CARLYLE HONOREO.
Portrait Of Colorado Professor Given
to Club In Chicago.

Chicago.-The portrait of Dean
William Levi Carlyle OF the Colorado
College of Agriculture. for which his
friends subscribed nearly 5000, was
formally presented to the Saddle and
Sirloin Club Thursday night by Fred
p. johnson. editor of The Denver Daily
Record-Stockman, and director of
farmers institutes in Colorado. 1t was
accepted for the club by Vice Presi.
dent Alvin II. Sanders OF the Interna.
tional Exposition.
Dean Carlyle gave a banquet ut the
club for about forty students In the
Colorado College. who are here with
him attending The show. and in their
presence and that OF many prominent
stockmen the painting was presented.
The Colorado dean bears the dis.
tinction of being the youngest man
who has ever held the position of dean
of an agricultural college in America.
The idea OF hanging the painting OF
Dean Carlyle originated with Prof. C.
J. Griffith, now one of the largest feed
ers Of sheep and lambs in Colorado.

NEWS FROM THE MINES and MILLS
Rise in Price of silver.


The predictions made by Ores and
Metals of 65-cent silver trifle over
two years ago have been fulfilled. The
increase has been such as to puzzle the
many. Notwithstanding the fact that
number of nations, notably Mexico,
have demonetized the white metal very
recently, the price has steadily as
cended. 1t has not been an increase
due to decreasing production. AS
matter OF fact the production of silver
Is greater to-day than was the case at
the time our prediction was made, a
trife over two years ago.
This result was not difficult to fore
cast. The uses to which silver Is put
have steadily increased. There has
been n rage, one might say, for solid
silverware and plate goods, extending
over nearly all classes of society in
many of the highly-civilized nations of
the world. This demand caused
sharp advance, following Immediately
the call from Oriental countries for ad-
ditional bullion to be melted into coin.
The development of China, the opening
of Manchuria, the increased trade in
the Straits Settlement, together with
the demand in India, always greater
from year to year, has been the cause,
i
themselves. few years ago, and have
crystallized into the present form. The
demand for silver in the arts is greater
than was ever anticipated.
1t was thought by some that the pre-
diction of 65-cent market was wild and
venturesome. The fact that it has been
reached has upset The calculations of
financiers everywhere. The Philip
pine dollar is worth more than its face
value at the present market price of
silver. The Mexican dollar. which it
was thought there would be some diffi-
Guilty in maintaining at 80 cents in gold,
has value that cannot be changed at
the present time except it be to en-
hance its value. The increased de-
mand from all sources for monetary
purposes and for the arts will doubtless
cause the price of the white metal TO
go even above the G5-cent mark. IL
would not be surprising to witness the
sale of the white metal at 20 cents
within another twelve months. II is
not unreasonable to expect an advance.
The fear of a deluge of silver is not
well founded. The mere fact that the
dollar of the Philippines. which they
attempted to hold at the 50-cent mark.
is worth more than its face value. will
the value of the white metal. since it
is historical fact that in the past
where such has been the case the coin
has always been thrown into the melt
ing pot.-Ores and Metals.

WANT FREE TRADE.
Democrats Object to Tariff on Philip
pine Goods.


Washington.-The view of the
minority members of the ways and
means committee on the Philippine
tariff bill were filed in the House by
Representative John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi, the Democratic floor
leader. The Democrats offer a substi-
tute declaring for absolute free trade
between the Philippines and the
United States, including Hawaii and
Porto Rico. but add that if their sub
stitute is voted down. they will sup
port the Republican bill. as it 'is n
long step in the logical and right direc-
tiOn."
The report says:
'The members OF the minority of
the committee on ways and means be-
lieve that the anomalous and prepos-
ferrous status of the Philippine islands,
by which they are treated as American
territory for certain purposes and as
foreign territory for certain other
puposes--cannot long be maintained
and should be Immediately terminated.
"At present, according to the whim
of Congress or the executive, they are
considered as American or foreign, or
as both American and foreign, or as
neither American nor foreign.
I'm justice to both the Filipinos and
ourselves they should be considered
as altogether Americans OF altogether
foreign.
so long as we retain them we favor
the establishment and maintenance of
free trade between them and the
United States.
THE party which we in part repre-
sent desires to get rid of them at the
earliest practicable moment and we
welcome the dissatisfaction of the
hitherto legislatively favored classes,
growing out of the competition of the
products of Philippine labor with our
own products in our own market as a
possible moving cause to govern
ment divorce between the Philippine
archipelago and the balance of the
United States.''
