REPORT OF MINT DIRECTOR.
The Estimated Production OF Gold and
Silver In the United States
for 1901.

Washington, Aug. 26.-George E.
Roberts, director of the mint, has is
sued his final estimate of the pro-
duction of gold and silver in the
United States during the calendar
year 1901. Mr.. Roberts statement
shows that during the year the
United States produced 3,sO5, 800
ounces of gold, valued at SIS, 666, 700,
decrease of $5O4,3O or O.636 per
cent, as compared with the yield of
1900.
The silver yield for 1901 amounted
to $55,214,OOO ounces, of. the CONNER
cial value of $33, 12s, 400, which was
2,433,OOO ounces, or five per cent. less
than it was in 1900.
The total value of the precious
metals produced by the United States
in 1901 amounted to Sill, 795, 100,
which was 81, 1864, 100, or two per cent.
less than the yield for 1900.

STATISTICS ON ILLITERACY.
In the Cities Only Six Per Cent. Come I'm
der This Head, in the Rural Dis
tricts 3 Per Cent.

Washington, Aug. .26.-The census
office has issued a preliminary report
of illiteracy among men of voting
age in city and country districts in
the census year 1900. The report in
cludes under the term "illiterate''
those who can neither read nor
write, and also small number who
can read but cannot write. In the
United States as a whole; excluding
Alaska and Hawaii, the male popula-
ton at least 81 years of age and liv-
ing in cities having at least $4,000 in
habitants, was 5,Ss5,644, of whom
339, 223, or six per cent. were report
ed as illiterate. In the rest of the
country the number of men of voting
age was 15,24S,655, of whom 1,949,-
PAT, or 10 per cent. were reported as
illiterate.
These figures indicate that illit-
eracy among adult males is less than
half as prevalent in the large cities
as it is in the rest of the United
States. The difference, the report
says, is due largely to the fact that
the urban population of the country
is massed in the northern and west
ern states, and illiteracy is less fire.,
quent there than in other parts of the
country.

New York, Aug. pa cable from
Madrid says: All Spain is aghast over
the latest reports of the extraordi-
nary eccentricities of King Alfonso.
The details of his remarkable actions,
which are now becoming known,
cause the gravest fear that the ru-
mors of mental alteration are true.
During his recent provincial tour the
king repeatedly gave evidence of a
lack Of mental balance and almost
drove Gen. Pachc~ his chief attend
ant, frantic by b. actions.
While in Cabadonga the king visit
ed the shrine, which is one of the
most famous in Europe. After the
lie Deum" Alfonso said he was hun
cry and wanted something to eat
Gen. Pacheo explained that he must
first see the sacred relics. The bishop
of Cabadonga conducted his males
ty toward the relics and began an
explanation. The bishop showed the
king ST. Peters toe nail and ST. Paul's
hair. The king stopped him with:
"Say, bishop, do you believe that
nonsense?" The scandalized bishop
affirmed that he did. "Well, don't, %
replied Alfonso. "We have seen
enough; I'm going to dinner" With
which remark he marched off to the
dining hall.

opening the switch about half way.
The baggage car was thrown across
the tracks, but fortunately the pas
senger cars remained on the track.

ter Hannahan by the president, in
which he accepts the invitation we
extended few days ago in person
and he will surely be at the biennial

matter. 1t is quite significant, for it
is recognition of labor by the presi-
dent of the United States that we
must not lose sight of. We feel that
the presidents acceptance of our in
vitation and the assurance that he
will be present, will be. received
throughout the entire country with
feelings of satisfaction and delight.
Our friends and members will see
that a president is man, just like
one of u.s.

Mothers Noticed the Danger.

London, Aug. pa narrowing
holiday tragedy occurred yesterday
at Filey, watering place near Scar
borough. Five children, who were
playing on the sands, were cut off
by the infiowing tide and drowned
before their mothers, who were sit
ting on the beach, had noticed the
danger which threatened them. The
shore at the scene of the tragedy
was deserted and no boats were
available. The mothers of the chill
dren and others made heroic at
tempts at a rescue. The oldest child

seugers Badly Hurt Two or Whom May

Front Telescoped.

Kansas City, No., Aug. 2a.-An In
dependence avenue cable train DASH
ing down the Ninth street incline
leading to the Union depot, at 6:1o
o'clock last night, at speed approx
mating $50 miles an hour, crashed
into slowly moving red cable train
about 100 yards from the foot of the
incline, telescoped the rear car of
the red train, which was lifted clear
Of the tracks, killed one man, William
D. Taylor. the gripman of the run
away train, and injured IL persons,
passengers on the two trains.
The grip of the Independence ave-
nue. train evidently refused to re-
lease the cable at the Penn street
stop, and the car was pulled over
the summit of the hill at tremen-
dous speed, leaving the conductor,
Arthur Paulsen, behind at the Penn
street signal box. Taylor worked
his lever and the brake, but seemed
unable to get control Of the car,
which gained in it's fearful mo-
mentum as it proceeded. The people
residing on either side of Ninth
street west of Penn mingled startled
screams with those of the passen-
gers and the gripman changed his
bell and shouted Justify to the train
men of the Ninth street train, which
was just in front of him, urging them
to release the rope and dash down
the incline ahead of the runaway
train.
The passengers of the train in
front quickly realized the danger
and joined in the shouts and screams.
Many jumped from the train and
others ran from the rear to the for
ward car. Several of the passengers
of the Independence avenue cable
train jumped as the cars sped down
the incline, but number remained
in their seats until the cars crashed
together about 300 feet from the en-
trance to the terminal shed at the
depot, and just as. the forward cable
train had passed within the limits
of the steel Ordered superstructure
of the viaduct over the depot yards.
