ttAeni.v, rev. No,, <j._There wems
to he a go i deal of misapprehension
is to the meaning of the announce?
ment mad. immediately after the ad?
journment of congress that Secretary
Carlisle w< jld at once resume the e< in
ageofsilv.r. Many newspapers have
interprets this to mean thnt Mr.
Carlisle in ends to coin h- once and put
into circn ition the entire amount of
seigniora/? ? now in the treasury
amounting to about fifty-three million
silver doll rs.
Sccretar Carlisle's statement was
explicit e oogh, it would appear, to
prevent sr. eh a widespread misreprc
Rcntation. What he baa proposed to
do is to co t fa,o?0,000 a month, which
is the full upacity of the mints, of the
bullion no ; in the treasury. <?f this
amount, . j proxin ntt ly. one-third or
about $1,0-' I.C0O, would 1 e seigniorage.
This 81,COt 000 of monthly seigniorage
cannot I;. ;otnc c.r available asset of
the treas- ry under section :: of the
Sherman a t until it has been minted.
Probabb .Secretary Carlisle and Mr.
Cleveland re willing enongh that their
policy shs 1 be misinterpreted, as it
has been, ?ecauss tiicy think it ill
tend to e eck the drift of Southern
voters aw; ? from the democracy to the
ranks of t c populists, in this reapect
the annoir leiucnt of renewed coinage
of silver ra y serve as a "pood enough,
Morgan! u til alter the elections" no.\t
Tuesday. As n matter of fact this
profit lo 1 ic treasury, amounting to
only $1,000 J0O n month or $1:2,000,000 a
year, will only onc-iifth or perhaps
one-sixth f lite threatened deficit at
the end of this fiscal year of from $t-o,
000,000 to r 7\! C00,0t'*0.
From tl s it is evident thnt an issue
of bonds i inevitable. The way for
stich an is te has been cleared by the
opinion p:< pared hint spring", by A(t r
ney (Jener' Olney, thut the secretary
of the tre sury lias the power to issue
bonds with nit further authorization by
congress.
The only question now If whet: er
thendmini iration can postpone a bon<l
issue until ftcr congress has come to?
gether in r gulnr session on December
?1. If 1 >r>nc" must 1>" isc-i"i. s now
seems evi ent, the a I ministration
would don"? tless prefer to issue them
when the 1 gislntivc branch of the gov?
ernment i: in operation, even though
no further authorization by congress
be rectnirec This would give the pre i
dent the oi ?ortunity, if he so desired,
of placing le responsibility upon con?
gress by re ommonding :\ bond issue in |
a message.
This wee will probably see renewed
activity on ? lie pert of the democratic j
members o '-he ways and means com?
mittee in < ':eir secret preparation oi
their tariff ' '11. Chairman Wilson and
Secretary ( .rlisje have had many con?
sultations ? itli President Cleveland ap
to this me; tire during the past week.
In fact, for i number of days Secretary
Carlisle has given scarcely any atten?
tion to tho jondtict of the treasury de?
partment, pending almost all of his
time with the president considering
tho plan e silver coinage which was
announced asl week, methoas to meet
the deficit i the treasury anil tho gen?
eral outlin of the tariff measure.
However secretly the ways aud
means cor mittee may conduct its in?
tended sta chaml er proceedings, pub?
licity to i: . conclusions has been as?
sured hy he adoption of Mr. Reed's
araendmen to the Patchings revolu?

Maiwid, Not. ?.? An eye-witness of
the terrible disaster at Santander says
that the dynamite on hoard the Cabo
Machichaco was concealed under tho
non which formed a portion of her
cargo. The tire, the eye-witness ways,
is believe ! to have originated in
some packages of skins which were
crammed into the steamer's bunk?
ers. When tho fire broke out tho
captain of tho trans-Atlantic steamer
Alfonso XII. ordered his steam
launch to l)e lowered arid manned by
nearly all ids officers and crew, whom
he sent to : he assistance of the burning
steamer. I'hc steam launch, with tho
ere it of th ? Alfonso XI h on board, ar?
