FUNSTON'S DAY.
Kansas Reception of The Fighting
twentieth.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 1.-The capital
city of Kansas is en- fete today in honor
of the return of Brigadier General
Frederick Funston and the members of
the Twentieth Kansas regiment of vol
unteers. BY proclamation of Governor
Stanley today and tomorrow We're
designated as holidays throughout the
state. The city is filled with visitors
from three states, come to attend the
big celebration and to witness the pre-
sentation of the sword to General
Funston.
The celebration, however, is not con-
fined to Topeka and news received
from cities, towns and villages
throughout the state tell of local OBJ
servances in honor of the soldier boys
who have returned from the Philip
pines in time to enjoy the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner at home board.

HADN'T HEARD OF IT.

London, Nov. 2.-The war office off,
cially declares that it has no informa-
tion of any further engagement at
Ladysmith or of a British victory as
reported in New York.
The war office received a telegram
dispatched from Ladysmith today say
ing that General White was well and
holding his position. A special dispatch
from Ladysmith says that twenty Brit
ish dead and one hundred wounded
have been counted on the scene of Mon
days disaster, while $50 prisoners were
sent to Pretoria. Another list of cas-
ualties at Dundee was issued by the
war office today. 1t gives 50 non-com-
missiOned officers and men of the Dub
lin fusileers missing, indicating that
the Beers captured as many fusileers
as they did hussars.
The war office this afternoon
issued the following dispatch: Lady
smith, Nov. 2.-Lieutenant Eyer
ton, H. NJ. S. Powerful, was
seriously wounded this morning by a
shell, but his life is not in danger" 1t
was inferred from this that the artil-
lery duel between the Beers and the
British continues.

THE WAR OFFICE DENIES.

London, Nov. 2.-The secretary of the
war office, who was shown the Cape
Town dispatch of the Havas agency,
said the statements made were utterly
baseless. Brussels, where the Havas
dispatch originated. is the head
quarters of DR.. Leyds, the
diplomatic agent of the Trans
vaal, and it is thought thefo Cape
Town dispatch may be an exaggerated
Boer version of the recent fighting.
1856 p. m.-The war Office has just
informed the Associated Press that a
dispatch had been received from the
governor of Natal, Sir Walter Francis
Hely- Hutchinson, announcing that
communication with Ladysmith had
been interrupted since half past two
this afternoon. This is not regarded by
the war Office, however. as in any wise
confirming the rumor of a complete in
vestment of Ladysmith or of the cap
ture of Colenso.
General Sir George Stewart White
has cabled the war office that in the
engagement on Farquhar's farm, near
Ladysmith, October 80, when Lieuten-
ant-Col. Cartoons column was COM
PEELED to surrender, six officers were
killed aud nine wounded. Among the
non-commissioner officers and men the
casualties were fifty-four killed and
231 wounded.
Again it is asserted at Aldershot
that the mobilization of a second army
corps will begin November 10 and that
the whole of the reserves of the trans
port branch of the army service corps
will be called out.

LIBERAL RESPONSES
Government Employees Contributing
TO The ohio Campaign.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The govern
ment employees at Washington have
been responding with unusual liberal
ity to the solicitation of the Ohio re-
publican finance committee. The let
ter sent out by the committee was
urgent, and cited the fact that the re-
suit of the Ohio election this fall was
of great consequence to the president.
and also pointed out that there need
be no fear Of a violation of the civil
service law, since those soliciting the
contributions were not government
employees.
The ready and liberal response to this
appeal is probably due to developments
with reference to the civil service law
during the past year and a half For
long time it has been practically i'm
possible to get any considerable amount
of money for political purposes out of
the government clerks and officials,
those only contributing who were po-
litical enthusiasts or not protected by
the law, and therefore anxious. Dur
ing the past ten or twelve years clerks
have been relieved from the feeling of
obligation to give their money to help
keep a political party in power, and
very few of them have given anything
at all.
In the last congress, however, there
was made d determined and bold fight
in antagonism to the civil service law,
and since then there has been a modi-
fication,, charging the excepted class,
by executive order. Altogether, it is
said that there is not the same faith in
the stability of the law that has been
felt heretofore. Clerks, having been so
long free from pressure for political
assessments, may feel that they can
now afford TO give literally when the
request is made on the ground that the
contributions will serve a cause of vital
importance to the president. At all
events, the responses to the circular
have been liberal, and not confined to
clerks claiming Ohio as their home.

THE PARNELL HONE
Liable TO Be Sold on Account of
FdCfiOnaI QuartreIS.

