Voluntary Contributions.

Free Bathing Beach to Be Maintained by
Voluntary Contributions.
In order to maintain the free bathing beach,
for the support Of which the District Commits
sioners failed to ask Congress for an appro-
priation, Superintendent Stevens has pre-
pared plan based upon voluntary contribu-
tions, which has been approved by the Com
missioners
Su perintendent Stevens represented TO the
Commissioners that during the month of July
last year nearly 1000 persons availeJ them
selves of the privileges OF the beach, and that
he is daily in receipt of complaints that the
beach has not yet been opened. He was
willing. he declared, to try running the beach
on a charitable basis, ald asked that Officer
Cotter be detailed to assist him in the man
agement. He proposed that the beach be
opened as soon as practicable and be
free to all persons under 16 years who fur
nish their own suits, and that cents be
charged to each person over that age not fur
nishing a suit
Major Moore heartily indorsed Superin-
tendent stevens plan, and this secured the
immediate approval of the Commissioners.
Mr.. Stevens says it will take several hundred
dollars to put the beach in repair. and hopes
the people of Washington will De liberal in
their contributions. He intends to arrange
for series of aquatic sports similar to those

SILVER INSTEAD OF BONDS.
Its Use for Paving the Nicaragua Canal
Expenses Favored by the House
Subcommittee


Subcommittee.
The Nicaragua canal bill, which will be re-
ported to the House. has 30 far assumed
tangibility that only one point remains to be
settled. That is the question Of the kind Of
funds to be issued by the government, and 1t
was discussed at great length in yesterdays
meeting OF the subcommittee, a most import
ant proposition being taken up which in
wolves the coinage OF silver to defray in whole,
or In part, the expenses OF the work
The idea Of issuing silver met with great
favor from the committee. Roughly speak
ing, one-third of the expenditures on the
canal will be for labor Silver is the current
money medium OF Central America, and it
was argued that the workingmen could be
paid in that coin, and many other expenses
as well. One plan discussed was for an issue
OF S35 900 900 in silver coin, and the same
amount in bonds; second for $50, ,000, 900 OF
silver and S15. 1000 600 of bonds. while varia-
tions OF these combinations were suggested.
Difference OF opinion were evoked as to
whether the necessary silver, should it be de-
cided to use the white metal, should be
bought or the bullion in the Treasury utilized.
The latter plank met the greater approval Of
the two, and as it was tentatively put forward
embraces some features Of the seigniorage
bill.
lnere was decided sentiment against the
plan OF paving per cent. interest on an issue
OF bonds for the entire amount If it can be
avoided, although in the event Of failure to
agree upon any scheme for the use of silver,
the bond plan will be employed, since Repre-
sentative Bryans proposition to issue cur
rency has been abandoned. Secretary Car
isles opinion upon the feasibility OF using
silver will be called for by the committee.
1t was decided yesterday to give the Mari
time Company bonus OF 81 .000, 900 for the
concessions it has secured and an interest
not to exceed s4.5O0, 900 for its actual ex-
penditures, the amount the projectors claim
to have sunk. This is a decided reduction
from Senator Morgan's bill, in which the
canal eompany's interest was placed at about
S11 900 900 in all. The interests of the
Nicaraguan and Costa Rican governments
will be the same as fixed In the Morgan bill.
The proviso contained in one Of the bills
which have been introduced that only United
States labor should be employed on the work
was dropped from consideration. climatic con-
dition making it out of the question to use
other than Central American or negroes
Mallory. of Florida, chairman
of the subcommittee, is in favor Of the use of
silver. He thinks that the bill will be re-
ported within two weeks.
