After this it seemed
tome as if the storm had exhausted its
fury and from that on the wind continued
to abate. I got back to Socola canal in a
skit! I happened to pick up on the beach
when daylight came in.” Captain Telsan-
so: is a magnificently built man of gigan-
tic proportions, but as he spoke to the
writer tears stood in his eyes and his voice
trembled. He did not appear to be able
to give any very collected estimate Of how
many lives were probably lost, or to just
what extent the damage.had;been done.
The islands adjacent to Grand Isle were
also included in the hurricane that swept
this country last Sunday. Rosari is one
of the group, and like all of its neighbors
is settled by people, all of whom are clear
Spanards by decent. It has not more
than a score Of inhabitants, who earn
their living by fishing. This place was
entirely depopulated.
Vague Reports From Mobile.
MOBILE, Ala, Oct. 5.—Reports of dam.
age by the storm are coming slowly. Rail-
' roads, shipping and mills are the heaviest
lasers, and the amount aggregates nearly
a million. The loss of human life cannot
be estimated. On Farmers Island, oppo-
site this city, only two farm houses are
standing out of a total .Of twenty-three.
Relief expeditions to this section found a
group of little children clinging to- trees
and their parents swept away. One house
crowd the bay, a distance of 15 miles, and
landed on the tracks of the Lom'sville &
Nashville railroad. The owner with his
family'have not turned up yet. On both
sides of the bay are many villages, some
of which are totally destroyed and the in-
