>. Gillette, son OF the chairman of the

the protest of the commissioners. and
Eupples undertook TO wreak vengeance
yesterday on Mr.. Mcdaniel. Cuppies
says the trouble arose out Of his refusal to
appoint young Gillette deputy surveyor

been employed in McDaniel's district
when he, Cunples. bad nothing to do him

wAsHINGToNIANs AT THE CAPITAL
No Opposition to Postmaster Boyd-The
Port Orchard Dock.


WASHINGTON CRY, July 28.--fSpecial
Correspondence. - 1t was distinctly a
Washington crowd that Representatives
Doolittle and Wilson met the other night
as they were walking up Pennsylvania
avenue from the capitol. There was L. ].
Hill, of Whatcom, J. E Blackwell and
Byron Barlow, of Port Orchard, and J. NJ.
Dougan. of Tacoma. and they were talking
about the merits of Puget sound as a sum-
mer resort. in contrast TO the extreme tor
ridIty which has characterized Washing
ton City the present summer 1t only
needed the presence of Alphonso o. Ed
wards, of Spokane. who Is now here, to
make the delegation complete.
Mr.. Hill was happy because he had just
learned of the confirmation by the senate
OF the nomination of George w. Boyd to
be postmaster at Whatcom. u result of
which be was not altogether sanguine
when he came here But Senator Squire
makes il point not to interfere in Demo
cratic quarreis and offered no objection.
Mr.. Hill vas also saying good-by TO his
friends for week or two, which he will
spend in the mountains of North Carolina.
Messrs. Barlow and Blackwell are the
contractors for the Port Orchard dry dock,
and some changes in the plans and spsci-
Gcations being found necessary by the Sec
re.ary of the navy when he visited Puget
sound, trip on their part to Washington
City became necessary. The work on the
dry dock has been progressing much
faster than was anticipated, and the secre-
tary found after an inspection that the
unexpended balance of the old appropria-
ton would not be sufficient 10 keep the
work going until the next congress could
appropriate another sum. When the
estimates for the present year were made
out Secretary Herbert omitted TO make
any estimate for Port Orchard. Realizing
his error he communicated with Senator
Squire and, with the latter's cooperation.
an amendment has been made to the sun
dry civil bill asking that $ll6, coo more
may be made Immediately available. Sem
ator Squire Is confident this amendment
will be retained in the bIli in conference.
as il is fortified by these requests, trans
mitted TO him by the secretary OF the
navy.
This 10 addressed 70 the secretary:
Il have the honor TO request that the
sum OF Sli6,eoo may be appropriated to
be Immediately available Tor continuing
OF the dry dock and adjacent works al
Paset sound. Wash. this sum being con-
sideTed necessary Ia meet the payments

but it seems that individuals might do so
mp till about the time of the late Civil
War. OF course it has always been
against the law to counterfeit or initiate
the coinage Of the United States. and so,
necessarily, a coin issued by a private
mint would have to be so distinctive in
shape or markings as to show that it was
not intended to pass as Federal money.
For this reason the 500 gold coins or to-
kens issued by several private mints in
California during the flush times. Of the
'50s were octagOnal in shape.
Gold coins were also i%ued by the Nor
mons of Utah at about the same time,
and the Same thing had been done by
parties in Georgia and North Carolina.
Probably the latest of these private
minis was the one established in Denver
in the early '60s. 1t is said that the coin
age of this establishment being brought
to the attention of Secretary Chase, that
eminent tinancier was much astonished
to find a respectable firm OF bankers en-
gagged in making and uttering money,
and was still further surprised when the
Attorney General Of the United States
declared they had the right to do so.
This incident caused the passage of a
law absolutely prohibiting individuals
from issuing or circulating anything in
