New stenogrnphic Typewriter

In recent letter to the State Department
Consul General Guenther, at Frankfort,
tells of the invention in Germany of an i'm
proved stenographic typewriter. The great
drawback to shorthand typewriters hereto
fore patented has been that the writing
was done upon narrow paper. like a print
ing telegraph. This new stenotyper, how
ever, employs roll of paper as wide as an
ordinary shorthand note book. AS against
thirty or more an ordinary typewriter
the operator has but six keys to strike in
the new device. To read stereotype the eye
must become accustomed to a new style of
type, based somewhat upon the Morse al
phahet in telegraphy, as 1t consists of a
combination of dots and dashes. The
marks of the six keys, which can be tapped
simultaneously, can be combined in sixty
three different ways, producing an alpha
bet of sixty-three letters

GOLD DIscov9RY IN JAPAN
EXTENSIVE DEPOSITS IN NORTHERN
PART OF EMPIRE.
Foreigners Organizing Companies to
Work the Disgfngs-yart Min

Correspondence of the Associated Press.

YOKOHAMA. April 1, 1900.
The discovery of gold in Hokkaido, the
northernmost of the main islands of the
empire, is assuming more and moro i'm
pcrtance. The total length of the river beds
containing gold dust is put at $500 miles,
and the total productive area at 1,1JO, 600
acres. Nuggets Weighing over half a
pound have been found.
Since the restriction upon foreign owner
ship and management of the mines have
been removed by this government, compa-
MES have been formed among the foreign
ers in Yokohama. In one case a tract Of
thirty-seven acres has been. purchased an
expert from California engaged and all ar
rangements made to begin operations 1t
will be a boon to the Japanese to have
skilled miners from the west to take hand,
the native methods of working gold dig
gings are said to be exceedingly wasteful
and destructive. The removal of reStric-
lions upon foreigners in the matter Of
mining is held to be good omen for the
final granting to them of the privilege Of
land ownership in general.
News has been received of fight in Ban
shizan, Formosa. between a party of SOL
diers and number of bandits. II is stated
that a number of soldiers were killed or
wounded. Particulars are not at hand.
Hereafter all Storage passengers for
America will be required to undergo u med
lcal examination DeIoTe leaving japanese
ports. A fee of one yen each will be col
lected from the emigrants to defray the ex-
pense of examination.
The approaching wedding of the crown
prince is arousing considerable int est. The
Yamagata city assembly has decided to es-
tablsh a library with capital of 10000
yen in honor of the imperial wedding, and
the people of the town of Aomori have de-
cided to build public hall in commemora-
ton Of it. Among the wedding presents al
ready announced are a gold ink stand val
ued at 1000 yen, presented by the court
nobles and golden incense burner valued
at 10000 yen, presented by the Toxic city
officials.

MY statement is absolute. This is the
third time 1 have made it, and three times
ought to be out. / appreciate the import
ance of the Office and the honor shown me
by those who would like to see me occupy
1t, but, beyond any shadow of doubt, the
place for me to render good service to the
state and the party is the place 1 now
hold If the republicans of New York state
see MT to renominate me for governor
shall be glad. 1 can render at this time the
best service to the party by running for
governor and the best service to the public
as governor"
But cannot the Philadelphia convention
be stampeded to your"
No. 1 shall second the nomination of
PRESIDENT Mckinley, which is the proper
thing for me to do. and the ticket will
have my loyal support throughout the "a M

So spoke Governor Roosevelt Of New York
today as his train approached Chicago He
was coming to the Marquette Clubs recep-
tlon tonight and the Grant birthday exer-
ctses at Galena tomorrow, where he will
be the orator OF the day. Governor Roose-
velts statements other than those given
above left no room for question as to the
utter impOssibiIty of making him Prest-
dent Mckinley's running mate this year.
Governor Roosevelt was asked about his
1904 candidacy for the presidency. He
laughed: That is long way Off / do not
know what may happen before then"
A delegation of Spanish war veterans

rival in the city. A delegation from the

ernor and secured a promise from him to

Senate Yesterday.

The discussion of the Scott case was con-
| tinued in the Senate yesterday afternoon

gument in support of the motion of his col
league to recommit the case to the COM
mttee, with instructions to make a thor

West Virginia a de jure legislat ton.
Mr.. Allen (Neb) held that the United
States Senate could not review any of the
actions of that legislature-even the cleo
ton of a United States senator.
Mr.. Teller maintained that the United

ton of the West Virginia legislature, as it
was a constitutional body and fully quail
fled to determine all matters for itself.

vote upon the case but Mr.. Pettus objected,
denouncing the effort indecent haste"
