Uncle Sam Will Not Now Take Gold in
ixc!Ian..c fer liver.
1t may he an astonishing statement to
say that the United States Government
refuses to accept gold OF its own coinage
in exchange for silver dollars. but that
is what ut least one s%.b-treasurcr is ac-
tuaily doing. The complaint comes from
st. Louis, whore the sub-trcas,rcr de-
clincs to exchange silver dollars except
for silver certificates. Neither gold nor
bnnk notes will tempt the white coins
from his vaults. 1t is quite possible for
the United States treasury to reach u
point where IL general order will be is
sued to all sub-treusurcrs forhidding them
to exchange silver dollars for gold, ma
tional bank notes or any other form of
currency except silver certificates.
Uncle Sam presents the remarkable
spectacle of tryin:, TO get rid of gold and
of boarding silver. The treasury stock
Of fractional silver is down to $3,45G, 500,
and there is no law for buying any more
bullion for this coinage. Government
officials fear the entire stock of small
silver will be called into circulation be-
fore Congress can take action to meet the
great demand.

ASKS QUEEN TO INTERVENE.
President Kruger Appeal. to Victoria
to Prevent BloOdshcd.


London adviccs say that President
Krugcr's cablegram to the Queen. asking
for peace will likely prolong the delay and
possibly result i'll Il conference. The pres
idcnt of the T%ransvaal assumes high NOR
al grounds and argues with great earnest
ness. 1t is difficult to see how the Queen
can ignore the appeal. There are con-
sidcrntions that will modify the effect of
the petition-its hardness and the fact
that the Transvaal Government had APP
pealed to the continental powers prcyi-
ously.
Meanwhile the preparations for war
continue with every evidence of bcllicose
industry on both sides. Double forces are
working at the royal arsenal and dock
yards to equip and transport troops to
the cape. All factories making the par
aphernalia OF war are working overtime
on large orders.
The reply of President Stcyn of the
Orange Free State to the note of Sir AL
fred Milnel. is far more diplomatic than
pacific. 1t is thought that the Free
State raad will plunge into war at it's
first opportunity. The Boer activity in
preparing for hcstilitics is not less than
the British. The distribution of rifles
goes OH with increased rapidity and the
massins on the frontier is nearing COM
pletion.
The Citlandcr council, as the result of
meetings held at Pictermaritzburg and
Johannesburg, decided TO address a com
munication to the British high commits
sioner, Sir Alfred Miner, urging the inn
perial Government to break off negotia-
tons with the Transvaal. The reasons
for this action are that 1.-The severe dis
tress prevailing may compel the remain
ing Citlan!crs to accept amy compromise
offered. that loyal British subjects are
becoming DISCONTINUED aud that great I'M
rest exists among the mtives.'

The grand total of casualties since the
advent of negro miners from the South
to take the places of striking white min
ers in the Pana district is something APP
%palling. The coal strike Was declared in
southern Illinois on April ], 1898, be-
causc of the failure of the operators TO
abide by the decision of the arbitration
board. -Four months later the importa-
ton of negro miners from Alabama CONF
menced.
With the arrival of the first batch Is
negroes the trouble began. Numerous
clashes OF 4; more or less %sansuinary MT

great tragedy came Oct. 13, when the

Several friends of Rear Admiral
Schley called on the President Monday
and protested against the assignment of
Schlcy to the South Atlantic squadron.
This position is only secondary in ilnpol-
tance, and in navy circles the assignment
is regarded as a shelving of Admiral
Schlcy.
To the President they bitterly dcnonnc-
ed the persistent persecution of Schley
by the Navy Department. and urged the
executive to right matters by having
Schlcy given a more important assign
ment. After the conference Gen. Angus
said that he believed the President would
order II change that would give Scllcy
his deserts.
