There is democrat in Missoula

cratic administration in that section.
Well Missoula porulists have been

The fellow that was making the
kick is not good democrat. however,

COINAGE DURING THE YEAR.
Director of the Mint Tells Of the Opera
lions of This Important Branch Of
tho Government Service.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The report of
Mr.. George E. Roberts, director of
the mint, upon the operations of the
mint service during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1901, has been COM
pleted. The coinage of the mints
during the fiscal year amounted to
176, 999, 132 pieces, of the value of $780,

The<coinage of silver dollars during
the year was wholly from the stock

bullion on hand at the beginning of
the fiscal year was S3,2SS,054 standard
ounces and at the end of the year
SO, 562, 1927 standard ounces. The coin
age of this bullion has been acceler-
ated to enable the treasury to retire
the treasury notes issued in its pur-
chase and at the same time supply
the pressing demand which has exist
ed throughout the year for the small
denominations of money required in
retail trade.
The estimated production of gold
in the United States during the cal
endar year 1900 was of the value of
SIS, III 900, and notwithstanding the
fact that this country led the world
in production, it's imports exceeded
its exports by $12,s66,O1O.
The worlds coinage of gold in the
calendar year 1900 was 1884, 936, 497
and of silver $177,O11 1902.
The industrial coin consumption Of
gold in the United States during tho
calendar year 1900 is estimated at
SIG. 500 and of the world approx
mately $75,OO0,O0O.

PUSHING CANAL TREATY.
Senate Committee Reports It Favorably,
Though Bacon and Money Find
Much to Criticise.

Washington, Dec. THE senate
committee on foreign relations Fri
day voted to report favorably the new
Hay-Pauncefote treaty providing for
the construction of an isthmian canal.
The committe was in session nearly
two hours and went over in detail the
provisions of the convention. No
votes were cast against it, but it was
criticised very sharply by Senators
Money and Bacon, who found in it
many of the objections which they
urged against the old treaty. They
took especial exception to the provi-
sion continuing in force the neutrality
provision of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty and also made objection to
the clause specifically authorizing
the United States to police the canal
as placing a limitation upon the
power of this country to absolutely
control it.

INSPECTION TOO RIGID.
Uncle Sam Rejects Too Many Good
Horses for Army Use.

Chicago, Dec. AT Fridays ses-
sion of the National Live Stock con-
vention a resolution of interest to
horse-raisers was adopted. It calls
for a less rigid inspection of horses
intended for government use, espe-
cially in the army and suggests the
appointment of committee of our
army men and eight horse breeders
to act as judges at shows where prizes
shall be given for horses best fitted
for service in the various branches OF
the army. The unnecessary severity
of the government inspectors in Sc
lecting horses is shown in the fact
that England has bought 10000
horses and mules for use in South
Africa, while the United States hav-
ing advertised for $4,000 animals has
been able to get only 5000 head.
After spirited contest between
the friends of Portland, Ore, and
Kansas City, Mo-, the convention Sc
lected the latter city as the place for
the next convention. This convention
will begin the second Tuesday in
January, 1908.

leans, whose yearly compensation
foots up $2,2sO,044. There are 1852
Filipinos, all, with few exceptions,
occupying minor places, which yield
q total of $500, 945 to the incumbents.

NATURAL CAVE DISCOVERED
a New Wonder Found About Fifty Miles
East of Butte. Mont.-Evidences OF
Prehistoric Period.

Denver, Col, Dec. "a special to
the News from Butte, Mont, says:
A new and wonderful natural cave,
believed to be one of the largest
known. has just been discovered in
the canyon of the Jefferson on the
line of the Northern Pacific railway,
about so miles east of Butte. An ex-
ploration party from Butte spent sew
eral days in the cave, going over an
area of ten miles and to a depth of
nearly 1000 feet. A large river with
a cataract of about 100 feet was ex-
plored for distance of several miles
without discovering it's source or out
let. A few articles of stone and cop
per utensils and some bones believed
to be human bones were also found
in one of the large apartments of the
cave.

WOULD TAKE ALL REVENUES.
+ A Thousand Pension Bills Presented Which.
IL Passed. Would Require Over $780,
100000 Additional to Pay Them.

