The matter of inviting President Diaz,
of Mexico, to visit Minneapolis, comes up
in communication from the mayor The
Mexican executive will visit Chicago in
the fall, and it has been intimated that
he would be pleased to visit the North
west if an invitation were extended.
The mayor in his message advised the
council of the facts in the case, and
without objection a formal invitation was
extended. 1t is regarded as very prob
able that the invitation will be accepted
and that the man whose name has been
so prominently identified with the recent
history of Mexico, will be in Minneap-
oils in October.

MUST USE GOLD.
Only Way of Obviating the Present
Shortage of Currency.


WASHINGTON, d. c., July 28.-''The
amount of gold which the government
now holds is higher N average than for
any previous month"; said an official of
the treasury department today. THE to-
tai on hand yesterday was $246, $685. S87 We
are receiving more gold in the ordinary
treasury receipts and paying out more in
the disbursements of the government
than ever before. More than 70 per cent
OF the payments in the last fiscal year
were in gold, against less than per cent
i'll the previous year. Nearly % per cent
OF the receipts last year were in gold, as
against per cent the previous year.
The country must use more gold coin
in the ordinary transactions of business
This is the only solution to the problem
confronting some of the banks caused by
the stringency of the currency In the
East The treasury has done all in it's
power to provide against a currency fam
Inc. 1t was realized months ago that the
increasing demands of business would
call for more money The treasury took
precautions to have all denominations of
notes ready for exchanges, and stands
prepared at all times to issue small d.
nominations Of currency in exchange for
larger.
Banks are complaining against the
treasury for the famine in currency. We
are not to blame We are not boarding
a dollar of currency today. We have put
into circulation the full amount author.z-
ed by law, and retaining in the vaults
only the barest margin necessary for the
redemption of mutilated notes"

SAVANNAH CUP RACE.
American Challenger Constance
Was the winner.


DORVAL, Que, July 28-The first race
for the Seawanhaka cup today resulted
in victory for the American challenger,
Constance, over the Canadian defender,
Glencairn Ill, by two minutes fifteen
seconds. The result was a surprise to
the large crowd of Montrealers who were
present at the course to see the race.
After considerable maneuVering about
the starting point the preparatory gun
was fired at las, and ten minutes later
the whistle blew for the start. The Con-
stance crossed the line first, followed
by Glencairn Just second later.
A noticeable feature of the race was in
going around the buoys the Glencairn
got her spinnaker out Immediately, while
the Constance was much slower, cover
ing fifteen to twenty yards before doing
it. There was a straight gain of at least
five seconds for the Canadian yacht in
this single instance. The Glencairn ran
much faster before the wind, her large
spinnaker giving her this advantage, but
the American boat pointed much the
best. The moderate southwest breeze of
the morning stifened slightly as the day
progressed, but again moderated some
what.
Today's race showed that the Ameri-
can boat has the advantage in the lighter
wind and in beating TO w1ndward she
can show the Glencairn the way, but be-
fore the wind she is at a disadvantage
on account of sail area. The official start
was made at 1:55:0S, and the finish 4:13:28.
Following is the official statement of the
start rounding of buoys and finishes Of
both.

TALK OF GOMEZ.
Said the Cuban Leader Has AsDfra-
tiOns in San Domingo.


WASHINGTON, July 2S.-By the as
sassiEation of President Heureaux. of
San Domingo, Cuba may lose one of its
central figures, as it is well known Gen.
Maxine Gomez aspires to the presidency
of the black republic
Some time ago Gen. Gomez issued a
manifesto to the Cuban army in which he
babe his soldiers good-by and signifed
his intention to return to San Domingo
his native land. AS Gomez's love for adj
venture and fighting for what he calls lib
erty are well known, it is believed he will
start for San Domingo at once, organize
an army and endeavor to fight his Way
to the presidency. Gomez is a good or
ganizer, and those who came in contact
with him in Cuba say he is one of the best
soldiers in Cuba and he has the tenacity
TO stick to cause until it triumphs. The
old general knows he will not be chosen
president OF Cuba, if that island ever had
president, as it is believed the constitu-
ton of Cuba will closely follow that of
the United States and provide that only
native Cubans can be elected to the high
est Office.
This bar will not confront Gen Gomez
in San Domingo, as he was born on that
island and his family still reside there
Although Gomez has been absent from
San Domingo for a number of years, he
still claims it as his home, and this claim
will undoubtedly hold good. AS 1t is
natural for troops to flock to a successful
soldier, 1t would not be surprising If Gen.
Gomez should organize a large army and,
within a short time, find himself within
the presidential chair.

DULUTH TO THE SEA.
Proposed Canal to Connect Lake
Ports with Those of Europe.

Ports With Those of Europe.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-When Gov.
Roosevelt meets the legislature next jan
uary he will be able to lay before that
body, with or without recommendations,
two suggestions involving the very high
est kind of practical craftsmanship af-
fecting a great deal of the commerce to
and from the West. In fact, in these sug-
gestions may be found all that is worth
while in the way of answer to questions
the governor himself recently put, these
being, first, whether 1t is worth while
for the state of New York any longer to
maintain her historic canal, or whether
1t should be enlarged so as to make
barge canal, or, again, whether all lesser
considerations should be swept aside and
a canal built which would match in size
and greatly overmatch in length the Suez
canal, comparable only with the proposed
Nicaragua canal in extent from terminal
to terminal.
1t so happens that one of the most prac-
teal of all the statesmen this state has
known, Abram s. Hewitt, has made
suggestion that was made public on the
very day when an engineer of great abil-
ity made his report at Albany of a sur
vey for genuine ship canal, which, if
constructed, will make it possible for
ocean steamships to go directly from
other port in the world.
Although Mr.. Wewitt seems to be of
the opinion that the Erie canal has had
its day, vet that opinion is not incon-
sistent with the recommendations made
by the state engineer, especially instruct
ed to make a survey OF a feasible route
for a true ship canal from Lake Erie to
the Atlantic ocean. In a general way
the report made by this engineer, George
w. Ratfer, does not differ from tentative
suggestions made by David B. Hill when
he was governor of this state. Mr.. Hill
was of the opinion that early in the TWEEN
tieth century New York state would be
compelled to decide whether the Erie
canal was to be so enlarged as to make
1t possible for a steamship capable of
crossing the ocean to pass through it, or
whether the locks should be shut down,
water drained out and the canal aban-
doned perhaps to some private corpora
ton, which would make q smooth, level
road crossing the state from Albany to
Buffalo.

DISPUTE AT REST.
boundary Question QUieted for
Some Months by Negotiations.


WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2S-Tne
state department admits that 1t and the
foreign office in London are working on
two lines of negotiations regarding the
Alaskan boundary, and that one of these
is the proposed free port privileges to be
granted to the Canadians at some point
on the Lynn canal. 1t is denied, how
ever, that the proposition goes so far as
to ALLEVIATE any territory of the United
States in the sense that 1t would require
an act of congress to confirm 1t. Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian premier,
in an interview says he knows nothing
about such a proposition. 1t is there
fore assumed here that the Brit
isr foreign office is not consulting
the Canadians regarding the proposition,
and that there is little hope of any COM
promise that does not include Canadian
agreement. When this offer of free port
privileges was made in the joint high
commission the Canadians rejected it.
What other proposition is to go with
this one for free port privileges to make
it's granting by the Canadian govern
ment more than a sop to the Canadians
to keep them quiet, the state department
is not ready to say, but it is conceded
that Great Britain must agree to the
correctness of the American contention
that no part of the Lynn canal falls
within the line Of Canadian Jurisdiction
To grant free port privileges on the ca
nal without some such acknowledgment
from the other side would be no advance
toward settlement, but simply a sur
render to Canada of the most valuable
privilege in the whole contention, an out,
let for the Klondike This is the only
real point of value in the Canadian claim
and to give her an outlet to the ocean
through a free port, even though only
leased for a term of years, might quiet
her for a time, but it would not be any
advance toward a settlement OF the Alas
kan boundary dispute. The willingness
Of the British foreign office TO consider
this proposition for a free port for the
Canadians is not regarded as significant.

continuously for two days and nights.
When he did not awaken Wednesday
afternoon the family tried to arouse the
sleeping man, but failed in the attempt.
A physician was summoned, but could
not awaken him. Apparently he suffered
no pain and seemed to be in a deep, nat
ural sleep, At first his heart was nor

and finally ceased. Up to the time of
his death Mr.. Beaumont had been in
good health. Formerly he was con-
