TIEN TSIN, China, Dec. L The mil itary situation here has shown practically no change since early Autumn. There has oeen a slight reduction of the various forces at times, but the garrisons have on the whole practically been maintained at the number heretofore stated in the Asso ciated Press dispatches. The Russian contingent has been slight ly Increased over the strength at first de termined. This Is understood to have been done at the suggestion of General Llnavltch himself, who Is said to have represented to St. Petersburg that two additional infantry regiments be added. These have now arrived here. In addi tion, there are three squadrqns of Cos sacks and a light battery. With the de parture of the Fifteenth United States In fantry last week, the American contlgent In Tien Tsin now consists only of two companies of the Ninth Infantry under command of Major Foote. The British and German forces predominate. The British have eent back to India and down to Hong Kong a large number of coolies who have suffered much from the cold. The health of the troops Is. on the whole, good, though the Germans have had quite a large percentage of sick from fever and dysenteric complaint. Navigation up the river has practically ceased. Ice formed nightly and the last fleet of junks sent up have taken from eight to ten days to reach Tuns Chow. Winter supplies for all the forces are pretty well In. however, and with the opening of the railroad to Pekln, which Is expected within two or three weeks, the greatest difficulty which the allies have faced will be removed. The railroad is still the cause of consid erable friction. It Is still held by the Russians, who apparently are not In clined to surrender It to any other control. There has been a disposition to lay the blame for the delay In putting the road through to Pekln on the Russians and from time to time the matter has come to the front In a way to cause apprehensions of serious friction. It was recently stated that an agreement had been reached to turn the road over to the Germans, but this has failed to materialize and It is understood that the Russians declined to fulfill the agreement. They are pay ing Interest on the lease to the Chinese and British owners and thus removing the greatest legal question Involved. Reports from the country along the Grand Canal and toward Pao Ting Fu in dicate that there is still some restlessness In the towns and villages. There have been several scares of massing forces In that direction, but no reliable news can be obtained tending to Indicate danger. The Germans have Installed a field tel egraph line to Pao Ting Fu, and detachments-are constantly on the road escort ing supplies to the garrison there. Occa sionally there have come reports of snip ing along the route, but the country Is apparently quiet In that direction. Blahop Mnde Dead. DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 3. Bishop W. X. Nlnde, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was found dead In bed at his home here today. He was 6S years old. It is thought the cause of death was heart trouble. He attended a funeral yesterday and caught a cold. He had been a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church since 1SS4. He was at one time a missionary In In dia. He leaves a widow, three sons and one daughter. Yesterday tihe presiding elders of Mich igan (held a conference and decided to sell the episcopal residence here, now occu pied by Bishop Nlnde's family, because the churches of Michigan outside of De troit and other cities failed to contribute sufficient funds to maintain it. One Burned to Death. NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-OIrs. Mary Devlne, aged 60, was burned to death and Mrs. Minnie Arnlckle, aged 27, was driven from bed while 111, and three other persons were Injured at a fire which destroyed a row of three-story frame tenement houses on Bushwlck street, Jersey City, early to day. The damage by fire was $50,000, par tially covered by insurance. Mrs. Ar nlckle was in the hands of a doctor when the flames reached the house. She was placed In an ambulance and hurried to the home of her mother, where she gave birth to a child. Twenty-eight families were driven from bed Into the bitter -cold night, and rendered homeless. Struck a Defective Rail. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Jan. 3. The Chicago Great Western passenger train from Chicago, due here at 8:25 A, M was wrecked near Sargeant, Minn., today. Two engines were pulling eight cars 35 miles an hour and the second engine struck a defective rail and was over turned, with tho baggage car. The latter was burned.

