Falling Of In Worlds Gold Production IA
 Owing to Boer War.

l Washington, Oct. 25.-Director Rob- erts of the Mint has prepared a state i ment showing the production of the precious metals for the calendar year of 190o It shows that the production of gold in the world that year was 12,- 457 2S7 ounces, of the value of $2b7 ,514, - 700 a loss in value of $49, 070, 200 from 1899. The loss was mainly in the Transvaal field, South Africa, and due to the war. The production of South Africa in 1899 was of the value of $73,- 277,1oo and in 1900 $9.671, GOO. The prin- cipal gains were ss,11s,OoO in the United States and s6,6o6,O0O In Canada. The United States again heads the list. In the United States the principal gains were by Alaska, Arizona, Colorado and Utah.
 The silver output of the world amounted to 17S,79s, 796 fine ounces, the largest ever known It exceeds the produce of 1899 by 11,572513 ounces.
 The United States again leads all
 
 over Mexico. There was an important advance in the price of silver during the year, the price ranging from 59.1 cent per ounce in January to 66.3 cent in the last month of the year. The chief factor in the rise was the pur- chases for the account of the govern ment of India Silver rupees still con stitute the common currency of India and to supply the demand the govern ment gives rupees in exchange for gold sovereigns at the rate of 15 rupees to the sovereign. Under this policy the government reports an outlay for it's fiscal year ended March 31 1901 of G. 038,0o0 pounds sterling, which at the average value of the year would make the purchases amount to nearly 30,000,- 900 ounces. This would seem to restore India to somewhere near her old posi- tion as a customer for silver.

THE PAY OF FIREM EN.
Recon m endatians Decided on by Com
 mon Council Committee.


 Last night the common council com mittee on fire department held a hear ing on the communication from the board of fire commissioners concerning the regulation of salaries of hremen. About year and half ago the court of common council passed a resolution raising the salary of firenen from $S50 to $900 per year. Then it was decided that the constitutional provision against raising the salary of any officer in office when the raise was granted would pre- vent the resolution from taking effect 90 far as members of the department at that time were concerned. The result has been that Bremen ap pointed sIllce that time have received the increase i'll pay, while those hold ing positions at the time the resolution was adopted received less pay than members of the department appointed since Considerable dissatisfaction was created among members of the depart ment who had been in the service for years. when men who had been in the department only short time received more pay.
 To remedy this dissatisfaction the fire commissioners established a grade A for regular firemen and two grades for assistant engineers, and asked the court of common council to fix the pay for these. S2,47 per day for grade A, amounting to $500 per year, and $3e1 per day for second-grade assistant en-, sineers and $274 per day for first grade assistant engineers.
 Last night Chief Fancher and Com- missioner Sullivan appeared and spoke in favor of the proposed change, saying that it would have beneficial effect in doing away with much dissatisfaction over the present unequal system of pay ment which prevails
 The committee after the hearing de- cided to recommend that the fire com missioners' recommendation be adopted and in addition, to recommend that there be established a first grade and a second grade for drivers, the pay for first grade to be $2.71 per day and for the second grade s2,61 per day.

CARNEGIE TO BE NEUTRAL
TO TAKE NO PART IN NEW YORK
 CITY CA NPAIGN.
Declares Great Britain Has oted With Rare Good Sepse in Regard to the Nicarnguan Canal Knows Nothing of Reported English Steel Trust--Wiil Remain fn America Until May.

London. Oct 25.-Andrew Carnegie announced tonight that he will pre-. serve an absolutely impartial attitude
 in relation to the municipal campaign in New York city. Any other course he believes, will be highly improper ir view of his present and future relations with the municipal officials in New York in connection with his gift to that city. Mir Carnegie reiterated his dis inclination to speak for publication on any phase of the election and evinced a keen desire that no one should at tempt to quote or misquote him regard ing that contest However, he frank ly deprecated such "absurd" misrepre- sentations of the condition of New York city as appeared in the London Times this morning
 Dealing with the Nicaraguan canal question MT. Carnegie said to the rep resentative of The Associated Press: Great Britain has acted with rare good sense. The canal ought to be American, built by American money and by American men and brains and now it will be- There is no doubt Great Britain will be the greatest beneficiary and will have no reason to repent the sensible course she adopted during the recent negotiations"
 On being questioned regarding the rumors of a possible English steel trust MT. Carnegie laughlngly de- clared that he was now out of business and did not know or care anything more about it.
 With the exception of the Nicara- guan canal matter" he declared, q have really nothing to say. l expect to remain in America until May"
 Mir Carnegies Scottish education trust" is progressing to his satisfac- ton. During his present visit to America Mir. Carnegie will probably in- crease his already large benefactions to no small extent, although he adheres to his rule not to discuss such matters for publication.
 During his few days in London MT. Carnegie has been besieged by callers, but he has seen only a few persons and has given no interviews, except the one above to a representative of The As- sociated Press.
 MT. Carnegie, Mrs. Carnegie, Lord Pauncefote and Lady Pauncefote will sail for New York from Southampton to morrow on board the American line steamer St Luis.

Ward, aged y, a negro employe in
the car works. was arrested here and
later confessed TO having murdered
Miss Ida Finklestein, a schooI-teacher,
here late Monday afternoon. Ward
said the girl tainted him about his
color and then slapped him IN the
face and in a fit of anger he shot her
and then cut her throat. a crowd of
$500 men took Ward from the Jail
and hanged him to a stringer of the
wagon bridge across the Wabash river.
On the way to the bridge the victim
was beaten with sticks and shot at by
members of the mob and he was I'M
conscious when hanged and in all
probability dead. When the body was
dropped from the bridge one strand
of the rope broke and the leaders of
the mob thinking that their victim
might drop into the river, hauled the
body up again, and it was dragged to
the west side of the river and burned
There was no attempt at disguise on
the part of any member of the mob.
In all the crowd not one word of
sympathy for the wretch was TO be
heard, though many deprecated the
final act of burning

OPPOSE FEDERALISTS
Catholic Priests VIII Fight New
Political Power in Philippines.
Merely a Cloak for Protestant Attempts to
weaken the Power of the Roman
Church. They Say-8IethOdists
Baptize Several Converts

Manila, Feb. 26.-Rev. Father Nc
Kinnon, who was formerly private
secretary to Mgr. ChaPpelle and who
IS now pastor OF the Ermita Catholic
church, informed a representative OF
the Associated press yesterday thai
there were upwards of 500 native
priests in the Philippines opposed to
the federal party and that these
would refuse to administer the sacra-
ment to federaIists, because they be-
lieved the federal party to be merely
a cloak for Protestant attempts to
weaken the power of the church OF
Rome. He referred to the federal
party as resting on an insecure
foundation and destined to crumble
soon," and asserted that the MethO-
dist and Presbyterian missionaries
were using unfair means to induce
FiIipinos to leave the Catholic faith.
He assaiIed the character of Senior
Buencamino and other evangelical
leaders and contended that only by
securing the cooperation and good
viii of the padres could the Ameri-
cans make permanent progress in the
Philippines.
Senior Tavera, president of the fed
eral party, when the views of Father
McKinnon were brought to his atten-
ton, replied: $50 much the better,
as it will bring the matter to an is
aIe."
Many Converts Baptized.

meeting was held yesterday morning

sions, together with Senior Buencam-
inc and others, is preparing articles
