THAT SILVER RESERVE.
Director Greenfield of the Bank of
EHqLand Gals The lines" to
an Account.

LONDON, Eng, Sept. 12.-Mr. Henry
Riversdale Greenfield, director of the
Bank of England, and former governor,
has letter in the Times this morning, IN
the course of which he says:
As bimetallist and as one of the senior
members OF the bank court l think have
article entitled "A Remonstrance" in your
Saturday issue makes his assertion that the
bank as decided 10 hold fifth OF lis reserve
in silver. Had the bank done its action
would have been strictly in accordance with
the bank act of 1914 and equally in accord
ance with the action taken in 1881 by the
Government, then presided over by mono
metallist MI Gladstone.
What the bnnK did in 1881 was to assure the
treasurer that the bank would always be open
TO the purchase of silver condition of the
minis of other countries 10 such rules as
would insure certainty OF conversion OF god
into silver and of silver into gold. BimeIal-
lists declare that the practical result OF
double standard in France alone was that the
two metals did exchange throughout the world
al legal ratio, or with such slight variation
as might in consideration of this great subject
be neglected.
There is NJ ground for saying that any one
connected with the bank mas officially gone
beyond that position. Indeed l doubt If any
opinion has been recorded or any determine
ton come 10 at ali. Your correspondents
whole letter seems founded on a supposition
preliminary discussions with regard 10 the
watering OF the banks reserve with silver on
the conditions mentioned in 1881.
II an not mistaken the very persons who
deprecate this dilutlon have always been most
DESTROYS Of a much greater dilution by the
issue of pound notes on more or less ffdu-
ciary basis. [ may conclude by saying that
the expression. certain Americans" is
scarcely fitting description OF the Comm is

GUESTS OF SANTA CRUZ.
One Thousand Letter. Enjoy
an Outing and Barbecue at
the Beach.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Sept. 1.-THE
ietter-carriers arrived here to-day at noon,
after short stop at San Jose and visit
to the Big Trees. They left the train at
the ext. of the tunnel at Park and Green
streets and marched through Center,
Laurel and Pacific avenue to the beach,
headed by the New York letter carriers
band. There were 1000 men and women
in line. When they scattered about the
beach many OF them went into the surf.
while others strolled on the sand or sat on
the verandas.
After the visitors had rested or con-
Guided their bathing they were escorted TO
the grounds recently occupied by the
Third Brigade and sat down TO feast of
Darbecned meats with watermelons,
grapes, apples. coffee and other delicac;es.
They were delighted with the rece pt:on
and the dinner pleased them. 1t was a
novelty and gave them the opportunity to
eat together, saving them the necessity of
hun ing for the hotels and restaurants.
When they had finished they scattered
about the city, many going out in car
riages on The cliff driveway and others
stroling about where they could find
something OF interest. At o'clock they
boarded the cars for the return trip,
shouting happy good bys and cheers for
Santa Cruz. The weather was pleasant,
though rather cool in the evening.

MADRID, SPAIN, Sept. 12.-The persist
ence OF the belief that the Carlists are
watching for an opportunity 10 take ad-
vantage of the present embarrassment of
the Government over Cuba as soon as this
can be done without a display of un-
patriotic motives is continually finding
expression in the more independent and
outspoken section of the Spanish press.
Ell impartial, in an article dealing with
conflicting rumors now in circulation, de-
clsres that it has reliable authority for
the statement that the CarIists arc secretly
establishing N elaborate military organi-
cation.
The official dispatch from Havana
giving details of the loss of Victoria de las
Tunas says:
The garrison of Victoria de las Tunas
consisted of $50 men, OF whom 135 were
sick in the hospital. The place capitulated
alter heroic defense. The commandant,
with three officers and seventy-fve men,
marched out. taking with them the sick
and wounded. The Insurgents fired
cannon at the hospital, although the flag
of the Red Cross Society was hoisted over
it at the time. Many of the wounded
persisted in the debris. The insurgents
lost 100 killed"

FATE OF THE ELIZA ANDERSON.
Another Story of the Wrecking of the
Vessel Brought Down From
Alaska.

SEATTLE, WASH, Sept. 12.-Another
story of the wreck of the Eliza Anderson
reached this city to-day. 1t came on the
steamer George E. Starr. Captain Harry
Strive, one of the best known men in
Seattle. was passenger on the Starr from
SKaguay Bay. At Marys Island he was
told by the customs official there that a
schooner had touched that port from
Kodiak Island, reporting that the Eliza
Anderson was wrecked in the vicinity of
Kodiak, with all hands lost.
Captain Sruve did not learn the name
of the schooner which brought the news.
Tie statement was made bv the customs
officer with apparent confidence it its
truth. The Anderson was last seen by the
tug Holykye near Kodiak Island. She
was headed that way for fuel and to get
out OF the way of the furious gale that
was blowing from the southeast While
the story told Captain Strive may not
esta blish the fact of the Anderson's wreck
it gives rise 10 grave fears for her safety.

says Skaguay Pass is closed for the sea-
son, but that many are still fioundering
around in the mud in vain attempt to
get tn rough. The first fourteen miles of
the trail from Skaguay Beach is strewn
with the carcasses Of 800 horses. Eleven
saloons and three dancehalls are doing
business there, but Warner says there is
no trouble, there being no lighting or
stealing.
AtDyea people are still moving slowly
forward, although greatly impeded by
mud and rain. With the exception of
two days. rain has fallen steadily there
for three weeks.
Collector of Customs Ivy is doing a
rushing business in the confiscation of
whisky. He has thirty inspectors on the
beaches and trails, and bet little stuff gets

caught in a sloop few days ago with an
$4,000 stock of whisky. The stock was
seized and Cain sent to the Juneau Jail.
Whisky sells at $50 gallon at Lake

The Olympic Club Man Sets
the Mark for the Distance
at 2:O5:4O.
kroetz and Kingsley, Who Paced
Him, Now Hold the Tandem
Record.

