Report of the Mint Director on the Coun
try's Gold Output.

Report of the Mint Director on the Coun-
try's Gold Output.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 23.-The
director of the mint, in statement made
public to-day. estimates the production of
gold by the mines of the United States
approximately during the calendar year
to have been 1,910,sOO fine ounces, of the
coinage value of $50 ,6O0, 900, an increase
over 1893 of So, 500, 900, which is the largest
amount produced in any year since 1878.
The production of silver from the mines
of the United States is estimated to have
Appropriated in 1894 49,5O0, 900 ounces, of
the coin value of $64, ,oO0, 600, showing de-
crease as compared with 1893 of 10, 600, 900
ounces.
In the production of gold California leads,
with an output of $13. $40, 600; Colorado is
second, with So, 491 600; Montana third,
with SIS. .651 200, and South Dakota, So, ,299, ,OO0
Colorado heads the list in silver by an
output of %, ,2S1 400 fine ounces, of the coin
age value of $50, 101 200; Montana second
with production of IL, $50 900 fine ounces; /;
followed by Utah, with a production of
1892, 600; and Idaho, with 3,249, 500. At
the average price of silver for the calendar
year 1894, the commercial value of the
silver product of the mines of the United
States is $31, ,432, 500.

the limit of its Indebtedness and has no
money to pay jurors, and the Judge de-
cilnes to make the county liable, even II
that were possible under the constitutional
limit for any further Indebtedness. he
says the constitution puts limit to debt
making, and the Government must be run
within that limit. So there will be no
jury trials in court until the county has
further power to increase its indebtedness,
or until money comes in from some source
not now in sight, which is altogether for a
very indefinite length of time. Such
power can be obtained only from the Leg
lslature. and that body does not meet for
two years. However, it is thought that
some way out of the difficulty will be found,
so as not to paralyze the jury system in
the courts here for two years.
Stallcup is the Judge who brought sem
sational suit against the city some months
ago on alleged fraudulent grounds to in
validate $1,75o,OOO of bonds given by the
city to Q. B. Wright of Philadelphia, a
North Pacific Railroad director, in pay
ment for light and water plant.

MINISTERS SENT AWAY.
Trouble Caused by the Acts
of Foreigners Four
Months Ago.
CONFIDENCE OF A PROTEST.
Now the Southern Rep,bIic Crows
Weary Of Isolation From
Great Nations.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 22.-The
United States has again been asked to act
as intermediary in an international COM
plication. This time the trouble is be-
tween France and Venezuela, resulting in
a complete termination of diplomatic re-
lations between them. The French Min
lister at Caracas was recently given his
passports, whereupon France sent two
warships to take away her Minister and
all the legation archives. At the same
time France handed to the Venezuelan
Minister at Paris his passports and he
summarily departed.
The request for the mediation of the
United States is made by the Venezuelan
Government through its Minister at Wash
ington, Senior Andrade. He was instructed
by the Venezuelan Minister of Foreign
Affairs short while ago to request that
the United States ambassador at Paris,
Mr. Eustis, be asked TO act as intermediary
in restoring friendly relations between the
two countries. The United States legation
at Caracas was also notified of the desire
of the Venezuelan Government and sent a
recommendation to the State Department
that the Office of intermediary be ac-
cepted.
Department officials will not discuss the
matter and it cannot be ascertained whether
instructions have been sent to ambassador
Eustis.
Should this country undertake the re-
Cancellation it will make two questions in
which our officials are Intermediates with
European Governments in behalf of Vene-
zuela.
ambassador Bayard is already engaged
in effecting solution of the British-Vene-
zuela question.
The trouble between France and Vene-
zuela originated about four months ago.
A number of Europeans residing at Cara
as united in confidential note to their
respective Governments, in which they
told of the lax condition of the Govern
ment and the tendency of Venezuelan Off
cials to avoid the settlement of just claims.
The note was signed by the Ministers of
France, Germany, Spain and Belgium.
The Italian Minister did not sign it, but
sent it to his Government for information.
By mischance the word confidential"
was omitted from the note and Italy pub
lished it with the signatures of the four
Ministers in the italian Green Book.
Venezuela thus was publicly pilloried.
She at once gave their passports TO the
French, Spanish and Belgian Ministers,
but the German Minister had left before
this indignity could be offered to him. By
| this step Venezuela was almost cut off
from relations with leading nations. Great
| Britain withdrew her Minister some time
ago because of the boundary troubles.
| 1t is with view of overcoming this iso-
lation that Venezuela asks the kindly Of

