Dollars.


Dollars.
The monthly statement Of the public
debt shows that at the olosse of bust
ness December 80, 1905, the total debt,
less cash in the treasury, amounted to
$685., 869, 71S, which is a decrease COM
pared with December ], 1905, of $4,-
4sS,11S. This decrease is largely ac-
counted for by corresponding increase

maturity, $780, 1886; debt bearing

284, $50, 091. This anoudt, however,
does not include 81 oil 1897, 1859 in GER
tificates and treasury notes outstand-
ing which are Offset by. an equal
amount of cash on hand which is held
for redemption. The cash in the treas
ury is classified as followss:
Gold reserve, $3.50, 900, QUO; trust
funds. 81 oil, S97, 1853; general funds,
$17S, 0S6 ,024; in national bank depos-

GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION,
Great Gain in United States over Last
Year.

Great Gain in United States over Last
Year.
The preliminary estimates of the di-
rector of the mint upon the production
of gold and silver in the Unitedl States
in the calendar year 1905 show gain
of approximately $40, 900, 900 in gold
and 900, 900 ounces in silver over the
product of 1904. The gain in gold is
almost entirely represented by the in
creased output of Alaska, the product
of which is placed at STA, $50, 100,
against SO, 100, 500 in 1904. The Alas
ka gain is nearly all in the TEaana dis
trict, the returns for which are $5,-
1O7 900. California shows a loss of
about 81 500, 900, due, it is said, to Sc
we're drouth, which mot only brought
hydraulic operationes to standstill,
but interfered with quartz mills to
some extent. Nevada shows gain of
about $500 900, and Utah as much.
Colorado gained about $1,000, 900;
South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Ore
gon and Arizona are estimated at
about the same as in the previous
year. The Klondike continues to fall
off, and is about $4,000, 900 below
1904. Washington shows 1858, 800 II
gold and about $40, 900 in silver.

LONDON PAPER WANTS DUTIES

Advocates Preference for Canadian
Wheat in England.
London, Jan. 10.-The Morning Post,
in long article discussing the fiscal
points out that retaliation
alone will be practically a useless
weapon against the United States
and the other protective countries. To
be effective, the paper says, retaliation
must be combined with colonial pref
erence. 1t adds that with the help of
Canada a so cent duty on foreign
wheat would turn every wheat grower
in the western part of the United
States into an opponent of the McKin'
ley tariff.

RUSSIA CHRISTMAS.
SUNDAY PASSED QUIETLY. The
CHURCES LARGELY ATTENTED.
Even the Radical Newspapers in St
Petersburg Silence Their Guns
Count Witte Is optimistic-Ae Says
the Empire VIII Emerge From the
Present Crisis ReiuVenated.

st. Petersburg, Jan. Slime snow
sitting down from cold sky furnished
ideal weather for the Russian Christ
mas so far as st. Petersburg was con.
cerned. All the theateTs and other
places of amusement, even the res
taurants, were closed, and the day was
given up to the prOverbial Russian
hospitality. The discussions which
have torn and distracted the country
seemed to have disappeared for the
moment and even the radical newspa-
pers, animated by the sentiment Of
peace and good will to all, silenced
their guns.
The day passed quietly and without
untoward incident. The religious serv-
ices in the churches were largely at
tended.
At the palace at Tsarkoe SelO the
emperor himself presided at the
Christmas tree. Later, accompanied
by the imperial children, his majesty
visited the quarters of his imperial
Cossack escort, to the members, of
WHICH AU ulOIIlUulSu DIO66ulS..
interviewed by the Official Tele-
graph agency, Count White declared
that he did not believe the reports
that Germany would resort to an. ag-
gressiVe policy in the Moroccan con-
ference at Algeciras. Throughout EN-
peror Williams remarkable reign he
said, Germans policy had been con-
sistentiy pacific. He believed it would.
remain so, and that the conference
would terminate without any untoward
incident, particularly between France
and Germany. 1t was his belief that
rumors to the contrary were, spread
for the purpose of influencing the
bourses.
Turning to the situation in Russia,
Count White protested ag inst what
he characterized as the unfounded and
sensational reports spread i'm the for
eign press and expressed the convic..
ton that Russia would emerge from
the present crisis rejuvenated. He con-
cluded by declaring that france con-
tfnued to display toward Russia senti-
ments of friendship and good will, with
Russia reciprocating.
According to the Novoe Vremya the
revised budget, as submitted to the
emperor, makes the revenues for 1906
$1,014,00O,OOO, as against $1,027 100000
for last year. The expenditures are
estimated at 81 ZOOS, 100000, as against
$1,200,000,00O for last year.
The dowager empress of Russia is
purchasing a beautiful estate in Den
mark with a view to a lengthy resi-
dence, but the rumor that has been
in circulation that she will not return
to Russia is without basis.

the Erie railroad trestle at Denmore
Saturday afternoon. Mrs. William Vim

ploye, was struck by an extra Erie
passenger train, cut in several pieces
and hurled from the bridge.
The woman was coming from the
country with two little sons. She car
ried one in safety across the trestle,
and turning saw the other start
across to her. At the minute she saw
the train bearing down around the
curve. She rushed across the bridge,
but the little boy saw the danger and
rushed back to the other end of the
bridge and tumbled down the cinder
bank to safety. The woman was half
way across when struck. She was
soon to become a mother.
