he lets his mind play around the
subject, he lets the ideas of that
subject soak into his brain, he is
determined that nothing can pos
sibly resist persistent effort, and
one fine day great flood of light
comes in-he suddenly sees about
it. His work is easy,his work is de-

government officer in the treasury
department, a financial authority,
said yesterday:
"The gradual changing of the
countries from silver to gold has
led to the query as to whether
there is gold enough in the world
to afford a basis for the currency
of the world. The total available
supply of gold for monetary pur-
poses is now $4,2OO,OOO,OOO. In
addition to this India has $780,
100000 in gold not now used as
money, but which might be
brought out if required.
"Ihe known production of gold
which the annals of the world tell
of has been $9,OOO,OOO,OOO. Less
than half of this amount is now
available for money purposes.
Should all the world adopt gold as
basis of coinage probably 81 900
100000 in addition to the known
supply would be made available.
The population of the world in
commercial countries where gold
might be esta bllshed as a basis
amounts to about 100000, 900.
The amount of gold which could
be used FOR coinage purposes, if
placed in bank, would enable the
issue of at the most not more than
$l6.2O per capita In circulating
medium.
"ln the United States alone
there are 100000 in silver
dollars and bullion in process of
coinage. To stop the use of silver
entirely would make all the coin
of no avail. In other countries
the same situation exists, and the
same process of demonstration,
II carried to its utmost extent.
would so seriously reduce the cir
culating medium OF the world as
to paralyze commerce.
Leopold zimmerman, of Zim-
mermann & Forshay, large deal
ers in silver bullion, said yester-
day "Should all the countries of
the world go on a gold basis there
would not be enough of the yell
low metal to go round.

SILVER DROPS DOWN TO THE
BOTTOM.
Only Sixty Cents an Ounce-Al.
most the Lowest Price on Re.
cord.

(from the New York journal, Nav -. }
Silver bullion sold yesterday at
60 cents per ounce, the lowest
point 1T has ever touched, except
for short period in 1894, when it
sold at 5S cents per ounce. Later
in the day it rallied to 60 Ia.
This rally is believed to be only
temporary, and to be due to de-
mand for the white metal TO be
exported on the steamer Campa-
MIA Europe today. This vessel
will take out $4,000 ounces.
The steady decline in silver is
attracting considerable attention
abroad. Paris has been fairly
flooded with South American dol
lars, which have been sold on this
side as low as 2 francs ~ confines
for the dollar. The price of silver
in the Indian bazaars has fallen
to IS rupees, the lowest price on
record. The exchange between
London and Shanghai has also
fallen to almost the lowest, and
even at the low rate China does
not absorb large quantity of
silver.
Dating from the declaration by
Japan of its intention to abandon
the use of silver in its standard
coinage and go upon a gold basis
the price of the white metal l. as
been steadily declining. The full
ELECT of the change by Japan
from silver to gold has not yet
been fully felt in the silver mar
cts, but is being thoroughly dis
counted by the dealers.
1t is expected that several other
countries will adopt the gold
standard. China this year has
taken only about one tenth of the
amount of silver which it absorb
ed In the corresponding period
last year. Peru ceased the coin
age of silver on May 10, and is
anxious to go on gold basis,
with only its bad financial condi-
ton preventing 1T from taking
such step at once. Tn fact that
the demonetization of silver by
Peru as a possibility of the near
future has led to large offers of
Peruvian soils on the market,
other of the South American re-
publlcans, notably Argentina, are
considering the advisability of
adopting gold as a standard. A

A SNAKE BITE.
Remarkable Recovery After Being
Bitten.

Remarkable Recovery After Being
Bitten.
Mr.. f. 7. Summers, who arrived in
Liverpool on September from the
west coast of Africa. tells an extraor-
binary tale Of his recovery from snake
bite: Mr.. Summers, who was chief en-
gineer of the steamer Ebani, had an
encounter with double-horned viper.
The snake was about feet long, and
Summers is said to be the only man in
Africa WHO has ever survived a bite
from snake Of this species. 1t seems
that the natives Of Opobo reported a
wild elephant in the bush, and District
Commissioner Stein of the Niger
Coast Protectorate and Mr. Summers
went in pursuit. The snake, which
made a dash at Summers unobserved,
fixed its fangs in the ankle of the right
boot. After getting free Summers, who
showed great pluck, managed with the
aid OF his companion, to dispatch the
viper by blowing its head off. Imme
dately after being bitten Summers
leg commenced to swell, and he was
CdIIltu Win ali Spttu III TIC NOhou-
late. In less than an hour the leg was
three times its natural size. and the
clothing had to be cut from Summers
body. DR.. Thompson, Of the Protecto-
rate, who treated the injury twice in
jected into the wound either iodine or
bromide of potassium. The poison of
the viper had entered Summers body,
and even the doctor thought death
would take place within nine hours.
The chiefs and natives who had been
consulted by the doctor to see IL they
knew of any native antidote, said all
persons previously bitten had died in
ABOUT an hour. Summers was eleven
days in the consulate receiving the
unremitting attention of DR.. Thomp-
son, and although he was at times de-
lirious, he pulled through His recov-
cry created great establishment. DR..
Thompson has written to a medical
/ journal an account of his treatment OF
the bite.-London Daily Mall.

Spanish Steamer Sank-15o Drowned.
The coasting steamer Triton from
Havana to Bahia Honda, province of
the north coast of that province. The
steamer went ashore during heavy
weather. grounding about eight miles
from the coast. The purser and one of
the passengers reached Mariel and say
they have no knowledge regarding the
fate of the captain, 200 passengers, sol
diers and civilians, and the 30 members
the crew of the Triton. The missing
passengers include several well-known
merchants. The Spanish gunboat
Maria Christina and the tug Louise
left Havana ut once for the scene of
the wreck The two vessels brought
back AZ of the members of the lost
ships company who relate that the
first boat that was lowered when the
boat struck the rocks capsized immedi-
ately and all of its occupants were
drowned. The next was struck by an
enormous wave and turned over,
drowning 90, but the craft righted
again and eight regained it. Those
who were rescued tell heartrending
stories of the scenes. Just as the Tri-
ton was sinking Capt. Ricardo, her
commander, committed suicide, by
shooting himself. 1t is impossible to
give the exact number of those lost,
but it is estimated that they were no
fewer than $50. Among whom were
two navy and two army officers, COM
missary official and II privates. On
board the Triton was S3l, 600 in silver
to be used for the payment Of the
Spanish military and naval forces, be-
sides a large quantity of groceries and
ammunition for the army.

100000 by the Union Pacific Deal
The New York World publishes
very sensational lengthy article on the
workings of the Wall street street pool
which is seeking to obtain control of the
Union Pacific railroad. The World in
substance says:
steal involving an immediate loss
to the government of $50, 100000 and
an ultimate loss of over $50, 900, 900 will
be consummated within the next 20
days unless President Mckinley inter
poses his authority and protects the
people. The Union Pacific Railway
Co. owes the government over $4,000
900. A pool OF Wall street bankers has
engaged in a scheme of reorganization
which contemplates the payment of 62
per cent to the government, or less
than $33, 900, 900, while securities sub
ordinate to that of the government
will obtain 175 per cent upon their
claims. All the legal rights which the
government might avail of in the pur-
suit of the plunderers who rifed the
company treasury are to be abandoned,
and terms of sale have been fixed
which absolutely bar every form of
competition and give the pool big
prize. The World also publishes scam
