BOYCOTT ON THE BANK NOTES.
SECRETARY CARLISLE TELLS OF
ITS EFFECT.


He Says II VIII Not Cut Any Figure
With the Treasury or Its COndi-
ttOn-NntiOnaI bank Notes As BE-
tween individuals Not n Legal
Tender-StrIpped of All Technical
Surroundings 1t Is boycott
Against the Government Itself.
Washington. July 19-The publication
of Grand Master Workman Sovereign's
boycott against national bank notes nat
urally attracted a great deal of attention
and was very generally discussed as TO
its effect if any, upon the condition of
the treasury and the circulation of money
and the payment Of obligations. Secretary
Carlisle said that the boycott would not
effect the treasury department or its
condition.
National bank notes, it was stated, as
between individuals. were not legal ten
der and could, If offered by one individ-
uaI TO another. be declined without in the
least impairing the validity of the debt.
The same is true of gold and silver GER
t!hcates. neither of which are legal ten
der, but simply the representative of a
gold or silver dollar, which is a legal
tender between individuals and between
the government and individuals. But
either national bank notes or the certiE-
Gates would be redeemed on presentation
at the treasury with legal tender. In the
case of a national bank note the bank
of issue could put II again in circulation
or allow II to be retired, as IL chose.
Treasury officials express the opinion
that while a general and ironclad boycott
Of national bank notes by labor unions
would perhaps, cause temporary embdr-
rassment it could have no permanent ef-
feet, as stripped Of all technical surround
ings, 1t was a boycott against the govern
ment itself, or a portion OF its citizens
which was, in itself, they said, an alb
surdity.
Whatever objections, it was pointed out
that may exist against the national bank
system under the present law, could only
be remedied by a repeal or modification
Of those laws, and not by boycott, as an
attack on the system such as that insti-
tuted by Grand Master Sovereign resolves
itself into an attack on the government
itself

Politics in Kinds County, Miss, ns
Hot AS the Rays of the sun.
Jackson, Miss, July 19.-HindS county
holds primary election tomorrow to elect
delegates to a county convention to meet
Aug. 1, to select delegates to the state
convention and also to express a choice
for United States senator and settle a
contest for county officers not filled at the
first primary held two weeks since.
The war is over the selection of dele
gates to the county convention. Kinds
county has seven candidates for state Of
fees, but it is narrowed down to fight
between Capt. Johnston, candidate for at
torney general, and Col. Power, candidate
for secretary Of state. 1t has been long
time since Kinds county was involved in
such a tremendous struggle as is now on
between the friends of these two gentle
men All other aspirants have been lost
sight of. The candidates for United states
senator are not thought of, and the as
pirants for county honors have been lost
in the shuttle. Capt. Johnston is the pres
ent attorney general, while Col Power
Is one of the proprietors of the Clarion
Ledger.

Washington, July 19.-Secretary Car

EXPRESS an opinion as to the effect on

5rawals OF gold for redemption purposes,
the treasury has lost about S1.5000OO. In
that line, however. gold gains from the

that the net loss to the gold reserve is
only about S67O.OOO The fact that such
large gold shipment is now made.

lt is now commanding. $3.50 and over, it
Is calculated at the department that it
would cost $500 to go into the New York
market and buy exchange for $1,000 900

The cost of export, If the gold is taken
from the New York sub-treasury and ac-
tually sent by steamer, 1t is figured, would
cost the exporter only about 1880, or even
less for every S1,O00,OO0. With the market
Ia this condition, treasury officials can
only hope for the best, which is that the
commercial demand for gold for export
will cease. This they expect will take
place with the movement OF the crops this
fall, If not before.
II Is asking no more and taking no less
from anybody. 1t has also been approach
ed by several parties who have practical
ly said that until exchange was sold by
the syndicate to them at lower rates than
$3.50 they would ship gold. To these par
ties the reply has been that $3.50 was
fair rate and that lower rate could not
be made 10 one and not to all Any one
who did not like the rate and thought
better RESULTS couid be attained by ex-
porting gold was at liberty TO ship gold.
The syndicate has not reduced it's rate to
any one IN order to prevent gold from be-
Ing shipped and If 1t reduced to any one

New York, July 19.-The bond syndicate's
position in the matter of gold shipments
Is aid to be as follows: The syndicate is
selling bills to all who want them on the
basis of $3.50 for demand exchange"

