President Cleveland Says He Is the
Friend of Silver.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-President Cleve-
land has taken occasion to deny that he is
a mOnOmetallist. and TO declare that he is
in favor of the utilization of silver so far
a. it can possibly be done with safety to
sound currency.
This statement regarding the Presidents
position was made by Governor Thomas J..
Jones of Alabama. Although Governor
Jones admitted that the President had said
much besides on the silver question, he
said he did not feel at liberty to make any
statement to the public. Governor Jones
said he did not think the President or any
body else could tell just how Congress was
going to vote on the silver matter.
Foreign banking-houses will not admit
that there is any chance for the immediate
export of gold, but other persons say that

cording 10 well-infOrmed bank presidents
the bank statement tomorrow will be a
very favorable one.

MARE ISLAND WORK.
Nearly Half a Million to Be Expended
on the Hartford.

VALLEJO, Sept. 22.-Information which
was received here to-day has been of the
most gratifying nature, as it promises
much for Vallejo and means that nearly
S500,000 will be circulated in the navy
yard town during the coming winter.
Fearing that Eastern shipyards would
make fight for the repair of the Hartford
10y contract. subletting it to some other
firm on this coast, a dispatch was sent by
a citizens committee here TO the Califor-
MIA delegation at Washington, urging that
the delegation request of Secretary her
bert that all needed repairs be made on
the Hartford at Mare Island Navy-yard.
In reply to this dispatch the following was
received to-day:
"WAsHINGToN, Sept. 22-George j.
Campbell Jr.: Have been attending to
matter for weeks. 1t is already decided
that the boilers and all piping are to be
built at Mare Island and the machinery at
New York. We got all but $50. 900 of the
$500. 900 to be spent on the Hartford.
as. G. HLBoRN."
By this dispatch it will be seen that the
California delegation has not been idle,
for it has undoubtedly convinced the Sec
rotary of the Navy that Mare Island can
compete with any outside firm or Eastern
naVy-yard.

draw him TO the line, where a little game
would have relieved Whitman of his
money. Two well-knOwn sporting men,
Frank Brookshire and c. Browny, were
