An international sailing race, half
way around the world, will start
from New York City the first week in
August. The racing ships are the
"Acme" and the Brilliant" The
''Acme" was built in Maine and flies
the stars and stripes. The Bril-
liant" was launched few months
ago at Glasgow. These vessels are
the latest additions to the big sail
ing fleet of the Standard Oil Com
pany. They are loading for Yoko-
hama, and their sailing dates are
almost identical. The two ships
will follow the same course, reaching

In the yield of gold and silver in
the year 1900, the United States led
the world. The amount of gold
mined in this country was $78, 1885,
684, an increase of $8,063,953 over
1899. The silver mined reached a
total of $36,576,9O0, gain of
2,434,963 ounces. In both metals
the output in the United States for
1900 was $114,735,5 74. The pro-
duct of the world of both was $685.
100000, so that nearly one-third OF
the gold and silver added to the
worlds stock last year was mined
in, the United States. Colorado now
leads the States in both metals.

a principle

There is no dispute as to theimme-
date cause of the strike of the men,
bers of the Amalgamated Association
employed in the tin plate, steel and
hoop mills. 1t is not matter of
wages. Nor is it a question of recog-
nizing the union. The question is
merely whether or not the steel COM
panies shall organize certain mills
which have not hitherto been union,
though union men were not barred
from them and union rates of wages
were paid. In fact, strong organiza-
tions had been formed in them, as is
shown when, in response to the strike
order, they are closed down.

Already the action of the Ohio Dem
ocratic convention in repudiating
Bryanism is encouraging Democratic
journals in the south to some plain
speaking. The Savannah News, for
example, believes that the party had
better abandon definitely the issues
of free silver and imperialism, ~
which were thrust forward in 1900,
and upon which Bryan declares that
he will fight on, even though mot
to win" But the News fails to offer
any new issue for the party without
a principle.

Movements In Money.

New York, June 1.-THE Financier
says:
Large syndicate operations are reflected
in the bank statement of June 10. The
excess reserve was again heavily de-
creased and stands at SS,7S2 l25, compared
with S2l 100000 on May 25, loss of over
Sl2,000.000 in three weeks In this period
the loans of the bank have risen not less
than so, 100000 and deposits $44 100000.
while the amount of the cash on hand is
about 81 100000 less than on the former
date. 1t appears, therefore, that the banks
are not losing much particularly, but that
the increasing liabilities are tying up
large amount of otherwise idle money in
the former reserves against deposits.
This is worthy of mention only in the
sense that the large operations noted are
of more or less temporary character
and their consummation may set free
quite an amount of available funds in the
near future The July dividend period is
largely being arranged for and will exert
an influence in the market soon. The
particular features which are shown in the
current statement are traceable to the
Pennsylvania steel purchase and kindred
deals, and the loss of one and a half mil
lions in cash is due to movements OF
money in the direction of Philadelphia
which were heavy during the bank week
and to operations with the subtreasury
at New York.

Profits Divided.

Chicago, June l7.-Checks for approx
mately $l,O0O,OOO were sent out by the
George II. Phillips company to points from
Maine to Mexico. The disbursement was
in the nature of a dividend ON the cele-
brated May corn deal, the pool account
having been written up to As cents, this
being the average price which the leader
of the campaign has been able to figure
out up to this time.
The checks go out to about 300 individ-
uals, who had an interest in the pool OF
about 10 900 bushels of corn. The low
est man got in" at 80. rs cents. The
average profit so far demonstrated is
cents per bushel This may be increased
when the cash corn now on hand in va
rious positions is disposed of, or there may
be no further profit. 1t will depend en-
tirely on the state of the market when the
cash corn is sold. The largest individual
interest in the pool was 100000 bushels
and the smallest 5000 bushels.

New York, June IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Special Commissioner Rockhill has ca
bled the state department that four OF the
powers have not accepted 450O000OO taels
1887 ,000,000) as the lump sum to be de-
manded Of China. These powers are Rus
sia, Germany, France and Great Britain.
Diplomats accredited to this government
assert there is no necessity for formal ac-
ceptance by the powers of the limit OF
450,OO000O taels.
They point out that each power present
ed its claim for damages; that these were
Jumped together, and that the aggregate
was the limit of the demand accepted by
the Chinese ENJOYS. Consequently there is
no necessity for further discussion of this
point Rejecting the views of their gov
ernments, these gentlemen express doubt
that the American proposal for the refer
ence of the indemnity question to The
Hague would be adopted.

