¥ It Interferes With Laurier’s Visit to Chicago WHAT MB. FITZPATRICK REPORTS Bis Reception by Canadian Authorities a Little Chilly—Told that HI* VUlt Could Not Have Been More Untimely— Arbitration for the Boundary Question Favored. WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—F. W. Fitz patrick of the treasury department has just returned to Washington from Ottawa, where he went at the instance of the committee of citizens of Chi cago in charge of the ceremonies of laying the corner stone of that city’s great postofilce building next October by President McKinley, to arrange for the formal invitation from Chicago’s citizens to the governor-general and cabinet of Canada to participate in these festivities. Mr. Fitzpatrick is the assistant United States architect under Archi tect Henry Ives Cobb for the Chicago building. To an Associated Press rep resentative he admitted that his official reception was slightly chilly, Sir Wil fred Laurier very candidly telling him that under the present conditions it would be impossible for him to accept, or even to consider any social invita tions to this side of the border. Mr. Fitzpatrick says that in sub stance Sir Wilfred’s voluntary state ments and answers to queries were as follows: “As a friend in whom I am greatly interested I am very glad to see you, but, frankly, as a representative of the federal or any local government in the United States, your visit could not have been more untimely. When I re ceived your first letter, I took up the matter with his excellency, the gov ernor-general, and he expressed a sin cere desire to visit Chicago and seemed as anxious to accept jour invitation as I was. We woudl have been delighted to go and were looking forward to tne day with anticipation. But since the tone of your press has become so harsh in dealing with the Alaskan boundary question, such misrepresentations have been made about our government and t particularly about me, that it would be undignified for us to visit you and I cannot advise his excellency to go.” Mr. Fitzpatrick said that Sir Wilfred intimated that in the present state of public feeling in the United States, as indicated in the press, it would not be entirely safe for the governor-general and himself to visit Chicago, as he feared that they might in a great gath ering of such a cha:«.cter as the Chi cago ceremony be subjected to some unpleasantness or indignity by thoughtless persons. Sir Wilfred ex pressed himself as strongly in favor of arbitrating the Alaskan boundary dispute and concluded the interview as follows: "No, much as I regret it, I could not go to Chicago under present conditions and shall certainly, however painful a duty it may be, also advise his excel lency to decline the invitation that I know and feel has so kindly been ex tended to us by the city of Chicago.” AS TO THE COLD OUTPUT. Africa trails and Australia T.ikes the Second PI ice. WASHINGTON, Aug. 5—The direc tor of the mint has nearly completed his estimate of the world's production of gold for the year 1S98. The date at hand seems to warrant the conclusion that the production will amount to at least $294,000,000 and possibly $295, 000. Africa leads all other countries, with $80,300,000, with Australia second with $67,500,000 and the United States third with $64,463,000. Russia is cred ited with $25,000,000, Mexico with $10, 000,000 and Canada, including the Klondike, with $14,000,000. Of the $14,000,000 credited to Canada in 1898, about $10,000,000 came out of the Klon dike and in the estimate of the pro duction of the United States during the last year, $2,524,000 came from Alaska. In 1896 and for nearly fifty years previously the United States occupied the first place in the world’s produc tion of gold. In that year the output of the world was estimated at $202, 682,000. These figures are subject to revision in making up the final esti mate, but are believed to be approxi mated. WHAT WORKMEN MAY DO They Can Cse Pei Bunion to Got Men to (Jult. CHICAGO, Aug. 5—In a decision rendered Judge Windes of the appel late court, sitting as an equity judge, has decided that striking workmen may use persuasion to induce other workmen to quit work J>r a firm against which a strike has been ord ered. They may also visit the factory or plant of the company and use what peaceable means they can to prevent others from working for the concern, or induce those who are at work to quit. The decision was announced in the suit of Frazer & Chalmers, manu facturers, who last week secured an injunction against the Ironmoulders’ union, restraining the organization from approaching or in any way Influ encing by possible contact the me*? who took the strikers' places or in tended to do so. feller* on the President. PLATTSBURG. N. Y., Aug. 5.—Ab ner McKinley arrived from New York yesterday morning for a short stay. Among the others who called upon Mr. McKinley were Captain Dodd of Troop D, Third United States cavalry, who has just been ordered to the Phil ippines. Unless the present plans are changed Secretary of War Root will not come here to confer with President McKinley until the week after next. The president keeps fully advised as to Secretary Root’s plans and is anx ious to end the war at the earliest possible moment. MEXICO ENJOYS PROSPERITY. Securities Quoted Par and Capital Com Ing In. CITY OF MEXICO, Aug.5—The new 5 per cent bonds converted debt were quoted above par at Amsterdam today. The news created a very favorable feeling here, for It had not been antici pated that the 5 per cents would go so quickly above par In Europe, although the old 6 per cents had for a long time commanded a premium. The silver debt of this country is .low held wholly in Europe, being distributed In France, Belgium, Germany, Holland, Italy and Spain, and these bonds having been purchased at a lowr price give excellent, interest, and now, with the improved price, European investors, who are mostly small capitalists, are well satis fied with the profit they have made in addition to the good interests received on their money. It has been impossible at times to supply the active European demand for Mexican silver securities, which represent what is called the in ternal debt. Bankers here who have made a study of the revenue conditions predict that the customs revenues will next year increase lully 25 per cent over the handsome total of the past fiscal year. A large amount of foreign capital is being invested in lands and mines and activity in taking up claims for gold and copper properties is noticeable. The number is without precedent in the mining history of this country. Much English capital is now coming in and it is more judiciously invested than in former years, as the English have learned by experience to rely only on competent expert testimony as to the value of properties. GATHERING A GREAT HARVEST. Women and Boys Pressed Into the Serv ice to Secure the Grain. LEMARS, la., Aug. 5.