There IS no weakness in values,
though there is less speculative de-
mand, and general sales foot up quite
well. Boston's sales for the week ex-
coed 100000 pounds, of which about
100000 pounds were domestic. Some
good lines of territories are being taken
on the secured basis of 43@45c for fine

Fleece woods are rather firmer. but

Pulled woods are meeting with more

SILVER.

A slight decline in the London mar
ket this week brought the price for bar
silver there down to q 11-16d. per
ounce, or fully Id. below the figure of
last April, when the speculative rise
occurred The market rallied fraction
ally after this, but remains without
features, apart from the comparative
steadiness Of prices in New York and
the indisposition of American holders
to force silver on the market. The quo
tation on this side. however. showed
this week a sympathetic declie from

They were all in it, and they invested
their friend with powers plenipoten-

point, save that it is a historic fact
that Venice was visited. No one ever

Ships Which Will Carry Troops to

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The Quar-
termaster's Department of the army,
which is employing every means at its
disposal for the transportation of
troops to the Philippines, has prepared
the following statement on the subject:
The following ships will be available
to carry the first ten regiments and re-
cruits to Manila, getting them there
about the first of November: Warren,
Puebla, Columbia. Charles Nelson,
Sherman, Belgian King, Hancock,

with probably two or three additional
chartered vessels.

pose of carrying the second ten regi-

interesting, will develop into fighting
all along the line. There will be no
opposition to San Francisco having the
Grand Council next year, for the rea-
son that the fiftieth anniversary of the
admission of the State into the Union
will be celebrated there.
1t is doubtful if the Grand Council
will finish it's labors in time TO par
ticipate in the reception of the Cali
fornia volunteers, although business is
is being expedited as rapidly as pos
sible.
At the session of the Grand Council
of the Young Mems Institute this after
noon a letter was received from Mrs.
Margaret Deane, Grand President Of
the Catholic Ladies Aid Society, con-
tanning expressions of good will and
hoping for a continuance of friendly
sentiment between societies. A reso-
luton was adopted by a standing vote
denunciatory of the report of the lnsu-
lar Committee regarding religious af-
fairs in Porto Rico. 1t was decided to
make the Institute Journal the Off
cial organ, the members to pay a per
capita tax for it's support. The new
ritual was exemplified during the ses-
sion. An amendment consolidating
the lectures for the San Francisco dele
gates was adopted.

That 1t is to Be Pushed Vigorously
and Promptly
Evident From a Remark Made by Secretary
of War Root.
Determined That Every Man Be-
longing to the Twenty New Reg
iments Shall BE in the Islands
Before the Christmas Holidays.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. - Secretary
of War Root returned tonight from his
visit to the President at Lake Cham
plain. He went at once to his apart
ments at the Arlington Hotel, and dur
ing the evening spent some time with
General Corbin and Acting Secretary
Meiklejohn
The Secretary was reticent in speak
ing for publication of his conference
with the President The matters dis
cussed, he said, were such as would
ordinarily be taken up at Cabinet
meeting, and involved no great depart
ures from the policy already in force
respecting the Philippines.
That the campaign in the Philippines
is to be pushed vigorously and prompt
ly is evident from a remark the Sec
retary made to the reporters.
He was determined he said, that ev-
cry man belonging to the twenty regi-
ments of volunteers now being recruit
ed shall eat their Christmas dinner in
that country This statement was
brought out by a reference to a pub
lished report that ten of these regi-
ments We're to be held in the United
States as a reserve force.
regarding the report that General
Wesley Merritt, who has also been at
Lake Champlain in conference with the
President and his War Secretary is to
succeed General Otis in command Of the
troops in the Philippines, Secretary
Root was non-committal He evaded
all questions on this point, and declined
to make any positive statement what
ever in regard to the subject.
The Secretary's attention was called
to reports of fresh propositions for
treating with the insurgents with a
view to a peaceful settlement of the
war in the Philippines. He had not
heard of any of these, although he ex-
pressed himself as being glad if such a
solution of the difficulties could be
brought about.
The conditions in Porto Rico are re-
ceiving the chief attention of War De-
partment officials, and Secretary Root
noted the fact that approximately $40,-
600 or $4,000 in money has been raised
for the relief of the distressed ISL
anders.

The Homestake Mine.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. pa special
from Deadwood, S. D., says: The
Hearst interest, one-third of the great
Homestake mine of this city, is to be
sold in London next month. The de-
tails of the deal are all made. The
mine is valued at about SO 00O,0 ,00O and
is capitalized at So, 900 900. 1t has
paid dividends of ST. 723, 300, and is I'M
derstood to have ground opened to m
sure dividends of $50, 900 monthly for
the next twenty years. The Hearsts
get about $500 900 for a third interest
in the Homestake alone, and it is sup
posed that the same interest in the
Deadwood-Terra and Highland will so
also.
