Silver the Great Issue. Speaker Crisp Expresses Him? self on Coinage. ATLANTA, April 27. - Speaker Charles F. Crisp io an interview at bis home io Americas, declared himself to? day to a staff correspondent of the Con? stitution in favor of the free coinage of silver. He believes the Democrats should nominate a Western man with a military record, arid says the party should not nominate Mr. Cleveland for a third term-that no man should have a third term. The Speaker is in fairly good health, bat his physician has ordered him to spend the summer quietly and he expects to leave shortly for Asheville. "The platform/' said Mr. Crisp ob? servantly, "should declare for the free coinage of silver direct and with a set of principles responding to the de? mands of the common people; we should select some good man from the West-some man with a military re? cord, identified with the dominant sen? timent that now controls the party, and go forth with confidence to the victory which the people give those who are brave enough to fight for it. The only fear I have, is that the people are not in favor of free silver, bat that the free silver people, who are io the ma? jority, may divide into factions, run oing two or three candidates, io which event the election would be thrown into the Hoase, which could elect a Repub? lican. "Such a contest as I have outlined would cause many people to make new party alignments. There are Demo? crats strongly wedded to the gold theory and many Republicans just as strongly wedded to free silver. Of course, these men would have to choose between their old party and their con? victions on this issue. The Demo? crats of the East want gold, the Repub? licans of the West want silver. The re-alignments will be as interesting as they will be puzzling, but to the lot? tery of politics the whole issue must be committed. "Of course," said Mr. Crisp, "there is a contingency in which the people might not be called upon to settle the question-that is, the possible action of an international conference. That would be the best and easiest method of re-establishing silver, and with less of the element of experiment in it. If such a conference should be called and it took action restoring silver so that the people would be satisfied, then we wocid have the final action for 1896. In the meantime, however, the potpie of the Uoited States will be moving along to that result in their own con? stitutional way. The people want the free coinage of silver, I am io favor of . its tree coinage, as I have always been, and the Democratic voters will declare for it next year." "There is some talk." it was sug? gested, "that you may be a candidate for the Presidency next year ?*J "I see," said Mr. Crisp, smiiiogly, "that for want of a better subject many newspapers are printing editorials on that line. Not in the lifetime of the I generation passing off the stage will a j Southern man be elected The question of residence, for a long time to come, j will be a controlling one, and no man j who was ever in the Confederate army j can aspire to that office. We should j get our next candidate from the West, j The talk of Mr. Cleveland for a third I term, under any conditions, has no j basis. The people will not make that ; break in tbe record. His views on the j financial question are cot ?hared by the j : people, and the conditions will be in j many other ways different from what they were in 1892." Personally, Mr Crisp regrets the manner tn which the silver issue is be? ing forced to the front. "This is an j off year," he said, "and it is fully six months before the campaign of 1896 can be intelligently entered upon, and if the discussion is continued, as now seems to be inevitable; it subjects as to a compaign which will cover nearly two years of political excitement. Per? sonally. I would have preferred that all discussion should have been postponed until the coming winter, wheo, under j the conditions that wiii then exist, we j could enter upon the race which will be run for the supremacy in this country. "From the time of the tariff commis? sion of 1880 down to a year ago-four? teen years-the cry for tariff reform bad its varying fortones, resulting at last in a revision, which I believe will be so acceptable to the people that there will be no general move made upon it for years to come. The dis? position of the tariff clears the way for the settlement, of the silver question. That question is now folly before us " "Will it be the oue issue before the people next year ?" "It will," said be, "and in such a way that it must bc settled directly, not by subterfuge or evasion, but open? ly, so that the people may understand it. It will not down. The fact that progress in silver rehabilitation has been slow should not be discouraging. This is a big country, from the Atlan? tic to the Pacific, with probably 70, 000,000 of the most civilized peuple in the world. The basis of all law with us is the will of the people. When after years of discussion and often contrary action, they made up their minds for tariff reform, there was no power on earth strong enough to resist