Than the Previous Year.

Washington, Decl. 31.-Th directors

dence that the worlds product of gold

mate if not exceeds $240. 100000, an in
crease of nearly 20 per cent over 1896.
The gold prOuction of the United
States for 1896 was sos, ,100. 900; for 1897
it will approximate s61, SOC, 900, an in
crease of So, 400. 900.
The prouct of Africa for 1896 was $44,
400, 600; returns received up to Decen-
Der l. 1897 indicate that the gold pro-
duction of that country for the year
will be $5S 600 900. an increase of $13,-
SOC. 600 Australia for 1896, $40, 200. 900; for
1897, the indications are that it will not
be less than $51, ,000. 900, an increase of
Sc 500 900. Mexico for 1896, SIS, 1896, 600;
for 1897, it is estimated that it viii be
$40. 600 900. an increase of LOO, 000
The Dominion of Canada, 1896. 50 S00,-
600; it is estimated for 1897, at Z 1900, 900,

ted at $7.50O,000 an increase of S1,400,O00

duction of gold for 1891 as it is estima-
ted by Ex-Governor GAcnt that it will

DR.. ANDREWS REBUKE.
An 'EAShamed Of Kansas" Cen
tleman Given Talking To.

A Brown university graduate who re-
sides in Topeka, while calling on Presi-
dent Andrews yesterday said:
When we go east we don't make
special effort to let people know where
we are from
"WeI, why shouldn't you" replied
Mr.. Andrews in astonishment.
Before a reply could be made by his
confused guest Mr. Andrews said:
Kansas people are just as good as any
on earth. They are abreast of the
times in intelligence and keep pace with
the world in other lines. They are
charged with being erratic, but to my
mind the thought sometimes comes,
that perhaps they are in advance of the
world in some of their theories and in
reality, instead of being peculiar, they
are spreading the gospel which some
time the world may follow. OF course
there is the other view to be taken. but
I think it is not justified. You should
be proud of Kansas"

DIR. ANDREWS LECTURE.
The Problem of Population and of
Education.

DR.. E. Benjamin Andrews president
of Brown uniy ersity lectured before the
teachers at the Grand Opera house last
night The house was crowded.
DIR. Andrews said;
plato proposed that increase in pop
ulation should be confined to the chill
dren of parents who are physically,
mentally and morally capab 1t IS
evident that this dream can be realized
ONLY in Utopia. The second, that of
John Stewart Mill, proposed that the
poor Fe taken care of by coionlzing
them in districts where they can start
life anew under favorable conditions
and be encouraged in the ways of
thrift and that this colonization work
be supplemented with education. or
this method the Salvation Army is the
modern exponent.
TIT is evident that we cannot put in
to practical and general effect Mr..
MilPs colonization plan W.thout the CO.
ercive authority from government to
compel submission OF the part of those
it is designed to assist. Therefore we
must turn to enlarging the educational
phase of the proposition
First of all if we would make edu- a
