1T WAS THE CANADA.
The Unknown Vessel Which Coilided
with the Steamer City of Pueblo OF
otter Point.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-The I'M
known vessel which collided with the
steamship City of Pueblo, off Otter
Point, in the straits of Fuca, on the
night OF Oct. "a, now proves TO have
been the American bark Canada, which
arrived at this port last evening, is
days from Union City. In the collision,
the Canada lost one anchor, her mar
tingale was carried away, and the
jibboom was so badly damaged that
she could carry no headsail.
In this crippled condition, the vessel
came into port When the vessel was
about to anchor or Black Point an I'M
fortunate accident occurred. AS the
anchor was being dropped, the chain
broke and the ship became helpless.
She drifted toward the beach, and al
though strenuous efforts were made by
the captain and crew to keep the bark
in deep water, she was beached by the
strong eddy, and was soon fast in the
mud 1t is expected that she will be
floated at high tide today.

AS ECKELS SEES IT.
Looks for Revival of Business
in This Country Upon a
Stable Basis.

NEW YORK Nov. 9.-The Herald
this morning prints the following tele-
gram from Comptroller of the Cur
rency Eckels:
Washington. Nov. s, 1896.
''The liquidation of the last three
years has prepared the way for d re-
vival of business, in this country upon
a basis which ought TO insure stability
and continuance. The immediate effect
of the defeat of the free silver propa-
ganda is seen in the suggestions every
where made of preparation fornew un-
dertakings and a re-starting of old ones
Undoubtedly some of these viii fall off,
but the general tone of hopefulness will
continue and investors will invest in
those things which clearly promise a
return of profit on the investment.
Il do not believe speculative enter
prises will succeed for a long time to
come. A great amount of money will
come out of boarding, but it will be
used cautiously.
THE favorable conditions for the
people, aside from the settlement of the
money question, rests in the abundant
crops here and the shortage elsewhere,
the reduction in the stock of manufac-
tured products and the fact that ex-
penses have been brought TO a mini
mum in every line of business.
The banks have since 1893 been
changing off bad and better securing
doubtful paper, and they will be able
to speedily loan out such sums as bust
ness men need. Already depositors are
returning to such an extent that pros
poets of a strong showing under the
next bank call are very f1attering.
with the restoration of confidence
now manifest in our determination to
maintain the single gold standard of
value and the rehabiliment of Amer
lean credit. there is reason to believe
much foreign capital will come here.
| do not see, either, why the banks
ought not to resume the furnishing of
any gold needed in business $ransac-
tions-a thing they did without injury
to themselves until the passage of the
Sherman act in 1890.
"a great opportunity is presented to
the country of entering upon a long
period Of prosperity. 1t ought not to
be frittered away through unnecessary
tariff or currency legislation. All tar
if legislation should be based upon
remedying any patent defects in the
present law. and not general in its
scope, while the currency suggestions
should be with a view to bring
about the gradual retirement Of legal
tenders and the Improvement of the
note-issuing powers of the national
banks. 1 believe the national banks
should issue all the paper currency of
the country, and with this power given
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. I have no
doubt that, under such circumstances,
they would be willing to undertake it.
JAMES H. ECKELS,
Comptroller of the Currency"

Whether this was done maliciously by
parties who had no interest in either the
gas or the electric light companies is
rot positively known at this office at

could have had no object or motive for

NEW YORK. Nov. "a Sun special
from Was1in gton says: Politicians and
public men generally in Washington
appear to agree in the opinion that
President-elect Mckinley has already
determined to offer ex-Presidenr Har-
rison a place in his cabinet. This
honor, it is thought is due to General
Harrison because of his high standing
in the party and his reputation as a
citizen. Moreover, the fact that he per-
scnatly conducted the affairs of the
state department during his admin
istration. especially after the death of
Mr.. Blaine. demonstrated his great
ability as an International lawyer and
diplomat. In the Chilian and Hawaiian
affairs Mr.. Harrison held the reins in
his own hands and made personal an
nouncemenr of the various steps in the
rigorous and patriotic American policy
that was adopted.
The possibility of General Harrison's
appointment as secretary of state has
aroused most gossip over the interest
ing point of whether the pFopTieties of
modern craftsmanship and politics
would allow an ex-president of the
lister. The cCncensus of opinion in
Washington seems to be that General
Harrison's dignity would not suffer in
the least by his consent to become the
premier of the Mckinley adrninIStra-
ton Nothing is known here, however,
as TO General HarriSons personal in
clinafiOns, beyond the fact that he has
repeatedly said to his friends that he
now desired to spend a. few years at
least in the practice of law, for the
purpose of making money and ait the
same time find leisure for reading and
study. His recent marriage will I'M
doubtedly have considerable influence
upon his future plans. however, and if
President Mckinley should offer him
a place in the cabinet, Mrs. Harrison's
wishes might determine whether he
would accept
There are very few political leaders
here at present, but among those who
are here, the opinion seems to be gen
eraa that President Mckinley will
recognize the services of Senator
Palmer Secretary Carlisle, General
Bucl1ner and Others. They will all be
out of Office after March 1. if Mr. Car
Isle is not elected senator from Ken
lucky, and will be recognized in a man
ner satisfactory to them. A well-in-
formed Republican politician said yes
terday, that in the opinion of the old
soldiers, without regard TO party, Pres
ident Mckinley could make no popular
appointment and more deserving one
than that of General Daniel E. Sic1Ies
10 be commissioner of pensions This is
an opinion in which old soldiers and
sailors only are greatly interested. and
General Sickles' appointment, II is
thought, would be as gratifying TO the
veterans as was that Of Corporal Tan
ner by President Harrison.

