WALKERTON INDEPENDENT. WALKERTON. . . . INDIANA LOTS OF GOLD MINED. HEAVY OUTPUT Or THE YELLOW METAL IN 1893, France Is Early in the Field to Protect Iler Interests in Morocco—England Will Follow Sult —Spain Already Has t u Cruiser There. Gold Mined Last Year. An abstract of the most important points in the report on the production of the precious metals in 1893, just transmitted to Congress, is as follows: “The world's production of gold and silver in 1893 was the largest recorded in history. It was larger than in the period of 1856-’6O, when the world’s output of gold averaged $133,9’0,000, or 16.08 per cent. less than the value of the gold output of the world in the last calendar year. The value of the gold production alone of t e world in 1893 was only 8.77 percent, le-s than the average total value of both the gold and silver product of the world in 1861-’65. This latter was $170,473,383, only $14 f--951,0 0 more than the value of

the gold product alone in 1893. The average value of the total gold and sliver p.oduct of the world in eight years, 1'66 1873, was $190,831,000 —only 835,399,000 more than that of gold alone in 1893. Mr. Preston says that it may be predicted with certainty the value of the product of gold alone in 1836 or 1897 will be greater than the value of the output of both metals in 1866-1873. A conservative estimate of the probable minimum production of gold in the world in 1894-1895 leads to this conclusion. Humors of War. SERIOUS complications have arisen between France and England over the death of Muley Hassan, Sultan of Morocco, and the two powers may become involved in war, with the possibility of Spain being drawn into the quarrel. Already France has dispatched warships to Tangier, and England will certainly follow suit, while Spain already has a formidable cruiser there. Then again civil war is very likely to follow in Morocco between the adherents of the rival claimants for the Sultanate, including the two sons of Muley Hassan and a brother of the dead Sultan, which will serve t » still further complicate th situation. Four French warships, under Admiral Le Bourgeois, have started for Tangier from Toulon, France. The ironclads Magenta, Admiral Duperre and Alger, under Admiral Gadauu, have also been ordered to place themselves in readiness to sail for Moiocco at the shortest notice. In addition the big Spanish cruiser Conde Venadito has already arrived at Tangier and is anchor© 1 in the harbor. The news of the dispatch of a French, fleet t) Morocco and of the preparations in France to re-enforce it has caused no little excitement in London and is atti acting a great deal of attention throughout England.

The other night Frank Richards and Charles Neely were returning home after escorting Misses Birdie and Laura Lott from chut ch to their home.

The President has signed the New York and New Jer ey bridge bill.

He shows that 13,625 survivors of the Mexican war are borne on the rolls in addition to 7.611 widows, making in all 21,236. The Indian war pensioners number 6.170. The United States revenue cutter Hear is almost a total wreck, and possibly by this time is battered to pieces. That informatit n is received from the officers, who say the vessel is fast on the rock at the entrance to the harbor at Sitka, Alaska. The steamer was going into the harbor at good speed en the night of May 20, when it struck, and all efforts to get idW were unavailing. It went on at high water, and the ofEcers say they have little hope of ever getting' it off. The stern wa- the part to suffer the most, and the dispatch says that the rudder, propeller and stern post were gone and in a sea the vessel must surely break up, as it would be impossible for it to stand any amount of pounding on the jagged points of the rock.

MULEY HASSAN DEAD. SULTAN OF MOROCCO MURDERED BY HIS ENEMIES. He Meets Death While Traveling in the Interior of the Country—Exciting Career of the Dead Sultan—Miners Blow Up a Bridge. Succeeded by His Son. Muley Hassan, the Sultan of Mo- । rocco, is dead. He died in the interior । while traveling between the capital । and Rabat. Details of his death are I y° T iredger, but the belief prevails ( in lang.er. where the representative, of the foreign Governments are in consultation, that the murder was instii gated by the entourage of the Sultan's 1 son, Mu.ai Abdul Aziz. Thus farnodisIturbances have been announced. It is thought that the French, Spanish and English governments will sift thoroughly the circumstances of the death of Muley Hassan, and if the smp cion o’ mu der is confirme 1 there may be a forcible joint inti rvention on the subject of the succession. It is not unlikely that intern tional complications will ensue be ore the succession is settled. After Turkey, Mor. cco is the greatest prize in the world. It is larger than Spain or France, or the whole German Empire. In the time of the Caesars it was the granary of 1 qme, and it retains its fertility to this day. The country is equally rich lin minerals. It is worth fighting for. The recent Riffian war pointed this out clearly: and it has been an open secret in English diplomatic circles that after Muley Hassan would come a “deluge.” ; Should there be a combined action beI tween England. Spain and France to j drive out the Moor the result would be u holy war. The Moor won 11 not surrender at the first summons. His cry I would l o taken up along the whole coa t of northern Africa, and the greate't of all tragedies, a war of races and religions, would assuredly follow. Th»» Strike May Eu<i. Monday night the Columbus (Ohio! conference of ojo ators and miners unanimou-ly adopted the report of the Sea e Committe > settling the strike and adjourned sine die. The agreement Is practically the comprcmise of o) and 69 cents per ton proposed by the operators at the outset of the conference. The miners secured just half the advance they asked for. This conference represented the competitive district emb a ing Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Eastern and Northern Illinois, and so important is the district in the bituminous coal industry that this is regatded as practically a settlement of the national strike The result of the conference has been telegraphed to the mining villages everywhere and has arouted the miners’ indignat ion. They are set on get ing 79 cents, and State officials are beginning t » fear that the worst outbreak is yet to come. Indiana miners denian led 70 cents, and arc reported dissatisflel with the compromise. It was agreed in conference that work should not be resumed for a week. Tois leads to the irolief that the determination of the miners to accept no compromise can be mollified. Uho Dynamite nnd Torch. Striking miners placed dynamite under the big iron bridge on the Kansas ( ity. Memphis and Birmingham Railroad, near Carbon Hili, Ala., and blew it up. Shortly afterward the long trestle six miles east of that place was set on fire and burned. NEWS NUGGETS. The Controller of the Currency has appointed < har es S.
