Thu COINAGE Or
THE SBIGNORACE.
1t Will Doubtless Be Delayed for
a Short Time.
MINIS TURNING OUT GOLD
The Treasury Notes Issued Under the
Sherman Law.
The MINIS at New Orleans and San Fran.
cisco Can Coin About Two Mil
lion Silver Dollars
a Month.

Washington, Nov. An reply to in
partment that the actual resumption
of the coinage of silver dollars has not
as yet been ordered, but the minis
have been directed to manufacture
ingots and blanks so as to be pre-
pared to resume coinage at short no
tice in case it should be decided to do
so.
"The minis at New Orleans and San
Francisco can, if worked to the full
capacity at those places, coin about
100000 silver dollars a month"; said
an official of the treasury department
today. There will not be any coinage
of silver dollars at the Philadelphia
mint for some time to come" he con-
tinued, 'tas all the efforts of the force
now there will be concentrated in turn
ing out gold coin. The seignorage on
silver will approximate $750.000 per
month. the department having paid for
the silver purchased under the Sher-
man act at an average rate of 921s
cents per ounce. In view of the ex-
pected coinage of silver dollars, the
question is already asked whether the
ury notes against the seignorage
which, if the whole amount of bullion
was coined. would amount to $50,O00,-
600. An official of the department to
whom the question was put, replied,
that such notes could not be issued
against the seignorage, and in sup
port of this assertion he quoted the
following clause from the Sherman
law: But no greater or lesser amount
Of such Greasury) notes shall be out
standing at any time than the cost of
silver bullion and standard silver dol
lars coined therefrom, then held in the
treasury purchased by said notes.
He said, however. the seignorage
could be deposited in the treasury and
silver certificates issued against them,
which would bring about the same re-
suit as the issuance of treasury notes
would be so far as increasing the cir
culating medium is concerned. But
they may be redeemable only in silver,
and not in gold and silver as the treas
ury notes are. It is said the treasury
notes issued under the Sherman act
which are redeemed in gold from time
to time amounted to $4,000, 0O0 Some
question has also arisen as to whether
any bullion might be coined into sub
sidiary silver, but the law on this sub
ject-is also explicit, as it requires the
secretary shall each month coin g.
600, 600 ounces of silver bullion pur-
chased under the provisions of the act
into standard silver dollars

DIDN'T PAY HIS TAILOR BILL.
Why the Consul to Annoy Was Recalled
to Washington.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-The Daily News
Washington says: It transpires that
it was an unpaid tailor bill which in
tervened to detain J. Hampton Hoge,
of Virginia, the new consul to Annoy,
at San Francisco on the eve of en-
barkation. 1t will also necessitate his
return to Washington and explanation
to the president and state depart
ment Just before Hoge left for San
Francisco he went to a fashionable
tailor here and ordered several suits
of clothes, but left without settling for
them. The matter was brought to the
attention of President Cleveland, who
is diplomatic enough to believe that
even an American consul ought to pay
promptly for his wearing apparel
While there are other charges pend
ing against Hoge at the state depart
ment these are not regarded serious
ly and it is senni-officially stated that
when Hoge has made peace with his
tailor he will be permitted to pursue
his Journey to Annoy

HARRIsON's SUCCESSOR.
A Dispute Causes a Row That Would Dis
grace Our City Council.


Chicago, Nov A disgracefu1 riot
occurred in the city council chamber
today when the aldermen met to elect
a successor to the late Mayor Harri-
son. The rivalry for the chairman
ship of the meeting was so intense
that there were a number of fist fights
in the chamber almost as soon as the
session opened.
Matters were finally quoted down,
Alderman McGillen, Democrat, with
the assistance of Alderman Swift, the
Republican caucus nominee for mayor,
being chosen chairman of the council
and a resolution was passed for hold
ing q. special election on the third Tues
day of this month for mayor. Pend
ing that election, however, it was
necessary to elect a mayor pro tenn,
and this precipitated another scene OF
disorder in which the police were
called in to preserve order. In the
meantime great crowds gathered out,
side the city hall and special details
of police were necessary to keep them
back. The council finally got down 10
business.
Swift was nominated for mayor pro
TEN by the Republicans and McGiIlen
by the Democrats. The chair ruled
no election. The Republicans protested
and left the chamber but the Demo-
Gratis, fearing a trick, remained in the
chamber. At the end of an hour the
Republicans returned and the session
was regularly adjourned.
Shortly after Chairman McGillen re-
fused to declare Swift elected, the Re-
publican aldermen withdrew to an
ante-room and proceeded to swear in
Swift as mayor. The matter will now
rest until the regular meeting of the
council Monday night.
1t now appears that when the Repub-
licans withdrew from the meeting they
assembled in the ante-room with thirty
eight members present. more than a
quorum. and voted solidly for Swift
for mayor. and that he afterward took
the oath of Office.

few minutes the men were successful
in keeping the yawl afoat. but large
wave struck the boat and filed her
completely. The yawl sunk. leaving
twenty-five struggling in the water.
Small boats were hurriedly manned
and sent out. Before the rescuers
could reach the spot where the men
were struggling in the water, ten
had gone down for the last time. One
body was recovered.
Charles Sevenwright. while strug-
Cling, became unconscious and was
washed up on the beach. He soon re
vived. The other twelve men were
picked up and landed at South Beach.
