last evening, kilograms were received from
President Mckinley, Secretary Gage and
others.
Secretary Gage said in part:
II regret that the pressure Of public
business prevents me from being present
to discuss the question of reforming the
currency. Not since the struggle for the
resumption of specie payments has qucs-
ton pressed for solution which has a
greater bearing upon the material pros
perty of our people.
''You have an empire In the Pacific north
west which is in it's infancy. Your city and
sister ports of Puget Sound are the out
let's of one of the richest regions in the
world. Geographically the commerce OF
the orient is yours.
Nothing will contribute more to draw
capital to your section of the country than
conviction that the money standard Is
safe beyond impairment.

standard.
