Any Money Standard That Injuries

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-Secretary
to President Gompers, of the Federation
Of Labor:
IF it be true that the gold standard
by which things have been measured
as to price for the last sixty years in
this country-is inimical to the inter-
ests of the laboring classes of the Unit
ed States, then I think it is inimical to
all classes. In other words, do not be-
lieve that the spoilation of one class by
another, either through false weights,
partial laws, or a bad monetary sys-
tenn, can be made to work for the per-
manent benefit of the class itself, or for
the general veal, even were 1t defens-
ible on any ground Of right or justice,
which 1t is not. Granted therefore, that
the permanence Of the gold standard
(for which 1 argue) operates in this
evil direction, then your resolutions of
condemnation are we'll founded, and
am justly charged, either with an ig-
norance which constitutes me foolish
adviser, or with a perversity Of motive,
which makes me an evil adviser.
II have right to Cisavow the charge
of perversity of evil purpose, since there
Is nothing in my whole life as related
to my fellow men, either in word or

This confession, however, ought not to
classify me as separate from my fell
low men generally, whether they be
considered as individual units or as
congregated in groups. Ignorance is a
relative, not an absolute term, since few
are totally ignorant, and none is abso-
lutely wise. Nor does the number con-
shutting the group change this fact,
since the wisdom Of a group, however
large, cannot be greater than that of

Uncertainty as to Any Land Grant
Shortage Alleged.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Acting Secretary
Ryan, of the interior department, has disap--
proved list No. 40, embracing lands selected
ington, on account of the grant to the North
ern Pacific Railroad company. Lands located
opposite the portion of the road between
Portland, Or, and Tacoma, Wash, was speci-
fed as basis for the selections Some doubt
appears to exist whether there is deficiency
in the grant to the Northern Pacific, as has
been reported to congress, and IN November
approximate deficiency in the entire grant Of
$50, 573 acres This, the acting secretary
holds, shows there has been no actual ascer-
tainment Of the amount Of the deficiency or
that any deficiency exists. Litigation and I'M
certainty in the matter prevent him, the act
ing secretary says from finding or saying
with any degree of confidence, or at all, that
there is an ascertained or established de1c-
iency In the grant, and the list is therefore
disapproved. The company will select other
bases for selections.

JAPAN's ATTITUDE.
No Longer Opposed to the Annexa-
ton of Hawaii

No Longer Opposed to the Annexa-
ton of Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-Ministar
Hoshi, of Japan, was in conference with
Secretary Sherman at the state DEPART
ment today. The status of the Ha.
vain negotiations has changed mater
tally since the minister's return from
Japan. There Is no further protest on
the part Of the Japanese government to
the annexation of the islands, and, in
deed, it is asserted that Japan's policy
never went to the extent of a positive
protest. In any event, that branch of
the question Is considered closed and
the present purpose Of the Japanese au-
thor1t1es 1s to secure specific assurances
from the United States that In case Ha-
wall is annexed, all japanese interests
viii be fully protected. In the last let
ter Mr.. Sherman wrote to Minister
Hoshi on the subject of annexation, he
made prominent the assurance that all
japanese interests in Hawaii would be
amply safeguarded. The desire, there
fore, Is to convert this general assur
eDce into specific guarantees. 1t is said
that this does not include an assurance
of the continuance of the existing i'm
migration treaty between Japanese and
Hawaii, as that Is revocable by it's
terms in six months, and the revoca-
ton would apply in case Hawaii be-
came part of the United States.
There is likely to be considerable diff
ference Of opinion and rather prolong-
ed negotiations over the exact extent
Of the guarantees to be given Japan.

science held by the wisest men who
supported them

Laying these general considerations
aside, let me say to you, and through
you to the great body you so honorably
represent, that if instead Of denuncia-
tory resolutions, which are not .argu-
ment, you or any one on your behalf,
will show that the views I entertain
and advocate are other than salutary
to the great economic body Of which
we are all independent members, will
abandon them without hesitation. My
present conviction, the honest fruit of
sincere study and reflection, is that a
breakdown in our present money
standard would be q most disastrous
blow to all our commercial and indus
trial interests, and that upon the wage
workers, as a class, would be entailed
the most serious effects Of the disaster.
Believing this, I must so bear witness"

