THE TIMES ON WHITNEY
Brltishers Have No Desire That Silver Should
Be Rellabi1itatcd

LONDON, Aug. 13.-An editorial in the
Times this morning commenting on ex-
Secretary of the Navy Whitney's remarks
on the silver question expresses the hope
that Mr.. Whitney's aspiration for an in
ternational agreement to rehabilitate sill
yer will not be fulfilled.
Americas previous efforts" says the
Times, Ito create an artificial demand
for silver only stimulated ITS production.
The same result would follow on how
ever large u scale the abortive project
might be revived. The Bland and the
Sherman acts failed to do the good ex-
pecrsd of them and left the legacy of
mischief which gives promises of long
outlasting their repeal"
The Times then proceeds with dis
cussion on the position of the United
States treasury. and it considers that
"the corn and cotton exports in the face
OF our harvests will serve to prevent a
recurrence of gold drain from America.
Americas currency is still in excess of
the country's needs. but it may be hoped
that time and increased population will
remedy that evil and that no more stop
gap expenditures will be required to deal
with a mischief which has been artitic.

THE JAPANESE CRISIS
The ninisteriai Changes Discussed by ths
Legation at Washington

Inc Iun1Stertnp Snan8eS DisSuooeo Uy tHe
Legation at Washington
WASHINGTON, August 13.-No infor-
nation has been received at the Japanese
legation in confirm alton or denial OF the
report that cabinet crisis exists in ia
pan. though the legation would necessar-
lily be- informe ed OF such an occurrence un-
til the formation of new ministry.
The report of dissolution was. how
ever, a surprise to the members Of the
legation. and caused great interest. While
accustomed to look on Counts Ito and
Yamagata as almost permanent parts OF
the Japanese government, they admit
there has been dissatisfaction expressed
among the opposition politicians con-
cerning the recession from the terms of
the original treaty. and it is surniscd
that any cabinet changes will be due to
this criticism.
They think, however. change on this
account is improbable, as in Jaran the
ministry is the creation of the emperor
and IS continuance in office is in no
wise dependent on popular approval ex-
cept so far as the ministers may person.
ally he Influenced by it. Furthermore.
they find il difficult to realize that there
should be any Misunderstanding on the
question of rank. Both Ito and Yamagata
are counts. The former holds the high
est decoration within the gift of the en-
peror, and the latter is marshal of the
empire. 1t Is not understood why men
who have already been SO highly honored
would make trouble over the question Of
the comforting of an honor which would
be only a slight advance over their pres
ent positions.
No one at the legation will venture an
opinion as to who might succeed Count
Ito as prime minister in case of his per-
manent retirement.

Senator Vest was then asked to explain
the action OF Kentucky and Iowa, if the
feeling was so universal. In reply he said /:

In regard to the prospects of an inter-

Vest remarked: at is generally conceded

Eng land will not alter the gold standard.

WONDERFUL MINES
Rich Ore In the Aieuta That Can Be Cut |

Rich Ore In the AIeutia That Can Be Cut
With Cheese Knives
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.-The
schooner Golden Gate which has been on
a prospecting cruise among the islands of
the Aleutian archipelago returned last
evening with tales of wonderful mines,
where rich ore is to be cut out with a
cheese knife. The Golden Gate sailed
from San Francisco on the 26th of May
with party of young men who had
agreed TO share expenses and profits on
the Alaskan mining expedition. Three
of the party of twelve or more returned
with the schooner, but they are full of
buoyant hopes, and after the ore brought
down in the huld of the vessel is assayed,
will return to the islands with more
machinery. The men who came down
from the north in the Golden Gate say
little about the location of their big
strike. but it was learned on board the
schooner that the n,ine on which they
place SO much reliance is on one of the
islands just south of Kodiak island. The
ore is rebellious. but rich enough to war
rant the expenditure necessary tU prop
erly mill it.

One Of His journalistic Friends Wants Him
7ade U. S. Supreme Court Justice
CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Ex-Pres-
ident Harrison is among those suggested
for the vacancy on the supreme pench,
caused by the death of Justice Jackson.
Attention has been called to the fact that
while Mr.. Harrison was president of the
United States he was broad enough to
appoint as justice of the supreme court
an ex-Confederate and Democrat, How
ell e. Jackson. 1t is suggested in view
of this fact, that Mr.. Clev e,and, brushing
aside party considerations, should appoint
his predecessor IN the White House to the
vacant place In the highest judicial trib-
unal in the country.
NO president since Washington has had
an opportunity to make more than five
appointments to this post of duty and
dignity. Washington made eleven ap-
continents and Jackson, Lincoln and
Gran. are the only others who ever
reached five. Harrison named four.
Cleveland has made three appointments
and has vacancy to fill. while there IS
Jne on the bench who may retire before
the end Of this administration.
