AN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Of What the 10 to 1 Free Coinage
Means
Washington. D. C.. .Inly 13.—The of-
ficials of the treasury department
have out a statement today explain-
ing as follows:
“Free and unlimited coinage of sil-
ver. as enunciated by the Chicago
platform means that our mints shall
receive and coin into money or bars
free of charge all silver of standard
fineness that may be presented unless
by congressional legislation the
amount shall be limited to the Amer-
ican product.
"The term *l6 to 1' means that pure
silver in the standard dollar weighs
about sixteen times as much as the
pure gold in a gold dollar. An Amer-
ican silver dollar contains 371% grains
of silver while an American gold dol-
lar contains 23%grains of gold.
“At the period of the establish-
ment of the United States mints con-
gress fixed the ratio between silver
and gold to be used in the respective
coins at fifteen ounces of silver to one
ounce of gold. Later it was found
that the ratio of 15 to 1 was too high
and it was changed by law to 16 to
1. At that time France was using the
ratio of 15% to 1. At the present val-
ue at which gold and silver is held
in the world’s markets one ounce of
gold will buy about thirty ounces of
silver.”

PLENTY OF TICKETS.
“Three weeks ago the country's po-
litical storm center was in St. Louis
this week it is in Chicago and two
weeks hence it will shift to St. Louis
again for the Populists and the Sil-
ver party will meet in this city at
that time to put up a ticket or tick-
ets. There is likely to be two Demo-
cratic tickets and the Populists will
accept neither. There is a chance too
that the men calling themselves the
Silver party may refuse to combine
with the Populists in which case
three tickets nominated in St. Louis
will be in the field this year. These
with the two Democratic and two
Prohibition tickets will give the voter
a liberty of choice which he seldom
gets. The bolting Republicans are
left out of the count here for it is
supposed they will fuse with the Pop-
ulists a presumption however which
may turn out to be erroneous.”—

THE POPULIST IDEA.
Judge Kearby’s Speech at Convention
Hall In His Gubernatorial Canvass.
Convention hall on the corner
of Flores and Houston streets was
well filled last night with the
populist democratic and some few
republican citizens of San An-
tonio for the purpose of hearing
the speech of Hon Jerome C.
Kearby populist candidate for
governor and who stands a splen-
did chance of defeating the present
democratic governor Culberson at
the next election.
Judge Kearby is a man
of commanding presence and
good voice and while his words
are plain and unvarnished by ora-
torical flights and gilded phrases
he speaks to the people in their
common language.
He declared the populists would
put out their own national ticket
despite the efforts of the democrats
at fusion on Bryan and rapidly
approached the main portion of
his subject by explaining the dif-
ferences in the political parties of
the day dwelling at length on the
financial question in which he
showed that the populists wanted a
legal tender based on the full
credit of the government and that
it made no difference as to its in-
trinsic value so long as its govern-
ment stamp made it of value. He
also denounced government bond
issues and the maintaining of the
heavy treasury reserve declaring
this immense sum should be in
circulation among the people. The
issue of gold or honest money
could not be as the gold supply
was inadequate to pay the national
debt or even the appropriations of
the last congress. The people want
a money that will remain at home
and this gold will not do. He
closed with some hot shot at the
railroads and declared (he national
government should own and'con-
trol them.
At the ending of his speech the
announcement was made that the
Populist Central club would meet
tonight in Central garden.
Judge Kearby then left the hall
in company with some friends and
after the cool breezes outside the
hot hall had fanned his perspiring
brow they adjourned to a saloon
on the way to the judge’s hotel
where the next governor took a
straight old Kentucky bracer and
then went to bed in his room. He
left today for San Marcos where
he will speak tonight and from
there be goes to Austin tomorrow.
A Burglary.
Some time during last night
burglars evidently negroes broke
open a window shutter on the river
front of Max Schultze’s hardware
store near Commerce street bridge
and robbed the cutlery show case
of three fine razors and two-bits in
silver.
South African Revolt.
Buluwayo July 14. —News of
the utmost gravity has reached
this place from Mangwe and Tati
districts. It is to the effect that
the rebel Impi has taken up a posi-
tion on the Tati road about 25
miles southwest of Buluwayo.
Fakow one of the most noted na-
tive chiefs has joined the rebels
with reinforcements and ordered
the construction of forts on the
Tati road. The Malakas are al-
ready iu great force in the north-
western part of the Tati conces-
sion. Fighting is expected to take
place immediately.
Married in Ohio.
Pierce Converse son of Major
James Converse of this city was
married this morning at Hiram
0. to a young lady of that city.
The wedding was attended by
Major Converse and Mr. Ben Con-
verse of this city.
BURNT TO DEATH-
Horrible Death of a San Antonio Boy in
Colorado-
Mr. Henry Feille of the county
assessor’s office received a letter
this morning from Mrs. Nick
Mailhes of Pueblo Col. stating
that her husband Nick Mailhes
was burned to death at Alamosa
Col. on the night of July 4. The
letter states that he had worked
at Alamosa for three months and
it is bellevedja lamp turned over in
his room which was a frame house
and that the house caught fire and
he was cremated. Deceased’s
former home was in San Antonio
and he lived on Blum street. His
father Nick Mailhes Sr. died in
this city about three years ago.

and gave lessons. He was here
last about three years ago. He
leaves a wife a little boy and a
little girl at Pueblo. He was

COULDN'T HIT QUIGG.
The Denison Twirler Pitched in Pine
Form and Won His Game.
Pitcher Quigg had as much to
do with the Bronchos’ defeat yes-
terday as Bill McKinley has in
beating the democratic party.
QuiRR batted in runs for the In-
dians just as McKinley is pulling
in votes.
That man Quigg also prevented
the Bronchos from scoring. He
started in with good speed and
instead of letting down he in-
creased his pace as the game went
on. The best the locals could do
was to hit the ball up against the
fielders. For five innings we went
out in 1-2-3 order without getting
a man to first. The visitors didn’t
fare any better until the fourth in-
ning when with no runs scored
Miller got an error in right field
followed by four hits and the visi-
tors made four runs.
Tim Nevin’s fate was sealed.
The Indians got at him and pound-
ed him unmercifully. In the fifth
with two out and two men on
bases Quigg lifted the ball ot'er
the fence for a home run making
the score 7 to 0.
The cranks were still in hope
and expected the Bronchos to open
up on the Indian pitcher every
moment which was as likely as
not. But sad to relate that event-
ful moment did not arrive. The
game was not a bad one to look at
but the worst came when the sad
news bad to be broken to inquir-
ing friends 9 to 0.
The cranks were ready to stake
their lives on yesterday’s game.
The only way the locals could have
won yesterday was to hypnotize
Quigg. That boy was invincible
and deserves credit for the Indians’
victory.
