Democratic states rights prevents
the Democratic party from making
any effective amendment to the consti-
tuition to control trusts, and the Dem
ocratic chief justice holds that the
constitution can do no more until it is
amended. There is your Democratic
deadlock. The only way out is to vote
for the Republican party that tried to
amend the constitution without fear
of states rights, and was prevented by
the Democrats, who did not dare to let
the people of the states have chance
to vote on such an amendment.

HEAVY MOVEMENT
OF CURRENCY

Washington, Sept. 25.-The pressure
for currency for moving the crops IL
beginning to be felt. The issue of gold
certificates by the treasury at various
points in the South and West in eX-
change for deposits of gold in the New
York sub-treasury by banks on behalf
of their country correspondents are al
ready 81 100000 more than n, the same
time last year. The exchanges have
reached S4.495,O00. of which all but
100000 has been in September. New
Orleans has taken 50. 19J.000 in the new
gold certificates. st. Louis S7JO,OOO and
Chicago 100000.
These are not the only exchanges be
ing made in New York and Washing
ton in order to get currency into the
country districts. a shipment of $780,
600 in small silver certificates has just
been made to st. Louis in return for
an equal amount of gold coin for the
New York sub-treasury. New Orleans
has received this month nearly $1,000,
600 in small notes of various classes.
The policy of shipping notes from
Washington to interior points in return
for gold ut New York was adopted
when the gold reserve was low, be-
cause the banks proiited by the express
rate on currency in one direction, and
often directed their New York agents
to deposit the gold to obtain the ben
eft.
Pressure for currency is not expect
ed by the treasury, because Of the
great increase in available supply,
which has been made in the past year.

ESCAPED MISSIONARIES
TELL OF TERRIBLE TRIALS

London, Sept. 25.-The American
missionaries, J. Roberts, Mark Will
liams, William Sprague, Mrs. Sprague
and Miss Virginia Murdock, who es-
capped from Kalgan, province of Chi
Ii, China, in June, We're CEASED across
the Cobb desert Thence they Travelled
by way of Siberia, and have just
reached London in good health The
missionaries will proceed Immediately
to the United States. Mr.. Williams,
who has worked in China for thirty
four years, gave an interesting story
of his experiences.
1t appears that the first assault on
the mission compound at Kalgan was
made during the night of June 10th,
when a yelling mob attempted to bat
ter down the gate with stones. See
ing the uselessness of remaining, the
missionaries, in the course of the night,
evacuated the compound and proceeded
to the magistrates yamen. The fol-
lowing day they We're ordered to leave,
the magistrate declaring that he fear
ed not only for the missionaries safety,
but also for his own yamen if he con-
rinued to protect them. After allow
ing the Americans to draw their
money from the native bank, the mag
istrate furnished them with fifty sol
diers as an escort through the great
gate in the wall into Mongolia.
I'VE had no idea then of the terrible
journey which awaited u.s." continued
Mr.. Williams. I'VE had no notion of
having to escape across Siberia and
only purposed to remain in some place
of safety and return after the crisis.
Wherever we attempted to Stop,' how
ever the officials ordered us to leave
forthwith, declaring the Boxers were
on our heels. Finally. reaching Mon
gol encampment at Harausa. we saw
that flight across the Cobb desert
was inevitable. Having secured a car

Cause of the Strike.

The present strike in the coal re-
sions of Pennsylvania is result of
contention over the arbitration of a
point in dispute between miners and
operators. The miners demanded an
increase in wages and the employers
refused The miners then asked for
arbitration. This was not refused, but
its acceptance was delayed and the
strike was called. In the meantime
the price of hard coal has gone up
from Sc to 81 and may go as high as
SIS. The operators claim to have suf-
dcient coal on hand to supply the
winters demand. But the strike will
xprobably end in a few weeks.
Many ugly rumors are being put in
circulation to the effect that the strik-
ers are being made the victims of Il
political trick by their leaders and

and was the severest that ever visited
northwest Alaska.
A number of barges and lighters
were driven ashore and totally
wrecked. All along the beach for
miles. both east and west of Nome the
wind and water have caused havoc
with tents and mining machinery. A
number of lives are believed to have
been lost. 1t is known that Andrew
A. Ryan of Los Angeles was drowned.
Several captains and seamcn on small
tugs are missing, and it is thought they
are lost. Fully 500 people are home
less, while the loss to property and sup
plies Is over 100000.
There is not an alley leading to the
beach that is not filed with debris.
many of the Front street buildings
abuttlng on the beach have been dam
aged. Numerous small buildings We're
swept completely away. The damage
to buildings, tents, household effects,
merchandise and other goods and
chattels is seen everywhere along the
water front.
The heaviest individual losers are
probably the Alaska Commercial Com
pany and Wild Goose Mining and
Trading Company. \ serious loss is
the disappearance of over 1000 tons of
coal.
Captain French, In command Of
troops, has thrown open the govern
