The French government has pro-
posed to the chamber of deputies to

In 1920, to commemorate the founda-
tion of the French republic.
Unprecedented as was the produc-
tion of gold in 1904, amounting to
f350.000.000, the production In 1905
Is almost certain to exceed that total,
and it is not unlikely to reach the
$400,000,000 mark.
The new railway that is being bui'.t

American lumber is in steady de
mand in Germany. Although more
than 70,632,000 cubic fee of black wal
nut were received at Hamburg in 1903
the supply of this variety of Ameri
can lumber does not equal the increas
ing demand. Virginia whitewood
pitch pine, and cedar find ready mar-
kets at good prices. The cedar that
is most in demand is that which may
be used in the manufacture of artistic
furniture and lead pencils.

open to her husband.
Wolves have been exceedingly fero-
cious during the last winter in many
parts of Northern Canada, according
to the reports which are being brought
in to the headquarters of the Hudson
bay. One of the most serious of these
reports has reference to the destruc-
tion wrought by wolves among the
surviving bands of the wood buffalo,
and has been sent by mail from Ft
Resolution, which is a Hudson Bay
company post on the Southern shore
of the Great Slave Lake, in the vast,
unexplored district of Mackenzie.

The two Russian squadrons appear
to be making an effort to get together,
and at the same time it is reported
that some of Admiral Togo's fleetest
cruisers have been sent to harrass
the fourth squadron under Admiral
Nebogotoff, the vessels of which are
not in first-class condition after their
long voyage. Rojestvensky is said to
have sailed south to meet them
Admiral Rojestvenskl's fleet is said

extent of the damage has not yet been

Russia is said to have acquired the
navies of the Argentine Republic and
Chili, and will send crews over toman
the vessels.
Korikigo Takahashl, financial agent
of Japan, who has just arrived in the
United States, doesn't think Admiral

THE CHICAGO STHIKE.
Sheriff Barrett, of Cook county, ex-
pressed the opinion, on the night of
the 5th inst., that the backbone of the
strike was broken. An experiment to
be tried the following day of making
general deliveries by down town mer-
chants was expected to determine
whether the sheriff's posse and police
were equal to the task of furnishing
protection, failing which troops were
to be called for. The day's rioting
was on a diminished scale, but bad
enough.
The latest development in the strike,
up to the morning of the 5th, was that
Sheriff Barrett of Cook county had
taken active control and was swearing
in a large force of deputies to co-op-
erate with the polrce. He declared that
troops would not be called for until it
was demonstrated that the police and
posse were impotent.
The strike situation in Chicago was
in no way ameliorated, on the 3d, the
street fighting, if anything, being more
vicious and less discriminating than on
the previous day. Up to midnight,
scores had bten added to the list of
wounded in the hospitals, and it is
reasonably certain that many others
are nursing wounds and broken heads
in their homes.
The business men of Cli'cago sent a
delegation to Springfield to request
that Gov. Deneen order out state troops
to preserve the peace in Chicago. May-
or Dunne and Chief of Police O'Neill
were of the opinion that the police
could cope with the situation sueess-
fully.
T. C. Carlson, superintendent of auto-
trucks for Montgomery Ward & Co.,Chi-
cago, was probably fatally wounded by
being struck on the head by a thrown
brick, which fractured his skuil.
The death of one man and the in-
jury of scores of others was the im-
mediate result of the fighting in Chica-
go, on the 2d inst., between the strik-
ers and strike breakers, of which quite
an army has been imported into the
city. Several bloody encounters took
place in the fashionable shopping dis-
trict.
The Team Owners' association of
Chicago, which employs only union la-
bor, has declined to be bound by con-
tracts which would draw them into the
present controversy and be the cause
of their men being called out. The
railroad companies also decline to be
drawn into the affair by the business
firms involved.

