Two letters of George H Thomas have

his state or with his country. Lee and the

up their commissions in the army and
joined the Confederacy. Thomas. after
long aDd serious consideration, remained

Message for Currency Reform.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-At the Cabinet
meeting to-day the currency commission
message did not cause any discussion. be-
cause it is now understood that the Presi-
dent is settled in his determination to send
it to Congress- and only awaits
notice from the party leaders as
to the time when this can be
done without interfering with the pro-
pramme arranged for the disposition of the
tariff bill. The President himself does not
believe that the sending of the message at
this time would delay action on the tariff
bill in the least. holding that the discussion
in open Senate and House could be con-
Quoted during the time the conferees on
the tariff bin are at work in their room.
He is, however willing to defer in this
matter to the opinions of certain Repub-
Hcan congressman, who take
contrary view and will not send
in the message until advised that
it will not jeopardize the tariff measure.
Foreign affairs and notably the Hawaiian
situation, are believed to have absorbed
much Of the attention of the meeting to-
day, and while it is stated that there has
been no sensible change in the situation as
to Hawaii ii Is known that the President
very much desires speedy action the an
nexation treaty, feeling that its approval
will do much to remove complications that
now threaten.

Do Not Fancy the Idea of Uncle Sam
AnneXing Hawaii

San Francisco, Dec. 5.-Toru Hoshi,
envoy extraordinary and minister plen-
i%potentiary from Japan to the United
States. was a passenger from the Orient
on the steamship City Of Pekin. He
left tonight for Washington, carrying
with him important instructions in ref
erence to the Hawaiian treaty of an
nexation which will be considered by
the United States senate.
Several months ago he hurriedly left
Washington for Japan. He left just af-
ter the publication of his correspond
ence with Secretary Sherman with ref
renee to the Hawaiian question. Dis
patches from Washington declared that
he was angry with Sherman and the
administration for their advocacy OF
annexation.
Il know" he said. that my recent
trip to Japan has been m~isconstrued
by some of the American newspapers.
| believe my relations with the Wash.
ington authorities are amicable. My
relations with Secretary Sherman are
not strained.
Il desire to say positively that Japan
is opposed to the annexation of Hawaii
by the United States. The recent re-
ports that Japan had withdrawn her
opposition are untrue. Japan has cer-
tain interests in the Sandwich islands
which the United States should respect.
l believe this matter will be amicably
adjusted.
There may be serious trouble II the
United States annexes the islands with.
out regard to our interests there. But
| do not believe the United States will
act unfairly. Japan is very friendly
with this country, and there is certainly
a way by which the annexation ques-
ton can be settled satisfactorily to both
great nations. | return with certain
Instructions from my government.
Japan has in the Hawaiian islands
about 10000 OF her people. Hawaii has
q treaty with Japan permitting the lat
ter to send immigrants there and also
imports for the use of the latter. Ha-
wall has violated this treaty and our
claim for this violation has not been
settled. We want our claim settled at.
ter annexation. if not before that time.
Hawaii deported some Japanese immi-
grants. That was in violation Of her
treaty with Japan. Hawaii has also
levied a discriminating duty or Japan

HOW TO ESCAPE COLDS.

importance to show how the danger

most important document which will

cost of the proposed public works.
Among the topics and subjects GOV,

HAS GOT A MINE.
MIR. WAGNER OF CARBON COUNTY
CONFIRMS DETAILS OF
HIS BIG STRIKE.
Was Offered 800. 900 for the Find, But
Prefers to Work 1t Himself-A
Wagonload Brought 81 900 Net
Several State Items of an Interest
ing and Exciting Nature.

Ih" story of the rich gold discovery
by Tom Wagner on Pedro mountain
near Indian Grove ranch. was authenti-
Gated by Mr.. Wagner and Mrs. Achen-
back. who were in Casper three days
last week. They came down after three
wagon loads of goods, including min
ing tools. blasting stuff. provisions.
supplies. and all things, seemingly,
that are needed in a mining camp.
1t has been but two weeks ago that
Messrs. Tom Wagner and r. +. Acken-
back received a carload Of mining tools
and material. and camp e%quipage. which
made eight four-horse wagonloads
hauled from Casper to the Indian Grove
ranch, which is within four miles of
their rich gold d~iggings.
Whenever they appear in town the
population is thrown into fever of ex-
citement. or the mining portion is, and
all sorts of rumors are set afioat, though
Mr.. Wagner has remained perfectly
mute until this week, when he was in
duced to talk to the Derrick. He asked,
Where did o get the facts in your
Well Ground Grist' concerning our
locations and operations?"
Yes, you had the facts as you stated.
correct, but | never told anybody" and
his countenance assumed an inQuiring
expression as he seemed to be trying to
read the writer's thoughts.
He said they had upwards of so loca-
tons of gold, silver and copper bearing
quartz in a group. The gold lead Is a
l6-foot vein that has been traced a long
distance. and runs into the hundreds
of dollars per ton, and Mrs. Ackenback
nodded approvingly Of all he said.
He continued and said they had prop-
erty for which they refused 800. 900
from the F. E. and NJ. V. people. and
that he knew they had been Swallowed
to learn of their locations and %shrouded
the whole affair in deep mystery. when,
as a matter of fact. they had nothing to
conceal. He said they had three men at
work and would have the force enlarg.
ed, and would show anybody the loca-
tons and the ore as blasted out of the
lead, but had no time or desire to be
bored or play freeze out.
He exh.&ited IN assay certificate that
gave a return of $iJt.25 per ton from
surface rock. Mill runs showed about
the same, and a wagonload of ore haul
ed from Pedro mountain to Deadwood,
a distance of nearly 400 miles, yielded
them 81 900. This startled the invest.
ors and smelters. who offered to put up
a smelter on the property and develop
it for a controlling interest in the prop,
erty. The offer was refused. and Mr..
Wagner informed us that he had rich
friends. who stood ready to back him
and that they would put in a smelter
next summer for themselves.
The vein is said to be a wonderful
