CHANDLER WOULD RELIEVE
PRESIDENT OF MANY DUTIES

Washington, Jan. G.-The Washing
ton Post prints an interesting article
by ex-senator William Il. Chandler,
president of the Spanish Claims Com
mission, entitled. Wanted, by the
United States, n President" The article
is a strong argument for n reform in
the present methods of conducting eX-
ceutive business.
Mr.. Chandler asserts hat n president
has now only three objects in his life
first, to see 10000 people n year; sec
ond. to accomplish 1000 little things,
and third, to try to do 200 great things.
In the seeing of so many thousand peo-
pie about trivial matters, and in giving
his attention to the thousands of lit
tie things, the President, Mr.. Chandler
insists, is worn II and becomes
physically unable TO grapple with the
great problems to which he ought TO
give his undivided attention.
Mr.. Chandler cites from personal
knowledge the cases of presidents who
have almost succNmbed under the
strain, instancing particularly Presi-
dent Arthur, in whose Cabinet he was
secretary of the navy, and President

OFFICERS FOLLOWING
THE M~URDERER'S TRAIL

Denver. ian. 6.-The wne of the aX
used in the murder of Harold Fridborn
has been found. and with this import
ant fact established the police believe
that the discovery of the perpetrator
of the deed will only be the matter of
u few days,
j. j. Bane, a motorman in the employ
of the Denver Iramway Company. is
the owner of the aX, and he lives at
49, Clay street, within six blocks Of
the tragedy. While officer Lindsey was
riding ON Bane's car on his way to the
station in North Denver yesterday, he
engaged him in conversation regarding
the mystery of the ownership of the
AK, and Bane said that he had lost one.
Lindsey persuaded him to come to the
station and inspect the one in the
chiefs possession. Bane, without any
said it was stolen from his barn be
tween Monday, December 20, and
Thursday. January 2nd.
According to the story told by Bane,
the last time he had used or seen the
aX was on Monday afternoon, when
his wife asked him to cut some kind
ling wood. He complied, left the AK in
the barn, and had not missed it until
Thursday morning, when his wife
asked him where il was. He replied
that 1t was in the barn and when she
denied this statement he went out and
looked for il and found it gone. After
ward he sent his son to search for 1t
and the latter returned with n Ratchet
which he said he found lying in the
place where the aX was usually kept.
Bane said he thought nothing further
about the matter and gave Ibis as the
reason for not coming forward before
and claiming the ownership.
Haviland G. Wilmot, superintendent
of the Summit Fuel Company. who
lives Mt 1869 Hayward place, positively
identified William Reynolds, n suspect
arrested Thursday afternoon. as a man
who came into his yard early Tuesday
morning. carrying an TX, and asked for
n job at wood'chopping. Wilmot told
him he had nothing for him, but the
next morning. the day after the trag-
edy, Reynolds appeared In the yard
again. but this time without the ak.
He still wanted work, but there was
nothing for him to do. Later in the
day Wilmot saw Reynolds drinking in
n saloon in the neiEhborhood.
Reynolds does not deny having an ak
on the day of the tragedy, and says
that he stole 1t out of a shed. When
asked what he did with it, he said that
n lady had given him work chopping
wood, and that when he had finished
he threw the aX away.

Mckinley. to whose impaired health
Mr.. Chandler attributes inability to re
cover from the shock from the assas-
sins bullet.
Mr.. Chandler expressed his regret
that President Roosevelt, even with
his q%uickness. his acuteness and his
present untiring industry and energy,
has given couhtcnance to the idea that
he will do all the appointing himself
and hear all that any II has TO say
concerning any appointment"
Mr.. Chandler thinks that the great
weight of the pressure for office ought
10 fall upon the Cabinet ministers, and
that the President ought to have more
time for important things. He adds:
"'This needed change of custom will
at first, no doubt, he unpopular. 1t will
be condemned as unrepublican eXclu-
~siveness. 1t will require, to begin the
new rule, a President who has been a
man of the people. who is known TO be
at heart thoroughly democratic in all
his ideas and ways, and who is also
strong in his convictions and is fear
less in his actions. Is not Mr.. Roose-
welt such n President? Will he inaug-
urate the reform?'

