BILL' HOME AGAIN The Great Northern President Talks of His Trip, THE DEPRESSION IN EUROPE. v- . Eng-laud N Long-er Able to Competo With Manufacturers and Grow er! of Qtier Lands. 1 Associated Press. St. Paul, (Maroto 25. President J. J. Hill, of the Great 'Northern Railway, wen known as an able financier, has juat reached ihiome after an extended visit to Europe antf Eastern cities. His statement are of general Interest. He save: "I found there Was a Igireat depres sion In some of the countries of Eu rope, (particularly In Great Britain, and more especially in the cotton and iron Industries. The United States is Eng land's ibeet oustomer, and our import tvave .lbeen largely reduced -to the ad vantage of tola country and to a cor responding disadvantage of Great Brit ain. English manufacturers and land lords owning agricultural tends are taking very active Interest In, blmetal Uaa aad (greater use ot silver. They ace realizing fully that Argentine,' Aus tralia, the East Indies, Cblna and Jap an, wfao are on a silver .basts, are forciosr their labor to accept In pay ment silver which they 'buy for about 55 per cent ot Hie value of gold, and have a margin on labor alone that en ables them to undersell the 'English farmer or manufacturer 1n the markets which England has (heretofore : con trolled. "England is either compelled to give up a large amount of the world's trade which ahe has heretofore con trolled, or Increase the use of sliver in the world to ouch en extent that it will not be yoestble for her manufac turers to take advantage ot the lower cost of their lalbor growing out of the diflarance of gold and silver. It ,tae atlvet tor in 4ae United States ' W1H only let congress alone and leave the matter to foe worked out by the com mercial profit and loss account of Great Britain, 'the latter -nation will be com pelled, together with France, Gerhiany and our country, in bringing about a condition of things that will enable the DngflWh people to meet the com petition of other nations on something like an equal footing. 'The feeling abroad against all classes of American securities, whether national of otherwise, was very Intense. Good and bad were more or less classed alike. This feeling, however, Is grad ually wearing away. "The tow prices of wheat have al ready found during the past year, a near market for that product. Califor nia end the west coast wheat that has heretofore gone to Europe, la now going in shiploads to China, in tlhe form ot flour, Where it la taMng the place of the rice formerly used by the Chinese,." "Has your opinion, changed regarding the ratio of goM and silver?" "That is immaterial. The proportions of gold and silver taken for one thous and years as long as we have history fpon the matter remain practically the same. Fjt a period of ten years or more, one or the other imay show a slight change, but the ratio remains at 15 1-2 or 16 to 1. And is gold and silver were Interchangealble for so many hundreds of years in the past, It Is difficult to see 'What has occurred to prevent changeability now, provided all nations are willing to receive It." When asked why other nations can. not aot independently of (England In the matter of International agreement he said: "Simply because England, or London, Is the financial clearing house of the worl.1, and all commercial balances are practically adjusted through the medium of sterling change or British credit." A SCHOONER STOLEN. The Star of Freedom has Been Missing for Two Weeks. San Francisco, March 25. The little schooner Star of Freedom has been stolen and is now probably engaged In some smuggling scheme along the coast. The vessel has been missing for two weeks. Some time ago a man named Bartels desired to charter the Star of Freedom, but the owner would not let him have the schooner. Bar tels achieved some notoriety about two years ago when he arrived in port on the schooner Achilles, from Port land, Oregon. A telegram was received by Collector Wise .from Portland re questing him to hold the vessel on her arrival as she had been stolen. Bar tels was not prosecuted as he claimed be was part owner in the Achillea. LI HCNO CHANG SHOT. Yokohama, March 25. Resolutions have beect submitted to the Japanese diet regretting the attack upon Viceroy Li Han; Chang,.: who was shot and wocrwled In the face yesterday at 81- r 1 I monoskl when returning from a peace conference, toy a young Jap. The bullelt has not yet been extracted from the face of L,l (Hung Chang, but the conditions la favorable. e has no fever and Is suffering little pain. His assailant, described as a political bra. vo, rushed: from the crowd when the viceroy's palanquin was passing and fifed ait the Chinese statesman. Th bullet entered the left cheek. The af fair has caused the greatest Indigna tion here.: ' " MAY OA USB INTERVENTION. The Attack on Li Hungi Chang May ' Cause Foreign Powers to Step In. 'Washington, March 25. Information coming to the Japanese legation is to the effect that LI Hung Chang's wound is not dangerous, except as complica tions may develop! It Is on the fleshy part of the face, and fortunately no part of the skull has been fractured o any vital organs touched. Prince Li's advanced- age and several constitu tional disorders iwfodch make him al most an Invalid, may aggravate a no wise harmful wound. On his arrival at Slmonosaka he was too sick to leave the ship that brought him. He had to be carried about, this fclelng a. necessity In his case, as well as an honor due his rank. The officials of the Japanese le ration say the offender will be oharg ed with treason, as the assault Is not only against the person of Li Hung Chang, but against the Chinese govern ment. It is prdblable also that theJ . . . j i . n v.. aaiiim.IoI .nil rttT . I iriai win iikj j viui vlctlon by court-martial would mean that the offender would be shot. Dip lomats her4 are Inclined ito believe that the entire peace negotiations may be broken off by the assault, by affording a pretext for European intervention LI ihimself will prevent such a failure however, if ft Is possible. Officials here regard it as sttled that China and Japan have reached an un derstanding by which the former .will extend her territory south from Vladl vostock so as to keep the harbor open the year around. This has been the acquisition iRuasia has long sought as It gives an eastern outlet to the Oreat Siberian railroad. COULDN'T BTANf PROSPERITY. Left a Fortune and Loses It Trying to Get More.
