MAY BUY THE HoMEsTAkE.
The Rothschilds Trying to Purchase
the Famous Mine.

Deadwood, S. d. Sept. 16.-The
Rothschilds of London are trying TO
purchase the Homestake, the greatest
gold mine in the world.
They have made two offers, one sew
eral months ago of $25,000,000, and the
second a few days ago of $35, 900, for
the property. The owners are holding
out for $50,oO0.oo0, and feel certain OF
getting their price.
A representative of the Homestake
property, Percy Ford, started for Eng
land to confer with the Rothschilds
last Saturday. He will sail from New
York on Wednesday. Mr.. Ford has
been some years in q confidential po-
sition with the Homestake and is held
in great esteem by the mining people
of this section.
Several months ago representatives
of the English bankers met officials OF
the Homestake In New York and made
the offer of $25,000,Q00. which was
promptly refused.
For several days prominent resident
officials and stockholders of the Home
stake have been aware that the second
proposition had been made. Yesterday
the report that had gained currency
about the Black Hills was confirmed

PRINTING OFFICE REFORM.
It May be Placed Under & !. Depart
nent of Labor.

Washington, eSpt 21.-President
Roosevelt has decided to recommend to
congress the transfer of the govern
ment printing office to the jurisdiction
of the department of commerce and
management of this establishment
which has been in progress for some
time, Secretary Cortelyou has secured
a mass of evidence which has convinced
the president that radical reforms
should be inaugurated there at once.
1t has been found that the cost of
conducting the establishment is beyond
reason. This data, will, it is said, con-
vince congress OF the necessity of the
necessity of placing the printing office
under one department.. Under the
present plan each department calls on
the public printer for it's work, and this
method results in extravaganza. An
other reason for the excessive cost OF
operation is the dictation of the labor
unions of the amount of work to be per-
formed by their members.
Extravagant expenditures were dis
covered during the investigation con-
Quoted at the instance of Assistant
Foreman Miller, who was dismissed
because he was expelled from a labor
union and was later relnstated. Miller
declared than the cost OF the work IN
the bindery was excessive, and pointed
out there was room for Improvement
thruout the entire establishment. The
investigation substantiated Millar's
sands of dollars are wasted in the man
agement of the office.

PALMA AT Ell cANEY.
President Urges cubans to Guard
Ideals Gained From Americans.

Santiago, Cuba, Sept 21.-Speaking
Sunday at the village of Ell Caney,
close to the scene of the battle between
the Americans and the Spaniards,
Persistent Palma urged the Cuban
people to jealousy guard the Ideals
they had obtained by means of inter-
ton.
The presidential party were enthusi-
asticaHy received on their arrival at
Ell Caney. The alcalde having re-
marked that the gathering was mostly
composed of veterans, President Palma
assured them he wanted to pay the
army as badly as anybody. because the
payment was only an act III justice,
but was necessary to the reconst true
ton of the country. Nobody loved Gu
ban independence more than himself,
continued the president The only way
10 sacrifice the republic would be to
bring about a civil war. He believed
there was not one veteran in thou
sand who would not prefer to maintain
the honor of Cuba even to the extent
of FORGETTING his soldiers pay. The Gu
bans having accepted United States
Intervention as means of ending their
troubles, were under an obligation to
follow those ideals and prove them
selves a peaceabie people.
Speaking of the appearance of the
band of insurrectionists near Santiago.
President Palma condemned the hidden
instigators of the uprising. The al
calde declared that no one within two
lea CUES of Ell Caney had Joined the
band.
