Washington, Nov. Thomas Il
Galloway, who has just been appointed
by Commissioner General Peck, a spe'
cial commissioner to the Paris eXposi'
tion for the purpose of preparing ant
managing negro exhibit, has already
begun his work and will start i'm {
few days upon tour Of collection foi
the exhibits. lie has given out the
following outline Of the plans:
"The negro exhibit, as its name in
dicates, is TO show as far as possible
the actual status of the colored people,
us shown in their homes, schools
farms, stores, churches, professions
and other pursuits. The amount of
space is limited, but sufficient TO prove
the ncgro's value as laborer, n pro-
ducer, citizen. Contrasting views of
mud chimneys cabins with well APP
pointed homes, crude log school houses
with commodious school buildings, in
the past and present condition of the
race will he shown in way to remove
all doubt Of the rapid progress being
made. As most of Europe is now en-
gagged in African colonization, it Is
very important that those countries
find hopeful view of the racial adj
iustment and no better way is known
than through such an exhibit"

NOT TO SUE MGR. IRELAND
Funston Will Push Suit Againt San
Francisco Catholic Paper,
However.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 4.-General
Funston was seen by an Associated
Press representative while passing
through here today. He said he did
not intend to sue Archbishop Ireland
for libel, but would push suit against
San Francisco paper (the Monitor),
which published story that he rifed
the churches in the Philippines.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 2.--.Archbishop
Ireland appeared somewhat sur.
prised when he heard that General
Funston, of Kansas, was reported as
about to sue him for libel on account
of statements attributed to him in a
Chicago interview. He said he had
made no charges against General
Funston, but had in conversation ex.
pressed the opinion that the state
ments of the San Francisco paper
charging the general with having
taken a priests robe from Philip
pine church should be denied by Gen
eral Funston at once, lest failure to
deny lead to a wrong impression.
The archbishop admitted the substan-
tial accuracy of the Chicago inter-
view, but was not willing to admit
that he had made any libelous state
ments.

NEW BANK LOAN RULING.

When Coilatera1s Are Pledged,

4 Washington, Nov. 7.--Commissioner
Wilson, of the internal revenue bu.
reau, has decided that when banks
loan money without taking promis.
sorry notes and specified collaterals are
pledged as security for certain and
definite sum of money as evidence and
entries on books, etc., tax accrues as
pledge.
| The question came up on case in
Philadelphia. When d specific loan is
desired the borrower either signs an
application for loan or makes a YER
bal request for loan, at the same
time submitting collaterals which he

loan. Upon approval by the proper

rover has applied for a loan the pay.

collaterals which the borrower has
pledged IRE placed IN ah envelope, or
the outside OF which the said collat
erals are listed. The loan in detail j.,
| entered on the loan book of the bank
and such other entries are made on
the books as are necessary. This, il
Is stated, is the general method pur.
sued by the banks in Philadelphia, as
well as by the banks in New York and
elsewhere.
In some instances no application for
a loan is signed, and the collaterals
are not listed on the outside Of the
envelope in which they are placed, but
in all cases the collaterals pledged foT
any loan are either listed in detail OF
the outside Of the envelope in which
they are placed or on the loan book
of the bank making the loan, but ir
no instance is a promissory note used
In a letter to the revenue agent at
Philadelphia Commissioners Wilson
says:
You are advised that in determin.

by the borrower to secure certain

their three-yard line. West Point was
on the defensive most of the time, but
made gains through Yale's left tackle
several times.

Deadwood, s. d., Nov. THE min
| ing of wolfram ore in few districts
in Lawrence county has become quite
a feature. The first wolfram ore in
the northern Hills was discovered last
winter in the Harrison mine, north of
Lead, and since that discovery this
kind OF ore has been found in num-
ber of other places. An Omaha com.
pany had been mining the ore for
some time previous TO the Harrison
discovery from place near Hill City,
in Pennington county. At the Du-
range mine, in the north Lead mining
| district, there is shoot of wolfram
ore about eighteen inches wide and
fourteen inches thick and thirty tons
| of il have been mined and are ready
for shipment. The ore runs from 40
to 55 per cent wolfram and ii sells at
the mine for $50, "a percent which
makes il very valuable ore to mine.
1t is nearly twice as heavy as the gold
ore.
In the Harrison mine, adjoining the
Durango on the west, there is q shoot
OF ore about twenty-five feet wide of
silicious gold ore and on the top there
is layer of wolfram which is of
about the same richness as the Du-
range ore. The owners of the Har.
rison leased the Girls Rath stamp mill,
in Sawpit gulch, last summer and con.
centrated the ore successfully. The
