Secretary of the Treasury Tells
What Bryan's Election
Would Mean.
& WARNING- TO BUSINESS MEN.
Disaster Would Inevitably Follow
the Introduction of Hryar.lte Meth
ods In the Financial Mumiisi'mcnt.
One of the moat effective documents
that could be used in the Republican
national canvass, says a special dis
patch from Washington, is an inter
view with the secretary of the treasury,
who pointed out how Bryan, if he
should be elected president and should
adhere to the position he took in 1896,
could drive the government to a silver
basis, upset the public credit, destroy
public contidence, paralyze industry
and plunge the country into financial
ruin. In answer to the question, "In
case of the election of Mr. Bryan, could
he order his secretary of the treasury
to pay interest on coin bonds and the
matured bonds themselves in silver?"
Secretary Gage said:
"There is no doubt Mr. Bryan could
order his secretary of the treasury to
make payment in silver of all of the
RY GAGE
public debt payable in coin, and for
all current disbursements of the gov
ernment as well, which amount to
from $1,500,000 to $1,750,000 a day.
That he would give such an order, too,
is certain, if he is in the same mind
that he was in 1896, for he was then
quoted as saying: 'lf there is any one
who believes that the gold standard is
a good thing, or that it must be main
tained, I want him not to cast his vote
for me, because I promise him it will
not be maintained in the country longer
than I am able to get rid of it."
"Do you think it would be practica
ble to control a sufficient volume of sil
ver to make the payments you refer
to?"
"He would havp great difficulty in
doing that at once. The treasury of the
government at the present time is very
firmly established upon a gold stand
ard. Including the reserve of $150,-
000,000 held against the legal tender
notes, the government owns and con
trols over $220,000,000 in gold coin and
bullion, while it owns and controls
only about $16,000,000 in silver, the
rest of the silver being out in circula
tion among the people, either in the
form of silver certificates or silver coin.
CHECK INFLOW OF GOLD.
"The announcement by the treasury
department of its purpose to pay silver
In settlement of all interest on the
public debt not specially payable in
gold, and to make its daily disburse
ments to its creditors in silver, would
stop the Inflow of gold, or at least very
largely diminish payments in gold, and
correspondingly increase payments
into the treasury of silver and silver
certificates. It. therefore, might be an
ticipated that with a good deal of per
verse ingenuity, the time would come
at no distant day when all the revenues
of the government would be paid to it
in silver dollars or silver certificates,
and all disbursements made by it would
be made in silver dollars or silver cer
tificates. There would thus be estab
lished a circuit of silver out of the
treasury into the hands of the people,
from the people into the banks, from
the banks into the custom house and
Into the hands of the collectors of in
ternal revenue.
"The government, then, would be
practically on a silver basis, would it
not?"
"That would, no doubt, be accom
plished, and the government, properly
speaking, would be on a silver basis."
"How would this affect the credit of
the government?"
"Most disastrously, I have no doubt.
The movement inaugurated as pro
posed would give a sense of insecurity,
the outstanding grenbacks that are by
the law redeemable in gold would be
presented at the treasury for redemp
tion, and the treasury notes of 1890
likewise. Of these two there are $430,-.
000,000 outstanding. Against these th e
government holds, under the la\#,
1150,000,000 In gold. It does not re
quire much sagacity to see that if *.he
gold reserve were not entirely exhaust
ed it would be soon reduced below the
$100,000,000 mark, which the law has
established as a minimum, it being the
duty of the secretary of the trf asury
when that point is reached to i estore
the reserve to $150,000,000. Under the
adverse influence upon genera 1 busi
ness affairs business would soon be de
pressed, industry checked, .ind the
gevernment's revenues would be very
much diminished. Instead cf a sur
plus, we woulff probably witn ess a de
ficiency. In restoring the gold reserve,
to which I have Just referred, the law
directs the secretary of the treasury, If
necessary, to sell bonds, 'payable In
gold, redeemable in one year, payable
in 20 years, at a rate of interest not to
exceed 3 per cent a yeav. With the
Impairment to the public credit and
with the loss of revenue j, as just indi
cated, It Is very doubtful whether
bonds within the limitation of interest
permitted In the law c>>uld be sold. If
they could not, the power to redeem
the <Temand obligations of the govern
ment either in gold or silver would
fail."
"How would this state of things in
the government finances aftect general
business conditions throughout the
country ?"
"The effect wound be deplorable. No
body would be able to measure accu
rately the influence upon his own af
fairs of such government action. Every
.one would be in a state of fear; and
when people are afraid they will, as
some one has f;aid, either run or hide.
Commercial dullness would succeed the
present commercial activity, and we
would again witness that industrial
paralysis whfch characterized the years
1893 and 1896, when the question of
what was to be the standard agitated
the public mind."

