Fix the Gold Standard.


With the example of the great nations of
the world before it, the United States,
which is practically on a gold basis by
reason of the prohibition Of the free coin
age of silver, and because of admins
trative policy that acquiesces in the pay
ment of gold upon demand, should re-
form its laws as to give the gold standard
the fullest Endorsement of legislation, that
the maintenance of the standard shall not
be dependent upon the dictum of the Treas
ury Department. With the republican party
rests the responsibility; to it Is presented
the opportunity. Let it have the courage
of it's convictions.

That the American colonial and CONT
mental guests of the International congress
of women now in session in London should
express a desire to pay their respects to
the queen is not surprising, but the
gracious invitation that they ..stay to tea
was little more than they expected.
Drinking tea at Windsor under the aus

DONATION TO UNIVERSITY
OF NEW MEXICO
Mrs. Walter @. Hadley's Princely Gift to
That Institution of Learning,

Mrs. Walter C. Hadley, wife of the
late Hon. Walter G, Hadley, of Albu-
querqac, has donated to the University
of New Mexico the sum of $4,000 to be
used towards the erection of a building
and its equipment which shalfbe devoted
to the study of the climate and curative
agencies of this region in all their
complex relations to disease. Mr.. Had
ley, during his life, deeply studied con-
ditions in New Mexico. He realized from
observations and his own experience the
fact that this territory excels the world
in the healing effects Of it's climate and
before many others, the relation be-
tween germs and the diseases caused by
them. He realized that this territory
must protect itself and the precious
boon to humanity afforded by its un-
surpassed climate, and the gift which is
made to the university by Mrs. Hadley
is for the purpose of carrying into effect
the dream of the deceased.
This donation is contingent upon the
raising of like amount by the citizens
of the territory, and Albuquerque peo-
pie, with characteristic energy, have
taken hold of that part of the matter in
a determined manner. 1t is thought
that ground for the new building will be
broken the next few weeks.

No Foundation to the Story.

Washington, Feb There is no
foundation for the sensational report
that General Otis has cabled the War
department that the Filipinos are threat
ening an immediate attack upon him.
General Otis has been heard from by
the War department only once in the
past two days. This was message re-
ceived last night, relative to the health
conditions existing among the American
troops. Secretary Alger inquired by
cable, at the instance of an United
States senate resolution. General Otis
reply relates only to the subject matter
of the inquiry. and was transmitted at
once to the senate. Respecting the
political or military situation he said
nothing but the officials here have
every confidence in the ability of Cen
eral Otis and Admiral Dewey to control
the situation.

STILL TROUBLED

Soldiers.

Pana, Ill.,, Feb. 2.--F'iring was report
ed today in the Springside mining dis
trict, where the imported negro miners
are quartered, which caused considera-
bic excitement, and for time it was
believed battle had broken out with
the white union miners.
The provost guard made double
quick time to the vicinity, but We're un-
able to ascertain who did the shooting
or what the reports were. A movement
Is on foot to induce Sheriff Downey to
ask Gov. Tanner to withdraw the troops
from here. The governor stated he was
willing to comply with any reasonable
request that the officer may make. If
the sheriff will say he is able to keep
order without the troops it is probable
the soldiers will be recalled. The min
ers organization has received a donation
of two ears of coal today, and $1,000
from the state organization to distribute
among the members.

tlmsy shacks burned liercely. and were
soon a mass of smoking ruins. At least
two Chinese were burned to death A
number of others were badly burned,
and several others are missing.
