General Blanchard Investigating the Ille-

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 23.-General John
c. Blanchard, of Michigan, a special
examiner of the interior department,
has established headquarters at the
United States land office in this city
and will examine cases of fraud In OBJ
taining government lands, as reported
to the land office. General Blanchard
has already examined several cases and
has made his report to the interior de-
partment, where frauds have been
found In lands acquired by several Eng
lish syndicates, in which they would get
persons to file on claims and after a
pretended living on them transfer the
title to the syndicate.
"The Jarvis Conklin Mortgage Com
'pany has done some of this kind of busi-
ness,n said Mr.. Blanchard, "and have
affidavits from persons who swore false
ly for these companies and obtained
lands in fraudulent way"

Man Wants Himself Published az an
HabituaI Drunkard.
While busily engaged with his duties
Secretary Mannix, of the mayors office,
received call from neatly dressed
and matronly appearing woman who
informed him that her husband wanted
the saloonkeepers of Minneapolis noti-
fed of the fact that he is an habitual
drunkard, and not to sell him any liquor
under penalty of having their licenses
revoked.
Mr.. Mann.x thought the request
strange one purporting as it did to
come from the man himself, saying that
he would like to confer with her hus-
band before carrying it into effect.
The latter was seated in cutter in
front of the mayors office, and Mr..
Mannix was invited to step outside and
talk with him on the subject, which he
proceeded to do.
"What my wife has told you is true,
he said, "and l want you to notify the
saloon men not to sell me any liquor
You see, have a passion for drink
and when l get where it is the appetite
beco nes SO strong that | cannot
resist it."
This settled it, and the order wa.
thereupon issued.

Negroes and whites Refuse to MIX In
the Schools.
KANSAS CITY, Jan. ga race war on
a small scale is brewing at Merriam,
Kan, seven miles southeast of Kansas
City. The trouble is caused by negro
parents who want their children to at
tend the same school with white chill
dren. Shawanee, one mile from Mer-
riam, has made provision for separate
schools for white and Negro children
in the same building. The negro chill
dren from Merriam have been sent to
the Shawnee school, the Merriam dis
trlct paying the tuition for them. The
Merriam negroes resented this, and
have been making threats of trouble.
At the same time the Shawnee negroes
are demanding mixed school, and say
they will insist on their children being
allowed to study in the same room with
the white children. Some of the me-
groes held a meeting near Shawnee
yesterday, and threatened an outbreak
this morning, but the white parents
were on hand, and thus far there has
been no serious trouble.

GOSSIP BUSY WITH Bo MEN.

Rumors That Secretary Carlisle and
Chief Justice Fuller May Resign.
Secretary John G. Csrlisle has until
the first of next month to decide
whether he will continue to earn $4,000
a year as secretary of the treasury or
make $25, 900 year as president and
legal adviser of big financial institu-
tion which is now being organized by
some of the leading capitalists of Ohio
and adjoining states. Secretary Car
Isle has consulted with a number of
his friends and nearly all of them have
told him that he ought to accept the
offer. Mr. Carlisle is not millionaire,
but has never been very ambitious for
wealth. Mrs. Carlisle is opposed to her
husbands leaving public life, having
ambitions for him politically. She be-
lieves that he will yet reach the White
House. Some of Mr.. Carlisle's friends
say that he should continue as ssecretary
of the treasury until the financial diff
ficulties and the tariff legislation are
arranged, when it would be good time
for him to retire temporarily from
public life. There Is also a report,
which appears to originate from gossip
in administration circles, that Chief
Justice Fuller contemplates retiring
from the supreme bench and that Sec
retary Carlisle will be appointed to
secceed him. Whether there is any
truth in the rumor cannot be learned
at this time.

The Chinsman Is Fast Disappearing In
the City of Missoula.
Whether it is hard times or whether
it is the result of change in public SEN
timert in Mlssoula, Montana, does not
appear, but it is certain that the China
man is losing his grip in that town, and
while he may still be doing some busi-
ness, he is gradually yielding to the
pressure which public opinion is bring
ing to bear upon him, and where there
were six months ago five Chinese res
taurants in town, there is now but one,
and that is--'t doing much business. If
the steam laundries would only restrain
their tendency to lose buttons and tear
buttonholes, the Mongolian laundryman
would soon go the way of his compatriot
in the restaurant business and fold his
tent and steal away. That seems to be
the last hold the heather has on the
community and if the laundrymen will
only take the hint their business will
improve at the expense of the China
man.

Favorable Report by One Majority.
The house committee on coinage,
weights and measures has ordered a
favorable report op the Bland bill, pro-
viding for the coinage of the silver bull
lion now held in the treasury. The vote
was to s, strictly silver and antisilver.
The bill provides that the secretary of
the treasury shall Immediately Issue
silver certificates against the signior
age silver, amounting to $55, 1866, ,671,
which shall be Immediately available
for the payment of current expenses,
and that the signiorage silver shall be
coined as fast as possible into dollars,
to be held in the treasury for the re-
demption of the certificates. The Sec
ond section provides that the remainder
of the silver bullion purchased under
the Sherman act shall be coined as fast
as practicable, and the dollars shall be
held for the redemption of treasury
notes issued for its purchase. The GER
tlficates are to be cancelled as fast as
the silver Is coined, and silver certih-
Gates may be issued on such coin. Mr..
Bland will report the bill at the earliest
possible moment, the committee being
privileged in that respect. The de-
tailed vote stood as follows:

GOLD PRODUCTION OF THE WORLD
Treasury Onicials Estimate 1t at $780,
100000 for the Calendar Year 1898.