London. Nov. fractional quarrels
among the Irish Nationalists are SEEM
ingly responsible for the failure of the
plan to save the Parnell home, and un-
less there is an eleventh-hour interven-
tion or a sale by private contract the
entire Parnell estate, including Avon
dale house and its demesne, will go un-
der the auctioneer's hammer at Dublin
tomorrow.
The scheme to purchase the estate
and make it a national demesne has
gone up in smoke, while the efforts to
persuade those in charge of the Paris
fund to release Avondale from the
claims upon it have proved equally fu-
tile.

mise than purpose in the matter. The
event would be much more likely if
the position of the dual powers were
as favorable to such a venture as their
disposition undoubtedly is. 1t may be
taken for granted that such a quarrel,
if undertaken, would develop into a
great European struggle; and there are
apparently insuperable reasons why
neither Russia nor France should as
sumo such momentous responsibilities.
Russia is in sharp financial straits AMI
is likely to remain so until her Siber-
ian railroad is completed and her posi-
ton in Manchuria is consolidated. She
could not offer defiance to Englands
navy without imperiling all she has
won and all she is planning for in
China and the Northern Pacific. She
knows better than to expose her great
immature schemes in eastern China
to the overhauling Of the open-doOr
powers in a possible concert between
them. France would not take the risk
of a struggle that would in all prob
ability close the doors of her great eX-
position and bring popular displeasure
on the government for running that
splendid display of French enterprise.
In the absence OF any special reasons
fer Intervention, with SO many argu-
ments of convenience against it, and
with the possibility of both powers
coming out on the wrong side after a
life and death struggle, it seems in
credible that either of these powers
should commit the folly attributed to
them by current rumor. A courageous
prophet would perhaps take little risk
in predicting that, six months hence.
the Transvaal war will be out of the
way and assigned to its shelf in his
tory.

An Interesting Compilation by
the Director Of the Mint.
The PRODUCT BY CENTURIES
One.haEf of u All has seen Produced
In Forty Years and One-fourih
or 10 within Fifteen YSars-The
Effect of the uSpenSion of
Operations In The TranSvaal
Country.

Washington, Nov. 2.-(SpeciaL)-Of
the $4,000, 100000 of gold produced
in the world since the discovery of
America, more than one-half has been
produced since 1860 and more than one
fourth since 1885. Or to put it in
other words, one-half of the gold pro-
duct of the last 400 years has been pro-
duced within forty years, and one
fourth within fifteen years.
These facts regarding the gold pro-
duction of the world are presented by
some compilations of the treasury bu-
reau of statistics anent the temporary
suspension of gold mining in South
Africa and its possible effect upon the
gold supply of the world. The compila-
ton presents the facts collected by
Dr. Adolph Soetbeer and the director
of the United States mint, which shows
the gold product of the world by de-
cades and years since the discovery of
America, and when summarized show
ton from 1893 to and including the es-
innate for 1899 amounts TO s9,S33, ,059,-
500. A casual examination of the fig
ures of annual production shows SO
plainly the very rapid increase during
the last half of the closing century of
the term under consideration as to
suggest a detailed examination of the
relative proportion of recent produc-
ton to that of earlier periods. This
examination develops the fact that of
the sS,SSS, ,059,6O gold produced since
1893. S5,341, ,S55, 600, or considerably more
than one-half, has been produced
since 1860, and $3.50. .260. 400, or more
than one-fourth, since 1885.
The following condensed table shows
the gold product by centuries and
fractions of centuries from 1893 to
1860, and by decades from 1850 to the
close of 1899, adopting for the current
year an estimate recently made by the
director of the mint, but deducting
from it the temporary loss likely to
result from the suspension of produc-
tion in the Transvaal during the clos
ing quarter of the year. The original
estimate of the director of the mint for
the year 1899 was $3.50 900, 900, and de-
Quoting $4,000 900 for the suspension of
work in the Transvaal during the
closing quarter of the year, would put
the 1899 production at 1925. OOO. 900. The
statement of the worlds gold produc-
ton for the period 1493-1S99, there
fore, stands as follows:

Production

An examination of the above table
and the average for each of the periods
stated indicates the rapid increase in
production during recent years. Dur
ing the S6S years from 1893 to and in
cluding 1860 the average annual pro-
duct was $12, ,OS7, and during the
period 1S61-1S99 the average annual
production was s136.945.O15, or more
than ten times the average of the
earlier period. Coming down to still
later years, the period 1S911S99 shows
an annual average of S204, ,773. 555 per
annum, and the single year 1899 by
conservative estimates, 1925, ,0OO,00
The growth in production is perhaps
more clearly shown by the following
statement of annual average produc-
tion during certain periods:

sRegarding the effect of the suspen-
sion of gold production in the Trans
vaal, a statement of the amount of
gold produced from the mines of that
country and beside it another showing
the amount produced in other parts of
the world gives an opportunity to de-
termine the probable effect. The table
shows that the gold production of the
entire world outside the Transvaal
mines is now double that of the entire
world including the Transvaal mines
a decade ago, and exceeds that of the
entire world in any year prior to 1897,
thus showing the ability of the mines
of other parts of the world to furnish
more than the average additions to
the worlds money supply that have
been made in the immediate past. The
table is as follows:
