i EXPLOITATION OF GOLD.

Officials Say the Treasury Can Supply All
y, = - That Is Needed.
I WASHINGTON, May 4.The reported
engagement of gold at New York for
export is not disturbing the treasury
officials. Secretary Gage said that gold
exports at this season of the year were
quite natural He had no idea of the
amount that might be shipped, but was
confident the total would not reach the
sum the treasury could spare without
the least difficulty. At present the free
gold in the treasury vaults amounts to
about s52, 400, 900. This could all be
taken before the $3.50, ,OoO, 900 reserve
fund would be disturbed. The secre-
tary did not think the exports would
reach that amount or even approximate
it. The shipment of gold at this time
was easily accounted for. Money was
being loaned in New York as low as
3 1-2 per cent, while in London it was
worth per cent.

up the resolution declaring that w. a..

then, in accordance with Mr.. Hoar's
further suggestion, postponed further

reached there was a spirited controversy
over some remarks made by Mr.. Chan

exception to the fact that MIR. Chandler
had said that he had heard it stated
that there was a purpose to delay the
consideration Of the resolution in order
to prevent the governor of Montana
making an appointment of a senator to
succeed MIR. Clark in case the seat now
occupied by him should be declared
vacant. 4s Il .s.<

Attends the s.Dollar Dinner" of the Mo-
hawk Club at Detroit.
DETROIT, Mich, May 4.-The old
Larned street Auditorium was the scene
of a banquet which far eclipsed in point
of numbers present any similar event
hitherto held in Michigan. The 1900
plates laid in preparation for the fourth
annual banquet or ssdollar dinner" Of
the Mohawk Democratic club were
quite inadequate to the number of men
and women who held dinner tickets.
Consequently some of the tables in the
rear of the Auditorium were served a
second time. The galleries We're also
well filled with spectators. e
AS, a matter Of course the star of the
evening was Democracy's distinguished
leader, William J. Bryan. His name,
as often as it fell from the lips Of the
speakers. all Of whom preceded him,
brought tremendous salvos of applause.
Mr.. Bryan devoted his address to the
discussion of three questions, namely,
money, trusts and imperialism. His
arguments on the money question and
the trusts were in line with his recent
speeches. &

SALT LAKE, May So far nearly
225 bodies have been recovered from the
Scofeld mine and it is thought that suf-
fcient bodies yet remain to bring the
List Of dead near 800. Nobody enter
tains the faintest hope that there is q
living man in the mine. 1t is now only
question Of recovering the bodies OF
the victims and that cannot be finished
Tor several days. sg.5% III y u 5
The fact that the rush Of air from the
mouth Of the main entry Of the mine min
was sufficient to blow man and his
team across the gulch almost 200 yards,
will serve to indicate what force was
exerted within the workings Of the
mine and in the immediate vicinity OF
the explosion
II any one man is to blame for the
accident it will never be known for no
man who can tell the story has come
out Of the mine alive. Many old coal
miners familiar with these mines state
that they have always been regarded az
the safest mines in the state. These
men also say that the company's policy
has always been to spare no expense il
order to keep the mines in a thoroughly
safe condition. At the coal company
store every thing is being given out free
Of charge that the families of the dead
are in irnmediate need Of and the store
is being kept open day and night.

rebel officer, who has surrendered, says
Major Tinio holds this belief. Major

that time had heard nothing from him.
There were only half dozen soldiers
with Aguinaldo when he fled beyond
the Bontonie wilderness, where even
the savages are hostile to all strangers.
Friends Of Aguinaldo's wife assert that
she has heard nothing from him since
they parted. ssSs

CHANCE FOR REFORM.

Methodist Episcopal Conference Finds
Much to Condemn. ta
@ CHICAGO, May a. The interest Of the
/ delegates to the Methodist conference
was centered in the reading Of the
bishops quadrenniaI address by Bishop
y. g. Andrews. The address, which
was prepared at recent meeting OF the
board Of bishops in indianapolis, YVES
called for by DR.. Frank NJ. Bristol Of
Baltimore. &;
The bishops address stated that the
church will not abandon its position on
the liquor question. On the contrary,
aroused and indignant at the aggres-
sions Of the liquor power, at the mex
cusable miscarriage Of the anti-canteen
law and at the new perils in which the
nation Is involving its new possessions,
it will summon and pledge all our min
listers and people toa more determined
struggle against this enormous evil.
As to marriage and divorce, the ad-
dress says: In, the presence Of this
evil. the church cannot allow its rules
on the 5sS$$ s}sa IL 5;z}
Subject OF Divorce and Rernarriage
TO be in any case imperative and void.
Let, if need be, the church law be
amended to more perfectly express the
New Testament rule Of marriage. But
by the voice Of its public assemblies, by
its pulpits and by the judicious exercise
Of discipline, the church should keep
itself pure and aid the civil law and the
practices Of society to become pure.
Closely associated with these evils is
the popular passion for unwhol olesome,
coarse and debauching amusements.
Whoever watches the daily press cannot
miss the evidence Of shameful degrade
zion in the theater, concert and dance
hall and on the race course. And the
tendency to great excess also in other
comparatively innocent forms Of amuse-
ment cannot escape attention. The Sc
riousness Of life seems largely forgotten,
its opportunities of usefulness unoccu-
pied, the vigilance necessary for right
eousness relaxed, and the love of the
passing world gaining in masterfulness.
