Senator Daniel Of Virginia followed Mr..
Seweli. He said In part:
MIR. President, this body is a miniature
of our country. In IL is represented both
the equality OF the States and the unity Of
the nation. Large and small States, rich
and poor States, popuious and thlniy set
tied States, all alike have two Senators,
and each Senator has one vote But when
We lock toward the Chair we behold an
other ideal OF the Constitution incarnate.

chosen by all the electors Of all the States,
is President OF the Senate. BY him is rep

and authority OF the United States. And

GOLD DREDGING
It Proves to Be Successful ir
 California.

Gold rrdging is proving to be d profitable orm of goHd mining in Cali fornia, = elsewhere, but eXtravagant statements are Derng made regarding the possible returns, says the Mining and Scientific Press. The truth is good enough without exageraticn. A prominent dredger operator stated that with his dredga in th5 last year he han died 320,000 cubic yards of material, which averaged 15 cents per cubic yard at a total cclJt of , cents per cubic yar.
 This last item included every detail of expense, including interest on uhe amount invested. This, in round num- bers, would mean the handling of 1000 cubic yards per day, at net profit of sl00, which is a fair average statement Of result, and in this case a truthful one. Dredging is yet an evolutionary form of mining. Its origin was in New Zealand, in 1869, where the, first dre1g- ing apparatus is described as having Consisted of "a strong iron ring. tech ni-ally known as a spoon to which was ecured an oXhide bag and a long pole. A rope was fastened to rle iron ring and secured "a q hand winch on the bank Of the river. The bucket and pole were taken out and dropped into the stream by m=ans of d boat, the bucket being pressed by the pole as deep as possible into the wash in the hed of the river" The bucket was th5n hauled ashore by the winch and the contents put through a California era de. The progress from such a prim- itive device to the S45OOO gold drzdger cf 1900, operated by electricity, illus uates mining and scientific advance.

ENTIRE TRIP AN OVATION.
Roosevelt's Second Day
in New York.
Travelled l5s Miles and Made "A
Speeches.
Gov. Took Questioning
in Better Nature.
Answered By Argument Rather
Than Abuse.

Norwich, N. Y, October 23.-Gov.
Roosevelt finished the second day of his
New York state campaign in this place
tonight, speaking to great audience of
people. This is the home of the Repub
Ilcan leader OF the assembly, lothian p.
Aids, and in addition to Gov. Roosevelt
there were several other speakers. The
Vice Presidential candidate travelled 159
miles today and made IA speeches, yet he
finished his days work In splendid shape,
his voice at the night meetings being
very clear. The day was not so prolific
of friction as was the trst day, the Gov
ernor taking the questioning in better
1ature and answering them With argu-
ments instead Of abuse. His principal
answer to those who cried out for Bryan
cheers was ''WhyY' and this query seemed
in most cases to phase the auditor so that
there was no need of argument, but when
there was, he furnished it in more poll
tic terms than yesterday. The entire
"trip was an ovation, the crowds in
comparison to The population of the places
being especially large The three largest
places stopped at today were Stamford,
where he spoke in a hall, Oneonta,
where he addressed a large out OF town
meeting that would have tested the ca
pacity OF two halls and Norwich tonight.

Democratic Chairman Says He Has

Chicago, October Ex-senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, mads the following statement
today:
''The instructions given to the COM
missioners on the part of the United
States to negotiate the treaty with Spain
in Paris In 1898 have never, SO far as l
know, beensmade public. The President,
in his letter OF acceptance quoted part
of these as I understand, secret instruc-
tions. / addressed him in a notea Octo-
Der 5, calling his attention to this fact
and I requested that inasmuch as the
part of the instructions which he con-
sidered favorable to the position of his
political party was so used by him, the
remainder should be made public. Con-
ceivIng 1T impossible that the President
OF the United States would use part of
a secret document for the advancement
of his personal fortunes and the interests
of his own political party and at the
same time refuse to the public the re-
mainder of this document, [ expected to
receive a prompt answer from the PTesi-
dent. have now waited for more than
two weeks and have not had the honor
of an acknowledgement even of the receipt
of my note"

THE PSYCHE In NEW YORK.

