MINT DIRECTORS REPORT.
The Gold Product In the United states for
1899 Was e1t,O53. 40O-of Silver,
e32,858, 100.

Washington, Dec. l5.--The report
of the director of the mint on the pro-
duction of gold and silver in the
United States during the calendar
year 1899 shows only slight variation
from the approximate figures given
out early in the present year. The
final figures are S7l,053,4OO for gold
and $50 ,s5S,7OO for silver at its average
commercial value during the year.
The gold product was the greatest
in the history of the country, exceed
ing that of 1898 by $500, 400, and
greater by $6,O53,4OO than the esti-
mated product of 1853, the record
year in the working of the Ca'fornia
placcrs. The principal gains in 1890
over 1898 were in Alaska, S2,034,7OO,
due to the Cape Nome district; Colo
RADIO, $2,1SLiO0, and Utah, $l,l6j,i 400.
The silver product of the United
Stoes in 1880 was slightly greater
than in lS3S, being jl,7Gi,00O ounces,

ace price for silver during the year

THE JURY DISCHARGED.


Eldorado, Kan, Dec. 1j,-The jury
in the Jessie Morrison murder case
was discharged shortly before noon
yesterday, after spending three and
onc-half days in frutless dellberation,
On the final ballot and on most OF
those preceding, the jury stood nine
for acquittal to three for conviction.
The prisoner, Jessie Morrison, wept
when Judge iShinn discharged the
jury, for she had hoped for aequittal
until the last. TO her family and her
attorneys, however, the result is graft
flying. 1t is the more so because q
verdict of first degree murder was
not for moment considered by the
jury. Those who voted for convic-
ton were for manslaughter in the
fourth degree, which would mean i'm
prisonment of from six months in the
county Jail to two years In the peni'
| tertiary.

pERISHED IN A FIRE.


Dun,,irk, y. u, Dec. lj.-From the
smoldering ruins OF the Fredopia
state normal and training school,
which was destroyed by fire at six
o'clock yesterday morning, one
charred body has been recovered. A
revision of the list of missing makes
it certain that seven persons per-
ished in the fire, which also entailed
property loss of $aoO,OoO. There were
Is young women students IN the
buildings, of whom six persisted. The
other victim was the aged ianitor.
The young women occupied rooms
on the third floor of the building IN
company with a matron, and so other
young women who succeeded in es-
Gaping by the fire escapes. The body
which was recovered from the ruins
is supposed to be that of Miss Storms.
1t was burned beyond recognition.
TO account for the origin of the
fire puzzles the local board OF man
ayers, as there was no fire in the
building, the heat being piped from q
boiler two blocks away. The fire
started in the private room of JAM
ltor Morris and was discovered by
Charles Gibbs, assistant janitor, who
notified ,lanitor Morris and then ran
to the fire alarm station, a block
away. Janitor Morris evidently lost
his life while tire-hghting. Miss liz
zell was at the head of the fire 20
cape and turned back into the burn
ing building to save = diamond ring
thus losing her life. The others who
persisted sutfocated without being
able to find the fire escapes.

New York, Dec. 15.-Bradstreets
saws; Favorable conditions rule gen.
orally in all lines Of seasonable trade
Holiday preparations are, OF course
dominant in retail business and, where
this has hitherto Jagged, it has oeeh
stimulated by more seasonaoie
weather. The government cotton e.
innate Of 100000 bales was larger
than expected by the trade, which
looked for about s,750,000 bales. Inc
feeling is that If the yield does not
exceed 100000 bales consumption,
which last year was 100000 bales OF
American, must either be heavily cur
tailed or stocks will be reduced TO
the vanishing point. The close OF
the week finds future quotations one
eighth cent lower and spots one-quar-
ter cent off.
While business in iron and steel as
whole is quieter than OF late there
is no apparent diminution in strength,
and actual transactions in rails and
plates compare well with the best
recorded. Pig iron is dull except foI
