THE MINING CONCRESS TODAY WILL ADOPT FREE COINACE RESOLUTION.

The committee on resolutions of the Mining congress last night in executive session made up their report to the congress which was submitted to the convention this morning. The report is as follows: "tt aeitEAs: The demonetization of silver w ork-ed a practical violation of every contract then ex-isting in trie United States; entailed uncounted louden, reduced prices more than 3J per cent, and its sliect is practically to make debts perpetual, as it takes from the debtor the ability to pay; than it causes a contraction in the currency, which re-duces values until there is no profit left to the fanner, planter or man of small capital, who de-pend upon the sale oi their products for returns ior their labor; tnat we believe ths certificates of the government, backed dollar for dollar by gold and silver coin on deposit iu the treasury of the United Males, is a sate and sound currency and has been approved by the people; tha the gold and silver vt the west, pouring in a steady stream upon the east for forty years, vitalized eerv form ot business there, steadied and upheld the cry of the nation through the great war and made re-sumption possible; and that what w e now demand is as much more to the interest of the east than of the west, as the productions of the east exceed in value the productions of the west, Rfxuited, That the lirst National Mining con-gress is unalterably in favor of lhe principle of uimetalism as approved by Jefferson and llamil- - iii uuitiTO iiuo law ny ccDgress in UM anil ac cepted by the conutry for alt public and private ' ' business for the Jirst eighty yeurs of our country's niftory; taat we ueliete Koid aud silver, not o'nt) to the exclusion of trie other, are the money met-als of the Constitution; that we are opoosed to any law which treats silver as a commodity ; that we believe thai gold and silver should have bylaw teoqual rijrht of uses aud monetary powers: and that ynd we demand of tue congress of the I nited State the enactment of a law by which silvfr shall be coined free iu all the miuts equally W'tn rrold, aud to have with it free and unrestrict- ed money power, and that the coinage be in the ratio of sixteen to one, and when tue coinage i. represented by treasury notes each dollar shall represent Sli'i grains of etaudard silaer to grains of gold. theWhereas, By Eection 3694 it is providpd that coin paid for duties on imported goods shall be set apart tor a special fund, and tfiall be ap-plied first to the payment in coin of the interest on the bonds and notes of the United States; second, to tha purchase or payment of 1 per centum of the entire debt of the United States to be made within each fiscal year, which is to be set apart as a sinking fund, and the interest of which shall, in like manner, be applied to the purchase or payment of the public debt, as the spcretary of the treasury ehall from time to time direct.

Waekeas. The supreme court of the United States at the October term, thereof, while conceding that no direct adjudication thereof had been made, declared the legitimate inferences of several of its decisions to be : 'Thaf the excep- tion e.1 mineral hinds from grants in the acts of co'jgress should be considered to apoly only to inch lands as were at the time of the grant known to be so valuable for their minerals as to justify expenditure for their distinction," and Wiiekeas, This dictum of the supreme court, if it should become law, would invent the Pacific railway companies holding grants of laud from the government with a vast number of the best mines discover,? Iji ithin the liasiu of jid grants, by prpspectors and miners who have located thereon in good faith and developed and sold therein in the honest belief that said grants were limited to agricultural lands only, as "declared in the acts of congress making theui, and Whereas: if snid construction of it become.-th- e law of the land, it will take vast regions of mineral land out of the market, either for future explorations or purchase, to the manifest injury of the people ; wherefore be it Resolved, That the congress protests against any construction of the statutes of the United States which will result in such a system of wholesale confiscation and the enrichment of great combinations already enjoying the bounty of the government, and calls upon the representa- tives of the people in conuress aseemoled to take such prompt and immediate action as may be within the constitutional prerogative to destroy thi" threatened danger. Sesolved, That the Alien act, fit least so far as it operates to exclude foreign capital from invest-ment in mining lands in the territories, is faUe in principle and pernacious in effect and that, there-fore, the interests of the mining territories