They Criticize Cages Gold standard Cur
rency Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-There is an
excellent prospect for triangular
misunderstanding between President
Mckinley, Secretary Gage and Sena-
tor Wolcott, of Colorado, growing out
of the belief of the latter gentleman
that he is being trifled with The Col
orado senator, though an ardent silver
man, took his political life in his hands
and supported the republican ticket
last year. When he was made chair
man of the bimetallic commission he
was made chairman of the bimetallic
commission, he accepted the post with
enthusiasm, under the belief that an
international agreement was possible.
He was particularly well pleased with
President McKipley's reference in his
message to the prospects of interna-
tional bimetallism. Hence the Colo
RADIO man was bitterly mortified when
Secretary Gage appeared before the
banking and currency committee and
announced bluntlv and honestly that
one of the objects of his bill was to
commit the country more firmly to the
single gold standard. This Senator
Wolcott has construed as personal
affront and now threatens to resign
from the commission and from the
senate unless Mckinley calls Gage
down.
Senator VIM. f. Chandler has also
issued signal criticism of the Gage
bill, in which he says that ''if Secre-
tary Gage continues to press upon
congress bill. the object of which,
he says, is first, to commit the coun-
try more thoroughly to the gold stan
dard, and the immediate effect Of
which is to throw doubt upon the sim
certify of the presidents declarations
in favor ot continued efforts to Sc
cure bimetallism, political turmoil
will arise in congress, which will split
the now united republicans into frag-
ments, while it will unite and CONSOLE
date the now incongruous opposition. -

Regarding the embarrassment of the
finances of Spain, the London Statist
says: '"The financial embarrassments
of Spain are naturally Weighing heav-
lily upon the Paris Bourse. 1t is COM
monty estimated that French investors
hold together about G160,000, 900
worth of Spanish securities. If, there
fore, there were to be an utter break
down in Spain the losses to France
would be very heavy. 1t is to be recol-
lected that France has suffered much
during the past two years from the
collapse OF the African boom, from
the crash in the East at the time of
the Armenian massacres from the fall
in Spanish that has been going on so
long, and If there were to be another
breakdown the losses would be enor-

FOREIGN VIEWS DIFFER.
Occupation of Port Arthur Regarded
Permanent One.


Permanent One.
LONDON, Dec. 22-Telegrams from
all the continental capitals show that
Russia's step at Port Arthur is re-
garded as tantamount to permanent
occupation and reply to Germany's
action. A well-ipformed ST. Peters
burg correspondent says there was no
agreement between Russia and Ger
many and that the latter simply
warned Russia when the occupation of
Kiao Chau was already decided upon.
The Novoe Vremya pretends that
Japan has no cause for complaint,
''since China ID only giving the same
shelter to Russian ships as Japan had
hitherto SO kindly afforded This
view Is not held in Berlin, where the
papers are already talking of the
possibility of Prince Henry having to
shake his mailed fist at Japan, which
is supposed to be secretly backed up
by England. The Paris papers, with
out pretending to be deceived by Rus
sia's innocent explanations, are pleased
with the action of the ally of France.
The burden of Viennese comment is,
what will England do? The British
feet now in Chinese waters consists of
one ironclad, nine cruisers and
