Lydia Thompson. Crushed BIZ the Idaho,
Applies to the Inspector.

W. II. Bergman. pilot of the steamer
Lydia Thompson. which was in collision
in the bay with the steamer Idaho last
Friday morning, has applied to William
J. Bryant, United States local inspector
of bulls. for an investigation. The Thomp
son was undergoing repairs yesterday and
will go out on her regular run as usual
Her injuries consisted of a bump on the
port side a little forward of midships. and
a broken plank in the same location. but
down nearer the water The steamer was
badly shaken up. and If she had not been
strongly built she would have suffered
serious injury.
The people on the Thompson refuse TO
discuss the merits of the collision, but
Pilot Bergman is said to claim that the
Idaho ran into the Thompson. instead Of
the Thompson running into the Idaho. In
support of this theory il is pointed out
that the Thompson was injured on her
side. while the Idaho had her stem broken.
The Thompson pulled out from her dock
Friday morning about o'clock and was
heading down Sound when the Idaho ap-
peared some distance away. coming into
port. The pilot OF the Thompson is said
10 have signaled the Idaho to pass TO the
right and received an affirmative answer.
The steamers approached near together.
and the pilot OF the Idaho gave two
whistles Pilot Bergman, on the Thomp-
son. thought il impossible to pass to the
left. and Immediately blew the danger
whistle and had the steamer stopped
The jar following the contact of the
boats was sufficient 10 make the Thomp-
son culver from end to end and 10 throw
the passengers out of their berths

THE CIRCULAR REAPPEARS.
Anonymous Charges Against DIR. Ford
Tho GeOrge CORRESPONDENCE.

AGAIN the circular against DR.. I. 3.
Ford distributed broadcast during the
Nichols trial few months ago has made
its appearance IN this city. 1t IS conspicu-
ously bordered with Scriptural quotations.
and bears as its heading the words, I'm

ports to be an abstract OF some letters
ana documents brought TO light during an
investigation Of DR.. w. p. George al Kan
sas City. The first document which II
quotes is long letter from DR.. Ford 10
Rev. Horace c. Stanton of the Presby-
terrain church at Kansas City. The letter
is dated December -, 1894, and IS written
apparently in reply to a letter from Mr.
Mr.. Stanton 10 Mr.. Ford making inquiry
as to the character and standing of Dr.
George and the time of his service as pas
tor of the First Methodist church in this
city. In the course of his letter DR.. Ford
expresses surprise that the Presbyterians
Of Kansas City have engaged DR. George
as stated supply. Denying a statement
from DR.. George apparently quoted in Mr..
Stanton's letter, DIR. Ford asserts that DR..
George DID not serve out his fun term as
pastor of the First Methodist church here,
and asserts that If DR.. George still claims
membership in the Methodist church he

made such a statement. The circular also
contains a quotation from the minutes
Of the Puget Sound VI. +. conference. OF

mineral resources OF the United States
for the calendar year Of 1894 shows a
great decline from the output Of 1898
due, the report says, mainly to the fnan-
clal conditions, but also to special feat
ures which effected the net result. The
most notable of these was the strike of
the bituminous coal miners, accounting
largely for the greatly decreased pro-
ductlon and increase in price for part of
the year. The strike naturally increased
the use Of anthracite, which partly made
up for the decreased demand for this
substance, due to depression of manu-
features. The low price of silver is re-
sponsible for the decreased production.
The consumption of petroleum exceeded
the production, greatly decreasing the
stocks at the wells and increasing the
prices. The total product war valued at
s524,955.131. The total value of non
metallic mineral products was 1906, 1855.
343, metallic s218, 169,78S and inspect
fed mineral products estimated at SILL
100000.

STATISTICS showing the amount of III,

STATISTICS showing the amount of the
government receipts and expenditures
per head of population over a period of
decade and a half are given in the last
report of the chief, of the bureau of
statistics of the treasury department.
According to the figures compiled by
him, the receipts for the year 1894 show
the lowest amount per capita for the en-
tire period, being only s4.455. The
highest figures we're reached in 1882,
when the amount was S7.864. The ex-
penditures per capita, on the other hand,
reached a high figure last year, viz:
S5.346, the largest amount for any year
with the exception of 1891 and 1898, the
latter year furnishing the largest amount
namely, $3.50. The low-water mark
was reached in 1885, when the expendi-
lures were S4210 per capita. The ex-
pendltures on account of persons reach
ed the highest exception of that year,
the year 1894 furnished the highest
amount per capita under that date.

THE opening Of the Kiel canal Is an
event in German history, and after the
labors of about 1885, 1000 marks $685.
5OO,OOO) the great canal which joins the
Baltic sea to the German ocean is ready
for use. The whole canal is lighted by
electricity, said to be the longest dis
lance in the world illuminated con-
t%lnuously that way. The light furnish
ed is powerful enough to enable naviga-
tors to plainly discern the route by night.
The purpose of the Baltic canal is a two
fold one-commercial and naval. AS for
the commercial advantages, they result
plainly enough, since the shortening of
a voyage, hitherto made around the
Skager rock is considerable. The
military advantages. accruing lie IN the
Fact that henceforth, in times of war,
the German navy cannot be rent or
kept apart; provisioning of either the
Baltic or North sea fleets cannot be inter
rupted or rendered impossible.

of 1854 miles, being the third highest
in the list.
