Cause of the Trouble.

New York, Aug. 3.-The Times says:
The bank troubles in Montreal may be
attributed in a great measure to the
wave of mining speculation which has
appeared in Canada with it's greatest de-
velopment in two most important and
wealthy cities in that country. Montreal
and Toronto. 1t had its origin IN the
opening up and development of the klon-
dixie gold fields. Stories of wealth sud-
denly gained by adventures who hrst
braved the dangers of the Chilkoot pass
and the rigor of the climate appeared in
the papers and all the classes became m
terested. Numerous mining companies
sprang into existence, sent out experts
and owned each it's own particular mlne.
Ca pitalists laid out large sums on claims
and machinery, and the working people
caught shares ranging upward from lO
cents or even lower. To do this re-
quired capital. Many who had it IN the
banks withdrew it, persons whose saw
ings would have been deposited there,
seeking an easy and quick method of
making money, bought up shares in
these mines. BY these methods a large
amount of capital was diverted from its
ordinary business channels and the con-
tinuous drain on the banks was felt in
many quarters. While the run on the
Banque Jacques Carder, caused by the
failure of the Banque Vile Mare, was
the immediate cause Of suspension. there
IS no doubt that the heavy aggregate
withdrawn caused by mining develop.
ment and speculation in Canada contrib
uted largely to this end.

Philippine Possibilities.

San Francisco, Aug. 3.-With a view to
obtaining reliable information regarding
the agricultural and other wealth pro-
ducing possibilities of the Philippines,
the Call has interviewed a large number
of the Oregon volunteers whose long stay
on the islands afforded them excellent OPP
portunit.es for observation Most of the
troops believe that the land of the Phil
ippines is we'll adapted for American ag-
riculture, with the exception Of cultiva-
tion of wheat, but they add that nearly
all of the agricultural land, and certainly
the best of it, is in the possession of the
church authorities, and would have to be
purchased by intending settlers. The SOL
diers of Oregon, almost to a man, are in
emphatic opposition, even to the sugges-
ton, of making natives Of the Philippines
citizens of the United States, although
the opinion seems to prevail that Amer
lean labor laws could advantageously be
put in operation on the islands. AS for
Americans working in the Philippines,
the soldiers declare that It is utterly out
of the question. The heat is too intense,
and the climate generally too enerVating.
The Philippines, they say, are the last
lands on earth for the poor men to seek
with purpose of improving Their condl-

Has Had Good Effect.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 3.-The official
messenger today publishes a government
communique reviewing lengthily the re-
suit of The Hague peace conference. At
ter referring to the sympathetic reception
the powers accorded the commissioners,
"the magnanimous appeal for peace" it
proceeds: And results of the conference
have fully come up to the expectation of
the government. II has been found neces-
sary for the conference to postpone a def
mite settlement Of the complicated Ques-
ton of the suspension of armaments until
fully elucidated by the different govern
ments. Nevertheless the Tightening OF
military burdens is already admitted by
unanimous resolution to be urgently de-
sirable for all nations.
ION the other hand the labors Of the
conference will doubtless exercise an in
huence in regulating the customs of war
and stopping cruelties. Various states
have agreed to use all their resources in
favor Of the maintenance of peace and
abolition Of war. 1t is now an esta blished
fact that mediation, which hitherto de-
pended upon the good win of the states
interested, can henceforth be offered by
third power on it's own initiative"
The commuElQue concludes:
"Without impatling sovereign rights OF
the individual states the results afford a
fresh basis for international peace. The
necessities for solution Of the czar's pro-
posals IS admitted by all powers, and the
march Of events will indicate the securing
the welfare of mankind, and the full at
tainment of the objects in VeW.'

Indians Gather In Force.

ST. Louis, Aug. S.-A special to the
Globe Democrat from NCgales, Ariz,
says: Two Gatling guns and detach-
ment of artillery soldiers from the City of
Mexico via El Paso have been hurried
southwark en- route to the scene Of the
marched across tine mountains from
points in the state of Chihuahua and
Durango to join the forces now there, and
other reinforcements are rushing in from
all quarters.
1t is reported that emissares have been
sent by the Yaqui leaders to ranches and
mines all over the state of Sonora where
ever men Of the tribe are at work, calling
them to arms with their compatrots al
ready in the field, and many YaquIs who
are employed in the big mining camps
and on haciendas as iaborers have disap-
peared Even in this vicinity. 500 miles
distant from the scene of hostilites. they
are in, state of d.squet, quitting their
employment and going away, and those
coming here from outside points in Ar-
zona, where there have been many Yaqui
laborers, report the same condition Of
affairs. They usually travel by night, and
nightly small squads are reported passing
through the town or along the road near
by, all going in southerly direction.
Some fears are expressed of a descent
upon the town similar to that of August,
1893, when an attacking party took pos
session of the Mexican custom house in
the early hours of the morning and were
d.slodged only after severe battle, in

No Packages For Yukon.

New York, Aug. "a special to the
Times from Washington says: Third AS
sistant Postmaster General Madden has
issued an order calling the attention Of
postmasters everywhere to the fact that
packages cannot be mailed to the Yukon
district. Letters and postal cards can be
sent to the Yukon territory, but there is
no way in which parcels Of third or
fourth class matter can be forwarded. It
seems that some postmasters have failed
to notify persons who have attempted to
send such r.a tie" ~ this rule, and people
who have tried to send clothing and other
articles to their friends in the Yukon have
had their trouble for their pains. Post
masters are instructed to decline all such
matter.

pected from a man ~ Hartman's
intellectual caliber and soured dispo-
sition. "TO establish the American
government In the slave business"
forsooth. Just az though a slave, or
any thing that partakes OF slavery in
the remotest degree, could exist UNI
der the stars and stripes. Even the
most ignorant Filipino does not be-
lieve that he would be reduced to
slavery. The quotation from the
martyred Lincoln has no bearing nor
application to the present situation.
His words were directed at human
slavery In the United States, when
the black man was treated as a brute
and had no more rights. Does any
sane man believe that this govern
ment has any other purpose In view
than the uplifting and betterment OF
the condition Of the Inhabitants of
the Philippine islands. 1t would
raise them In a decade to a position
they could not attain alone in n EN-
fury. His observations as to the
duty OF the United States shows a
narrow mind and a short-ranged
vision.
We deny the asserti.,n 1t IL the
duty OF this, the greatest Christian
nation on earth, a nation that has
reached the highest pinnacle in civili-
cation, to spread its influence every
where and engage in the uplifting of
mankind. Mr.. Hartman says:
when the United States protects
her citizens, her property, her honor,
her dignity, she has performed her
full duty Dewey could not have
sailed out of Manila harbor without
violating every obligation named In
the above; not one Mr.. Hartman
soeaks about our peculiar kind Of
government" and 'our special brand
Of liberty" Is there anything pecu.
liar about our government, which all
foreign powers are Fastening tocopy
and which IL the only true govern
ment for intelligent men? We have
%prospered amazingly under u ''spe-
ciul brand Of liberty" and it has in
spired men to noble deeds ut home
and abroad during the past year.
The brand has been an inspiration to
all save the demagogne and the dis
appointed politician who has lost his
head In contemplating his own i'm
p%ortance.
Senator Mantle shows clearly the
absurdity Of the application of that
clause of the declaration OF independ-
ence which says that all govern
ments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed" In his
reference to the American Indians,
who were driven back from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast lay the adj
vancing forces of civilization. Surely
no effort was eve made to gain
their c jnsent to form a government.
This attempt to distort the meaning
OF historical u%tterances to fit the
present situation shows to what ex-
tremity the "little Americans" will
