all of the equipments of the last expedition

is. of course apparent that the horses and
most of the equipment of the 9th Cavalry
are still at sea. The 9th Infantry and the
two battalions OF the 14th Infantry, to-

of the United States actually available on

Doubt Gives Way to Certain


Doubt has now given way to a feeling of
the gallant marines who managed to reach
the Chinese capital just in the nick of
time are still alive and likely to remain
so until they are released from their state
of siege. The officials here feel certain that
the attack by the Chinese on the Legations
will not be renewed. They are convinced
that the counses of the viceroys in the
great southern and central provinces and
the advice of Ii Hung Chang have had eff
feet, and that whoever Is in power in Pekin
whether emperor, empress, Ching, Tuan or
Tung, now have been made to see the neceS-
sity for the preservation of the legations
The last previous message which came
from Minister Conger was that which was
obtained through the intermediary of Mr.
WI, and was supposed to be dated the 18th
ultimo before which time nothing had come
since June II. almost two months.
The Advance on Pekin.
1t is expected now that all the energies
of the government, as well as that of the
other nations, will be concentrated for the
advance on Pekin. Several Of the reports
which have come from China seem to indf-
cate that this will occur very soon some
of the dispatches placing the date as early
as yesterday. The officials here, however,
do not look for SO early advance if
the allied commanders adhere to their oripi
nal estimate of $4,000 men as necessary for
the campaign, as the latest reports received
here do not show half that number on the
ground.
The proportion of men Of the 9th Infan-
try reported by Colonel Daggett as sick is
considered an alarming and unfortunate
feature of the situation. Officials are un-
able to account for it, but agree that it
may delay any immediate movement for
ward. The delays in unloading the trans
ports also are discouragtn& and vexatious.

PROSPERITY AS IT'S.

We are enjoying "accidentaP' pros
perity. ss a contemporary calls it. The
reaction from that panic which began
under Harrison's administration in 1882
and reached its climax in 1S93-that
London-India goldbug panic-was slow
in coming. but money ug boarded
went begging for some to do at
last. The war with Spain millions
into circulation as = matter OF course.
Famines abroad created an Unsuitable
demand for our produce. Wars and
warlike preparations on other CONT
nents have given US a market for al
most everything we raise or make to
sell. Free trade treaties with foreign
countries have enabled US to take ad-
vantages OF opportunities long sought
by American producers and manufac-
turers.
But "there are spots upon the sun &c
orr republic" nevertheless. The money
which has been brought from Klondike.
which has been loosened by the lenders.
which has been circulated through the
bloody channels of war, is being swiftly

STILL MAKING EXCUSES.

base betrayal Of the silver cause for al

comes out at last with the most absurd
Of all its pretexts.

the principle Of bimetallism any longer
because Dubois and Cannon hadn't been
favored with Democratic nominations.
But when those gentlemen declared that
they were not after nominations but de-
sired the success OF the Democratic
party the organ had to change its tune.
Then it refused 10 support the prin-
riple of oiTnetallism because it be-
ieved the issue could not win and it
preferred to be on the winning side.

sening and weakening ever since the

DOLLARS FROM ABROAD.

The United States sold more than $780,
000Oo0000 worth of products more than
II purchased during the present admins
tration, and the balance due Uncle Sam
has had to be paid in 100-cent dollars, OF
their equivalent. There has been no A.
cent financiering.-Enq
A hundred billion dollars in our favor!
Quite a sum- But let us see how il
tallies with treasury statistics.
McKinley's administration began
March 4, 1897. The total exports of the
country during the balance of that year
amounted to 81, O79, So, 296. For the next
twelve months during 1898. the agri-
cultural, manufacturing mining, forest,
fishery and miscellaneous exports of
the United States were 1928. 55S,14O. In
the next year, 1899, they were 81, 252,
1887. In the last two months they
have reached about S90,0OO,O00, making
a grand total of 1856, 900 in round
numbers. representing not the differ
ence between our imports and exports
but the total value of our exports since
McKinley's advent.
The Enquirer only missed it about
PJa sUOVfVuusuvV CNCll NO1niAll6 Vic hAAyAS
instead of the balance OF trade.
There is another point to consider in
the Enquirers wild statement. 1t is
the average goldbug argument. IT
says that the United States found no
Ascent financiering although we had
dealings with Mexico and other free
silver countries to the extent of many
millions of dollars
The United States received 100-cent
dollars from her foreign customers,
which proves conclusively to 5ie mind
of the Enquirer that silver has no right
to recognition in this country. AS a
matter Of fact the United States is just
as glad to deal with free silver Mexico
as she is to deal with gold standard
Portugal; and the dollar obtained from
the one is as good as that obtained
from the other; while. if credit is to be
extended, that of Mexico is 100 per cent
better than the credit of Portugal, or
Italy, or Spain, or Turkey-all gold
standard countries.
But what has set Utah Republicans
to boasting Of the 100-cent dollars the
United States invariably receives from
foreigners? What bearing has that on
our own monetary system? Hasn't
every dollar ever issued by the United
States government during the last 100
years been worth 100 cents on the dol
lar. except when the Republican party
deprecated greenbacks under Grant in
the interest of the money brokers and
demonetized silver in 1878 in the inter-
est of the London bankers?
Who has sought to contract the cur
rency. TO destroy one-half the peoples
money, to make legal tender dollars
worth less than 100 cents? Who has
done this but the Republican party?
Who has appreciated gold-the
money Of the usurers, the commodity
of the money trust-and tried to create
for its holders a tyrannical monopoly
of cur circulating medium by depreciat-
ing all other forms of currency? Read
the currency bills with which this ad-
ministration is identified, examine the
law which has just been enacted and
the aim, the work, the purpose, the
inwardness of the Republican party and
the plutocrats who run it stand re-
vealed.

meath a wealth Of green interviewer
with pure white carnations. The din
ing room decorations were of red and

for twenty and was beautified with
bright red carnations, while overhead
hung streamers of broad red ribbons
twined with ferns and flowers.
