The Treasury Departments order clos
ing the New Orleans mint on July 1 is a
natural consequence Of the steady de-
crease in tho Treasury's coming activi-
ties. Silver dollars have not been minted
for several years. and Secretary Mac
Veagh has called halt on gold coinage,
finding it cheaper to carry gold in the
form OF bullion. There is no longer work
enough to keep all the minis busy.

Much must be pardoned to the "Novoe
Vremyas' chronic animosity against
things American. but even so we must
wonder at It's fantastic suspicion that
the American loan TO China covers a
sinister scheme for American political
intrlgues and conquest in Manchuria.
Any one who can believe that could be-
lleve anything.

BAITLESHIP
 BURIED DEEP
WRECK OF THE MAIN HAS PART ALLY DISAPPEARED IN MUD
 OF HAR6oR.
Bones of Four of Crew Found Near Overturned Coming Tower
 Work Proceeds Slowly.

H-vana. July 20. the wEter in
 the cofferdam surrounding the
 Maine has been removed showing the
 wreck embedded in the mud from an estimated depth of 37 feet around the after part of the vessel to an in- Ideterminable depth. That portion of the ship immediately forward of the lsnper structure which was demolish- led, has completely disappeared ex- cept for some jagged pieces Of rust
 ed steel protruding above the slime
 The engineers intend to begin ro- morrow the work of drawing out the soft mud by suction. Simultaneously they will begin the work of dissect- ling the great confused masses of
 metal. The bow section, represented by the plates and beams of the bot tom of the ship, now stands upwards
 of twenty feet high.
 A curious feature resulting from the removal of the water is that the Iamidships main deck and central SUD- |erstructure remaining practically lev- |el, constyate, in effect, a great canti- lever sustaining their own deight without any direct support. All the structural members of the ship be- |neath this section have been destroy Ied and the cavity has been half f:::- led with mud. The aft midships sec tion of the be rth deck, on which were the ward room and the officers state- rooms, is fully exposed, but almost |entirely filled with mud and espe- |cially on the port side, the removal
 of which will be slow and difficult.
 Hopes are entertained that in this Isection may be found the body of
 Assistant Engineer Merritt, who is believed to have been in his state room at the time of the disaster. Some of the fire scorched bones were discovered this afternoon in the vi- cnity of the overturned conning tower, where the remains of proD-
 ably four bodies were previously found.
 From present indications three or four months will elapse before the mud surrounding the wreck is remov- ed and all portion of the ship made visible.

 THERE.
French Capital Has Secured conces sion For Railway In
 State of Jalisco.

Mexico City, July 2O--As an indi- cation that foreign capitalists are not afraid to invest money in Mex- leo. notwithstanding the wide dlstri button of a few reports that anarchy exists, Minister of Finance Ernesto Madero today declared that plant were being made to establish in the republic three new banking houses.
 French capital will be behind ont proposed for Chihuahua; Spanish capital for one at Puebla and the third for which Mir. Madero stated a concession would be granted, will be backed chiefly by Berlin capitalists.
 An incident that has served to in- crease the optimism of the minister of finance was the call made at Ne yesterday by representa- tiyes of foreign syndicate, princlpai- ly French, who hold a concession to build a railroad ia tho state Of Ial- isco. These men stated that the syn dicate was prepared to begin work on the road at once. One of the terms of the concession, however, is that a bond issue is to be guaranteed by the state of Jaliseo and since the leg islature of that state is not now in session further delay is necessary. The men explained \to the minister that the syndicate was ready to pro ceed with the work as soon as the leqislature acted upon the question of the bond issue.
 Minister Madero professes to See no portentious significance in the little outbreaks at different parts of the republic and called attention to the fact that serious difficulties had been encountered in but two states, ~on- ora and Puebla. He expressed the belief that it would be but httie more than two weeks before the work of mastering out the balance ol the Maderista army would De com pieted.