de-mand at the hands of congress immediate repej-.l- This report is signed by all the members of the committee excepting J. C. Baird cf Wyoming, who submitted the following minority report: I cheerfully subscribe to all the above report, except that I prefer the coining of silver limited to the product of the mines of the United States. Hon. Niles Searles, ex-chi- justice of California in accepting the chairmanship of the convention, emphatically indorsed the unlimited coinage of silver. The congress appointed one vice-preside- from "each state. Chier Skiff, of the mining bureau of the World's fair, was given thirty miuutes to set forth the advantages of the Columbian ex-pos. tion and the necessity of the mining states making an exhibit that would give the world an idea of the importance of the industry. Senator Wolcott, in a brief speech, set at rest all doubts as to his position on the sil-ver question. He hoped congress would shape into proper form such matters as ie legislation, and in closing his remarks said: "No matter what may be the wishes of a majority of the. party to which 1 belong or chief executive, and no matter how much course may remove me from the iits of official patronaire. until some new crosses my vision which is not dimmed, shall, so long as I remain in public life. vote for the free and unlimited coinage of silver." E. R. Holden, as leader of the faction de-manding the coinage of the American pro-duct only, predicted disaster and ruin to the banking aud commercial system of the coun-try if foreign nations were, allowed to unload their silver upon the L'nited States and re-- ! ceive gold in return. He asserted that Mex-ico in another year, would produce more silver than this country, and that one small district in Australia was preparing to pro-duce more silver than Colorado. Charles S. Thomas of Colorado, replied to these arguments and boldly advocated the free and unlimited coinage of silver. On the committee on resolutions the chair-man appointed as members at large; Colonel C. C. Goodwin, of Utah; Tabor, ? of Colorado; Flatiseu, of Mod-- i tana; Robert Mackay, of Canada, and J. J. Mulaly, of Missouri. 1 ' - EXPLORATIOXS IX ALASKA. Lieutenant Schwatka Tells of His Recent Trip to that Territory. Des Moixes, Iowa, Nov. 20. Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka, the Alaska explorer, has returned from his recent trip into the in-terior of that country and is spending a few days with his friends in Des Moines. His party left Juneau, Alaska, January 25. They proceeded up the Nakou river sixty miles, consuming two weeks' time on account of the swiftness of the current, thence across the country eighty miles to a lake of which the natives told them. The lake is nearly 100 miles long by fifteen miles in width and was named by the party Ah-Klai- n (Big Lake.) They then descended the Newberry river for 150 miles, game being plentiful in this region. From Fort Selkirk they went southwest 225 miles to what they supposed to be a region in which copper abounds, but none was found. Several weeks were spent in exploring the Copper river. It is described by the lieutenant as one of the most turbuieut streams he has ever seen in his travels. After ascending mountain peaks in the interior, and taking a number of observa-tions of peaks never before seen by white men, the descent of the Copper river was made in canvas boats for nearly 100 miles. The lieutenant is more than pleased with his discoveries and thinks them of great geo-graphical as well as geological value. After visiting in Iowa a short time he will go to NewJ'oEirtiity. IN; SOUTH AMERICA. CHILE CETS RIGHT DOWN OFF OF HER LOFTY PEDESTAL. Rejecting: the Gratuitous Advice of Great Dritain She Will Offer Every Explana-tion to the United States In Brazil ' anil the Argentine Kepublic. New York, Nov. 20. The llirahl's Val-paraiso correspondent cables: The Chilean government hasdeseended from the lofty pedestal it so long occupied in dealing with the outrageous assault by the mob upon the sailors of the Baltimore. Captain Schley has received a letter from Judge Foster granting his request that our representatives here be furnished by the court of inquiry with copies of all the depositions made be-fore its investigation. This same request had been absolutely refused on all previous occasions. There is no doubt that the Chilean authorities have rejected the London liiu'if d advice, through its sen-sational correspondent, Thompson, that the United states' reasonable demands be treat-ed as a biuff, and, finding our government maintaining a fair but firm attitude, are de-termined to meet it half way. I hear rumors that much speculation is indulged in here aud at Santiago as to the reason for the dis-patch of the American war vessels to the Pacific squadron. There is no doubt