So far as respects domestic move
ments, the money market is working
towards an easier condition, and bank
ers' Western correspondents report
that their money wants have for the
most part been satisfied, while others
report probable early turn of ex-
change in favor of New York So far
as respects foreign factors affecting
this market the prospect is uncertain
enough to keep the local banks still
cautious in respec to time loans. Lon
don appears bent upon holding its
control of the yellow metal well in
hand; and, with exchange here so near
the gold exporting point, it might be
no difficult matter for the Bank of
England to get few millions from us.
Such an effect, however, would come
through manipulation rather than as
the natural outcome of international
balances. The trade balance is now
even more in our favor than it was a
year ago. For the three months July,
August and September, the exports of
merchandise, gold and silver combined
were 107 millions in excess of the like
imports, while for the same quarter in
1898 the surplus of exports was only
n millions. This fact does not imply
that we are exposed to any early ship
ment Of gold; it rather indicates the
opposite. But it is not easy to say
what is impossible under the exlgen-
cles of great national bank.

ROAMING A BRITISH FLEET.


 An amusing story is told of the hoax ing of a British fleet by "a stupid Irish man" during the recent naval manoeu- vres. It appears that during an attack on Bere Island by some of the vessels of the "B" Fleet the officer at the Hut received instructions from the Castle town coastguard station to gather up all telegrams and secret plans, send a man away with the same to hide in a cave, and on no account to let them fall into the enemy's hands. With the remainder of his crew he was then to show fight until the last In the mean time an attacking force of eighteen men and an officer had been landed, which marched to the Hut and secured it's surrender. All search for the secret papers, however, proved useless and the men at the Hut maintained pro- found silence to all interrogations. During the afternoon one of the men of the Castletown Coastguard station had been sent to Bere Island with the pay of the men. Upon arrival there he proceeded at once to the Hut (having previously disguised himselD and found himself surrounded by the invaders, who wanted to know his business. He posed as an old naval pensioner, stating that he was native, and was trying, with the help of his small pension, to make a living on the island by cutting and selling turf. He had provided himself with a turf-cutting spade ill order to give color to his story.
 The sailors of the invading party were very sympathetic, and advised him to go to England, where he would be sure of getting work in one Of the Royal dockyards. After getting the in vaders into a good humor he irnmedi- ately went In search of the man with the secret documents in his possession. With the aid of some of the islanders he found the man he was in search of, took from him all the documents, which he hid in two baskets of turf, and returned to the Hut. This time the sub-lieutenant in charge of the invaders took him in hand and closely ques- tioned him with view to obtain some reliable information regarding the de- fenders but all to no purpose. At last the sub-lieutenant dismissed the man with the remark that he was the most stupid Irishman that he had ever met. Little did the officer imagine that the supposed stupid Irishman was the very man they wanted, as at the time he had in his, possession al, the documents the invaders were searching for

AN ARTIFICIAL SILVER MINE.
How the Treasury Department Checks
 the Waste at the Mnts

How the Treasury Department Check!
 the Waste at the Minus.
 In one corner of the melting room al
 the New Orleans Mint is large iror
 tank in which the newly cast silver bars
 are dropped, hissing, to cool off At the
 end of hard days wark the surface of
 the water shows faint rainbow hued scum, like the metallic lustre of stag
 nant pools, seeen near dyehouse. It | comes in part from microscopic flakes of silver that have scaled off in the cool ing, The water, when changed, runs l down a pipe that terminates in the bottom of cistern, which contains a | layer of mud couple of feet deep. As the water seeps up through, the mud acts as filter and catches the particles of precious metal, so in time 1t becomes an artificial silver mine. Once every quarter the stuff is scooped out and pas sed through reduction process. The result is a silver brick, worth maybe, $50.
 When 1t comes to money making Uncle sam can beat the world for stingi- ness, The artificial silver mine in the yard of the old mint premises is only one of his numerous schemes for check ing waste. When the casters raise their glowing ladies from the melting pots shower of sparks fly from the molten surface. They are mostly in- candescent particles of carbon, but among them are pin points of silver, almost gaseous. Some fall among the 1aI;,, and when the fire boxes are raked out at night the contents are scrupulously preserved. Down below, in the base ment, is great revolving crusher that grnds the debris into fine powder and when enough accumulates it is sold by sample to a Northern shelter and treat ed like ordinary ore. Nor is this all Every evening the floor of the melting room is swept far more carefully than ever ladyis parlor, and the sweepings are preserved along with the ashes Once in three months or so the soot ia scraped out of all the flues and chim- neys, and finds it's way to the same receptacle. From the ashes, clnkers sweepings and soot of the New-Orleans mint Uncle Sam derives a larger income than the average bank president. The crucibles used in melting are good for about three charges; then they are wheeled down to the basement crush ed, and share the fate of the clinkers, The pores of their earthern sides are full of virgin silver and the gritty brown powder into which they are ground yields an average of $20) a ton A worn out crucible is really worth more than a new one.-New- Orleans Times Democrat.

Tho President on E1panslon.

The most convincing and logical argu-
ment that has yet been made justify
ing expansion was made by President
Mckinley at Minneapolis on Thursday.
He cited the history OF the Louisiana
and Alaskan purchases, and quoted
able Statesmen of those days as pre-
dieting the destruction of the republic
in consequence.
ut has been century OF expansion"
said the President. 1.-The first acquisl-
ton was the Louisiana purchase, in
1903, embracing nearly million square
miles. That purchase now includes
thirteen of our greatest states and two
territories. One senator from New
England (and that is where the oppo-
sitlon exists now) said 1t would mean
the subversIon of our empire. There
were no railroads and telegraph then,
and the territory and its wealth was
unknown; 1t was inhabited by savages
and everybody thought it would remain
SO for centuries. 1t was regarded as
'malarlal swamp. A Delaware sem
ator declared: 4 believe 1t will be the
greatest curse that could befall u.s. A
Virginia statesman said: I fear the
effect OF our vast empire The word
Imperialism. as now, was the express
sion used"
The next cession. embracing 522,416
square miles, included California, Ne
vada, Utah and parts of Colorado and
Wyoming, and the territories of Arl-
iona and New Mexico, and again "im-
perlallsm" was heard. In 1861 another
half-milllon square miles were pur-
chased. Alaska is the richest gold
field in the world. One Congressman,
Massachusetts man. declared: III we
are to pay for Russla's friendship this
amount 1 desire to give her the $1,000. 900
and let her keep Alaska"
I'm the last year." said the President,
I'VE have added to the territory Of the
United States the territory of the Ha-
waiian Islands, one Of the gems Of the
ocean, containing 6.72s square miles;
Guam, containing fifty square miles.
and Philippine archipelago. embracing
approximately $4,000 square miles
This acquisition is about one-sixth the
size of the original thirteen states. 1t
is larger than the area of New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North
and South Carolina and the District Of
Columbia. 1t exceeds in area all the
New England states. 1t is almost as
large as Washington and Oregon COM
blned, greater than Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois united; three and one-half
times as large as New York, and three
and one-half times as large as Ohio.