Shadow" Maber, were billed to spar
twenty-five rounds before the Riverside
Athletic Club tonight The contest end
ed just before the close of the seventh
round, AIaber being knocked out by a left
hand blow on the jaw.
Aaber had decidedly the best of the "go"
up to the time he received his quietus. 1t
had been a slugging match throughout,
but both men were in prime condition and
gamely took their punishment. In q gen.
eral mix up in the seventh round, Maber
was slow in breaking away, and as he
stepped back he dropped his guard. Quick
as a flash, Young Corbett' took advan-
tage of the opening and landed a stinging
blow on his opponents jaw. Before Maber
had regained his feet Referee Charley
White of New York had counted him out.
As a preliminary to the star event,
Chris johnson of this city met Tommy
West of Chicago in what was intended
to be an S-round bout. Two minutes and
fifty seconds of the first round had been
ticked off, when West caught Johnson
on the point Of his jaw and he remained
on the floor until supported to his corner
by his second.
William Brady, Corbett's manager. an
nouhced that he would back West for
5000 to fight Jack McAuliffe.

They Are Perfecting an Organiza-

tiOn and VIII Fight Brice.
Columbus, o., July 19-There was a Sc
cret conference of the free silver demo-
Gratis of this state here to-day. 1t was not
intended that the fact should become
known and the meeting was held in the
law Office of Allen w. Thurman. There
were about thirty persons present and they
had most all left the city before it leaked
out that there was a silver conference on.
Mr.. Thurman said tonight when asked
about II: I'VE have been effecting a
state organization for some time. That
fact has been generally known. We have
it now about perfected. At the meeting
to-day there We're delegates present from
every district in the state. There were
also others present. I do not care to give
the names for publication for that would
give our enemies an unfair advantage. We
are sure of the silver sentiment in every
congressional district and are greatly en-
couraged. 1t was resolved to spare no pains
to elect a delegate TO the state convention
who is in favor of the free coinage OF sill
yer wherever it is possible to do so. We
shall carry the fight to Springfield and the
question of free silver will come up in the
convention no matter what action the
committee on platform may take. And
we think we have a good chance TO win
the fight, too. We are not at all dis
couraged.
lone of the most important actions of
the conference to-day was the adoption,
unanimously, of resolution to oppose the
return of Calvin S. Brice TO the Senate.
No matter what the result cf our fight
for free silver may be, we will work to
defeat him for the Senate. We may have
to take up a goldbug to do this, but we
are determined to defeat Mr.. Brice. All
this we propose to do by working in the
Democratic party"

the people at the election in 1885,
The Issue is between the gold standard,
gold bonds and a contracting currency on
the one side, and bimetallic standard. no
bonds and a sufficient currency.
Believing that the time has come when

The return of the Right Hon, Herbert
IL. Asquith. home secretary in the late
ministry. by his constituents in East
Fireshire by a greatly increased major
ity over that which he received in 1928,
has gladdened the sinking hearts of the
liberals and the election OF Sir 7. d. Car
michael to the Midlothian seat. long &C.
cupied by Mr. Gladstone, has stil further
iessened the weight Of their sorrow.
The government had confidently ex-
pected that the wave which swept John
Morley out Of his seat for Newcastle
would also overwhelm Mr.. Asquith and
they were likewise sanguine that the
Grand Old Mans seat would fall 10 the
unionists while the liberals were mere
~ hopeful of saving one or perhaps both
of these seats from the wreck of their
former majority in the House.
The returns form the Eastern Fifeshire
and Midlothian division have therefore
greatly relieved their feelings. They cam
not see in the salvage OF two seats from
the sea of political adversity sufficient
cause for an ebullition of rejoicing, but
they realize that the result has greatly
lghtened their burden of humiliation,
especially in their retention of the seat
for Midlothian, which the unionlsts made
the most strenuous efforts TO capture. 1t
is true that Mr.. Gladstone s majority in
1898 was 79O, while that Of Mr.. Carmichael
is only 439. but in view of the reduced
liberal vote and the sweeping away of
maJOrities everywhere they are well sat
ished with the result and take comfort in
the assertion that had Mr. Gladstone him
self been their candidate the old majority
would have been retained, If not increas-
ed. However true this might have been,
these two successes, together with the
gains they have made generally In to-day's
polling over the voting Of the previous
days. have had the effect TO put the lib
erals in a mood OF almost cheerful resig-