Washington, Dec. 9.-About 1000
pension bills already have been in
PRODUCED in congress. Some of these
bills, if they become law, would add
about $1OO,oOO,OoO year to the pen
sion expenditures. If by any posi-
bility they could all become law it
would take all of the revenues of the
government to meet the expenditures
called for. There are such bills as the
one introduced by Mr.. Bowersock,
of Kansas, giving the widow of an
officer or an enlisted man who dies
the same pension as the officer or en-
listed man received or would be en-
titled to in case he was on the retired
list or pension list or should have
been put there.

BLOCKS THE DANISH DEAL.
United States Will Not Agree to Give Semi.
Barbarous Natives of East Indies
Rights of Citizenship.

Washington, Dec. satisfactory
conditions cannot be reached in the
effort of the United States govern
ment to acquire title to the Danish
West Indies. The condition which
Denmark places upon the cession
proposition is that the people shall
be given the rights of citizenship in
the United States. The secretary of
state would like to close the negotia-
ton for the islands. He would do
so if the restrictions indicated could
be removed. Nine-tenths of the pop
ulation are of an ignorant, semi
barbarous class. The state depart
ment realizes that no treaty which it
negotiated with such provisions
would be ratified by the United
States.

ALL ON EQUAL FOOTING.
Plan to Secure Mckinley Monument Fund
Subscriptions from School Children So
as to Avoid Embarrassment.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 81. II. Jones,
superintendent of the Cleveland pub
lie schools, has devised plan for re-
ceiving contributions from pupils to
the Mckinley National Memorial
fund. The plan is for secret contri-
button. Each pupil will be supplied
with an envelope on which will be
written the name and home address.
In this way the children who have
given penny ans the millionaire who
contributes his thousands are on
equal footing. Every contributor is
given a souvenir certificate, no mat
ter how small his Offering. This
souvenir certificate further preserves
contributors pride by simply stat
ing that he is contributor without
giving the sum contributed.

One of the jolliest clubs in Paris, it is
stated, is one formed exclusively of
deaf and dumb persons.
The city authorities of Dover, Eng
land, have received authority from
parliament to scrape the staring adj
vertisements off the famous chalk
cliffs of that coast.
France is proud of the increase in
her populations. The census figures
for this year are IS, 641 1873, an increase
in five years of 412,364. The increase
in the preceding five-year period WAS
only 1850.
Silk hats continue to be very fash
ionable in England OF course, the
greatest wear is in London. but
Throughout Great Britain there is ex-
pended each year over $1,000, 900 on
this style of headgear.
1t is interesting to find that there are
still 80 High streets in London, al
though many others have been re-
named. There are IL ST. Johns roads
and nine ST. James places. Eleven
Queen streets still exist, although SO
have been renamed, and Is King streets
| remain out of the original SO. There
are two Oxford streets other than the,
famous one, and five Victoria streets.
Nearly half century ago the ex-
pertinent of putting horse meat on the
market was made for the first time
in Austria. A government decree of
April 20. 1854, gave legal permission
to cut up and sell horse meat as an
tarticle of food. During the rest of
that year and in 1885, 943 horses were
slaughtered for food in Vienna, the
number rose in 1S99-the last year for
which statistics are obtainable-to2 5,.

At the recent meeting of the Ger
man and Austrian Alpine clubs, held
at Meran, DR.. Klotzberg, president of
the Austrian Tourist club, delivered
an address in which he strongly con-
demned the growing practice of climb
ing obscure, dangerous peaks, which
has led to the needless sacrifice of
many lives. "Such climbing" he de-
clared, sis no longer touristik; it is
acrobatic. it is suicide He called
upon the members to discountenance
it, and was warmly applauded.

TROOPS TOO HUMANE
Sen. Chaffse Says Americans Rely
on the Deceitful Filipino.
Natives. He Says. Are Amigo and Zoe
Alike in the Self-Same Hour-Mii.
tary Conditions in the Islands
Summed Tn.

