Senator Teller declares that the
silver question will be the leading
issue in the campaign of 1900 and
that Bryan will be the Democratic
presidential candidate. Former
Colonel Bryan is apparently not SO
sure of the issue, because when in
tervied recently by a New York
Times reporter if he thought the
next Democratic national conven-
ton would re-affirm the Chicago
platform he replied:
"That is a broad question. New
issues and conditions have been
brought to the front since then,
but the fundamental principles are
rock-ribbed and beyond change.
l think in the next campaign you
will find the Democracy arrayed
against the permanent retention of
the Philippines and permanent
standing army of enormous size"
Decision does not mark this ut
terance. 1t is nothing more than
an acknowledgement upon the
part of Bryan that great political
conventions make their own plat
forms. Anti-expansion and oppo-
sition to a large standing army
will probably be the Democratic
issues in 1900, and Bryan is train
ing to take up the championship
of those issues.

The recent rise in the price of
silver came without any apparent
cause. The supplies of the metal
SO far this year have been more
than ample, while there has been
no special demand from any quar-
ter and shipments to the east have
decreased. France lately bought
considerable quantities for coinage,
but the purchases did not disturb
the market. The only reason for
the advance is some vague talk of
buying on Chinese account, which
is not substantiated by any facts.
Indeed, the present movement
seems to be chiefly speculative in
its nature, and there are many
stories concerning its origin. 1t is
claimed that the same parties who
have been largely concerned with
the heavy speculative advances in
copper and tin have now taken sill
yer in hand, and are forcing the
advance. For this reason, a con-
tinued rise is expected, and further
developments will be watched with
interest.

At no time in the history of the
United States was the mining in
dustry made the object of SO much
interest and movement as at the
present time. The business re-
vival now coming about owes its
inception in mining and it should
take years for the interest to run
its course. The mines have taken
the place of the railroads in the
speculative field. Mining in this
county is ON the increr5e in every
district and the results are growing
more substantial day by day. The
prospect in this section for pros
porous summer are fattering, in
deed. Letters are daily received
inquiring as to when the snow
will be off sufficiently to permit
access to the several adjacent
camps and upper basins. Gothic
and Irwin will take ON renewed
life. Several big companies are
making preparations for extensive
operations at or near both places,
and large number of small oper-
ators are making ready to work
their several properties. The re-
suit of it all will be that Crested
Butte will reap inestimable benefit.

He declined to give the terms of the
arrangement or to say whether they
contemplated ransom. He asserted,
however, that Aguinaldo had already
issued a decree for the release of the
civilian officials and the sick soldiers.
