WASHINGTON, June 4.-Senor Don
Cana. the new Chilean minister, has re-
ceved the following caplegram:
SANTIAGO, June 3.-It is very crafty
ing to me to inform you that after seven
teen years of the regime of paper money
Chic has returned with satisfaction and
confidence to the gold standard. The law
is in force. FERNANDO,
Minister of Finance
The resumption OF specie payments by
Chile, which occurred on last Saturday.
promises to furnish some interesting les
sons in coinage leg islation. Reports from
there state that the government tried to
familiarize the people with the new forms
of gold and silver coins by getting out
preliminary issue. These were quickly
exchanged for the old paper money. but
as soon as the novelty had worn off the
people were glad to go back to the more
convenient form OF paper currency. An
ether embarrassment occurred when the
governme ent found that the coin was be-
ing exported in great quantities. The
specie payment law fixed the ratio be-
tween the metals at 4l to |. This
ignored the current ratio of the world,
that in the Lonuon market at the present
time being 81 to /. AS result OF this
difference gold bullion began to flow out
of Chile. The silver coins were also ex-
ported DeCauSe lDe Jaw pIONlOeS Indb
they shall contain 444 grains OF pure sill
yer. Thus both gold and silver were be-
ing drained out of Chile. so that the gov
ernment ordered the mints 10 stop fur
ther coinage. Under the new law the
mints began last Saturday and there is
much interest as to what Will be the re-
suit of this last step.
WASHINGTON.J June 4.-The Associated
Press cablegram announcing that Chile
new currency conversion law places that
country on a gold basis. created much
interest here.
Secretary Grouse of the Chilean lega-
ton when asked about the dispatch and
what effect the new law would have, re-
Piled:
mo effect whatever upon our bonds or
outstanding loans. all OF which are pay
able, principal and interest in gold. But
it will insure stable currency. 1t is
not expected that gold will circulate much
in ordinary comm ercial transactions. sill
yer will be the medium, together with
banfea 'ssartsS sssyastemh. SUBSTANTIALLY on the
VISIONS OF the new law, the s -am nrns, pn. as4
OF Chill is authorized to soll Some Of the
government nitrate bonds to procure the
coin necessary to retire this paper money.
For three years it is also authorized to
coin $40, 900, 900 of silver annually and to
negotiate for advances on the purchase
money of the nitrate bonds.
Silver will be legal tender up to $50
In sums exceeding that it will be ex-
changeable at the mints for gold at it's

TIMELY WARNING
An Address to the Democrats Of Obi
Issued


COLUMBUS. OHIO, June 4.-The fol-
lowing was issued fom the rooms OF the
Democratic state committee today
To the Democrats OF Ohio: From the
vast number Of letters received by This
committee from all parts OF the state urg-
ing the calling of the Dem ocatie conveu-
tion, the belief seems to prevail with
large number that this committee has au
thority to name the time and place for
the holding Of the state convention.
This, however, is not the case. The au-
thority to issue call for the Assem- bling
of the convention is vested in the state
central committee and the calling OF that
committee together for the purpose of
naming the date and place rests with
the chairman of the state central commit
tee, W. A. Smalley of Upper Sandusky.
The state executive committee, from
the information it received, believes that
the rank and file of the par,y of the
state desire that the state convention
should be assembled at once and we have
requested and urged Mr.. Smalley to call
the central committee together We
have done this, not only because the
Democracy of the state seems TO demand
and that we believe their will should be
obeyed. We have also urged it becaus Sc
we knew that the executive committee
lately chosen for the coming year must
have sufficient time in which to con, rlete
thorough organization throughout the
state and arrange for an active speaking
campaign Your executive conn ittee
must have time in which this can be
done if you expect success. The Republi-
cans are already in the field. Why should
not the Democracy be there also? The.
undersigned know of no reason other
than that Senator Calvin s. Brice. who

A BIG MINING SUIT
Over $1,000, 900 Involved, Together Will
Rich Mines in Tuoumne


Rich Mines in Tuoiumne
SAN FRANCISCO, June IA suit
growing out of the negotiations for the
sale Of the Rawhide mine with other
Toulumne county mining property and in
volving ST. 305, 900 has been begun in the
superior court by n. Il. Cleary, an attor-
ney and mining man, who represents
Saunders. Fieldman G. Bond OF London,
New York and Chicago.
The suit is against W. A. Nevills, W. H.
Martin ana John Ballard, who have been
restrained by Judge Seawell from selling
tho Guild gold mining property on which
the plaintiff claims to have received an
option, with an extension of time.
Cleary states that the defendants owned
the Guild Gold Mining company shares,
aggregating in value $1,000, 600, and on
agreement to transfer them to Cleary
placed 95, 900 shares with the Wells, Fargo
Bank to await payment of the purchase
money. An expert examination of the
mining property was made. and as re-
suit Cleary received the opticn on some
additional property with the purchase
price fixed at 81, 305, 900.
An extension of time on the payments
is claimed by Cleary, who says he was to
pay $50. 900 on July 1st of this year and
81, 100. 600 on August 1st. Now Cleary al
leges that the defendants are trying to
get out of the agreements and he has
obtained from Judge Seawell an order re-
straining them from making any further
deal with the property. Experts from
New York and London inspected the
mining property, the Rawhide mine and
the App, Heslep and Hitchcock mines,
and they make a favorable report on the
purchase, after which the owners of the
property refused to go on with the nego-
tiations. In answer to the complaint very
serious charges of bribery are made
against Cleary. Mr.. Nevills alleges that
Cleary offered him $50, 900 to defraud his
partners, Messrs. Martin and Ballard, in
the approaching deal, and that Attorney
Samuel M. Shortridge was also approached
with offers of bribery to induce him to
influence his client, Mr.. Nevilis, to play
into ClearY's hands.

AFFAIRS IN SPAIN
1t Is Claimed There Are no Fears of Cabinet
Crisis

WASHINGTON, Jane Administer Du-
puy de Lone of Spain says there is no
fear of cabinet crisis, as the result OF
the adverse vote ih the Spanish house of
deputies, and that the vote does not in
dicate any change of the government s
policy in Cuta or other questions OF i'm
portancc. The Conservatives recently
assumed the condition of affairs. They
did not, however, have a majority in the
house of deputies. and it was one of the
terms on which the conservative leaders
undertook to foim a cabinet that the
other parties should assist in passing the
budget.
This was essential by reason of the
strength of the different parties in the
house, which is about as follows: Con-
servatives 100, Liberals 3S, Republicans
25, Carlists 5 and Cuban and Porto Rico
members %. The minister is satisfied
that the adverse vote was on some minor
question not involving government policy,
saying he would be Informed at once If a
crisis was imminent.
The budget will be passed by July 1st,
for the fiscal year ends then. The cortes
will then adjourn and it is definitely un-
derstood an election will be h eld.
