lowing news from China and Japan:
Russia has obtained from the Core

1t is stated by the japanese newspa-
pers that the Chinese have formed a

yer obtainable, in anticipation Of the
adoption of the gold standard after Oc
tober 1st. 1t is feared that sufficient
silver may be collected, when Hong
kong and Singapore are taken into con-
sideration, to purchase all the gold
coins minted. The Government is
alarmed at this prospect, and is study
ing to avert the catastrophe. Some adj
wise it to stop the exchange altogether,
While others suggest that a restriction
should be placed on the aggregate
amount of the exchange, and this
should not exceed $4,000 yen daily.

SAN FRANCISCO SUPERVISORS
Auditor Broderick Refuses to Rec
ognize Either Board.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22.-The Su-
pevisorial muddle was further involved
this morning by the the refusal of Au-
ditor Broderick to recognize either of
the tax levies submitted to him by the
old and new Boards of Supervisors.
After several days of legal wrangling
he saye he cannot make up his mind
which of the two levies is the correct
one, and that, therefore he will let the
Supreme Court decide the momentous
question for him, so as to avoid any
possibility of mistake. He will proba-
bly, be mandamused by both boards.
Thomas Morton, a member of the old
Board of Supervisors. applied to the
Supreme Court late this afternoon for
a writ of mandamus to compel Auditor
Broderick to recognize the validity of
