FINANCES AGAIN.


Secretary Foster Disagrees With Leech
Regards Silver.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-In talk with
reporter today about the recent state
ment of Mint Director Leech on finan-
ces, Secretary Foster said Leech was
right in the main, although he (Foster)
would have stated it differently. He
would say that some of the 1920, ,0OO, COO
of available cash might be regarded as
trust funds. 1t would be correct to say
that the sum of $7O,OOO,O00 is unques-
tionably available cash-that is, money
in the banks, subsidiary coin. trade
dollar bullion, current cash and silver
against which no certificates are issued.
against greenbacks, the secretary said
the government can and will use this
gold reserve if needed on a pinch. As
the notes outstanding are legal tender,
the gold should therefore appear in the
debt statement as available cash.
The secretary does not agree with
Leech in the opinion that the silver pur-
chased under the new act, against which
certificates are issued, is available cash.
The certificates are against that and it is
in the nature of a trust, but the profits
on silver purchases, amounting to some
50, 600 900, may be used. The secretary
said he was thinking of trying to substi
tute 2 per cent. for AIS, as Window
proposed. If it can be done, there will
be two advantages over redemption. To
be able to float 2 per cents. will demon
strate the extraordinary soundness of
the government credit, and the money
required to redeem the 41as may be used
for the purchase of As at a saving of 2
per cent. of the interest, to be paid up
to the time of maturity.

Balmaceda Escapes Assassination.

VALPARAISO, April 29.-President Bal
maceda, of Chill, escaped death from
assassination as if by miracle today.
He and his family were seated in the
parlor of the presidential mansion when
a dynamite bomb was thrown into one
of the rooms through q window. The
bomb exploded and did mnch damage to
the room but no one was hurt. Intense
excitement was caused by the attempted
assassination, and the streets and the
vicinity of the palace have been crowded
since. There is no clue of the perpetra-
tor of the outrage, but the authorities
are using every effort to establish his
identity and capture him.

New YORK, May 1.-(nUon) The as

DuoUoIN, ILL.,, May l. = About 1900

SAN Francisco, May 1.-The Ezami-

Liliukikenoi as stating that in the event
of rejection of the prorosed new treaty
between the Hawaain Islands and the
United States, the commerce between
the two countries would greatly dimin-

HE WAS TOO AFFABLE.
A Smuggler Who Over-Acted His Part
Arrested.

A Smuggler Who Over-Acted His Part
Arrested.
PoRT TOWNSEND, April ga smooth
smuggler who had been doing thriv-
ing business on steamers between Vic
toria and Port Townsend, came to grief
Tuesday night. He came on board the
steamer North Pacific carrying valise
and box in which was set a luxuriant
geranium, and at once hunted up In
spector Learned and asked to have the
valise examined. He was very affable,
handed out cigars to the inspector and
over-acted the part of a pious, unso-
phisticated passenger. The inspectors
suspicious were aroused and when the
time came he not only examined the
valise but probed the earth in the box
containing the geranium. Under the
dirt he found concealed nineteen fve-tael
tins of prepared opium, or nine and a
half pounds of the drug. The smuggler
gave the name of Elder Gerard, and
was brought before United States Com
missioner Swan yesterday, his bail being
set at 1926. AS he could not find bonds
men he is still in the hands of Deputy
United States Marshal w. ]. Jones.
Gerard claims to be Methodist minis
ter, and is successful worker in the
opium trade. He made several trips
under various names, carrying boxes of
plants, and has escaped suspicion here
tofore.

GOVERNOR MARKHAM COMING.
A San Francisco Paper Makes Reference
to Oregon's Governor.

20 . oOFcHHOI'
SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.-An evening
paper says: The governors staff have
secured two cars and are waiting for or
ders from Adjutant General Allen to
attach them to the presidential train.
1t is their intention, if the governor de-
cides to accompany the president to the
Oregon line, to continue clear into Port
land with him and present him there to
mayor DeLashmutt. The latter has dis
played patriotic spirit not observable
in governor Pennoyer. The latter is un-
friendly to president Harrison. He is
the governor, they say, who was discev-
cred in Washington before the discovery
of Mount Hood, and who came near be-
ing lynched years ago for disrespectful
utterances at the time or the assassina-
ton of president Lincoln.