New York, October 20 OF the visit to
this port yesterday OF the British third
class cruiser Psyche which ran in and
then ran out again without saIuting,
having come to secure an absconding
paymaster, Sir Percy Sanderson, the
British consul general, said today:
''The Psyche ran in merely on a mat
ter of business. 1 have received no official
communication that the Psyche did not
salute Goyernor's island when she passed.
1t is not true that Major Myer of Gov
ernor's island, who was prepared to re-
spond to the expected salute, has made
any complaint 1t frequently happens
as matter OF naval regulation, that
man Of war of a small number of guns
need not fire an International salute.
Capt. Perry of the Psyche called at the
consulate yesterday, but he was not in
uniform and his visit could hardly be
called an official one. 1 am sure he did
not visit the French warships or the
Brooklyn navy yard, as he was here
only six hours.

DAY TO SPEECH MAKING.
Only One Meeting Was Not Marred by
Rain.

Baltimore, October 23.-Hon. William
J. Bryan. devoted the entire day to
speeohmaking in Maryland, speaking in
succession at Rockville, Frederick,
Bruceville, Union Bridge, New Windsor,
Westminster, Glyndon and in this city
this evening.
The Rockville meeting was the only
one Of the day that was not marred by
rain. On account of the downpour most
of the meetings were cut short, but the
crowds in each case remained until MIR.
Bryan had concluded his remarks.
ssThe greeting extended to Mr.. Bryan
on his arrival here this evening and dur
ing the meeting held inside and outside
OF Music hall was limited in number only
by the capacity of the places in which the
meeting were held and in enthusiasm
only by the ability of the immense
crowds to give expression to it 1t was
raining steadily when the special train
bearing the Democratic Presidential can
didate pulled into Union station, an
hour late, but this did not prevent the
assemblage of a crowd of fully 10, 0O1
people about the depot. A parade was
formed and Mr.. Bryan drove at its head
to the hotel Rennert, where he dined with
several Democratic leaders, including
former u. S. Senator Arthur p. German,
Gov. John Waller Smith and Mayor
Hayes of this CITY.
Mr.. Bryan's first speech was made on
the platform erected outside Music hall
and the site surrounding thesstand was
crowded as far back as Mr.. Bryan s
voice could positively be heard, He was
introduced by Mayor Hayes. Mr.. Bryan
went over the issues of the campaign.
Those opposed to private monopolies, a
large standing army, colonial policy
&dmin1steredsb England, should, he said,
vote the Democratic ticket He then
took up the Philippine ques ton until
he closed and the Music hall meeting
commenced.

MEIKLEJOHN'S AD-
VENTURE.

E.Omaha, Neb., October 23.-Assistant
Secretary of War Meiklejohn narrowly
escaped death after most thrilling ex-
perience Saturday afternoon. He spoke
at Stromsberg, Polk county, IA miles
northwest, in a buggy with driver.
He had gone but a third of the distance
when a cIoud-burst covered the whole
alley. Culverts and bridges were
washed away and 1t became so dark it
was impossible to see the horse. 10 re-
main where they were seemed certain
death. They had only three matches and
two of these were blown out in an in
stant by the fury OF the gale. Meikle-
john had a shirt in his grip and bot.
tie of cosmoIine. He wound the shirt
around the butt OF the whip and smeared
the petroleum over 1t. With his remain
ing match he fired the torch and the
light disclosed a torrent of water in front.
Fifty feet further and they would have
gone over into deep gully and been
carried out to the river.
Slowly the two men picked their way
back to the roadway and with the occa-
siOnal flashes of lightning and the aid of
a torch, managed to get into Clark S
