STATISTICS OF MONEY.
From Secretary Carlisle's New York
Chamber of Commerce speech.

From Secretary Carlisle's New York
Chamber of Commerce speech.
We have already on hand stock of
silver, coined and uncoined, sufficient to
meet all probable requirements Of the
country for many years to come. The
mints OF the United States have coined
419, 1886, $50 standard silver dollars, and
we now have l40, 699, 760 fine ounces Of
silver bullion, which, at ratio of 16 to
l. would make 1881 ,914 ,S41, or 1901 ,247,-
391 in the aggregate. Besides this, we
have 76,977 ,002 in subsidiary silver
coin, which IS legal tender to the amount
of $40, and is by law redeemable in full
legal tender money on presentation.
Our total stock of gold coin and gold
bullion is 1868, l67 .949.
The five countries constituting the
Latin monetary union, with combined
population of more than $1,000, 900, ex-
elusive of their colonial possessions,
have 1915 900 900 in gold, 1925 900, 900 OF
full legal tender silver, and $95 ,O0O, 900
of subsidiary silver coins and yet they
found it necessary several years ago to
discontinue the coinage OF legal tender
silver and enter into an arrangement by
which each country agreed to redeem in
gold all its own legal tender silver coins
when presented by any other member OF
the union. Thus gold has been made to
support limited quantity OF silver coin
at par in France, Belgium, Italy, Greece,
and Switzerland as it has been required
to do in the United States since 1878
and as it must continue to do hereafter,
here and elsewhere, unless great
change shall occur in the relative values
OF the two metals.

United States Treasurer Morgan has
submitted to Secretary Carlisle his an
nual report on the operations and condi-
tons OF the treasury. 1t shows that the
net ordinary revenues for the fiscal year
1898 were 1886, 8l9, 62S, an increase Of
$50 1881 ,S44 over the previous year. The
net ordinary expenditures were 1888 ,447,-
554, an increase of 1913. 454 1923. There
was decrease Of $7,772,7 in the sur
plus revenues, reducing them $2,34l ,674,
including public debts. The total re-
ceipts were 1892. 87l PA and the total ex-
penditures $773,007 1893. The public
funds amounted June 80, 1892, to 1885,
35l 1896, and June 80, 1883, to Sac, $685.
655. There we're left in the reserve or
general fund $l87 ,0l2, 740 in 1892 and
$168. 1857 ,39l in 1891. The actual avail
able working balance was $l65 ,945 1856
and 1856, 295 1896 on the two dates respect
lively, but by Septembe 80, 1893. this
balance was diminished to $l49, 250, 26S,
owing to the deficiency in the revenue.
Revised figures of the amount of
money in circulation, that is, outside the
treasury, Junce 80, place 1t at 81 $780,
SAC, 1929, or about $4,000 less than the year
before. During the four months ended
with October there has been an increase
of $125 900, 900, record altogether with
out parallel in the history of the country.
The redemption Of United States paper
currency has been unusually heavy,
amounting to 1877 900 900 in the fifteen
months ended with October. During the
past two fiscal years there has been re-
coined nearly fifth part of the whole
estimated stock OF subsidiary silver, an
improvement, the report says, that ID
expected to increase the popularity and
usefulness of this part OF the currency.

UNDER THE NEW LAW.
Regulations Governing tho Reputation
of Cinnamon.


Of Cinnamon.
The new regulations as to the registra-
ton of Chinese, under the extension OF
the Geary act, were issued from the treas
ury department Saturday. They provide
that all Chinese laborers in the United
States must register before a collector of
internal revenue before May ) next, or
else be subject to deportation. China
men who have registered under the origi-
nal Geary law will also be required to
again register under its extension now.
The new regulations follow the same
lines as the old treasury regulations for
Chinese registration, except that one
creditable witness instead of two must
certify to Chinaman's good character
when he presents his application to regis
ter, and this witness may be China
man or other person, instead of white
person only, as in the old regulations.
On making application the Chinaman
must present, at his own expense, two
photographs Of himself, one of which
will be attached to the certificate when
issued to him, and the other attached to
his duplicate certificate, which will be
fled in the collectors office. In addition
to the certificate having the photograph
attached to it, the certificate itself must
contain the Chinaman's name, his age,
late residence, occupation, height, color
of his eyes, complexion, physical marks
and peculiarities for Identification. Pro-
vision il made for Chinaman securing
duplicate certificate, but proof OF his
having lost the original must be made to
the satisfaction of the court, through
which, only, can he obtain a new GER
tificSte.

Secretary nj Agriculture's Recommsnc
tions to the President.

