NOT A CLOUDIN SIGHT
On the Financial Horizon, Says Sec
rotary of the Treasury Gage.

New York July IA special to the
Herald from Washington, says:
The governments financial affairs
are in good shape said Secretary Gage
in an interview. 1--WE have come to the
end of the fiscal year with a good re-
source behind us and brighter hopes for
the future. I feel assured that by the
time June so, 1898, rolls around, the
governments affairs will be in even
better condition while the people of the
country will have cause for tina nkful-
ness that a new era of prosperity has
set in.
with the end of the fiscal year, 1898,
one year ago." continued Secretary
Gage. the gold reserve was only s1O2,-
100000 or just barely above the theoret-
zeal reserve of a hundred million. There
was a fear that before the year was
over there might be very large exports
compelling the administration to again
issue bonds for gold. Now we not only
have a gold reserve of $141. 900, 900. but
there is not a cloud in sight to it's
continuance approximately at that
very comfortable level. This is the
most hopeful sign that I see in the
present condition of the government
finances for when the country is all
right and the government all right, the
gold reserve is sure to be all right and
vice versa.
1.-The business men. capitalists and
investors, not only of our own country,
but of the world, are content with our
situation and prospects. All the nerv-
BUSINESS which formerly held US in it's
tolls had disappeared. In its place we
have confidence in the future conf
dence in the government, confidence in
ourselves. The boarding of gold has
stopped and much of the yellow metal
that was piled away during the depres-
sion has come out and gone into circu-
lation.
The closing of the fiscal year brings
US nearer to the passage of a new tariff
law, which will give business, settled
condition. we hope, for A long time.
That it will also give the government
sufficient revenue for its needs doing
away with the deficit, we have salts

OHIO AS PACEMAKER.

The political contest in Ohio this year
Is certain to possess an interest for the
country second only to that of a ma
tional campaign. Both the RepubH-
cans and the Democrats of the Buck
eye state have marked out the lines
which will probably be followed by their
respective parties throughout the coun-
try.
Ohio has become the pacemal<er, as
it were, for the other states. 1t being
the home of the president and having
honored him in many ways in years
gone by: being also the home of the
man who made Mr.. Mckinley presi-
dent: being the home of the chairman
of the Republican national committee,
who is said to have directed-dictated,
in fact-the action of the state con-
yention, what could be more natural
than the conclusion that the action of
the Ohio Republicans will in a large
measure govern the party'S course
throughout the country?
Since the opposition will be compelled
to contend with all these forces the
contest assumes national Importance.
"A victory for the Democratic ticket will
be in effect a defeat of the national
administration. The Hattie will be
waged on the senatorship.
Mr. Hanna, the Republican candidate,
stands as the personal representative
of the administration policy and of his
party nationally. Mr. Mclean, the
Democratic candidate, stands as the
representative of Bryan and Organism
and of all that is contained in the Chi
cago platform.
The Republicans of Ohio in their plat
form contented themselves with an in
dorsement of the Mckinley admins
tration and declared for no new prin-
ciples. The Democrats, as has been
then custom from time immenoria1 de-
pubIicans ever have done or might
could, would or should do. In addi-
ff0n to this the Democratic convention
Teadopted the Chicago platform of 1896
and made a special declaration in favor
of silver
On the silver plank they will make
their fight. They will enter the cam
paign handicapped by the fact that
their opponents have said nothing
against silver and the additional fact
that the president has in apparent good
faith been endeavoring to carry out the
pledge made at st. Louis that his party
would do it's best to bring about BIZ
n1etallism by international agreement
The result in Ohio may be expected
therefore, to indicate whether or not
the people are willing to wait for the
result of the efforts now being put forth
in this direction.

trip to New York and is at the Caliseo.
Colonel Owen was not prepared to Ga1k

MRS. MACK STICKS TO 1T.
Says Guldensuppe was Not Murdered
and Will Turn Up.

