provement in the overgaiter consists in
having the edges connected together
by an elestic band. The advantages
claimed for this addition are that the
spat can be drawn over the boot, and
when released it practically becomes
selfadjustable, being drawn together
and held in position by the elastic
band, making it impossible to slip or
become loose on the foot. The spat
can, it is stated, be worn without any
other fastener whatever, but spring
buttons may be provided when desired.

Washington, Sept, 21.--Acting under
instructions from the treasury depart
bent, the superintendent Of the United
States mint at Philadelphia has made
arrangements for an extensive coinage
OF double eagles or twenty dollar pieces.
The gold bars now stored at that nYlnt
will be used for, this purpose. There
is stock of $25 900, 900 In bullion at The
New York subtreasury, andi Is possible
that Ii, too, may be coined
The real purpose of the gold coinage
Is to put the department in a better
position for the redemption OF green
backs and treasury notes The recent
withdrawals were all In gold coin and
have materially decreased the supply of
such coins available for the redempticn
OF gold certificates, United States notes
and treasury notes.
The colning press which will StNnp
the double eagles has a capacity Of 1e.
600 pieces a day, amounting to $3.50, 200.
Thus there can be turned out over ten
million dollars month The principal
reason given for the large coinage Of
double eagles Is that 1t counts so much
faster than the five or ten dollar gold
pieces
There is about $4O,OOO,OOO worth cE

The Truly Good People Of Kan

Who Helped Redeem Kansas, Are Now Hold

Against the Reckless Disre-
gard of Law and Order.

Kansas City, Kas., Sept. 20.-One hun
dred of the leading lawyers, doctors
and ministers of Kansas City, Kas.,
held a meeting last night at the Seventh
Street church and started an investiga-
tom that may bring forth sensational
results. The investigation was started
by the citizens interested in the enforce
ment of law In Wyandotte county. Many
of the leading citizens and tax payers
OF the city profess to be of the opinion
that the county attorney, the city at
tOrney, and the police commissioners
have not been doing their duty and
have not been trying to enforce the
prohibitory law, but are taking revenue
from the joints
The question of the enforcement Of the
law was thoroughly discussed and the
public officials keenIy criticised A
committee was appointed to assist the
city council in preparing and passing
an nordinance that will close the joints.
This committee will call on the mayor
and the ordinance committee and point
out to them their duty. 1t is composed
OF j. s. Richardson, DIR. Tenny, Dow
McClain, d. w. Austin and G. w. Litch-
field.
A committee composed of J. H. Gadd,
J. H. Lane and W. Freeman was ap-
pointed to investigate the reasons why
the forty or more liquor cases that have
been appealed to the district court have
not been prosecuted. A committee com
posed of Revs. c.. W. Bucchus, j. G.

pointed to confer with the police COM

ance they claim Is necessary to aid
them in closing the joints. Messrs. Zel1e

Another Silver Conference.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept 23.-The meet
ing Of the Democratic silver leaders CALI
ed to put In practical shape the conclu-
sions of the conference held In Washing
ton last month, is in session here today.
There are present Senators Harris and
Jones Of Arkansas, w. H. Hinrichsen,
chairman of the Illinois state demo-
cratic committee; Governor Stone OF
Missouri, Hon. Casey Young of Memphis
and several others Of less note. Senator
Turpie of Indiana iS the principal abb
sentee, being detained at home.
The chief object Of this meeting 10 to
appoint chairmen for the different
states, who are to organize the silver
forces with view to capturing the
state delegations to the national demo-
cratic convention. The leaders here
seem hopeful Of accomplishing this re-
suit, particularly Mr.. Hinrichsen. He
says the democracy i'm the south and the
doubtful states Of the west are for free
silver and will vote for 1t in the next
election. He reiterated his former de-
clarations as TO the policy and purposes
Of the administration. Cleveland, ne
said, would bring ON war with Spain
about Cuba, and eventually with Eng
land. This would give him an excuse
to call for a big issue Of bonds and rivet
the gold standard on the country, and
would besides clear the way for third
term.
The silver leaders remained in confer
ence until late this afternoon, when 1t
was announced many OF their delibera-
ttOns would not be made public, as the
executive committee they had met to Sc
lect had not been completed. The
names OF the representatives OF a num-
Der OF states upon this committee were

Wealthy Illinois City Commit Perjury to
Avoid Taxes.

