the bullet entering the cheek and lodging
near the base of the skull. Dunkle's re-
covery is doubtful.

OF non-Asiatic countries or divisions,
the United States stands alone in the col
umn of gains over 1897; ii exceeded by
over Il, 000, 900 taels the value of its sales
in 1895, while Great Britain has lost quite
10,0O0000 taels in value since 1896. The
value OF the United States sales exceeded
by SAIL ,934 the combined sales of all
Europe and all the Russias. The average
value Of the haikwan tael in 1898 was 69.4
cents. AS nearly as can be computed from
the customs returns, the balance of trade
in 1888 was over 5000, 900 taels in Ameri-
ca s favor. Consul Fowler states that the
methods of reckoning trade are very mis-
leading
The customs method of reckoning trade
is to credit to the ship the merchandise
she carries; thus, a steamer fiying the
British flag and carrying say, nothing but
American imports, viii be credited to the
British flag. The only tables giving per-
centages Of trade, etc, are based upon the
share taken by each nationality in the
carrying trade with foreign countries and
between the treaty ports of China. Tables
made on such a basis do America great
injustice.
In conclusion, the report says: THE net
value Of foreign imports having increased
by II, l72, ,2S9 hail1wan taels over that of
1896. it is gratifying to learn that the Gus
toms reports show that the imports from
the United States increased from IL .929, ,S53
haikwan taels in 1896 to IL. 163 312 haikwan
taels in 1888, or a gain of 5, ,233 459 haik-
wan taels. leaving less than 1000, ,009 taels
of the total increase for all the rest of
the world; and. as our trade is underesti-
mated by one-third. there can be little
doubt that at least 60 per cent of the in
creased trade of China is due to the pur-
chases from the United States.
The exports to the United States in
1897 were valued at 17,S2S, 406 haikwan
taels; in 1898, at II $780, III haikwan taels;
a decrease, as compared with 1897, of s.
sal 635 haikwan taels, while our imports
increased by 5,3s4, 104 haikwan taels. No
other country made nearly so large a de-
crease in its purchases from China"

Politics in Nevada, just now, Is certain
" mixed up mess. The two old par
ties have outlined their policies through
their State Central Committees. The
Silver Party, thus far, has simply con-
tented itself with a vigorous protest
against having Its ebsequies conducted
at the present time, as the two old par
ties insist upon doing. The Populist
party seems TO have been drowned in
the showers Of abuse and objection
rained by The Plaindealer, their avowed
organ upon everything special and gen.
eral in the State and Nation. Assume
then that the Silver and Populist par
ties have been engulpod in the tide of
events and that only the Democratic
and Republican parties win be left to
do battle in the coming election; is the
atmosphere much cleared for the vo-
ters? Nine-tenths of the people in this
State are in favor Of the free and un-
limited coinage OF silver. In the face of
this fact the Republican party announ-
ces itself as the COLA party and asks the
people to vote to perpetuate the desola-
tion that now encamps in hundreds OF
silver mining towns, to vote to stifie the
main industry of the State, and admit
that silver is dead issue and conten-
lion for its rights no longer worthy OF
their consideration. The Republican
State Central Committee announces
shat the question of silver and this
States interest In it, has been elimin-
ated and that the issues to be decided
10 the next election are solely OF ma
tional character. Many silver Repub-
ncans will refuse to take the dose pre-
scribed for them.
What does the Democratic party of
Ter TO the Nevada voter?-Free silver
and loud protest against everything
existing. The party leaders in long
psroration have simply announced that
they are ssfrrninst the Government" /; a
party OF opposition. These noble gen.

Decentralization OF SILVER
Test to be Made as to Legality in
the U. s. Supreme Court.

DENVER, Cello, Dec. IA. W..
Rucker, President of the United States
Monetary League, left here to-day for
st. Louis. where he will hold confer
ence with the Governors of several
States friendly to the free coinage of
silver, relative to suit which is about
to be begun by the State OF Colorado
for the purpose of securing a decision
by the United State Supreme Court as
to the legality of the characterization of
silver.
The General Assembly of the State
passed joint resolution authorizing
the Governor to take steps to bring this
question before the Supreme Court.
After consultation with prominent pub
lie men of the State, Gov. Thomas set
tied upon course of action.
The first step was to authorize Presi-
dent Rucker, under the great seal OF
the State, to confer with other Govern
ors, and raise the funds necessary to
bring case before the Supreme court
of the United States.
The replies from Governors of those
States recognizing that silver should be
ON an equality with gold as circulate
ing medium Of value, have been most
satisfactory, promising assistance and,
il possible. active cooperation. Espe-
scially in Texas has the reception of the
idea been cordial. and it Is possible Mr..
Rucker will go to that State and meet
the Governor and State officials before
proceeding to Washington.
Suit against the government will be
begun In Denver. The United States
Monetary League win give the State of
Colorado as present solid silver brick
of the purest metal of 100 ounces, and
representing 500 at par ratio. The
Treasurer Of the State will then for
mally present the brick to the State.
The State will send it to the United
States mint at Washington, with the
demand that 1t be coined into 100 silver
dollars.
ssThis demand, of course, - says Mr..
Rucker, twill be refused. Upon the
refusal, suit viii be entered in the Uni
ted States Supreme court, for we have
right, under the Constitution, to de-
mand that the bullion be coined. The
question viii be raised as to where the
Constitution lands US, and the suit
brought In the name Of the State of
Colorado, viii cure more rapid actit u
than otherwise would be given Ii. -
Mr.. Rucker win be assisted by coun-
sci from this and other States.
