BURLBIGH SENATOR DEPEW HOME AGAIN Interesting and Instructive Talk With Him on Condi- tions Abroad. Senator Chauncey M. Depew was a passenger on the American Lino steam- ship Philadelphia, which arrived at New York Saturday morning. Accom- panied by Mrs. Depew and his son. Chauncey M. Depew, Jr., Senator De- pew sailed for Europe on June 11. He divided the time he was abroad in London, Paris and Lucerne. While In suffered a week's illness in Paris, there was no trace of it as he stood on tht deck of the vessel. He seemed in ro bust health. Asked about politic*, hf- said he had been out of touch with tht situation so long that he was not fa miliar with what was going on. but turning to European affairs he said: The most noticeable change in Eu rope since my visit last year is the dis appearance of the American terror Then there was a panic of industrial fear of American invasion. The pro- ductive possibilities of the United States were exaggerated until cal: were consulting seriously about protec- tive measures, either in tariff walls or in concerted action by the powers. That fear has disappeared. It was too hyi terieal to last. The foreign mind is now not so much how to keep the prod- ucts of American mills, factories and furnaces out, as to copy methods, and then with their cheaper labor they hope to hold their markets at home and abroad. P»ut their study of our industrial development and sue cess, which is very careful and ex huustive,. has produced a widespread desire to combine with us. They great trusts and are rapidly creating larger ones, but are quite satisfied to join in with similar combinations in tho United States and leave the ma nap ment in American hands. They have faith in American initiative and push to get things together and mak< concern, however big. work successful- ly. This feeling has been conspicuously shown in the popularity of the shipping combination. It first aroused fear and intense hostility, but in a few months this has changed into a desire to join. French Would Enter, Too. So complete .is this that even the French, the most conservative and of nations, are seriously con- sidering the advantages which would rue to their lines by entering the combination. The German Emperor is the most modern, up to elate and bril- liant ruler Europe has known in a gen- iration. He is alert to seize upon ev- erything- which will promote German commerce and increase the prestige of Germany as a world power. He took characteristically quick and Ameri- can way of ascertaining the scope and purpose of American enterprises by brushing away all formalities and in- termedinrier. nrd oxt-vidiii.T to J. Pier- pont Morgan and his party hospitali- and courtesies quite unheard of in the relations betv.\oen sovereigns and 'itizeiis. It may be taken for grunted if he can find any advantage for G<T- or interna- tional combinations under American management that there will be no hes- itation about the position which Ger- luiiy will take. The most interesting political situa- tk:i and dramatic contrast are pro- duced by the educational legislation in England and France. It is a singular tuation for the English Government to be forcing through Parliament a 3 support parochial and chv.rch t'chool.-i by local taxation, and Frr.r.ce at the same time to be c!osi3:g these church schools which ?.:e self-supporting. All the Nonconfoi::i- relijiious bodies in Gver.t Britain aroused ag-am&i: this measure as they have not been since they so often gave to Gladstone the following which won for him great victories. Oh the >ther hand, in France, which is a Catholic country, the Catholics are in- dignant almost, to revolt against the expulsion of the Sisters, who are the teacher: schools. about our country, and that little so unimportant or inaccurate that I cite two instances. Americans abroad eagerly scanned the papers after the Fourth of July to find out what the President had done to make the day memorable for the Philippines in the promulgation of the scheme of govern ment for the island? and hopeful promise, and how it had been celebrated at home. But the only news was a column account of a din- ner given to a monkey at Newport with a large and fashionable company, and then, following, endless editorial comments on the strenuous efforts of the ennuied and fabulously wealthy to find amusement and recreation and kill time. It gravely reported at a shilling a word by qable that the monkey had on a morning instead of a dress suit, but that he would adopt the usages of society in the subsequent entertain- ments arranged in his honor, and that he behaved with a propriety which aroused general admiration until the nuts were served, when his natural in- stincts got the better of his education. Decline in Gold Product The decline in the gold product of the United State which is reported j by the director of the mint for 1901 j 1 not cause any uneasiness. The output for the calendar year 1900 wate $79,171,000. That for 1901, which is just reported, was $78,666,700, a fall- In a village where I happened to be over Sunday I found in the reading room of the hotel a newspaper contain- ing a cable dispatch from New York which said that the directors of the Rock Island Railroad Company had voted to issue to the stockholders of the company as a free gift $500,000,000 in face value of new stock and bonds, and with the comment that thus Amer- ican multimillionaires are made by the stroke, of a pen. I then attended a little church in the place. The pastor said the church was struggling with a debt for the first time, but he hoped the liberality of the visitors would wipe it out before the season closed. He then with some trepidation stated the nt to be 12.