YANKEE GOLD NOT WANTED
STATEMENT MADE By THE CHAN
CELLOR OF THE ExCHEQUER.
Parliament's Early Meeting Due to
Necessity of Providing Funds
Skirmishes I'm south Africa.

LONDON, Nov, 13.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach. chancellor of the exchequer, speak
ing this evening in Bristol, said ii would
not be his privilege in the next budget TO
relieve the taxpayers. He wished he could
say that he was not about to increase the
budget but the governments expenditures
had been enormous. especially in China and
South Africa. He declared emphatically.
however. that the wealth of the Transvaal
would have to bear part of the South Afri-
can expenses.
"Of course" said Sir Michael, I'VE must
not spoil the future of the Transvaal by
attempting to impose upon it greater
burden than it could reasonably bear. That
would be cutting our own threats. There
fore. the British taxpayers must necessari-
ly bear a large part of the cost of war"
He also emphasized the fact that the main
tenance of a strong army and navy would
involve a further considerable expendi-
ture.
The early calling of Parliament with
the object of securing for The govern
ment further borrowing powers to meet
the expenses of the South African and
Chinese situations has caused much COM
ment in the money market 1t is under
stood the government has already bor-
rowed ss,0o0OO0 from the Bank of England
and further operations of this kind would
be imprudent and would disorganize the
money market. 1t is quite impossible to
foretell what amount the chancellor of the
exchequer will find 1t necessary to borrow.
The general idea is that the figure will be
somewhere between s25,OOo,OOO and ESQ.,
0c0,OO0
A strong feeling is expressed against
placing any portion of the loan in the
United States. 1t is argued that when the
Americans want gold they have only to
send bonds back to England, thus depict
ing the gold reserves; ana it is contended
that there is ample British capital seek
ing investment to meet all the require
ments of the government. The suggestion
In the market to-day was that an issue
might be made of a Transvaal loan for
G2o,OO0,o0O or s30,00O,OO0 with interest guar
anteed by the British government.
1t Is evident that Sir Michael Hicks
Beach has no easy task before him. In
desired to resign, but had been persuaded
to remain in office. South African capital
lists are protesting against the Transvaal
being saddled with the cost of the war
while British taxpayers are equally anx-
ious to have the mines bear the burden.

associates that he intended to start on the
third battle soon after the election in case
he failed to secure the presidency. IL was
said that he had expressed the opinion that
he could not take senatorship during the
coming four years because he would ''be
very busy man. This programme for a
third race for the nomination has not APP
parently been changed by the size of the
adverse majority and the virtual decision
of the Eastern Democrats to get control of
the party machinery. There is doubt
that the size of the vote for President Nc

jority this year OF 1.7Ss, the vote being 7,465

years ago McKinley's majority in this
county was $50. This seeming Reputation
of Mr.. Bryan is not personal in it's charac-
ter. Here the general feeling toward him is
almost invariably considerable so far as 1t
touches him personally. When it comes to
politics that is another story. The city,
county and State voted against him. not
on account of, but in spite of, his person
atty. The verdict is against him because
the people think him wrong on the principal
issues, and because they are convinced that
in spite of all the attractive traits of his
character he gets carried away in the heat
of public speaking and becomes a dema-
gogue. They like him personally. but they
afraid to trust him in the management
of their governmental affairs. 1t is like
the relations of good many business men
with those they meet socially. The men
they enjoy playing billiards with at the
club may not be the ones they would want
to put in charge of their business affairs.