tion IN Sonoma County of nearly $4OO, 900,
which, it is declared, would work hard
ship to their people, and perhaps create a
panic.
Technically and legally, the position
taken by Banker Doyle is held by the At
orney-General to be the correct one. He
has sent an opinion to the District Attor-
ney here, in which he holds that under the
law County Treasurers cannot deposit
county funds in banks as special deposits.
In making special deposits, the opinion re-
cites, the Treasurer parts both with spe-
cific money itself and title to it. Both
money and title pass to the bank, and the
bank promises to repay to the order of the
Treasurer. 1t does not promise to pay the
identical money or thing deposited. This
clearly is in violation of section 81 of the
county government act.

SONOMA COUNTY'S LOSS,
Nearly 100000 of Public
Funds Has Been Withdrawn
From Circulation.
Attorney-General Fitzgerald's Opln-
ion Regarding Deposits Causes
a Furor.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, May 22.-The topic
of conversation in Santa Rosa to-day is
the opinion of Attorney General Fitz-
gerald in regard to the law regulating the
deposit Of county funds in banks as special
deposits. The CALL gave an account few
weeks ago of dispute between President
Doyle of the Exchange Bank here and
County Treasurer E. F. Woodward, which
led to the bringing of the present question
before the Attorney-General.
Doyle is a Democrat and Woodward a
Republican. The former opposed the
election of the latter as County Treasurer
last fak and when Woodward was elected
he promptly withdrew $4,000 of the
county funds on deposit with Doyle's bank,
and has since refused to deposit any more
of the county money there.
For many years Doyle's bank had re-
celved the lions share in the distribution
of the county funds, and Doyle, as presi-
dent of the bank, naturally protested
against the discontinuance of this con-
venient state of affairs, urging his right to
a share at least of the county money, but
County Treasurer Woodward refused to
listen to his complaints or to comply with
his repeated requests.
Thereupon President Doyle lodged a
complaint with the District Attorney OF
Sonoma County, alleging that according to
law the County Treasurer was bound, when
he put any money into the banks for safe
keeping, to have the coin kept as special
deposits, not allowing it to be used for any
purpose by The bank.
This meant withdrawal from circula-

IN SESSION At PORTLAND.
General Rally of all tho Republican
Leagues.

General Rally of all tho Republican
Leagues.
PORTLAND, Or, May OF ie conven-
ton of the State Republican Clubs met in
this city to-day, over zoo delegates being
present. The entire afternoon was con-
sumed in the election of six delegates-at-
large to the National Convention, to be
held at Cleveland June 10. While some of
the delegates are favorable to silver they
are unanimous against any declaration on
the money question by the National League
of Republican Clubs.
This evening four delegates were elected
from each of the two Congressional dis
tricts of the State. These delegates are
also opposed to any action on the silver
question by the Republican National
League. There was no attempt made to
introduce resolutions bearing on silver,
and the sentiment of the convention as
indicated by the delegates chosen was
strongly against action calculated to COM
NIT the Republican party of the State
either for or against free coinoge.
The whole number of votes in the con-
vention including proxies was 100. While
no mention of the silver question was
made it was generally understood that the
issue was whether or not delegates favor
able to free coinage should be elected. An
analysis of the vote shows that the anti
silver delegates were elected by an average
vote of two to one.
A final effort was made tonight to pass
resolution calling for free coinage at a
16 to ratio, but it was voted down by an
overwhelming majority.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 22-The most
notable characteristic of the convention
for the discussion of ssound money" and
better banking facilities, which will meet
tomorrow afternoon at O'Clock in the
Auditorium, is the total obliteration of
party lines in its make up. The five OF six
hundred delegates, representing every
State and all the principal cities in the
South, include men holding all shades of
political belief and representing every
branch OF commerce and industry in which
the South is interested. More than hun
dred delegates, besides numerous newspa-
pers and others, who do not come as dele
gates, arrived during the day.
The convention will be called to order at
2 o'clock, when, after the reading of the
Chairman Crawford a permanent chair
man will be selected. The gentleman
most prominently mentioned in this con-
nection tonight is Congressman Catchings
of Mississippi, who will reach Memphis in
the morning.
After organization and the appointment
of committee on resolutions the gather
ing will listen to an address by Hon. ]. G..
Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury. The
Secretary will reach this city early in the
morning. After dinner the local commit
tee of fifteen will accompany him to the
Auditorium. where he will deliver his
speech. The lower floor of the building
has been assigned to delegates, while the
balconies will be open to the public. The
structure has seating capacity of 10000.

