directors Of the chartered bank of India,
Australia and China held this afternoon,
the chairman announced that the govern
ment had given teir sanction to the COIN
age of a British dollar for circulation in
the Straits Settlements and Hong

said had affected the eastern trade ana
lessened the export Of the Mexican dol
lar TO such an extent as to threaten the
eastern colonies with a total absence of
currency In these circumstances the
banks, the local government and the
chambers Of commerce had asked In con-
cert and obtained the sanction of the
treasury for the coinage of British

TRIAL OF THE MAINE.
The Big Battle Ship Expected to Have
Speed of Eighteen Knots.

Ine Biz 6aCLle snip Expected to Have a
Speed of Eighteen Knots.
New York, Oct. 1.-THE official trial
of the United States battleship Maine
took place to-day on Long Island Sound
promises good results. as the ship passed
through it very creditably and every one
concerned has expressed himself as sat
isfed with the workings of the engines
and machinery.
n. +. Palmer, Jr., representing the con-
tractors, was very anxious to have the
trial take place out at sea in deep water
as the sound is too shallow, he said, for
a fair test, and to-day's run showed this
very plainly, as she banked the water on
each side of her instead of its going uu-
derneath. This was spoken OF by men
well versed in navigation, and Ii was
stated that had the trial been made in
twenty to thirty fathoms of water instead
of in eight or ten a much better horse
power would have resulted.
The general verdict is that she will be an
1S-knot boat.
Engineer-in-Chief G. W. Melville was
not very communicative after the trial
was concluded at $50 p. M, but he ac-
knowledged that the engines had worke
satisfactorily, and there was no doubt
that the horse power would reach IL not
exceed the requisite 9,000
