DISAPPOINTMENT AND DIsCoURAGESlENI

DISAPPOINTMENT AND ENCOURAGEMENT
Then think OF the disappointment. Now

their only hope of safety is in getting back

with the darkness of a long winter closing
in about them, tell you it is something
to think of. How are they to live? They
will be encountered with sick. They will

chances are decidedly against their get

However, hope ,ffor they are brave

THE RELIEF ARRANGEMENTS.
The arrangements for the Greely relief
expedition are progressing so satisfac-
tOrily that it is expected that both the
Thetis and Bear will be able to sail on the
expedition by May 1. The supply ship
Alert will start later, but as soon as she
can be put in readiness. The different
bureaus of the Navy Department have
been informed of what part of the outfit
they are to see to and are performing the
duties required. The torpedo station at
Newport has been ordered to manufacture
Immediately 1900 pounds of gun cotton,
which will be used if necessary in break
ing through the ice. About 70 men for
the crews have already been accepted.

THE OUTGOING GOLD.
Director of the Mint Burchard Tells
Why He is Not Alarmed.

Director of the Mint Burchard Tells
Why He is Not Alarmed
WASHINGTON, March 1O.-Mr. Bur-
chard, Director Of the Mint, says that the
alarm about the exports of gold is unnec-
essary IN his opinion, as the outgo is only
temporary and in part accounted for by
the fact that the interest rate in England
has recently been increased; that Euro
pean holders of American securities are
selling in the American market on ac-
count of the depreciation in prices
and the demand for gold from
Australia has recently been quite
marked. The balance of trade, he saws.
is not really against us, but the fact that
almost all our exports are carried in for
elgn bottoms makes it necessary to nav
freight to foreigners. The most surpris-
ing feature in this drain is. he saws. the
fact that the gold shipped is nearly all in
double eagles, instead of gold bars. This
he is at loss to account for. Mr.. Bur-
chard is inclined to look with favor upon
Representative Lacey's proposition to call
in the 81 and 81 notes, and issue instead
small silver certificates. He would 90
further, he says. and call in all the five
dollar greenbacks and national bank bills.
The real trouble is caused by issuing
separate certificates for silver and gold.
Had all certificates been made PAYABLE in
coin no difficulty would have arisen.
W hlIe he thinks there is no present need
OF apprehension, there certainly will be
trouble unless the coinage of standard
silver dollars is stopped or some method
devised to force them into circulation
either as coin or certificates.

81 per cent. Of the corn crop has gone

THE MEXICAN TREATY.
Three Hours Spent by the Senate
Secret Discussion without Result.

Three Hours Spent by the Senate in
Secret Discussion without Result
WASHINGTON, March 10.-The Senate
spent three hours in secret session to-day.
Senator Van Wyck's resolution, offered
several weeks ago, providing that the
discussion of the Mexican treaty should
be continued in open session, was taken
up, and after some discussion was lost
upon viva yOce vote. A considerable
number of Senators voted in the affirma-
tive, but the yeas and nays were not de-
manded. The Mexican treaty was then
taken up, and the discussion, which is
described as being rather dull, occupied
the remainder of the session. The
chief speakers were Senator Miller in sup
port and Senators Morrill,, Sherman and
Jonas IN opposition to the treaty. No i'm
pOrtant points which were not deyelOped
in the previous discussion of the treaty
were brought out. An amendment which
had the approval of the Committee on
Foreign Relations was proposed and car
rled providing that the treaty shall not take
effect until after the Congress of the United
states shall have passed laws to carry
it into effect. This amendment is a re-
cognition of the doctrine that all laws af-
fecting the revenue shall originate in the
House of Representatives. Although no
formal understanding with regard to the
final vote was secured the opinion is ex-
pressed by the Senators that the treaty
will be taken up after the morning busi-
ness tomorrow, and that vote will be
reached during the day.
A WEAK ARGUMENT.
Ex-Governor McCook, of Colorado. said
to the NEWS correspondent tonight that
a vote would probably be reached to-mor-
row, and that the friends of the treaty
confidently anticipated its ratification.
Senator Gibson, OF Louisiana. will make
a speech against ratification tomorrow.
Mr.. McCOOk said tonight that ratification
of the treaty would not only bring the
pauper peOn labor of Mexico in direct
competition with free American labor.
but work Irreparable injury to mining
interests. If coal, coke and American
ore are admitted into Mexico free of duty
and their products returned to the United
states free of duty, the result will be
that owing to the Soc. and soc. per dav
labor which can be hired in Mexico for
reducing and smelling ores, every smelt-
ing work in Colorado, New Mexico and
Arizona will be closed down and their la
borers driven out for the benefit of cheap
Mexican or Chinese labor. 81 cannot"
he continued, understand how persons
"hO DooVAOU " lnaAS lhee ldDOr respectable
and self-supporting, and public men who
have opposed Chinese cheap labor, should
now favor the ratification of treaty
which will bring to the United States
more than all the evils of Chinese labor.
and which will practically reduce the
whole eOlored labor of the South engaged
in producing sugar and most of the work
men of the North and the miners Of the
West into a condition of pauperism. We
will bitterly regret it if the treaty is
adopted" This is the last and probably
the weakest of all the arguments which
have been urged against the treaty.