SAN JOSE. CAL, Sept. 12.-E. o. Krag-
ness of the Olympic Club Wheelmen of
San Francisco set a new mark for the
time between Oakland AMI San Jose this
afternoon, making the distance in 2 hours
minutes and 40 seconds.
Kragness left Oakland at o'clock.
Kroetz and Kingsley of the Olympic Club
paced him on tandem as far as San Le-
andre. Then another tandem, on which
were Leaviit and Ferguson, took him to
Alvarado. Kroetz and Kingsley then
vent in front and paced Kragness to Cen
tervilIe, where he was picked up by a
tripIet manned by Loose, Collier and
Schiauter, who helped him to Warm
Springs. Thence George Owen ond Julius
Smith, on q tandem, took him in charge
as far as Milpitas, where he was turned
over to Hardenbr and Larder and
brought TO this city. The time made by
Kragness is 5 minutes and 20 seconds
faster than the bes previous record, which
was 2 hours and Ii minutes, made by
Pickard of the Acme Club. Curtis of the
Alameda Cyclers established an official
record of hours 10 minutes and 10 Sec
onds a few weeks ago. KroetZ and Kings
ley accompanied Kragness all the way
and finished with him, and now hold the
tandem record between Oakland and San
Jose.

OMAHA, NEBR., Sept. 12-The Omaha
Bee, in an editorial under the caption
Bryan as Deadhead, reviews Bryan S
Southern Pacific pass incident and the ex-
PLANTATION he has offered, and concludes
as follows:
The Southern Pacific Is not, however,
the only railroad on which Mr.. Bryan has
been foraging. Mr.. Bryan travelled 10 ST.
Louis some ten days ago ever the Wabash
nual pass. The pass is ostensibiy issued
on account of the World Herald. but
bears on its face the fiat contradiction of
the pre- ense that 1t is business transac-
ton. Railroads do not issue annual passes
in exchange for advertising. In the nature
of things they could not know how often
they would be used, for what distance
and how much advertiser. value they
would represent. If Mr.. Bryan paid the
World Herald for his Wabash annual how
much did he pay and when and where
and on what basis? Did he pay so much
mile or a lump sunni
''The discreditable part OF Mr.. Bryan
deadheading over the railroad arises not
merely from the fact that he poses as the
champion of the anti-monopoly forces
and denounces the railroads for discrimi-
ducers as against the common people who
must pay their way, but also because.
while amply able to pay his fare. he is re-
sorting to deception to cover up his ac-
ceptance of railroad gifts"

That Woodford has sensational de-
mand 10 make upon spain with regard to
Cuba there is no doubt, though he and his
suite maintain the most abso ute secrecy
as to what is the nature OF the message he
bears from the President.
Ex-Minister Taylor, if he knows whether
Woodford's instructions have a warlike
tendency, will not admit it.
He says it is a fact that Minister Wood
ford consulted prominent American
resident OF Madrid in Par as to whether
it would be wise for him 10 take the ladies
of his family 10 his post OF duty.
The answer was that 1t would depend
largely on what demand he bad to make
He was told that if lie was bringing hos

HAS RATIFIED THE TREATY.
Lorin M. 7hurston Talks of the Un-
doubted fiction of the Hawaiian
Islands,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 12-''The
Senate of the national legislature Of the
republic of Hawaii has by this time rati.
fed the treaty. snnexing the Hawaiian
Islands TO the United States"
THIS assertion was made this afternoon
by Lorin NJ. Tnurston, Charge d'Affaires
of Hawaii 10 the United States Thurs
ton said the Senate of the Hawaiian Legs
lature had been called to assem- BILE on
September 8. and had undoubtedly rati-
fed the convention without dissenting
voice.
Just before the adjournment of the two
houses last year j int resolution was
adopted declaring it 20 be the sense of The
Legisla ure that The interests of Hawaii
demanded her annexation 10 the United
States. This was unanimous. AS the
complexion of the Senate and House has
not changed Mr.. Tnurston has no doubt
that all steps possible have been taken
to accomplish annex Ition.
1t is believed in administration circles
that the effect of the ratification OF the
treaty by the Hawaiian Senate will be to
influence some of the members of the
United States Senate now in the doub tful
column to vote for the convention next
session. ALI that is now necessary is ap-
prevail by that body.

hand pounded Molpeck over the heart

him in chair. A moment later the
rancher fell to the floor dead. At the au-
topsy to-day it was found that vessel IN
Molbeck's heart had been burst by the
hard blows, and Demonne must now an