rived alon 'sidr the Oabo Machichaco
just a moi icnt >cforo. tee hitter vessel
blew up, and consequently they wera
blown to itoms with the crew of tho
dynamite steamer. Continuing, ho
says:
'?The explosion was like an earth?
quake. A y lower of burning fragments
fell upon :.he houses, which were al?
ready tottering, crushing in the roofs,
while heavy pieces of iron were hurled
through the walls of houses with ill
the violence of cannon shots. Houses
were immediately Ignited by tho
blazing timbers which fell upon
them, and the p^opl" who were not
killed rushed in terror into tie streets,
whore j; r.urnl?rr of them met denth or
were severely crushed or wounded by
faking houses. Others ran in terror
from the scene, and hundreds went
mad with fear, and. abandoning tho
city, ran into the fields, shrieking hys?
terically and tearing their hair with
fury. Mat v thought 'he end of tho
world had oatc. A number of the m< st
frenzied p ople ran fr<<in Santander
into the n ighboring villages, spread?
ing, in inc h.-. f ,it, words, the news of
li e disast? r, refnsing to reuirn to tho
ill-fated city, even when assured that
ail danger vas over, others, after re?
covering from *he shock, hastened to
the scene of the disaster in order to
search for he missing relatives whom
they liela red to have met death
through the explosion. Upon arriving
at the see le of wreck and carnage,
they found the place covered with dead
and wound d, many of the victims being
so horribly burned and mutilated that]
their recognition by relatives was ut?
terly impofi iiblo. The ground near tho
quay and promenade wp.3 strewn with
mutilated bodies, heads and severed
limbs, whil j all around wore houses in :
roaring flames, the air being thick with
smoke and pieces of burning material.
The bodies of men, women and chil?
dren of all classes were found in horri?
ble mcdlcv, blackened, burned and
torn in the moat heartrending manner.
"There w >re many mlraculon - ci.capos
from death; for instance, a men was
thrown a great distance by the explo?
sion, and yet he was only slightly in?
jured by t: e shock sustained through
the fall. Another rar?n was thrown into
the sea by the force of the explosion,
and though the disaster occurred at
about 4:^0 p. m. this man was rescued
from the water nt 10 o'clock the ?tnio
night, benumbed and stupefied but
alive. On Saturday morning following
the awful night of lire and death a
number of : cople win) had been'shoeked j
Into a state of imbecility or madness
were found hiding beneath the ruins.
"Crowds of orphans Saturday gath?
ered at the town hall bewailing their
lost mothers or fathers, and asking for
assistance in the search they had been
making among the ruins for the bodies
of their loved ones. For a Ion? timo
to come the city of Santander will nee i
assistance from other cities in order to
succor the omeicss and wounded, to
bury the d< id and to repair as far as
possible th< damage done by the awful
dynamite u >heavcl.
The pecu nary loss by the fire at San?
tander is es lima ted at $2,500,000. Ac?
cording to > Inciui telegrams the latest
accounting mows th it. 300 persons were
killed and ? vj wounded.
The bun ing debris set fire to thoj
railway fdxtion at Solares, thirteen
miles distant from Santander.
NEW WHISKY PROCESS.
Distillery Employes Dolus AH They Con
to IIln<3?'r Tnlcnminc.
Pkohia, ill.. Nov 0.?Interest has
been aroused in distillery cir?
cles her?* by another net of
interference with the Takamine
experiments which began November 1,
at tiie Marihaltandistiilcry. Takamine,
the Japanese chemist, has always
claimed that he has never had a fair
chance to show what his process would
do. because the employes of the dis?
tilleries, who would he dispensed with
if his process was adopted, always in?
terfered with his work.
So the Ma thattan was turned over to
him tho firs' of the month, nnd he went
to work bei ind closed doors. An ex?
pert yeasi i inker named Wright, from
Chicago, wa* employed and thr> process
begun. i'r day nifc'ht, however, the
door to the room was forced with an
iron bar. an I ati the yeast was ruined,
bringing the experiments to a stop.
Three days vill ho required to make
some more \ aast. Takamine claims that
such treatment only proves the value
of his inven ion.
