Money to rIove Farm Products.

A canvass of the leading banks of
New York shows that large sums of
money are being shipped daily to help
move the crops. One of the deposit
institutions has sent 100000 since the
middle of last week, and orders are
still coming in. The sub-treasury at
New York has not had as many cur
rency orders as usual, but this is
ascribed to the lateness of crops in the
Southwest.
Altogether it is estimated that fully
S5,OO0,000 of crop money has been
shipped during the past fortnight. The
Southern creditors are in better shape
lust now than they have been in sew
eral years, and the general outlook in
this section and the Southwest is un-
usually bright.

THE END IN SIGHT.
o5-Cent Rate VIII be Agreed Upon I'm
til the End of the Year.

The end Of the great miners strike
is in sight. Friday afternoon the ma
tional executive board of the United
Mine Workers agreed to recommend
to the miners a proposition from the
Pittsburg operators for straight
p, ice of IS cents a ton, to continue N
force until the end of the year. A del
egate convention of all miners who
have suspended work has been called
to meet in Columbus September 8, al
10 a. m., to act upon the recommendi-
ton. President Ratchford and mem
bcrs of the board say there is not the
slightest doubt but the miners will ap-
prove the recommendation. The prop
osition does not involve arbitration
and in effect provides for an immedi-
ate settlement of the strike. President
Ratchford said that there We're special
reasons for the board recommending
the proposition. In the first place, 1t
comedies the miners a material ad-
vance. Had 69-cent scale been Sc
| cured he was confident it could not
| have been maintained for more than
seventy days. AS soon as the miners
.atify the proposition work viii be re-
sumed in all the mines. In the second
place, the proposition provides for a
revival of the joint conference for the
adjustment of prices. The operators
are pledged to meet with the miners
prior to the termination of the agree
ment and determine the rate for min
ing for the next year Both the min
ars' executive board and the operators
committee are pleased over the out
come of the conference and feel that
public sentiment will sustain their ac-
ton.

OF the Hawaiian Islands to the
United States
WILL BE RUSHED THROUGH.
The Lawmakers of the Islands VIII be
Asked to Ratify the Annexation Treaty
Session Called for Sept mber 9th.

The steamer Australia, from Homo
lulu direct, arrived at San Francisco
Wednesday with the following Ha
waiian advices:
Francis NJ. Hatch, minister to Wash
lngton, arrived August 20 with special
information which will require the at
tention of both government and SEN
ate and a secret notice has already
been issued to the members of the lat
ter body calling upon them to meet
in extra session September 6 TO con
slider the question. Meanwhile Minis
ter Hatch is in almost constant con-
sultation with President Dole and his
cabinet.
The lawmakers will be asked to rat
ify the annexation treaty recently
signed in Washington, and as a major
ity of the members favor annexation,
the matter will be rushed through.
The reason for the extra session of the
senate is a matter of conjecture, and
much curiosity is evinced.
A senator is authority for the state
ment that Minister Hatch brought
word from President Mckinley that
he had resolved to call congress two
months earlier than usual for the pur-
pose of disposing of the treaty before
the regular session, and this theory
appears to find favor with other SEN
atorS.
Another matter to be considered by
the Hawaiian senate is that Of render
ing assistance to the executive in un-
raveling the Japanese muddle as it
is said that Japan's acceptance of the
offer of arbitration is so vague that
the President and his cabinet are in a
Quandary. There are rumorS of a
split in the cabinet over the question,
and it is said that the intervention of
the senate is required to prevent an
open rupture.
The Hawaiian Star created SEN
sation by the publication of a scheme,
alleged to have been backed by the
sugar trust, to block annexation.
1t is said that call has been made
for a mammoth demonstration Sep
tember IA against closer political un-
ion with the United States. Senators
Morgan and Quay are expected to ar
rive from the United States that day,
and the object o fthe anti-annexation'
lists is to impress them with the feel
ing upon the island.

r1EANS A GOLD STANDARD
For India Is the General Belief at WASH
fngtOn,

Secretary Gage said last Friday that
1t would be hard matter to draw an
inference from the suspension of the
sale of bills of exchange by the Bank
of England on Indian cities, and said
there might be many reasons for this.
Until he could hear more of the mat
ter he preferred not to discuss the
question.
Director Of the Mint Preston and
other officials who keep up with the
situation in India preferred not to dis
cuss the question at this time. They.
too, thought 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 general belief,
however, that India will not be long in
going to the gold standard. She is vir-
tually on gold standard now, it is
said.

believe that under the act of 1887 it has
the authority TO do this, and in absence of
any action by Congress-, shall direct the
Secretary OF the Treasury to make the nee
essary deposit as required by the courts
decree to qualify as bidder and to bid at
the sale sum which will at least equal the
principal of the debt due to the government.
1t is clear to my mind that the govern
ment should not permit the property to be
sold at price witch will yield less than one
half the principal of its debt and less than
one-ffth of its entire debt principal and
interest But whether the government,
rather than accept less than its claim,
should become bidder and thereby the
owner of the property, submit to Congress
for action.

BY the decree of the court the upset
price on the sale of the Kansas Pacific will
yield to the government the sum of 50 $780,
900 over all prior liens. costs and charges.
If no other or better bid is made this sum is
all that the government will receive on
its claim of nearly S13,000,000 The gov
eminent has no information as to
whether there will be other bidders or
BITTER bid than the maximum amount
herein stated. The question pre-, ented there
for is, whether the government shall, under
the authority given 1t by the act of March
8, 1887, purch ase or redes m the road in the
event that bid is not made by private
parties covering the entire government
claim. To qualify the government to bid at
the sales will require deposit of 5000 900,
as follows: In the government cause $500 :
900 and in each of the first mortgage causes
100000, and in the latter the deposit must
be in cash Payments at the sale are as
follows: Upon the acceptance of the bid,
sum which, with the amount already de-
posted, shall equal 10 per cent OF the bid;
the balance in installments of % per cent
thirty forty and fifty days after the con-
frmation of the sale. The lien on the Kan
sas Pacific prior to that of the government
on the 30th day of July, 1897, principal and
interest, amounted to H,291,o49.11. The
government, therefore should it become
the highest bidder, will have to pay the
amount OF the first mortgage lien
