Rome and London.

A correspondent of a contemporary
gives some interesting details, COM
pairing the value of land in the city of
London today with the value of land
in ancient Rome.
A business freehold property in the
city, offered for sale by auction, was
withdrawn at e176, 900, or at the ratio
of 945 per foot. 1t appears that the
house of Clodius cost what would be
e119,47 of our money. The Roman
palaces naturally fetched higher prices,
while smaller houses cost less. The
residence of Crassus sold for e2S, 900.
On the whole it would seem that real
property in Rome in the time of the
empire was almost as valuable as it is
in the metropolis now. In Rome, as in
most cities during the medieval ages,
the houses were not only places Of busi-
ness, but also and chiefly private resi-
dences. The house of Clodius, for ex
ample, besides its storerooms, where
the produce from his country estates
was kept for sale, contained the usual
apartments of private mansion. The
Maison Plantin at Antwerp is a fine
example of sixteenth century house,
where under the same roof were the
business Offices and private apartments
of the proprietor. AS in England and
the low countries, so in Rome, the value
of such houses as places of residence
affected the prices they fetched in the
market. Therefore the comparison
with the price realized for purely bust
ness premises is in some measure un-
trustworthy London Land and Water.

SILVER DOLLARS TO
AGAIN BIZ COINED.
MINIS at San Francisco and New
Orleans to be Opened.
WILL RUN TO THEIR
ORDINARY CAPACITY.
PROBABLY UP TO THE END OF THE
PRESENT YEAR.
Programme Reached on the Tariff
Disagreement-Line of Agreement
and Disagreement in the Confer
ence Summarized BY Schedules
Outlook Not Hopeless.

Philadelphia, July 18.-Mr. Preston,
the director of the mint. today by the
direction of the secretary of the treas
ury, issued orders to the mint authori-
ties at San Francisco and New Orleans
to begin at once the coinage of silver
dollars, and during the present month
to coin up to the ordinary capacities of
the minis.
The silver to be first coined will be
blanks and ingots, of which there is
sufficient to coin $1,000, 900 at these two
minis and at Philadelphia.
AS soon as this supply is exhausted,
work probably will begin on the silver
bars, of which there is a years supply
at San Francisco and New Orleans and
probably five years supply at Philadel-
phia.
So far as can be learned, it is not the
purpose of the government to extend
the coinage of seigniorage beyond a
few millions, but it is stated that after
coming what gold may be necessary,
and reaching the abraided fractional
silver, each of the three minis prob
ably will be worked at their normal ca
pacity on silver dollars, for the next
several months, at least, and presum-
ably up to the end of the present year.
Whether treasury notes will be retired
as fast as received, for silver, so far as
known, has not been determined.

Representative Baker Calls Atten-
ton to an Error.
Washington, July 1S.-The statement
by Representative Baker, of New
Hampshire, that ne had been errone-
ously reported by the tellers as present
and not voting, the truth being that he
was not present, moved Mr.. Reed to
say word for the system of quorum
counting in the Fffty-ffrst congress,
wherein he said out of hundreds of op-
pOrtunities but two mistakes had oc-
Cured, while out Of two opportunities
under the existing system one error had
occurred.
Speaker Crisp admitted the possibil-
ity of error under any system, but
pointed out that the superiority claimed
for the present rule was that it remov-
ed any suspicion of an intention at I'M
fairness.
Under the special order adopted on
Monday, the remainder of the day was
devoted to business reported from the
committee on military affairs.
Bills were passed to regulate enlist
ments in the army; to authorize the
boards of managers Of the Soldiers
home to transfer and maintain the in
mates of any branch in case of emer-
gencies; to place Major General John
L. Green on the retired list as a first
lieutenant, Eugene Wells as a second
lieutenant, Napoleon J. Dana, as as
sistant quartermaster. Dunbar K. Ran
some as captain. Charles B. Stivers as
captain and James William Albert as

OREGON SHORT LINE.
A Circular Issued to the Holders of
the First Mortgage 6 Per Cent
Bonds.

