CANADA AND THE GOLD PRESIDENT
Cabinet Ministers Do Not Think Mic.
Kinley VIII BE Hostile.

New York, Nov. 9-The Morning Ad-
vertiser says this morning:
Three members of the new Canadian
cabinet were so interested in the outcome
of the recent presidential election that
they came to New York to study the
methods by which 1t was conducted, and
to learn the result at the earnest possi-
BILE moment. They are William Fielding,
minister of finance; William Patterson
minister of customs, and Andrew B. Blair,
minister Of railways.
The trio arrived few days before the
election, and left for home last evening,
apparently well satisfied with the result.
They do not seem to share the opinion
expressed by a large section of the Cana
dian press, that President Mckinley will
be unduIy hostile to them on the recipro-
city, fisheries, bond regulation and otner
questions at issue between this coun-
try and Canada. Finance Minister Field
ing, who acted as spokesman OF the par
ty, when seen said:
mo, do not see any reason why Ca
nadians should be alarmed at the election
of Mckinley. I think the chances of ar
irving at an amicable arrangement re-
| garding number of questions over which
Canada and the United States are at var
lance will be as good, If not better, altar
| his Inauguration, than at any time in the
| last four years"

ONLY ONE WAS SAVED
SCHOONER AND SIX OF HER CREW
LOST IN TIDE LAKE.
Riding Mt Anchor Mt Dusk, hut To-
tally Broken Up Before
Dawn of Day.

Muskegon. Mich, Nov. S.-The schoon.
er Waukesha broke up while trying tc
ride out the gale at anchor near here
last night and only ene survivor of her
crew Of seven has been rescued. He is
still too weak to talk. The vessel had
load of salt and apples which was taken
on at Manistee Saturday morning. At
o'clock yesterday she was sighted run
ming with the gale under a torn main
sail. An attempt was made to enter
Muskegon harbor, but the schooner drift
ed a mile south of the piers and then an
Choir was dropped.
She was riding three-quarters of a mile
from shore at dark. The engineer and
fireman of the city pumping station
watched the lights until o'clock last
night, when they disappeared. Shortly
afterward the wreckage began coming
in and today nothing can be seen of the
lost boat above the water where she
anchored. All night long the wreckage
continues to come up on the beach and
five bodies have been recovered. The
names of the dead can not be learned
as nothing about the clothing will identi-
fly them. The surviving sailor was wash
ed ashore unconscious and nothing can
be learned from him.
The Waukesha was one of the old feet
of canalers and true to all tradition she
has taken almost her entire crew down
with her in her last disaster.
She was owned by H. II. Head of Chi
cago and was formerly known as the
Nabob She was built in Manitowoc in
1864 and rated at 295 TONS

THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION.


1
London. Nov. 6.--The Associated Press
has commissioned a number of competent
observers to make Inquiries in various
business circles in London as to what
effect the election OF Mckinley had on
the business outlook in England. In re-
viewing and summarizing the result OF
these inquiries, it is shown that the cleo
ton has had a most favorable effect on
the financial and commercial interests
here. The universal rise OF values In all
markets here demonstrates this. The
buoyancy is, perhaps. due to release
from the strain Of anxiety which pre-
vailed In all circles by the American cam
paign. 1t seems evident also that the
rise of values in the English markets
Is partly due to belief which has gained
currency that, while somewhat higher
tariff schedule than the present one is
likely to be enacted, Mr.. Mckinley will
not resort to the extreme protection pol
Icy which has generally been attached to
his name
There is feeling prevalent in this city
that an era of long and active business
with the United States is about to be-
gin on the stock exchange. 1t is said
also that there is also an Immense
amount of British capital awaiting in
vestment in the United States. Some in
surance companies, 1t is announced, are
prepared to invest 100000 or asOO.OOO in
American mortgages.
The dry goods business has recently
been Of moderate proportions, but the
Manchester market now expects a squirt
in American trade.
The demand for the material used In
the cutlery and plating trades Is unusu-
ally great. In the iron market the effect
of the election OF Mckinley is already
being felt Reports received from Biz
mingham are that strong tone and more
disposition to do business prevails in all
departments there.
The wool industry has experienced a
decided impulse, and better spirits are
manifested all around among those en-
gagged in that industry. An upward move
ment in prices is reported at Bradford
where prices for all classes of woods
hardened on the improved inquiry.

