The announcement that more than
one-half of the go!dproduced in the

has been mined in the last forty
years is proving embarrassing to the
people who were brushing the dust
off their campaign speeches of 1896,
in which they asserted that goldwas
appreciating because its production
did not keep pace with the demands
of the world for a circulating me-

TRIAL OF E. IRVINE
No Direct Proof Vet of an
 Earlier Marriage.
If Rests Wholly on Some Interesting LefferS. some HeresaY Evidence and some Divorce Suit Papers which Have Nof Been Found.

The trial of Edward Irvine on an in
 dictment for adultery began yesterday morning. The business of the goverl- ment was naturally divided into two parts-to prove that he had been mar ried to Mary Annetta Irvine in New Brunswick more than thirty years ago, and that he was living in a married relation with Isora E. Irvine in Au- gust of last year.
 The prosecution had trouble in find ing starting point, in getting off the ground. The first witness was Mary Annetta Irvine. who is known as Mrs. Irvine No. 1, though there was a Mrs. Irvine before her. but dead. Mrs. IT, vine was permitted to testify as to the time and place of her marriage in New Brunswick. but her reply to the momentous question by United States Attorney Morrison. ''To whom ?' WIS cut short by an objection by Judge Baker. The objection was sus aimed after long and learned argument and the witness left the stand without having said that she had ever married Edward Irvine, the defendant.
 This was regarded by the defense as a damaging blow 10 the government, for 1t has been held by the supreme court that in eases of adultery the marriage of the defendant must be es- tablished by direct proof Beside Mrs. Irvine No. 1 there was nobody in the United States who could furnish this proof So far as was known there were no certified records from New Brunswick at hand or no depo- sitiOns from persons who might have witnessed the marriage
 The prosecution then proceeded or. it's course in a more devious way.
 Mrs. Lillah c. Sharpe. a daughter of the defendant and Mrs Irvine No. l. was put on the stand to testify to conversation she had had with har father at Mtllville, New Brunswick, i'll 1887, when he had made a journey of 4,000 miles to sse her and her brother. T. B. Irvine, neither of whom had ever seen him. In that conversation it was alleged that he had admitted Q his daughter and even described the marriage. An objection was made by Judge Baker on the ground that this could not be direct proof of the mar rtage. Judge Street Overruled the ob- jection, ruling that this evidence was 1 legal and admissible though it m ght i not be sufficient
