EULOGIZES GOLD STANDARD wr Governor Shaw of Iowa Takes a Hopeful View of Affairs, Says in His Ini real Address That the Industrial and Finacial Skies Are Brightening. OL [Spo eecte: DES MOINES, Ioma,; Jpnuary 13.—Gov- ernor Leslie M. Shaw, wag inaugurated to- day. In the course of his address he said: “It is a matter worthy of hote thatour in- dustrial and financial skies are brighten- ing. After the experience of unrest, dis- trust, doubt, fear, disaster and much of ruin through which we have passed, no thoughtful man questions the truth of the Proposition that we are entering upon a Period of improved conditions. “It would seem from the sufferings through which we have so lately passed that no one able to commiseraté:the home- less, the helpless, the friendless and the destitute will again attempt to revolution- ize the single gold standard, the beneficent effects of which we have enjoyed since January, 1879. “Not only the people of Iowa, -but the entire nation is to be congratulated that it has at last learned the necessity of a sin- gle standard, and the supreme convenience, at least, of making that standard gold. It has also learned the necessity of maintain- ing the parity with gold of each and every kind of money now circulating, or that may be created, for in finance, as well as in mathematics, things equal to the same thing are equal to each other. When each form of our money is directly or indirectly redeemable or readily exchangeable at par for gold it passes current under every sky, beneath all flags and at all ports. Anything short of this is an embargo on American commerce. “It seems to be conceded by business men, and statesmen as well, that our na- tional currency needs reformation. The various plans devised, and formulated, and recommended, all tend in the same direc- tion with greater or less abruptness. It is urged that the country will not consent to the retirement of the greenbacks and the issuance of any form of money in lieu thereof. This may be true, but -if true it proves the existence of an ill-advised prej- udice. Concede the necessity of maintain- ing the parity of each form of currency with gold, and the necessity of some modi- fication of the present system is, apparent. “That the gold standard should be main- tained was the verdict of 1896 by a million majority. The fact of notice that the case will be retried in 1900 will not justify a de- lay in placing the country on a safe finan- cial basis. To do this demands the best and most stable form of paper currency. No one presumes to recommend, a contrac- tion of the currency. No one would limit us to the use of gold as a medium of ex- change. All that is claimed. and all that inheres in the verdict of 1896, is ¢hat the value of each dollar of Un States cur- rency, whether of coin or paper, shall be the value of 25.8 grains of standard gold.” — CAN REACH DAWSON ON ICE. C. F. Treat Talks of Situation at the Gold Fields. SEATTLE, Wash., January 13.—C. F. Treat, one of the Alki’s fiassengers, who has been the chairman ‘af every meet- ing held at Dawson ;ta discuss the food question, says: “If meoessary, a govern- ment expedition could reach Dawson over the ice by using dogs, but the scarcity has been relieved alfgady, by people com- ing and going down the river.” A. Piele and George Stevens made the journey from Dawson to Dyea in twenty- one and a half @aysa: |» “Our coldest day was 37 degrees below ’ said Piele. “You may not believe it, but that was our best day for traveling. » started from Dawson with four dogs and 700 pounds on our sleds and traveled us much as fifty miles a day. That is good traveling, but, you understand, we did not walk, we rode. Sam Archer characterjzes the story that the mother lode had been discovered in Skookum gulch as a fairy tale. At Thirty- Mile river Mr. Archer ‘and party met a man named Vest from Portland, Ore., who, with his partner, in a sorry condition. They were attempting to take to Dawson several hundred frozen eggs. To escape sleighing along the river banks they built a raft, Intending to float down to the Hot- talinqua. Their raft had been wrecked and they had lost most of their pro their tent, stove, blankets and tool: narrowly escaped drowning themselves. “When we first saw them,” said Archer, “I took them to be men driven desperate by hunger and hardship, they looked so badly. Their dozs were so poor they could hardly stand. We gave them an ax, and I suppose they got relief at the Canadian station, twenty miles further on.” ee The Wise-Young Contest.