A Circular Issued to the Holders of
the First Mortgage Per Cent
Bonds.
New York. July 1S-The following
circular was issued today by the COM
mittee of which R. G. Martin is chair
man. to the holders of the first mort
gage 6 per cent. bonds of the Oregon
Short Line Railway company:
After the mortgage to secure your
bonds was expected, and before the
bonds were issued in order to make
them more marketable, the Union Pa
ciflc company, on the 18th of January,
1892 entered into an agreement in
writing from the Oregon Short Line
Railway company whereby, in consid-
Grafton of certain perpetual rights and
privileges granted to the Union Pacific
Railway company they agreed to such
a division of the joint earnings of said
roads as should be sufficient to pro-
vide for the payment of the interest
on the Oregon Short Line bonds as it
became due and that the Union Pa
cific Railway company place upon each
of said bonds it's guarantee for the
payment of the interest.
"The receivers of the Union Pacific
Railway company have recently filed
a petition in the federal court, asking
that they be relieved from all the OBJ
legations of the contract of January II.
1892 and of the guarantee made in
pursuance thereof.
This action should be resisted by
every bondholder. In the meantime, a
committee of reorganization, acting in
the interest of the Union Pacific gail
way, has appeared in the public prints,
asking for deposit of all bonds of
the Union Pacific system, including the
Oregon Short Line first mortgage
bonds, without disclosing the commit
tees plan of reorganization.
'The holders of the 5 per cent. con-
solidated bonds of the Oregon Short
Line & Utah Northern Railway COM
pany. with which the Oregon Short
Line Railway company was CONSOLE
dated. have also appointed a commit
tee. and are asking for the deposit of
said bonds with various repositories in
this country and Europe, for the pur-
pose. as they say on their published
notice. of acting in harmony with the
Union Pacific reorganization commit
tee.

Unique Idea Already BEING Carried
Ont.
Washington, July 1S.-Joseph Smith,
the commissioner of internal revenue,
has already begun making preparations,
for carrying into effect the internal
features of the pending tariff bill.
During the last few days he has been
gathering the portraits of all his pre-
decessors who are dead with a view of
engrav wing them on the new series of
revenue stamps. The records show
that Tench Coke. of Pennsylvania, VINO
served from 1892 to 1897, was the first
commissioner of internal revenue;
William Miller, also from Pennsylva
MIA. served from 1877 to 1903 as second
commissioner: the others now dead are
S. II. Smith. of the District of Column
bia Joseph G. Lewis, of Pennsylvania;
William Orion, of New York; Edward
z. Rollins. of New Hampshire, and
Daniel Pratt, of Indiana.
The portrait of each of these will be
engraved and printed on the new SER
les of stamps. So far during the pre-
sent movement among distillers to re-
move their goods from bond the COM
missioner has had no difficulty in sup
plying a sufficient number of gaugers
to meet every demand.

exciting finishes at Brighton Beach today.
The best was in the selling race at a

all over. In the stretch Griffin went to
the whip and Arab again showed a sur
prising burst of speed in the last fifty
yards, winning by neck. There was a
big upset in the fourth race, for Stonell
was an odds on favorite, and he could do
no better than second, while Lady Violet
won.

. Chicago, July 1S.-The great strike is
likely to have the effect of uniting the
railways. particularly those of the west
in a closer union than they have ever
had up to the present.
The General Managers association
handled the strike in manner SO
satisfactory TO all the roads concerned,
that they have begun to ask why the
same spirit of harmony which ena-
bled them to make such "a fight in
dealing with the strikers could not be
utilized to great advantage in traffic
matters.
There is the strongest kind Of feel
ing that all roads should be concen-
trated in an effort 10 maintain rates,
and as far as possible diminish eX-
penses.
The thing is largely in The embryo
as yet but several schemes have al
ready been proposed, the principal one
o. which is that all the roads west
OF the Missouri river shall be formed
il an association similar to the Vest
ern Passenger association, but at the
same time entirely independent of that
body, but working in harmony with
H.
This would mean that the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific would be
members of the association west Of
ne river. while the Atchison would be
a member of both associations.

There is little reason to doubt this.
Dubois secured an amendment to the

opinion can be had in the department
of Justice that the combination referr-
ed to in the bill is legal, but the only
reason, in my judgment, why the

in favor of the government on other
grounds. 1 was fully prepared for the

West Oakland, Cal, July 1s,-The
following dispatch from Sacramento
has been posted by the A. r. U. strike
committee:
Fillmore agreed to take back all
men without prejudice. The company
could not withdraw Pullmans without
mourning law suit. All trains an
nulled until further notice

The last part of this dispatch greatly
pleased the strikers here, who inter
Dreted it to mean unconditional sur
render on the part of the Southern
Pacific. They say that pending the
settlement of the question at issue be-
tween Pullman and the Southern Paci-
fic company no trains will be run out
of Sacramento.
The strikers are evidently a little
premature in their opinions.
According to railroad officials, the
trains were simply annulled today, be-
