ENDORSES GOLD STANDARD
Even if Russia is Fated to Undergo
Severe Trials.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 21.-The interest
ing budget statement just made by NJ
DeWitte, the Russian minister of
finance, shows an actual deficit of over
los, 900, 600 roubles, which is covered by
the free balance in the treasury.
M. DeWitte expresses great pride in
the results of the adoption of the gold
standard, calling attention to the most
striking fact that, while at the end of
1886, only 100000 rOubles in gold coin
were in circulation, at the end of 1897
there were 1850 900 in circulation,
while the gold in the treasury rose dur
ing the same period by 109, 000,0 900 rou-
bles- The statement shows also that
the volume of existing bank notes has
been reduced by 122, 600, 900 roubles.
Russia has now 131 per cent more gold
than paper, the totals in possession of
the treasury and the state banks and
in circulation at the beginning of the
present year being: Gold, lao, 600, 900
roubles; silver. 1852, OO0, 900 roubles, and
paper 999, 000, 900 roubles.
NJ. DeWitte contends that this shows
the stability of the reform and he
trusts the gold standard will remain
mistaken, ''even if the country is fated
to undergo severe trials
He reiterates his intention to adhere
to the protective system

JAPAN READY FOR WAR.
Nine War Vessels About to Sail for
Wei Hal Wei.

London, Jan. 21-The St. James Gaz-
cite this afternoon commenting upon
the dispatch from Yokohama saying
that a fleet of nine Japanese warships
will leave Japan in the course of a week
for Chinese waters, says:
Japan is prepared for war. That in
a nutshell, is the news from Yokohama
today and it is really the first news
from Japan since the beginning of the
Chinese crisis. It was obvious that
the Japanese government had stopped
Geographic communication which it
never does except when modifying the
army or navy. That is precisely what
it has been doing.
1t is almost certain that the destina-
ton of the fleet is Wei Hal Wei and
there is no doubt the movement means
the status quo in China so far as
Manchuria and Corea are concerned,
shall not be altered by Russia or any
combination of Russia's allies, in def
ance of Great Britain and Japan. So
long as the defenders policy is equality
Of opportunity in China, they are in
position to enforce their claims.

DARK HORSE IN MARYLAND
Seems to Be the Only Way to Settle
the Senatorial Fight.

Annapolis, Nd, Jan. 21.-The fourth
day Of ballOting for a United states
senator from Maryland found the stu
alton practically unchanged No one
looks for an election before Monday OF
next week and the feeling is growing
that the only way to settle the matter
is by the withdrawal of both Shaw and
McCOmas in favor of a compromise
candidate.
The friends of ex-Congressman Find
Law assert that in such an event the
mantle will fall upon his shoulders.
Gen Shryock's adherents are no less
confident, asserting that no other would
prove so acceptable a second choice to
the majority of the delegates.
The following was the result OF the
sixth ballot taken at noon today: Nc
Conas 43, German 46, Findlay 2, Shry-
ock 2. Niliken Barber II, Shaw L
The result of the seventh ballot was
as follows: McCOmas A, German 46,

vention adjourned till tomorrow.
