WINDOWS VIEWS.
The Silver Question Discussed by the Senate
Committee,

4Ae pliNer question discussed Dy the senate
Committee
WASHINGTON, April 1S-The Senate Re-
publican Silver Committee held meeting
this morning, at which Secretary Window
said that the reason for his advocating the
redemption in bullion of certificates issued
for the purchaee Of silver was that it would
make the certificates moro valuable.
To require their redemption in the silver
dollars would be, in his opinion, to discredit
them, while to require their redemption In
gold coin might seriously embarrass the
Government. He was willing. however as
measure of compromise, to give the holder
OF certificates the option of the currency in
which it should be redeemed.
After the Secretary had given his views
upon the bill and the basis of them dis
cussion took place upon the subject of the
sufficiency of the circulation. Secretary
Window had stated to the committee that
The total circulation, s., ,426, ,00G, 900, was an
average OF S21 20 per capita on the basis of
g., 100000 population. Actually, however,
this sum is subject to elimination by
amounts tied up in various ways, such as
reserves held for redemption of notes, etc,
so that per capita the amount of circulation
was considerably less. The Secretary agreed
with the Senators, as he had with the Rep
resentatives, that an addition TO the crcula-
tion was necessary, but in the conference
to-day no definite sum was named.

GREAT INTEREST MANIFESTED.
Unusual Proceedings in the Case Of Com
mander MtCalla


mandsr McCala.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The interest
with which the forthcoming trial of CON-
mander McCalla is regarded by naval
officials here is shown by the detail of Lieu
tenant Slayton of the Marine Corps as As
sistant Judge Advocate of the court. Lieu
tenant Slayton is generally regarded as pos
sessing one of the brightest legal minds in
the service. and his duties in the office of
the Judge Advocate General of the navy,
in which he has been stationed for some
years, have fitted him for the careful con-
duct OF case such as that to be tried in
New York next Tuesday. 1t is not an un-
precedented thing for an Assistant Judge
Advocate to be ordered into court, but it is
commonly only done when the department
feels that the case is an unusually i'm
portant one. 1t is generally thought at the
department that the trial will result in
some such punishment for Captain McCalla
as suspension for a certain period, such as
year. An acquittal of the charges is re-
garded as next to impossible, in view of the
fact that they were made on the basis of
the findings of court of inquiry, process
that generally means rough sailing for an
accused officer.