that 4,thc news has had a salutary etlect in Chile. tAX tKAN'CISCo, Nov. 0. I he L lilted Stu'es cruiser Sau Francisco arrived from Chile. Admiral Urown, i:i an interview said that his IclU-r- , which had already been prin-ted j.u this country, was sutiicicnt answer to the charges made by the present Chilean government, that he gave iutoruialion to the Balmaedists of the landing of the insur-gents at yuintero. In addition he has made a report to the navy department. lie says that despite the charges atrainst United States Minister F.gan, the hitter's conduct was diguiiiod and impartial. As to the criticism made because Kgan did not send olhcial dispatches concerning the fall of Valparaiso, the Admirai said that the peopie up here did not understand, perhaps, that Mr gau was at Santiago and that all communication between that place and Val-paraiso was shut off for several days. When it reached Kgan in a round-abou- t way lie telegraphed to Washington, but was ignor-ant of the fact that the wirts were down. The admiral says that the report that the Baltimore cut the cable at Iquique is erron-eous. The cable company, which is an American corporation, had a contract with the Chilean government to have the cable working between Lima and Valparaiso by a given time. It ran through Iquique and the who held that port, refused to allow auy messages from Valparaiso to pass to Lima. Baimaceda's government, which- was the only government of Chile recognized by the United states, warned the cable company that unless they opened communication with Lima, according to contract, they would for-feit their charter and privileges. The com-pany made every possible oiler to induce the congressionalists to let balmaeeda's ues-sage- s through, hut in vain. Then the com-pany decided to cut the cable. 1'hS'y hsd a regular cable boat to do the work, but .10 accurate means of measuring the distance from the shore. If cut within a murineleague of the shore the congres-Bionalis- ts could splice it again. So they Baked, UJp' Baltimore to find the distance for 'jis she did by means of her improved' u Cnders.' and the cable was ru; live 'xJf .Winm'-Biite- i , ouL-9d'.- more IhaA a ina!;:ae leagues fro:n shore, the coii4res"iona:isti couid not tamper with it. This wosk did noV cut them otf from com-munication with the world, for they still had the English company's cable. The San t'raucisco will go into the dry goods dock today. It is understood here that the crusier Charleston which left Yo-kohama November 17, will, after coalig at the Sandwich Islands, go direct to South America. Vauis. Nov. 20. SVnor Vienna, who was selected by Balmaceda to succeed him in the prcsidenc3- - of Chile, arrived here yester-day. Regarding the affairs of Chile he re-fused to talk until the public mind there became tranquil and the poli'.ical situation normal. He further said that when the proper time comes he will publish documents iu his possession containing the facts regard-ing these matters and leave history to pro-nounce a verdict as to the part be played in the Balmaceda government. Referring to the general situation in South America, the senor said that on account of Chilean revolution, which had an unsettling influence on the whole continent, a general conflagration was liable to break out at any moment. Brazil, since the proclamation of the republic, had been unable to establish a government having the essential elements of permanence. The divergent interests, polit-ical aud economic, and the dissimilar sym-pathies, customs and temperaments of the inhabitants would inevitaoly lead to the separation of the country into at least two sections, north and south. In Argentine serious thanges are taking place, and a gen-eral outbreak of discontent is impeuding. Even indications of movements of a dis-quieting nature are observable by the stu-dent of politics.

Notwithstanding the semi-official denial which comes from Weisbaden of the report that the object of De (liers, Russian foreign minister, in visiting Paris was to conclude a treaty of alliance between his government and France, the Gcfth is, which is the organ of the Count of Paris, publishes au article this morning which shows that it is that paper's belief that a treaty of that sort is alone the reason for the Russian minister's visit.

There was an item in a morning paper the other day giving the information that sev-eral farmers in Utah valley who had planted us;ar beets this summer had lost money on their crop and would not plant another. Amonar those mentioned was John Beck, g Mr. Beck contradicts the report and says j that on the contrary, he is pleased with the Jj experience he has had iu beet raising, that I the crop has been a profitable one and that Jj he shall plant as many acres next year as he 1 did this and probaldy'morc.
