'FRISCO'S BAD FIX.
SOME OF THE RESULTS OF RE-
PUBLICAN MIsGOvERNMENT.
AImshouses, Hospitals and JaiIs
VIII Have No Resources After the
Both, and May Have to Close.

San Francisco. April 2s.-The city
officials have as yet been unable to solve
the problem of how to tide over the city's
financial distress until the beginning of
the next fiscal year, June l.
While the mayor. the supervisors and
the heads of departments were wrestling
with the subject yesterday, the supreme
court was engaged in writing a decision
reafhrming its former decisions to the
effect that the expenses of one year may
not be paid out of the revenue of an
other. In other words. the city cannot
mortgage it's future, although the ex-
pense of maintaining the fire department
and public institutions for the remaining
two months of the fiscal year will be
$125,600. to meet which. there is practi-
cally nothing in the treasury.
Taken together with the refusal of con-
tractors to furnish supplies to the hos
pitfalls, almshouse and county jails after
April so. this is the condition of affairs
that has caused the finance committee to
do a great deal of figuring to devise
means for carrying on the functions of
the government. AS the salary demands
of each month amount to S135, 600 it was
proposed that employees Of the city
should forego the drawing of their
salaries for April until May %. OF course,
this plan does not meet with the APP
prevail of The employees After much
talking the official gathering adjourned
without having accomplished anything.

with great exactness a long time in ad-
vance and this would be quite impossi-
bic in times of trouble, Just when the
ships are required to be well supplied
with coal so as to be able to make sud-
den movements. There is also reason
to believe that while no objection has
been made to this experiment, the ma
tons owing the ports where the coal is
transferred to our cruisers will not per-
nit the practice to continue without
the collection of heavy duties on coal.
and UP to this time no thoroughly SAT-
iSfactory method has been found by
which the coal can be tranS-Shipped on
the open sea. But aside from these
purely economical reasons for the es-
adjustment of coaling stations, a
stronger one is found. In time Of war,
under the neutrality laws. our ships
would be excluded from the privilege
of coaling in foreign ports. and would
thus be absolutely prevented from hos
tile operations if they did not fall easy
victims to an enemy better equipped
with bases of coal supply. 1t is said by
naval officers that the common belief
that these coaling stations would be
very expensive to acquire and would be
required to be strongly fortified to de-
fend them, also at. great expense, IS
without real foundation. Some of these
officers who have been. giving much
attention to the subject, are confident
he United States could readily arrange
for the acquisition of coal from the sta
tons from almost any of the countries
along the Gulf of Mexico or the Car
ribean sea at a nominal price. Nothing
in the way of equipment is necessary,
except a landing wharf. and the SER
vices of one man to watch the place
would suffice. In case of war. if the
station was near enough to the scene
of hostilities to be necessary. it could
be protected by the very ships that
would be required to use the coal. If
it was distant from the scene. and not
necessary to the service at the time, it
could be left to take its chances, for
the enemy would scarcely find it profit
able to send ships to capture a coal
pile. which could readily be replenished
at any convenient time. 1t is said Sec
rotary Herbert is giving this subject
much attention. and when Congress
meets again he may recommend to
that body that this government be
clothed with the necessary power to
acquire suitable sites for coaling sta
tons.

A NEW DOLLAR.
SCHEME ADVOCATED BY THE DE-
TROIT TRIBUNE.
IT Should BE Composed of Both Gold
and Silver and Be About the Size
of q Fifty Cent Piece.

Detroit. Mich, April 2S.-The Tribune
Rep.) will tomorrow publish an edito-
rial leader, which will declare in favor
of the solution of the present money
question of the creation of a. new dollar,
to be composed Of proportionate parts
of gold and silver. The article quotes
the declarations of the Republican ma
tional platform in 1883 and 1892; in IA
vor of bimetallism, and points out the
dangers of a practical monometallism
through the throwing open of the
minis to unlimited coinage. 1t calls
attention to the difficulties and delays
which would attend the negotiation of
an international compact, and ques-
tions the maintenance of a parity of
gold and silver by that means in any
event. 1t calls upon the party to full
fill its platform pledges by formulat-
ing without delay a practical scheme
for bimetallism, especially in view of
the threatened disintegration of par
ties, and the drawing of new party
lines, with gold recommendation on one
side and silver recommendation on the
other.
Continuing the Tribune advocates
the composite dollar as a measure, ca.
siest to effect and with the least dis
turbance to business of any plan sug.
gested. 1t proposes: THAT all existing
coinage laws be repealed, and that
there be enacted a law creating a new
American dollar, which would be the
whole standard coin of the nation, the
dollar to be composed of 206al grains
of standard silver, and Il 60 grains
of standard gold, used together and
struck into a handsome coin about the
size Of the present half dollar
The coin would be absolute stable
value, for in the case of disparity at any
time in the commercial values of gold
and silver, what was lost by the de-
probation of one metal, would be made
up by the exactly corresponding ap-
probation Of the other"
AS to the question whether the pro-
posed dollar would be available for ex-
port, the Tribune replies:
1T would not be necessary to ex-
port the coin while uncoined gold
could be procured which would be Just
as available. If, at any time, it be-
came necessary to separate the gold
from the silver. it could be done at
the United States mint at a cost of
less than 1 per cent This very cost
would be a protection against the ex-
portation of coin while uncoined bull
lion was unobtainable.