should be made without waiting Tor
the arrival of Mr.. Lampre. According
Iy the cable instructions We're forward
ed to NJ. Bouefve. He went at once 10
the Office of the Isthmian Canal Com-
mission and advised Admiral Walker
of the determination of the company:
In substance the notification delivered
to Admiral Walker was as follows:
The Panama Canal Company De
cIares itself ready to transfer to the
government of the United States, on
payment of S40,OOO.o00 its properties
and concessions, estimated at that
moun by the Isthmian Canal Com
mission. in conformity with the terms
and conditions of the estimates of said
commission
The offer as made TO Admiral walk
err and later communicated to the
President and secretary of state refers
to the estimates of the Isthmian Com
missions report. This feature of the
commissions report appears under the
caption. Total Value of the Panama
Canal and it is as follows:
Summing up the foregoing items
the total value of the property Is
found to he: Excavation already done,
S2T ,4T4, OBJ; Panama railroad stock at
par. S6,S5O.OO1; maps, drawings ana
records. S2.O0O.O0O. To which add ten
per cent. TO cover omissions, making

Washington. Jan. "a formal prop
osition to sell the Panama canal prop
critics 10 the United States for $40
100000 was yesterday submitted to the
authorities here. 1t was made by NJ.
Bouefve. representing the company, TO
Admiral Walker as chairman OF the
Isthmian Canal Commission. Nj.
Bouefve acted under cable instruc-
lions from the Panama canal officials
at Paris. Admiral Walker at once
brought the proposition to the knowl-
edge of the secretary of state and the
President.
The submission of this offer carries
out n plan which has been under con-
sideration for the last two weeks. The
first step was taken when NJ. Hutin
retired from the presidency of the
Panama Canal Company. This brought
about an entire change in the marage-
ment, the main feature of the change
being that those in authority desired to
make a definite offer of the Panama
properties to this government for $40
100000. There have been numerous
meetings at Paris with this end in
view, but the one which brought o
the final proposition was held yester-
day. II had been the intention to
make the offer through Edward Lam
pre-, secretary general of the company,
who is due to arrive at New York to-
morrow; but the meeting appears to
have taken a view that h offer

MINT FIGURES ON COLI
AND SILVER OUTPUT

Washington, Jan. 6-The preliminary
estimate of George Il. Roberts, director
of the mint, on the production of gold
and silver in the United States during
the calendar year 1901, indicates only
n slight gain Over the previous year.
The yield of Alaska fell off by about
S1.Ooo,0oO. Colorado made n slight
gain in gold, and the other producers
were nearly stationary. The yield of
silver exceeded that of the previous
year by about 100000 fine ounces.
The total number of ounces of fine
gold produced is shown to have been
3,SSO,oIS, of the value of SS0.21S.SOO
The number of fine ounces of silver
produced was 1868, TSS. having a COM
mercial value of S35, . ZOO. The coin
age value of the silver is approximate.

The plan for n penal colony for an
%nrchists, proposed or suggested by
Senator Vest. seems to meet the an
archist situation the most thoroughly;
besides there Is a poetical side to the
idea of letting the anarchists work
out their theories on themselves. A
fertile island, capable of yielding its
inhabitants "A bountiful living with an
average amount of labor. should be
chosen, and the anarchists should be
deported there and left to themselves
and their theories. In order that no
doubts might be raised as to their
having a fair show, the government
might support them for a year or two
N supply them with all the imple-
ments Of industry and the comforts OF
II high civilization. After such a Pc
riod, let them work out their own des-
tiny, the government only taking care
that no one should escape from the
island, 1t Is a safe conjecture that I'M
der such conditions the anarchists
would have their theories changed by
close experience with practical affairs;
they would come to learn respect for
government and to know that a gov
ernment by a majority is much prefer
able to a government by any one pos
sessed OF the greatest physical force.
