THE MASS MEETING.
| After the opening of the mass meeting
last evening, Mrs. Whitney sang beauti
fully, "The Bird With Broken Wing"
The first address was by DR.. Wilbur F
Crafts, on "Fresh Light on the Liquor
Problem" The report of the New York
Life Insurance Society from 1875 to 1889,
showed the abstainers insured by the
company showed mortuary of rs per
cent compared to SO per cent. for the
nonabstainers. An investigation showed
that 40 per cent. of the accidents on a
railroad were directly traceable to the
failures of men who were drinking and
in 1S per cent. more of cases, strong
suspicion of similar causes
A man who becomes drunk once is a
drunkard, as much as a man who steals
once is thief or who murders once is a
murderer. Drink is the chief cause of
poverty and of "Hard times" The
speaker made valuable use of statistics
in supporting his statements. The insur-
ance fash light shows that drink is not
only hostile to property interests but also
to life. The liquor traffic is the worst
foeof the home, of business and liberty
The remedy is absolute prohibition.

Beer Versus Whisky,

"The Scientific American" says that
excessive beer-drinking is even more
brutalizing than whisky. The most
dangerous class of ruffians in our large
cities are beer.drinkers. The very lowest
form of inebriety, closely allied to GRIM
inal insanity, follows from beer-drinking
A beer drinker may be the picture OF
health, he may weigh three or four hun
dred pounds, but in reality he is most
incapable of resisting disease. Compared
with inebriates who use whisky, he is
more incurable, more generally diseased.

toxicating drinks on all social occasions
an appeal is made to leaders of fashion
TO discountenaroe the tempting of youths
by the use of wine at parties and dinners;
we ask ladies to use their influence
against the growing use of liquors by
some of their sex; young men were asked
not to invite their ffienks TORN K.
We believe that the church of God has
paramount responsibility in this mat
ter aud we urge that it be outspoken and
fearless in this reform. The Sabbath is
greatly imperilled by the drink traffic and
habit. We ask the church to notice thai
it is sometimes sorely tempted to CON-
plicity with the liquor evil by allowing
the members to make gain out of liquor

request that the third Sunday of October
be observed as Temperance Sunday. We
advise that no wine be used at the com

We are agreed that to license the LIQUOR

BOYCOTT ON CHINESE.

Helena, Mont, April IA tempo
rary restraint order has been granted
by Judge Knowles, in the United
States court, in the suit by the Chin
csc residents of Butte, from continu-
ing the boycott now being enforced
against them. There are four plain
tiffs who appeal for the rights of 300
fellow countrymen. The plaintiffs deal
in Chinese merchandise and conduct
a restaurant. The boycott has been on
for some time and has recently be-
come more aggressive. The plaintiffs
claim that their pecuniary loss has
been $4,000 and that to recover it in
an ordinary court would be impossible
owing to the numerous suits that
would be necessary, and that from the
state of public mind in Silver Bow
county. they could not hope for justice
while if the present state of affairs
continues, the future loss would be
irreparable. A temporary, restraining
order was granted and the case set
for hearing on May 10. The suit was
instituted by ex-United States Senator
Sanders and has a wide effect, as there
are similar boycotts against Chinese
in various parts of the United States.
This case will be pushed to the high
est courts.

AUSTRIA AND JAPAN ARE GET
TING THE MAJORITY OF
OUR YELLOW METAL
Owing To Their Attempt To Get On
A Gold FOOting-It Is Drawn
Through The Bank Of Eng
lani-We've Got Plenty
To Spare Them,

New York, April 1.-THE Tribune
this morning says:
There is a prospect of gold exports
in the near future. 1t will not be sur
prising if shipments are made within
the enXt ten days. Until very recently
it was thought that no gold would go
to Europe this year or at any rate I'M
til very late in the year. The outgoing
gold which now seems inevitable, will
be due not to conditions in this Coun-
try, but to the situation in London,
or to be more exact, to the position
in which the bank of England finds it
self. The bank has recently sustained
tremendous losses of gold from it's
vaults, chiefly by reason of withdraw
ais for transfer to Austria and Japan,
notably to the latter country, Loss in
gold bullion by the bank last week
has been 81, 99S,000 or practically $780,
OOO, 900. The shipments for the week
to Japan and Austria were 1891, 900 or
So 900. Sterling exchange in New
York is almost up to the gold export
ing point, which is calculated to be
a. SSL for demand exchange. While
the posted rate for demand was I'M
changed yesterday the actual rate was
advanced One-eighth of a cent, from
81. 1855 to $4.S7&. The bank of Eng
lands charge for gold bars is about
one penny an ounce above the normal
figures and an additional measure
which it may adopt to protect it's own
supply of gold will almost surely re-
suit in gold being drawn from Amer
lea.
For another thing the stock of bills
of exchange in New York, which for
two or three months was large-ap-
proximately 800, 0OO, 900, have been re-
duCed to between $4,000 900 to 100000,
OOO This is the time Of year when
there is large calls for commercial re-
mittances and the amount of new for
eign bills is enough for the require
ments.
1t is idle talk to say how much gold
will leave this country, between this
date and July first, but whatever it
may be it can readily be spared. There
is a large accumulation of gold here.
The gold reserves in the United States
treasury aggregates 1854, 100000. The
Associated bank of New York holds
$S5, 900, 900, of which a little over $751;
900, 900 is deposited in the vaults of
the clearing house. Even should the
gold be sent abroad or be taken from
the treasury reserves, the loss of $780,
900, 900 or $4,000, 900 would still leave
the government with an ample store.
While the orders for gold will come
from London, the shipments will prob
ably be sent to Japan and Austria di-
rect. Accordingly a large part of the
shipments made may be made from
San Francisco. Japan and Austria
are acquiring gold to place them
selves on a gold. currency basis.

A BRAVE MAN.
Capt. McKillop stands at the Pilot
Wheel While His Boat Runs
Around Him


Around Him.
New York, April 17.-Captain d. p.
McKillop, has no tug boat and his
eyes are gone, but he is a hero. His
GOODNESS and bravery saved the lives
of five of the tug boat Bronx. He stay
ed in the pilot house until the flames
were curling about his legs and then,
before he leaped out dashed the pilot
wheel. 1t was a desperately close race
between life and death
When the Bronx struck Barretos
point early morning on to the Bump
ers" and rail so fierce was the heat
The boat was beached. but only a
worthless hull keel stands. 1t was val
ued at $4,000 and belonged to the West
farms, Flushing and East River Tow
ing company.
The Bronx was out in the sound a
mile and a half, when Captain McKil-
lop, who was at the wheel, heard some
one below cry fire" Then the flame
shot UP from the hatchway.
A moment later the white faced crew
appeared on deck They were ratified
and Engineer White had turned off the
steam, but the captain angrily order
ed him to turn on the steam full head.
We've got to beach this boat, and
beach it we will. That's our only
chance. I'm pointing it straight in for
the shore"
The engineer Obeyed the orders and
swiftly the Bronx plowed through the
water, but it's very speed famed the
flames higher. The crew tried to
launch the tender but lost it. There
was nothing left to do then but to stay
by the boat The flames spread; it got
too hot on the decks. The crew, all eX-
cept the captain, stepped off in the
water holding with their hands. \
half mile from shore it got too hot for
the captain. He dashed the wheel and
climbed down and got into the water,
too. just before the tug struck the
rocks at Barretos point. The men then
let so and joyfully waded to the shore.
