The Santa Fe President Says His visit
Is Devoid OF Importance.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29.---Allen Man.
vel, president Of the Santa Fe, and J
D. Springer, third vice-president, ar
rived in this city today. Mr.. Marvel
explained that his visit to this coast is
entirely devoid Of any important pur.
pose. 60 far as the extension of the
Santa Fe is concerned. The late Henry
D. Minot was an intimate friend of Man
vel, but at the time of his death his work
at Bakersfield was not in any way asso
ciated with the Santa Fe. The president
of the latter road stated, however, thai
had Mr.. Minot completed the work in
which he was engaged, the Santa Fe
might have become much interested. Al
present there is no likelihood, Mr.. Man.
vel says, of the Santa Fe picking up the
threads which fell from Mr.. Minot'i
hands. A competing road would, in hii
opinion, be good thing for California
though he is doubtful whether it would
at present be good thing for the rail
road.

WINDOWS LAST SPEECH.

His Wo1l Known Fiscal Views Outlined
For the Last Time.
New YoRK, Jan. 20.-ln his remarks
tonight, Secretary Window confined
himself to transportation and money.
Under the first head he spoke strongly
of the decadence of our foreign carrying
trade, and said If we would regain our
lost prestige, we must make the con-
quest with the same weapons which
proved 30 successful in the hands OF our
rivals.
On the topic OF money, the secretary
said the ideal financial system would be
the one that should furnish just enough
absolutely sound currency to meet the
legitimate wants of trade, and have
enough elasticity of volume to adjust
itself to the varying necessities of the
people. Gould such medium be se-
cured, the grave commercial disasters
which threaten our future might be
averted. These disasters always come
when unsual activity in business causes
an abnormal demand for money, az in
the autumn for the movement of our
immense crops. There will always be
great danger at those times under any
cast iron system of currency, such as we
now have. Had it not been for the pe-
culiar condition which enabled the
United States treasury to disburse over
$75, 900, 900 in two and half months;
last fall, the stringencv would have re-
suited in widespread financial ruin.
In thu opinion of the secretary, our
bonded debt should be in part ex-
changed for interconvertible bonds,
bearing law rate of interest, and always
interchangeable for money at the will
of the people.
Believing there is not enough of either
gold or silver in the world to meet the
necessities of business, the secretary
said he was an earnest bi-metalist, and
conceded to no one stronger desire for
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver
as soon as the conditions can be reached
through an International agreements, or
otherwise, by which such coinage will
be safe. But it was his firm conviction
that for this country to enter upon that
experiment now, would result, not in
bi-metalisin, but in silver mono-metal-
ism; would produce o swift and ere
contraction, and eventually reduce the
market value OF silver.
4 In. conclusion the eeeyetasy sAid :
Give ~ dirocf end amf1e ttatsp0lta-
ton facilities under the AmericSh hAg,
and controlled bys American citizens,
q currency sound in quality and ade-
quate in quantity, an international bank
to facilitate exchanges, and system Of
reciprocity carefully adjusted within the
lines of protection, and not only will
our foreign commerce again invade
every sea. but every American industry
will be quickened and our whole people
feel the impulse of new and enduring
prosperity,
