Suffering Silver
The White Metal Without Official
Friends in the Philippines.

Manila, Nov. 23.-Silver has
suffered further decline in value.
Tho government has issued a
proclamation making the official
rate 260 for 100 gold, the for
mer rate was $50.
The possibility of the adoption
by the Straits Settlement of a
gold standard and the reports cur
rent that Mexico is about to
abandon the silver standard has
greatly weakened the Indian and
Asiatic silver market.
The fact that American trade
in going to China and the losses
in silver are seriously affecting
the insular treasury and business
interests generally. The rapidly
changing rates embarrass the
business houses. Native officials
are beginning to petition for the
payment of their salaries in gold,
and the demand for fixed table
currency Is universal.

Attack on Masonry by Preacher
who Admitted his Ignorance.

Special to the State.
Laurens, Nov. a. During the
course of his sermon yesterday at
Poplar Springs, a Baptist ,church
III the western part of the country
the Rev. II. G. Paddock, pastor,
took occasion to ridicule and de.
nounce Masonry in no uncertain
terms. He is reported by those
who heard him as saying that the
idea of Masonry being founded on
the teachings of the Holy Bible
was utterly absurd and myth.
When the preacher made this
statement he was promptly called
down by one or two of his audit,
ors and Masons of prominence.
The incident created much confu-
sion and excitement. MIR. Had
dock afterwards admitted that he
was no Mason and what he knew
on the subject was gathered from
books and observation. He was
reported at Liberty for a similar
attack.

badly be followed by reaction,
but on all hands it is thought
that a new and permanent mini

RAILROAD locomotives may be
profitably built in Nebraska, as is
proved beyond dispute by the re-
cent action of the Burlington in
placing an additional order for en-
CINE construction at the Havelock
shops. The order is for six of the
class *" type, and it follows the
construction at the same shops of
large number of engines. For
this last order, as for others placed
at the Havelock shops, there was
sharp competition. Each engine
means an outlay of between $4,000
and $4,000, large part of this
sum being paid out for labor.
Some of the fastest engines in the
service of the Burlington were
built at Havelock. They compare
favorably with new machines re-
ceived during last year from
eastern works, and their records
are said to be equal to the best.

severe shaking up ever known in
the West.
The employees on all divisions
are realizing the new regime is the
strictest Colorado has yet had.
There is, consequently, considera-
BILE kicking along the line among
those holding petty positions.
Several rather severe suspensions
and penalties for violations of rules
have aroused protests
Generally speaking, however, the
employees realize that the recent
changes of management will serve
to bring the road up to higher
condition of operation than hither-
to, and they approve the new poll
cy. In every department of the
railway from Denver to Salt Lake
the firm hand of Manager j. M.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.
.~~~~~

The smallest vertebrates hitherto
known have been several species
of little fishes in the Southern
states, the shortest being some
what less than an inch in length.
A new species of goby-to be
known as Mistichthys luzonensis-
is reported from Lake Buhi, in
southern Luzon, and is even small
or, its average length being only
about half an inch. A surprising
fact is that this tiny species is a
food-fish of some importance.
Great numbers are caught in the
lake, and, with peppers or other
spiced herbs, they are priced by
the natives.
Whether all rays of light and
other physical rays are, or are not,