—Women are working in the harvest Helds all over northwestern Iowa, southern Minne sota and southern Dakota. Such a sight was never seen here before. Men and even boys are offered $2 a day, but cannot be got. The scarcity of men is due to the pressure of railroad build ing going on in the north and west. On account of the recent heavy rains and wind storms, neoe3Bitating re shocking and rushing the work to save from blight, all hands have had to turn into the fields. It is the wettest harvest since 1888. Since cutting be gan a week ago Monday three torna does have swept this entire section, and rain has fallen in torrents at least once in every forty-eight Lours. When the harvesters went into the fields the splendid stands of grain promised one of the biggest small grain crops ever produced. Now the farmers will be glad to save half a crop. The most sanguine estimate for wheat is ten bushels to the acre. In some sections rot and half-filled ears are complained of, but the greatest loss is entailed by the lodging of the stalks. Whole fields are matted and beaten into the ground beyond recovery. Corn has been loosened in sections where the storms have been most violent, but on the whole it still promises a splendid yield. Harvesting of the small grain is half over and will be finished by August 10. Surveys Not Relative to Dispute. WAbHINGTON, Aug. 5.—Relative to the report of a crown officer that sur veys are being made along the Alaskan boundary in connection with the pending negotiations on the subject, it is learned'here that these surveys are simply the working out of physical data growing out of the primary sur veys made eight years ago by the United States coast and geodetic sur vey. The Canadians are engaged in the same surveys of their side of the ! line. Minnesota Troops Com'ng Home. WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—General Otis has cabled the adjutant general at Washington as follows: “Error cal^e yesterday. Minnesota | and South Dakota take transport, not i Montana.” The cable of yesterday caused con siderable dissatisfaction in Minnesota, aB it had previously been announced that the Minnesota regiment was to sail next. Inquiries from the war de partment developed the error. No Danger of Indian School WASHINGTON, Aug. 5—In response to an inquiry as to the situation and needs at the Indian school at Hampton, Va., the following dispatch was re ceived by the commissioner of Indian affairs from Agent Briggs: “Rigid quarantine for and against us. All Indians except eleven boys are in the north. They are efficient and faithful in the general guard duties. Am authorized to say that the possi bility of infection Is remote.” Tents for Home Inmates.

Lives Lost end Much Property Damaged and De'troyed. FLORIDA RAVAGED BY ELEMENTS flirce or Four Town* About Wiped Out— Extensive Docks sad Warehouses Destroyed — I.arge Lumber Vessels Lying In the Bay Swept Ashore—The Damage Beyond Estimate. TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Aug. 4.—The first train in since Saturday from Carabelle through the storm-stricken gulf section reached here yesterday, the passengers having been trans ferred twice—from a flat car from Carabelle to a lever car between Coal Creek and the Ochlochneo river and then to the relief train for Talla hnRSf'O. The train crew and passengers agree in stating that reports sent out of the destruction wrought by the storm have been extremely moderate. Cara belle is literally wiped from the map. Its docks and wharves, containing about 400,000 feet of lumber and 50,000 barrels of rosin, were quickly swept away. Thirteen or fourteen large lumber vessels in the bav were swept ashore and are lying well upon dry land. These vessels contained several million feet of lumber. No informa tion is obtainable as to the loss of life from these vessels or from the large fleet' of vessels In the neighborhood. Only two or three huts are left stand ing in Carabelle and one colored woman is known to have been killed by the falling of a house. Citizens of Carabelle are in a state of wild con fusion and are flocking In every direc tion for relief. The town is isolated and the wires are still down. The towns of Mclntlre and Curtis Mill are completely demol ished and large Interests have been destroyed. The coast resorts, Teresa and Lanark, are more seriously wreck ed than at first reported and visitors have suffered great hardships, though no loss of life is reported. Fifteen men, who are reported to have been seen fishing on an islet called Dog Isl and just before the storm broke, can not be found. MacIntyre, a small town twelve miles this side of Carabelle, 1b com pletely wiped out. One man, name unknown, was drowned. Rumors as to loss of life among the fishermen are yet unconfirmed. Up to noon yesterday no direct in formation has been received from the coast towns stricken by the storm. There is no communication by wire and the only hope of news as to the extent of damage done is based on the belief of the officials of the Cara belle, Tallahassee & Gulf railroad that a train will get in today from the coast. THE BONDSMEN Of BARTLEY. Attorney General Smythe Waiting for Retnm of Executions. OMAHA, Aug. 4—Attorney General Smyth has filed transcripts of the Judgment recently secured by the state against the Bartley bondsmen in all the counties in which he can learn that any of the bondsmen have prop erty. The executions recently issued in this county are still in the hands of Sheriff McDonald and so far no action has been taken. Mr. Smyth says that he has very little hope of recovering anything on the executions, as he be lieves that very little of the property previously held by the .bondsmen has been left uncovered. He says that he is now waiting for the return of the executions by the sheriffs in the vari ous counties and then he will bring creditor’s suits to have the transfers of property set aside.