\5 francs. As a fninc is about 20 cents, one can see the extent of the burden. With my mind too much occupied with the •al amnesty [ mg o ff o f a little over $500.00. Alaska, Colorado and other producing centers fell off in the year, while California and a few other places made slight gains. The reason assigned for the de- cline in Alaska was tihe lateness of the hich curtailed the number of days at which work could be prose- cuted. In Colorado the shrinkage has been due chiefly to a lower average yield of the ore in the Cripple Creek district. This is the first time since 1890 that any single year in the United States has reported a decline as compared witth its predecessor. For a decade there was a constant gai fields of the country, which made an advance from $33,000,000 in 1890 to a little over $79,000,000 in 1900. ~~ shrinkage, however, in 1901 doee necessarily mean that the output for the country has reached its limit. The indications, in fact, are the other way Experts who know the Alaska field say that mining in tnat vatet region has not really made its beginning yet. While the Yield of the Nome field may not equal the .recent sanguine expec- tations, Nome is only a very small speck on the map of Alaska. A considerable part of the 'gain in production in the contiguous part of the United States in recent years has been due less to the discovery of new veins than to the improvement in tihe processes for the extraction of the on Old mines which were formerly aban- doned as being unprofitable under the appliances then available are begin- nimg to be worked with success under the new methods.

The situation has produced the anom- alous condition that every socialistic Wage is passing vigorous resolu- tions for the enforcement of the law nd standing by the government, while the most conservative classes in the country are in many departments openly resisting and defying the law and the authorities. In both England and France there are in these ques- ions lively possibilities for the defeat >f the party in power and a realign- ment of party relations. The Taft Negotiations. The negotiations with the Vatican on the question of the friars and their lands in the Philippines have done more in a few weeks to educate Europe about our position in the war with ?pain and our possession aad govern- ment of the archipelago than all the diplomacy and literature since the be- ig of that contest. Particularly on the Continent is this noticeable. Oor itude and purposes have been the •me of discussion in the press and •lesiastical circles. They are thor- , r hl, proved. The general hostility toward us which was so marked among most Continental powers and peoples on ae- ahout the ifioM.OOO.OOO Rock Island bo- nus and this church struggling with a debt of $25, I could not help sermon- izing to myself how one's sense of proportion could be violently wrenched! A steady increase in the cost of living in Europe is necessitating frequent ad- rances in wages. This addition to the cost of production over there is helpful exports. Modern requirements in different communities are one of the chief causes of this addition to living expenses. Municipalities which have existed ages under mediaeval conditions without change are now demanding water, sewage sanitation, electric light- ing, parks and better streets and roads. The result is increased taxation, which causes additions to rents, and then fol- ow the tax and rent added to the prices for food, fuel and clothes. All this has ritliin a few years, but, as the people become educated on the 1 subject, these improvements spread and in- rate which upsets the ideas of centuries of growth and all old cal- culations. There is little public spirit demanding accountability from public officials in these communities. I was told of one town where, to save taxes for improvements, the Mayor and Coun- cil decided to sell the public park. Then they bought as individuals and were already reimbursed by the sale of half. Really, these old and effete civilizations can give points to the official plunderers of our cities. It is an object lesson in the study of forestry to ride through Switzerland. The cultivation of the valleys and hill and mountain sides sustains a large aud vigorous population, and the farms exist solely by the application of an in- telligent system of forest preserves con- tinued for centuries. Without it Swit- zerland would be a desert. We have by our reckless disregard of our forests permitted enough land to become a desert in the United States to sustain n comfort a population ten times that of Switzerland. We should wake up to this necessity before still greater and more irreparable damage is done. It is amusing to note the different vay in which t'.:e Monroe Doctrine is -iewed in England and on the Conti- nent. The Continentals assert that this can never be sustained, but they are not ready to fight over it yet. The English now regard it as a good thing for the following reasons: If the war world against Eng- | Stated in gold production.

