MATE TRIM RETIRES.

A Little Difference With an En-
plOyee of Irwin & Co. the Cause.
Mate Trim has gone to seek an
other job. He became angry be-
cause he could not run the ship w.
F. Babcock and told the captain
he was going to leave. The master
of the vessel took him at his word
and the matter was settled inn
mediately.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Fred
Whitney of w. G. Irwin q Co.,
asked the mate to have line re-
moved from the vicinity of the
foreward portfolio of the w. F.
Babcock, in order that men might
be set to work loading sugar into
her from the Oceanic wharf, along
side of which the Babcock had
hauled.
The mate said he would do moth
ing of the kind. Mr.. Whitney sent
native to speak to the captain
dDOUC b16 u1dGG0I, OuG GHO u1OSSOu-
ger was ordered off the vessel by
the mate. At this the men engag-
ed in loading sugar on the Babcock
were called from their work.
The captain soon came down and
after some talk, the line was remov-
ed and the men set to work.
Then the mate got his little
bundle and said he was going to
depart.
The sailors of the Babcock are
all very much elated over the de-
parture of the mate and hope he
will remember with pleasure the
lovely times they have had to-
gether.
G. A. Bailey, who was a boat
boy for quite a while, has been
made second mate of the Babcock
and stands a good chance of being
made first. Mr.. Radley is well
liked by all the boys along the
water front and is square in all his
dealings with men.

GOOD ARGUMENT.
ryan Tells the Pennsylvanians About Money Affairs.

CHESTER, Pa, Sept. 23.-A large crowd stood in the rain here yesterday morning and listened to Bryan. He said in part: We have reached a crisis in our monetary affairs. Our financial policy is run by a few syndi- cates in ithe interest of the money changers and the question presented to our people is whether the people shall take charge of our government and run it in their own interests, or farm it out to these syndicates to let them run it in their own interests. If our present financial policy is to be maintained, if gold is to be the only money good enough for government use when it pays bondholders, then the government, if run by those who be- lieve that policy must continue to is sue bonds in order that a few may make money out of the laboring man. 3 (Applause.)

UNION PACIFIC.
May Sell It to a Syndicate to Save
 Government Lien.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23-General Wade Hampton, commissioner of rail- roads, and the Hon. w. J. Coombs of New York, government director of the Union Pacific railroad were in the city to confer with Secretary Francis over the forthcoming reports relating to the Pacific corporations, and particularly to the Union Pacific railroad.
 The proposition in regard to this railroad contemplates 8 foreclosure covering the main line of the Union Pa cific and the central branch in Kansas and Colorado, uniting Kansas City and Denver. The claim of the United States under its second lien, now amounting to about S67 7,000,0 900, it is said, is to be paid in cash by the pur- ehasers at a percentage amounting to about S50,00O,0o0.
 It is further stated that a syndicate has been organized to purchase the road on these terms. provided the as- sent of congress can be secured.

YOUNG SPENCER
No Improvement of the Kansas
 Youths Lapsed Memory.

LAWRENCE, Kan, Sept. 23.-Her- bert Spencer, whose remarkable lapse of memory was aired in the newspa- pers recently, ls.s e-ssel 1 5zsa ::,7.ior class in the pharmacy department at the state university and is doing work for which he received credit several years ago. He has no difficulty in pre- paning his lessons, but 1t all seems new to him. He is as bright as he ever was in coping with an unfamiliar sub ject, but displays Gittle knowledge of those with whom he ought to be ac- quainted. He still greets old friends with constraint and has developed fondness for playing with children
 A friend in California has written that Spencer was knocked senseless with a baseball bat few years ago and wonders if there is any connection between that accident and the unfof- tunate young mans present condition.

Must Be Done at Any
 Cost.
Teller Is Standing Menace to
 Wall Street.
Colorado will Be Flooded with Money for the Purpose of Defeating
 Teller for the Senate.

DENVER, Sept. 23.-The edict was issued from Mckinley headquarters to- day that Senator Teller must be de- teated for reelection to the United States senate at any cost"
 This is simply carrying out the plans agreed upon immediately after the St. Louis convention, when the Mckinley managers declared that Dubois, Teller and other bolters should not return to congress if they could help it. State Senator McNeely, an ardent McKin leyite, made the statement in public last evening on the streets of Denver that Woleott could secure $250, 0,000 for the Mckinley state ticket in Colorado, It is admitted by the Mckinley shout CTS that Bryan will carry this state by an overwhelming majority, probably exceeding 100000. The Mckinley state convention at Colorado Springs on the Both inst will nominate elect ors and a complete state and iegisla- tive ticket Senator Wolcott and other Mckinley followers will then take the stump and talk loudly for their electors. While he is doing this other agents with their legislative candidates will be making still hunt, and with 'their influence" hope to se cure the election of sufficient num- Der of legislators to defeat Teller. Could this be accomplished, or could there be a sufficient number of votes secured to throw the senatorship to some other silver man, then Hanna would have brought about consum- nation worth to the goldites a quarter of a million of dollars and considered it cheap at that. Senator Teller is a standing menace to Wall street money changers, and they desire his defeat above all else. Dividing the Republi- can votes is not to secure offices, but to accomplish the defeat of Henry M. Teller

