TILE RLACK ROSE.

The fashionable flower par excellence
in St. Petersburg is the black rose. This
flower, which is jet black in color, is the
result of ten years toll and thought by
a florist named Fetisof. This man has
produced some remarkable effects in
the garden. His latest success with
the black rose has stirred up quite a
sensation among the lovers Of flowers
in Russia. Some fine specimens have
been sent to the car by Fetisoff, n a
beautiful collection of them has been
sent to London.

made with automobiles with formidable

Money Is Being Shipped to South
Snd West.
Washington. Sept. 24.-The pressure
for currency for moving the crops is
beginning to be felt. The issues of
gold certificates by the treasury at va
rious points in the south and west. in
exchange for deposits Of gold in the
New York sub-treasury by banks on
behalf of their country correspondents,
are already $1,000 0r 1Ore than at the
same time last yea he exchanges
have reached 81. 495. 06O. Which all but
$500, coo has been in September. New
Orleans has taken $3,375. 600 of the gold
certificates. St. Louis S750.000 and Chi
go $500 900. These are not the only
exchanges being made in New York
and Washington in order to get cur
rency into the country. A shipment of
500. GEO in small silver certificates has
just been made to st. Louis in return
for an equal amount of gold coin for
the New York SuD-treasury.
The policy of shipping notes from
Washington to interior points in return
for gold at New York was adopted
when the gold reserve was low, because
the banks profited by the export rate
on currency in one direction and gen.
orally directed their New York agents
TO GepOrt the gold.

CABINET OFFICER IN THE CITY
THOS. RYAN VISITS SALT LAKE
ON WAY TO WASHINGTON.
Is First Assistant Secretary of the
Interior, and Had Been on Trip
to Yellowstone Park.

Thomas Ryan, first assistant secre-
tary of the interior, was in Salt Lake
yesterday on his way home to the east
from a visit to the Yellowstone park.
This was an official visit, Mr.. Ryan
having gone up to investigate in his
official capacity the work being done in
the great national park
Mr.. Ryan's stay IN Salt Lake was
very brief, and for the most part was
spent in taking III the sights of the
city He had ridden in a wagon all
the way out of the park to Cinnabar,
Wyo., and was eleven days on the road.
He left for the east on the Rio Grande
at o'clock in the afternoon. Speaking
of his experiences in the park. Mr.
Ryan said, among other things:
1t is fourteen years now since I first
want to the Yellowstone park On That
occasion l accompanied a congressional
committee sent out to investigate con-
ditions. On this last trip found very
great improvements on all sides Most
of the recent appropriations made by
congress have been for the building of
roads, and 1 found that the money had
been very well expended It is now a
comparatively easy matter to go any
where in the park. The number of Wis
itors is increasing annually, and, of
course, visitors Will continue to in
crease as the park becomes more ac-
cessible to the outside world Game is
very abundant, thanks to the stringent
enforcement of the laws and the good
care taken of the preserves by the
keepers
Mr.. Ryan would not discuss politics.
as he said he had been cut off almost
past month, and had not kept in touch
with passing events

SMALL CURRENCY IS SCARCE
DEMAND FOR 81, So AND SIS
BILLS UNUSUALLY LARGE.
Bankers Are Having Hard Work to
Secure the Necessary Supply
Treasury to the Rescue.

New York, Sept 24-Frank A. Van
derlip, assistant secretary of the treas
ury, conferred with bankers in this
city today with reference to supplying
the extraordinary demand for small
currency. While what is known as
"hand-tO-hand'' money is rather scarce
at this season, the supply of 81, 81 and
s. bills is now wholly inadequate. The
sub-treasury has great piles of soiled
or 1nutilated currency turned in for re-
demptiOn today
After comforting with the banks, Mr..
Vanderlip said that he had ordered
100000 in $50 gold certificates to be
shipped to New York from Washing
ton at once. That, he thought, would
relieve the situation and supply the
banks with a class of money that they
did not have. He adds that the next
step will be TO supply small denomina-
tons at the Sub-treasury.
Banks were preparing today for
heavy October disbursements. One of
the largest institutions, having hun
dreds of town accounts, reported a great
mass of coupons on hand for cOIlec-
ton. Banks are still using quantities
of bank notes for interior currency de-
mands. One large bank today had very
few of its own notes on hand. and re-
ported little difficulty in keeping out
what extra circulation Il had ordered
at the time that the new currency law
made possible greater expansion.