FROM BAR TO EAR.
A SUSPECTED MAN ATTEMPTS TO
KILL HIMSELF.
Innocent of the Crime With Which
He is Charged, He Prefers Death
to Disgrace-A Cory story.

Weston, Pa, April 2S.-Samuel c.
Carpenter, of this city, accused of the
murder of Mrs. Ray Blackwell, of
Philhpsburg, n. J., cut his throat in
the cell occupied by him, and IS now
lying ait the point of death.
Carpenter. who is about ~ years
of age, was formerly postmaster at
Asbury, but moved to Easton about
six months ago. He is a married man
and has several children, but common
rumor has for a year past connected
his name with that of Mrs. Blackwell,
the widow of a physician fornerlyt-re-
siding in Madison. n. J. Carpenter
visited her on Friday night, leaving
soon after supper a few hours later
the woman's body was found with a
bullethole in her right tednple and a
revolver by her side, evidently placed
there to create the impression that
the woman had committed suicide.
Suspicion ait once fed on Carpenter.
and his arrest followed.
When Warden Walton went to his
cell this morning, he found Carpenter
lying in pool of Brood on the floor
of his. cell, with his throat cut from
ear to ear. By his side was a razor.
which he had borrowed from Patrick
Morgan, a fellow prisoner, on the plea
he wanted Ito shave himself. Morgan,
who occupied the same cell, says as
soon as Carpenter obtained possession
Of the razor, he turned TO him and
said:
Il am innocent of the murder of
Mrs. Blackwell. and I want you to
tell everybody 1 said So"
Then he drew the razor across his
throat and fell. An examination of
his wound shows noire of the arteries
have been severed, but he has lost so
much blood his recovery is doubtful.

COALING STATIONS.
What Admiral Meade's Trip Has
Shown.

Washington. April 2S.-The recent ex-
perience of Admiral Meade, in his
cruise with a squadron through the
waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the
caribbean sea, has served 10 again at
tract the attention of the officials of the
navy department to the necessity Of ac-
curing at least one or two coaling sta
tons in these waters for the use of the
navy. Although the cruise lasted only
d few weeks. the difficulty of procuring
sufficient supply of coal at different
points. and at a reasonable price, has
Strikingly indicated the trouble that
may be expected when it shall be
necessary to maintain for long periods
Of time. or perhaps permanently a
number Of cruising gunboats in these
waters. Such a contingency is being
prepared for by the construction of a
number of boats calculated for just
such service.
The sources of coal supply In that
section are at present largely in British
possessions. The price is always high
in some ports. but it is very much
higher in others, being known to reach
SIS per ton at Colon. Now tina. the
navy has rid itself almost entirely Of
sail power and that the ships rely al
together on steam, the amount of
money expended in coal is assuming
formidable proportions and the naval
officials are using all of their ingenuity
to keep down this expense without in
Jury to the service. Perhaps for this
reason a number of officers who had
not regarded faxorably the proposition
to esta blish coaling stations outside of
the United States. are now becoming
convinced such a plan would be de-
cidedly in the interest of economy. In
the case of Admiral Meade's cruise, to
prevent the paying of extortionate
charges for coal. the navy adopted the
plan of contracting with an American
firm TO deliver coal alongside the yes
sells of the squadron at some o. the
ports. NTbis plan worked we'll within

DENIES THE STORIES.
Men of the Olympia Were Not Ill
Treated.


San Francisco, April 2S-There was an
accident on board the cruiser Olympia,
that may cost Ensign George Madison
his life. as it has already cost him his
right leg.
The cruiser was coming to anchor when
the chain became unsha ckled, and ran
out swiftly. 1t kinked and a blight of it
struck the ensign on the right leg, shat
tering and mangling it SO it hung by
only few shreds of muscles and flesh.
The surgeon on board ampUtated the
limb above. the knee. 1t is not known
whether the wounded man will recover
or Succumb to the shock. Ensign Malli-
son is from North Carolina, was appoint
ed to the naval academy in 1888, and is
oath rank.
Lieutenant Commander Z. W Sturdy,
executive officer OF the Olympia, was i'll
terViewed today regarding the stories set
afloat by the deSerterS from the vessel
as to ill-treatment. He emphatically
denied the statements of the men. He
said the trouble arose because the crew
insisted on more shore food than the
regulations allowed. He stated also that
there was but fifteen assertions from the
vessel in southern California points.
