THE American decimal none
tary system is rapidly gain
ing favor all over the world, and
promises within few years to be-
come the established system for
international exchange. The Lon
don Statist says that anyone in
terested in the adoption of de-
cimal system of coinage, weights
and measures should secure from
the Decimal Association a pam
phlet which has just been issued.
One day, perhaps, the greatest
trading country of the world may
muster up sufficient resolution to
adopt the decimal system which IS
in vogue in most other countries.
1t is interesting 10 note that the
decimal system, as applied to coin

THE OLD AUXILIARY GUARD.
Some Singular Objections Raised to Maxim,
Appropriations for 1t.

Some Singular Objections Raised to Making
Appropriations for 1t.
During the recent celebration Of the ami
versary of the police force many references
were made to the immediate predecessor OF the
present force. the auxiliary guard. az it was
called. This guard was established during
Tylcr's administration and the formation was
brought about III a rather curious manner
Tylor, by Lis actions on political matters, had
lost nearly all Of the popularity which had
marked his early career. and especially in this
city was he derided by the people. As result
OF this feeling and while political excitement
was at its height party of citizens one night
proceeded to the White House and there gave
energetic groans expressive Of their feelings
a hw was enacted by Congress establishing the
auxiliary guard" consisting OF captain ana
fifteen other persons. For uniforms and other
implements -, 1000 was appropriated
Jt is OF interest that this measure was bitterly
opposed in both the House and Senate and ON
rather curious grounds ut that. Senator Crit
tenden was especially herce in his opposition.
These sixteen men. he said, would form moth
ing more nor less than y prptorian band.
Rome admonished us how such small numbers
increased to multitudes. 1t would not be long
before the President would be surrounded by u
body guard of uniformed men and 1t was the
dlty OF the lovers OF liberty to destroy this at
tempt to introduce a new element OF danger at
the national capital

The Isle vaches, Which Hayti Would
Like Us to Accept Rs o Coaling Station.


Like Us to Accept n Coaling Station.
| Authentic advices have been received by a
former resident Of Hayti, now residing in New
York. says the New York Sun. that an envoy
from Hippolyte to this government is now on
his way to the United States. He is expected
| to arrive on the Atlas line steamship due on
September 10. The name Of the envoy is not
yet declared. but he is probably Mr.. Ellie or
Mr.. Auguste, as they are said tc have been in
this country on a former mission. The reason
for this mission is that the present Haytian gov
crnment realizes that when Mr. Durham. our
newly appointed minister resident, shall de-
mand concessions for coalng station BY
virtue of the treaty of 1865 it will have to sub
NIT to these demands or take the risk of making
refusal. The coming commissioner will
attempt to turn the attention OF Mr. Blaine
from the Mole st. Nicholas toward the Isle
Vaches as u desirable place for the coaling
station. And during the negotiations the
Haytians will take measures to fOrtify the Mole
on their own account.
The Isle a Vaches is an island situated about
nine miles south of the city Of Les Cages,
which IL the capital of the southern depart
ment Of tue republic. 1t is about three fourths
OF n mile in length and has a superficial area
OF 4.0o0 acres. At present this island is the
property of Mr.. Ciirard I.abastille, who has ex-
tensive banana plantations there to whom the
government has offered indemnity of $50
600 for surrendering his property. Inasmuch
as the banana growing lands produce u net
yearly gain of 800 an acre, and as therefore
the Isle Vaches would be worth $500 900, this
offer shows a certain weakness somewhere.
The weakness is that the island is only APP
proachablc during five months of the year.
From May to November, while the southern
winds are blowing, it is not to be approached
safely by vessels. The island is surrounded by
steep rocks, reefs and sunkcn rocks, on which
many ships have been driven.
During the French occupation the Isle a
Iaches was the retreat of pirates. who were
driven to take their choice between the gallows
or flight to this island. Their light craft could
often safely carry them over the runken rocks
to safety from pursuers, whose heavy ships
could not approach this coast. Not long ago
French cruiser. the Bouvet CT the north
Atlantic squadron driven by wind and tide,
was wrecked on the rocks OF the Isle n Vachos
IN spite of the efforts OF her powerful ma
chlnery to carry her out to sea.
This is the spot which. Hippolyte is about to
offer our government. Besides the natural dis
advantages of the island, it does not possess the
strategic importance of the Mole st. Nicholas,
which is situated directly opposite to Cuba,
and has rightly been called the Gibraltar OF
the West Indies.

TWO THOUSAND PERISH.
Terrible Floods Devastating the Province of
Toledo In spain.

IerriDie ElOous Devastating the province Oh
Toledo In Spain.
Official information has been received from
the scene Of the terrible floods now devastating
the province of Toledo. According to the news
received 1000 people have already persisted
and an immense amount Of damage has been
done by the swollen waters. At present it is
utterly impossible to send assistance to the
survivors, as all road and railway communi-
cation with the scene Of the disaster has been
cut off.
Later official kilograms report that fifteen
hundred persons persisted in the destruction of
Consuegra by the overflow of the AmarguilIo.
Hundreds of others were injured by falling
buildings, and enormous numbers of cattle
persisted. At other places many persons were
drowned and much property was damaged.
The province of Toledo is located about in
the middle of the Spanish kingdom, with an
area of $3.50 square miles. The surface is
generally mountainous. Toward the center.
indeed there are extensive plains or table
lands. but the whole of the south and east is
occupied by the Monies de Toledo. These
mountains are of no great height and they
were once densely covered with forests, which
of late years have been almost entirely cut
doSII, though there are still groves OF consid-
cradle extent on their lower slopes. The Tagus
river flows across the province. and the Giguelu
and its attiuents, flowing into the Guadiana,
water the eastern part OF the province. The
soil =, poor for the most part. but in the center
and toward the south the quality improves.
The country is rich in minerals, though the
mines are as yet very little developed. Gold,
silver, lead, iron, tin, copper, alum, coal and
cinnabar are found. bees and silk worms
are reared by the country people in consider
able number. Manufactures once fourished
but OF late have been in IA very low state. The
province is travcrsed by three lines of railway.
some OF the most brilliant fighting of the
peninsular war in 1909 took place in the prov
lnce Of Toledo.
The only town Of any size in the province is
the capital, Toledo, situated on the Tagus,
fOrty-two miles from Madrid 1t STANDS on q
circle OF seven hills, around which the river
In horseshoe shape, flows in q deep and mar
row channel. The streets are steep, crooked
and narrow. and the houses are OF quaint
Moorish architecture. The place is still par
| TALLY incloscd by walls in q fair state of pres
eryation. and the gates are numerous and pic
turesque. Tradition has it that Toledo was
| founded by Jewish colonists six centuries be-
| fore Christ. 1t was taken by the Romans in
| 1872 B. c., and by the Cloths ACT A. D.. who made
it the capital OF their kingdom. II at one time
had population Of 100000 The celebrated