NOT Affected BY THE STRIKE
LOCAL COAL DEALERS TALK OF
THE SITUATION.
Do Not Believe They Will Be Called
Upon to Supply Any of the East
ern States.

In the opinion of the local coal dealers
the great strike now on in the anthracite
coal fields of Pennsylvania will have no
effect whatever on the local situation,
either as to the price of coal or the supply
for local consumption. There are many
others, though, not in the coal business,
who look to see the strike taken as an
excuse for the increasing of prices of coal
even this far away from the scene of the
disturbance. Discussing the matter yes
terday the Bamberger Coal company said
The strike in the east will have no eff
feet out here, unless 1t extends to the
bituninous coal fields of the middle west.
In that case there would be a demand on
the coal mines of Wyoming and Utah that
would be hard to meet. Coal from Wyom-
ing is now shipped as far east as Omaha,
but 1T does not come into competition with
the anthracite coal from Pennsylvania,
and for that reason the strike In the east
Will not effect US. 1t is a strange thing
that the eastern dealers are adding 81 to
the price of the coal already mined and
paid for. This can be accounted for only
by the cupidity of the dealers
The Citizens Coal company said: 1.-The
strike will have no effect at all here. The
only anthracite coal that comes into Utah
comes from Colorado, and it will not be
affected by the strike in the far east We
look for no coal famine here: there Is
plenty of coal now, but no one can tell as
to the prices. There is temporary short
many cars in shipping cattle and grain /;
but this is not serious and is only tenn
porary-"
The Pleasant Valley Coal company tells
substantially the same story. D. J. Sharp
said in speaking Of the great strike In the
east; ut will not effect us here at all
unless there should be a sympathetic
strike in the bituminous coal fields In
that event of course there might be a
draft upon US to supply points farther
east than we now reach l don't antici-
pate anything Of this kind. and I see no
reason why we cannot meet all the de-
mandS made upon us this winter. Our
company has had plenty of coal up 10 this
time, and have a good supply now on
hand"
1t would seem from the statements given
above from men well informed as to the
local situation and from much other in
formation that the only interest that will
be taken here in the strike in the east
will be from sympathy for the suffering
miners unless, as many think, the pres
ent will be considered an opportune time
by the local dealers to raise the price of
coal in this market.

asked that the appointments of How

ana II also gave notice that an ap-
pOlntment would be made later to fill
the vacancy that will be created on
oct l by the resignation of Thomas F.
Thomas, jr., day jailer.
Instead of confirming the apDoint-
ments the commissioners deferred ac-
ton till next Monday, evidently to con-
sicer whether the sheriff's brother-in-
law and his nephew, who will reach
the age of majority in about a month,
should be officially recognized.
Land and Water Commissioner West
erfeld petitioned the board to remit a
percentage of the taxes assessed by the
county against the land UP City Creek
canyon which the municipality years
ago contracted to buy from the Union
Pacific Railroad company, paying in
yearly installments. The railroad is
charged for back taxes on 13, 704 acres
assessed at $20.511, the taxes being
S543.96, but the city in its contract of
purchase is obligated to pay the taxes,
and Commissioner WesterfieId asks
that the taxes be RENTED on such part
OF the value as represents only the
city's equity in the land. The petition
was referred to the county attorney.
Commissioner Westerfield also re-
quested that the county take charge
of at its expense the maintenance OF
bridges over the Jordan and Salt Lake
canal outside the city limits. the same
as is done with reference &c other ca
nails in the county. The petition was
referred to the committee on roads and
bridges.

listed in his town and the charge that
certain persons there persist in defying

clan Anderson.
1t was ordered that the contractors
for road sprinkling be notified to cease
work for the season.
