A Brave Elevator Man.

Mr.. J. w. Dloane, a gentleman who
lived at the recently destroyed Wind
sor Hotel, New York City, has started
with contribution of $500 a fund
of $40, 900, which it is hoped will be
raised for the support of tho mother
and two sisters of William Guion, an
elevator man at the hotel. Other con.
tributions have swelled the fund at
this writing to more than $4,000.
Guion had been employed at the Wind
sor for twenty years, and had charge
of the elevator when the fire broke
out. He stood his ground calamity,
and kept his elevator going through
smoke and the gravest peril, repeat
eddy bringing down loads of fright
ened people. When the collapse of
the building became imminent. he
was pulled out of his car by the DO.
lice. But he was not yet ready to
run. 1t has been said that the eleva-
tor bell rang again. At any rate, he
started up for one more trip. On his
way down, the top of the shaft fell in.
The car stopped, and he and whoever
was with him We're caught and died.
When has there been nobler in
stance of devotion to duty than this?
Running an elevator is hundrum work,
about as little adopted, apparently, to
develop heroic qualities as any work
that can be imagined. But there was
hero stuff in Guion. For him the lit
tie tinkle of his bell in that fiery con-
fusion was a signal no less august than
the voice of God. Up he went again
On sacred mission, and out of that
cage in which his body was entrapped
his soul went to his Maker.

CLEVELAND STRIKE.
A Bomb Thrown Upon the Roof Of
a RaiIwaY,s Barn.

CLEVELAND (O.). July 21.-A dyna-
mite bomb was thrown upon the roof
of the Big Consolidated Street Railway
Company's barn at Lakeview at 8
O'Clock this morning. A hole two feet
square was torn in the roof. A Wade
Park avenue car. which stood directly
beneath the hole, was wrecked.
The widest excitement prevailed
among the men in the barn. The ex4
plosion was heard for blocks and hun
dreds of people were attracted to the
scene. No one was injured. Many
windows in the big barn were shattered
by the explosion. The shock was such
as to cause the ground to tremble and
it looked for a few minutes as though
the barn itself would fall. The police
suspect two men who were seen about
the building acting in a suspicious
manner. In the excitement they got
away. Last night lawless crowds were
actively destroying trolley wires and
feed wires and placing all kinds Of OBJ
structions on the tracks.
Police Director Barrett stated that
troops would doubtless be called out
soon to suppress more violence.

THE NATIONS GOLD.
More in United States Than Any
Country in the World.

OCEAN CITY (Md), July 21.-Speak-
ing before the Maryland Bankers AS
sociation to-day, Ellis H. Roberts,
Treasurer of the United States, said:
"Since July 1, 1898, the gold in circula-
tion has grown by S62. .100,519, and the
net amount in the treasury, then $751;
444, ia, has become about S246, ,OOO, 900
the highest known in our annals
Such an increase in the yollow metal
available for currency. with the de-
mand for additional circulation, gives
vital form to the question, Why not
add to the use Of gold coin? Under
existing laws the volume of United
States notes is definitely restricted,
while silver certificates cannot exceed
the standard silver dollars in the treas
ury, nor the treasury notes run be-
yond the bullion held against them.
The national banks, while adding to
their circulation $13, ,451 1874 from July
1. 1898, to June, 1899, are now quite
steadily drawing in their notes. With
out new legislation the only way to
increase the currency is by the use of
gold coin. Gold last year went into
our circulation at the rate of more than
So,0O0,OOO a month, and during June
last the growth was $14, 4,063, ,521.
obviously the question for bankers
about gold coin is not, Can you get it?
but, Will you use it? The figures show
that an affirmative answer has been
rendered in considerable degree, with
some protest, doubtless, and more or
less under the stress of necessity. The
concession is to be made that in this
part of the country prejudice exists
against the actual handling of gold
coin because of it's abrasion, because
of the danger of mistaking it for sill
yer of it's weight. But our fellow citl,
zens on the Pacific Coast prefer gold
coin to paper, and the bank tellers there
insist that the former is more con-
venient in daily transactions. Those
who travel in Europe also testify that
the British sovereign, the French Ma
poleon and the German double crown
are in constant circulation in all coun-
tries
"The stock of gold in the United
States exceeds that in any country in
the world, and is estimated to be $780,
454, 900, and is 5005 per cent of all our
circulation and $12.S1 per capita of our
population.
France, with the next largest stock,
$4,000, 900, exceeds US in it's per capita
S2106. The ratio in Great Britain of
gold to all currency is 65.2 per cent, in
Germany 65.96 and in France 59.S The
per capita in Great Britain is $110
and in Germany $127S.
1--WE cannot doubt that Congress will
at it's next session put the nation
clearly, definitely and permanently on
gold basis. Does not that mean more
than that gold shall be our money of
account? 1t must purport that all forms
of currency shall be exchangeable into
that Of the legal standard