Washington, Fept. 1. —Artjt. Cen.
Corbin has written a lotto: to Senator
Sewell, of New Jersey, a member of
the military committee of the senate,
setting forth in definite term.-? the at
titude of the war departnn ft on the
question of the army canteen. The let
ter is in substance as follows:
"The i-.klo ot' ai! spirituous liquors hy
the canteen is and has alw.iys been ab
solutely prohibited. Only leer and
light wir.es u' n ' uld to either officers or
men, find tl:«- only wht-n t!ie com
manding officer 'is satisfied that giving
to the troops the opportunity of ob
taining such beverage within the post
limits will prevent them from resorting
for strong intoxicants to places without
such limits, and tends to promote tem
perance and discipline among them.'
The canteen was established and has
been maintained in the interests of
temperance and betterment of discip
line, with most satisfactory results.
This is shown in fewer trials by courts
martial, in the decreased number of
desertions and in the improved health
of the men.
"The exchange is a co-operative
store where supplies are sold at cos'i,
or as nearly so as possible, for the ben
efit of officers and men of the army.
The canteen is a department of the ox
change constituting an enlisted men's
club. Rooms in or near the soldiers'
quarters are set apart for this special
purpose, furnished with reading mat
ter, billiard tables and other games,
but where every form of gamblin/j is
absolutely forbidden. It is where the
men write their letters home and read
the newspapers and magazines. The
government has no financial interest
whatever in either the exchange or
canteen, the funds being supplied by
the soldiers themselves. Almost every
company commander has reported in
favor of the exchange and canteen as
an effective temperance measure. One
thousand and nineteen comm/.ssioned
officers made special reuorts to
this effect. It may be proper /or me to
say that in the beginning I opposed
the canteen, but was brought to its
support by the overwhelming evidence
of its beneficent results upon the mor
ale, health and contentment of ths
service.
"As set forth in the report of Assist
ant Surgeon Munson, U. ?3. A., who,
under instructions of the war depart
ment made a careful investigation into
the effect of the canteen upon the
health of enlisted men, the result more
than met the expectations of those
most interested in the promotion of
temperance in the military service. He
further finds that the percentage of
desertion has been continually reduced
since the introduction of the canteen.
Prior to its introduction desertions
averaged from 10 to 12 per cent an
nually. Since its establishment these
have decreased to 2.9 'per cent. Further,
the number of trial?> and convictions
for drunkenness and offenses originat
ing therefrom, for the six years pre
ceding the canteen, was 372.5. This de
creased during the following six years
of its enlistment to 160.6. For the
seven years preooding the establish
ment qf the canteen the average num
ber of men who deposited their sav
ings with the government was 7,273.
For the seven j ears following its in
troduction the average has increased
to 8,382.
"It has been stated in the public
press that 'the receipts of the exchange
are nearly a' 1 for drink.' To meet
this statemer t I have to inform you
that the official reports of the depart
ment show t? lat the receipts from sales
of beer and light wines are and have
been less than one-third of the gross
receipts, Leing in 1808 five-seven
teenths, /in 1899 six-seventeenths.
Taking the amount of the gross re
ceipts on account of the sale of beer
and dividing it by the total number of
officers find men shows that each of
ficer and enlisted man for the year
1898 expended on account of beer only
20 cent s a month, equivalent to four
glassef , of beer per month, or less than
one g'lass a week apiece, for each of
ficer .'and man in the military service.
In 19 39 the expenditure on the part of
each officer and man reached an aver
age of 58 cents per month, or but 1.9
cents a day.
" These facts make it clear that in
comparison with all other citizens the
ar my of today i 3 the most abstemious
body in our own country. There is no
community of which we have any re
port or knowledge that will show so
/small a consumption of drink per
capita. This average should, in fact,
appear much lower, for the reason that
citizen employes, of which we have
taken no account, have the privilege of
purchase from the canteen. The num
ber of clerks, mechanics and teamsters
employed with an army in the field is,
as you know, very large. This num
ber, however, is not obtainable, but,
you will agree, would very materially
reduce the average of 20 and 58 cents
a month.

