If we were getting short, they become

We cannot now help what has been
done, but we can avoid any increase of
embarrassments in future simply by stop
ping what we have so foolishly done in
the past. We had better delay in carry
ing on certain enterprises for time
rather than increase our Indebtedness
abroad. Foreign money received this
year must be returned sooner or later, and
interest dividends or profits go abroad
every year. This is source of continual
depletion and impovershment. We are
feeling the effects of it now almost disas-
trously.
The depression in our securities at the
present moment is caused by the defeat
of the resolution in the House of Repre-
sentatives authorizing the President to
issue three per cent bonds payable in gold.
The mistrust of our securities is perhaps
manufactured to give strength to our
gold monometallists, and to discourage
our gold and silver bimetallists. The
British people adopt all ways to influence
American politics. 1t would do no harm

AMERICAN SECURITIES ABROAD

The reports are to the effect that Amer.
lean securities are depressed in the Brit
ish market. The fear seems to be that the
holders will not get gold for them when the
interest or pr. ncipal is due. The holders,
therefore, want to dispose of them. Three
years ago the holders of American secu-
rites in Great Britain were compelled to
part with them in order to get gold, and
SO great was the pressure that the Bank
Of England was obliged to send over to this
coun ry and buy gold, for which the
bank paid a premium by reducing the
rate of sterling exchange. Now that
country ha secured so much of our gold
that our securities over there have de-
clined in value.
1t would be good thing for us if our
securities should all come home, or it
would have been a better thing if none
hal ever been placed on the other side of
the Atlantic. Our people have pursued a
course that could not have been improved

themselves financially entirely in the

An Evident Misconception

To the Editor of The Herald In an
editorial paragraph in your issue of today
you state that prof. Holden did not hest
tate to criticise Strawberries theories and
Lockyer's hypothesis and in contradis-
tinction presented his own views"
1t seems to me that your language does
evidently refers to the published inter-
view of the previous day, in which he
speaks with respect of Strawberries theory,
saying it is worthy of consideration. u
In regard to Lockyer's hypothesis Mr..
Holder does not profess to give his own
opinion, but states that the hypothesis
lis not accepted by astronomers for the
reason" etc, proceeding to give those
reasons. Surely, language as guarded as
that cannot fairly be construed as un.

THE HERALD'S COVER

The Herald today is enclosed in the
handsomest cover ever issued in Southern
California. 1t is triumph of the en-
graver's art and credit to those who de-
signed and executed it. The work was
done under the direction of Baumgardt &
Co., printers, and the engraving was by
the Union Photo Engraving Company,

MINERS READY TO QUIT.
Operators Refuse to Pay Over GO
Cents a Ton and Diggers Insist ON
Nine Cents More.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 5.-The coal
miners and operators of Pittsburg district
met to-day in conference, but failed to agree,
and strike will probably be ordered to-
morrow, which will affect between 5000 and
5000 men.
The new operators association met this
morning and took in twenty new members.
A discussion of the trade situation was be-
gun, but before it had proceeded far an in
terruption was caused by the entrance Of a
committee from the miners convention, who
informed the meeting of the resolution
passed by them yesterday demanding So
cents for mining, and asked that a commit
tee be appointed to confer with them on the
subject. The operators appointed such a
committee. The two committees then went
into secret session, which lasted until nearly
midnight. The result of the conference
leaves the situation just as 1T was before
the conference. Both sides insisted on their
demands-the. miners for the Columbus scale,
So cents, and the operators for 80 cents, al

President Cairns of the local district de-

last night ordering strike, and If any such
thing was done, it was not with his ap-

to 50 cents, and is the same as the present

VERY MUCH MUDDLED
AMERICAN CHURCH MISSIONARY so.
CIETY's books TANGLED.
Shortage in the Accounts of the
A Committees Statement.