Baggage man Groen, Conductor Nealey and Buffet Car Porter Hudson were seriously bruised. 413 7 45 111 WORLD'S STOCK OF MONEY UNITED STATES LEADS NATIONS IN SUPPLY OF GOLD. Heaviest Gold Per Capita, Hovrever, Is in Australasia Stocks of Sil ver and Uncovered Paper. WASHINGTON, Dec 29. (Special to the New York Journal of Commerce). One of the most Interesting tabulations which has been presented for several years by the Director of the Mint. Is that showing the total amount of money in use In vari ous countries, and the ratio of this total stock to population. The figures to be presented this year by Mint Director Rob erts will derive more than ordinary inter est from the exhibit they will afford of the increase in recent years In the gold money of the world. The large produc tions of the mines In Australia, South Africa and the Klondike rezlons have not by any means all been converted into money, but the monetary supply of sev- eral countries has received Important ad dltions as the natural result of the In crease In the stock of the yellow metal. The United States now stand at the head of all nations In their stock of gold money. This would remain the fact, even if a considerable allowance were made for the errors which are sometimes attributed to the Treasury estimates. The estimated stock of gold In the United States at the beginning of the present year was $1,020, 200,000. The figures for France were $310, 600,000; for Russia. $791,700,000; for Germany, $697,900,000; and for Great Britain. $486. 700,000. The following table will Indicate the progress in the monetary supply of the world during the last quarter of a century: Uncovered Gold. Silver. paper. 1873 ...$1,209,800,000 $1,057,685,000 $2,322,545,000 1893 ... 3,901.900,000 3,931,100.000 2,700.000,000 1896 ... 4,143.700,000 4,236,900.000 2.558.000,000 1899 ... 4.614,600,000 3,855,800,000 2,846,500,000 1900 ... 4,841,000,000 3,818,900,000 2,980,100,000 The amount of uncovered paper Is reached by deducting from the total amount of paper In circulation the coin reserves which are held against It In banks and national treasuries. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of this ex hibit Is the Increase In the total quantity of the tools of exchange within the past quarter 01 a century, xne amount wnich sufficed, or was made to suffice. In 1873 was about $4,600,000,000. The amount In actual use at the beginning of the present year had risen tO $11,600,000,000. This shows an Increase in the monetary sup- ply of the leading countries of the world of more than 140 per cent within the brief JT U lS ProWe that the yesterday refused to grant the demands nS th E urn- T.hnt tfcf tlV of th telegraphers. It Is said that chalr nTrLv of hVwoiHn en of various committees between St. money or the world has been multiplied r, A ,,, -. .nr ji0j . , by at least three within a generation. Paul and the Coast will be advised to do The fact that the paper has not Increased , no mor flMns' bu ? "' s ,s "n" Is due to the large increase in metallic derstood to mean that the telegraphers reserves which have offset increased Is sues of bank notes In France, Germany and many other countries. The following table exhibits the figures which Director Roberts will present to Congress regard ing the monetary stock of leading coun tries: MONETARY STOCK (January Countries United States Austria-Hungary Belgium British Empire Australasia Canada Cape Colony Great Britain India South African Republic Bulgaria Cuba Denmark Egypt Finland . ...; France Germany Greece , Haytl ...: Italy Japan Netherlands Norway Portugal Roumanla Russia Servla " South American States Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey Central American States China Mexico Slam Straits Settlements 1 Total . : Next In Interest In comparison to the gross stocks, which Is so favorable to the United States in respect to its gold equipment, Is perhaps the estimated stock of money per capita. In this respect the United States Is not abreast of some of the countries where methods of credit are less fully developed or where gold or silver are the principal ltenis of produc tion. Among advanced civilized countries with a high range of currency per capita is France, whose equipment of $37 03 Is nearly 40 per cent In excess of the Ameri can supply of $26 2L The South 'American states also show a heavy equipment of uncovered paper, with little metallic money to support it. Among the gold producing countries showing remarkable records are South Africa, with a per capita circulation of $27 63, of which $26 54 Is in gold, and Australia, with a per cap ita circulation of $29 93, cf which $28 58 Is In gold. The following table exhibits the estimated per capita supply of each class of money for the same countries for which the gross figures have already been given: PER CAPITA Countries TTnUprt States Austria-Hungary Belgium British Empire Australasia ...