INSURGENT LEADER'S CRUELTY.
Genera I ('allies, In the Province of
Laiiuna, l*ut to Death the Officials
of the Town of Hue, Who Had
Keen Installed l»> the Americans.
Manila, Sept. 3.—The Filipinos seem
incapable of realizing the scope and
purpose of the legislative functions of
ihs commission of peace. There is no
possibility of separating the legislative
from the executive branches of the
government, and therefore the com
mission's announcement of its assump
tion of power has met with childish
comments at the hands of the Span
iards and Xorelgntrs, who Jealously
sn'jer at the new arrangement. The
cc aimisslon enters upon the govern
in ental field under the following con
ditions:
A majority of the Islanders desire
j/tace and the resumption of business
tinder the Americana, but they are so
•lowed by a long series of murderous
atrocities and destruction of property
by their armed countrymen that they
dare not actively show their feelings,
especially because experience has
taught them what such an expression
of sentiment will bring upon them
from the mercilessly revengeful rebels.
A genuine reign of terror is exercised
by insurgents and ladrones over peace
ful country folk in order to collect the
revenue and recruits their operations
require, and widespread vengeance is
wreaked in the vicinity of garrisoned
towns. For example, the insurgent
General Callles, in the province of
Laguna, put to death the presidente
and officeholders of the town of Day, j
on Laguna de Bay, officials who had
been installed by the Americans, and
gave orders that a similar fate should
be meted out to other adherents of the
American cause. He also ordered that
all Filipino soldiers who sold their
rifles to the Americans should be kill
ed.
A change of policy Involving the
withdrawal of the United States troops,
without substituting for them an ade
quate defensive force, is certain to re
sult in fearful retaliation at the ex
pense of the frlendlles. Ihe approach
ing patrlatlon of the volunteers tends
to Influence the situation unfavorably.
In northern Luzon the status quo is
fairly well maintained and the people
In that quarter are quiet and engaged
In planting, except in the provinc es of
Nueva Eclja and Bularnn, where there
has been a recent outburst of rebel
and ladrone activity. But In southern
Luzon conditions ar* far from satis
factory. Life ther* is not safe out
side the garrisoned towns. Travelers
are subject to ambush by guerrillas.
Rarely does a day pass without an en
counter between the United States
troops and the insurgents or ladrones,
resulting In casualties.
There are 18.000 troops in that dis
trict, Gen. Bates commanding, and in
three regiments over a third of the
men are sick. The activity of the
enemy Increased last month. There ts
evidence that the Insurgents have come
into possession «112 new rifles and that
they wish to annihilate small Ameri
can garrisons.
Twelve Americans, Including two
captains and two Untenants, have
been killed during the past two weeks.
The official reports of the encounters
In which these casualties occurred are
meager.
The commission will first organize
municipalities in the provinces, no
tably In Pampanga province. Substan
tially It will turn iU attention to need
ed reforms In the civil and criminal
codes, passing indue time to other
features of its instructions, with the
idea of establishing a central civil gov
ernment during the next 18 months.

Indianapolis, Sept.ll"ln my opin
ion there will be a strike in the an
thracite region of Pennsylvania, and it
will be the biggest that the United
States has ever known," said President
John Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers of America, today. Mr. Mitch
ell has just returned from a trip east,
during which he was present at the
convention of the miners at Hazleton,
Pa.
"The situation in a nutshell," he
continued, "is simply this: We hav«
formulated our demands for an ad
vance of about 20 per cent in wages
and the removal of certain conditions
that exist in the anthracite region.
Principal among these is that the op
erators. dealing with the miners, allow
3,300 pounds to a ton and in selling
coal sell 2,000 pounds for a ton.
sell 2,000 pounds for a ton.
"If the strike is ordered I believe
that 140,000 men will eventually come
out. I do not know just what per
centage of the anthracite miners are in
the mine workers' organization, but I
firmly believe that 75,000 men will quit
the first day our men are ordered out.
If the bituminous miners attempt to
supply the market for the anthracite
dealers we will be compelled to call out
all of the men in such mines as supply
this coal."
No Fear In the Hazleton ItfKlon,
Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 1. —A list of the
grievances of the United Mine Work
ers and copies of the scale commit
tee's report, which was adopted at this
week's convention held here, were sent
yesterday to the operators of the an
thracite region. There are doubts as
to whether the operators will grant the
demands of the men, or even recognize
the Mine Workers, and it is almost
certain that the national executive
board, which meets at Indianapolis on
Sept. 6, will order a strike. How many
men will go out if a strike is declared
remains to be seen. There seems to be
no fear in the Hazleton region that a
strike order will be effective. The busi
ness interests and many of the English
speaking miners are opposed to a
strike.

remain at work should a strike be or
dered. The operators will not treat

Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 1. —On ac
count of the failure of miners and coal
operators at Coal Creek to agree on a

tract with the miners was not signed
today, as has been the custom. The
miners decided to adjourn the con
ference until Sept. 10. On account of
this failure to agree all coal mines in
Coal Creek, Jellico, Middlesboro and
intervening points with the exception
of two or three are closed down. It is
not a strike, as both miners and oper
ators are hopeful of reaching an agree

