Advisability of Kxercishi Leas Con
trol Over Gold Supplies , Owinjc tr
JtciJcK A'-linn on American Stock.
The progress of last week saw
iy improvement in financial con
ditions in New York , which was re
flected in strong closing quotations in
the slock market. When the crisis ar
rived in New York , American obliga
tions lo foreign lenders were at an
u.usual ebb , the London and Para ;
money markets having been exercising
j.o < < discriminations against Ameri
can borrowers for several months past.
Tins policy was prompted by the recol-
Jection of Hie troubles precipitated on
fon'ijjn money markets last fall by
h < .u-y borrowings attributed by for-
i'jjii critics lo speculative operations
in America , and which forced gold

IK autumnal strain in London and
Paris.
"J"his year foreign lenders have hesi-
t. ' ! ' ! to make even ihe usual advances

merchandise , and the consequence is
that there are few maturing1 obliga-
iion.t of American borrowers now fall-
in ; ; duo lo offsel the debt accruing for
payment of the commodities we are
exporting. The shortage of foreign
cios and the lov/ level lo which cop-

ers who have purchased bills of ex- ,

their choice of commanding payment
in gold and have exercised the choice.
But with- the engagements of gold
already accrued , now rising above
? r.o,000,000 , and the effect of relation
ina.nife.sl from the supplies already re-
tvived. Now York bankers .are begin
ning to canvass the desirability of
ir.oie lenient exercise of their con
trol over the gold supplies. 'The per
turbation of foreign markets is keenly
in triifesled and signs are seen of a.
' i - position lo meet American exac

Ohiwsf of JUxcavation.
The proposii ! to continue the work
of excavation at Hcrculaneum has be-
c.ne so popular as a result of the ef-
fiirL'i ma.de by Charles Waldstein. pro-

SUPERIOR FIRE DISASTER.
i Great Xorthcni and Other Elevators
Burn.
Fire of an unknown origin Friday
night caused the destruction of the
Great Northern elevator "A" in Su
perior , Wis. , together 'with ' 600,000
bus'.iels of grain , principally wheat , all
of which was fully covered by insur
ance. The elevator was owned by
the Great Northern railroad , but was
leased to life A. D. Thompson Grain
- company , of Duluth , Minn. The
sparks soon ignited the Grand. Repub
lic mill , on Tower avenue , the/Great
j Lakes dredge dock andp the Duluth-1
Superior Storage company , which con
tained the finishing plant of the Web
ster Chair company. At midnight it
looked as though it would be com
pletely destroyed , entailing an esti
mated aggregate loss of $2,000,000.
When the fire started four fire tugs
responded , but owing to the intense
heat they were driven out of the slip. "
The steamers W. A. Parent and W. A.
Rogers were in the elevator slip load
ing wheat and the latter was to have
taken 300,000 bushels of wheat Sat
urday.
The steamers Utica , Alva and Chili
were on tlie opposite side of the slip
at a merchandise dock and -were pull
ed out by tugs to save them from de
struction.
The Globe elevator , owned by the
Peavey company , was on fire and for a
time it looked as though it would go ,
but the firemen succeeded in extin
guishing the flames.
The blaze.also spread to the saw
mill property of the Peyton , Kimball
& Barber property , but this likewise
was extinguished before any serious
damage was done. The entire depart
ments of Duluth and Superior were
used to combat the flames.

Xe\v $10 Gold Piece Designed by Saint
Gandcns Are Issued.
"In God We Trust" does not appear
on the new $10 gold piece , the design
of which was selected by the thirty-

four years that there has been such an
omission. The new gold piece was
designed by the late Augustus Saint
Gaudens at the special request of
President Roosevelt and personally