WAGE TROUBLE TO BE SETTLED
QuigIey Miners VIII Confer with

Missoula, Mont, Nov. 8.-The attorney
for the Golden Scepter Mining Company
from Philadelphia, Attorney Joseph NJ.
Dixon, Missoula, and Peter Lynch and
Richard Spillane, who are the committee
for the laboring men at Quigley, left for
Quigley today, where a conference with
the laboringmen will be held On Novem-
Der the men held a mass meeting at
Qu!giey to take steps to place their claims
with one lawyer for collection Butte
parties. asked 10 per cent for collection
This was too high, accordingly Lynch
and Spillane were delegated to come to
Missoula to engage Joseph NJ. Dixon and
confer with the attorney representing the
company. To expedite matters, and make
a fair understanding with the laborers,
the party have gone Quigley
Rumors have gone abroad that many
men at Quigley are destitute and liable to
do bodily harm to representatives of the
company If they go to Quigley without
making prompt settlement. This is
without foundation. Lynch and Spillane
say the men are reasonable and patient,
seeking nothing but protection of their
wages as matter of business. There is
little money there, and all manage to
get enough to eat. They are feeling jul
bilant over the turn of affairs, claiming
the company's attorney will be received
with open arms.

ming irregularly since January last, have
commenced running at nights on account
of large orders conditioned on the cleo

factory and A. II. Towar & Company S
silver plate factory have both started
upon full time. There is even scarcity
of employees at present. The Fisher pot
terry establishment, established in 1875, is
now running full blast for the first time
in many months.
The result Of al this is that the
handlers are now able to secure money
with which to move the big apple crop
which is estimated at three quarters OF
a million barrels. There has been an
increase in farm produce prices also and
Collections are said to be improving.

Money VIII ne Easy Soon ana Ex-

Chicago, Nov. S,-Mr. Eckels, comptro,l-

tor Of the Times Herald from Washing
ton the following statement:
The liquidation of the last three years
has prepared the way for a revival OF
business in this country upon basis
which ought to insure stability and con-
tinuance. The immediate effect of the
dereat Of the free coinage propaganda
and the isms connected with it is seen
In the suggestions everywhere made of
preparations for new undertakings and
restarting Of old ones
Undoubtedly. some of these will fall
on, but the general tone of hopefulness

IN those things which clearly promise a
return Of profit ON the investment.
I do not believe speculative enter
prises will succeed for some time. A
great amount of money will come out of
noaroing, but it will be used cautiously
The amount which has been secreted in
SAFETY Vaults and elsewhere is larger
than ever in the country's history. Much
OF 1t is In gold coin, but not a little Is
IN the form Of credit currency, such as
bank notes, silver certificates and legal
tenders, The favorable conditions, aside
from the settlement OF the money ques-
ton, rest in the abundant crops here and
the shortage elsewhere, the reduction in
the stock Of manufactured products and
the fact that the expenses have been
Drought to minimum In every line of
business. Already deposits are increasing
to such an extent that the prospects of
strong showing under the next Bank
call is very hattering.
With the restored confidence now
manifest in our determination to main
tain the single gold standard of value
and the rehabiliment of American credit.
there Is reason to believe much foreign
capital will come here l do not see
either why the banks ought not soon to
resume the furnishing of any gold need

DID without injury to themselves after
the passage of the Sherman act of 1890
l believe the national banks should issue
all the paper currency and with this
power given them they should be obliged
to redeem the same in gold. This they
could readily do If the legal tenders were
removed and they were completely freed
from further silver agitation. / have no
doubt that under such circumstances

THE MADISON SQUARE HORSE SHOW
"FOur Hundred" of Gotham VIII Put
On Its Sunday Clothes.


Now York, Nov. Arrangements are
complete for the opening of the horse
show in Madison Square Garden tomor-
row morning. 1t is the 18th annual ex
llibition under the auspices of the Ma
tional Horse Show Association OF
America, and while the entries for it are
less numerous, the number of rich box
holders less than In previous years, the

parts of the country who have made
entries is larger than usual. There will
be six thoroughbred stations shown.

Peter; Judge Morrow, by vagabond and

In the ring will also be many favorites
of former shows. They will include sad
die horses, coach horses, trotters high
steppers, hackneys and harness horses
Racers do not figure conspicuously In
the lists.
The attendance this year, It is expected,
will be fully as large as in previous
years. and among the distinguished for
eigners who will attend will be Prince
Luigi of Savoy, nephew Of the king of

THE LEADWLLE STRIKE STILL OF
Public Opinion Veering Around to

Denver, Nov. Sowing to the great ex-
pense Of maintaining the militia in camp
at Leadville, Governor Mcintyre, 1t is re-
ported. has opened negotiations with a
view to bringing the strike to an end. The
mine owners have not yet shown a dis
position to make any concessions what
ever and they are preparing to import
more miners from Missouri. There has
developed, however, a strong opposition
to the policy of furnishing a guard in or
der to enable the mine owners to operate
their properties and break up the Miners
union, and it is believed the governor will
soon be forced by public opinion to with
draw at least a portion of the troops.
