Senator Hansbrough's Views.

ocuaCOI I1aNSOIOuRH s JEWS.
Journal Washington correspondence:
Senator Hansbrough and his wife of
North Dakota arrived in Washington
yesterday and will remain. On the way
east Senator Hansbrough stopped in
Ohio and made a political speech at
Toledo. Speaking of congress, he thinks
the session will be mainly devoted to the
efforts of the members to make records
and to deliver speeches for use in the
1900 campaign. He does not look for
the enactment of many important laws,
outside of the regular appropriation
bills. The present status in Cuba and
Porto Rico, he thinks, is satisfactory and
the clamor in certain quarters that the
government declare its policy is foolish.
Senator Hansbrough does not think
congress will legislate for either island
at the coming session. "We haven't suf-
fcent knowledge yet to take up prob
lens there" he says.
The senator reiterates the we'll known
statement that North Dakota is support
ing the administration as to the Philip
pines, believing that the success of the
administration plans will mean a mar
ket for that states agricultural surplus.
He says in part or this subject:
I'VE have long been awaiting a market
for our surplus products, independent of
Europe. There they take our wheat
when they do not raise enough them
selves. China and Asia will afford our
western states a market unlimited, ex-
cept as far as we ourselves wish to limit
it.
"There is nc anti-expansion talk in
North Dakota. We belie We in the lara

improvements at the Pen.

The appearance of the penitentiary
building from the driveway leading to
the institution will be considerably
changed when the office addition now in
course of erection is completed. The
foundation wall has already been laid
for the addition, which will be fifty by
fifty feet, adjoining the present front of
the building at the north wing, facing
west. 1t will be faced with pressed
brick from tho Dickinson kilns, and it's
completion will afford the institution Of
fee room needed for the business in con-
nection with the Irvine plant.
Plans for the addition show that it
will largely improve the appearance of
the front elevation of the institution. It
will be given over to office rooms for the
transaction of business in connection
with the operation of the Irvine factory
and the institution. In addition to this
there will be vault room. A change will
also be made so that an entrance to the
cell room can be effected from the first
floor instead of from the second as now,
which will greatly add to the convenience
of the institution.
The Irvine plant buildings have been
completed and are under roof, so far as
the exterior of the structures are con-
.cerned. The windows are yet to be
placed and the floors laid. Work on the
interior is progressing. The two build
ings show what a remarkable amount of
work has been done at the pen this sum-
mer, aside from the regular farming
operations, the making of brick and
other work. There have been no hours
of idleness for the inmates and all OF
them, it is hardly necessary to state,
have paid the state for their food and
clothing in labor done. The building OF
the chimney for the engine room is in
progress, and the chimney will be easily
the handsomest in the state, and one Of
the best so far as utility is concerned,
1T will be lined about half way up with
the Dickinson friedrich.
Several carloads of the iron work fol-
the interior of the power plant have
been received, in the way of boiler fit
tings, iron piping, tubing and other ma
'terial. The machinery for the Irvine
plant has not yet arrived.

FATHER SLOAN DEAD
Venerable Presbyterian Pastor Passes
Away at His Home at Philadelphia
Last Friday.
Pioneer Preacher of the Missouri Slope.
Whose Friends Are Legion in
this Section.
Founded the First Presbyterian Church
in North Dakota at Bismarck
in Early Seventies.
Father Sloan Dead.

Rev. A. Durrie received word today of
the death of Father I. O. Sloan, the ven
cradle Presbyterian pastor who founded
the first Presbyterian church in North
Dakota and was known and beloved by
all of the old-time residents of the Mis-
souri, slope. No m of the pioneers of
the slope is better remembered or was
held in greater esteem. He has been ill
at Philadelphia, where he moved several
years ago, for some time, and his death
occurred last Friday, his interment the
Monday following.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger has
the following with regard to the death of
Father Sloan:
The Rev. I. Oliver Sloan who died on
Friday will be buried from his late resi-
dence BIS North Sixteenth street. Mr..
Sloan was born in this city October 90,
1870, and was a son of John and Mary
Sloan. After graduating at Washington
n Jefferson college he received his
theological education at the Presbyter-
ian seminary, New York. and was called
to a Presbyterian church in Acamac
county, Va. At the outbreak of the civil
war Mr.. Sloan came north and became a
member of the Christian commission.
He was appointed hospital chaplain by
President Lincoln and in that capacity
visited all the principal battle fields Of
the war. His untiring labors among the
wounded in the field hospitals gave him
a wide acquaintance and made him
greatly beloved among the soldiers and
in later years many of these friendships
were remembered after long separation.
At the close Of the wal MI. Sloan went
west and organized and built the first
Presbyterian church in North Dakota at
Bismarck. He built three other churches
in Minnesota and North Dakota, the last
one the Albert Barnes Memorial church
dedicated in 1891 at Glencoe. For four
years he was it's pastor but failing health
compelled him to relinquish active
duties and five years ago he returned to
Philadelphia. Since then he has been
living a retired life. He was never mar
ried.
News of the death Of Rev. Sloan will
be learned by regret by many friends in
this section. Sunday night Rev. Durrie
will hold a memorial service for him in
the Presbyterian church and all of the
old friends of Father Sloan are invited
to attend.

