WORLDS STOCK Of GOLD
HAS INCREASED 40 PER CENT IN
SEVEN YEARS.
Forecast of the Report of Director
Leech of the United States Mint
World Wide Statistics

An increase of nearly 40 per cent in
the worlds stock of gold money during
the last seven years Will be indicated
in the forthcoming report of the direC-
tor of the mint. A table was prepared
by Director Lcech in 1898 showing the
ascertained and estimated stock of
money in all the countries of the world.
This table has been rectified from year
to year by information obtained from
United States ministers and consuls,
and from economic journals, until now
1t is believed to be as near as possible
to the exact facts. Whatever errors
may have been made in the original
calculations, there is no doubt in the
increase of the supply of gold money
within the five years, because the fig
ures are based chiefly upon the record
ed production of gold and the coinage
of the mints.
The worlds production of gold since
the discovery of America has been
about $4,000, 100000. Only about half of
this is in use as money in the form of
gold coin or gold bars. The stock of
gold money in the world at the begin
ming of the year 1898 was computed by
the mint bureau at SO, 419 SOC. 900. The
production since that time has been
about $1400, 900 900. This would have
increased the gold money at the close
of the present year to $4,000, 900, 600 if all
the gold produced had been employed
as money. There is reason to believe
however that the figures of the gold
supply made by the mint bureau in
1898 We're below the mark More COM
plete returns We're received from sew
aral leading countries in the following
years, and the estimate of the gold
money of the world was advanced on
January l, 1895, to $4.0S6, 100000. The
increase in four years since that time
has been about $3.50 900, 900, and will
raise the gold money of the world TO
$4,S00000,00O at the beginning of the
new year. upon the basis of the esti-
mate of 1895. This result is obtained by
allowing a consumption of $50, 100000
each year in the arts from the new
gold of the year or from the existing
stock of money. The whole production
Of gold for the four years has been
about $900,O00,OOO, leaving $660,OO0OOO to
be added to the monetary stock.

UPS AND DOWNS IN JAPAN.

The vicissitudes of fortune are now
and then clearly illustrated in Japan
says Ernest w. Clement of Tokyo. Fol
more than $50 years the Tokukawa
family furnished the shoguns (tycoons)
or generalissimos, who We're the real
rulers of the empire, in the name, OF
course, of a puppet emperor. 1t was
the shotgun who had the daring to re-
ceive from Commodore Perry the let
ter of President Fillmore to the
emperor and afterward without ever
asking imperial permission or sanction
to sign treaties with foreign nations
All power and fortune were in the very
hands of the Tokugawa family But
only the other day appeared a notice
in a vernacular paper that Count At
sumori Tokugawa had been compelled
to sell all his property by auction tC
satisfy his creditors. 1t is also a very
common occurrence these days to FIND
an old samurai-one of that favored
class who toied not neither did they
spin, but devoted themselves only tC
learning and warfare-in the person OF
cook in foreign family.

San Fernando, T. May Is 80.
Dear Brother:-I was disappointed
in not getting a letter from any of the
folks in the last mail, out another
mail will be in soon. AS you probab-
ly know the war is still going on.
We received word yesterday that all
the volunteers would be off the
Islands before July fret. That Is the
best news we have ever heard, and
why shou dn't we want TO get home?
The volunteers in the Philippines
have demonstrated to the world that
they can fight, that they are not cow
ards as they were represented to be
in Cuba, that they can, with guns
that will not shoot half as far as the
ones used by the enemy, move for
ward and when they get in range of
the enemy he is gone. But is this
any reason why they should do 1t all?
lie II necessary that they should wade
mud, swamps and rivers, endure the
heat of tropical sun, be half fed aud
half clothed, sleep on the battlefield
while the rain is pouring down at the
rate Of an inch per hour. Must they
do all this while their regular broth
ers sit around in nice cool barracks
and do nothing, not because they do
not fight rs well, but because they
are not given chance. No doubt we
have earned big name in this war,
but it has been dearly earned, and it
will be still dearer before we get
away. Out of about a thousand men
who were fit for duty in the Kansas
regiment when hostilities broke out,
scarcely half that many are on the
line now. | saw a company in the
Nebraska regiment with sixteen men
only, and commanded 10y corporal,

Manila, p. l. June 2.
Today feel several thousand miles
nearer to the United States, though |
have come little less than forty
miles. Eighty.tiye Kansans came in
from San Fernando May 30th, be-
cause the facilities for their proper
care in the field were over-taxed and
had been for several days.
Since our arrival at San Fernando,
May 9th, there has been very little
fighting, only one battle of much con-
sequence when Gen. Funston sent
the Kansas and Montana lads out
after them and made nearly 200
"good niggers," wounding and cap.
turing twice as many moe; Kansas
suffering two killed and seven
wounded.

FROM OUR BOYS IN MANILA

The country we had passed over the
pact four months and which was
practically depopulated has taken on
an entirely different line; thousands
have returned and gone to work as If
nothing had ever gone wrong, and in
every direction the natives could be
seen coming in from the hills. The
ruins Of the cities still remained un-
disturbed and companies of soldiers
were seen at the station to guard the
railway property. The old trenches
we had run across were not so good
rs at one time, Uut nearly al were
passed at the cost Of life.
But what a change when the land
scape takes on its spring coat of
green The recent rains have made
each dropping bu5h pick up its head
and trees have begun putting on new
leaves If we could add the songs of
the thousands of Kansas birds, it
would make us feel as if spring again
had come.

from the bay which blew across the
Tondo district, which was reduced to
ashes early in March, was most in.