The 20 foot of ledge on the footwall

Superintendent George L. Hedges of

Der for the compressor plant.
Systematic development is being
done at the new placer fields by three
concerns. In addition there are many
small holes on the low and the high
bars, but they do not appear to have
offered inducements sufficient for the
locators to open them. 1t is possible
this is due to the great expense in con-
structing bitches and fumes. Three
men are working on the discovery.
They have done a small amount OF
ground sluicing on the low bar where
the discovery was made. They are now
engaged in cleaning up the bedrock by
shoveling into the sluices. They are
handicapped by having but little OF
water. This makes it impossible to
move much earth There are great
number of boulders that weigh from
200 to 500 pounds each. The owners
said they were doing we'll, but gave nc

THE HAGUE ARBITRATION MET
HAS ONLY BEEN ORGANIZED
Last of the Judges Appointed-Sev-
eraI international Questions Are
Up AIready-Not i'm Permanent SEES

Berlin. June If. w. Hollis,
United States member of The Hague
arbitration court, during an interview
informed the correspondent of the
Associated Press that The Hague ar
bitration court has only just been
organized by the appointment of the
last of the So judges, but several in
ternational questions are already be-
fore the court. The Transvaal ques-
ton was certainly not one of these,
because The Hague peace conference
has decided that the Boer states were
not sovereign states. The court will
not be in permanent session, but will
only act when suitable questions are
presented to it, when the whole court
will select a bench to adjudicate each
question.
Mr.. Hollis said both Count Won
Buelow and Baron Won Richthofen,
the foreign minister, had received
him in the most kindly manner, shar-
ing his belief that The Hague court
was like the Magma Charta, an gree
ment around which the future inter
national law will crystalline Mr.. Hollis
believes the emperor, the German gov
eminent and the German people are
now sincerely in favor of The Hague
arbitration court on all questions
which seem to properly belong there
Mr.. Hollis thinks this is all the more
remarkable because Germany, during
the conference of 1899, hal at first
a number of serious weighty objec
tions to urge against arbitration. But
she has now honestly altered hel
opinion.
During the week the two questions
which mainly occupied public atten
ton were the discussions in the Ital
ian chamber of deputies relative tC
the dreibund and Great Britains at
titude toward the question of Germany
maintaining a garrison at Shanghai
The press expressed an opinion tina
Signor Prettini, the Italian ministe
of foreign affairs, can not be relie'
upon by the other powers forming thu
dreibund, although the newspapers IN
cline to the belief that after Friday
proceedings the continuation of tn
dreibund is assured Government Gil
cles never held a different opinion al

An Ironclad Agreement SiEncd-Har-

ship Lines Included.

Chicago, June 17.-The Tribune
says
e. II. Hartman was the directing
figure in two movements begun re-
Gently which are expected to affect
every railroad running west OF Cnica-
go and st. Paul. What is believed to
be the first step toward a composite
agreement between the great roads
running west of these cities was per-
fected at a conference held here be-
tween Mr.. Hartman and the officials
of the companies concerned. By its
terms an ironclad agreement to end
rate wars and other complications is
expected to be spread over all the
roads in the northern group, includ-
ing the Northern Pacific, the Burling-
ton, the Milwaukee & st. Paul, the
Union Pacific, the Great Northern
nnes. At the southwest the Southern
Pacific and Missouri Pacific will OPP
crate hand in hand
1t will be a community of interests
plan and provides that the Pacific
Mail and Occidental Steamship lines,
controlled by the Southern Pacific,
shall take care of the Santa Fe's
transpacifc business. The other move
directed by Mr.. Hartman was the
practical provision for the transfer Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
to the Hartman syndicate and the
turning of this line into link of the
Union Pacific system.
This plan was arranged at a secret
conference held at the Auditorium An
mex, attended by many railroad men
and a number of bankers.
Little doubt is entertained that the
} syndicate has acquired control of the
Milwaukee & st. Paul on practically
tue same lines that j. j. Hill secured
, control of the Burlington. The stock
of the st. Paul road will be taken over
, ny the Union Pacific at the October
meeting. 1t is reported that the
stockholders of the former line will
be offered 5000 of per cent bonds
for every 500 worth of stock, and that
t the bonds will be guaranteed by the
Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Missouri Pa
: cific and the Goulds, who are said to