it. The silver question is goiog through the same course of public discussion. It is meeting with defeats and victories just in the same ratio as characterized the tariff fight. Just as in that fight, the silver men will have their battle rojal ; theo the ?mericao people will award the victory." "How do you think the question wi be settled ?" "The majority of the American peo ! pie in both political parties are in favor ! of the restoration of the free coinage of ! silver. They are ? conservative peo ! pie, respecting ail rights and moving j slowly that they may not disturb them, j They may be repressed once in a while, j but once they take up a question, there will be no cessation until it is brought to a culmination. The American peo? ple are to-day behind the free silver movement and they will push it on to success and have silver re-established to its old equality with gold. When the people take up a question, the i party succeeds which has the foresight ?and the wisdom to constitute itself the agency thrrough which their desires can be accomplished. This great financial question, which has come to us side by side with the tariff question, will be set? tled likewir" by the Democratic party. In the next campaign the rehabilitation of silver will be the main and control? ing issue upon which the Democracy will appeal to the people. Party plat? forms should always be plaiu and direct. I do not believe in those planks which are so written as to catch voters coming and going. "Parties should be honest to the peo? ple. Whatever room existed for differ? ent constructions of the platform of 1892 should no longer exist and for this purpose that to be adopted in 1896 should be so plain that even a school boy could understand it." Speaking of Secretary Morton' slet ter, Mr. Crisp said : "Yes, I have read the letter in which Mr. Morton declares himself for the gold standard. But have you not noticed that President Cleveland bas disclaimed responsibility for the utterances of bis Secretary V Then he added : "If Secretary Morton had written a letter favoriog the free coinage of silver, Mr. Cleveland would probably have dismissed bim from his cabinet, instead of merely disclaiming his act. A Cheerful View. Taken of the Business Condi? tions by Dun & Co. NEW YORK, April 26.-R. G. Dun & Co/s Weekly Review of Trade to-mor? row will say : Neither the rise in speculative mar? kets nor the steady gain in industries has ceased, and it is wholesome that there are fewer signs of hesitation in the productive industries than in spec? ulative prices. Wages strikes grow more numerous and cause some trouble, and retail demand lags behind whole? sale sales and jobbing purchases be? hind production in some branches, but torough many conflicting reports the fact shines out that the industries are gaining, not with a rush and a whirl, but more safely It is less clear that railroads are in-' creasing their earnings, or that over? production of cotton will be cured by the advance of one and three-eighths cents in price, or that cornering short sellers of wheat will help to market the large surplus, but revival of activity ! in all directions, if possibly excessive in some, help confidence to take the I throne so long held by distrust. Re-! covery is not often mathematically equitable. When the load of depression j is lifted, and men find that better things i have come to stay, there must be macy : contradictory changes. Quite a uumber of works have advanced wages during the week, but strikes to compel an ad- j vance, possible for some, but not for j others, have grown much more numer- j ons. Some shops are closing for want j of orders, but a l?.rge-number are re- ! suming work. Prices of shoes and cot? ton goods are rising ; wool and wooleus j are lower. It would be a distinctly un natura! movement, inviting only dis- ! trust, if it were sympathetic and with ; equal steps in all branches. Cotton mills are gettiog more money j for goods and have quite generally ad- j vanced wages. Thc consumption of Northern spinners, at the maximum, ; would io eight months be 1,350,000 \ bales, but they have actually taken ; j 1,950,000 and have a profit on 600,000 \ j bales of over ?4,000,000. The con i sumption is large, and advances seem I to be warranted Iron production, stimulated because j ore, coke and oil were to be dearer, is retarded by a shrinking demand for | products, for, on the whole, new busi-j ness is said to be smaller thau in Feb- ; ruary on March. The structural demand for buildings throughout the country wss never i larger. The frenzy in oil has started a ; large demand fo>- pipe, and sheets slightly advance. Rails are stagnant j though a shade better at Chicago. ! Wire for fencing, for nails and wire j rods are so duli as to be scarcely ? quoted, and bar. though lifted a fhade, . meets no increased demand. Besemer pig is lower, and sales of Southern pig in Northern markets have been large at 25 cents advanced. Money is coming hither from the in? terior, and a larger demand for com? mercial loans appears, especially fr?un manufacturing towns in New England and from importers.

