Tennessee Senatorial Candidates.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 22.-Fif-
teen fruitless ballots were taken to-
night in the democratic senatorial
caucus and the last ballot left the
situation about the same as on the
first. During the three nights eau
cuses have been taken in session thir-
ty-seven ballots have been taken with
small changes on each ballot
During the balloting tonight an at
tempt to break McMillin's lines was
made by the transfer of votes from
Turley to Taylor to give Taylor twen-
ty-three votes, but a stampede was
not caused, McMillin losing only one
vote.
The thirty-seyenth and last ballot
stood : McMillin, SO: Turley, q; Tay-
1or, %; The Taylor gains came. from
Turley.
On one ballot McMillin received for
ty-two votes, his highest point. The
caucus meets again tomorrow after
noon, but talk of a long deadlock IS
in circulation.

Pleased With the Gold Standard.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan, 22.-The
interesting buddget statement made by
M. Dewitte, the Russian minister of
finance, shows an actual deficit of over
LOG, 100000 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, ealing attention to the most
striking fact that while at the end of
1896 only 100000 roubles in gold
coin were in Circulation. at the end
of 1897 there wero 155 100000 roubles
in circulation, while the gold in the
treasury rose during the same period
by 100000 roubles.
The statement shows also that the
volume of existing bank notes has
been reduced by 122,000,00O rouble5
Russia has now 131 per cent more gold
than paper, the total in possession of
the treasury and state banks and in
circulation at the beginning of the
present year being: Gold, 1.470. 600 co..
roubles; silver. 1862. 2.000,000 Ioubles, and
paper, 999 100000 roubles.
NJ Dewitte contends that this shows
the stability of the reform. and he
trusts the gold standard will remain
unshaken, ''even if the country is fated
to undergo severe trials He reiter-
ates his intention to adhere to the
protective system.

The Rush to klondike.

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 24.-The
steamer Oregon sailed for Alaska to-
night with $50 passengers and 1850
tons of merchandise and baggage. Fif-
ty head of live stock was also part of
the cargo.
All day long thousands of people
swarmed around the steamers docks.
and so great was the crush tonight
that ten policemen were unable to
handle the crowd. No less than 5000
people who applied for passage were
refused, and hundreds of tons of
freight are lying on the docks await
Ing transportation to the gold fields.
The rush to the Yukon from every
port in the northwest has begun earlier
than was anticipated by the transpor-
tatlon companies, and every steamer
that leaves is compelled to refuse both
passengers and freight
The demand for lumber in Alaska
Is enormous, but steamship companies
refuse to carry it, preferring to take
less bulky freight, leaving the lumber
for sailing vessels.