SPORTS IN GENERAL Cornell and Yale Eights Not Likely to Race. DOYLE NOT OPPOSED 10 COMING HERE Showalter, the Chess Expert, Visit- ing the City. BASKET BALL NOTES —.___ The Yale-Cornell correspondence relative to an eight-oared race has been published, and from the tenor of remarks at Yale the Prospects are against crews of the two in- stitutions meeting. Cornell nas done the generous thing in sacrificing what right- fully belongs to her as the winner of last summer's race, the right to choose time and select course, but though she makes this concession she demands a race in 189) in return. If Yale does not see fit to aceept Cornell's answer the blue and the carnelian and white will not meet this year. Harvard and Cornell will surely meet this year, as will Pennsylvania and Cornell and Colum- bia and Cornell. If Yale accepts Cornell's conditional an- swer and Harvard is willing, there will Probably be two triangular races at New London this year. In the event of Yale and Cornell not meeting it is hoped that Columbia, Cornell, Harvard and Punnsyl- vania will row @ quadrangular race at Poughkeepsie. The sentiment at Yale is strongly against having any further negotiations with Cor- nell. The undergraduates say that Cornell has not accepted Yale’s invitation and that therefore ends the matter. In the faculty the feeling is even stronger. One member of the faculty said that Yale could only express her regret that Cornell had not ac- cepted Yale's invitation and say nothing more about the matter. As this professor is in close touch with the managers of the boat club it is safe to say that this will be the course followed by Yale in her reply to Cornell’s letter. Toward the close of November Capt. Col- son of Cornell received the following letter from Capt. Payne Whitney of Yale: “The Yale University Boat Club hereby challenges the Cornell Univ. Club to row a four-mile cigh: race at New London, Conn., the race to be rowed one week to ten days after our an- nual race with Harvard, next June. It would be agreeable to us'to hav you join our dual contest with Harvard and make it a triangular one, if satisfactory to them.” The following communication was sent to New Haven “The Cornell Navy wisies to express its gratification at the receipt of a prop ion from the Yale University Poat Club look- ing to an eight-oared race the coming sea- son. We shall have great pleasure in ac- cepting the proposition, provided such ar- rangements of place and time are made as will insure a fair and complete test, aud will enable us also to satisfy the just claims of other competitors who have met us in former years and may now wish to meet us again. In view of the possible al- ternatives involved in the proposition and of the necessity of considering mutual con- venience, we suggest an informal confer- ence of representatives of Yale, Harvard and Cornell ‘The conference was held at Albany, Capt. Colson of Cornell, Goodrich of Harvard and Whitney of Yale being present. For five hours they talked, though at the time of breaking up nothing in particular had been accomplished, aside from the fact that Capt. Colson’ was led to believe that Yale would under no circumstances arrange to meet Cornell for another year. Monday evening the following was unani- mously decided upon by Corneil’s athletic council and sent to Yale: “The Cornell Navy accepts the proposi- tion of the Yale Boat Club for a four-mile, eight-oared race the coming season at the place and time named by. Yale, providing Cornell be allowed in return to name the place and time of a similar race for the next year. Cornell expresses furthermore her acceptance of Ya 8 suggestion to merge the race of this year (Harvard ing) in a triangular race with Harvard.” IN NO HURRY TO SIGN. Jack Doyle Arrives in Baltimore and Talks of His Transfer to Washington. Jack Doyle, it is reported, arrived in Bal- timore Tuesday night. Jack is on his way home from California, and will spend a few days in the monumentai city, for which he has a warm regard, notwithstanding the fact that he is no longer an Oriole. When the Argonauts scattered after their Cali- fornia tour Doyle remained behind, visiting friends at Los Angeles. Jack is reported to be looking finely, and to be in great good spirits. He talked somewhat freely about the deal which transferred him to Washington. “Of course,” he said, “I did not expect to go to Washington, and would much have preferred to go to New York or Brooklyn, but I believe I can do good work in Wash- ington, and make a reputation for myself there “It is not in good taste for me to say much about the deal, but under the circum- stances I think it was a good thing for both teams. I like Baltimore and have been well treated here, and generally I like the men on the team, but there were some of them that I could not get along with, and it was best that I should go away from Baltimore. I am not going to roast the men that I had trouble with. The fact that I couldn't get along with them doesn't make them out bad fellows. It was just that we couldn't hitch.’” When asked about that reported scrap with Corbett in San Francisco, Doyle ts re- ported to have said: ‘That’ was grossly exaggerated. We did -ave a little differ- ence, but it was all patched up and we parted as good friends as ever. I want to say right here that I think Joe Corbett is as fine a fellow as there is in the business.” When asked about signing with Wash- ington, Doyle was rather non-committal. “I am in no hurry about signing yet,” he said. ‘I would not put my name to a con- tract at this time if Wagner should offer me $5,000. I have a business proposition in view that may take me out of base ball. I mean this seriously. It is no bluff. If I conclude to sign I don't believe I shall have any difficulty with Wagner. I have a pretty good idea of what I am worth, but I am not disposed to be unreasonable.” Doyle seems to think that Reitz would make a hit in Washington. “They have never had his like for sureness over there,” he said. “I think, too, Reitz will play bet- ter there, he will not be so anxious and nervous as he was here. He was very nervous about his batting last year, and that bothered him a great deal.” Doyle was very sweet on Amole, too, and thought the Senators had got a coming man in the young left-hander. Jack will remain in Baltimore until Sun- day, when he will go to his home, in Holyoke. SHOWALTER HERE. Will Play the Leading Local Players ‘Tomorrow Night. Mr. Jackson W. Showalter, the well- krown chess expert, arrived in the city yesterday and was a guest last evening of the Washington Chess, Checker and Whist Club. Tomorrow evening he will give an exhibition of his ability at the rooms of the club and will play simultaneously all who wish to meet him. All interested in chess are Invited to be present. The local club has won a high place in national chess circles and has been honored by the visits of the leading experts, includ- ing Pillsbury and Hodges, and now Show- alter, BASKET BALL. Efforts to Bring the Famous Han- cock Team Here. Mr. 8. Porter House, the president of the District Basket Ball Leegue, is trying to arrange @ game with the strong Hancock Athletic Union team of Philadelphia. The Hancocks last week defeated the Yale team that downed the W. L. I. C., and a game between that team and the latter would arouse much interest here. Mr. House be- lieves that the arrangements for the game will soon be completed. The Corcoran.Cadet Corps defeated the gcvernment printing office by a score of 8 to 4 in a game of basket ball playec last night at the Globe building. The Corcorans generally excelled in team work, displaying seme clever work in passing and throwing for goal. The line-up: cc. Cc. left center. Dougherty Goals from field, first half—C. C.

The Carrolls and Washington Athletic Club are tied for first place in the league standing and the Fenci- ‘bles occupy third place, so that a game won or lost just now means a change all down the line, " WASHINGTON CLUB STAKES.
