MEXICO WANTS GOLD,
And May Offer Great Inducements to
Miners of the Metal.

CITY OF MEXICO Mexico Aug. I'll
The attention of the government is being
given to the pressing questions growing
out of the severe decline in silver and it
is reported that among the plans under
consideration is one aiming at accumula-
ting slowly large stock of gold of native
production. The plan contemplates offering
absolute exemption from federal. state and
municipal taxation of all gold mines which
shall be opened up and to impose heavy
duty on the expectation of gold, the gov
eminent to give the gold miners depositing
their bars with the treasury it's value,
based on the exchange on the day when
the deposit shall be made. paying the full
value in silver dollars. With gold so de-
posted a gradual gold fund will be accu-
mulated, enabling the government IN an
imperceptible manner, without deranSng
the present conditions of trade and finance,
to go upon the gold basis after a rev
years, if it should then deem it wise to
adopt gold standard. Substantially, TINS
scheme has been proposed before by one
of the most eminent bankers here, ana mas
been again discussed within few Gays IN
banking circles.
Orders were received here to-day from
London and Amsterdam for government

an indication of belief in a recovery IN

Every day finds a new chain bound about
the neck of man, longer the tyrant, but
the abject slave of woman. She has got

laws protecting her from him, while he
has not one protecting him from her; she
has taken to military drill somewhere over

Waterman and a lamp lighter: she is on her

she beats him bicycle. she runs farms

questions before he can get a clerkship.
OF twenty-eight who presented themselves
in competition for a place as stenogr apher
in Albany only eight women got a rating
of over 80, that entitled them to be nut on
the eligible list. The commissioner in
charge said it was because they were not
natural gamblers. therefore not cool when
they took chances, also too delicate and
high strung. The doctor went around and
felt of the pulses of the applicants. The
men sat around pulsating only seventy 10
ninety times a minute. while the women
were fiuttering at from ninety to 14O and
one of them said that she simply couldn' I
see her typewriting machine. Well, but it
might be said that this puts them out of
competition. What nonsense! You cannot
check the onward march of woman and her

get a place under the civil service then in
her case, the civil service must be given up.

sHERMAN's REPLY TO JAPAN.
In Line with His Previous Letter on
the Annexation Question.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-Secretary
Sherman has received prompt acknowledge
ment from Minister Hoshi, of Japan, of the
secretary's letter of last Saturday relating
to the annexation Of Hawaii to the United
States. Mr.. Hoshis acknowledgment is
formal and does not go into the merits Of
the subject as the answer to Secretary
Sherman's last note will not be made until
word is received from the japanese Foreign
Office. The dispatches of Thursday con-
tanned all of the features of Secretary Sher-
mans note, with one exception, namely:
Japan's prior note referred incidentally to
reports that a majority of the inha bitant S
of Hawaii I'D not favor annexation. MT.
Sherman'S answer takes issue with this
statement. and urges at some length that
the preponderance of influence in Hawaii
is favorable to the annexation of the ISL
and to the United States. Aside from TINS
and the approval expressed in the plan OF
arbitration between Japan and Hawaii on
the immigration question, the Sherman note
is enlarged argument of Mr. sherman 5
former letter stating the attitude of the
United States favorable s-to annexation.
The report that Mr. Sherman did not enter
into argument, as it would be reopen
ing of the case with Japan, is not correct,
a. the secretary's letter is very full argu-
ment on the entire question involved.

Save the Savings.
Leslie's Weekly.


Whenever great public interest is mani
tested in any new discovery of mineral
wealth there are hundreds of sharp men
who organize schemes by which they can
get hold of the savings of the thrifty poor
under the pretense that for each dollar in
vested in their enterprise small fortunes
will be gained. This was the case thirty
years ago, when new petroleum fields were
being prospected, and it is the case to-day
with the gold fields in Alaska and the
northwest territory OF Canada. Between
now an early spring hundreds of enter
prises will be advertised, and the public will
be asked to contribute many millions of
dollars in mere prospecting ventures. This
is gambling of the worst type, as the shares
will surely be made out in low figures, so
that every one can purchase. 1t is. indeed.
nothing but new form of lottery. and we
suspect that, hit or miss, the only gamers
III any of these ventures will be the smart
adventures who open offices to send out
f1orid prospectuseS and to receive subScrip-
lions. They will surely do well if the public
be but lured by their tales of the wealth
that is waiting the coming of their agents.
We have nothing to say against men of
means, who can afford to lose, taking as
many flyers" as they choose in this far
northern land of gold. but we most serious
ly counsel the poor. the thrifty and the
Woodworking to keep their savings in the
banks, where they can be had when that
probable rainy day shall dawn and a lean
cupboard open for hungry brood.

WEYLER IS HIS FRIEND
SPANS NEW PRIME MINISTER WILL
KEEP THE GENERAL.
He Is in Accord with the Butchers"
Proposed Claims Commission.

