one of the large department stores i'll

notbe known until a careful invcstiga-

DENVER, Colo, June 4.-Rev. Myron
w. Reed, national president OF the
Brotherhood of the Cooperative Com
monwealth of which Eugene V. Debs
and Henry d. Lloyd are the chief pro-
moters, said: The experiment will
first be tried in Utah. We have chosen
Utah because the Mormons have al
ready proved that cooperation i'll many
ways can be made a success. Our idea
is to establish cooperative communities
of 100 people in each community. We
believe that in a community OF LOCO,
picked up as we find them, will be dis
covered about the right material neces.
sary for the different vacations. When
the system has been made a success In
Utah, its friends can proceed to carry
the educational facilities into other
states
1t is the intention to select a location
for the first community ext fall, sc
that the settlers may move upon the
and and break ground for crops nex1

Utah between the Rio Grande Western
md the Union Pacific railways is adj

ideal community, and others advocate {

EXEMPT FROM CIVIL SERVICE Law
Assistant District Attorneyships Left
to the SpOiIsmen.

Washington, Dec. 13.-To-day the civil
service commission settled the long dis
puted question of whether assistant dis
trict attorneys in the various states are
exempt from the civil service regulations
by deciding that they are denied protes
ton under the law.
This conclusion was reached in reply
to a question raised by Senator Pritchard
of North Carolina, chairman of the civil
service committee. Senator Pritchard is
an ardent anti-civil service reformer, and
he is making fight against the COM
mission. The decision rendered to-day is
according to Senator Pritchards liking,
for it will enable him to have a voice in
two additional appointments in his state.
There is considerable buncombe in all
this agitation over the civil service ques-
ton, and senators and representatives,
who are engaged in the game of attacking
the civil service law, are simply trying
to throw dust in the eyes of their Office
seeking constituents. There is no pros
pect of a material change in the law being
made, and the very men who are kicking

have it otherwise IL they had the deciding

ST. Petersburg, Dec. 3.-The Novisti says
the absence of protests from the other
powers at Germanys evident determination
to remain at Kiao Chou bay indicates that
the partition of China has actually be-
gun, and will proceed quickly.
Another newspaper expresses the belief
that the United States, among other DOW

Russian official circles, however, appear
Indifferent to the step taken by Germany.
Berlin, Dec. 13.-A number Of civic, mil
itary and university deputations at Kiel

Saturday to wish him bon voyage.
The rector of the university said: I'm
all German lands the feeling prevails that
we are reaching a decisive turning point
in the history of Germany. The German
universities, which are the nurseries, not
only of science, but of patriotism, stand
beside the fatherland, whenever its honor
or greatness are at stalIe.''
Prince Henry replied: 81 enthusiast

the personal instance of the emperor, and
with @the consciousness of thereby con-
tributing to Germanys might and great
ness"
The prince added: There are reasons
to hope for a peaceful solution of the diff

st. Louis Mo-, Dec. 13-Ex-ControlIe
James II. Eckels, who is in the city as a
guest of the Commercial Club, delivered
a speech before that body tonight, taking
as his subject, "A Great Nations Weak
ness"
He said, in part: "This nation stands out
from all its sister nations as having mone-
tary and financial laws which invite pub
lie disgrace and private disaster The
government now presents the rather pitia-
BILE spectacle of a boasted great nation
resting its monetary integrity upon the
mere chance of having a man of sound
principle and strong sense of right in the
executive chair. If by the accident of an
election man of upsound monetary views
or weak will should be placed in Office the
whole financial fabric would go to pieces
and the country would find itself without
credit at home or standing abroad.
1.-THE banks of the country are strong
enough to undertake the issue Of all the
credit currency that circulates. II they
are too weak to support safe
ly guarded bank note issue based on
assets by which the commercial needs or
the country only can be responded 10. the
government Is no less weak The insoIv-
ency of the one would mark the insoiv-
ency of the other. for when a point Ia
reached where the combined assets of the
couhtry's banks will not bear the volume
OF currency needed to carry on the coun-
trys business, the government as well as
the individual, will be hopelessly involved

of the Currency James II. Eckels, when
asked to-day if he agreed with the recon-
mendations as to the currency made by
President Mckinley in his recent message
to congress, said: Il think they are very
good as far as they go. He does not go far
enough, in my opinion, when he says GER
tain things ought to be done if possible
Things that ought to be done should be
done, especially when they so vitality touch
the country's business life. The President
admits that $346, 100000 greenbacks, and $12,-
100000 Sherman legal tender assets should
be taken up and would / dare say, like
to see it done; but IL is a conditional prob
lem with him. Those notes are simply a
debt and the only way to get rid of a debt
