Where the Guild Goes.

Egypt is having boom, and that
explains in part the old my stery where
all the gold goes to. There is a crazy
land speculation in Cairo, the cotton
crop is increasing at good prices, the
area of arabic land is increased by
the new Nile dam, rain is more COM
mon from the same cause. And gold
is being boarded in the oriental way
usual when times are good. A con.
sular report says that nearly $4,000,
900 was sent from London recently.
but it has all been absorbed. The sell.
ers of the cotton crop have the money
boarded in their houses. The gold
beaters' bazaar is crowded all the time
and it is estimated that each week
many pounds sterling in gold coin are
melted or beaten into bracelets, neck.
laces and chains. That gold is always
boarded in Egypt is proved by the
fact that some George III. sovereigns
sre coming into circulation.

FeatS With a Lash.

Fred Lindsay of Melbourne, who
served through the recent Boer war
with the First Victorian Bushmen, was
trained on cattle stations in New
South Wales and Queensland, and in
the search for some means of amuse-
ment in the loneliness of camp life out
there he turned to the 18-inch whip
with 24-inch lash, used in controlling
the more or less wild cattle Among
the feats he performs are the ex-
tinguishing of lighted candle by a
flick of the whip; the use of the lash
as lasso in order to trip UP a man;
the disarming of person, revolver in
hand, and the cutting in half of a
cigarette while actually being smoked
In each case the trick is performed
from distance of twenty-five feet, and
the lash of the whip used is made from
sixteen strands of tanned kangaroo

would provoke an assault.

CORTELYOU tt STAY
REPORT OF RESIGNATION WAS
MADE OF WHOLE CLOTH. :
STORY OF QUARREL WAS FALSE
The Secretary Of the Treasury Hopes
to Win Nomination by His
Wise Inactivity.

Washinton-Secretary Cortelyou has
not resigned and does not intend to.
He has not had a quarrel with the
president and is not likely to have
one.
His relations with Secretary Taft
and other members Of the cabinet
are entirely cordial, and will surely
continue so. &.
He is not an avowed candidate for
the presidency. The president has not
informed him that he could not be
such a candidate. His entire liberty of
political action has been repeatedly
recognized both by, President Roose-
welt and Secretary Taft.
The secretary of the treasury has
been an extremely sick man, and he
is still far from well. He has been
absent a great deal from the treas
ury department, but has attended ev-
cry cabinet meeting when he was
able to be out of the house.
The president and the secretary de-
nounce as absolutely untrue the sto-
ries printed Friday morning that Sec
rotary Cortelyou had retired from the
cabinet in a huff and was about to
accept a position under Pierpont Nor
gan.

New York-Reports of Secretary
Cortelyou's resignation from the
Roosevelt cobinet, published in
more or less emphatic terms Wednes-

with equally positive denials at Wash

Despite these denials, which many
regard as merely diplomatic" the

1T can be stated on the highest pos

Additions continue to be made to
the national forest reserve. One of
the latest is in Arizona, where Presi-
dent Roosevelt through a proclama-
ton has ordered two tracts to be in
cluded in the Prescott area, making
in all 1,063,0 900 acres in that .reserva-
tion. The additions are notable be-
cause OF their richness in white-pine
timber, of which there are said TO be
about 100000 board feet. That
class of timber is becoming notably
scarce, and the governments effort
at protection will have most salutary
effects.
