i \Villl Do -Nothing' to Strengthen
(ARE AGAINST ME. GAGE
Western Senators Will Follow the
President, but Not Secretary.
SENATOR WARREN TALKS
a
5113’s His Colleagues May Favor Mr.
McKinley’s Recommendations, but
the Single Gold Standard.
Washington, Dec. 23.-——I't is undoubt—
‘edly t1ue that the Western Senators
who remained loyal to the Republican
party during the Presidential cam-
paign, and who aided in passing the
Tariff bill, are placed in a. most em-
' oarrassing position by Secretary
Gage’s utterance before the Banking
and Currency Committee last week,
when the Republican leaders thought
the Secretary's declarations in regard
“to fastening more thoroughly the sin-
gle gold standard upon the country,”
indiscreet and. impolitic. They knew
that the Republican Senators from the
Western States were striving to find a.
way to aid-the Republican majority to
pass some financial legislation, and
Secretary Gage’s declaration at once
made it clear that these Western Sen-
ators would be embarrassed and per-
haps prevented in any action contem-
plated to aid the Administration.
Serious Detection.
Senator Wol'cott was the first to give
his views. He made an open declara—
tion against Secretary Gage and his
plan. To-day he is followed by other
Western Senators, who explain how
they do not see their way clear to fol-
low the Secretary of the Treasury. The
revolt of Senator Wolcott is especially
disastrous at this time, because he is
a. member of the Senate Finance Com-
mittee, and has hitherto worked with
the Republicans in reporting Adminis-
tration bills. He certainly will not fa—
vor Secretary Gage’s plan, and al-
though he might indorse a bill carry—
lng out the views of the President, he
will join with Senator Jones, of Neva-
da,' and the Democratic members of
the committee in preventing Secretary
Gage from carrying out his financial
ideas. Senators Carter, of Montana,
c1nd Hansbrough, of North Dakota,
who have been with the Administra-
tion, express little hope of currency
legislation at this session.
"Senator Warren, of Wyoming, who
‘ has been one of the stanchest friends
of the Administration, gives his views
in the following words: “With the rec-
ommendations of the President regard-
ing national banks mostof us will
agree, and we realize that there are
also some good points in Mr. Gage’s
proposed bill. We cannot, however,
follow him to the extent of doing any-
thing to still further fasten the single
gold standard upon this country. I
regard the discussion of this matter at
this time as being most inopportune.
The declared purpose of Secretary
Gage complicates the situation, and
will without doubt array against his
proposed measure a. number of VVest-
ern Republicans and will make it an
easy task for the Democrats to pre-
vent any legislation from being en-
acted. Consequently the whole matter
ought to be dropped. I regard it as
idiotic to stir up all this agitation
upon the financial question when the
country is about to take a turn to-
ward better times.
“Will Produce Unrest.”
“It will produce nothing but further
unrest in business circles. It will cause
an unnecessary uneasiness about our
not to be tolerated for a. moment. I
am in favor of the President’s recom-
mendations regarding the issue of bank
notes up to the par value of the bonds
deposited to secure circulation, and for
the establishment of banks with small
capital, and for the withdrawal of all
national bank notes under $10. I
would go further and say that all of
these notes and all other Government
bills below $5 should be replaced by
silver dollars. 'It may be said, that sil-
ver certificates are already in circula-
tion. That is true, but the presence of
the silver dollar itself would be an ob-
ject lesson which would mean a. great
deal to our people. I know that in my
State, where silver dollars 'are used
almost exclusively, the people have
grown to like them much better than
paper money. The sentimental love
for the hard silver dollar may be
something that cannot stand the cold
criticism of the banker, but it cer-
tainly exists.
“I have just come back from Boston,”
:ontinued the Senator, “and while there
I was told that the Eastern Republi-
cans, independents, gold democrats,
to maintain a sound currency, and
that they were entitled to have some
legislation in the line of currency re-
form. I answered them that they had
had taken the one which they regard-
ed as the least objectionable, and the
least which might be granted them
now was better for them than Brygn-
ism would have been. I did not see,
therefore, that they had any. cause for
complaint. '
_, Position of the West. ,
“I reminded them, too, that out
West we had voted for McKinley ‘be-
cause we were assured that his elec-
tion did not mean further steps.to-
ward a single gold standard. We stood
by» the party under the promise that
there would be efforts for international
bimetallism and a. larger recognition
of silver. We are entitled to have
these promises kept. If they are not
kept it will be'flmpossible for us to
hold the Republicansdn line. But, as
the time to bring the question to an
issue. Let us see what the Dingley
bill will do for us in the way of reve:
nue, and above all, let us see whether
we cannot make a stride toward better
times. If we can do this, there is no
reason 'why. we
financial question now. ,We can come
back here next session prepared to
take the matter up with a clearer .un-
derstanding and under more favorable
circumstances.- The legislation that is
now desired—I will not say that it is
needed—ought to be pigeonholed and
the country given a. rest. "

Washington, Dec. 23.——C'apt. Brain:
1rd, of the Subsistence Department of
the army, arrived in WashingtOn yes-
terday and conferred with Secretary
Alger respecting plans for the relief of
the Yukon miners. Rsspcnses'to the

rations can be had at reasonable 1ates
if contracts are made at once.