face the General in a manly way and
ask him to retire and give his reasons
for making the request. He finally ac-
complished by indirection what he
dared not do in an open and frank
manner himself"
Governor Pingree states that Mr.. Ho-
bart was finally prevailed upon by At
torney General Griggs to convey to the
sired, "and gave my alleged alliance
with the Secretary. as a pretext.'
Z Commenting upon the whole matter,
the Governor says that General Alger's
sacrifice was compelled by demands Of
New York politicians. backed by the
"unscrupulous and heartless press" He
predicts that it will be learned that
the President himself has been respon-
sible for whatever mistakes have been
made in conducting the war"
He adds: II am told on the very best
authority that General Alger made very
few appointments of officers during the
war, and that the commissions were
issued almost entirely upon the orders
of the President"
The Governor alleges that the more
recent attacks upon Alger in the East
were caused by his frank declaration
of opposition to trusts. and he added
there is a decided order of trusta
around the present Administration,
with Mark Hanna as the acknowledged
king maker"
In conclusion the Governor calls
upon Michigan people and newspapers
to protest against the injustice done
the States foremost representative in
public life. 1t is conjectured here that
Brigadier General Henry M. Duff1eld
gave some of the foregoing information,
but the General declines to be inter-
viewed.

NEW YORK STRIKE.
Latest Information Shows the Sit
uation UNCHANGED.


NEW YORK, July 21.-In the bor-
oughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn to-
day the strike situation generally
speaking remains unchanged. On Man
haitian Island cars on all the lines of
the Metropolitan system were run On
practically the usual headway and at
night the cars on Second avenue, Sixth
and Eighth avenues were under police
protection, although the claim is made
by the company that there is no longer
any necessity even for this Policemen
still guard the depots of the several
lines. 1t is expected they will be sent
back to the stations Saturday or Sun
day, and if this is done little trouble
will be anticipated with the strikers in
the future.
The events of the greatest interest
during the day were the arrest of Pres
ident Rossiter of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company, on a warrant issued
by Magistrate Brenner, charging him
with criminal libel, Albert L. Johnson,
formerly President of the Nassau Rail-
road being the complainant, and the no.
tification of = the different attorneys
within the limits of Greater New York
that the ten-hour law was enforcible
and asking them to communicate with
Secretary John P. Donnelly of the
Building Trades section of the Central
Trade Union and submit complaints to
a Grand Jury or Magistrate.
The arrest of President Rossiter, al
though interesting, will not, it is
thought, have any marked effect on the
strike.
Ex-President Johnson objects to
statements made by President Rossiter
to Brooklyn reporters in a recent in
terview. In the interview Mr.. Rossiter
is quoted as saying. after referring to
the strikers charged with blowing UP
the Fifth avenue elevated structure
with dynamite: "Those are not my
men. Albert L. Johnson is welcome to
them; Albert L. Johnson is the leader
of them; I am told that there is evil
dence against some of the men to send
them to the prison for twenty years"
The letters written by Mayor Van
Wyck to each of the District Attorneys
of four counties included within the
city, regarding the enforcement of the
ten-hour law, it is thought may result
in transference of the street car trou-
BILE of Greater New York to the courts
AlleT requesting the Olu0r0nC OlSCTlCC
Attorneys to bring the subject of the
alleged enforcement of the ten-hour
to the Grand Jury or Magistrates hay
ing jurisdiction.
The Mayor wrote to Secretary DON,
nelly informing him that violations of
the labor laws should be brought to
the attention of the District Attorney
in the county where the offense is COM
mitted, and notifying him of the in
structions sent to those officials.
The strikers held various meetings
tonight in the different boroughs.
The Brooklyn strike leaders still seem
to be of the opinion that the men have
a chance for victory.
During the afternoon and evening
strikers on both sides of the East River
discussed the wisdom of the policy of
the program of Master Workman Par
sons to march to the City Hall with
thousands of men for the purpose of
protesting to Mayor Van Wyck against
the alleged violations.