Glenwood Springs, Col., May 8.—
President Roosevelt entertained at din-
ner, Sunday night, his companions on
his three weeks' hunt in tho Rocky
mountains. After tho dinner he bade
them an affectionate farewell and
promised that all would live forever in
his fondest memory. At the dinner
were P. B.Stewart,of Colorado Springs;
Dr, Alexander T. Lambert, Guides-Jake
Borah, John Goff, Brick Wells, Jack
Fry and G. M. H. Sprague, Courier El-
mer Chapman and Secretary Loeb.
l.oL'b the Duly Dude.
In describing the function, Chapman
said:
We sat just as we did in camp. Mr
Loeb was the only dude at the party.
You reporter fellows ought to hava
been there. You could have got all
kinds of pieces for your papers."
Other members of the hunt said the
party talked over the events of the
three weeks and had a good time gen-
erally. Needless to say, it was a din-
ner none will forget. The president
was at his best. He was entirely rested,
and had just come in from two or three
hours' drive through the woods, where
tho president went to study Colorado
birds. Mr. Stewart is a naturalist,
who knows every bird in the mountains
and can tell its habits and imitate its
calls.
Wim nn Informal VITllr.
The dinner waf> served in a private
dining room of the Hotel Colorado. The
guests were dressed much as they were
in the mountains. Flannel shirts were
the rule, although the guides did dis-
card their chaps and laid away their
guns. The president and Mr. Loeb
wore their frocks, and Dr. Lambert
and Dr. Stewart were in plain business
suits, as they have not connected with
1 their dress clothes. Some of the stories
told at the dinner later went into pri-
vate circulation, but it w-ds understood
they were not to be printed, and the
wishes of the president will be respect-
ed. It can be said, however, that they
related entirely to incidents connected
with the hunt
Spent n Quiet Suiulny.
Following his usual custom, the
president spent a quiet Sunday. Three
weeks ago the railways planned to run
excursions into the springs, Sunday,
but the plan was discouraged by Sec-
retarv Loeb, who said that no pro-
gramme would be permitted which
called for an address by the president.
In spite of that fact, large numbers of
persons came in by every train, and
rather than disappoint them. Mr.
Roosevelt stepped out, on the second
floor balcony of the hotel, after lunch-
eon, and spoke briefly. He said:
Ju t « Few Word*.
"I did not anticipate having the
pleasure of meeting you to-day, and
as it is Sunday. I am not going to try
to make a speech to you. I shall
merely say how greatly I am enjoying
mv visit to this beautiful state. I wish
that in the last week up in the moun-
tains there had been a little more
weather like this. If there had been, I
think we would have gone about two
bears better. But still as I got ten,
I do not think we have any right to
complain. I am sure I need not tell
you how much I have enjoyed my holi-
day here, and how deeply I have ap-
preciated the kindness, with which I
have been treated by the people of your
state the people in your cities and the
ranchmen right in the immediate
neighborhood of where I was hunting.
It was a great pleasure to see the men
of Colorado, to see the women, and 1
do not know but what I am even more
glad to see the small folks. I shall not
try to make you a speech, I shall sim-
ply say again how glad I am to se<
you and be your guest."
En Iloute Enntwfird.
The president's party was up early
Sunday. After breakfast a limited
amount of mail was gotten out of the
way. and then the party went to the
Presbyterian church. An invitation tc
the president and his party was ex-
tended by Rev. J. Wilson Curren and
va-.i accepted.
The special left Glenwood Spring al
five o'clock this morning. A daylight
run will be made to Denver, In order to,
give the party an opportunity to enjoy
the scenery. The train will stop ten
minutes at Hanging Bridge, one of the
prettiest views on the Denver & Rlc
Grande railroad.

Toldo, May 8.—Assuming that Vice-
Admiral Rojestvensky meditates a
speedy junction of his squadron with
Vice-Admiral Nebogatoff's division, It
Us believed here that a meeting of the
ships may bo expected by May 9,
the speed of Nebogatoff's division be-
ing only about seven knots an hour.
These ships are believed to be In need
of coal and stores, and their deficien-
cies in this respect probably will be
supplied by Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky
at some friendly port after the two ad-

speculation here.