CHICAGO, Nov. "a special to a
morning paper from New York says:
The banks are contemplating the re-
sumption of specie payments which
they suspended in February, 1892, by
refusing to supply gold for export and
for the payment of government dues.
That action threw the burden of sup
plying gold upon the treasury and
eventually forced the issue of bonds by
the government, which aroused so
much complaint.
Since the election the gold has been
coming into banks in such quantities
that they will now pay it over their
counters. BY this action of the banks
the metal will be put into circulation
and no reason whatever will exist for
boarding 1t. They will also resume the
task of supplying gold for export, and
thus relieve the treasury from the
drain.

A DAY OF DIVIDENDS
Several Leading Mining Compa mics
Come to the Front with "VeIvet.'

| Several Leading Mining Compa nies
Come to the Front with 'VeIvet."
Yesterday number of Utah's most
prominent mines came to the front in
the way of declaring dividends and The
Herald is Of the opinion that the people
of the state may we'll feel proud of the
fine showing made by these representa-
tives of the mining industry; as well
they may, as, without our mines, Utah
would be nothing more than a little
agricultural section on the map of the
United States.
The first company to announce it's
dividend was the Mercur, which de-
clared its regular monthly dividend of
$4,000, No. p, payable on Nov. 20.
This will bring the grand total paid to
date up to the handsome sum Of $780,
GOO, and The Herald is informed that
the mine is in a condition to pay this
velvet money" for a long time to come.
The Silver King, of Park City, has
also declared a dividend of $37. 800
payable today. The Silver King has
not paid dividend since September
last, but it is the general opinion that
this magnificent property will here
after distribute its "divy' every month
with pleasing regularity
The directors of the Galena and Utah
Mining companies met late Yesterday
afternoon, and it is believed that they
declared the regular monthly dividends
for these properties, $4,000 for the Ga
lena and $1,000 for the Utah. Both the
Galena and the Utah, from all ac-
counts, are in splendid shape, and The
Herald is informed by the management
that 1t is the intention to push work
IN the development of these mines and
to continue the payment of dividends
for an indefinite period
The Swansea Mining company will
pay its $4,000 today and there is every
reason to believe that the company
Will keep right along in this monthly
payment of the needful.
Today is the regular day for the Bull
lion Beck to declare its monthly divi-
dend Of $4,000 and it is believed that
1t VIII do so; and there is a possibility
that it will also declare a special divi-
dend.
Taking it all in all, the mines of
Utah made splendid record yesterday.

ing. Mercur was in the same boat and
declined from S6.15 to S6.05 in the bid
ding, but the stock in the asking adj
vanced to $685.. Mammoth was fairly
active and chronicled sales at S1.65,
although at the close these shares were
held at a much higher figure.
OF the unlisted stocks, Swansea ex-
perienced a bear movement in the bid
ding, but holders refused to let go at
anything under s265, which is an ad-
vance over the lowest offerings of last
week. South Swansea. however, was
very strong and was in active demand
at rising figures and at the close a

an advance in the offerings.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Herald's

The cabinet resigned at a late hour

will be it's motive, and it will repre-
sent the different factions of the Lib

fairs OF the republic, it is believed, and
there is much rejoicing throughout

of opinion now fear the clergy as a

The resignation of the cabinet was
the direct result of a conference be-
tween the president and several lead
ing politicians rpresenting all parties
All expressed the opinion that it was
impossible for the then existing cabi-
net to govern the country, owing to the
opposition of the chamber of depu-