WESTERN PASSENGER MEETING.
Nothing Done Regarding North Pa
cific Coast Rates.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Dec. 22.-The Western
Passenger association meeting began in this
city yesterday and adjourned this afternoon.
The question of inaugurating some new
plan for the sale of homeseekers' excursion
tickets, whereby none but bona fide home
seekers could take advantage of the tickets,
was taken up again this morning, and after
lengthy discussion agreement was
reached. A proposition that was advanced
was to restrict the sale of these ticQets to
party rate tickets. the parties to consist Of
three or more. The proposition was not ap-
proved and homeseekers' excursions will be
run on the old plan during the winter by
the Southern and Southeastern lines, but the
Northern and Northwestern lines will drop
them. Nothing was done regarding the
North Pacific rate situation. The associa-
ton allowed a rate of II 1-3 cents on the
certificate plan to the stock growers con-
vention, which meets in Denver in January.

RAILWAY EXTENSION.
Total for the Current Year Not a
Large One.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The Railway Age
makes the following statement Of new rail-
way lines built in the year 1897:
While the year 1897 has shown larger rail-
way earnings and better business conditions
than Its immediate predecessors, the marked
improvement in the financial outlook did not
begin early enough in the year for the COM
pletion Of many new railway undertakings;
and so it now appears that although much
construction work is under way the mileage
of track actually laid is bus little greater
than that for the preceding year. The low
est point in twenty years in respect to rail-
way building. was reached in 1895. when only
1903 miles Of track were added and 1897 has
done a little better, the total now reported
to us being 1854 miles.
California stands first with 210 miles laid
on nine different roads. No track was laid
in New Hampshire, Rhode Island Connect
cut, Maryland, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mex
leo, Indian Territory, Arizona, Wyoming or
Nevada, and five others barely escaped from
this category by getting credit for from one
half mile to a mile and a quarter. At the
commencement of 1898 the United States will
have 1874, 464 miles of completed railway.

BANKRUPTCY MEASURE.
some Bill VIII Probably Pass This

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-There is a
very favorable outlook for the passage
Of the bankruptcy bill, and even the
opponents Of the measure concede their
conviction that 1t will pass both houses.
The majority Of the Democrats in the
house, in all probability, will vote
against it. They feel that its involun-
tary feature will allow the creditor
class Of the East to Cypress the poor in
the West when the latter are the least
able to be borne down upon, while the
voluntary phase Of the proposed legis-
lation will encourage dishonesty. The
opposition, however, has felt it useless
to organize to defeat the measure and
they will simply put themselves on
record. The bill has been reported to
the house and will be taken up very
soon.

NOT DEEP ENOUGH.
Grain Rate Cut Does Not Please the
Western Roads.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The Western roads are
greatly dissatisfied at the reductions in grain
rates ordered by the Joint Traffic association.
They say that the reductions are not great
enough to keep the traffic from being diverted
to other channels, and that they will not pre-
vent the cutting of rates or add to their
stability in any way. The Western lines are
very warm about the matter, and say that no
reduction at all would have been better than
the cuts made by their eastern connections.
They could, they say, handle just as much
business at the Old rates as they can at the
new rates, and that there was therefore no
reason for cutting the rates If they We're not
to be cut deeper than they have been cut.

DAKOTA r.. II. COMMISSIONERS
Get Some Pointers About the steen-
erson Case.

Chairman George H. Keyes and Secretary J.
E. Phean of the North Dakota railroad COM
mission, called yesterday at the office Of
the Minnesota commission to get some point
in the now famous Stevenson rate case. AS
will be remembered, the North Dakota legisla-
ture last winter passed a bill designed to fix
maximum rates for roads doing business in
the state. This law was about to be pro-
mulgated when some of the roads had the
state en1ofned from acting, and now the COM
mission is to make test as to Its right to
say what constitutes a reasonable rate. A
special master in chancery has been appoint
ed by the court and will begin the taking
of testimony after the first of the year at
Bismarck.
Being unfamiliar with the details of a case
Of this character, the members of the North
Dakota commission were glad to receive the
suggestions of their Minnesota brethren.
