"SOUND MONEY" MEN MEET.
Want to Create National Monetary
Commission.

Chicago, Aug. 1O.-To carry forward
its work. the sound money executive
committee appointed at Indianapolis
last January, met in this city today to
proceed with the task of creating a ma
tional commission, which President
Mckinley has been prevented from
naming by the failure of congress to
pass the measure presented during the
closing hours of the extra session.
The committee is composed of 10 rep
resentative business men. residing. in
various parts of the United States. 1t
is practically a nonpartisan body.
Hugh NJ. Hanna of Indianapolis is at
it's head as the chairman. The other
members are: NJ. L. Crawford Dallas,
Tex; w. B. Dean, st. Paul, Mimi; ].
W. Fries, Salem, n. c.; ]. A. Hanson,
Macon. Ga; c. c. Harrison Philadel-
phia. Rowland Hazard, Peacedale, r.
l.: John P. Irish, Oakland. Cal; H. H
Kohlsaat, Chicago; ]. ]. Mitchell, Chi
cago; A. F. Orr, New York, George
Foster Peabody, New York; ]. C. Pow
er, Helena, Mont; T. c. Stannard, ST.
Louis; A. E. Wilson, Louisville, KY.
The business of chief Importance
will be TO select IL men TO devote their
time 10 the work mapped out for them,
to compose the commission. To them
will be entrusted the responsibility of
devising some satisfactory and accept
able plan for revising, reforming and
regulating the currency system.
The selection by this commission Of
such a commission is in accordance
with the powers conferred upon it in
resolutions of the convention of bust
ness men held last January.
The sessions will necessarily, for the
most part at least, be executive. Great
care is to be taken in the makeup of
this body. Bankers, business men and
farmers are the classes to be repre-
scented.
Seven members of the executive COM
mittee responded to their names when
Chairman Hanna called the meeting TO
order Those present were: Hugh H.
Hanna of Indianapolis. T. o. Stannacd
of ST. Louis, ]. F. Hansen of Macon.
Ga. George F. Pea body of New York,
Augustus E. Wilson of Louisville, KY;
NV Fries of Salem, n. c.; and H. H.
Kohltsaat of Chicago.
The committee held an executive ses-
sion and discussed plans for the future.
Nothing definite was done pending the
arrival of remaining members of the
committee tomorrow. The present out
look is that what is known as 1.-The Chi
cago PLAN will probably be adopted.
The commission appointed will work
upon the general scheme mapped out
by the Indianapolis convention and will
have exclusive power regardless of the
executive committee and the conven-
ton in the construction and presenta-
ton to congress of new financial sys-
tenn for this government.

BLISS ADDS A WARNING.
Little Likelihood That Tt Will be

Washington, Aug. 1O.-Secretary
Bliss has taken cognizance of the rush
TO the Klondyke gold fields and Alaska,
and has issued the following warning
TO the general public:
To whom it may concern:
In view of information received at
this department that 5000 persons with
1000 tons of baggage and freight are
now waiting at the entrance to White
pass, in Alaska, for an opportunity to
cross the mountains to the Yukon river,
and that many more are preparing TO
join them, / deem it proper to call at
tention of all who contemplate making
that trip to the exposure privation.

at this advanced period of the season.
even If they should succeed in crossing
the mountains. To reach Dawson City,
when over the pass, 700 miles of difficult
navigation On the Yukon river, without
adequate means of transportation, will
still be before them, and it is doubtful
if the journey can be completed before
the river is closed by ice.
L am moved to draw public notice to
these conditions by the gravity of the
possible consequences to people detain-
ed in the mountainous wilderness dur
ing five or six months of an arctic
winter, where no relief can reach them

SENATOR STEWARDS OPINION.
Cuban Atrocities Legitimate Parents
of Anarchy.

New York, Aug. 10.-United States
Senator William Stewart of Nevada,
discussing the assassination of Pre-
mier Canovas. said:
Considering the fact that Canovas
was responsible for the Barcelona trials
and sustained .Weyler in his barbarities
in Cuba, it is very evident that the
anarchists got the worst man they
could find to wreak their vengeance
on. The Barcelona trials and the Gu
ban atrocities are the legitimate par
ents of anarchy, on the principle that
crime produces crime. Crime among
the poor and desperate can easily be
suppressed by law. 1t is the subver-
sion of law by rulers that breeds an
archy and revolution among the
masses.
THE test of absolute barbarity of a
nation is it's administration of Grim
inal law. Any country that would COM
pei persons, by torture or otherwise, to
incriminate themselves, is barbarous
and not entitled to recognition in the
family of nations. Thai was what
Spain did under Canovas."
Senator Stewart said that famine
abroad had caused the present boom
in business and it could not be per-
manent under the single gold stand

