The Chicago Grain Fleet.

The immense grain feet which be.

river, but it will be several days before
all the vessels have passed. The feet
consists of nearly a hundred craft, in
Guiding six line propellers and eleven
steamships. and is probably the largest
that has ever left at one time from
any lake port. The vessels were
strung out purposely in starting, SO as
to avoid punching" in case Of storms

Gus oaFgoes, however, for Erie and
Sandusky, on Lake Erie, for Midland
Sarnia on Lake Huron, and for Oswepo
and Kingston on Lake Ontario. One
cargo goes to Ogdensburg. The grain
is insured for its1ull value, aud the
underwriters are interested 10 the
fleet on cargoes alone, to the extent Of
$3,5Og,OOQ. Take into consideration,
the cost of the ships aud steam /
which carry this grain, and some idea

seen that two thousand families are

where the pines and great oaks bend
overhead like arches of some great
cathedral transept, when we had to
give half the road to modest, looking
one'horse buggy, driven by fat,
pleasant looking lady, who was talking
to a bent and querulous looking old
man. His hair and beard were very
white his eyes werered, and the slight

Phi adelphia Press.


The publication in the Press last
Sunday of an article on old American
coins has given rise to considerable
discussion among coin collectors, and
Is the cause of some chickering's and
heart burnings that may In the near
culture break out into verbal violence
or possibly legal complication. The
intimation that there are numerous
counterfeits of the silver dollar of
1894, and also many that have been
cleverly altered from other dates, was
received by many holders Of supposed
rare coins with anything but approval.
On Monday a gentleman called at the
Press Office and produced a dollar of
1894, presenting Ito the Impractical
eye) every appearance Of being genu-
inc. He did not say how or where he
obtained it, but intimated he wanted
its genuineness tested. He was
directed to call upon j. Oolv;n Ran
dali, Of 1905 Chestnut street, the well
known expert in American coinage.
and did so. Mr.. Randall de,
cided at a glance that the coin was
a genuine dollar, but that it was not of
the lnintage OF 1904. He thought
that its proper date was 1900, and that
the a" had been dextrously set in.
He pointed out that the genuine 1904
the star on the right Of the word
Liberty" is set within hairs
breadth Of the final letter. This is
enc of the peculiarities of the genuine
dollar, and was due to q mistake of
the die engraver. 1t is perhaps, for
tunate that the mistake occurred,
since it absolutely fixes the genuine,
ness Of the few specimens known to
exist.

ANOTHER LEGEND.

Ivan G. Michels, Russian, but a
resident of this country since 1856,
wrote to the Press yesterday denying
that the coinage of the silver dollars
in 1904 went to pay for a cargo of tea,
and also the assertion that the Chinese
coin is all foreign silver. He says they
have no coinage except the cash
which are cast, which are of base
metal, round. with q square hole Ia
the middle. 1t takes 1900 of them to
make the equivalent of an America n
dollar, and The people string them on
cords for convenience Of carriage.
The Chinaman compares the hole in
his cash to the world and the metal
surrounding it to heaven.
Mr.. Michels' legend to account for
the great scarcity of 1904 dollars is
this: On the 10th of June, 1901,
Tripoli declared war against the
United States, but, as Tripoli was a
long way off and couldn't do great
deal of damage to this country, no
very decided action was taken Tor {.
year or two. But in 1903 the Phila,
delphia, of Commodore Brainbridge' 4
fleet, forty four gun frigate, com.
manded by Captain Brsinbridge,
chased light draft vessel into shallow
water, ran aground and was captured
by the TripolitaDS. The officers were
held as prisoners of war, but the IN
fortunate sailors were sold into slavery.
In 1904 Commodore Decatur CALAMITY
recaptured the Philadelphia, bonn
barded Tripoli, and SO scared the Rey
that the prisoners and slaves were
given up. In connection with
Decatur's feet was a land expedition,
which had to march one thousand
miles across sterile desert, and did
it within fifty days. The expenses of
the expedition were betrayed by the
United States but, as nothing but
silver dollars would circulate in that
part of Africa; the whole coinage of
the year--a little over $20,0OO-was
devoted to the purpose. Possibly
some OF tho 1905 might be found In
Tripoll or the surrounding country,
aud as their rarity makes them worth.
from $1,000 to $4,000 each, it might pay
to send out an expedition of collectors
to gather them in. sli
This legend is somewhat different
from that which attributes the scarci-
ty Of the coins to the fact that all the
coinage of 1901 was used for the pay
ment of the cost of a cargo OF tea and
went to China. However, 1t is in.
print in Mr.. Michels' book, aad ought
to be true.

When the $50 north bound train on

Castle on Monday, REPUBLICAN re-
porter noticed an unusual crowd at the

vatiOn discovered the crowd gathered
around large box on the platform.

unfortunate had been suddenly called
