THE ARMY BILL
Will Have Material Effect on Rank and
Fay of Ranking Generals.


WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The army APP
preparation bill as agreed on Friday will
have material effect on the rank and
pay of Generals Sehofeld and Miles, the
two ranking officers of the army, but il
will not effect General Howard. the third
of II major generals. The bill reduces
the major generals to two ana makes one
of them commander of the army with the
brevet rank of lieutenant general.
The practical effect of this will be re-
allied when General Howard reaches the
age of retirement few months hence. 1t
will leave Generals Schoiield and Miles as
the two major generals under the new
law, with the former ranking as brevet
lieutenant general. This will be termi-
mated, however. in September, 1925. when
General Schofield reaches the age of re-
tirement. At that time the new law. il
enacted, will be OF specific benefit to him
as he will be retired at three-fourths .,
the pay of a lieutenant general, or S7S75.
instead of three fourths of the pay of his
present rank, which wonld be $685..
After General Schofield's retirement,
General Miles becomes brevet lieutenant
general. and the president will then be
called upon to appoint another major gen
eral from the six brigadier generals. This
condition of the service will continue for
some years, as General Miles has consid-
era BILE service before him.

Another theory is that she experienced

New YORK.. March lS-A special meet
ing of the chamber Of commerce has been
called for Tuesday, for the purpose OF
asking President Cleveland to veto the
seigniorage bill.
Resolutions opposing the bill were
passed by the chamber while the meas.
IRE was under discussion in the house Of
representatives. but no special effort was
made to press them upon the attention Of
congress. Since the bill passed the senats
various members OF the chamber have
been in close communication with Wash
ington in regard to sits chances of be
coming law.
The banking element in the chamber il
specially concerned about the bill Bank

assurance that if the issue succeeded the

That assurance had much to do with
their subscriptions, which amounted tc
about 81 per cent of the total required

They do not hold Secretary Carlisle re-
sponsible for what congress has done, even
though they wonder why he assumed te

But in view of this assurance and oil
subsequent events they think an appeal
from them for executive interference with

OVER TWO YEARS
REQUIRED to Coin the Se'gnicrage II the
ELL Becomes n Law.

WASHINGTON, March 1s.-1t is said at
the mint bureau of the treasury depart
Ynent that should the Bland seigniorage
bill which has now passed both the house
and the senate, become a law, the coinage
of s55. 900, 900 Of silver bullion would have
to be done at the minis at Philadelphia
San Francisco and New Orleans, when
are in fact the only mints OF the govern.
ment now in operation. Exclusive OF
other necessary coinage. the Philadelphia
mint. it is thought, could turn out about
81 600 900 per month, the >San Francisco
mint about the same amount and the
New Orleans mint about sSO0,ooo per
month.
The San Francisco mint. however, mas
only about $4,000, 900 in silver bullion on
hand and the New Orleans mint only
about s.. 600. 900 So that after the sup
DIV now on hand at these minis has been
exhausted the remaining $50. 900. 600 would
have to be coined at the Phiiadelphla
mint alone. The whole time. therefore
which would be necessary to coin the
seigniorage would be approximately
about two years and two months.