It has cool- ed off perceptibly on. the Philippines. Republicans are far ahead in practical Ideas touching the regulation of trusts. Financial questions are avoided by Democrats. War taxation has ended. The tariff iffiue is open, if the Demo- cratic party cares to make that the pivot of the contest, <but, in the light of what happened a few years ago, bhey would rather be excused. Pros- perity still abides throughout tihe land. Business men generally, are crowded with orders and every wheel is turning except in the few places where strikes are in progress. Last year's treasury operations ended with a big surplus, and there will probably be a balance on the right side, in spite of immense tax reductions, when the fiscal year closes ten months hence. The Democratic party has failed to find an issue in the year 1902 simply because there is none on wfoich oppo- sition politics can be intelligently bas- ed. But Democrats can console them- selves with the fact uiat no issue is as iprofitaftle as the rejected issuer the party has been chasing for forty years. It abandoned the issue of sound money and left Mr. Cleveland in the lurch because he had a different opinion as to that movement. Where is the issue of the 40-cent dollar today? W(here are the other Democratic isteues that have been insisted on in the past? A Democratic paper in Brooklyn says the party this year will vote on instinct, and it considers the idea pleasing. The Democratic party is reduced to the ne- cessity of voting against Republican policies without being able to give a specific reason for it It is safe to ,y the next Congress will not be elect- ed on instinct.

The Alaskan boundary is fixed by the Angjlo-R)ufesian treaty of 1825, and it is in that document and the negotiations which led to it that the true intent of the con- tracting parties is expressed. Boun- dary lines put up by a Russian t_. veyor would be merely indicative of the opinion of an inferior official ai bo the location of the line; the treaty alone is of binding effect. On the main 'point of contention— namely, the claim of Canada to an outlet to the sea—the intent of the parties is beyond dispute. The ante- cedent correspondent shtows that it was Russia's purpose to bar the Brit- ish fur traders of the interior from access to the Pacific coast, and by her final agreement that the boundary should follow the crest of a range of mountains supposed to run parallel to the coast Great Britain set the seal of approval on Russia's demand. A mountain crest ten marine leagues distant from the coast surely cannot be supposed by the contractors to be washed by tidewater. Canada has no legitimate claim to a foot of coast land.

