GOLD EXCITEMENT EXAGGERATED
Reported Finds in Oklahoma Are Grossly
Nisrepresented.


Nisrcpresented
Kansas City. June z3.-The Star prints
the result of careful examination made
by a staff correspondent sent to investi-
gate the reported gold discoveries in Ok
lahoma. The many sensational stories of
wild gold excitement in the territory are
positively denied. The gold fields at pres
ent consist Of large area of ground
covered with claim stakes, and besides
there are a few poor farmers washing
sand in home made sluices. According to
the correspondent the situation in a nut
shell is this: There is probably gold in
the sand underlying the Doggy creek
course, but it will take several assays
to determine whether IL is worth taking
out. 1t will take experienced prospectors
to determine where the sand is, and lots
of money to collect gold from the sand.
AT present there is nothing TO get excit-
ed over. Assays of several samples of
sand taken out at various points show
gold, possibly in paying quantities, but if
il is there in sufficient quantities, money
will be required to put in machinery and
condensers. The only way to work the
sand will be on large scale, like quartz
mines are worked. The stories of thous-
ands of people in the diggings are fab
relations. Comparatively few are there,
and in several so-called camps many of
the men are so poor that they barely exist.
The correspondent charges that the stor-
les of Oklahoma towns being depopulated
and thousands rushing to the diggings
have been originated by men interested
in drawing outsiders. The correspondent
warns poor men and laborers that the
Boggy creek country is a good one for
them to stay away from, but at the same
time he asserts that experienced mining
men with money may find something
there to interest them and repay them
for making the tedious Journey

CARDINAL GIBBONS VISIT TO ROME
False Statement That American Bishops
Protest Against SatOlli.

protest Against SatOlH.
Washington, June 2S.-An eminent
Catholic ecclesiastic says of the recent
Rome cable to the London Standard,
that Cardinal Gibbons had presented to
the pope protest of the American bishops
against the continuance of Monsignor Sa-
TOLLS mission in the United States:
THE American bishops have made no
such protest, and the statement that Car
dinal Gibbons or any one else is it's bearer
is an unqualified falsehood. Having an in
innate acquaintance with the purpose of
the cardinals visit to Rome, / can as
sure you it has no reference to any ques-
ton of really great Importance. He has
not been to Rome in 10 years, and the
present time was chosen as an opportun-
ity to make his decennial visit. Naturally,
being with the pope for the first time in so
many years, the whole range of church af-
fairs in America will be gone over, includ-
ing, no doubt, the success of the pope
special delegate to America. But this will
not be from the standpoint of any pro-
tests from American bishops. The time for
that has gone by. Furthermore, Cardinal
Gibbons is known as one of the most
polite prelates in the American hierar-
chy, and he is the last one to be drawn
into a protest or other international dis
sensions. This would be more true in a
matter concerning Monsignor Satolli, who
has been shown to be very near the popes
heart.

RESIGNATION WAS ONLY A BLUFF
Duke of Cambridge Did Net Expect His
Offer WOnId BE Accented

London, June 22-The announcement of
the determination of the duke of Cam

in-chief of the British army, has thrown
new light upon the subject. There has
long been a strong agitation against the
duke and the government it appears, act
ing upon the principle of expediency.
caused it to be known that it would ma
terially assist the government If the duke
would offer to resign. Consequently the
duke, not suspecting that his offer would
be accepted, sent in his papers to the
queen. The latter handed them to the
government under the impression that
they would be returned. The government
accepted the papers as a definite resig-
nation and Mr.. Campbell Bannerman
made the announcement to the house,
which was the last thing expected or de-
sired either by the queen or by the duke
of Cambridge.

dictionary Hero.


Caldwell, N. j., June 22-There was
an old-fashioned picnic here today in

battle of the revolutionary war which
took place near here, and during which
he gathered up the hymn books in his
church and carried them to the conti-
mental soldiers and told them to use the
paper for wadding for their guns, cry
ing. meanwhile: "Give 'em Watts, boys;
give 'em, Watts" Caldwelrs church
was burned down, and his wife and him
self cruelty murdered. In his honor this
little hamlet IL miles from Newark, was
soon after the revolution called by his
name.

The improvement of business, accord

IS fully maintained. The change for
the better during the last three months
IS very great. Trade, industry, the
money market, all have notably i'm
proved. No one in this country now
doubts that improvement is permanent.
Confidence has grown. Credit is
stronger. The situation is made clear

creased wages, in bank clearings, in
railroad earnings and in the stock ex-
changes. The crop prospect is most
encouraging. Good crops are ,practic-

Of Improvement is the advance in the
prices Of railroad securities, which in
part reflect opinion of the effect of the
crops and in part growing feeling of
confidence. It is better that there

to them in in their impulsiveness and
their impatience the best way to solve

that they were mistaken. They still

concerning liquor drinking as well as
liquor selling. Intemperance is no
