down to very small pieces.
He has been working the claim since
January and since that time his taken
out $4,000 The Swauk placers are old
and we'll known but have been worked
only in a crude way. One man who
owns a claim there has been working it
quietly for six years. during which time
he has made about $50, 900. Mr.. Benton

he made his find. He says the Klon-
dixie has no attractions for him.

The Batteries of the Gold In
tereSts Are Turned
On the Only Important Silver
Country Left.
GOLD OBLIGATIONS
Cannot Be Met If Premium
Goes Much Higher.
Reputation or the Gold Stand
ard Must Follow.

ST. Louis, Aug. "A special to the
Globe-Democrat from Mexico City, Mex.
says:
The continual fall in silver and the cor
responding rise in exchange have reached
the point when this country is brought
face to face with what may be a serious
crisis. No sophistry can hide the real
condition of affairs here. 1t is all very
we'll to say that Mexico can live within
herself and raise a silver basis
natural products that she can sell abroad
on a gold one. This would be perfectly
satisfactory if there was such an enor-
nous increase of wealth resulting from
such conditions that it could bear high
rate of taxation, in order that the gov
ernment might be able to meet its debt
interest abroad by such means without
any extra strain. At this moment Mex
lean bonds are unaltered in London, prin-
cipally owing to the scrupulous eXactness
under the most distressing conditions
with which their interest has been met.
These debts are in gold, and the interest
has to be met in gold. and at this rate of
exchange that interest is excessive and
it is only matter of time, unless there
is favorable change in silver when this
republic will be unable to stand it.
Repudia ton has an ugly sound, but
something very much like it must under
present circumstances finally result. The
great railway corporations and other
foreign companies here have to meet
gold interest with a medium that is ever
decreasing in value. 1t does not matter,
however great the business and their ca
pacity for making money, because the
money earned is inadequate to meet their
obligations abroad. There is only one
thing for them to do, increase their earn
ings over one hundred fold or consider
that their foreign debt was contracted in
silver. - -.-
1t seems hard that the credit of this
government. that is now so high, and the
excellent foreign investments here should
be injured through circumstances over
which they have control. But facts
are facts, and it will be interesting to
watch what will happen unless there is
a sharp rally in silver before long.
Merchants here are paralyzed and all
orders for abroad have been counter
manded. The manager of the Scotch
thread monopoly here has raised prices
on thread 20 per cent and the French inn
porters of dry goods have followed suit.
A prominent banker said that he be-
ieVed exchange would go to $50 per cent
premium. He considered the outlook to
be most serious for this country, in fact,
he considered it too gloomy to speculate
upon.

Newton, Kan, Aug. 7.-Ex-Congressm
Chester 1. Long, who was in the city yes
terday to address the Republican county
convention, said:
There is not an iota of truth in the re-
port that I am a candidate for governor
I have never even thought of such a
thing. The report that 1 am a candidate
for ongressman-at-large is also untrue.
I am not a candidate for any office. 1
want to return to congress from this dis
trict but whether L will be candidate or
trict. 1 will not be a candidate unless
warranted by the statement of the Re
publicans of this district.
Il have been a candidate three times
The first time 1 was nominated on the
first ballot; the second and third times by
acclamatio AS to whether I shall be a
candidate the fourth time remains for the
Republicans of this district to say
This district believes in a protective
tariff. 1t was declared in 1894 when it
was the issue. We were defeated in 1895
because this district was in favor of free
silver. 1 am not ready to concede that
that decision was final, and 1 believe that
when another opportunity is given this
district will declare in favor of the Re
publican position.
''Our defeat was not due to the personal
popularity of the Populist candidate Jerry
Simpson, but to the fact that silver was
the issue. Bryan carried this district by
3,942; Simpson by only 2,S23 votes.''

M'kINLEY ON A TRIP.

PIattsburg, N. Y, Aug. 7.-President
Mckinley and party left Bluff Point
yesterday to attend the midsummer
meeting of the Vermont Fish and Game
league at Isle La Motto, ten miles north

MED by Secretary Alger, Secretary Por-
ter, Senator Proctor and Governor Grout

The weather was perfect and the

After lunch the president held an in

Of New York and Canada. On the ar
rival of the leagues members and
guests, dinner was served in huge
tent with a seating capacity of 500 per-
sons. Every seat was filled.
After several others had responded to
toasts the president was called for.
In answer to repeated calls the presi-
dent spoke briefly of the hospitality of
New England. referring incidentally TO
the New England fOrefatherS and their
civilization, which, he said had pene-
trated every state in the Union.
Cheers greeted the presidents re
marks. Upon leaving he was saluted by
all the yachts in the harbor.

party on board, arrived al Bluff Point

IN BOILING POTASH.
A Human Body Will be Sunk at Rush
Medical College,

Chicago, Aug. 7.-At the Rush >Medi-
cal college today an experiment will be
conducted that will prove unique in the
realm of science.
On the results attained may depend
the ability of the state to convict Adolph
L. Luetgert, the sausage manufacturer,
alleged to have murdered his wife.
In the presence of a number of citi-
zens, medical experts and experts of
the scientific world, human body will
be subjected to a solution of crude pot
ash previously heated to the boiling
point. 1t is expected by those who
have carried on preliminary expert
ments that inside of three hours time
not a vestige of a human being will
renain-not even the smallest fiber Of
a bone. What was a body, it is said
will be only a dark, sluggish, slatish
substance of the consistency of thin
paste. The solution will easily carry
it away and when the last drop has run
from the receptacle the possibility of
the murder of Mrs. Luetgert as the
state conceives it was accomplished, will
be demonstrated.
LATER
Chicago, Aug. THE experiment was
successfully carried out. The body was
destroyed with the exception of a few
small splinterS of bone in two hours. OF
the f1eshy substance only a small guam
tity of fluid about the consistency of
mOlaSSeS remained.

TOPEKA GETS A PIGEON
And 1t Has a Silver Ring Con-
tanning Figures on Its Leg.

There was excitement in the federal
building this morning which for time
bore some evidence of being genuine
sensation.
When engineer J. J. Harter went to
his private room in the basement of the
building this morning he found q
pigeon of the carrier variety on top of
the lookingglass. Its feathers were
disordered and it looked as if it had
come long way. The bird was nearly
starved, and when Engineer Harter Sc
cured some wheat it ate greedily.'
When Mr.. Harter told the employees
of the building of his discovery they at
once suggested that the bird might be
one of AndreeS pigeons and they troop
ed to the basement to make an investi-
cation. 1t had on its right foot a Ger
man silver ring with "97'' and ''24"
stamped on it. Two letters which ap-
pear to be IS. w" were also found on
the ring. They looked under the wings
of the bird and examined it carefully,
but there was no message and neither
was Andree's name stamped upon its
wing.
So Engineer Harter has decided that
the bird is not Andree's. but has es-
capped from someone living near To-
peka and he will surrender it to the
owner on demand. 1t is a mystery
how it secured entrance to the base
ment, for all the windows were closed.
