A BILLION IN COLE.
Director Roberts Says the Unitnd States Has the Largest Stock of Yel,c.x
 Metal in the World

Washington, June 14-Uncle Sam has sent S5,500 900 in gold to Europe during the last ten days. During the same period $750,00 came from France and similar amount from Australia, making the net export $4, GOO, 00O This movement has started fnanciers to speculating and prophesying, but re- ally S4 900, 900 is hardly more than pock- ct money for Uncle Sam. The govern ment officials who keep tab on his finances say this is naturally the sea- son for sending yellow metal to Flu rope to settle for sugar, silks, wines and thousand other good things Uncle Sam's nephews and nieces have enjoyed during the preced- ing year. The serenity of Wash ington officials is based on some thing more substantial than a phi losophy born of precedents. They find that the United States has the largest stock of gold in the world They figure the supply of coin and bullion at round $1,0O0, GOO, 900, and say this is the first nation to reach such lofty pinnacle of wealth. George E. Roberts, director of the hints, re- ports that on June 1 the gold coin in the United States amounted to SS63,- 1,252, while the bullion in the na~ tional treasurics aggregated S131, 742,- 352. This makes total of S9S5, ASA, GOA and Mir. Roberts says there was un- doubtedly enough bullion in private hands to bring the grand aggregate above $1,000,0O 900. Compare this with the stock of Sl35, 900, 900 in 1873, SS52, ,OOO 900 in 1880, S695, ,O00, GOO in 1890, S59S, 000,00 in 1893, and $696, 900, 900 June 80, 1S97.

FOR THE GERMAN VOTE.
Democratic Leaders, It Is Said Will Ate tempt to Array Men from the Fath-
 eriand Against Mckinley.

Chicago, June i4.-The Record says: Democratic leaders have passed the word down the line of states to demo- cratic platform makers to see to it that every democratic state convention adopts strong platforms charging the republican administration with delib- erately attempting to place Germany in false light by claiming that Germans were giving aid and comfort to Spain during the late war. The democrats intend to make this a campaign issue and the democratic state convention of Ohio, which will be held next month, is expected to lead off with strong anti-Anglo alliance plank and another plank which will denounce the Mckinley administration for entering into an alleged conspiracy with England to advance the cause of imperialism at the expense of Germany.

Denver, Col, June 14.-The indica- tions this morning are that all the smelters in Colorado belonging to the American Smelling and Refining com pany, known as the trust, will be closed on Thursday next when the eight-hour law becomes effective.

The Guggenheims have offered a new scale, about l5 per cent. higher than that offered by the trust and it is believed that their Pueblo shelter will continue in operation.

 Washington, June 14.-The cabinet meeting to-day was brief and unim- portant. "For the first time since the life of the present cabinet began" said one of the members of the cabinet after the meeting adjourned, ''the pres ident asked each member in turn if he had any matter to bring to the atten- tion of the cabinet and each in turn replied in the negative" The time of the meeting was largely occupied in reading the Associated press dispatches from Manila and the reports of Gen.

 Dewey VIII Not Accept s Home.
 Washington, June IA. - Admiral Dewey will not accept the home which the American people are preparing to present him. This comes from the admiral himself he having cabled a friend in this city that he must decline to accept it, but that if fund was raised for that purpose he would take the money and invest 1t in a home for sick and disabled sailors. It is under stood that there will be an effort to make the fund as large as possible, and that the committee will willingly ac- cede to the admiral's wishes and per init him to buy and furnish home for sailors. There is no question that Washington will be selected as the site for the home.

deposits descending into some of the
neighboring islands, the emery being
found in lenticular masses. resting on
layers of schist In limestone almost
identical with Parian marble. the fin

the island of ParOs, close by.
There are about 300 men engaged
in the trade, all of whom have to be
married before they are admitted to
the fraternity. The material is much
too hard to be dug out or even blast
ed. Great fires are lighted around the
blocks till the natural cracks expand
with the heat, and levers are then in
serted to pry them apart. This sys-

reduced in size to masses of a cubic

August is the month par excellence for
the people to meet in the ''tented

Seaside and stop at expensive hostel

version just the same. Even those
who go to the latter places. find their
chief pleasure in the company they
have with them or the associations
made, and those who go to the grove
become in a measure one community,

praise.