Instead of the reverential expression
on the coin there is the belligerent

BLOW TO SANTA FE.
Fine of $330,000 Imposed on Western
Road.
Judge Olin Wellborn in the United
States diwtrict court at'Los Angeles
Thursday fined the Atchison , Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad company
$330,000 for rebating. The fine , wa * ,
what the court denominated "an in
termediate penalty , " the maximum
which might have been assessed be
ing $1.320,000 and the mir.ir.uni
$66,000. The court reviewed the case
In a written opinion of some length
in which it stated that there were
sufficient doubtful and extenuating
circumstances to preclude the possi
bility of a maximum .sentence ttnd yel
sufficient intention of wrongdoing
shown to make impossible a mini
mum penalty.
The Santa Fe company was convict
ed on'Oct. 11 last by a jury in the
federal court of granting rebates to
the Grand Canyon Lime and Cement
company of Arizona. It was found
guilty of all of the , sixty-six counts
charged in the indictment after but an
hour's deliberation. The rebates
which were given on shipments of
lime and cement from Nelson , Ariz. , to
Los Angeles , Cal. , ranged in amounts
from 35 cents to $ lf ) . The company
claimed that these amounts were not
rebates on the regular freight rate ,
but were in- the form of damages to
goods which were allowed after such
claims had been regularly presented
and proved in each instance. The
court Thursday did not lake that
view of the case , however , and stated
that it "was not convinced by any
means that these amounts represented
bona fide settlements of claims.

l-TRE AT TIDE SWIFT PLANT.
Thirty Thousand Dollars' Worth of
Damage 5s pone.
Fire Thursday night in the fertilizer
department of Swift & Company at
South Omaha did damage estimated
by Superintendent Patterson at $30-
000. The fire was caused by a "flash"
or explosion of dust on the second floor
of the fertiliser storage room , which
was probably caused by some metalic
substance jn material being put into
the grinder. At the time of the ex
plosion three men were working near
where it occurred and they were
slightly burned about the face and
hands. An instant after the "flash"
flames broke through the ceiling to
the floor of the third story and then
to the roof.
The resultant tire was one ot the
must stubborn the South Omaha de
partment has ever been called upon
to handle. The department was called -
od just after 7 o'clock and at 7:30 the
whole upper floor and the roof was
a. mass of flamesAt . 8 p. m. , the fire
vvas at the most spectacular point.
At this time the fire threatened to
burn through the fire wall at the
j south end into the beef tank room
! which adjoins the olco department.
! In this department a large stock of
j oleo and butter fats are stored and
there are two enormous grease tanks.
! Had either one of these taken fire
j there would have been no living with-
1 ia a hundred feet of the conflagra-
i tion. and the south end of the big
j plant would have been doomed. For
this reason all the energies of the fire
men were directed to the preserva
tion of the fire wall which held the
fljimes in check. For an hour it seem
ed as though all efforts would be in
vain. The men worked frantically ,
braving the heavy volumes of smoke
and ( he clouds of steam which at
times were so dense as to curtain
down the light of the burning roof
and floors to complete darkness.

I Tt is intended to have it completed ,
thut water can be tuuietl into it

though by a reduced plurality , over tin.-
Republican candidate , Congresswair
P.urton. Though the traction issue *
\vas kept to the front in the campaign ,
doubtless the general results of Mayos
Johnson's efforts to improve and broaden -
en the scope of the * municipal scrvicfl-
had much to do with his success. Ilte-
notable victory , together with the strik
ing defeat of the Hcarst-Republieair >
ticket in New York , brings Johnsos-
conspicuously to the front in Demo
cratic national politics.
The reform candidates won a splen
did victory in San Francisco. District
Attorney Langdon is re-elected and/
will continue his work of prosecuting *
grafters of high and low degree. La-
Salt Lake the American party has-
overthrown the mormon element , thus-
loosening the strangle hold of the
church on Utah politics. An important *
development was the desertion , of the
church candidates by thousands o
mormon voters , who do not desire
longer to mix politics witli their relig
ion.
Kentucky has elected Willson. Re"
publican , for Governor. Not since Tay
lor was unseated after the murder oK
Goebel has that State had a Republi
can executive. Maryland apparently
demonstrated the effectiveness of its ;
law to smother the negro vote by elect
ing a Democratic governor over the
Republican candidate. Rhode Island *
has re-elected its Democratic governor ?
Iliggins , but its peculiar election laws-
have permitted it to return anothev
strong Republican legislature.
By no means the least striking feat
ure of the election was the sweeping-
success of prohibition in Illinois dis
tricts which took advantage of th
new Iscal-option law to vote on the
question of saloons. The results provt-
that the people in many parts of ths
State want protection from the eviljf
of liquor selling.
