SILVER'S HOPE,
How. Free Coinage Nav
Be Effected.
The Way Is Indirect but
Seems Certain.
Under a Forgotten Law Nearly
Fifty Years Old
Mexican Silver of Certain Denomi-
nations Is Legal Tender
the United States.
By the Associated Press.


WAsHINGToN, Feb. 13.-An old law
has been discovered upon the statute
books by the free silver men which
they declare gives them grounds to
hope that they can bring about the
coinage of silver in a b indirect way
through the use of Mexican dollars.
The law was passed in 1857 and is Sec
tion 2567 OF the revised statutes of the
United States. 1t is as follows:
Pieces commonly known as the one
fourth and one-eighth and one-slx-
teenth of the Spanish dollar and of the
Mexican dollar shall be receivable at
the treasury of the United States and
its several Offices and its several post
offices and land Offices at rates of yalua-
ton following: The quarter of a
dollar or piece of two reals, at 20 cents.
One-eighth of dollar or piece of one
real, at 10 cents, and one-sixteenth of a
dollar OF one-half real, at cents. The
section following provides that the
coins shall not be reissued through the
treasury. but shall be recoined into
United States coins.
The law has never been repealed and
the silver men in congress assert that it
is possible to send the metal to Mexico
for coinage, reimport it into the United
States and present it at the treasury.
They assert that the validity of the law
is beyond question.
Representative Hartman of Montana,
has introduced resolution intended to
bring the matter of the old Mexican
silver law to the attention of the house
and serve as an opening wedge in the
discussion of the question. If not re-
ported from the committee within six
days the resolution will be privileged
and can be called up at any time. 1t
calls on the secretary of the treasury to
inform the house what proportion of
the receipts since February l, 1895,
have been paid in the coins mentioned

The Council Favors Relief for Col.
Christy In the Seasongood g.
Meyer Transaction.

new counties occurred Yesterday. The
Navajo county bill was taken up in the
whole committee and Mr.. Barnes, its
author, in an argument of nearly an
hour, ably presented the claims of

ment. He said the opposition to the
bill was based upon natural selfshness.
He took the ground that by division the
affairs of both counties could be admin
istered more economically. He was re-
piled to by Mr.. Crosby who represented
the eastern part of the county opposed
to division.
In the council the joint resolution for
the relief of William Christy, ex- terri
torial treasurer, in the matter of the
Seasongood d Meyer transaction, was
favorably reported.
Mr.. Packard's bill to prohibit the en-
ployment of intoxicants and hypnolism