Treasury OniciaIs Estimate 1t at $780,
600, 900 for the Calendar Year 1898.
rn-AsHINaIoN, Jan. 21.-A production
of gold throughout the world amounting
TO sisG 900, 900 is the latest estimate of
the treasury officials for the calendar
year 1898. This is S5,000,0oo more than
the estimate made last November and
prblished in these dispatches, which at
nracted so much attention in England
and on the continent, and is very nearly
the largest production for any single
wear in the history of the world. The
great increase in the Wltwatersrendt,
region of South Africa, which has ad-
waneed by leaps and bounds from pro-
.duction of less than 5000, 600 in 1891
10 1926, 600 900 in 1892, and S31 100000
for 1898. Mr.. Preston, the acting d.
rehtor of the mint, has requested spe-
.cial report through American consular
representatives in Africa on this re-
markable output.
The United States will show an in
crease of nearly S2,0oo,000 according to
the best of figures which have yet been
received, advancing the product for the
year from $4,000, 900 to S35,00O,000.
Several of the large states have not yet
been heard from as TO the exact details
of production, but the deposits at the
re6neries have been much greater than
last year and justify the estimate of an
increased production. Colorado reports
an increase of 10000 ounces, or about
81 900 900; Montana shows gain of
II 600 ounces, or $1,000 Arizona has
gain of 100000, and New Mexico of
$50, ,00G. These gains are partially of
set by the loss of 1900 ounces, or about
$3.50 900 In Nevada, but will be increased
,by the returns from California, Oregon,
and Washington, which have not yet
come in.

IN NEED OF SILVER
European Nations Beginning to Feel
the Want of Small Coin.
SCHEMING TO GET MORE
Plnp for a Monetary Union to BE Sub
mitted to Foreign Nations for an
Agreement.

LONDON, Jan. 19.-The correspondent
of the Standard at Berlin says Those
persons interested in promoting the
new monetary conference have pre-
pared a plan for submission to the gov
ernments most closely concerned with
the silver question. The plan will pro-
pose the United States, France, En-
gland, and Germany for monetary
union upon the following basis: The
United States to buy and use for cur
rency purposes $4,000, 900 of silver
yearly, and France, representing the
Latin union, to purchase 20,000,0O0
francs worth. England and Germany
are to withdraw all the gold coinage
and paper money under the value of
pound sterling and buy $3.50, 900 worth
of silver yearly in the meantime to
issue notes under a pound in value
against the full amount on deposit for
silver coinage. India Is to resume un-
limited coinage of silver. The price of
silver is to be fixed by the countries
mentioned, several of the persons say
at 4d per ounce above the India rupee
price, and to be alterable only at the
beginning of each year. If the average
London price of silver falls at any time
10 per cent below the convention price
the members of the union are to have
the option to withdraw and dissolve the
union. This plan will be accompanied
by long series of remarks and COM
ments, which will include document
attempting to prove that the accept
ance of the proposed regulations by
England and Germany is perfectly COM
patible with their maintaining gold
standard and attempting to explain
why the convention should fix the price
of silver by the necessity of offering he
owners of silver mines profit sufficient
to induce them to make limited output.

FRENCH FAMILY COMMITS SUICIDE.


Unable to Earn Enough to Live Three
Persona Resolve to Die.
PARIS, Jan. 23.-The city was stirred
by news of the suicide of M. Caubet,
brother of the late chief of police, and
his wife and daughter. Caubet was 60
years old, his wife of about the same
age, and his daughter 30. They lived
in pretty and comfortable fiat in the
Rue des Martyrs. Recently Caubet had
lost heavily in business. The daughter
had tried to support the family by CIV
ing music lessons, but could not earn
enough for them. AS matters grew
worse, all three resolved to die. They
sold some of their furniture and used
the money to buy sumptuous dinner.
After eating they paid and dismissed
their one servant. They signed a
paper explaining their troubles and
their motives in taking their lives, then
pasted papers over the cracks in the
doors and windows and lighted two
charcoal fires. Each swallowed vial
of laudanum. All three died painlessly.

evangelical minister while arranging
the rapidly spreading method of popu-

good company, and some of his hearers

however, and IL appears to have come

kitchen to their other Offices and few of
the new churches are without kitchens.
One of the first churches to have kitch-
ems was the Ruggles Street Baptist,
which is perhaps the largest institution

in this church is fitted up like those in
the city houses. At the monthly socia.

Helena Business Man Looking Tor One
of His Collectors.
j. E. Conyngham, who runs an in
stallment business in Helena, was in
Butte in search of a defaulting col
lector named G. e. Lee. Conyngham
claims that Lee got the best of him to
the amount of $500 or S400 in collec-
tions made in Butte and Great Falls
during November and December. Lee
is also collector for d. Appleton & Co.,
to whom he is under bonds for $1,000,
but Conyngham is not protected by
any bond. He desired Acting County
Attorney Booth TO have a warrant is
sued for the arrest of Lee for embezzle-
ment, but, as his whereabouts were un-
known, Booth did not deem it the
proper step in the case. Conyngham
received letter few days ago from
Lees wife, who is in Fort Madison,
Iowa, in which she expressed confidence
in her husband and assured Conyngham
that Lee would turn up all right with
the collections. The matter has been
placed in the hands of police officers.
They will try and locate the man.