PARIS, April 28.-Reports of the devastation caused by the bursting of j the reservoir at Boosey yesterday have j been received from Epioal hourly this I afternoon. The loss of. life is far beyond the first estimates. About 130 ; deaths are now known to have been caused by the flood, and the list may grow, as in the confusion and ruin it h~.s been impossible to account for scores : of persons who are missing. The ; search for dead bodies is still in pro gress. Thirty or more of the dead were buried to-day. The villages and \ peasant farms in the path of the flood are strewn with the wrecks of buildings ' and are covered with heavy layers uf mud. More than 200 families are homeless and destitute. * M. Leygues, minister of the interior, has gone with a staff of officials to the afflicted district to distribute money among the needy. Most of the towns near Epinal have sent food and cloth iog to the destitute sufferers. A large part of the valley is little more than a morass with timbers and uprooted, trees protruding from the mud. The soldiers who are looking for bodies make only slow progress, as the working of: digging in the debris is necessarily slow. Much damage was done to the villa? ges at some distance from the daru. As j the flood swept down the valley it gath? ered an immense quantity of timbers and tree trunks which were thrown against the buildings in the lower neigh borhoods. For the same reason, the number of deaths in the lower villages was disproportionately great and more bodies were mangled than at poiots nearer the dam. Parts of tbe Bousey Tavern was j found to-day on the bank of the Moselle, eleven miles distant. The reservoir is now empty For several days it had been above the normal level. J The exact excuse of the break is not j known. Some think the defect was in j the plan of the structure, which was j verticals. Other assert that the dam, though originally strong, had been cracked for years. The truth may not be determined until the official inquiry. Fifty thousand persons visited to? day the scene of desolation in the Aviere Valley. The little Aviere brook, which ordinarily is bat five feet wide, has been converted into a lake a mile and a haif broad. Soldiers and work? ingmen from the department of roads are burying cattle and sheep as rapid? ly as possible to prevent disease. Hun dreds of carcasses were put under ground to-day. The masonry on the Bousey dam was begun in 1879 and fin? ished in 1884. It was strengthened in j 1889. The dam was 550, yards long, j 66 feet high and 66 feet thick at the : base. It was built against vertical ' rock and on sandstone. Ask That He be Unfrocked. A Powerful Protest Against Father Phelan's Slanderous Pub? lications. ASHBURY PARK, N.J., April 2$. In the Westminster Church of Ashbury Park to-night a petition was circulated among the congregation as follows: . ; O SD To His Reverence Monsignor Satolli, Romau Catholic University, Wash- j ingtoo D. C.: We, the undersigned Christian En- j deavorers of Ashbury Park, N. J., re? spectfully call your attention to the i wicked, false and slanderous state ? ments published by Father Phelan-, one of your priests in St. Louis. This base and inexcusable assault is made upon more than 3,000,000 pious, earnest, godly and irreproachable young Chris? tians io America. It is unparalleled in its baseness and enormity, and t<bould ; condign its author to everlasting in? famy and contempt. We, therefore ask * that the creature from whom ii ema? nated be degraded, unfrocked and de? posed from the high position which he ; has so relentlessly disgraced. We are encouraged to make this petition from the many protestations which you, as well as the holy see you ably repre? sent, have recently fully and earnestly made, with full confidence that you will give it immediate aod careful consider? ation. To-morrow this petitiou will be taken in band by the Epworth League and ! Christian Endeavorers for signatures in this place and Ucean Grove. When this is done, the petitiou will be for? warded to Monsignor Satolli, at Wash? ington. Prior to the circulation of this peti? tion into the church, Rev J.^P Dik? son, the pastor, preached or,' tue sub ject: "Father Phelan's-- base attack upon the young ladies, of America.'' He scored Father ^Phelan severely. Among the poioted passages were the following. "Judas Iscariot was a gentleman compared with this shameless priest 1 wuuid out be surprised if Iscariot would decline to recognize him below. "Father confessor ! God pity the poor 2?rl thar should ever be so siliy as to wbisoer her secrets in. such a swine's car. Retraction i- no remedy Swift and adequate punishment alone will reach the case and if it docs not follow, the whole Roman Church authorities will beheld responsible." . - - .?> - Typewriter supplies at H.

Whether it was prearranged or not, the arrival of a dozen bottles of ex? port beer here yesterday afternoon may start the fight on Judge Goff's restraining order. It was an innocent looking case that came in at the Union depot Friday, which has gone | through the routine of seizure. The constables who are loe. d in Colum- i bia have been eagerly waiting for ? something to pounce down upon, j Yesterday afternoon Constable A. T. Davis was at the station awaiting the arrival of the train from Augusta. One of the packages unloaded had stamped on the side, "Jeff Davis' Fine Old Rye Whiskey," and on the ; top of*the case was marked "Glass." | It was directed to D. II. Goble. Columbia, S. C. Constable Davis I thought that this was as direct an in-1 vitation to the seizure as could very well be given. He put a cou? ple of cross marks on the box, and after it had been put on the express wagon trailed it up to the office. Be? fore going to the express office it is understood he telephoned to the Gov? ernor's office and received instructions to make the seizure. At the express office, upon the ar? rival of the wagon containing the | "spotted" box, there were about a dozen people. They wanted to see j what would happen. In du3 course j of time the package was tak^n off the wagon, and Constable Davis called for a hatchet with which to open the