Dec. 24. No declara tion by Bryan, Jones, Croker or any other one of the several Democrats who have been mismanaging the Democratic party for the past five years has a grain, of the importance of the declaration by Grover Cleveland. In 1896 It Is well un derstood that Cleveland was very unpop ular with a large section of his party. The antagonism of the sound-money men of the Gorman, Murphy, Smith and Brice type, who were dissatisfied with Cleve land on account of bls civil service views or because they had not been given the share of the President's confidence to which they felt themselves entitled, was a little less pronounced than the fierce hatred of the Altgelds. Tillmans, Joneses and others who committed the party to the Chicago platform and Bryan. The first class of Democrats of course can do nothing except to approve of the ut terances of ex-President Cleveland, as It meets substantially with their views. The other Democrats, however, will storm and rant and rave, and make all kinds of ob jections to Cleveland and point out that a man who did not support the party In 1896 and again in 1900 has no right to suggest modifications of platform, or to tell the Democracy which followed Bryan what to do. This may be sufficient to capture a large proportion of the party, and possi bly it will go blindly forward to the cam paign of 1904, as It did to the campaign of 1900, doomed to defeat as certain as It holds to the false doctrine of free sliver and attacks upon the Supreme Court. On the other hand, there will be enough Qf the Democracy which nominally sup ported Bryan In 1896. and somewhat en thusiastically in 1900, who will refuse longer to follow him and his coadju- ! tors, but will join with the men who bolted the Democratic ticket, in an effort - I to not only nominate a man, but formu- late a platform upon which the Democ racy will stand a show of winning four years hence. While the Sllverltes may dodge about and breathe defiance at Cleveland and abuse him as they have for the last 10 years, at the same time those who have any sense left will be compelled to acknowledge that he points out the only true way In which the De mocracy can again achieve victory. The great importance of Cleveland's ut terances Is their direct statements of truth. Were It not for the fact that this country has practically decided that no man shall have a third term In the Presi dential chair, Cleveland would be beyond all question the candidate of his party In 1904, and. more than that, he would be more likely to win that fight than any other man that is in sight at the present time. TELEGRAPHERS' GRIEVANCES They Will Send an Ultimatum to the Northern Pacific. ' ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. 3.

Preliminary Estimate of the Director of the Mint. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. George E. Roberts, the director of the mint, today made public his preliminary estimate of "the production of gold and sliver In the United States during the calendar year 1300. The aggregate of gold is given as 3,837,213 fine ounces, valued at 779,322,281, and of silver, 59 610,543 fine ounces, which, at the approximate average price of 61 cents for tihe year, makes the value $36, 362,431. During tho calendar year 1899 the gold production was $71,053,400, and the silver production 54,764,500 fine ounces. The Nome gold and silver production for 1900 Is given as $5,100,000, and that of the Klondike, which Includes both the American and Canadian fields, $22,2S7,566. The product of the Canadian mines Is not Included In the figures given, but as the gold and sliver comes to the. American mints, the value Is given separately.

Increased Over One Hundred Per Cent In Less Than a Generation. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. An Increase of more than 100 per cent In the money et the world In less than a generation will be an exhibit of the annual report of the Director of the Mint. Nearly the whole of this Increase- is In metallic money, and much the larger portion Is In gold. The total stock reported In 1873 was about $4, 600,000,000, of which more than half was In paper money not fully covered by metallic reserves. The situation at the beginning of 1900 showed a total monetary stock of about $11,600,000,000. of which only a little more than one-fourth was In uncovered paper money. Director Roberts finds that while the money supply of the world has Increased about $7,000,000,000, the increase In gold money since 1873 Is about $3,600,000, 000; In silver about $2,750,000,000, and In un covered paper money only about $650,000, 000. A large proportion of the Increase in gold has taken place within the short space of seven years, while the quantity of silver money, which was at its maximum of about $4,250,000,000 at the beginning of 1S96, has since been somewhat reduced by the sale of sliver by Germany and its re tirement in other countries. The condi tions of 1893 showed a total monetary sup ply of about $1000,000,000, which has since been increased by about ?1.1C0,0 O.IW. AbDUt $940,00,000 of this Increase has been In gold money. Opposed to Submarine Boats. NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-A special to the Herald from Washington says: Submarine boats for the Navy will not be authorized by Congress during the present spsslon if the views of the major ity of the Naval Board of Construction are observed. The board has considered a letter from Representative Foss. chairman of