New York, July Mrs. Augusta Mack,
the midwife who is under arrest in con-
nection with the murder of the man
supposed to be William Gu1densuppe,
She insists that Guldensuppe has not
been murdered and that he will turn
up before long. Mrs. Mack slept well
all night She insisted that she saw
Guldensuppe on Saturday, two hours
after the first portion of the body was
found.
The detectives are still continuing
their investigation of the matter and
are making a vigorous search for the
man who supplanted Guldensuppe in
Mrs. Nack's affections. There is con-
siderable sllepticisn among the police
as to the murdered man being Gulden-
suppe, notwithstanding the positive
identification of the deformed finger by
the missing mans friends.
DR.. Corby, four attendants from the
bathhouse and an unknown man called
at the morgue today and positively
identified the legs found yesterday as
those of Guldensuppe.
Guldensuppe was a German 40 years
old. When he asked for leave from
his employer on Monday he said: Il
have made an engagement to go to
Long Island City with the old woman.
She has received an offer of a place
over there, and it is cheap. She wants
me to go along to look at the proper
ty''
Where that place is is not yet known.
It might have been there that his body
was cut up. The detectives have
found no clues in Mrs. Nack's rooms
because she took up all the carpets and
cleaned up the place preparatory to
leaving for Europe. There may be evil
dence of the struggle in the Long ISL
and place when it is discovered. The
feet, which were not, of course in the
morgue until late yesterday, furnished
further Identification of Guldensuppe.
They showed the ca1losities caused by
constant contact with the marble floors
of the bathrooms
Capt. Stephen O'Brien, in charge of
the detectives late last night gave out
a long statement regarding the myster-
iouS case.
1t contains the story of the identifi-
cation of the body as that of Gulden-
suppe by his associates at the Murray
Hill baths.
Mrs. Nack's statement to Captain
O'Brien is given as follows:
81 have been living with VIM. Gull

husband. 1 had trouble with my hus-
band. When / left him Guldensuppe
and I took a furnished room. He was
working a the Murray Hill baths and
earned about $40 a week"
Mrs. Mack says further that on Fri
day last Guldensuppe came home and
saying in anger: you can go where
you want to. All you want of me is
money"
Guldensuppe was about the house I'M

MUTINY AT DIAMOND POINT
Crew of the Braemer Decline to be
Discharged.

Port Townsend, Wash, July There
was a remarkable mutiny at the Dia-
mond Point quarantine station when
the United States physician in charge
ordered the release of 80 members of
the crew of the steamship Braemer,
which recently arrived from Shanghai
with symptoms of small pox aboard.
The men declined to leave and actu-
ally endeavored to persuade the doc
tor that one of their number was de-
veloping symptoms of smallpox. When
informed that they were discharged
and would not be longer fed and paid
wages at the quarantine station, they
reluctantly decided to join the Braemer
at Tacoma.

MILLION ACRES OF LAND
Open for Settlement Where Debs Pro-
poses to Locate.


Chicago, July 1.-The probable location
of Debs' socialist colony is in the north
western part of the state of Washington
where government land is plenty and the
natural advantages numerous. But Cen
eral Miles owns several thousand acres
of land in that region, and a United
States naval station guards the coast.
While nothing definite has been officially
announced, it is well known that WASH
ington is the only state being seriously
considered and the section of the state
indicated is Debs' choice
George Venable Smith. inmigra ton
commissioner of the state of Washington,
who has been in Chicago several days in
conference with the leaders of the Social
Democracy. strongly advises the selec
ton of this section of the state as the
most favorable location.
Clallam county is first choice, owing to
its superior advantages in transportation
and market facilities. Jefferson, Mason,
and Chehalis counties, lying south of the
Olympic mountains, are also being con-
sidered. The three last named are de-
scribed as being rich in timber and farm
land and made up almost entirely of gov
eminent land which is still remote from
railroads and settlements. The climate is
said to be perfect and the land fertile and
well watered. Within the four counties
nfsh homes for all the unemployed in the
United States.
The commission which is to decide on a
location for the cooperative common
wealth experiment has not been appoint
ed, although it is understood Debs will be
chairman of the commission and will
practically dictate it's policy. 1t only
mains for the commission to visit the
country and indorse the selection
IT, 1 M
acres of good government land still open
for settlement. This tract is sufficient to
locate over 5000 families, giving 100 acres
to each, and still leave room for building
and operating all the cooperative indus
tries which have been launched since the
world began.
If the colony wishes to enter the mining
business it has only to capture the Olym-
pic range of mountains, which contain
any amount of coal. iron, and base metals
together with a plentiful sprinkling OF
gold and silver.
If the colony still needs room to ex-
pand it will find nothing but trackless
forests to the south to check its progress.
These forests are said to contain the most
valuable timber in the United States,
which is only awaiting the advent of the
sawmill and the railroad to make it mar
ketable.
Gen. Nelson A Miles is one of the
largest property owners in Clallam coun-
ty. He bought several thousand acres of
valuable timber land a number of years
| ago. Another little circumstance which
may be urged as an objection to the To-
cation of the colony there is the fact that
Port Angeles, the principal town and
| county seat of Clallam county, is also a
port of entry, the naval station Of the
United States Pacific squadron.

Guldensuppe had gone out, but Mrs.
Mack is positive that he returned be-