box. It was opened and found to contain about a dozen bottles marked I "Export beer." The constable was satisfied that the labels indicated what was in the bottles, but to further j satisfy himself had one of the crowd sample one of the bottles. After this preliminary tasiting the j package was sealed and a receipt given to the Southern Express Com- ; pany for the box, which was taken in ? charge by Constable Davis. It is evident that if anyone is so disposed, that this will make a plain case, and it might be used to settle the effect of the order recently grant? ed by Judge Goff. Governor Evans yesterday said that the constables were making their seizures the same as usual. They bad during the day made seizures at Greenwood, Greenville and other points in the State. From the re? ports he received, there was no un? usual attempt bei?g made to bring liquor into the State on account of the order of J udge Goff. It has been suggested by those j who have looked into the matter that j there is no contempt of court on the j part of the constables unless they are I named iu a special order, and that a contempt cannot be made in civil cases by a general order not to do j certaiu thiugs.-Columbia State. -M I I -- Hanoed in Abbeville. Sloan Hearst Dies on the Gallows. ABBEVILLE, April 26. Sloan Hearst colored, was executed in the jail here ; this morning at ll o'clock by Sheriff. Nance. He was perfectly calm and col- j lected, and seemed to be the least ex- I cited of those who were present. A j minister of his own race attended bim j on the scaffold, and he declared to bim j that he was ready to die. The drop j was about six feel:, and his neck was; broken by the fall. Tbe doctors de- j dared that life was extinct in seven ! minute?). He did not move a muscle j after he fell. The body was allowed to hang tweoty minutes and was then ; turned over to his relatives, who car- j ried it to Troy, his former home, for burial. The crime for which Slo-uj Hearst paid the extreme penalty of the law was the brutal and willful murder, ou December o, 1894, of Lemmie Raplev. j a colored woman with whom he had had illicit relations for some years, al? though be had a wife and several chil? dren. He was tried at the Jauuary term of court before Judge Buchanan, j Col. W. C. McGowan was appointed by j the court to defend h.m, and he did everything io bis power for him, but, the case was too plain, and the jury returned with a verdict of guilty in ai very short time after they left the | court room. He was sentenced to be j hanged on the 15th day of March. On j a petition for executive clemency being ? filed, the Governor granted him a re? sole till the 12th day of April, in order that he might have time tr? look into the matter. Shortly before the time for the execution came, the Governor an? nounced that he refused to commute the sentence, but he granted a further respite until to-day, on account of the illness of Mr. James H. Nance, the | son of thc sheriff, who died on the night (if the 1 Uh of April. The Sheriff did everything in his power to make the life o? the doomed mau a> comfortable as possible, ano the arrangements for the execution were perfect. i 1 : :?r>t die 1 game, au<l made no j statement on the scaffold as to the murder.

The Appropriate Remarks of the Minister to President Diaz, i WASHINGTON, April 26 -The State Departtneot has made public the re? marks exchanged between Minister Ransom and President Diaz when the former presented his credentials re? cently. Mr. Ransom was fresh from the atmosphere of the State Depart? ment, and apparently thoroughly im? bued with the policy of this govern? ment toward other republics. Among other things, t:he minister de? clared that "the relations existing be? tween the two great republics, divided ; by a conventional line extending across the continent from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, must ever be a subject of serious interest to every patriotic citizen of both countries. No thoughtful observer can cross the boun? dary and not realize that every con? sideration of interest, every obligation of duty and every sentiment of patriot? ism enjoin peace and amity as the policy-I had almost said as the law between them. "The United States and Mexico re? cognize that justice between nations, as individuals is the mother of peace and the first law of human happiness.. "They regard national justice as na? tional honor-the greater the power of the nation, the greater its sense of jus? tice. They both know that national discords have been the most fruitful | sources of the public calamity and that national friendships have been almost universally productive of public and personal welfare. . "To-day, peace is the interest and : duty of ali nations, but to Uoited i States aod to Mexico-bound in terri- ? tory together by the indissoluble laws j of nature and united by the ties of com- ! merce, by the sympathies of popular j government and by tbe time honored experiences of respect-amity and har- i mony promise the most substantial [ beneficence." After paying this tribute to Mexico's j improving commercial condition and re? ferring to Minister Gray's death, Mr. j Ransom delivered his credentials, j President Diaz replied with reciprocal declarations of amity and admiration. Can Jurors Take Notes. A New Question Sprung in a Flor? ida Circuit Court. JACKSONTILLE, April 29.-The ques? tion of whether a juror in a criminal casa may take down in writing notes of the testimony of witnesses, bas been raised in the crimiaal court here by some of the lawyers, lt is contended by them that the jurors must listen to the evidence and only take mental notes j and that if a juror takes down notes on 1 the testimony in writing and uses his j notes in the jury room, that his action ; is sufficient grounds for setting aside the verdict. Judge Phillips has not rendered any decision on the question. If the court sustains the opinion of these who be- j lieve the verdict should be set aside on the grounds stated, a number of cases tried last week will be effected, as , one of the jurors took down notes of' the testimony on every case in which ; be served.