Springfield, H., Sept. 23.--The most
sensational report ever ISSUED by state
bureau was made public tonight by the
Ilhonois bureau of labor statistics. 1t
charges that the great majority OF
wealthy taxpayers Of Illinois, and more
especially Of Chicago, are perjurers;
that the assessors are guilty OF mall
feasance In office; that the present flnan-
cial condition of Chicago IL directly
traceable to the corrupt system Of taxa
ton, and that the 'ideplorable condition
Of work Is due to the liberty y-destroying
methods of taxation which prevails in
Illinois,"
The report is made up of q. mass Of
tables compiled from official reports Of
assessors, banks, real estate transfers
board Of equalization and the various
municipal departments to which the
agents OF the bureau had access. After
declaring that ut Is the purpose OF the
report to expose existing methods of
taxation in Illinois, with special refer
ence to their effects upon the labor In
terests," the report proceeds to review
the work of the former bureaus The
stand is taken that 1t is idle to dwell
upon the wages and condition of the
average wage earners of the state. The
bureau contends that the condition '1s
proved by evidence so clear and abund-
ant that the compilation Of any further
statistics would be wasted effort" The
bureau takes the position that taxa
tion is the chief instrument Of tyranny"

In a particular locality. Attempts have
been made to gobble up townslte under
the provisions of this raw. st. Paul,
with a population Of about 500, Is a case
in point. Land grabbers are trying to
take up the entire water front and also
the townsite. The inspector learned
of one corporation that had made loca-
tions in Western Alaska, at Cook inlet,
Kodiak and elsewhere. They had been
taken up In the names Of individuals
who were dummies.
The statement published in the Post
Intelligencer some time ago that the
official maps prepared by the provincial
government of British Columbia would
show that Great Britain intended to
grab almost every available site for a
seaport is fully confirmed. The pub
lished map shows the boundary follow
ing a line much nearer the Pacific coast
than the Americans have claimed, leav-
ing the heads Of the deep inlets In
British territory. 1t cuts across Taku
inlet, midway of its length, leaving the
mouth Of the Taku river the only avail
able place for seaport In that terri
tory, while 1t gives the United States
the mountainous shores toward the
ocean. BY cutting across Lynn canal
this this line gives to Great Britain Ber-
ner's bay, where valuable gold mines
are being developed by American cap
ital, and it leaves the Chilcott inlet, the
Sneep creek mines, which have recently
been discovered by Americans, and the
Chilcott pass, which Is the only practi-
cable route to the Yukon mines, in Brit
ish territory. 1t also gives to Great
Britain the Muir glacier, Alaska's great
scenic attraction for tourists. The
strongest deniaIs of Great Britain's
claims have come from the Metlakahtla
Indians, who some years ago moved
from Fort Simpson, near the mouth
of Work channel in British Columbia,
to Annette island, for the express pur-
pose Of becoming subject to American
government, which had granted the is
land to them. This island lies to the
east of Behm channel and thus
is claimed by Great Britain, while all
previous definitions of the boundary
have shown it to be undisputed Amei-
can territory.
The boundary line is drawn in con-
formity with the Britinsh interpreta-
tion of the treaty between Great Britain
and Russia, made in 1926.

President Smythe, Of the police board.
ordered the chief of police to enforce
every ordinance Of the city, and es-
pecially the awning ordinance, and to
arrest every occupant of building
whose awning is not eight feet above

subject to arrest under this order. The
mayor and council will, when the ar
rests are made, remit the fines as fast
as they are made. Business men claim
the commissioners are prosecuting them

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 22.-Numerous

Of the act Of March 3, 1891. The law
provides that land for trading and
manufacturing purposes may be taken
up, but the maximum Is fixed at 100

that 1t be as nearly square as possible.
