COMING REPORTS.
What the Heads of Government De-
partments Will Recommend.
THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The reports
now being prepared by the heads of
the various departments of the govern
ment are expected to contain some in
teresting recommendations to con-
gress From the treasury department
some suggestions on the currency ques-
tion are looked for. The postmaster
general, as is we'll known, will make a
feature of postal savings banks. From
the war and navy departments there
are expected some interesting data
and recommendations regarding forti-
fcations and naval equipment. The
Hawaiian and Cuban questions will
probably figure in the presidents mes
sage, and from the department of JUS
tice may come suggestions touching
matters that have been before it this
summer. One of the ideas which Sec
rotary Wilson, Of the agricultural de-
partment, will advance in his
report is that of having agricultural
attaches at United States embassies
and legations in Europe, just as mill
tailed to some of these stations.
Interest in the immigration question
is likely to be greater in the present
congress than it was in the last. The
recent troubles in the Pennsylvania
coal regions have attracted great
deal of attention to certain foreign
elements that have gained entrance to
this country. The bill which President
Cleveland vetoed just prior to going
out Of office will be revived and proba-
bly, made much stronger. The princi-
pal feature Of this bill was the educa-
tional test, which, 1t Is claimed, would
keep out almost all Of the undesirable
immigrants and not AFFECT more than
Eve per cent Of those coming from
Great Britain, Germany, Norway and
Sweden and other European countries
that furnish an intelligent, hard
working and desirable class Of immi-
grants, who come here with the inten-
ton of becoming citizens Of the United
States" T. v. Powderly, commissioner
general of immigration, has long been
convinced that the character Of thou
sands of Europeans who come to the
United States Is such that stringent
laws should be passed to keep them
out He Is now in q position to ad-
vance his ideas with the probability Of
thetf receiving attention, and 1t is like
IL that he will make recommendations

GOLD PRODUCTION.
It Has Increased in the United States
with Marvellous Rapidly.
COLORADO TO THE FRONT.
Its Mines Being Worked to Their Utmost
Capacity-The United States WIN
Yield One-Third OF the Worlds
Gold Output.

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-Gold production
in the United States has increased
with marvellous rapidity during the
current year. The craze of the Klon-
dixie river regions should not obscure
the great facts as they exist, Klon-
dike's total yield for 1897 seems,
roughly, to be about $4,000, 900. That is
a comfortable sum, but it is a mere
nothing when compared with the won
derful output of the yellow metal In
the United States.
California alone will yield over $780,
900, 900 worth of dust. But she will be
hard pushed this year by the centen-
NAL state, even if not surpassed. OF
the commonwealth which will rival
California a fair estimate cannot be
made owing to the peculiar disabilities
of Colorado as distributing center.
Its mines are being worked to their
utmost capacity, and the yield for 1897
is estimated by conservative men at
S24, 900, 900. When it is seen that the
gold receipts at Denver alone for three.
quarters OF year are all but s., 900, 900,
or double what they were last year,
some notion of the tremendous activ-
tiles in gold mining may be arrived at.
The large mines in the Black Hills
are expected to turn out 81, 500, 900 OF
gold. The estimates for other states
are as follows: Arizona, So, 500, 900; Mon
tana, 5000, 900; Idaho, S4.OOO,0OO, and
Oregon, $4,000, 900. Washington, Wy
oming, New Mexico and Nevada will
also be heavy producers, and their
yield will be enormously increased.
Counting the Klondike output with
that of the United States, where it is
usually classed, the yield of the United
States for 1897 will exceed $50, 900, 600
one-third of the worlds estimated out
nut for the wear.

Judge Foster Says Il Is Deadly Weapon
Gov. Smiths Alleged AssaIlant on Trial.
LEAvENwORTH, Kan, Oct. 12.--Joseph
w. Oliver, the veteran charged with
having blown up the residence of Col.
A. j. Smith at the soldiers home with
dynamite, was arraigned in the United
States court on two counts-attempt-
ing to murder Gov. Smith and attempt
ing to commit manslaughter on
Mrs. Smith. His attorneys argued
at length to quash the indict-
ment on the ground that dynamite was
not deadly weapon. Judge Foster
held that dynamite and giant powder
were both deadly weapons when it de-
veloped that they were used with evil
intent. He also ruled that Oliver
should be tried under the statute fix
ing three years in the pen itentiary for
attempted murder and two for man
slaughter.

New York. Nay 19.-Meetings were
held in all the big east side halls last
night at which garment makers gen
orally discussed the strike question.
The preponderance of opinion seemed
in favor of adopting aggressive meas
ures to force the contractors and, In
cidentally. the manufacturers to grant
better wages. The price lists are being
prepared today, and will be submit
ted to mass meeting tonight.
At conference last night of the
committee representing the United
Brotherhood of Tailors and the Pro-
gressive Tailors II was decided that the
latter, umbering 1850, would strike
this morning, which they did. Leader
Schoenfeld, who presided at the con-
ference, said he anticipated a general
strike today or tomorrow, involving at
least $4,000 garment workers In this city,
Brooklyn and Brownsville. The knee
pants makers, vestmakers, overcoat
makers, sailors jacketmakers and
other affiliated bodies are expected to
fall in line before the end of the first
week of the strike.
More than 400 contractors met last
night, and after protracted discussion
of the situation decided to appoint
committee to confer with the strike
leaders. This Is considered An indica-
ton that the contractors are willing
to take side with the strikers in the
matter of forcing the manufacturers
to pay higher prices, thus enabling the
contractors and middlemen to pay the
operators better wages.
