A national smeltes trust is in proerst of organization. II will place all lead, silver and copper plants between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts under one management. Early in November last the representatives of the western smelters and refiners met in New York City. The conference was a success, and the first manifestation of its purpose was seen in the formation of the Colorado syndicate of smelters, chemical plants and ore buyers, with its revised schedule of charges, which are yet in full force. Then came the question on silver in ores, another result of the New York meeting. When the present Colorado syndicate merges into a trust, the difference totween spot quotations and silver in ores" figures will be done away with. Controlling all of the bar silver on sale in New York, the firm representing the trust will announce its prices each day, and the seller of ores must abide by the result, as ths figures will represent the whole business silver in ores," spot cash or anything else the trust may seem fit to term it. The trust will embrace all the smelters and refineries of Colorado, Utah and Montana, with the chiel1 office in New York and the western branch in this city. The chemical plants will not be included, while the refineries and ore sampling plauts will be treated as mere adjuncts to the Washington, Jan. 30.

In it he did not represent the 18,-Se- nator commission officially, hut said later in the session an official document would he presented. He expressed appreciation of cordial assistance extended the commission in its labors by embassadors abroad and by the administration, and charged failure to the bad faith of England. India's reply, he charged, was inspired in London. Mr. Wolcott spoke at some length upon the conditions in India, explaining the valne of the rupee since the closing of the mints to silver in 1893, The closing of the mints had created wide dissatisfaction, and there was a general impression .that the Indian government would be glad to retrace its steps. There was a general opinion, not limited to England, that thar India government would be qnick to awil Itself of an opportunity to reopen its mints, and I am sure that I violate no confidence when I say the answer ot the India government protesting against reopening the India mints was as much a surprise to the English min1 istry as it was a disappointment to ns. While the protest was made final, and while the English government in London could have overruled the objection from India, yet aneh action would have been contrary to all precedent To us, Mr. Woleott said, the India situation ia inexplicable. Millions of people, most of them extremely poor, have for years invested all their a lngs in silver. These accumulations a few years ago, were worth a thousand millions of dollars and moie. Today they are worth less than half that anm. By tha closing of the India mints and the artificial gold valne given fct silver, India is at a great disadvantage with the neighboring countries, ths exports of which are stimulated by the higher premium on gold, and they are robbing India of much of her mans factoring and export trade. The present policy inflicts nf on India as well s the evils of an ir sufficient and steadily lessening currency, evils which the vicissitudes of that dependency during the past twelve months have served to emphasize. The world has heard much of the famine in India and of the great fnads subscribed for its victims. It has not been, however, generally known that the famine was one of money rath or than food; that the contributions w.i chiefly forwarded to India in the form of money and not grain, and that during the whole period of the famine rice was abundant where men were starving, and its price was but a trifle over a cent a pound, less than the price of wheat in England. For all these evil the loss in the valne of the savings of the people, the disadvantage of a different purchasing value for silver in India from that which prevailed in China, the evils of an insufficient volume of money and the enormous Injury which commerce suffered through violent fluctuations in the rate of exchange, we offered what we believed to be a remedy. Our offer was refused, and the refusal must be considered as final until the failure of the experiment upon which the India government has entered shall be demonstrated. Philadelphia, Jan. 17. The body of Percy Lockyar, who was on ordered Friday night by 014 San,uel Henderson, has been found in the bottom of Reddiea" creek. Sixtieth and Catherine streets The body of the child, when found, was weighted by two heavy stones, one about his neck and the other around hia ankles His skull was crushed in and there was a knife thrust just above the heart, and similar wounds on hia breast, side and forehead, while on one side of his faee was a long cut extending from below the eye to the chin. Henderson claims that he made the wounds, bnt that it was accidental. Fearing vengeance he threw the body 4 in the creek. The police, however, believe that it was a planned murder in which the guilty one also purposed ending the li'e of another small boy, Willie Addi- son, aged 7 years Henderson, it is elaimed, has been reading trashy novels of the wild west stamp, and has shown a desire to emnlate the hero of these tales The police assert that Henderson accompanied Lockyar and Addison to the woods, as he told them, but instead of any sccilent happening. to either, Henderson tied both children to a tree. Addison broke away and ran home. It was then, it is said, that young Lo kyars death was accomplished. The knife thrust above the heart was the cause of death. The other onto and bruises were evidently made to mutilate the body, in a spirit of gloating fiendish nesa. FIGHTING MKENNA. Efforts Botnar Made to Prevent Hie as Supremo Coart Jastlee.