Wall street 'hap heard and believes the rumor, and Western Union stock has fteen forced upward steadily, despite the fact that the company is about o suffer a heavy loss by the transfer of business to the Postal company made by the Pennsylvania Railroad company. It is believed that before the en-i of :his year the telegraph -business th< not a probability, is ever entered upon England knows she need have no fear about her Canadian possessions and her West ludki ies, as the Unit- ed States must maintain the integrity of these colonies. They reason that the fundamental principle of the Mon- roe Doctrine is that the United States .vill not specially permit any European and .try Monarchial Power to ac- any territory in the Western Hemisphere which it does not already hold. Hence the United States must tight, if necessary, to prevent the con- quest and partition of Canada. This will leave England all her ships and resources for use elsewhere. England regards it as a wise policy, while Con- country will \be in the hands of one gigantic system, with more than 60.- 000 offices and $150,000,000 capital. The merger is made possible by tihe death of John W. Mackay, founde of the Postal Telegraph and Commer- cial Cable companies. The Mackay stock in the Postal and Commercial companies is said to be a controlling interest, and is owned half by Mrs. Maekay and half by Clarence Mackay, th* son. Clarence H. Mackay is a close 1 friend of -George Gould, and never took any part in the war' be- tween th« rival magnates. He is be- lieved to favor tihe merger, and is raid to have been in communication by cable with George Gould coneera- 'nig it. Among the heavy owners of Postal aud Commercial Cable stock are James Gordon Bennett, Paris; f^ord Stratthcona, London, and Sir William C Van, Ilorne, London. Those who favor the consolidation •ct th\e systems say that by a combi- ation the economies applied woufld make the new company pay eight to ^n per cest dividends, and it is more than folly to continue a rivalry which has cost millions upon, millions. v.*it!) ,he end not yet in sight, iJoon, the companies will have duplicate offices' in thousands of places where there is business sufficient to support only me, and the stockholders must pay the bill. The Western Union TelegTaiph com- my, which was organized in 1856, has capital stock outstanding to the amount of $97,370,000, and a bonded dlebt of $16,660,000. The funded debt rf leased companies is $3,137,000. Since 1891 it has 'paid a dividend of \_ ' five per cent, per annum. The report i of its operations for tlhe year, ending June 30, 1901, gives the following fig- ures: Miles of poles. 192,705; miles of wire, 933,153; offices, 22,900; messages handled, 62,167,783; receipts, $24,768,- 169; expenses, $18,593,205; profits, $6,- 165,363. It reaches 42,193 cities and towns in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Commercial Cable company was organized Dec. 12, 1883. It owns and operates three trans-Atlantic cable known as the Mackay-Bennett m, and their connecting cables 'between Ireland and France and Nova Scotia and New York, a total of 9,- 100 miles of calbles 1 .

They are much higher than they were in the preceding peo- ple period yet buy more .In fact the \high prices are the result of the free buying—the increased demand. The consumption power of the peo- ple is in direct ratio to their ability to buy. Prosperity to the manufactur ing classes thus means prosperity to the farmer. It increases his ability to tray the product of industry, and this increases the demand for the ar tidies iprodiuoed by our manufactories Low prices are thus the index of hard times, while good prices always mean a .prosperous era to the country. tt is well to remember these facts for the apostles of discontent are be- ginning to 'howl about, \high prices\ The latest of these screeds we have seen states that a Mil of goods con- cotton goods, ly and quickly, and bum with a clear intense fliaime tihey make practically rao smoke and are witlhal, the' cheap ost form of fuel for most purposes. \Like most other German imtusst- riea, the briquette manufacture is con trolled by ia ^syndicate which includes antong its metabers thdrty-one firms and companies or more than nine- tenths of all the producers In this country and regulates the output and prices for each year. From tShe offi cal report of the syndicate for 1901 w>hWh has recmtly appeared it is teamed that the- total output for the last yelar was 1,566,385 tons to which •is to be added the product of makers outside of..the syndicate consumed 1 at works <small retail sales Me, mak inlg a total of 1,643,4:16 tons. \The average selling price in large cfuantitles! -wasi $3.16 a ton, against $2 92 for the year previous; so that not withstanding the general relaxation of industrial activity and th« dimin- isliect pressure (urpon the coal supply, the ruling price was the highest that hasbeen realized (since 1891. Of the 1,- 566,385 tons sold 1 tb-y the syndicate 'ast year 749,208 tons were taken by JJ,_ ri—_— —T 124,386 tons ......_ 497,136 tons were sold to factories aad works of various kinds and 149.098 tons or 9.8 per cent were used by th© German merchant steamers aad the nayy, or exported to the German colonies Or neighboring European countries.
