Harder Work, They Say, and Re-
fuse to Accept Company's Offer.

the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers and Locomotive F'iremen of the
Union Pacific system came here today

firemen. on account of the new big en-
gines that have recently been put in
use. on the road Under the old scale
the minimum pay for firemen has been
1925 per 100 miles. The company has
increased this to s2.15 for firemen on

MARuM IS COMING HOME
CONSUL AT PRETORIA MAY
HAVE IMPORTANT LETTERS.
It Is Said That He Bears Commune
cations From President Kruger to
President Mckinley.

Chicago, Dec. I0-A special to the
Chronicle from East Liverpool, o.,
says:
Friends in this city of Charles E
Macrum. until recently United States
consul at Pretoria, say he is returning
to this country with important inform
alton for the state department, which
he was unwilling to risk cabling. His
letters conclusively prove that not only
was Macrum not persona non grata to
the Transvaal government. but that he
was on the best possible personal
terms with President Kruger. Cabling
could only be done over line con-
trolled in part by England. 1t is be-
lieved the information brought by Ma
crum is from President Kruger. and
the purpose is to initiate measures to
bring the war to close on honorable
terms to the Dutch republic.

CoDgression Fore asst For the Com
ing Week.
MASON ON THE BoERs
COMMITTEES IN TIE SENATE
ARE TO BE REoRGANIzED.
House of Representatives Will De-
vote the Week to Discussion Of the
Currency Bill-Republicans Are
to Be Solidly In Favor of the
Bill

Washington. d. c., Dec. 1o.-The week
does not promise TO be busy one in
the senate, the indications being for
routine business and short sessions in
side the chamber, with much prepara-
ton for future work in the committee
rooms. Senator Mason will open the
week with a speech on his resolution
declaring the sympathy of this country
with the Beers in their war with Great
Britain. There may be other brief
speeches upon this and other questions.
though there is general disposition on
the part of senators to postpone speech-
making until after the holidays.
The Republican members generally
feel that the most important work Tor
the present is to secure the reorganiza-
ton of the committees, and especially
the finance committee, as preliminary
to other work. An effort will be made
to complete the reorganization during
the present week.
The finance committee may meet on
Tuesday for preliminary consideration
of the finance bill. but this is not yet
decided upon. The expectation now is
that this bill will not be taken UP in
the senate until after the Christmas
holidays. The committee on foreign
relations will take up the reciprocity
treaties on Wednesday. The commit
tee on privileges and elections will con-
slider contests over senatorial seats in
a desultory way, but the real work on
these Will not begin until Saturday.
when opposing counsel will be heard in
the Quay case.
In the House.
The house will devote the week en-
tirely to the financial debate on the
currency bill Under the terms of the
special order adopted on Friday. the
general debate will open tomorrow i'm
mediately after the reading of the
journal and continue daily from noon
until o'clock Friday. On Saturday
the bill will be read paragraph by par
agraph for amendment under the five
minute rule. The vote will not be taken
until the following Monday. The debate
will probably cover a wide range, in
GLIDING a general re-threshing OF the
campaign issue of 1896. and there may
be some stormy incidents.
The Republicans are arrayed solidly
for the bill, but many of them who
have never advocated the gold stand
ard doubtless will have to take the
floor to explain their change of posi-
ton. On the Democratic side some of
the members are reported as favoring
the bill, but there has been no canvass
made as yet. and it remains to be seen
how many of them will join the Repub-
licans upon this measure. Representa-
tive Overstreet of Indiana, who viii
have charge of the bill on the floor. will
make the opening argument in its sup
port tomorrow.

The condition of Catholicism. say
the petitioners. sis critical in the
island, especially in view of the fact
that unbounded gratitude exists toward
the great Protestant-American nation
which helped Cuba in her struggle for
liberty Intercourse between Cubans
and Americans is already close, and
becoming closer. Several branches of
the Protestant church in Cuba have al
ready nominated Cuban clergy, which
will use a powerful influence on behalf
of the Professionalism. Even patriotic
sentiment can be counted on to lead
the Cuban clergy to abandon the church
headed and directed by foreigners"

Buffalo, y. Y, Dec. 10---It is now GER
tain that the Canadian steamer Mag
ara, Captain Henry McCleery, foun-
dered on Tuesday evening last, about
eight miles east of Long Point, Lake
Erie, with all hands, numbering six
teen persons. Tugs sent out from Port

for the missing steamer have returned,
bringing with them great quantities of
wreckage picked up near where the

Judging from the amount of wreck
age that has been found, the Niagara
must have broken up badly in the

water about eight miles east of Long
Point, as none of her spars have been

shallow water they would be sticking

vessel men that Captain McCleery at
tempted to turn his boat around and
run under Long Point and in doing
so encountered the full force of the
storm, his craft going to pieces

Production Increasing Rapidly.

The production of gold in all the i'm
portant gold fields Of the world is in
creasing rapidly. with prospects OF con-
tinued gains for years to come. The
Weld in the world in the calendar year
1895 was $3S7 000, co., against $S3S, GEO.
coo in 1897. The production in Australia
TO date in 1899 has shown gain of %
per cent over the corresponding months
of 1898 which indicates a probable gain
for the full year of S16.000.000 The
United States, Canada and Mexico will
doubtless increase their production SlS.-
300 600 In South Africa the production
IN the first half Of the year was 35 per
cent above the yield OF the same months
in 1898. and if the industry had been
undisturbed the gain for the year would
probably have been $50. 900 600 As all
these principal districts are auw in
condition TO produce at higher rate
than at the opening of the present year
and all are preparing for larger yields.
it is not improbable that when oper-
atoms are fully resumed in South At
RIGA the worlds output will quickly
pass $500. 100000 per annum. The world q
stock OF coin is now being increased
more rapidly and by a higher. annual
percentage 70 the existing stock than
during The period from 1850 to 1860,
when the great output of gold from
California and Australia startled the
economists of all countries and gave
the world a deDreciating standard of
values The effect of this new flood of
standard money upon the markets. the
industries, the earnings of those who
work for wages. and all the various re-
lations of the people in our present

interesting study. II will inevitably be
