nARKrna LIGHT WEIGHT coin.

United States Treasurer Gflfllan has
made a statement to the secretary rf the
treasury in regard to the manner of mark
ing light weight gold coin and redeeming
clipped silver coin at its bullion value in
stead of at its coinage value by weight
He states that lit is the practice OF the
sub-treasury officers to mark gold coins,
which. when rendered at their full face
value in payment of public dues. upon be-
ing weighed, are found to be short of the
weight at which they can, under the law,
be accepted at their full face value. This
is done because of the action of banks and
others in paying out full face valuation
on coins which have been repeatedly re-
turned to the treasury officials because be-
low the least current weight To avoid
the labor of weighing the same coins over
and over again. the coins are marked when
they are rejected The mark is in no
sense mulilation, as it takes away none
of the substance of the coin. 1t
does not destroy the legal ten

ing under the law can do that which does

not destroy the identity of the piece as a
gold coin Gold coins however mutilated
or abraded, are a legal tender at their
weight. The marking does not affect their
value. They are not light because they
are branded, but they are branded because
they are light. As to silver coins. the
principle was established nearly two hum
bred years ago that the public should bear
the loss upon clipped silver pieces. There
is no existing law authorizing the treas
ury to take mutilated coins otherwise than
by weight, and if the history of clipped
coin in England in 1885 is regarded there
probably never will be. Since the action
of the mint in receiving mutilated silver
cain at its bullion value by weight such
coin has been discredited by the public, and
has virtually disappeared from circulation.
Silver coins. however much reduced in
weight by natural abrasion, are redeem
able at any subtreasury at full face value.
1t would be small penalty or none at all
against clipping should clipped pieces be
redeemed at their coinage value by weight

THE NEwHALL INQUEST.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. a0.--The interest in
| the Newhall House inquest was renewed
| TO day by the testimony of various firemen.
| Chief Lippert said the telegraph wires
had been very much in the way, but he did
1 not give orders to cut the wires. The de-
| partment has no reel and horses for es-
cape purposes. If the fire companies of
the department had not been at the other
| fire, more lives could have been saved at
! the burning OF the hotel. The latter had
no sufficient fire escapes, in the opinion of
| witness; but the Newhall Honse was near
" as well provided with escapes as any
other hotel.
The testimony of other firemen agreed
with Lippert in the main points. David
Rose, secretary of local board of under
writers, testified that he had examined the
hotel shortly before the fire, in regard to
an insurance rate. He found the hose on
pegs instead of reels. The drying room
was extremely dangerous, the proprietors
refusing to substitute wire for the wooden
bars He consequently addressed circu-
lar to the agents advising them that the
rate should not be reduced. The Newhall
House rate was higher than that of any
other hotel on account of its dangerous
condition.
Several firemen testified as to being
timid in entering the building, because
they knew it was re-trap.
The district attorney stated, in answer
to the question of juror, that he had
endeavored to show that the fire was in
cendiary, but that any positive evidence to
that effect would be taken advantage of by
the other side, and that he could not pre-
sent all the evidence in possession of the |
prosecution without injury to the case
against Scheller The jury disagreed and |
all the evidence. The district |
attorney replied that if the jury was not |
satisfied with the evidence that the fire |
was incendiary, they would return, per
force, verdict of accidental.
THE LOSSES AND INSURANCE ADJUSTMENTS.
CINCINNATI Jan. 30-John L. Coving
ton, superintendent of the insurance
company of this city, has returned
from Milwaukee, having completed the
of the adjustment of the
Newhall House. He makes the loss on
he building $4,000; insurance, SIS, 800;
oss on contents, $31, 900; insurance, S23,-
100. He says the construction of the
building was no more hazardous than that
If most hotels, while the appliances con-
idered valuable to extinguIsh fire were
more numerous in it than in most hotels.
The Cincinnati insurance companies will
'ay their insurance without litigation.

ANOTHER BLIZZARD.

ST. PAUL. JAN 31-The worst storm of
the season set in at 2 o'clock this morn
ing, and up to tonight continues una
bated. The snow fall is accompanied
by high wind, and the air is filled with
dry snow. Country thoroughfares and
cuts on the railroads are drifted so as to
cause nearly the entire suspension of trav-
ell Further west the storm does not pre-
vail. It seems to have come from north
of the British line, sweeping te1the south
east. No incoming passenger trains have
arrived daring the day, and but few were
sent out. The z-eugh Chicago trains
are several hours behind
