NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Hon. Joseph
H. Choate announces his candidacy for
the United States Senate in the follow
ing letter:
New York, Dec IA, 1896.
Dear Guthrie: You have handed me
a copy of the resolutions adopted by the
Union League Club of the city of New
York, and have asked me to declare
whether l would be a candidate for the
position of United States Senator in ac-
Cordance with these resolutions
In view of the present political con-
Gitions in this State I have no hesita-
ton in saying that l will be candidate,
and if elected will try to serve the peo-
pie of the State and Nation to the best
of my ability.
Il am simply grateful for the COM
plment paid me by the Union League
Club, foremost as it has ever been
among organizations devoted to the sue
cess of the Republican party, for whose
candidates l have voted from the begin
ming, and in whose principles l have al
ways believed. To that party the coun-
try must look now, as it ever has, for
national safety and prosperity and the
preservation of the Constitution. Yours
very truly, JOSEPH H. CHOATE"

GOLD CERTIFICATES.
Secretary Carlisle Declines to at Pres.
ent Sanction Their Reissue.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The fol-
lowing letter from the Secretary of the
Treasury was made public to-day:
Franklin Haven, President Merchant
National Bank, Boston, Mass-Sir: Re-
plying to your favor of the 10Th of No
vember, written in behalf of the Boston
banks asking for the issue of gold GER
tificates under the authority granted
IN Section II of the Act of July l.,
1882, l am not yet prepared to give
the necessary order.
After the reserve has once fallen be-
low 500, 100000, and the issue of such
certificates has been stopped, it is not
certain that the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, especially in view of existing con-
ditions, would be justified in resuming
their reissue. 1t has been the expert
ence of the department in the past that
the increase of the gold reserve caused
by the exchange of paper currency for
gold is checked by the issue of gold
certificates, and, in fact, upon various
occasions considerable amounts of gold
have been withdrawn by the presenta-
ton Of notes for redemption, and i'm
mediately redeposited in exchange for
gold certificates.
Moreover, the House of Representa-
tives of the Fifty-third Congress, at its
third session, passed bill discontinue
ing their issue entirely, and it is the
intention of the department to present
the subject again at a very early date
AS the amount of gold reserve is largely
determined from time to time by the
available amount of paper in crcula-
ton, it seems inadvisabIe, at this time
especially, to increase the volume of
that currency by the issue of gold GER
tficateS.

DETROIT Mich), Dec. IA shock
ing double tragedy took place in this
city to-day. Ernest L. Chase cut the
throat of his wife and then with the
same weapon cut his own throat from
ear to ear and fell dead beside her. The
tragedy took place early this morning
In the rooms occupied by the cople,
and when the tragedy was discovered
the two bodies lay in a pool of blood
on the floor.
The tragedy was the climax of a life
of unhappfneSS. Chase was 3S years of
age and his wife was six years younger.
He was of a very jealous disposition,
frequently accusing his wife of undue
familiarity with other men, an accusa-
ton which, his friends say, was wholly
without foundation. For day or two
he has been very morose in his manner,
again repeating the usual statements
about his wife and accusing her of
unfaithfClnesS. 1t is believed that ne
finally became insane through brooding
over the matter and that the tragedy
was the result of this insane jealousy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE army

about $766,0O0 less than the estimates
of the Secretary of War, and S15S, 900
below the appropriation of the present
year. No provision is made for the
Army and Navy Hospital at Hot
Springs, Ark, as the Secretary of War
recommends that it be transferred to
the Interior Department to be rented.
The Secretary explains that the num-
Der of patients at the hospital is so
small that they are practically no more
numerous than the attendants, and
that under the circumstances it would
be cheaper for the Government to
board the patients at a good hotel.

A HUNTERS STRANGE FIND.
HUMAN SKELETON HIGH UP in A
FIR TREE.
The Discovery Possibly Clears Up the
Mysterious Disappearance of
Pioneer Years Ago.

UKIAH. Dec. 14.-Charles Ryan, who
lives on Pine Ridge, about ten miles
west of this city, came to town to-day
and tells a remarkable story of the dis
covery of human skeleton while out
hunting the other day. Early in the
morning MIR. Ryan took his shotgun
and Went out into the woods to kill a
squirrel for dinner. He soon discovered
fine large gray squirrel, which ran up
into the top of a tall fir tree. Mr..
Ryan fired at the little animal, which
fell from it's perch, but did not strike
the ground. Ryan was somewhat puz-
zled at the failure of the squirrel to
drop and examined the tree carefully,
thinking perhaps the little animal had
fallen and lodged In the branches.
After carefully scrutindZing the fir for
some minutes he discovered what ap-
peared to be a large nest, made appar-
emily from the dead branches of the
tree, and on looking more closely saw
the bushy tail of the squirrel hanging
from the nest.
Ryan determined to have the squirrel
at any cost, and lNtting down his gun
took off his coat and prepared to ascend
the trunk of the fir. The squirrel had
lodged about sixty feet from the ground
and it was with some difficulty that the
altitude was reached.
Finally, however, the branch in which
the squirrel was lodged was reached,
but Ryan was Mortified to discover that
the object he had mistaken for a nest
was in fact the skeleton of a human
being
The skeleton was seated astride of
branch of the tree, close up to the
trunk. One of the legs had fallen off,
but otherwise the skeleton was in fair
state Of preservation. 1t was tightly
lodged in the tree and bore evidence
of having been there for many years.
Ryan secured his squirrel and de-
scended the tree. He did not dislodge
the skeleton. as he intends taking a
rope and lowering it to the ground to
prevent breaking it.
1t is possible this discovery clears up
the mysterious disappearance of An
drew Nobrick. a pioneer settler of Con
the country seventeen years ago. He
left his cabin one morning in the late
seventies and since that time has never
been heard Of 1t was thought by Mr.
Ryan that the skeleton is that of a man
who was either driven to the tree for
refuge from wild beasts. or who, being
lost in the woods. ascended the tree for
observation and fell, lodging in the
crotch of the tree.

The meeting was informal. No ac-
ton of any kind was taken Owing to
the meetings of other committees the
meeting was a short one. 1t is hoped
that at the next sitting tentative plan
at least Will be submitted, for it is the
intention to prepart a bill as speedily

the silver boiling Republicans will not
antagonize the proposed measure, and
that many Democratic silver men will
