HOKE SMITH LEAVES WASHINGTON
Secretary Francis of the Interior De-

Washington, Sept. 1.-Secretarv Smith
closed his administration of the interior
department today and retired from the
cabinet. Today the secretary devoted al
most his entire time to taking leave of
his associates and employees. When eX-
Governor Francis will arrive from Mis-
souri, is not yet definitely known, but it
is thought it will be before the end of
the week. Secretary Smith will leave for
Atlanta this evening or tomorrow night,
leaving Assistant Secretary Reynolds in
charge. All important matters have been
disposed of. so that Francis will have
clear field to begin with.
The record for the volume of work per-
formed during the past three and a half
years is probably ahead of any period in
the history of the department Secretary
Smith has enforced the strictest civil
service rules, making merit the sole
ground for promotion. He unhesitatngly
discharged his own appointees if their
work was not well done, and the force of
the department all over the country has
been brought to a high state of proficien-
cy. In the general land office the work is
now practically up. This has involved
not only the disposition of current work,
but a large quantity of accumulated work

AT WORK FOR SILVER
ATTEMPTS TO UNITE THE IDAHO
WHITE METAL FORCES.
National Democratic Committeeman
Hopes to See the Matter
Settled Soon.

Boise City, Idaho, Sept. Judge
Johnson of Peabody, Kas., democratic
national committeeman from that
state, arrived here today. He comes as
the emissary of the national committee
to attempt to bring about a union of
the silver forces. Yesterday at Poca-
tello he had a conference with Senator
Dubois, Congressman Wilson, Chair
man MCGEE of the democratic state
committee, Secretary Fritter, j. H.
Hawley, a member of the democratic
congressional committee, S. H. Hayes,
ex-chairman of the state committee
Tim Regain and a number of other
leaders.
Just what was accomplished has not
been divuged The principal object
of the silver republicans and democrats
participating is to secure the re-elec-
ton of Senator Dubois, and they seem
very much encouraged.
Johnson has been in conference here
with the populist leaders today. The
democrats and populists having fused
on the state ticket, and the populists
being very much opposed to Dubois, it
is thought likely that the state tickets
will stand as they are. But it is init
mated that a trade will be fixed up in
counties, by which Dubois will have
the legislature. 1t is possible, though
not probable, that all parties will unite
on one state ticket

HOW 1T COULD BE ARRANGED
Room Should BE Made on Union
Tickets for Two Republicans.

Boise Sept. IA special to the
Statesman from Pocatello says:
This morning Congressman Wilson
left for Denver and the members of
the state democratic advisory board
and J. G. Johnson of the national dem
ocratic committee departed for Boise
City to confer with the populist central
committee. Nothing was accomplished
here, the democratic committee having
decided to see what action the populists
would take.
At the meeting here it was the desire
to unite the silver forces irrespective
of party, but unless the populsts would
consent to undo the work of the Boise
convention the democrats were power
less. 1t is the desire of the Dubois fac
ton to have the regular democratic
populist nominees-Quarles of Lemhi
county for supreme justice, and Storer
of Bingham county for treasurer
withdraw, and Edgar Wilson and Tim
Regain from the ranks of the silver re-
publicans placed in their stead, but
this will not be listened to by the other
parties.
If the meeting at Boise is successful,
another conference will be called in a
few days, as the time is ripe for action.
Hon. j. G. Rich of Bear Lake is here
in the interest of union of all silver ad-
VOcates.

representing American missionary socie-
ties, headed by Rev. +. +. Ellingwood.
called upon Ii Hung Chang today and
presented him with an address, thanking
him for his interest In missionaries IN
China. The address, which was quite
long, says in no nation of the world have
American missionaries received more just
and even generous treatment than in
China
The address, after thanking Earl Ii for
the proclamation in behalf of the mission
aries. issued by him in 1891, says it is ex-
tremely gratifying to observe at the pres
ent time that the disinterested spirit of
the missionaries seems better understood
and more appreciated in China than ever
before. The address refers to work in
behalf of the Chinese of this country, and
says that were Ear Ii to visit the Pacific
coast he would see homes and refugees
which, with the cooperation of the Chi
nese consul general, the Christian women
of that coast have provided for unfortu-
nate Chinese girls sold into debasing
slavery" The address closes with an ex-
preston of satisfaction that the mission
aries had an opportunity to thank his ex
cellency in person, and hopes he may long
be spared
Ii Hung Chang responded by thanking
the ministers for their kindly expressions,
adding that his government had only done
its duty in protecting the missionaries.
In conclusion he thanked the missionaries
for their efforts to stop opium smoking,
which he characterized as a curse, and
expressed his gratitude for their prayers
for his recovery from the wound inflicted
by his Japanese assailant.

include $685. 456, 237 in certificates and treas
ury notes outstanding and offset by an
equal amount of cash in the treasury.
The cash in the treasury is classified as
follows: Gold, $l39. S25, 200; silver 1884,,
700; paper, SIT 1893, 56S; bonds, disbursing
officers balances, etc, ST., 992. 276, making

MINES ARE FILLING WITH WATER
Strike at LeadviIIe Fills the People
with Gloom.

Leadville Col, Sept. 1.-The stoppage of
the Penrose and Bon Air pumps and the
fear that other pumps will be shut down
fills the people with gloom. A prominent
mine superintendent said today that it
will require three or four months to repair
the damage done the flooded mines since
Saturday last At this rate it is impos-
sible to estimate the damage from any
lengthy cessation of pumping. The for
nation here is such that water inficts
serious damage more rapidly than in 9TH
er mining districts.
The strikers profess to view the situa-
ton as being more favorable to them,
and claim to have information to the eff
feet that the compact between the man.
ayers is broken irretrievably, and that
some leading mines will resume work
within a week, conceding the demands
of the union. A meeting of business men
was held tonight to petition the union to
declare the strike off, but did not decide
upon definite action.