a few members Of the Downing
party seem to be greatly excited
as to the distribution Of the spoils.
They have a handsome majority in
both houses but still are in a great
strait apparently as to who shall
occupy the different places Of
trust or profit. Tne scramble will
be just as great as if it was between
Nationals and Downings. The dog
that captures the bone shouldn't
60 off and growl over it. The
trouble now seems to be that the
Nationals threaten TO buy some Of
the Downing men, That is too
bad indeed; the Nationals ought to
be ashamed Of themselves to think
Of such thing. None but Down
ing men should have smell and
to be sure that an aspirant is really
Downing the name should be
"blown in the bottle" so as to be
sure to get the genuine article. No
doubt many will say "Lordl
Lord" when the fact is they are
the meanest kind Of National men.
Every aspirant should be rigidly
examined and if he shows any
symptoms Of ever having been a
National or having aided or abet-
ted the National cause he should
at once be relegated to the rear
where he belongs and where he
can associate with those Of his
own ilk, with the Nationals.

them. The trend Of public senti-
ment can easily be learned and
woe be unto the senator or coun-
cilor who ignores it. The govern
ment after all is only machine
and all are or should be equally
interested in the work done by
that machine. Those elected to
Office are only intrusted with the
temporary management of our gov
ernmental machinery and if any
improvement can be made that
would accelerate the working Of
the machinery or improve the
quality of the work, those in
charge are expected to attend to
the same as servants ofthe people.
Probably the first important ques.
tion to be dealt with will be the
Outlet. The people expect council
TO take action in the matter
promptly. All eyes are now turned
in the direction of the Strip lands.
What will be the ultimate dispo-
sition OF that country is shrouded
in mystery, but few months will
reveal all. The United States
seems determined to settle the
question of title finally and ulti-
mately at an early day. The
treaty stipulations Of that govern
ment with us are supposed to pro-
tect our rights, and need empha.
sizing at this particular time. The
government should be reminded of
its solemn obligations respecting
the title to our lands, especially
that part of the treaty which guar.
antees that the lands of the Outlet
shall "never be included within
the limits of any state or terri
tory. Again, the advisability Of
allotting the home tract will be
discussed both in and out of coun-
Gil, and a bill will no doubt be
introduced looking to that end.
The more this question is agitated
the more people are getting in
favor of the measure. five would
perpetuate this government and
secure our homes against the in
vasion Of people from abroad and
monopolists at home we will be
compelled TO individualize the
title to our land. All are in favor
Of allotting the Strip as last
resort and the same conditions
will ere long confront US here east
of ninety-six degrees.

ACCORDING to late decision of
Judge Green, of Oklahoma, the
government Indian schools cannot
compel the attendance of pupils
without their parents consent.
This case is more especially inter-
esting as it stands without a prece-
dent, The case in question was
that of an Indian boy named Lin
coin, of the Iowa tribe, who was
placed in the government school
at Chilocco on the Cherokee Strip.
The boy was allowed TO return
home last month and one week
ago, by force and against his will,
was returned to school. The father
had a writ Of habeas corpus issued
compelling the school authorities
to produce the boy IN, court and
show cause why he should not be
returned to his (the father's) Gus
tody. 1t was maintained on
the side of the government
that they had authority to COM
pei the attendance Of Indian
children at the government school
Judge Green takes the position
that congress has not provided for
compulsory education of Indians,
and that the father is the natural
guardian of the child, whether
Indian or white. The custody of
the boy was given to the father.
The decision assumes some i'm.
portance when it is remembered
that one-half the scholars in the
Indian schools are there without
their parents consent.

IN every one of the FIVE civilized
tribes the political factions which
represent all the corruption and
retrogression that has disgraced the
nations for years, were triumphant
in the recent elections. Joel Mayes
the arch -boodler OF the quintette,
was re elected chief of the Chero-
KEGS over the head of the great al
lotment progressive, Bushyhead.
In the Creek nation, Perryman,
notorious for his conspicuous COM
plicity in the Oklahoma steal, was
reelected. The Smallwood party
won in the Choctaw nation, John
Brown has strengthened his wire
fence around the benighted Semi
mole nation, and the Byrd party
has been given a new lease of pow

garchy. These fellows have the

it came again with numerous K X X

missed it much and really we had
supposed it was dead, but like its

dead.
