director of the mint has pre-
pared his statement in regard
to the present money in cir-
culation in thirty-nine princi-
pal countries of the world as
compared with the circulation
reported a year ago, which
shows a decrease in gold cir-
culation of about $£>2,000.000;
increase in silver circulation,
$52.000.000, and an increase
in paper circulation of $112,-

ciously murdered
by a ruffian.
'La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 16-
3P. ^A. BfltlilU; president of
the Blaine and Logan club
here, was shot dead by a ruffian
known as Sootty, at 8 o'clock
this evening, while the Repub-
licans were forming in proces-
sion. The murderer was ar«
rested and hurried to jail be
fore the immense crowd could
realize what had occurred.
As cyon as the fact was made
known there was the most in-
tenso excitement, and hun
dreds of men in myform and
carrying their torches hurried
to the court house* yard and
demanded that the prisoner
be banded over to them.
4 Lynch him! lynch him/" wjia
the general cry, and at this
moment, 8:40, there a-e hun-
jail. Sheriff Scott, Chief of
Police Clark and a posse of
police are at the jail door try
ing to calm the infuriated
multitude. No violence has
been done yet, and none may
take place, but there is an
awful current of public feeling.
The body of Mr. Burton has
been taken to the drug stor*
of T. H. Spence, where an
examination shows life was
extinct; every shot taking ef
feet.
Those who stood near the
scene of the murder say the
man advanced from the crowd
on the sidewalk to within a
few feet of his victim, and
fired the first bullet into his
back. Mr. Burton fell to the
pavement, and the murderer
followed with six shots into
his body and head. He then
threw the revolver at his vie
tim and gave fiim a kick, say-
ing: "That's a son of a— that
knows me, and that 1 have
been looking for," or words to
that effect. All this was done
in a minute's time, and before
any one could realize what
had happened.
Mr. Burton was a broker
and commission merchant for
J. H. Lowrey, of Milwaukee,
and son-in-law of Captain J.
H. Moulton. agent for a St.
Paul company here. He was
one of the best known men
and most prominent, young
business men in the North-
west. He was chosen president
of the Blaine and Logan club
at La Crosse and wis man-
aging the campaign in thissec-
tion,
The motive of the murder
is not known. Sootty is said to
be a most desperate chara ter,
who has followed the river
for a living, and has served a
term in the state prison. After
throwing the first revolver at
his victim it was found that
he hud another in his pocket,
but he was arrested before he
had an opportunity to use it.
If the crowd had a responsible,
cool-headed leader, the nttir
