GOLD FROM ALL IIIIIS
' More Has Been Paid Us This Year
Than Ever Before.

Washington, D. 0., Nov. 18. —-The im-
pmtations of gold into the 'nited
States in the year 1898 kare by far the
largest in the history of. t e country,
and the exportations the mallest in_
many years, while the production of
gold from our own,mines will prove
the largest in many\\years, if not the
largest in the history of the coun-
try.
The October statement of imports
and exports, just issued by the treas-
ury bureau of statistics, shows that
the total imports of gold in the ten
months ending October 31, 1898, are
$143,658,095, which is more than fifty
per cent. in excess of the amount im—
po: :ed in the corresponding period of
art.- preceding year.
"I he exports during that time have
b m but $14,061,849, which is less than
ill the corresponding months of any
Iseceding year for more than a de-
.1.I.de.
This gives the enormous balance of
5129, 596, 246 of gold importations in ex-
cess of gold exportations.
In only one other year in the decade
have the ten months ending with Oc-
tober shown an excess of imports of
gold over the exports, that occasion be-
mg in 1896, when the excess of imports
was $37,085,851. In all other years from
1888 to 1898 the October returns showed
for the ten months of the calendar
year an excess of exports of gold over
.the imports of that article, that of 1895
Ibeing $43,247,360, and of 1894 $72,808,-
322.
This unprecedented flow of gold into
the United States is accounted for in
.part, at least, by the enormous balance
of trade in our favor, which the ten
months of the year afford.
In these ten months the total im-
ports of merchandise amounted to but
5527, 757, 554, while the total export was
$987, 964, 356, a balance of trade in our
Favor of $460, 206, 802. - -
The total exports of merchandise for
the month' of October, 1898, amounted
amounted to $118,686,232, a. sum larger
than in any preceding October in the
historyof the country, the, figures for
October, 1897, being $111,744,517, and
:hose for October, 1896, $113,516,586.
The enormous importation of gold in
excess of the exportation of this arti-
cle is plainly perceptible in the increas-
ed circulation shown by the figures of
The latest
statement of the gold in‘ the treasury
shows a gold balance of $242,805,604,
while the gold in circulation on No-
vember 1, was $649,846,727, being $110,—

Ithan on July 1, 1896, in which month
and nearly $200,000,000 more
It touched its lowest point in several
’i’e ars.
The total money in circulation at the
beginning of the present month is
shown by the treasury figures to hav 2
been $1,866,575,782, against $1, 706, 732,901
at the corresponding date last year,
and $1,509,725,200 on July 1, 1896, the in-
:rease in circulation in the past Year
having been $159,842,878, and since July
1, 1896, $356,850,582.

Tancouver, B. 0., Nov. 18.—Advices
received by the steamer Empress of
China, from China and Japan, include
disquieting news as to the health of
the American troops at Manila.
In addition to the malarial and ty-
phoid fever prevailing, smallpox is re;

'i‘here is also a leper alarm

Through the neglect of the Spanish
oli‘scfals, nearly two hundred' lepers are
reported to have escaped from confine-
ment. .
For a time this was unknown to the
American authorities, and the outcasts
were allowed to wander at large. Or-
ders have been issued that all lepers
shall be arrested and sent to a small
uninhabited island southeast of Luzon,
where they will be fed and cared for
at the expense of the United States
government.
As far as can be ascertained about
sixty lcpers are still at large.

Important Investigations in Cuba' .111 I
the South that Promise Well.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 18.—The yel-
low fever problem has been receiving
attention from the authorities here,
particularly the Marine Hospital ser-
vice and the war department, owing
to the important new relations estab-
lished with Cuba and other fever lo-
calities to the sOuth of us, and because
of the recurrence of the disease within
this country during the last summer.
The purpose is to prepare during the
coming winter months for such an
efficient cordon of protection around
the country that the chances of a re-
introduction of the disease will be re-
duced to a. minimum, while the points
of infection in Cuba and elsewhere will
be so improved by sanitation and guar-
ded by quarantine that the main sour-
ces of danger will be removed.
Already the Marine \Hospital service
has begun its work of establishing a
A
operation in Havana harbor and a sim-
ilar plant is at Santiago, although not
in operation.
The work of Messrs. Wasdin and
Geddings is considered particularly im-
portant, as they were especially ap—
pointed by the president to ascertain
the causes of yellow fever.
Their preliminary reportm
geon general is said to be one of the.
most important contributions to medi-
cal science made in recent years, as it.
practically sustains the Sanarelli theo-
ry that yellow fever is the outgrowth
of a. certain organism.
This is not yet the positive conclu-
sion of the United States commission-
ers, but Surgeon Geddings reports that
in his experiments he found that 76
per cent. of the yellow fever cultures
had the organisms described by Sanar-
elli, while Surgeon Wasdin identified
42 per cent. of cases as showing the
Sanarelli organisms.
The work already done by these ex-,
perts gives promise to the officials here
that the complete investigation will
make a marked contribution to the
problem of preventing and curing yel—
low fever.
The Wrecked Maria. Teresa.
Norfolk, Va., Nov. 18.—The Merritt
Wrecking‘Company has information
that both of its powerful tugs, the Mer-
ritt and Chapman, are at the scene of
the Malia Teresa wreck at Cat is-
land.
On board are about eighty wreckers
and divers and the most powerful
wrecking machinery in use.
Now that the government has aban-
doned the vessel, it may be that the
Merritt Company will try and float her
on their own responsibility.
At the local office it was said yester-
day that nothing would be done until
Captain Chittenden, who was in charge
of the wreckers, was heard from.
President Dwight Resigns
New Haven, Nov.‘18.——The halls of
Yale University are filled with aston-
ishment at the announcement, made
public last evening, at the close of a
meeting of the university corpora tion,
to the effect that President Timothy
Dwight, for twelve years the head of
the institution, had presented his res—
ignation to take effect at the end of the:
present academic year.
Among the friends of this great edu—
cator it has been no secret for a long
time that the president contemplated
his resignation before age weighed too
heavily upon him.
Emperor “'illianl Going Hollie.
Berlin, Nov. 18.—An official telegram
received here from Valetta, Island of
Malta, says that the Emperor and
Empress of Germany have sailed for
Pola, at the northern part of the Ad-
riatic. sea, from which port they will
travel overland direct for home.
It is explai .1ed that the emperor de-
cided upon this course because the
temperature of the Mediterranean has.
become considerably cooler, and the
danger to the health of the empress
by a sudden change from a northern
to a southern climate is thus lessen-
ed.

It is not likely, therefore, that he will
return home at present.
Assistant United States Attorney

been ordered to Washington for con-
ference with the officials of the depart-
ment of justice, and upon his arrival

Vashington, D. 0., Nov. 18.—The
Osage Indians probably are the weal-

They are aristocrats, and scorn man-
ual labor, according to Agent Pollock's
annual report to the interior depart—
ment.
They own over eight hundred acres
of land for each man, woman and child
each receiving an annuity of over two
hundred dollars in cash. As an illus-
tration, ii? an Indian and his wife have
eight children the annual cash income
of the family is over $2,000.

ples is proceeding satisfactorily, acc01-
