Williams of Illinois spoke in favor of
the free coinage of silver, and he contend
ed that gold did not have fixed value.
Its nominal value was fixed, but it's rela-
tive value changed. Under the caucus
bill, he said, the secretary of the treasury
could comply with the law and not in
crease the circulation more than 81 ,0O0,-
600 year. Some silver syndicate could
present 100000 ounces of silver to the
secretary the first month, and receive
notes therefor. 1t could then return the
notes and take out the silver, and the fol-
lowing month again present its silver.
And this could continue from month to
month and from year to year. After sew

Vivian to the Marquis Of Salisbury, "yet

struction and equipment Of vessels are

In the case Of Curacao, the colony itself
paid the " so-called i" subsidy for the
transport Of the mails. Russia, which
has no commerce, gives subsidies to
many lines running to outposts and
colonies, and the concession to one Of
the most important lines to CONSTANT
nople was allowed to expire last year.
Turkey pays no subsidies. This ex-
hausts Consul. New, England, Russia
and the smaller European states.
Germany, as o part Of her colonial
policy, only pays about n million
dollars year for the service. Spain
pays subsidies, but the lines do not pay
dividends, and most Of the ships are
owned In England. Italy pays bounties
on ship building and has mail contracts
to colonies, and following the lead Of
France both Italy and Austria support
some lines by subsidy, but their expert

Ing than that Of France, and there Is no

JOHN JACOB AsroR's gift by will to tho
Astor library 10 fiercely criticised. II IL
said that the institution Is little moro than
monument, though noble one, to the
family whose name it bears that the rich
trustees who look after its affairs draw large
'tips" for attending board meetings, while
the scholarly men who make 1t ofservice to
the public "are paid less money for moro
brains than is the case anywhere else in
the world where money hires brains"
Tho New York Star says "care Is also
taken that mono Of the money shall
be spent in making the library of
service to anybody but tho well-to
do. None of 1t is to be spent in
providing lights or in keeping the library
open Of evenings or on Sundays, the only
times when working literary men who
could make profitable use Of tho books
have leisure for the purpose. This most
important library Of research is open only
from 10 q. m. to p. m. on only six days in
tho week and Is closed entirely during
several months in the summer" This Is
certainly very sad state of affairs and
should at once be remedied by the man
with literary tastes who now manages the
Astor millions.