NEW YORK, March 5.-There is a short
age in the accounts of the American Church
Missionary Society, and the books of the
organization have been found to be in such
confused condition that the experts are not
as yet in a position to make a detailed
statement The secretary is Rev. William
A. Newbold. of Mont Claire, N. J., and the
treasurer Henry Oakley, of New York city,
The fact that their accounts were in a
muddled condition was discovered about a
month ago and at once a special committee
was appointed to investigate the matter.
To-day meeting of the executive COM
mittee Of the society was held. This COM
nittee is composed Of representatives from
number of States, and Rev. DR.. Henry
J. Jones, of Wilkesbarre Pa, presided The
special committee presented it's report, in
which it was stated that a. shortage had
been found. The report itself the commit
tee refused to make public, but the follow
ing statement was given out: "A report
made March g. 1895, to the executive COM
snittee of the American Church Missionary
Society by its subcommittee on finance dis

ciety is just at this time peculiarly urgent,
and 1t is sincerely hoped by the committee
that the contributions just now doubly nee
essary will not be diminished at this time
of increased need"
Bishop Peterkin, of West Virginia, said
tonight, relative to the action of the ex-
ecutive committee: ''Thc irregularities re-
ferred to in this statement are such as war
rant the removal of the secretary and
treasurer from Office. The society's ex-
penditures are between $25 900 and $4,000

sums. making the auditing of the accounts
extremely difficult The society has not
been entirely crippled by these irregularf-
ties, but they extend over five or six

BLOW AT A TRUST.
Alleged ''BOodle'' Gas Measure Signed
by ChicagO's Mayor.

CHICAGO, March 5.-Mayor Hopkins last
night announced his unconditional official
approval of the Ogden gas ordinance which
has aroused warm opposition from the
civic federation and in other influential
quarters, on the ground that it is a doodle
measure. The Cosmopolitan electric ordi-
nance which has been similarly classed by
the opponents of the Ogden ordinance, was
also approved by the Mayor. In message
to the city Council accompanying his ap-
proval, Mayor Hopkins says: There Is
hardly a State in the Union in which laws
prohibiting the formation of trusts and
kindred combinations have not been passed
and the courts everywhere seem to be more
or less eng aged with judicial inquiries into
the manifold abuses incident to the estab-
lishment and continuance of these unlaw-

WASHINGTON, March 5.-with Congress-
out of the way the possible international
monetary conference for which provision
was made and delegates selected by both
houses, becomes the uppermost topic OF
speculation. The free-silver men are some-
what puzzled at Mr.. Clevelands attitude
toward 1t. They had expected that the
President would resent their action In se-
lecting their own delegates and taking
the precaution to pack the delegation
representing Congress with free-silver men.
On the contrary. Mr.. Cleveland seems to
enter heartily in the desire for conference
He has expressed his cordial sympathy with
all that may lead to some concerted progress
toward International bimetallism Indeed,
it was given out tonight on excellent aus
thority that the men whom the President
will appoint as delegates will not by any
means be single standard gold men, but
rather men with liberal views toward the
white metal 1t is asserted that Charles
A. Walker, of Boston, president of the
New England Bimetaliic League, will be-
one of the delegates to be appointed by
the President, and that his two colleagues,
will be men of equally high standing ana
possibly even bimetalists as we'll. SE
The free-silver men now recognize thu
danger OF seeing themselves disappointed
In their hopes of radical free silver results
from the conference. Instead of Messrs.
Daniel, Jones, Teller, Crisp and ICulberson
controlling the delegation, 1t is likely that
the three presidential delegates will be-
men of such calber that they will be the
ruling power For 1t Is believed that
Messrs. Crisp and Culberson will abandon
their conservatism and that they with
Mr.. Hit will follow the moderate courses
which the presidential delegates will pro-
pose. Much too is expected of Mr.. Teller
who, while an unalterable friend of silver.
is not dead to the dictates Of reason and
expediency as are Messrs. Daniel and Jones.
Indeed there is every prospect that If any
substantial results follow from the next
conferences contingency altogether unique
in the history of international monetary

contrive to draw all the credit therefrom

the revolver from under the pillow and

did so she heard a pistol shot, but did
not know 1t was the one she was handling