the House committee, regarding the bill pending authorizing the construction of 20 additional submarine' boats. By a vote of four to one the decision was against the new vessels until their value Is demonstrated. Naval 'Constructor Woodward, representing Rear Admiral Hlchborn, Chief Constructor, was the dis senting member. In making this decision the majority took Into consideration the reports of Admiral Dewey, Rear-Admlral Farquhar, Commander N. E. Mason and others commenting favorably upon the performance. Montana's Metal Output. HELENA, Mont., Jan. 3. Eugene B. Braden, who was succeeded as assayer In charge of the United States Assay Offlco at Helena January 1 by B. H. Tatem, today announced his estimate of tho metal output of Montana for 1900. He es timates an increase of $276,753 in the metal output of Montana over tihe production of 1899. Although there was an estimated Increase of 10,000,000 pounds In. the cop per production, the price of copper vras less than during the preceding year. Mr. Braden's estimate follows: Copper 541,246,250 Silver 21.607.500 Gold 4,960,000 Lead 909,410 Total $68,723,160 BUSY ENGLISHMEN'S BOOKS. The Current Literary Tastes of Sev eral British Celebrities. London Express. Busy men seem to find time to read, and in terms of the annual Academy plebiscite of the bees of the pulpit, literature, and the press. It would appear that some read exactly the sort of books one would ex pect them to read. Others disappoint expectations, while a few send characteristic replies to the question as to the two books which they have read with the most Interest and pleasure during the past year. For example, Mr. Plnero agrees with his fellow-dramatist, Mr. Henry Arthur Jones, that "Huxley's Life and Letters" is the one book of the year which play wrights should read, while the former shows a feminine weakness for "Emma Marshall," and tho latter sighs over "An Englishwoman's Love Lettors." After all, a little romance, a woman's story, and a dash of love letter Is good and nourishing mental food for a drama tist. Mr. Stephen Gwynn Is evidently a be llver In the old and the new. He Is of opinion that "Lord Jim" alone "out Herods Herod." and he couples the pair like ill-matched dogs Btrainlng at the chain Dr. Parker puts "Robert Orange" before "The Master Christian," which enables him to deliver a little homily throw a little Minllght on the order Jn which they should be consumed, a little "orange" be ing taken before the stronger food of "The Christian." Sir F. H. Jeuno likes solid reading after the ftipperies of the divorce court and the puzzles of probate; hence he plumped for "Cromwell" and "Huxley's Life," while Mr. Frederic Harrison Is character istically dogmatic In his description of "Richard Yea-andNay" as the only first class book of the year, railway guides, of course, excepted. On the whole, the list recalls the great German musician who bored his friend, the great painter with pictures of "An other Dutch Vlntrnm." and of the great painter who insisted upon playing to the great musician piece? composed in his hours of Idleness as a slave of the brush and stick. Cedarcroft Sold to Stranffera. Chicago Chronicle. A few days ago Cedarcroft, the beau tiful home built by Bayard Taylor, again went under the hammer. Every detail of the house was suggested by the poet traveler, the fruit trees on the grounds and the shrubbery were planted with his own hands and the large estate was the expression of Bayard. Taylor'a Ideal of free-hearted hospitality. The place when he bought It was what Is now called an abandoned farm. Situ ated Just across from the home of his childhood, and near the home of his an cestors for many generations, the entire locality was dear to him from early as sociations, and doubtless the thought of home was doubly dear because of his constant travels He conceived the Idea of making the luxuriously tangled spot which Nature had overrun in wild pro fusion obedient to his own conception of beauty. Perhaps the creation of that lovely parklike estate, which Goethe de scribes with so much felicity In the "Elec tive Afflnltles," Inspired the plan, or it may be that Walter Scott's baronial man sion and rich acres suggested the thought which eventually became a passion. Like Abbotsford. Cedarcroft eventually became an expensive luxury, and cost Its builder many an anxious night and many a year of toilsome effort. In L'EvoI to hl3 "Home Pastorals" Bayard Taylor said: Now, If the tree planted for mine must shadow another's If the uncounted tender memories sown with the seasons. Filling the webs of Ivy, the grove, the terrace of roses Now must be lost till naply the hearts of others renew them Yet we have had and enjoyed, we have and their Joy Is forever. A short time after the poet's death Cedarcroft was sold for $15,000. The sale a week ago brought $9375 a small sum for a poet's dream. Mark Sullivan, writing to a New York paper of the various changes that have taken place In regard to the estate, says "The people of Kennett take little Interest In Taylor's memory and the sale of Cedar croft Is to them merely the passing of 15 acres of real estate. A few choice spirits of the place succeeded In building In 1896 a Bayard Taylor memorial library, an enduring monument to the poet's mem- 'ory." Thirteen colored women, whose ages range from 35 to 75, are attending night school In Jersey City, and taking their first lessons In reading. Several of the older women were born in s'lavery.