Secretary nj Agriculture's Recommends
tions to the President.
The secretary of agriculture in his re-
port just submitted to the president re-
grets the vague character of the organi-
zation of his department, which he says
offers "Opulent opportunities for the ex-
ercise Of the most pronounced paternal
ism," out adds there are proper ways in
which the federal government may serve
the cause Of agriculture. He kdevotes
considerable space to what he calls an
anomalous partnership between the fed
eral government and the governments of
the respective states for the conduct and
encouragement OF agricultural colleges
and experiment stations. Continuing,
he SAYS:
There is no supervision Of these insti-
tutions by any officer of the United
States, and suggest that the stations be
entirely divorced from the department
and the sum appropriated to them be
charged directly to them. or that the
secretary have sole power of the disburse-
ment OF the said sums. An lnvestiga-
ton should be made Of the rumors that
the sums have, in certain instances, been
diverted by the states from their orig
inal purposes"
In reference to the expenditures of the
department, the secretary says that he
has made strenuous endeavors to ration
ally reduce the expenditures by an elm
ination from the payroll of all persons
not needed for the efficient conduct OF
the department. The employees when
he took charge numbered 2497. There
are now on the pay-rolls only 1894. The
FIRST quarter Of the fiscal year he reduced
the expenditures, in comparison with the
corresponding quarter Of last year, over
500 900. His estimates for the next year
show u net saving. over the sppropria
tions OF the current year, of $369, 1856
THE FOREIGN MARKETS.
Referring to the possibility OF the vir
tual closing OF markets to American pro.
ducts in some paris of the Old World
the secretary says this must be due tC
the high tariff duties upon all products
that foreigners desire to sell in our mar
kets. He says:
1.-The question is presented once more
to the American mind, eau any countr,
shut out commodities and products o
other nations without shutting in iti
commodities and products in a value
equal to the things shut out. A refer
ence to the immense aggregate Of i'm
ports of agricultural products suggests
the inquiry, Ought not large proper
ton of these be produced upon our OWL
soil in proximity to our own markets
where the immense demand exists? IT.
reply is in the affirmative. Ou- nm
ers would be benefited by a la ) mum
Der of subsidiary crops an overproduC
ton Of certain staples avoided, the va
riety Of our agricultural supplies in fol
eign markets increased and the market
themselves multiplied"

rARMER TORTURED BY ROBBERS.
Hanged Twice and His Hands Burned to
Extort q Confession.

A dastardly outrage was committed
Sunday morning about l O'Clock on
Thomas Sutherlin, who resides on his
farm about three miles south of Oakland,
Wash, by two men who entered his
house for the purpose of robbery. AT
the time OF their entrance SutherlIn,
who lives alone, was asleep. They woke
him and demanded his money. He said
he had but $40 about the premises,
which they took, ard then demanded
more. Sutherlin insisted that it was all
the money he had. They then took
him to q locust tree and hung him by the
neck, trying to extort a confession that
he had more money. The limb broke,
and they took him to the barn and hung
him the second time, and left him and
returned to the house. Sutherlin man
aged to unite himself. They then took
him to the house and tied him to the
bed, put paper on his hands, lighted it
and burned his hands to blisters. When
the robbers succeeded in getting no more
money they left the house and Sutherlin
went to his brothers. house near by and
gave the alarm. The robbers wore white
handkerchiefs over their faces. One man
was tall, and the other WAS short and
heavy set. Sutherlin has no suspicion
who the men were. They had no light
when they woke him.

THE KANSAS SPLIT.

Among Themselves.

PopuIists of That state Are Warning
among Themselves.
Commenting on the prospective split
in the populist party in Kansas, in con-
sequence of the resolutions adopted at
Fridays meeting, Kansas City paper
says: Jerry Simpson is charged by the
faction that is loyal to Lewelling with
being the father of the movement against
the governor. w. A. Harris, Senator
PETER and some of the other members OF
congress were represented by friends. 1t
is the old story in Kansas of a statehouse
ring and a federal ring. The new party
according to those who were present, lie
to stand on the single issue-the free
coinage of silver. All the socialistic
theories which played 80 important a
part in the formation of the populist
party are to be thrown aside, and the
new party, which is to arise suddenly in
an unexpected place, is to be silver
party, nothing more and nothing less
The idea is to form party that will carry
the silver states from the first and unite
ALE the friends of silver, regardless Of
their views on any other subject"

From the Engineering RECORD.
While electricity is trenching 30 seri
ously upon the field of gas lighting, any
recent application of gas which leads to
an extension of it's use is of importance
to the gas producer. Some foreign com
panies seem to have done this quite sue
cessful in at least one direction. At the
recent meeting at Dundee of the North
British Association of Gas Managers, one
member, Mr.. j. Bsllantyne Of Rothesay,
stated that his company had gained at
least 40 per cent. in consumption in
about six years, due to cooking by gas
among its customers. The gas company
furnishes the cookers at a rental of TOPPER
cent. OF the list price per annum, which
charge includes putting them in, taking
them away and keeping them in repair.
About IL per cent. of the customers are
supplied. His and other companies have
not only found this ~ profitable part Of
their market, but it has the added ad
vantage of being nearly daylight con
sumption, thus tending to equalize the
demand on the plant.

Three large silver bars, too heavy for
one man to lift and valued at about
$500, the output Of the Monumental
mine at Granite, have been on exhibit
ton at the Hotel Warshauer for the past
"a hours and have attracted great in
terest, says the Baker City Democrat,
since silver bullion in these parts is q
rarity, gold being the prevailing metal
and 30 common that yellow bars attract
no special attention. This output was

manager Of the Monumental, and is only
