Oninions of Two Lenders.

st. Louis. Sept. 2.-W. B. Mahon.
president of the Amalgamated Street
Railway union, who is one OF the few
labor leaders who did not leave the city
after the close of the conference de-
clares that a mistake is being made in
not putting men to work in every mine
the owner of which accepts the de-
mands of the strikers. He believes this
would soon smoke out stubborn oper-
ators.
Il offered my plan to the committee
on resolutions" he said, but it was re-
jected. Many of the operators have
signified their willingness to pay the
wages demanded by the strikers. l say
the strikers should take these operators
at their word and put men to work in
their mines. That would soon smoke
out the stubborn fellows.
"As the strike is being conducted now
the strikers are forcing the operators
to stand together. The strikers say, We
Will stop all work In all mines until all
operators come to our terms. This is
a wrong principle. Under it one oper-
ator is as badly off as another. There
is no competition.
w. b. Prescott. president Of the Inter
national Typographical union. who pre-
sided over the convention, said:
If / had controlled this convention,
would have appointed a committee to
wait upon the best lawyer in the land.
The committee would have asked his
opinion of the injunction, and II he was
Of the opinion that the injunction was
not good law he would have been in
structed to act accordingly. If neces-
sary. would fight the matter clear up
into the supreme court.
One thing is true-namely. trades
unions in this country are illegal under
the common law in that they are to a
degree in restraint Of trade. They
must set TO work 10 get legislation
which takes them out of the pale of the
common law. as has been done in Eng
land. where they are legalized by spe-
cial legislation. Until this is done trades
unions in America will always be har-
assed by the danger of injunctions

Washington. Sept. 2.-The opinion OF
Secretary Gage is that il would be a
hard matter to draw an inference from
the suspension of the sale of bills of
exchange. He said there might be
many reasons for this. and until he
could hear more of the matter he pre-
ferred not TO discuss the question. Di-
rector of the Mint Preston and other
treasury officials who keep up with the
situation in India preferred not to dis
cuss the question at this time. They,
too, thought that many reasons might
be at the bottom of. the suspension. One
reason advanced by several treasury
officials is that the suspension might
have been ordered to avoid the threat
ened export of gold from London to
India. There was a general belief,
however, that India viii not be long
in going TO the gold standard. She is
virtually on a gold standard now, It
is said.

THE YAQUI PLACERS.
An Investigator Says the Rich
 Piacers Are 8 Myth.

Frank Smalley, the mining editor of the Phoenix Republican, writes his journal of the rich Yaqui strikes re- ported not long since. He says:
 "The placer grounds examined are not of sufficient richness 10 cause any rush to Sonora. There is gold in almost all the tributaries of the Yaqui, but it will pay only by the expendi- ture of money for hydraulic working. Thee may be spo.s where banning will yield good pay, but did net find them. There are probably 100 men in the Yaqui up to this time who have gone in expecting to find rich placer grounds, and what success they will meet with the future will tell.
 Every one admits that the Indians are in possession Of rich mines. Their strange supersti,ious caste will not allow them to reveal their secrets. They would rather die than do th;s. If you discover them it ls no fault of theirs, and tho Mexican government gays they must ,ield to the mandate of Its mineral laws. But there are other mines and greater opportunities for experienced mining men without disturbing the gold of the Indian mines. All that vast country from the Minas PIiet,s to the backbone of the Sierra Msdre mountains is practi- cally unprosrec.ed. I found three mines in operation, and they are sil- yer producers. Gold and copper seerns to have been neglected entirely"

RETURNED THE LICENSE,
His Sweetheart tilted Him and
 He Had No Use For 1t.

An amusing occurrence happened in the Probate Court at Tucson yee- .erdsy afternoon, ssys the Citizen. A young man called there about ten days sge and secured marriage li- cense of Deputy Purcell and went on his way rejoicing. Nothing more was heard of the matter until yesterday, when the game young man, with 6 woe begone expression oi icountsnsnce, entered, and from one of the recesses of his coat produced the same license and handed it to MT. Purcell, who thereupon asked him what he should do with 1t, as he could not record 1t, for it had not teen filled in by the marrying pastor. The young man replied that he did not know, and then proceeded 10 relate Q sad tale Of wrong and desertion. IL seems that the young lady Of his affection at the last moment refused to bo 8 party to the wedding. and told the prospective bridegroom that if he insisted on her marrying him che would elope with another young man who had fore stalled hiIa in her affections the next day. The disappointed lover then de- cIded to have not thing more to do with her, and stated that he had come to return the license. When ,eid that after a marriage license has once been issued it cannot be returned, he asked II he could get another one if he should wish 1t. He was informed that he could, and he put the unluoky piece of paper in biz pocket and de- parted.