|tail, the governments spokesman said the opposition instead of making as few changes as they could had made las many as possible.
 Say what i'll you please of the parliament bill," he exclaimed, "no- body can pretend that the change from an absolute to a suspensory ve- to is comparable in it's magnitude, its risks and possible danger to the
 death blow dealt by Lord Lansdowne
 to the prestige. authority and respon- lsibility of the house of commons. ]" Lord Boreley pointed out that the
 amendments took away from the
 house of commons the power of de- Iciding what was mercy bill and pro-
 posed to set up tribunal which
 could practically call, for dissolution whenever 1t liked.
 But" he said. the government has
 refused to make any compromise. Lord Lansdowne claimed the oppo- Isition had gone five sixths of the way towards meeting the govern
 ment, endeavoring to recast the bill
 so as to remove its worst objections and safeguard the country against nasty and i'll considered legislation. ldt was said the opinion of the coun- try had changed on the subject of home rule. If that were true why not give the people an opportunity of saying if they desired a change. Lord Lansdowne pronounced In favor of passing the third reading of the bill, saying that after what tine peers had done in passing the second read ing and In the committee stage 1t
 would make the house ridiculous in the eyes of the country If they re- fused to go on.
 The earl of Halsbury with choler llc vehemenoe pledged himself to force division on the motion for the adop- ton of the bill when it came back | from the house of commons unless | the peers amendments were accept | ed. He declared the way the gov-

STRANG
 MEETS DEATH
WELL KNOWN AUTO RACER KILL ED WHILE RUNNING FOUR
 MILES AN HOUR.
Hero of Many Reckless Speed Events Crushed to Death When Bank Gives Way and Machine
 Turns Turtle.

Milwaukee. Wis, July 20.-- Lewis Strange, we'll known automobile rac- ing driver, who has driven ears in various sections of the United States was instantly killed today near Blue River, Wis, while piloting the ma- chine of the Technical Committee on the Wisconsin Automobile Assoca- tion's annual Reliability run. The tour was from La Crosse to Lancaster la distance of about 12S miles. Early reports were to the effect lthat Strang was going along at good Ispeed when he encountered ap asslng lteam and in endeavoring to avoid lcollision the car plunged over an Iembankment, pinning Strang to the Iground. Later advices, however, in ldicate that the car was running at only about four mil1; an hour when a wagon was seen ahead going in the same direction. Strang turned aside but the soil suddenly gave way and his car slid down the embankment turning turtle and Strang reluctant to Jump, went under to his death. In the car with Strang were J. ". Tufts, Milwaukee,; Joe Jaergersber- ger and l.. A. Clark, of Lancaster, Wis.
 It is said the embankment was scarcely more than five feet high. In race at Kenosha, Wis, about IJjaTe iS. Ssfs;ss Stfrs hsei.s his arm and lit had not fully knitted when he Istarted on the state run that ended In his death. It is believed the
 weakness of this arm prevented him lfrom properly handling the car today.
 Strang first came into prominence
 when he won stock race at Sayan- lnah in 1908, although he had won a circular track race at Birminghams Ala, the year before. In 1908, he ai- lso won a road race at Lowell. Mass, land another a. Brighton Beach.
 Strang drove . Renault car In me First Grand priSc race at Savannah Ibut did not finish owing to trouble
 with his car.
 In 1900 he was winne~at Ormond Beach, maki.. 100 miles in 94 min
 utes. In fci0. on the Indianapolis Motor spssaw~ssss, s s:S made snarfsr lmile record of eight seconds, making ll19 miles an hour; one kiIometre, zz seconds: five miles in three minutes Il7 seconds.
 Strang was known as a consistent lroad race driver but differed from Imany drivers of the ultra consisting ltype in That at times he would show Ithe most reckless daredevil try to make q spurt and gain an advantage.
 Many of his fellow drivers have predicted Strang's end would come at lcn1r of these times of apparent reck- liessness. but instead he was slowly lcrushed to death under car that ltumbled down an embankment when Igoing only four miles an hour. He Twas 26 years old.
