said to have been heavy, as the result
of the high water. The Snohomish

Great Northern first strikes tide water

BISHOP KEANE'S PLANS.
On His Way to Rome and VIII Not
Return.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Bishop ]. j.
Keane, late of Washington university,
passed through this city today on his
way to the East. He will within a
short time, sail for Rome, where he will
become a member Of the Roman propa-
ganda~ Some time since, the vatican
gave to Bishop Keane the choice as to
whether he would remain a member of
the American hierarchy, or to come to
Rome, it being understood that no mat
ter which he might choose he was to
be made an archbishop. Bishop Keane,
after some elaboration, chose to be-
come a member Of the Roman propa-
ganda, and so informed Pope Leo. He
is now on his way to Rome to receive
his appointment and, from present in
dications, he will not return to this
country after he leaves it. Bishop
Keane was at the Great Northern hotel
during the early portion of the day, but
was not registered, and denied himself
to all but q few Of his personal friends
He left for the East at o'clock.

An Object Lesson In Silver.

There is an American silver dollar.
There are two Mexican dollars. There
is more silver in each of them than in
the American dollar. / bought both Of
them for that. What is the reason? Tho
sole reason is that our dollar is limit
ed coinage, backed by gold. There is
another coin. That is q French franc
piece. paid 95 cents for that. It car
ries little less silver than the Ameri-
can silver dollar. France and the Unit
ed States are both gold standard coun-
tries. They keep in circulation thou
sand millions Of silver, and Mexico and
China and Japan have not got one dol
lar Of gold in circulation. The gold
standard country can keep silver in cir
culation. The silver standard country
can keep no gold. That is the example
of every nation today. Gold all leaves
the free coinage country. Gold and sill
yer both circulate in the gold standard
countries. Speech by Senator
Lodge.