KILL ALL REVENUE LARS.
Colonel Snsithsom Makes StartIjn Q
Statement.

Colonel Snsithsom Makes Startling o
Statement.
KNOXVILLE, TENN, May pa start
ing announcement is made by Colonel
Noble Smithson, Knoxville attorney,
who has had much practice before the
united States Supreme Court, that the
decision in the income tax has also
killed the internal-revenue laws. In a
carefully prepared opinion Colonel
Smlthson says:
Justice Fuller, in his opinion, says the con.
stltution divides the Federal taxation into
classes-frst, direct taxes; second, imports and
excises, and that direct taxes must be appor-
toned among the several States in proportion
to their representation in the House of Repre-
sentatlves. Apparently the logical result OF
this opinion is that all Federal taxes, except
the duties on imports (that is to say. taxes
collected under the tariff laws), must be
apportoned among States according to their
representation in the House of Representa-
tives. The act of August 27, 1894 CNilson billy,
section 48. provides that there shall be levied
and collected on all distilled spirits, etc., tax
OF 81 10 on each proof gallon. The statutes Of
the United States levy a tax of q cents per
pound on tobacco, etc. 1t seems clear, accord
Ing to this opinion of the Chief Justice, that
tnese are direct taxes on personal property, and
not being apportioned among the several States
according to representation, they are unconsti-
tutional and void.
If this view be correct, the Supreme Court
has not only wiped ont the income tax, but it
has practically repealed the internal revenue
as it affects tobacco, whisky, brandy, etc. II
this construction of opinion be correct. all
direct taxes, including those on real and per
sonal property, must be levied on according to
representation SO, that the rich people of New
York, Massachusetts and other Eastern States
will pay no more tax per capita than the
poorer people of the Western and Southern
States. OF course this is not to be thought of.
The result would be practically that all
revenues to support the Government must be
raised by duties on imports, and instead of
reducing the tariff it will necessarily increase
it materially.

AN "EXTRACT|ON" TAX,
Mexico Places a Levy on
All Silver and Gold
Mines.
American Interests to Be Cinched
In Order to Increase the
Revenues.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 22.-Word
reaches Washington that Mexico is about
to adopt new plan for raising revenue by
taxing all silver and gold mines in which
American capital is heavily interested.
Financial Minister Limantour first sug-
gested the plan to the Budget Committee
and the latter accepted it and presented it
to the Chamber of Deputies as part OF the
federal revenues for the current year. The
proposed tax is estimated in the budget to
yield $2,275, 900, which makes it the third
item of Importance in the Mexican reve-
nues, being exceeded only by customs and
the internal revenue or stamp tax.
The new tax is to be call an ''extraction
tax" 1t is 214 per cent on silver and 81
on gold. 1t is to be paid on every species
OF the two precious metals, rough or re-
fined. The collection is to be made at the
metallurgical offices of such metals as are
for local use and at the point of export on
metals sent abroad. This extraction tax is
in addition to the charge for minting or
coinage.
There are no exemptions, even in the
cases of the special mining concessions OF
zones granted by the Government. An
other prospective change affecting Ameri-
can interests is likely to result from the
silver-lead ore item of the last United
States tariff act. 1t is not improbable that
the old American rate of half a cent pei
pound on the lead contained in silver ore
will be reimposed by Mexico. The rate
was reduced to three-fourths of cent pei
pound by the United States act. A pro
vision was added that in case foreign
country should impose an import dut,
upon silver ores containing lead exported
! to the United States from such country
then the duty upon such ores, when i'm
ported from such country, shall remain a
fixed by the law in force prior to the pass
age OF this act. 1t is under this provision
that the Mexican law is likely to b.

NEW YORK, N. Y, May 22.-The
overdue French line steamer La Gascogne,
Captain Baudelon, from Havre. May II,
