The mine officials came on 4 special

IS eAsEO On SILVER.
The White Metal the Circulating Medf
UNI of japan.

The White Metal the Circulating Medi-
um of japan.
Japan is doing all she can to keep sill
yer in the air She has to pay for the
goods she imports from America in gold,
and the silver question is far more
important one there than it has ever
been in the United States. The country
is now on silver basis, and there Is
sure to be general rise in the prices
of everything. At the present writing
the exchange is going up every day and
a gold dollar in Toxic looks as big as
the cover of a Japanese umbrella. Such
foreigners as are there who get their
incomes from America are rich through
the fall of silver, and they now get two
dollars for every one that is sent out to
them from home. Clothing is wonder
fully cheap, and all English goods can
be bought for the same prices they bring
in London. The tailors are Chinese,
but they give you good cuts and You
do not need to pay if the clothes do not
lit you. You can get good business
suit of English goods made to order for
about ten American dollars. Patent
leather shoes made to order cost 81 so,
and a fur-lined overcoat with beaver
collar and cuffs can be bought for about
$50 in gold. You could not buy the
cloth, to say nothing of the fur Innings,
for that amount in America. Ladies'
dresses are equally cheap and you get
wonderfully embroidered gowns of silk
crepe for less than the ordinary street
dress costs You In the United States.
The reduction in silver makes Won
derful profit for our missionaries and
diplomats. A missionary who is getting
ST. 600 a year has now $4,000 to spend.
The American minister to Japan, who
receives, if my memory serves me,
$l2, 900 annually, gets at least $24, 0OC
worth of value out of it, and the sala'
ries Of all of our consuls are practically
doubled by the change. An American
family living on fixed income at home
could now 60 to Japan and have twice
the comforts +. half the money.

he had said. Senator Dolph of Oregon
stated that he fully agreed with what
Senator Vest had said, but called al
tention to other Objectionable features
of the preamble to the resolution. NO
one denied the right of citizens 10
peaceably assemble to petition con-
gress or visit the capitol. His oo]ec'
ton to the resolution lay in the fact
that it va. accompanied by a lying pre-
amble. which was in effect censure OF
authorities of the District of Columbia
Senator Gray of Delaware also con-
demned the resolution.
Senator Allen defended his action IN
Introducing the resolution. He called
these gatherings "spontaneous nP1is'
ings against wrong and oppression
1t was, he said, a peaceable gathering
of men engaged in a peceable project
"Does the senator apply that to the
army of the commonweal which stole the
train from Butte and shot two deputy
marshals and whom troops of the
United States are now trying to cap
ture?" asked Wolcott.
Senator Allen refused to be drawn IN
on this ground. He declared he was
warm advocate of peace and lawful
ness. He criticised the action OF the
commissioners of the District of Colum'
bia in issuing a proclamation warning
Coxey's army against entering the
district.
At 1:45, before any action had been
taken on the resolution, Senator Harris
moved to take up the resolution provid'
ing that tomorrow and until otherwise
ordered the senate shall meet at II
O'Clock.
Senators PETER and Allen objected
to the pending resolution being delayed
and demanded an aye and noe vote.
The vote, which also showed the att
tude of the senate on Aliens ressolu'
ton, resulted Ia "a ayes to 6 noes (Allen'
Dolph, Frye, Galliuger. Kyle and PEI
fer). The senate, without division,
then agreed to the resolution and Sen
ator Harris moved to take up the
tariff bill.
