It Interferes With Laurier's Visit to
Chicago.
WHAT MR. FITZPATRICK REPORTS
fill Reception by Canadian Authorities
a Little Chilly —ToM that HU Visit
Could Not Have Horn More CotlmeJy —
Arbitration for the Uoundary 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 postofliee 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 bis official
reception was slightly chilly, Sir Wil
fred Laurler very candidly telling him
that under the present conditions it
► would he impossible for him to accept,
or even to consider any social invita
tions to this ride 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 wnom i inn greauy
interested I am very glad to see you,
but, frankly, ns a representative of the
federal or any local government In the
United States, your visit could not
have been more untimely. When 1 re
ceived your first letter, 1 took up the
matter with hla excellency, the gov
ernor-general, and he expressed a sin
cere desire to visit Chicago and seemed
as anxious to accept >our invitation as
I was. We woudl have been delighted
to go and were looking forward to tne
day with anticipation. Hut 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
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, a3
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 character 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, hewever painful a
duty it may be, also advise bis excel
lency to decline the Invitation that I
know and feel has so kindly been ex
tended to us by the city of Chicagf
AS TO THE GOLD OUTPUT.
Africa Leads and Amtralli Takes the
Second 1*1 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 1898. 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.

MEXICO ENJOYS PROSPERITY.
SecuritlH* (looted I’ar and Capital Com*
In* lo
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 aow held wholly
In Europe, being distributed In France,
Belgium, Germany, ttoliand, Italy and
Spain, and these bonds having been
purchased at a low 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 sliver securities,
which represent what is called the In
termil debt. Hankers here who have
made a study of the revenue conditions
predict that the customs revenuee will
next year increase lully 25 per cent
over the handsome total of the past
fiscal year.
A largo 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 HARVTST.
Women and liny* I* rimed Into tli** Serv
in' to Secure tlie Ciralu.
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, necessitating re
shocklng and rushing the work to save
from blight, all hands have had to
turn Into the Helds. 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 l.ours. When
the harvesters went Into the fields the
splendid stands of grnln 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.

WAhlUNGTON, Aug. 5 — Relative to
Ihe report of a crown officer that sur

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. _

The cable of yesterday caused con
siderable dissatisfaction in Minnesota,
as It had previously been announced
that the Minnesota regiment was tc

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Aug. 4.—The
first train in since Saturday from
Carabeile through the storm-stricken
gulf section reached here yesterday,
the passengers having been trans
ferred twice—from a Hut car from
Carabeile to a lever car between Coal
Creek and tbe Oehloehnet river and
then to the relief train for Talla
hassee.
The train crew and passengers agree
in stating that reports seut out of the
destruction wrought by the storm
have been extremely moderate. Cira
belle is literally wiped from the map.
Its docks and wharves, containing
about 400,000 feet of lumber and 60,000
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- j
tion is obtainable us to the loss of life
from these vessels or from the large
fleet of vessels in the neighborhood.
Only two or three huts arr* left stand
ing In Carabeile and one colored
woman is known to have beru kiiied
by the falling of a bouse. Citizens of
Carabeile are in a state of wild con
fusion and are flocking in every direc
tion for relief.
The town is isolated and the wires
arc still down. The towns of Mcfnure
and Curtis Mill are completely demol
ished nnd large interests have been
destroyed. Tbe 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 t»f Carabeile. is com
pletely wiped out. One man, name
unknown, was drowned. Itumora as
to loss of life among the fishermen
are yet unconfirmed.
Up to noon yesterday no direct In
formation has been received from the
eoast town3 stricken by the storm.
There is no communication by wire
and tbe only hope of news as to the
extent of damage done is based on
the belief of the officials of the Cara
belle, Tallahassee & C.ulf tallroad that
a train will get In today from the
COE3t.

OMAHA, Aug. 4.—Attorney General
Jmyth has filed transcripts of tlic
Judgment recently secured by the
state against the Hartley 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 mat
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.
