Trade Dollar Bullion Converted Into Standard
Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The conversion
of the trade dollar bullion into standard
silver dollars was completed to-day. The
coinage of standard silver dollars is there
fore lessened unless change is made in
tae policy of the treasury department
through Congressional enactment or other
wise.
The director of the mint said this after
noon, while he was not authorized to speak
of the future silver policy of the depart
ment, he thought there was scarcely any
doubt that the coinage of standard silver
dollars would be continued at the San
Francisco and Carson City minis in
amounts sufficient TO meet the necessities
of the service. He estimated this at $780,
600 month for each mint

McCarthyites and ParnelIites Rayipg.

DUBLIN, Dec. 22.-Several prominent
members are in Waterford working ener-
getically for the election of their candidate
tomorrow. Feeling runs high and it will
be fortunate if somebody is not hurt be-
fore the polls close. Dalton, the Parnell-
lite, to-day met David Sheehey, who is
working for Michael .Daviut, and violently
abused him. Sheehey retaliated, where
upon crowd OF Parnellites set on him and
the police had to conduct him to place of
safety. Messrs. Flynn and Condor were
later in the day set upon by mob Of Par
nellites and had hard time to get away,
the mob pursuing them to the very doors
of the McCarthyite committee.

Henry borrowed $3.50 from-a carpenter
named William Young. This morning
McHenry was missing, and also all the
money the firm controlled, and Young
is out nearly all his $3.50.
Fredley cannot account for McHenry's
actions. He describes him as young man
about "a years of age, an old employee of
the house. He is a single man and not
given to his cups, gambling or women. 1t
is thought he took away with him about
500, and that he left on the Salt Lake mid
night express.

days longer to get the money to US finally.
This practically gives them three or four
months time, and the result is that we can
only turn our money over about three times
year, so that firm must have capital
of $4,000 in order to do $3.50, GOO bust
ness in a year, which is all wrong. Now,
IN the eastern cities they make their col
lections every Monday morning, and the
merchants can turn their money over many
more times in a year than we can. Conse-
quently they can sell on a smaller margin
than we, and have big advantage over us
There is no reason why we should con-
tinue in the old ways, which may have
been all right once, but are decidedly be-
hind the times now. Further than this,
think the wholesale men should organize
for their own protection, decide upon a
policy and stick to it closely. Should there

The whole company is being drilled in
the new drill regulations, besides the
schools and Rotations in the same, and
but little objections have been found
against them thus FAR.
PERMANENT ASSIGNMENTS.
Orders have been received from the war
department. assigning quarters perma-
nently to the commanding officer, field and
staff officers. and company officers, of the
different posts in the army, thus doing
away with the necessity of turning out
junior officers every time senior arrives
at post. Surely the army is becoming
civilized.

has done more TO put the army in this
country in progressive position during
his short term than has been done in the
past thirty years before, and the fruits of
his excellent changes and notifications
can be seen on every hand.

chased from the city was not used.

The Billiard Tournament.

The billiard tournament at the Morgan is
drawing to close. Last evening Cutler
defeated Engler by score of 10 to 10. At
the first intermission Cutler had % points
and Engler IL. At the second the former
had 30 and the latter 10. Cutters average
was the highest made during the tourna-
ment, and he played a strong. even
game throughout. So might Cutler and
Morris play, ana should the former win, he
will take first money. Gauthier seemed
to enjoy that. Should Morris win, there
will be ties for the first and third money.
