THINKS ANDREE SAFE.
An Opinion of an American Who Has
Just Returned from Il Visit.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Capt. John Wind
row, of San Francisco, is visiting his
brother, DR.. S. Windrow, of 233 La Sale
avenue. He has Just returned from Swe-
den, where be visited relatives, among
whom il the family of Professor Andree' 8
brother.
Twas in Stockholm" said the Captain,
"when the news arrived t. at Andree had
left Spitzberen in his balloon. His
hrother's family fully believes that he
will be heard from. Andree himself told
them that if no news was received from
him in two months, probably nothing
would be heard of him Tor year, as he
would have then landed in such Localities
that it would take months for him and
his party to reach point where they
could communicate with the outside
world.
"My own belief is that Andree has
struck southwest wind, as these are the
winds that most usually prevail ut that
time of the year in the northern latitudes,
and that he has teen carried into Siberia,
and it may be many months before he
will be heard from"

CAUSE OF BIMETALLTSM.
Still Room for Hope of an Interna-
tiOnaI Agreement.

Under the provisions G. the act Of Con-
gress approved March 8, 1897 for the pro-
motion Of an international agreement re-
specting b1metallism, I appointed on the
l4th day of April 1897 Edward o. Wolcott
Of Colorado, Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois
and Charles J. Paine of Massachusetts as
special ENJOYS to represent the United
States. They have been diligent in their
efforts to secure the cooperation of Euro
pean countries in the international settle
ment Of the question, but up to this time
have not been able to secure the agreement
contemplated by their mission.
The gratifying action Of our great sister
republic of France in joining this country
in the attempt to bring about an agree
ment among the principal commercial ma
lions of Europe, whereby fixed and rela-
tive value between gold and silver shall
be secured, furnishes assurance that We
are not alone among the larger nations Of
the world in realizing the international
character of the problem and in the desire
Of reaching some wise and practical solu-
ton OF it. The British government has
published resume of the steps taken
jointly by the French ambassador in Lon
don and the special ENJOYS of the United
States, with whom our ambassador at Lon
don actively co-operates in the presenta-
ton of this subject to her majesty's gov
eminent. This will be laid before Con-
gress.

final report, as further negotiations be-
tween the representatives of this govern
ment and the governments of other coun-
tries are pending and in contemplation.
They believe that doubts which have been
raised in certain quarters respecting the
position of maintaining the stability Of the
parity between the metals and kindred
questions may yet be solved by further
negotiations.
Meanwhile, it gives me satisfaction to
state that the special ENJOYS have already
demonstrated their ability and fitness TO
deal with the subject, and it is to be earn
esly hoped that their 1abors may result in
an international agreement which will
bring about recognition of both gold and
silver as money upon such terms and with
such safe guards as will secure the use Of
both metals upon a basis which shall work
no injustice to any cI9ss of our citizens.

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY'S MESSAGE.

