Naturally. Mr.. Davidson was reticent
In explaining just why the syndicate Is
so generous. but from other sources the
truth was learned. Like all such syndi-
Gates. the members are after money. and

brick and pottery. and iron and other
ores They also have obtained thou

The representative of a syndicate pos
sessing more than 900 which It Is
willing TO spend In the construction OF
new capital of Wyoming, II the State
agrees to locate the proposed city on the
site selected by the financiers, is in
Washington. The visitor is Charles L.
Davidson. an assistant to Willis George
Emerson, the author. and a conspicuous
figure In the Western mining world.
The scheme proposed by the syndicate
is similar to that by which the fine capt.
tol building az Austin, Tex, was erected.
Mr.. Davidson is looking up some of the
national laws relating 10 the building OF
new cities much as ordinary mortals
build house. In describing what the
syndicate Is ready TO do Mr.. Davidson
said today:
''The syndicate is willing almost to du-
plicate what the Russians have done at
Dalny. the city at the Pacific end OF
the Trans-Siberian Railway. The Rus
slams constructed city capable Of hous-
ing a population OF nearly 200. 900 people.
Proposition of the Syndicate
The syndicate is willing to erect ey-
erything but the houses for the private
population in a similar city in Wyon-
ming.

law TO vote in 1904 for a permanent

Upon the part OF five powers-Ger-
many. France. the Netherlands. Mexico.

ment that the best method was TO BE-
gin the Issue OF the new currency at a
fixed gold par, while upon the part OF
Great Britain and Russia there was a
disposition TO favor beginning on

plying the country with uniform cur

there was agreement In all countries
except Russia In Russia the wisdom