rlEnORIAL.
Interesting Services at the Presbyterian
Church in Memory of Father
Sloan.

Interesting memorial services we're
held at the Presbyterian church last
night in memory of Rev. l. Oliver Sloan,
news of whose death was recently re-
ceived in the city. Rev. Durrie spoke
briefly and appropriately of the deceased.
A large number of former friends of
Father Sloan were present, and the fol-
lowing resolutions adopted by the Pres
byterian session, were read:
Whereas, The session of the First
Presbyterian church of Bismarck, North
Dakota, has been informed of the death
at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Oct.
~, 1899, at the ripe oldlage of 70 years, of
the Rev. Isaac Oliver Sloan, the first
pastor of this church and the pioneer
missionary of Presbyterianism in this
territory and state:
Resolved. That we, for ourselves
and on behalf of the church which we
represent, express our deep and SORROW
full sense of the loss sustained in his
death by the churches of this vicinity,
where he labored SO long and faithfully
in the cause of the Master.
2. That we record our testimonial to
MS earnest, p~ersevering and soul-win-
ming work, and to his lovely Christian
character, which endeared him to all
who knew him, whether in any way con-
nected in church work or not. AS the
organizer of this church and its first
pastor he began and carried on for years
a work which we believe will, by the
blessing of Almighty God, go forward
increasingly as long as time shall last,
and thus "He being dead, yet speaketh."
3. That We commend to all the goodly
example and Christian character of
'Father Sloan" (the name by which he
was lovingly known among all II people
for so many years. as an exemplitication
OF Cody living and usefulness that is
worthy of our emulation and our highest
tribute of respect and honor.
4. That these resolutions be recorded
in our minutes, and copies furnished for
publication in the press and sent to the
relatives of the deceased.

Washington, Aug. cit is now an.
parent that IN the fall movement of the
crops there will be pressing demand for
more currency or paper money. AS this
can be furnished in no other way than
ty the issue of gold certificates, there
Will undoubtedly be demand more or
less upon the treasury for such certifi-
Gates against the deposits of gold coin.
The sub-treasuTy at San Francisco has
been notified by wire to resume the issue
OF gold certificates on deposits of gold and
In payment over the counter of govern
ment obligations. The other sub-treas-
nr1es have been notified to the same effect
by letter, which they will receive before
business hours on Monday morning. The
sub-'reasurers have also been advised that
the government will ship them an addi-
tionql supply of gold certificates today of
what is known as department series, in
denominations ranging from $40 to $1,000,
and aggregating about $l0,0OO,OOO.
1t is anticipated that the gold certif-
Gates most in demand will be what is
known as 'order" certificates. These will
be issued to individual depositors of gold,
and in their own names, III sums ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 each.
The government now has in its vaults
between $SS,000,0O0 and $90,OO0,OOO in
gold certificates of what is known as the
series of 1888, and these will be supplied
on demand until others can be printed.
1t will be recalled that Secretary Carlisle
suspended the issue of gold certificates by
an order promulgated April IA, 1898. His
authority for SO doing was that contained
in section II of the act of July y, 1892,
which made it obligatory on the secretary
of the treasury to suspend the issue when
ever the gold reserve retained in the treas.
ury should fall below $l000000O0.
This question of resuming the issue Of
gold certificates which was suspended by
Secretary Carlisle has been under consid-
Grafton by Secretary Gage for months.
He has given the question his best
thought, and it is believed has secured the
views of other leading financiers through
out the country before taking this step
Washington, Aug. 5.-The treasury de-
partraent today made requisition upon the
bureau of engraving and printing for the
printing of $l0,0O0,000 gold certificates
in denominations of $40 EACH
