Many of the Philippine Islands Have
Deposits of Gold.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Admiral Dewey
has forwarded the navy department a
memorandum on mineral resources of
the Philippines, prepared at the adj
niral's request by Prof. George e.
Becker, of the United States geological
survey. Prof. Becker made consider
able researches and consulted all the
available authorities. Only about a
score of the several hundred islands, he
says, are known to contain deposits of
Valuab BILE minerals. He includes a table
showing the mineral bearing islands
and their resources. The table follows:
LuzOn, coal, gold, copper, lead, iron,
sulphur, marble, kaolin.
Cataanduanes, Sibuyan, BohoI and
PanaOan, gold only.
MarimduQue, lead and silver.

that of Washington, but not to that of
Wales or Pennsylvania coal.

disease.
With regard to rumors first brought

Car Famine Prevails in the
Wheat Districts of the State.
Grain Shippers Compelled to
Shut Down Elevators.
CLAFLIN AND ST. JOHN
Shippers Complain to the Rail-
read Commissioners.
Railroad Officials Are POwerIess
to Remedy the Evil.

The car famine out in the Seventh
district seems to be getting worse. The
complaints continue to come in from
stations in the wheat growing districts
that the grain shippers cannot procure
cars fast enough to keep their elevators
running, and they are compelled to shut
down because they have not room
enough to store the grain.
Today ]. H. Pickerill, of the firm of
Pickerill & Hill, grain buyers at Claf-
lin, on the Missouri Pacific in Barton
county, called at the office of the board
of railroad commissioners to see what
could be done about the matter. He
said that he represented five grain
firms at Clafiin and that they had 10000
bushels of grain stored there which they
were not able to get rid of, because the
railroad would not furnish them the
cars. None of the board is in the city
at present.
A similar complaint was received
this morning from Tudor & Co., of st.
John. They are on the Santa Fe, and
they say the scarcity of cars is causing
much of the grain which would natural
ly come to St. John, to go north to the
Missouri Pacific or south to the Rock
Island.
to the different roads, but the railroad
officials say that they are poWerless to
help, matters, as they cannot get the
cars back to the wheat regions fast
enough to haul away the grain as it
comes in.

SANTA FE IN CALIFORNIA.
Chief Engineer Dunn Inspects the
Valley Line to Frisco.

San Francisco, Nov. flames Dunn,
chief engineer of the Santa Fe, has just
completed an inspection of the Valley
railroads extension from Stockton to
Point Richmond. He was shown over
the ground by Chief Engineer w. B.
Storey, of the Valley line. The two gen
tlemen have spent the past two days in
their tour of inspection, and they ar
rived here last night. Mr. Dunn ex-
pressed himself as being highly pleased
with the character of the work being
done.
Chief Engineer Storey feels confident
that the extension from Stockton west
will be finished within the next ten or
eleven months. Work on the big tun-
mel, $500 feet long, through the Contra
Costa hills back of Oakland, is rapidly
progressing. On the east end, Mr.;
Storey says, the tunnel has been bored
851 feet, and 1851 feet on the west end.
He also says the steel viaduct across
one part of the Alhambra valley in
Contra Costa county will soon be or
dered and put in place.

will have to build an Independent line

IN THE THIRD DISTRICT.
Republicans Hope for a Landslide
and Popul1sts Fear One.

F'redonia, Nov. I'm the Third con-
gressionaI district in 1896, Leedy carried
every county except Chautauqua. This
year the result depends upon Cherokee
and Crawford. The Republicans claim
that Stanley will go to these two east
ern counties with a good majority, and
the claim seems to be well founded.
But if Crawford and Cherokee roll up
anything like the majOritfeS they did
for the POpuliStS in 1896, Leedy will
carry the Third district by a small ma
jority. In any event from the present
outlook the ma jority in the district for
either Stanley or Leedy will be small.
The POpulists claim Crawford and
Cherokee by their old time majorities.
The Republicans do not concede this
claim, but admit that both these coun-
ties will go for Leedy and Ridgley for
congress. The Republicans believe they
will be able to reduce the combined ma
jOrity against them just One-half. This
would give the POpulists Crawford by
about $50 and Cherokee by 700. This
would give the district to Stanley per-
haps but would still defeat Kirkpatrick.
Stanley's friends claim that he will
carry COwley, Chautauqua, Elk, Mont
gomery, Labette and NeOsho. Wilson
will be close, but if the other counties
named give Stanley a majority, Wilson
will go with the general slide.
A gentleman here today who has been
canvassing the district gave it as his
opinion that the counties in the district
outside of Cherokee and Crawford
would give Stanley a majority of 1,156
and that Crawford and Cherokee COM
bined would give Leedy 1000 This
would leave such a narrow margin that
Kirkpatrick would be defeated for con-
gress, as it is conceded that he will not
run up with Stanley by at least 700
votes or more.
In 1886 the Republicans only elected
one representative to the legislature in
the entire Third district-JOhn Sherer OF
Chautauqua. This year they lay claim
to one in COwley, one in Montgomery,
one in Chautauqua, one in Labette, and
are reasonably certain to elect Percy
Willitts in this county This will give
them five-a gain of four. They also
believe they will elect one in Elk and
one in NeOshO. These counties will be
close and it is fair to prognOsticate that
they will get one of these latter. This
would give the POpulists seven repre-
sentatives and the Republicans eight.
There is more uncertainty in the
Third district than in any other Sec
ton of the state. Both sides are at sea,
and it is difficult to find any two men
who will guess the same thing even if
they belong to the same party. The
Republicans are hoping for a landslide
the Populists are afraid of one. The
Republicans see in this their only hope
of electing a congressman-the POpu-
lists know they are safe if they can
hold their own.

SORE AT BURTON.
Frisco and Santa Fe Roads Transfer
Their Business to Wichita

Newton, Nov. 2-The Santa Fe and
Frisco railroads and the city of Burton
are at outs. The two roads have been
transferring their freight at this point and
have been employing about twelve men
and several teams for the purpose.
Last Sunday the city marshal of Burr
ton stopped the men from working. claim
ing that they were violating the state law
in regard to Sunday work. The railroads
discharged the men and transferred the
transfer business 50 Wichita. This is a
financial loss to Burton However, it is
asserted that the Santa Fe will next
Sunday make another attempt, and if nee
essary take the case into court, alleging
that the action of the city marshal inter
feres with interstate commerce.