Washington, Dec. THE war de-
partment yesterday made public the
first annual report of Maj. Gen. Chat
fee, military governor of the Philip
pine islands. Gen. Chaffee sums up
the situation in the Philippines from
a military point of view by stating
that the provinces of Batangas and
Laguna, in Luzon, and the islands
Of Samar, Mindoro, Cebu and Bohol
constitute the area now disturbed by
any embodied force of insurgents.
He says that TO the physical charac-
ter of the country, to the nature OF
the warfare of the rebels, who are
amigo and foe in the self same hour,
to the humanity of the troops, which
is taken advantage of by the rebels
and the inhabitants who sympathize
with them, and to the fear of assas-
sination on the part of the friendly
disposed if they give Information to
the American forces, is due the pro-
longation of the guerrilla warfare.
Gen. Chaffee recommends that
there be no further material reduc-
ton of troops before January, 1908.
On the subject of the military gov
eminent of the city of Manila, Gen.
Chaffee says: SIN the government
of Manila for three years, if the mil
itary have done nothing more, it is
everywhere apparent that an excel
lent foundation has been laid and q
turbulent and hostile community
brought to observe the laws and in
dividually be orderly; this has been
done without undue harshness or Sc
verify of treatment of the inhab-
itants."
In anticipation of a partial concen-
tration of the troops in the Philip
pines next year Gen. Chaffee submits
estimates of cost for the construc-
ton of quarters and barracks.
Gen. Chaffee devotes a good part
of his report to the terrible disas-
ter which befell company C, Ninth in
fantry, at Balangiga, Samar, and
which, he says, was largely due to
over confidence in assumed pacified
conditions and in a people, who, to
great extent as yet, are strangers to
and unappreciative of our humane
and personal liberty beliefs and ac-
tons" American soldiers, he says,
fail to discriminate between real and
assumed friendship On the part of the
Filipinos.

THEY PUZZLE THE MEDICS.
Some New Diseases That Physicia MS
Can Neither Diagnose Nor
Cure.

| Wueu solomon declared CndG Gnere
| is nothing new under the sun the
art of the physician was yet in its
infancy. All practitioners of the
present day bear testimony to the
fact that new diseases of the human
system are constantly developing and
of necessity they require new modes
of treatment, says London paper.
One disease which the doctors are
trying to find out about, with very
| little success, is beri-beri, which
seems to be identical with the "sleep-
| ing sickness of the west coast of
Africa. The attention which the
medical profession has paid recent
| ly to eastern and tropical diseases
has brought beri-beri to the fore,
whereas little scientific attention
| used to be paid to it. Negroes are
peculiarly susceptible to the disease.
and on the west coast of Africa
whole villages of natives have been
known to lie down and sleep them
selves to death. Some time ago there
was an outbreak of this disease in a
lunatic asylum in Dublin, and several
patients slept to death. How this
malady, supposed to be peculiar to
the tropics and the far east, came
to appear in Dublin is a mysctery
Recently the Norwegian bark Taurus
put into Falmouth, England, having
had seven cases and four deaths from
beri-beri on her way from jackson.
to appear in Dublin is a mystery
for the disease is unknown in Florida
English and American soldiers serv
ing in the far east rarely suffer from
beri-beri, but French and Spanish
garrisons are greatly subject to it
A couple of years ago out of a gar
rison of $50 at post in French
Tonquin so died from beri-beri.
AS If the doctors were not both.
cred enough with the old diseases,
new one has appeared in Sardinis
and Sicily. The doctors in these
Mediterranean islands recently no.
ticed that many of the peasants
| showed symptoms Of poisoning from
eating beans. They developed curl
Gus symptoms and all of them were
overcome with drowsy stupor. In
some cases those predisposed to the
disease have been seen to fall uncon-
scious simply from inhaling the scent
OF Dean held IN flower. Yet to the
average person there is nothing poi
sonous about beans. Horrible
thought Suppose this new disease
should spread to Boston.
Another disease which puzzles doc
tors is that form of idiocy known as
cretinism. Why does it exist only
in certain districts? 1t has been said
that it is epidemic only in limestone
regions, yet there are plenty of
places where the rock is of this char
ncter and yet the disease is unknown.
For instance, it is very rare in Eng
land, where there is plenty of mar
Lnesium limestone, and prevalent in
similar districts in France. It gen
orally is put down as being peculiar
to mountain districts, yet on the is
land of Niederwerth, below Coblentz
on the Rhine, there are 131 cases
among $50 people.