MADRID. Aug 21.-General Azcarraga,
the premier and minister for war has de-
cided 10 convoke the Cortes in November.
The premier announces that he is in &C
cord with General Weyler. the captain gen
eral of Cuba, but he reserves the right TO
make a further examination of the Cuban
question. In conclusion the premier pro-
claims himself as being the head of the
government, not the leader of any party.
General Marcelo Azcarraga, yesterday
appointed prime minister of SPAIN in place
of the late Canovas del Castillo. is as cor
daily hated by Cubans as was his unfor-
tunate predecessor. He is an intolerably
proud Castilian who for years has used the
army and the court for his own advantage.
He has sympathized with the Weyleriap
methods of Canovas in all the cruelties
that have thrived in Cuba. AS minister of
war he wrought the undoing of the mOder-
ate Martinez Campos, whose fairness I'M
fitted him for the slaughter-house purposes
of Canovas in Cuba. Some time ago. when
it was proposed to recall Weyler and send
the newly appointed premier. then war
minister. to the island, Cubans with one
voice cried out that Weyler might as we'll
be kept This is the kind OF man, say
the Cubans. who is now to rule Spain.
a Spaniard of very aristocratic blood, a
monarchist of the most pronounced stripe,
and q thorough believer in lnqutsitlon
methods, he will probably give cause TO
Cuba to regret the assination OF CanoVas,
little though the patriots nave had 10 90
with that unhappy affair. AZcarraga is
brave naughty, jealous of Spanish PROV
ess, and his conduct of affairs In the pres
ent Spanish crisis will be watched with in
tense interest by all Europe and a good
bit of America

AFFECTS MANY CASES
ONE OF BUsSEY'S MOST IMPORTANT
PENSION RULINGS REAFFIRMED.
Widows to Receive Better Treatment
than Under Last Administrations
Sherman's Letter to Japan.

WASHINGTON, Aug 2.-Assistant Sec
rotary Webster Davis rendered an impor-
tant decision to-day, reaffirming the ruling
of Assistant Secretary Bussey, in 1890, in
the leading case of Mary A. Cox, widow
claimant. He holds that where the evil
dence shows the cause for pension was
complicated with E. disease which was the
immediate cause of the soldiers death, the
widows claim on account of the death from
these complications will be sustained the
death being held to be in the line of duty
in the service. This rule laid down by
General Bussey governed the action of the
Pension Bureau in adjudicatng pension
claims of this nature until, during the last
administration, it became practically ig-
nored or was medically disregarded Under
the theory that it had been, in effect, super
seeded or measurably revoked by decisions
in the cases of Ernest Bierbaum and Alma
Neidhammer The department now holds
the Bierbaum and Neidhammer cases do
not materially conflict with the Cox case,
which, it is ruled, lis based on reason and
good judgment and in accord with the lib
eral and generous spirit of construction
of the pension laws
1t is not improbable that official announce
ment will be made In a few weeks OF a
radical change in the present attitude of
the Pension Bureau toward pension claim
ants who had a Confederate war service
Under the present construction of the laws
any service in the Confederate cause, ire
spective of later service for the govern
ment, is a bar to pension. Commissioners
of Pensions Evans believes that if a claim
ant served in any capacity in the Confed-
crate service, but later deserted or left its
ranks enlisted in the Union army served
therein and was honorablyv discharged it
would be an injustice to refuse him a pen
sion. He believes that having performed
honorable service in the Union army the
past hostile service should be overlooked.
Assistant Secretary Webster Davis, whose
decisions have been in the line of liberal
construction of the pension laws. is under
stood to have similar views. The question
has been referred to the President and Sec
nrnrOVal.

CLAIMS OF AMERICANS.
Attempt VIII BE Made to Settle Them
After the War Is Over.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-It is probable
that convention will be negotiated be-
tween Spain and the United States for
the settlement of all claims on account
of the Cuban trouble by claims
commission similar to that appoint
ed in 1871, which settled the claims of
citizens of both countries after the insur-
rection of that time. 1t can be stated that.
although numerous claims of American
citizens against the government of Spain
for injuries done their persons and proper
ty in the island of Cuba during the present
revolution have been filed with the State
Department no formal presentation OF
these claims has been made to the SPANS n
government by the secretary of state. al
though, as soon as these claims have been
filed at the State Department, a notice of
such filing has been presented TO the or
eign Office at Madrid. 1t is doubtful, under
the present circumstances, whether II any
formal presentation of the claims were
made at this. time, Spain would recognize
1t. The administration is, therefore, re-
solved to follow the precedent in this mat
ter and to await the cessation of HOSTILE
ties, and meanwhile to negotiate treaty
or convention for the appointment of a
claims commits sion. General Woodford in
his instructions, was directed to negotiate
such a convention as was arranged by
General Sickles with the Spanish govern
mpnt in 1871.

Claws Memory of Faces.

Youths COMPANION.
1t is said that no man ever had a more
marvellous memory for faces than Henry
Clay. The instances given to prove this are
numberless.
On one occasion he was on his way to
Jackson, Miss. and the cars stopped for a
short time at Clinton. Among the crowd
who pressed forward was one vigorous old
man who insisted that Mr.. Clay would rec
ogniZe him. He had lost one eye.
Where did know you?" asked Mr.. Clay,
fixing keen glance on this man.
In Kentucky" was the reply.
Had you lost your eye before then. or
have you lost it since?" was the next ques-
ton.
Since" answered the old man.
Turn the sound side of your face to me
so I can see your profile" said Mr.. Clay,
peremptorily and the man Obeyed. Il have
it!' said Mr.. Clay. after moments scru-
tiny of the profile. Didn't you give me a
verdict as juror at Frankfort KY. in the
famous case OF the United States against
Innis, twenty-one years ago."
Yes, sir" cried the old man, trembling
with delight.
And isn't your name Hardwicke?' %
queried Mr.. Clay. after another minute.
II told you he'd remember me- cried the
old man turning TO the crowd. HE never
forgets face, never forgets face