The statement IS awaited with intense interest by Re publicans. 1t is said that Colonel Van Horn and number of other pioneer Republicans will formally withdraw from the party. Whether Colonel Van Horn will run independently for con- gress has not been decided. 1t is pos sible that the statement may take the form of lecture delivered some night next week at the Democratic wigwam

If They Let Go at One End Must

LONDON, Sept. 23.-The Westmin- ster Gazette says there is an increas- ing probability of an early advance in the bank rate from 21k to per cent, adding that apart from gold with drawn from the bank yesterday, a1O0,00O was bought in open market for the continent, and a slight further decline in French checks would bring within sight the probability of gold exports from Paris. The Westminster Gazette remarks: Indeed, it is held in some quarters that the directors of the Bank of France will not only re- fuse to allow more gold to go to- the United States, but it will seek to recoup from London the amount already sent :"

DAILY FOR ARBITRATION.
The Colorado Strike Could Be Settled
 by Marcus Daly.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Fev. Father Malone, of Denver, who is in Chicago on a lecture tour, said today: 1.-The result of the Leadville strike is de- plorable in the extreme. The great body of the miners should not, in my opinion, be held responsible for the outrages last night. They are due to irresponsibles. It is not yet too late to bring peace to Leadville if cool heads were to take the matter in hand. Arbitration would settle it if such a man as Marcus Daily were ito act as arbitrator He is a mine owner, but I am sure he would be acceptable to miners and he ought also be satisfac- tory to mine owners. In the interest of humanity Daily should be appointed at once"

Low Grade But Extracted
 Easily.
It Is a Surprise But No Doubt
 True.
The Farmers of Nebraska Are Ex- cited Over the Discovery and
 Are Preparing to Profit.

The Denver Republican says: The earth is full of surprises, especially of a geographical character, and nothing will surprise the mining men of Colo rado more than to learn that a Ne brasha man is in the city for the pur- pose of making arrangements for the erection of a cyanide plant in Nebraska to treat gold ore taken out in that state. But incredulous as 1t seems it is none the less true. Henry Har- rison, manager of the Union Creek Mining company of Nebraska, is the man. Mr. Harrison, in talking of the matter yesterday, said:
 q am aware that thds is am extraor- dinary proposition ito a Colorado man, but we have made sure of our ground, and we know that we have the stuff. What we propose to do now is to find the place in this new gold belt of ours in which we can get the best returns. When we find that we will erect our cyanide works and take ore from all parts of the belt. We have had it tested by the state university, by the Omaha and Grant works, by the cya- hide process and by Henry E. Wood of your city, and in every instance it has given returns from $2 to $4 in gold We are not selling amy stock, have not listed it on any stock board, and are simply testing what we know we have. We are only capitalized for $60,O0O and the whole of that amount is tn the bank at Stanton.
 Both the banks of Stanton and a large number of our leading men are stockholders, and if the tests already made hold Gut in the treatment by the cyanide process we have stuff as good, if not better, than the Mercury or the Homestake mines, as we have only to shovel it out, and have no expense such as is involved in mining and stamp mill treatment. We can treat it than 70 cents per ton.
 1.-The deposit was first discovered in the neighborhood of Lincoln, but that was a failure, as we have found that as we go farther south the material is more CT less mixed with clay, which makes it hard to treat The material carrying the gold is clearly sedi- mentary deposit, lying in a stream from two to seven feet thick. We find it sometimes twenty feet thick. Gen. erally it is found few feet below the surface, but it frequently rises to the surface. The locality is on the Elk horn, fifty miles north of Lincoln, and about fifty miles east of the eastern lime of Colorado It has been traced for a distance of 100 miles and one of the objects of our company is to dis cover the extent of the deposit.
 "When it was first discovered land in the vicinity was sold for as much as $3,000 an acre, and there are now more than fifty farmers on the Elk horn who are digging it. There are various bheories of its origin, but the most generally accepted is that it was brought down by glaciers"
 MT. Harrison had some of the stuff with him, which he says ran S2 to the ton on an assay by Henry E. Wood of this city. In appearance it resembles the cemented silt in some Colorado creeks in which gold is found.
