Do not mistake by supposing this a stift unyielding garment
the material from which the matchless "flexibono" stays
are made is so elastic , so yielding to every movement that the

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Aug 4 P
W. ntzpatrlck of the Treasury de
partment has Just returned to Washlngtor
from Ottawa , whcro he went nt the Instance
of the committee of citizens of Chicago In
chirgo of the ceremonies ot laying the
corner stone of that cltj's great postofilcc
building next October by President Me-
Klnley , to arrange for the formal Invitation
from Chicago's citizens to the governor-
general nnd cabinet of Cautda to pirtlclpatc
In these festivities
Mr ritrpatrlck Is the asslstint United
Stiles architect under Architect Henry Ives
I'obh for the Chicago building To an Asso-
dated Press representative he admitted thai
hlo ofTlcUt reception was slightly chilly , Sit
Wilfred Laurlcrvery candidly telling him
that under the present conditions It w ulil
bo Impossible for him to accept , or even
to consider any social Invitations to this
side of the border.
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. We would hnvo been de
lighted to go and were looking forward to
the day with anticipation. But slnco the
tone of jour press has become so harsh In
dealing with the Alaskan boundary ques
tion , mich misrepresentation have been
.1. ' made about our government and particularly
. . nbout me. that It would be undignified for
us to visit jou and I cannot advias his ex
cellency to go. "
Mr. ritzpntrljk said that Sir Wllfild inti
mated that In the picscnt state of public
feeling In the United Stale" , as Indicated In
the press , It would not be cnllicly safe for
the governor general and himself to visit
Chicago , as ho feared Hint they might In a
great gathering of such n character a- ? the
Chicago ceremony be subjected to some un
pleasantness or Indignity by thoughtless per-
feona Sir Wilfrid expiciwed hlmrclf ns
strongly In favor of arbitrating the Alaskan
boundary dispute and concluded the Inter
view as follows.
"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. "
Mr rit/patrlPk secured Sir Wilfrid's
piomise , lioncv or , to reconsider the matter.

WASHINGTON. Aug 4. In Influential
Catholic quarters heio there Ic much Inter
est In the progress of the plenary council
of the clergy from South an 1 Central Amer
ica , which haa been In pi ogress at Rome
for homo tlmo anil Is nbout to close. The
prelates hive a lileiarchy entirely distinct
from that of the United States. It is an
Inllucntlal body In many respects , ns the
church IH clrnoly related to the government
in many of the South and Central Amcili.au
countries.
The meeting In Rome biought together ill
the high church dignitaries from all thqso
countries , The sebBlons Iwvo been sscrel ,
but the uadorstandlng hero Is that the final
rcpoit In nhoiit-to bo made and that the re
sults will then reach the public.
It Is said that a misapprehension exists
oa to the authority which Spain rxercut-a
over Catholic affairs In the Spanish-Amor- !
can countHes This authority was tcrmln-
natod many years ago and today the South
and Central American clergy have theli own
hierarchy , distinct nnd Independent In each
republic nnd without nny bonds whatever
to Spain. It la not Impossible that the
council will -consider the status of the church
In Cuba nnd Poito Rico , ns this is In rather
an anomalous condition elnco the Spanish
authority has boon terminated nnd the
church affairs In these Islnnls have not
been brought under the direction of the
hierarch ) in the United Staten.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 4. 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.
In J8)6 ! ) and for nearly fifty years pre
viously the United States occupied the first
place In tbo world's production of gold. In
that year the output of the world was esti
mated at $202,082,000. These figures are sub
ject to revision In making up the final es
timate , but are believed to be approximated.

these bonds having been purchased at * a low

are mostly small capitalists , are well satis

money. It has been Impossible at times to
supply the active European demand for
Mexican silver securities , which represent
what U called the Internal debt. Bankers

of the agents making the payments , the

INDIANAPOLIS , Aug. 4 H. II. Hanni
chairman of the executive committee of thi
monetary convention , has returned from i
Bojourn In the east , a part of which wn
spent In consultation with members of th <
senate finance committee at Nairagansel
I'ler. Mr. Hnnna expressed himself ns on
tlrcly satisfied with the prospects for flnan
clal legislation at the next session.
"Tho bill agreed upon , " Bald he , "bj
the caucus committee of the house nt At'
Inntic City Is wisely conservative and I an
sufficiently familiar with the general prln *
clplcs upon which the senate committee li
working to express great satisfaction ovui
the outlook for very Important gold stand'
ard legislation during the ne\t tesslon o
congress. I have excellent ground to bo-
Hove that the majority In both houses \\ll
agree In shaping and enacting a law con-
elstcnt In a broad way with the pledge
offered the people in the money plank ol
the St. Louis platform. Those who advo
cated and worked for sound money thcr
hnvo been compelled by the existing condi
tions In congress , with the silver majorltj
In the senate , to wait long for the fruition
of their labors , but I am eure they will be
greatly pleased with what we all believe
to bo the first and most Important step In
the icvlslon of our money laws. Those vvhc
believed in the good faith of the St. Louis
deelaiatlon will not be disappointed. I nm
confident that we shall have a law estab
lishing the gold standard , with such sup.
plementary legislation ae Is necessary to
maintain the parltj ot all our forms ol
money. "
TOWING ON THE GREAT LAKES
Companies nnprnReil lit the Trnlllc
Meet Sciloiin Olintnelcn In nn
. ' Attempt 1o Combine.
CLEVELAND , 0. , Aug. 4. 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. Davison of West Hay
City shall bo president , T. r. Newman gen
eral manager of the Buffalo Cleveland
Transport company , secretaiy-treasurer , and
iV. r. Collier of the Vessel Owners of Cleve-
and general manager.
It Is expected the meeting will get to
the point of electing officers In a few days