States notes are presented for redemption
in gold and are redeemed in gold such
notes shall be kept and set apart, and only
paid out in exchange for gold. This is an
obvious duty. If the holder of the United
States note prefers the gold and gets it
from the government he should not receive
back from the government United States
note without paying gold In exchange for
it. The reason for this is made all the
more apparent when the government issues
an interest bearing debt to provide gold
for the redemption OF United States notes
a misunderstanding debt. Surely it
should not pay them out again except on
demand for gold. If they are put out in
any other way they may return again to be
followed by another bond issue to redeem
them-anOther interest bearing debt to re-
deem non Understanding debt.
To Relieve the Government.
In my view it is of the utmost import
ance that the government should be re-
lieved from the burden of providing all
the gold required for exchanges and ex-
port. This responsibility is alone borne
by the government without any of the
usual and necessary banking powers to
help itself. The banks do not feel the
strain Of gold redemption. The whole
strain rests upon the government, and the
size Of the gold reserve in the treasury
has come to be, with or without reason,
the signal of danger or of security. This
ought to be stopped
If we are to have an era of prosperity
in the country, with sufficient receipts for
the expenses Of the government, we may
feel no immediate embarrassment from
our present currency; but the danger still
exists and will be ever present, menaclng
US so long as the existing system contin-
ues. And besides, it is in times Of ade-
quate revenues and business tranquility
that the government should prepare for
the worst. We cannot avoid without Sc
rious consequences the wise consideration
and prompt solution of this question.
The secretary of the treasury has out
lined a plan in great detail for the pur-
pose Of removing the threatened recur-
renee of a depleted gold reserve and save
US from future embarrassment On that ac-
count. To this plan I invite your careful
consideration.
1 concur with the secretary of the treas
ury in his recommendation that national
banks be allowed to issue notes to the
face value Of the bonds which they have
deposited for circulation, and that the tax
on circulating notes secured by deposit OF
such bonds be reduced to one-half Of
per cent. per annum- 1 also join
him in recommending that authority be
given for the establishment of national
banks with a minimum capital Of $4,000
This will enable the smaller villages and
agricultural regions of the country to be
supplied with currency to meet theil
needs.
1 recommend that the ISSUE of national
bank notes be restricted to the denomina-
ton of SO and upwards. If the sugges-
tons I have herein made shall have the
approval of congress then I would recon-
mend that national banks be required tt
redeem the notes in gold.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 6.-President
Mckinley sent the following message to
congress to-day:
To the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives: 1t gives me pleasure to eX-
tend greeting to the Fifty-f1f congress
assembled at the seat Of government with
many of whose senators and representa-
tives I have been associated in the legis-
Iative service. Their meeting occurs under
felicitous conditions, justifying sincere
congratulation and calling for our CRATE
full acknowledgement to a beneflcent
Providence which has so signally blessed
and prospered us as a nation. Peace and
good will with all the nations OF the
earth continue unbroken.
A matter of genuine satisfaction is the
growing feeling of fraternal regard and
unification Of all sections of our country
the incompleteness of which has too long
delayed realization of the highest blessings
of the Union. The spirit Of patriotism is
universal and is ever increasing in terYor
The public questions which now most en-
gross us are lifted far above either par
tisanship. prejudice or former sectional
differences. They affect every part OF our
common country alike and permit of no
division on ancient lines. Questions of
foreign policy, of revenue, the soundnesS
of the currency, the inviolability OF ma
tional obligations, the Improvement Of the
public service, appeal to the individual
conscience or every earnest ciC1Zeh W
whatever party he belongs or in what
ever section of the country he may re-
side.
The extra session of this congress which
closed during July last enacted important
legislation and while it's full effect has not
yet been realized, what it has already ac-
complished assures us of it's timeliness and
wisdom. To test its permanent value
further time will be required, and the
people satisfied with it's operation and re-
suits thus far are in no mind to withhold
from it fair trial.
Tariff legislation having been settled by
the extra session Of Congress the question
next pressing for consideration is that Of
the currency.

PAN-A LERICAN RELATIONS.
Difficulty Encountered by 81 Minister
to the Greater Republic.

AS to the representation Of this govern
ment to Nicaragua Salvador and Costa
RIGA, 1 have concluded that William L.
Merry, confirmed as minister to the
states of Nicaragua, Costa RIGA and Saliva
dor from the United States shall proceed
to San jose Costa RIGA, and there tenn
pOrarily establish the headquarters OF the
United States to those three states. took
thi, action for what l regarded as the par
amount interests of this country. 1t was
developed upon an investigation by the
secretary of state that the government or
Nicaragua, while not unwilling to receive
Mr. Merry in his diplomatic quality, was
unable to do so because OF the compact
concluded June 90 1895. whereby that
republic and those of Salvador and Hon
duras, forming what is known as
the Greater Republic of Central
America had surrendered to the
representative diet there Of their right to-
receive and send diplomatic agents. The
diet was not willing to accept him be-
cause he was not accredited to that body.
l could not accredit him to that body be-
cause the appropriation law of Congress
did not permit it. Mr.. Baker, tho present
minister at Managua, has been directed to
present his letters OF recall.
w Godfrey Hunter has likewise been
accredited to the governments Of Guate-
mala and Honduras, the same as his pre-
decessor. Guatemala is not member OF
the Great Republic Of Central America,
but Honduras is.
Should this latter government decline
to receive him he has been instructed to
report this fact to his government and
await its further instructions.
