The Republican party passed the
gold standard bill in the House, and
then came almost money panic in
Wall street in New York and Secretary
Gage had to come to the rescue with
government money. A furry took
place in Boston and two national banks
suspended, and it looked as if there
was going to be crash. Great is the
gold standard. Spectators seem to
have the government by the throat.
Attorney. General Nash of Missis-
sippi, has filed bill of injunction with

The Treasury Sur
plus In The
United States.

1t must seem curious to nations
which, even in times of long cent.
inued peace, have great difficulty in
raising sufficient means to meet ex-
penditures, to learn that the United
States, which has so lately emerged
from a war with European power,
and is still engaged in expensive
hostilities in the Philippines should
find its Treasury in such plethOric
state, that there is grave financial
danger arising from the vast national
accumulati0ns. And yet such seems
to be the case, and to such an ex.
tent that ways and means Of redu-
cling this unwieldy surplus have be-
come matters of serious ana almost
anxious consideration on the part Of
President Mckinley and his Cabi-
net.
Money is pouring into the Treas.
ure frOm the sO-called war taxes at
such rate that the Secretary Of
the Treasury has for some time been
considering advising the President
to send a message to Congress re.
commencing the abolishing, OF some
of the taGes leaving those which are
least Objectionable and least burden
some on the people.
Not only is the collection of large
amounts of taxes in excess of the
Government an injustifable and
uncalled for addition to the burdens
of the people, but the locking up o.
vast sums of money in the Nations
Treasury, not needed for national
expenses, locks up funds which
could he more protitably used in the
avenues Of commerce, trade and
manufacture.
Without doubt a solution of this
question will soon he reached and
the administration will propose some
feasible way of relieYig the cOnges-
ton without at the same time too
seriously disturbing present condi.
tiOns.

Count Won Bulow
And the German
Navy Bill.

The tsHerald's" European edition
publishes the following from its co.
rrespont at Berliu in regard to the
impression which the confidential
communication Of the representati-
YES Of the German government have
made on the Budget Committee on
the Navy bill, Deputy who is not
exactly a friend of the measure de
clares in the Tagliche Rnndschau
that the prospects of the bill have
greatly improved.
The organ of the national liberals
gives expression to the same opinion,
and says -
"BetweeH the four walls of the
committee room, and knowing well
that confidential communications to
the Reichstag are always kept secret
by all parties, the Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs and his colleague
of the Ministry of Marine were able
TO express their views with absolute
frankness.-
"Count Bulow wentat great lengt
into Germany's relations with var
ious Powers, while Admiral Tlrpitz
gave details as to the relative naval
strength of the various States. The
impression made by these statesmen
on the representatives of all parties
was, we are informed, very deep
one. 1t cannot any longer be denied
that the strengthening of the fleet ia
absolutely necessary in the Interests
of the continuation of Germany's
pacific foreign policy"

Cost OF The War In
The Philippines.

A good deal of interest has been
shown in Congress and out of it and
finally the War Department gave
out n statement that the war in the
Philippines for the last eighteen
months had cost $4S, 900, 900.
This was clearly an understate.
ment Oflarge proportions, and Mr..
Hull, Chairman of the House Mil.
itary Committee, now admits that
the Secretary'S estimate did not inc
lude the cost Of equipment, prelimi.
nary preparation and transportation.
The cost of the Philippine war to
the end Of this fiscal year will be
$165, ,5O3,OOO. The pending Army
Appropriation bill for 1901 carries
S12O, 100000, about S1Oe,OOO,O 900
Of which is to be charged to the war.
Mr.. Hull further admits that the
annual cost of military operations ID
about 81 900 . man. This makes
the cost Of more military operations
in the Philippines between SO, ,OOO,-
600 aud $40, 100000 year. Count

discovered, cannot he brought away

The Delagoa Bay
Award.

As cabled to the BoLETIN MER'
CANTIL at the time, the Tribunal Of
Arbitration which met at Berns,
Switzerland, to consider the claims
of American and British citizens
arising out Of the action of the POr'
tugusse Government in seiEing the
DelagOa Bay Railroad, adjudged
that Portugal shall pay the sum o.
SS.O62, 300.
The award is in six clauses. The
first, the most important, the Others
being merely explanatory, is as 70.
llows:
a. - The Portuguese govern
ment, as the defending party, il
condemned to pay to the government
of the United States and to Great
Britain, the claimants, altogether,
in addition to the e28, 900 paid on
account in 1890, the sum Of 1884
OOOf, in legal Swiss money, with
simple interest on this sum at the
rate of five per cent per aInum from
june %, 1889, up to the date Of
payment Of said sum.
There is great indignation and
surprise expressed by American and
British claimants at the inadequacy
Of the award, and with some reason.
Portugal had granted the conces,
sion to British and American capi.
taIists to build the Delagoa Bay
Railroad. When nearly completed
the Portuguese Government arbita-
rily, aud without a shadow Of excuse
seized the railroad.
Its value at the time Ol seizure
has been yariously estimated at
from $50, ,OO0, 900; so that this award
comes as crushing disappointment
to those investors who had hoped
to be at least reimbursed for the
property seized, even without regard
to their just claim to exemplary da-

bore good indications Of ofcarying gold.
AT one place Capt. Pardie and SON 9
other officers washed double
handful Of gravel and in it found
five fakes Of gold.
1t is impossible for one to unders-
tand how gold could erist here for
hundreds Of years with the country
| in the hands Of the Spaniards without
| its being discovered, unless he knows
the conditions which prevail. The
mountains are wild and without
roads. Their only inhabitants are
the Negritos, Igorrotes, Gaddenea
and other saVages. The more pc.
aceful parts of the islands have
always had their thieves and bri.
gands, SO that mining has been ex-
tremely dangerous. Such geld as
has been discovered has also been
Kept secret for fear Of robbery.
From The American, enc of the
daily papers of Manila, 1 give an
extract from a report of a corrcspon-
dent who has just returned from the
Zimbales region. Said he: 81 saw
a long rosary Of gold the smallest Of
which was as big as pea. strung
ona silk cord. Its owner had pur.
chased the nuggets of Negrito,
but lie could not learn where they
had come from.n
There are mines in Luzon which
have produced considerable gold,
The Spanish Government kept re-
cords of their operations, and for
long time certain percentage Of
the gold went to the King. Ac.
cording 10 the records, the mines al
Mambule once produced weekly as
nuch as 1000 ounces. This, at the
rate of 500 an ounce, would be
$4,000 worth of gold per net k
These mines were worked by the
Indians before the Spaniards came,
and later ON by the Spaniards and
by an English syndicate
l understand the English could
not get the natives to cooperate
| with them and that their mining Wal
unsuccessful. It is said that none
OF the attempts by foreigners al
mining in the Philippines have paid
Foreman, who is one of the best
authorities, estimates that 81 $780,.
600 have been spent in vain exper
iments.
That there is gold, however, there
is no doubt. When the Spanisrdl

This action is due chiefly to the fall

railroads in building and repairing, and
at the present rate OF timber depletion,
