Issuance of Gold Certificates Expect
ed to Reduce Coinage

Washington, April 2O-WThether
the government will close or abolish
some of its mints is before treasury
officials. Secretary MacVeagh is
ready TO instruct the assay offices
and mints to begin issuing gold GER
tificates against gold bullion and for.
eisn gold coin AS soon as this be-
gins the coming of gold will practic-
ally stop. Nothing but smaller silver
coins and pennies will be made here
after, unless there is unusual demand
for gold coins, and it is estimated
the mints in San Francisco and
Philadelphia will fill the treasury's
needs.
A saving of several hundred thous-
and dollars a year will be effected.

will watch with interest the prog
ress of one OF the most important
cases that has ever been directed
to the attention of the court Of
claims, that of the Missouri, Kansas

United States government, which in.
wolves s61 ,2S7,O00. Joseph II. Choate,
former ambassador to Great Britain,
and one of the nations foremost law
yers, is appearing for the company.
The claimant seeks to recover the
value of certain lands in Oklahoma
which, though granted by the act of
congress of July %, 1866, were after
ward conveyed by the government
to other parties.
The act provided that whichever
Of three railroads tone of which
was the claimant should build a line
about $50 miles long through Kan
sas should have the right to build
through the then Indian Territory,
and a grant of odd sections of land
on either side of its line.
The claimant built the required
line and did all that it was required
to do. The government conveyed
the land in fee simple to the indl.
vidual Indians and others. and by
a series of later statutes closed the
courts to all persons who had claims
thereto adverse to the new grantees

clare the cessation of construction
work at Corey is due to the fact that
the farmers free list measure, in
troduced in the national house of rep
resentatives by Congressman Oscar
w. Underwood OF this district, pro
vdes for free admission into the
United States of hoop steel. barbed
wire fencing, wire rope, staples and
other products which it was planned
to manufacture al the Corey plant.
In the suspension of the coustruc
ton work at Corey is seen a direct
effort to force Congressman Under
wood to recede from his position. His
home is in Birmingham, where thou
sands of men are employed in the
steel industry. Already there is talk
of further application of the thumb
screws. 1t is suggested that the men
thrown out of work at Corey peti'
ton Underwood to assist in striking
out steel products from the proposed
free list, and that the chamber of
commerce and other business mems
organizatins call upon Mr. Underwood
to recede. So far the business men
have taken no action, and it is de
clared they have not become alarmed.
Mr. Underwood has shown no sign of
weakening.

Stone Makes War Speech.

Washington, April 2O.-A positive
declaration in favor of giving the
president authority to prevent a repe-
ttion of the killing of United States
citizens by Mexican belligerants was
made in the senate today by Senator
William j. Stone of Missouri, a Gem
oorat and a minority member of the
senate committee on foreign rela
tions.
Mr.. Stone commended the president
for sending United States troops to
the zone of disturbance, contended
for the right of the United States
to protect the lives and property of
United States citizens and condemned
the landing of the British bluejackets
from the Sheerwaters as an act of
war.
Congress-" he said, Should at
once and without delay authorize the
president to employ whatever force
may be necessary to prevent a repe-
tition of the bloody outrage commit
ted in Douglas, Ariz., and repetition
or which is threatened in FL Paso,
Tex.
His authority in this behalf should
be sufficient to warrant him in using
the military forces in whatever way
he might deem expedient and neces-
sary to accomplish the desired end,
even though it should lead to an in
trusion upon Mexican territory.
Moreover, if any act done under
this authority by the president for
the proper protection OF our own peo-
pie on our own soil should lead to hos
tile demonstrations against American
citizens, resident in the interior of
Mexico he continued the president
to use the military forces of the Unit
eG States If that is found to be neces
sary to protect the lives and liberty
of peaceful American citizens wher-
ever domiciled in any quarter of Mex
ico.
"If without fault of ours the Mexi-
can people themselves create condi
ton that makes it necessary for this
government TO assume an offensive
attitude. they cannot complain" he
said.

two democrats from North Carolina

based on the belief that reciprocity
with Canada under the agreement
would injure the agricultural inter

sentative Webb said that Claud
Kitchen, who opened the reciprocity
fight last Friday, had no right to
criticise him or other members of
the state delegation who proposed
to vote against the reciprocity treaty.
Mr.. Kitchen had accused him of
standing with the republican stand

with equal justice accuse Kitchen
of having worked with these same
republican leaders in the past

To Stop Needless Printing.

Washington, April Ex-senator
Gore offered resolution today by
which he seeks to save the govern

now expended for the printing of pri-

service to congress. The resolution
provides that hereafter the printing
of private pension bills shall be dis
pensed with unless specifically order
ed Senator Gore has figurged it out
that it cost $3.50 to print each BILL
and as there were 10000 private pen

$500 in the senate during the last
session of congress, the government is
needlessly wasting over 100000.

basement of the opera house. Soon
after the shooting occurred. a mob
was formed and search made for
the negro. Having been told of the
hiding place of the culprit, the opera
house was Immediately surrounded
and an entrance was forced. The
prisoner was demanded by the mob
and, seeing that resistance was use
less, the black was turned over to
the citizens of Livermore.
Methodically as by modern stage
the setting was arranged,
The negro was tied upon the stage,
the lights turned on and the over
ture which was played was the cock
ing of fifty weapons. The curtain
was rung up and at a signal from
the leader the body was riddled
with bullets.
