(By the Associated Press


Copenhagen, Dec. 26.-The worst gale
of many years visited Denmark Christmas
night and this morning, and has done
enormous damage to property and ship
ping. The telegraphio and railroads SER
vices have been interrupted and delayed.
1t is unsafe to walk the streets of Copen-
hagen owing to falling tiles, etc.
Some streets were closed to traffic to
avert this danger. The hospital reports
show that several persons were killed and
many sustained injuries in the city. The
pillars holding up the overhead trolley
lines were blown down and the street
cars service was stopped
Many houses have been unroofed and
some mills and factories have been partly
destroyed.
The water in the sound rose suddenly
nearly as high as it did in the great flood
of 1872. Several ships dragged their an
chors and collided or were sunk in the
outer harbor. The ferry service between
the Danish Island and Sweden has been
forced to stop. The gale was accompanied
by thunder and lightning. kilograms
received here from the provinces report
enormous damage to property through
out Denmark Two boats have been
wrecked off Elsinore and eight persons
were drowned. Eleven men of the crew
including Captain Tobiason, were drowned
in the wreck of the Norwegian bark c. s
Penny which went ashore at Scaw. The
Penny will be a total wreck and her cargo
is washing ashore. Only one OF hel
crew was saved There was also a Sc

Bryan Talks of Silver in Mexico.
(By the Associated Press.)

Mexico City, Dec. 26-The papers all
comment on the arrival of w. ]. Bryan
here, but it is understood that his visit
is merely one of pleasure and recreation,
he being accompanied by his wife and
children.
Talking on the silver question, Mr..
Bryan said:
while India has suspended the coin
age of silver, she still uses silver as her
money and England coins a large number
CT rupees annually for midas needs. III
Mexico were TO adopt the gold standard
it would reduce still further the price
of silver, and if Mexico, in spite of being
a large producer of silver, were to dis
card that metal as the standard money IL
is not improbable that India and China
might be led by the same influence to
do the same thing. While this is only
speculation, it is a possibility that must
be considered; an addition of seven run
dred million of people TO the present
gold using population Of the world would
cause an enormous demand for gold over
and above the present demand. NO one
can estimate accurately the effect OF
such a demand on the purchasing power
of gold, but it could hardly fail ma
terially to reduce prices and enhance the
value of money and fixed investments. y
Mr.. Bryan proposes to make trip TO
Toluca capital of the State of Mexico
where Governor Vallada, warm per-
sonal friend, is chief magistrate.
Mr.. Bryan was received by President
Diaz this afternoon. The interview was
very cordial, but of a purely personal
character.
