Mr. rtlzpatilck sajs that in substance Sir Wilfrid's voluntary statements and annwers to qucrlce were as follows : "As a friend In whom 1 nm greatly Inter ested I nm very glad to see jou. but , frankly , as a representative of the federal or any local government In the United States , jour visit coulC not have been more untimely. When I received vour first let ter , 1 took up the matter with his excel lency , the governor general , nnd he cx- prresed a sincere dcslro to visit Chicago and seemed as nnxlnus to accept jour Invi tation as I waa.

"No , much as 1 regret It , I could not go to Chicago under present conditions nnd hhall certainly , however painful a duty It may bo , also ndvlse his excellency to decline the Invitation tint I know and feel has so kindly been extended to us by the city of Chicago.

The director ot the mint has nearly completed his esti mate of the world's production of gold for the year 1898. The data at hand seems to warrant the conclusion that the production will amount to at least $29-1,000,000 and pos sibly $295,000,000. Africa leads nil other countries , with $80,300,000 , with Australia second with $07,500,000 and the United States third with $6UGn.OOO. Uussla Is credited with $23,000,000 , Mexico with $10,000,000 , and Canada , Including the Klondike , with $14- 000,000. Of the $14,000,000 credited to Can ada In 1898 , about $10,000,000 came out of the Klondike and In the estimate ot the pro duction of the United States during the last year , $2,524,000 came from Alaska.

The syndicate managers of the Great Lakas Towing com pany are holding dally meetings hero In an effort to effect organization. They now find that though the matter has been pushed rapidly that there are a great many things to bo done before the organisation can be completed. The Intention is to Join under one management all the towing companies of the Great lakes , but the committee , sent out to purchase propeity failed to do In part and the piosent trouble resulted. So far there are three big companies which have not consented to enter the gcncial movement. They are the Dunhim Towing company of Chicago and the Majthan & Johnson Towing company of Buffalo. There Is evidence that these three companies will unite and buy In all the "wild" tugs on the lakes and enter Into actlvu opposition to the trust. The Great Lakes Towing com pany Is now trying to avoid this , and the discussion of plans U causing the present delay. The list of ofllcers had already been made out for the trust , but it Is likely ; o be altered to make room for one of the disaffected tug managers. The- list provides .hat Captain Jamea T.
