and up to the beginning of the year 1892,
We find the total production of gold in
the union to be Sl,900,000,OO0. These
figures are taken from the report OF the
superintendent of tho mint for 1891, and
are authoritative.
Now. where is the gold: The mint
report for 1891 shows that the total
amount OF gold In coin and bars, in the
United States on the last day of Decem-
Der, 1891, was S6S8, ,665,2ll. This was
what was known to remain in the coun-
try, in the vaults of the mint and
treasury, and in the possession OF banks.
Besides this amount $51,OOO,OOO was
known to have been exported to foreign
countries, and S3,50O,OO0 to have been
worked up by goldsmiths for plate and
jewelry, and by goldheaters for dentists
foil and gilders' leaf Therefore, out of
S1,9OOOOOOOO of gold produced in the
United States up to the end OF 1891, it
was held that only about S689, 100000 re.
mained in the country in the
form of coin and bullion, while
the enormous sum Of Sl.2l1, 100000
had entirely disappeared. Where can it
be? Without doubt a good deal Of it
was sent to Europe. We have the gov
ernment official returns. They sho v eX-

The American section Of the socialist

were adopted declaring that the wage
earners have come to the inevitable con-

Mayor and Mrs. Webster Painfully Burned
Last Nigh, by II Lamp Explosion.
There was an accident at the resi-
dence of Mayor Webster on the North
side last evening which resulted in the
severe injury Of Mrs. Webster and some
painful burns on Mr.. Websters hands.
Mrs. Webster was heating some water on
an alcohol lamp, which exploded, setting
fire to her wrapper. She was quickly en-
veloped in flames and was saved from
greater injury by the prompt action Of
her husband, who threw a woolen
blanket about her, smothering the
flames. She was very painfully burned
about the neck breast, and arms. A
physician was summoned and the mayor
and Mrs. Webster were resting as com
fortably as could be expected when

CAN THEY BE COUNTED:
\ Dispute Likely To Arise over Certain
People. Party Votes,

Ieopic Iar'y Noles;
There was rumor current yesterday
that Mr.. Athey, republican candidate
for clerk of the district court. had de
termincd to dispute Mr.. Cockril's title
to the peoples party votes received by
him in case the latter should have Il
majority on the face of the returns. In
quiry by a TRIBUNE reporter developed
the fact that Mr.. Cockrll's right to these
votes is to be contested on the ground
that he did not receive IA regular nomina-
ton at the hands Of the peoples party
convention, but was named afterwards
by Mr.. Daniel Mckay Of the executive
committee.
dispute, and many lawyers and others
said that il was extremely doubtful in
their minds that the candidate Of one
party could receive the votes Of other
parties under such circumstances.
The matter has stirred quite p
large ripple of excitement among the
politicians. as it appears that Mr., Cock
rill is not the only candidate who will be
affected if the law operates as many br
levc it will. 1t will tit the case Of GER
tain republican candidates as well as
democrats, and may strike IL BOBBY or
other birds that are flying rather high
Just now.
When seen about the matter Mr.
Cockrill said he had made a good fight
and if he could be defeated on techni-
calty of this sort he would not let it
worry him. He supposed it was al!
right to accept the endorsement of the
peoples party as he did, and has no
apologies to make TO anybody.

The Ecclesiastical Strife at Oakland

The Ecclesiastical Strife at Oakland
orowsin Bitterness.
The fight between Rev. Hopkins
and the vestry of st. Matthew's par.
ish, for possession of the church
building, continues with undated
interest. Last week the vestry
carefully nailed up the church in
tending to maintain their canonical
rights by keeping Mr.. Hipkins
from officiating. On Sunday last
the reverend gentlem a II
took n crowbar and broke open the
doors and held service as usual.
The action, so contrary to ex-
pectation, so angered the vestry
that the most vigorous methods
would have been use had they not
received q letter from Bishop Paret
asking them to refrain from fur
thsf IsgslAction for Q week or 90
he giving them to understand, il
not promising, that in the mean
time he would bring about what
they were striving for.
The vestry having no other OBJ
ject in view than the removal
Of Mr.. Hopkins, have waived any
action and will await Developments
It seems that Mr.. Hopkins has in
duced Mrs. Tucker to assert her
rights over the property, and since
there are now two deeds, the mat
ter can only be settled by adjudica.
ton.
A suit in ejectment would settle
the right to the property but both
sides are hesitating about entering
such suit. The feeling on both
sides is intense and by their action
seemingly Of q most questionable
character. Both Mr.. Hipkins and
the vestry are gaining an unenvia-
bic notoriety and the church n
great injury.