are affected. The operators have re

who are in sympathy with the invita

denied the truth of the published state

The wrecked train consisted of ten
day coaches, and was the first section
of a large excursion made up of people
from Bethlehem, Allentown and sur
rounding towns to Atlantic City. This
section carried only those persons who
lived in Bethlehem and Allentown, and
left the Union depot in Bethlehem at
6:05 a. m., exactly 35 minutes behind
the milk train. The latter train con
sisted of two milk cars and two pas
senger coaches, and had stopped at
every station on the road from Beth
lehem en route to Philadelphia. At
6:54 the milk train drew up at the
milk platform at Hatfield, and in less
than two minutes the special excursion
train running at the rate of 35 miles
an hour, crashed into the rear of the
milk train. The locomotive ploughed
through the two passenger coaches
and crushed them as if they were egg
shells. The milk car Immediately in
front was also badly wrecked. Four
persons, Godfrey Kaelin, his daughter,
Mamie, Harold Landis and William
Blackburn, In the passenger cars of
the milk train, were almost instantly
killed. Fortunately there were very
few persons on this train.
The excursion train was a picture
of indescribable horror. The locomo
tive was a mass of bent and broken
iron, and firmly held the bodies of its
engineer and fireman beneath its great
weight. Behind the engine six of the
ten cars were also a mass of wreckage.
The first car was broken in twain, and
the other five cars were thrown on
their aides, completely demolished.
Nine persons were killed in the first
two cars, and the others in these
coaches were badly maimed.
As soon as the crash came a terrible
cry arose from the smashed cars, and
those who had not been injured quick
ly crawled or jumped from the cars
and went to the assistance of the in
jured. Many were pinned down by
wreckage and had to be freed by the
liberal use of axes. With three or four
exceptions the dead were killed in
stantly, the others dying on their way
to the hospitals. The injured were
first taken to a shed at the Hatfield
station, and the dead were removed
to a barn. Messages were sent to the
nearby villages for physicians, and a
relief train was telegraphed for from
Bethlehem. With 15 doctors and half
a dozen nurses, a special train wai
Bent from Bethlehem, but before it
reached the scene of the wreck it was
signaled to return to Bethlehem, as a
ppeclal carrying nearly all the Injured
had started for the hospital at that
place. On the run from Hatfie\d to the
hospital three of the Injured died.
Great trouble was experienced in keep
ing the relatives away from the in
jured on the train so that the doctors
gathered from near Hatfield could at
tend to the wounded.
The special train arrived at Beth
lehem at 11:30 and was met by fully
6,000 persons, all clamoring to get
some news of the wreck or trying to
learn hether loved ones were among
the victims. The news of the wreck
had reached Bethlehem at 8 o'clock,
and spread like wildfire. All the po
lice of the town were gathered at the
station, and It was with great difficulty
that the injured were removed to the
waiting ambulances and other vehicles,
Which conveyed them to the hospitals.
All during the day people from Allen
town, Catasauqua and other places
came pouring Into Bethlehem, and
confusion reigned throughout the day.
The second section of the excursion,
made up of persons from towns other
than Bethlehem and Allentown, left
soon after the first Bectlon, but was
flagged before it reached Hatfield. As
It could not get through on account
of the blocked, tracks it was returned
to Bethlehem, ana there was great re
joicing at the narrow escape of its oc
supants from the catastrophe.
The coroner of Montgomery county
visited the wreck early and spent the
entire day at the scene. He directed
the removal of the dead to Lansdale,
a short distance south of Hatfield. He
promises a rigorous investigation into
the horror.
There are conflicting stories as to
responsibility for the accident. One
version is that the engineer of the ex
cursion train had been warned at
Souderton, the station above Hatfield,
that a milk train was a few minutes
ahead of him. Another story is that
the train dispatcher's office in Phila
delphia was at fault. The trainmen
refuse to talk of the accident.
Fifteen hundred tickets had been
sold l.,i' the excursion to the seashore,
and it was to have been the last of the
season.
Wellington H. Rosenberry, of Lans
dale, a representative in the Pennsyl
vania house of representatives, was on
the milk train. He had his jaw broken
and was also internally injured. His
condition is serious.

Pretoria, Sept. 3.—Mr. Kruger and
Mr. Steyn have gone to Barberton. It
is believed that they are preparing for
flight. The general opinion Is that the
war is now very uear the end, but
should the Boers construct strongholds
In the bush, on the veldt or elsewhere
and begin a system of raids the E>»-it-
Ish would require further large sup
plies of horses.
Gen. Buller moved 14 miles north
westward along the Lydenburg road
and crossed Crocodile river to Badfon
tein. He found the Boers concentrat
ing in the Crocodile mountains.
A force of Boers under Commandant
Theron broke through the British
lines and captured and burned a sup
ply train at Kilp River station, taking
35 prisoners. Brabant's Horse pro
ceeded thither, recaptured all the pris
oners. and drove the Boers into the
hills.
Col. Pltimer dispersed a small com
mando under Commandant Pretorlus
east of Pir.aar's River, capturing 26
Boers, and a number of* wagons and a
quantity of cattle and rifles.
It is reported that Lord Roberts haß
issued a proclamation formally annex
ing the Transvaal to the dominions of
the British crown.
