An eloquent tribute to Miss Willard
was paid by Mrs. Lucy b. Thurman.
a colored delegate from Michigan. Mrs.

Miss Willard, but when she stood before the

that she was friend TO every race and

The absence Of two citizens OF St.

The $3,570,914 in sovereigns and gold
bullion brought up from Australia by
the last steamer to San Francisco
makes $32, ,2S3, ,643 from that country
since August, 1897. All of this treasure
is coined into American money and
goes to swell the circulation. An i'm
portant point Is that it affects ex-
change rates between there and the
coast, raising them to an unusual fig
ure. This influence has been felt at
all points on the coast all the time
since August year ago. The gold
comes to pay English debts to America
and the clearing house for the busi-
ness is lin New York. London owes
New York for foodstuffs. Australia
owes England for merchandise. The
English merchant ships gold over from
Melbourne to New York via San Fran
cisco. New York bankers try to get
bills on San Francisco whic they dis
charge with this Australian money
and thus save the transfer across the
continent.