Nuggets on Exhibition.
St. Paul, Minn, Dec. 23.—The general
passenger department of the Great
Northern Railway has received a. con-
signment of gold dust and nuggets
from the S’éattle Chamber of Comg
merce, the total weight being twenty-
seven pounds eleven ounces, and hav-
ing a value of $6,365. The precious
stuff ranges from a. nugget of one
pound six ounces down to coarse
grains of. pinlhead size, and comes
from Bonanza Creek, in the Klondike
district, and Minook Creek, in the Ta-
nana. district. The gold will be dis-
played here for a' few days and then
go East 'to the general agencies of the
road for exhibition.
It is the largest quantity of the yel-
low metal from‘ Alaska yet handled
outside of the banks and mints.

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 23.—The steam-
er Corona has sailed for Skaguay and
Dyea and way ports. She was com-
pelled to refuse freight and second-
class passengers because of lack of ac-
commodations. The Corona will carry
to the North 200 passengers, 50 per
cent. of whom are prospective miners,
and 800 tons of general merchandise.
COMING CIVIL SERVICE CHANGES.
Cabinet Officers to Report What Ex-
emption They Think Advisable.‘
Washington, .Dec. 23.—The result of
Tuesday’s Cabinet 'meeting in regard
to civil service seems 'to be misunder-
stood. The President has not aban-
doned his purpose of exempting.cer-
tain offices from the working of the
law. He has only postponed issuing
his order until the members of the
Cabinet can report to him in writing
exactly what offices they desire taken
from the-classified service. This order
will not now be issued until after-the
first of the year.
It is stated that the offices to be ex-
empted, as predicted in these dis-
patches last Saturday, will be mainly
those outside Washington: The Treas-
ury Department will recommend that
Deputy Collectors of Internal Reve-
nue,’ Deputy Collectors of Customs and
Assistant Sub-Treasurers be exempted:
the Department of Justice, Deputy
Marshals and Assistant District At-
torneys; the Interior Department, cer-
twin officials connected with the Pen-
sion Bureau, while the Postoffice De-
partment will want Assistant Post-
masters, cashiers and other bonded of-
ficials included in the ordei.

ENGLAND WATCHING US.
Said to Be Very Anxious to Learn the
United States’ Attitude.
Washington, Dec. 23.—It is under-
stood that the authorities here have
been unolfiically sounded’as to the at-
titude of the United States toward the
complications in the far East, with a
view to learning whether American in-
terests in China were regarded as suf—
ficient to Warrant any active step by
this Government. From what sources
the inquiries have come is not dis-
closed. If from'Great Britain it must
have come through Col. Hay, the
American Ambassador at London, as
the Brtish ofl'lcials here have received
no instructions as to the Chinese sit-
uation. It is well understood, how-
ever, that Grea.tBritain would .look
with favor on any active step by the
United States which would serve as a
check for the advances‘of Germany
and Russia.
The British interests _,in China. are
ten times greater than'those of Ger-
many, Russia and the United _States,
and yet, with Germany and Russia
firmly located on Chinese soil, Great
Britain is left in a. sort of cul de sac.
It is known, also, that the Chinese au-
thorities w6uld welcome a. movement
by the United States and that this has
been communicated to officials here.
Although these soundings, for they
amount to nothing more as yet, have
net taken official form, they have been
sufficient to gain a. pretty general un-
derstanding as to the attitude of this
Government. This, in brief, is that the
United States has no interest in terri-
torial extension now going on in
uC’hina, as Germany and Russia have
done, and that her only concern isto
guard established American interests
in China These ‘American interests
appear to be much greater than is gen-
erally known. There are the following
American treaty ports. in China:
Canton, Ghee-Foo, Ching Kiting, Foo
Chow, Haiplong, Nakow,_ Holhow,
Ichang, Kewkiang, Lung Chow, Meng=

and an Amelican' reservation,

just outside .the walls of the city, ac-
cupying a. wide sweep -of lands. At
those points also the commercial in-
and are constantly growing. They are
the centres for the American mission~
ary communities, too. For instance, at
Canton there is the American Presby-
terian Boaid, -with twenty-two mem-
bers; the American Baptist Mission

SPURRIER SAID TO BE ALIVE;
Report that Missing- Minlster Disap-

the mystery surrounding the disap-

will be produced alive. .
According to the hints dropped the
old man left Bainbrige to escape being

it is said he was seen in conversation
on Thursday afternoon in Middletown

blood-smeared documents, was found,
which seemed to sustain the theory of
murder.
But it seems that the old man is not
only living, but he is said to be carry-
ing a brand new satchel full of Bibles
and hymn books. It is claimed that
persons with whom the old man took
breakfast and dinner last Friday have
called on Chief Weston and told him
about-it, giving such an accurate de-
scription of him as to leave no room
for doubt as to his identity.
