within a short period. It is OF no great
practical consequence whether the sill
yer stored in The Treasury vaults con-
sists of bullion or of coin. The new
legal tender paper money, rapidly issued
In large amounts under the new law, is
silver currency. 1t is redeemable in
silver dollars, and though the Treasury
Department may in its discretion re-
deem these notes in gold coin,
the law has no power to secure
gold for this purpose, and one
of its necessary effects will be a
gradual reduction Of the gold coin re-
ceived in payment of taxes ~ the gov
eminent. For the purpose of redeeming
the Treasury notes, the Treasury will
have nothing but silver.
1t is said that Secretary FOSTER has
considered the ACCESSIBILITY of continuing
the coinage of silver dollars. Under the
law he is only required and authorized
to coin "aS much as may be necessary
for the redemption of the Treasury
notes" BY doing more the Secretary
would strain his legal powers and adopt
financially reckless course.

A LITTLE CHINESE BABY.
Daughter Born i'm the Family of the
Minister From China.

A Daughter Born in the Family of the
Minister From China.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-The birth OF
girl baby in the family of the Chinese
Minister has been the subject of gener-
al rejoicing at the legation for ten days
The tiny maiden is kept in the stricteSt
SecluSion for the first month of her ex-
iStence, in accordance with the laws Of
the Celestial Kingdom, which also re-
quire the secluSion OF the mother for
the same time.
When the child was three days old,
which was on Saturday last, she was
decked out in the finest OF garments
and carried in state to the large parlor,
where the members of the legation
were invited TO pay their respects. Ga
that day large number Of friends who
had been given notice also called at the
legation and brought presents. The
Minister'S wife, though forbidden by
the custom Of her country from seeing
anyone, was on that day served with
rice and various dainties to tempt her
appetite. In the afternoon the baby
was given back into her charge, and
will not be allowed TO be seen, even by
members of the household, until she is
a month old.
The Minister has already selected a
name for his daughter, but until the
expiration Of month this will be kept
profound secret. This is the second
child born to the family of Chinese no.
bility in this country, and, like its pre-
decessor, first saw the light Of day in
the legation on Dupont Circle. The first
child was named Mea, which, translated,
is alleged to signify Beautiful American.
She was the daughter of the present
Minister'S aged predecessor.

Before the kentucky Chautauqu3'
LEXINGTON, KY, July 5.-Senator
John w. Daniel, of Virginia, was intro
duced at the Chautauqua Assembly by
Hon. w. C. P. Breckenridge last eve
ming.
The Senator had very select
audience OF at least four thousand
people. His subject covered the his
tory OF the world. He started with Christ
and ended with the close of a most
cruel war. He eulogized Washington,
Jefferson and Lee. He disposed of the
race problem as follows: "John Smith
stood on the shores OF the Atlantic, and
looking over three thousand miles OF
water on one side and three thousand
miles Of land, covered with Indians and
tomahawks, on the other, said: This
race problem is a troublesome oner His
tory tells the story and the future will
settle the present race problem"
The speaker eulogized General John
c. Breckenridge, aud stated that the
boys in Lynchburg, Va, played mar
bles with bullets fred at him in his
fight at Cold Harbor. He returned to
the time when the Fourth of July was
below par in Old Virginia, but now the
grand old State, which boosted of Wash
ington, jefferson, Madison and Lee,
now celebrated the glorious Fourth
under the grandest flag that was ever
unfurled to the breeze.
The Senator's speech was eloquent
and patriotic, and he held his audience
spellbound for over two hours.

THE WAY To MAKE A NEWSPAPER.

The REGISTER displayed its enter
prise in an unmistakable way yesser-
day. A terrible railroad accident oc-
Cured near Charleston on Saturday
morning. An inkling Of the calamity
reached this Office through private
sources early in the afternoon, and word
was at once telegraphed to the REGIS
TER's correspondent at Charleston to
wire full particulars. How thoroughly
that order was executed the columns Of
Yesterdays REGISTER fully testified.
The special covered infinitely every
phase Of the heartrending accident,
even to the recording Of the names of
those who received a scratch. 1t re
ouired 2,4O3 words to flash the complete
story over the wires. Less would not
have been enough. More would have
been unnecessary.
That is the way to make live news
paper.

Georgia stands first, with 155 miles;
Pennsylvania second, with 1894, and
Alabama third, with 157. West Virginia
stands fifth with III miles, and the close
of the present year will find these figures
for them ountain State greatly increased
and West Virginia still nearer the head
Of the development procession.
About half the total mileage con-
Structed was in the Southern States
east of the Mississippi. The North
eastern and Pacific States show about
20 and Is per cent the total respectively.
1t was fair mileage though it did
not come up to the average of recent

ST. PAUL. MINI, July 5.-Herman
Harms, the Minnesota sleeper is proba-
bly, awake. He had sleept incessently
for the past sixteen years. A few days
ago he awoke and has taken only an or
binary amount of sleep since. His re-
covery, however, is doubtful. Some
sixteen years ago. he was attacked by a
severe fever and had intense pains
shooting through his head, since which
he has never been awake, except for a
brief interval since 1881 and two months
of 1889 and 1890. He can only be
awakened by HIS wife touching him on
the head. Calling has no effect on him.
He takes no nourishment at all to
speak of and then only when he is
aroused from his comatose condition.
His faithful wife has zealously guarded
him through al these years.

Perct. built

In 1887 more that thirteen thousand
miles were built. That, however, was
an exceptional boom year and should
not be used in comparison. The total
for this year will probably be between
4,5OO and 5000 miles. This is consider
ably less than usual, fact caused by
lack of confidence in the present general
situation, which seems likely to con-
tinue for some time. Good crops, how
ever, may help out considerably. Many
roads and extensions have been left in
complete, the companies not caring to
venture further.
This situation, however, affects West
Virginia railroad building but very
slightly. Here we have vast natural
wealth that is good as gold at all times
and in all seasons and that is what the
railroad builders in this State are after

IF OUR latest dispatches are correct
the mysterious lake that has suddenly
formed, from some underground source,
in the Colorado desert does not owe its
existence to an overflow Of the Colorado
river. That stream is falling while the
lake is still rising and the waters Of the
latter are salt and hot. 1t is nearing
the Gulf Of California, from which it is
now thought its waters come. II so,
being several hundred feet below the
level of the Gulf, it is destined to spread
over a still greater extent Of territory
till it reaches the level Of its feeder,
and be a permanent thing in the geogra-
ply Of that section.
