THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TELLER r.
SOLUTION.

The passage of the Teller resolution
by the Senate yesterday shows that in
that body the advocates of the white
metal are in clear majority. The reso-
luton declares that the debts of the
United States shall be paid in gold or
silver "at the option of the government,
according to the terms of the contract
between the bondh0lders and the gov
eminent. When the debt was created.
it was payable in paper money. Then
the owners of the bonds secured an act
making the interest payable in coin.
Then the Secretary of the Treasury held
coin" The next step was to secure
construction by the Secretary of the
Treasury that the holder of the debt
could demand payment in which ever
coin he selected. This was easily
doae, and the burdens of the taxpayers
thus doubled to enrich the bond-holders.
In the lass campaign, when Mr.. Bryan
and other silver men demanded that the
Federal debt be paid literally in accord
ance with the terms of the contract, the.
cry went up that they We're reputation
lists and wanted to swindle the bond
holders.
The vote in the Senate yesterday IS
notice to the holders, Of our securities
that they will be paid dollar for dollar
~
they shall not much longer exact Chris
!. tan blood by legislative and depart
mental tricks and legerdemain. If it is
Reputation to pay debts iii accordance
with the terms of the contract, the SEN
rte yesterday voted for reputation.
The resolution will be smothered in
the House. Thomas 3. Reed will put it
in his pocket, and the gold organs will
declare that by such action he is PRO
tecting the national honor" and de
serves the gratitude of all patriots"
The bondhoklers bought the presi-
dency and the House of Representatives
at the last election. They need have no
fear That their creatures will fail to do
their bidding. But in 1901 the Teller
resolution will be put in force when Mr.
Bryan is in the White House, and Mr..
Teller is Secretary of the Treasury.
The action yesterday foretells the
doom Of the advocates Of the gold stand
ard, and the selfish bondholders who
have mt If uuon the country without
the consent of the voters.
The adoption of this resolution makes
it clear that the money question is to be
paramount in the next campaign.

is MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD.
Other High Priced Metals About
Which Little Is known.

From the Washington Star.
1.-The majority of people, when asked to
name the most precious metals, usually
mention gold as first. platinum as second,
and silver as third said the proprietor OIL
large assay and refining establishment
in New York to the writer recently. "If
asked to name others some might add
nickel and few aluminium to the list.
Now, let US see how near the truth they
would be. Gold is worth about $3.50 per
pound troy, platinum $50. and silver about
pure aluminium from so cents to $2 to the
pound troy.

to. about half the price of silver. while
didymium, the metal isolated by Masander,
is the same price as calcium. Then comes
gallium, which is worth $3.50 an ounce
With this metal the highest price is
rarest and most precious of metals.

opinion as to what are the most precious

What car new possession, the Hawaiian
islands, were like half century ago, when
they were ruled by native kings and queens
and before there was thought of making
them a part of the United States, is inter-
esting. Edward T. Perkins, who made the
voyage from New York in a whaling vessel
back in the first half of the century and
spent some time on the islands, told his
experience upon his return in very in
teresting manner in a book called Ma
Motu.' The book is long out of print
and the copy owned by gentleman OF this
city is one Of the few in existence Even
at that time the subject of controlling the
commerce of the Pacific was interesting

says: ''At 10 period of our national eX-
istenCe have American interests been so

prejudice, a noble conquest has been
peacefully achieved. lnvidious COM

That Honolulu has made decided ad-
vances will be Inferred from comparison
with modern pictures and descriptions
of the pictures and the following from
Mr.. Perkins work:
Honolulu Fifty Years Ago.
The town. with all its neatness. has
some irregularities in the arrangement of
its. streets. which, instead of crossing at
right angles, sometimes intersect each
other diagonally, forming triangular lots.
A few of them are inconyenienuy narrow:
The principal one is Main street, Il broad
thoroughfare bsectins the town through
its entire length. stretching away to Pearl
river on the west. and to the plains of
Waikiki on the east. This is crossed at
right angles by Nauuanu street: commenc-
ing at the sea and passing through the
compact portion of the town. ii descends
a gentle declivity, and continues up the
beautiful valley of Nauuanu. adorned by
villas and luxurious vegetation, until, at a
distance of seven or eight miles, il terIni-
mates at the 'Pali' or an abrupt preclplce
memorable in Hawaiian annals as the
spot where the hosts of Oahu took their
fatal leap before the victorious arms of
Kamehameha the Great. The streets are
generally kept neat and clean and the light
or substantial dwellings of foreigners are
scattered at irregular intervals on either
side; some of them are elegant. Ihe ma
terial of which they are built is wood. and
sometimes of coral blocks taken from tn
reef: these being covered with cement and
tastefully shaded resemble granite or free
stone and the dwelling, with its veranda
and green venetians, has an inviting ap-
oearance The diapidated native huts

Views About the Town.
The street scenes are of all sorts-a
medley of costumes and creeds-colors and
castles. The worshiDers of Fo step ner-

, broidered silk, and the struggling Lascar
readjusts his turban as he leers at the

ON THE YUKON BAR.
The Big River Only Six Feet Deep at
Its Mouth When 1t Is
High Water.

From the San francisco Call.
The latest aGivices received in this city
from the government survey party at the
mouth of the Yukon are to the effect that
failure has attended the effort to discover
an entrance for deep sea vessels. 1t is now
believed that no such entrance exists and
that before the Yukon can be made nav
igable for ocean craft considerable dredg-
ing will have to be done on the bar which
cuts Bering sea off from the deep waters
of the river.
This news will prove great disappoint-
ment to all persons interested in the devel-
opnent of Alaska. For a long time past
there has been a widespread belief that
so-called true mouth" existed through
which large steamships could enter the
Yukon. Once in the stream it would be
an easy matter for them to ascend nearly
500 miles. regardless of the fiuctuating
stages of the river, which maintains an
average width of ten miles to the lower
ramparts and a depth varying from 40 to
$50 feet BY using this water highway up
to the Tanana and Nulato, supplies cou
be placed in the heart of Alaska almost
as cheap!y as though shipped to St. Mich
ael. Such facilities would mean an enor-
nous development of mining industries,
inasmuch as many claims which are Eow
unprofitable on account of the high prices
charged for supplies could be worked to
good account. Moreover, plentiful supplies
