HAS AN EvENTFUL HISTORY.
The Steamer BaSnmoor, Which Hni
Been Wrecked.

Ine steamer b0wnMOOF, n1Ch
Been Wrecked.
SAN FRANCISCO. August 29.-The
steamer Bawnmoor. which was wrecked
yesterday near Marshfeld. Oregon, left
san Francisco two weeks ago with tre-
nendous deck load. 1t was generally stat
ed on the water front that with such a
heavy weight so far from her keel she
could not he safely handled in storm.
She went to Portland with oil, after which
she went to Comox for coal.
Capt. Alexander Woodsde said the dey
before starting north that the deck load on
his vessel would not bother him in the
least. as he could put six hundred tons of
water ballast into tanks in her hold II 1t
was necessary to steady the Bawnmoor.
The Bawnmoor has had a sensational
history since she came to this country. The
steamer was built in 1889 at Oumbarton
and went into the fretghting business be-
tween Liverpool and the River Platte. She
came to the Pacific coast under charter to
carry coal for John Rosenfeld Sons, and
went to Nanimo. The steamer arrived in
San Francisco for the first time January ),
1898, and soon after that Capt. Woodside
was involved in labor troubles.
AT Nanimo the sailors tried to kidnap
some of the Bawnmoor's men. Capt. Wood
side went after the kidnapers, and lodged
several CT the leaders in prison.
In June of that year thirty pounds of
dynamite in a valise was found III the
Rawnmoor's hold. A cooked revolver had
been set SO that the rolling of the vessel
was apt to discharge 1t, and with it the
dynamite. Scarcely mad the Bawnmoor es-
capped this plot tnan more dynamite was
placed in her hold.
This second batch was discovered while
the steamer was at Nanimo. and was turn
ed over to the British Columbia authori-
ties On Saturday, the Sth of the following
July, the Bawnmoor went on the rocks in
a fog. precisely as she. did this time. She
struck near Point Cordet on the Mendo-
cino coast, and came near sinking.
Advices from the wreck of the steamer
Bawnmoor near Bandon, Oregon, are that
twenty-eight of the crew of thirty were
taken of in safety. One of the crew was
killed and another fatally injured. The
steamer will be total loss as she is lying
on the rocks in a heavy sea and pounding
to pieces.

DETROIT, August 23.-The report tele-
graphed from this city to the affect that
the yacht Pilgrim had been wrecked in st.
Clair lake during last evenings storm,
and that twenty-five people were lost, is
without foundation. The yacht Is lying
at her moorings in this city and has met
with no accident of any kind. The rumor
is probably traceable to the accident oppc-
site Marysvlie st. Clair lake last even
ing, IN which four people were drowned.
SYRACUSE, n. Y, August 29-The re-
port that three men were drowned in
Onondasa lake yesterday during a storm
Is unfounded. No empty rowboat was pick
ed UP by the steamer. as reported.

10 advocating tie funding OF green
bscks end Sherman treasury notes Ine
uresiaent iu his message failed to make
especial mention OF silver ceElinSates' n
like omission is conspicuous in The re-
port Of the secretary of the treasury.
The total of g-eepbscks and treasury
notes is about s5OO,O0O,OO0. There are
about $3.50, 100000 of silver certlhcstes'
,Sbicb are redeemsble in sil'er dollars.
What is to become of these silver certih-
Gates when the other two forms OF paper
currency ere retired? 1t may be SAID
that there is no law requiring the tfea-
sury TO redeem either silver dollars or
silver certificates with gold. Neither
is there law requiring the treasury 10
redeem preenback or treasury notes In
gold. The treasury rule that all Kinos

in the silver act of 1878. which makes

In the secretary's report becomes su9-
gestlve in view of the fact that no provis-

ance of silver certificates Of parity with

exempt the government from oblisa-

and it is scarcely necessary to suggest
that such system is impossible so long

notes are kept In circulation ana are
redeemable in gold by the government
itself upon presentation"
What is to prevent the $3.50, 100000 of
silver certificates from becoming an end
less chain to draw gold from the treas
ury unless the connection between gold
dollars and silver dollars be severed? Is
such a policy IN contemplation? Ii not,
Why not include silver certificates IN the

GOVERNOR MCKINLEY, ex-President
Harrison, Speaker Reed, Governor Nor

son are ali strong presidential timber

beyond preaGventure, one of them will
be called to the White House in the
near future. All have followers In Ari-
IONA and efforts to carry the territory
in their direction will undoubtedly be
made by their respective friends. We
do not, however, think it prudent to
commit the territory to the interests OF
any one man at this distance from the
national convention. History is being
made fast and Arizona can afford to
stand by and wait. Great national
questions are before the people and
speeches, resolutions and inquiries re-
lative to the restoration of currency to
its normal condition will follow within
the next few months, and out of it all
will evolve the man. Silver mining is a
leading industry in Arizona and if nur-
tured by remoOetization the wealth Of
the territory would double in two
years. Without the restoration of sill
yer to its proper place and the enhance
nent OF its purchasing power even state
hood will appreciably be barren of re-
suits. The friend of silver is the friend
of Arizona and it is such friend Arizona
ls most in need.

territory shall have an opportunity to
enter.-GRZette.

THE ERA OF CBEAPNESS.

Henry King, in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, discusses the causes OF the
cheapness of things, and from among
them eliminates scarcity OF money.
''The bank vaults" he says, ''are choked
with idle millions awaiting chances OF in
vestmeBt, and interest rates have gone
down like all other prices" While it is
true thdt comparatively small amounts
OF money may be procured now at lower
rates OF interest than formerly, the fact
is not evidence of the plentifulness of
money, but of the multiplication of cred
its. The banks are not full of idle MIL
lions. There is very little real money in
sight anywhere. There is enough money
to cash any securities that are presented
IN ordinary times, and this cash Will be
handed over to any person who offers
good security. When a capitalist can
multiply his actual money by ten be can
efford to take lower rates of interest
than if each dollar of his loans represent
ed a dollar in money. One source Of En-
glands wealth is the interest she draws
on credits 1t is estimated that the world
owes England $4,000, 0OO,OO Yet
there is not one-tenth Of this
amount of gold money in England.
There is enough to meet such demands
for gold as are made while times
are good, but no one imagines that
each dollar of this vast amount
of credit represents a dollar in coin.
The English investors are drawing in
terest on s6O.OOO,OOO0OO with less than
81, ZOO, 900, 600 in gold in the whole coun-
try. The United States is supposed to
owe foreign investors about $500 Co.,
600. 1t is all payable in gold. Yet this
$4,000, 100000 on which we are paying
interest is three fourths of all the gold
money in the world. If we should buy
up gold enough to pay our foreign debts
with there would remain about $1,000
100000 with which to pay the $780,
000,0 00 which the several governments
Of Europe owe. The Globe Democrat
correspondent doubtless distinguishes
in his own mind between money and
credits, bot he does not make the die
tinction clear to the public.-S. F. Bull
l4tin.