coLoRADo-UTAH POINTS.
The All Rail and Water Rates Being
Adjusted

u
Denver, Colo, Aug. 1O.-The Times
says this afternoon: Beginning Aug
20 the freight rates between Colorado
and Utah points and the Atlantic coast
will be so adjusted that the war being
carried on between the Mallory and
Lone Star and Morgan lines will have
no visible effect upon the through rates.
This will be brought about by a
restoration of rates by the allrail
routes, and the raising of rates between
Colorado and Utah and the Gulf of
Mexico to such figures, which, added
to the water rate charged by the war
ring lines, will equal the rates over
the allrail lines, and those that con-
meet with Atlantic coast ports by a
part water route, the Burlington, for
instance, which hauls overland as far
as Newport News, and from there by
water.
1T was stated authoritatively today
that the rates between here and Gal
weston over the Gulf road would be so
adjusted as to equal the overland
rates. and will be changed from time
to time as the Galveston-N York
water line rates are raised or lowered
No reason for the raise is given out,
but it has leaked out, and is today the
general topic of conversation in rail-
way circles.
THE reason which is generally as.
signed by outsiders for the action of
the Gulf road in making this change in
its rates from here to Galveston is that
the shipments have been made by the
board of control of the traffic ,associa-
ton which meets in New York Aug. Is
to take final action in this matter. 1t
is rumored that communications have
been received from this board threat
ening the Gulf road with g boycott if
its demands were not acceded to, and
this in part explains the move"

BAD WHISKY IN ABUNDANCE.
Thousands of Gallons Are Now In
Alaska

Seattle, Wash, Aug 1O.-A special to
the Post-Intelligencer from Dyea,
Alaska, Aug. 4. says: Although the
United States statutes strictly prohibit
the Importation of liquor into Alaska,
for other purposes than for medicine,
yet There are thousands of gallons of
alcohol, whisky and brandy being
landed every week. A large part of it
is being shipped to the Klondyke. The
worst kind of whisky finds ready sale
to Indians for IS a bottle. The traffic
iS not restricted alone to these parts of
Alaska, but is common all along the
coast. In almost every bay or neck of
land where Indians live are sloops from
which whisky is sold in abundance
At Dyea and Skaguay, as well as
Juneau, Wrangel and Sitka are found
many saloons running wide open. The
government issues them an internal
revenue license, and at the same time
prohibits the importation and sale of
liquors.

bottom of the sound. The Eliza Ander-
son will be conveyed by the tug Holy
oke, the latter having in tow the small
steamer Merwin. the schooner w. J.
Bryant, and the dismantled steamer
Polly, which will be used as a barge on
the Yukon river, plying between Daw-
son City and st. Michaels. The .Merwin
Will also run on the Yukon
No one knows how old the Polly is.
Her original name was .Politkofsky,
and she was included in the purchase
of Alaska by the United States from
Russia in 1867. At that time the Polly
was Russian gunboat, located at Sit
ka. She was later sold by the United

VIEWED AT HOUSTON.
The Effect of the Southern Pacifc's
New Tariff.

Houston, Aug. 10.-The ocean rate
war between New York and Galveston
has brought a reduction of rates from
California TO Houston. The Southern
Pacific announces, effective Aug. IL, the
tariff on canned goods, beans and peas,
straight or mixed carloads, minimum
weight $4,000 pounds, from California
territory and intermediate points to
Houston, will be lowered to IS cents
per 100 pounds. Canned goods from
Santa Rosa will take a rate of GO cents
per 100 pounds. California wine, ex-
cept champagne, carloads 1000 pounds
minimum, will take So cents per 100
pounds.
This move on the part of the South
ern Pacific has been anticipated for
sometime. In protecting their Texas
business they have injured their Pa
cihc coast business 20 some extent.
and decided recently 10 go it alone in
a reduction of rates to the Texas
points, competing with the water route
via the isthmus and New York.

An Open Rupture Between the NAL
lory and Morgan Lines.

New York, Aug. 1O.-There has come
a rupture between the Mallory and
Morgan steamship lines which for some
time have been engaged ma war with
the Lone Star line, which is operated
by the Southern Pacific railroad people,
Instituted p cut 10 2 cents per 100
pounds. The old ally of the Morgan
line, the Mallory, refused today to meet
the cut.
I'VE want the Southern company to
get all the business it can carry at the
cent rate" was the statement made
at the offices of the Lone Star, which
also refuses to meet the Morgan lines
rate. Since July 10, when the rate war
was begun by the Lone Star entering
the carrying trade in competition with
the old companies, the rate for freight
of the first class from New York to
Galveston had been cut from 81 to 2
cents per 100 pounds. At this latter
rate there is said TO be a large loss to
carriers, the cost of transportating
freight by rail from Houston TO Calves
ton via the Southern Pacific Morgan
lire being Z cents per 100 pounds.
