INTERNATIONAL VALUES.
No One Nation Can Maintain the Relative
 Values of Two Metals.

Values of Two Metals.
 Question Gan the United States alone maintain bimetallism?
 Answer. No.
 Question Why not?
 Answer. Because no one nation in the world can fix and maintain interna- tional values, and certainly none can fix and indefinitely maintain the relative values of any two metals If we put ar- bitrary relative values en gold and siI yer, the one we valued below the price fixed by supply and demand in the worlds markets would seek other coun- tries, where it's values and purchasing power would be greater, while the one NC valued above the market price wonld remain with us and become the standard of value by which we conduct our busi- ness.
 Question. Are you in favor of the independent free coinage of silver by the United Statesf
 Answer. r.--No; for the reason thas that would infallshsy mean silver mon ometallism.
 i. Question. Why so?
 Answer. gold is worth go times as much as silver in the markets of the world today In other words. an ounce of gold is worth as mneh as 32 ounces of silver, and the United States cannot change that relative valuation and permanently maintain such change by simply passing q law that an ounce of gold shall be worth 16 ounces of sil- yer and no more. and as one can obtain in any of the markets of the world to- day more than 500 grains of standard silver for 25 8-f0 grains of standard gold our passing q free coinage law that any one from any part of the world who brings 4l2la grains of standard silver to our mint shall receive S1, which. by law, shall pass current the same as sl containing 20 8-I0 grains of standard gold, would instantly cause gold to be Withdrawn from circulation, and 4fa1a grains of silver would thus become the standard by which the worth of our dol lar would be measured - Merchant,

ADMITTED TO BAH.
Calvin Chase Free at Least for the
Present.

VIM. Calvin Chase, who was convicted
Wednesday of criminally libeling Mr..
c. H. ]. Taylor Of Kansas, at present the
District. recorder Of deeds, was yesterday
afternoon released on bail by Judge Cole,
pending the disposition Of the motion in
arrest Of judgment and for a new trial.
The release Of the convicted man was OPP
posed by District Attorney Birney on the
ground that it would be unusual and
against precedent. Messrs. Campbell Car
rington, E. M. Hewlett and John M.
Langston, on behalf of Chase, argued that
the case was simply one of misdemeanor,
and that the defendant had such interests
here that he could not flee from the judg-
ment of the court, even should he so de-
SIRE
In granting the motion Judge Cole re-
ferred to the fact that the defendant was
a resident of the District, and for that
reason stood in a different position from a
nonresident defendant. The offense of
which he had been convicted was, after
ALL mere misdemeanor, the punishment
being wholly in the discretion Of the court,
as was the matter of admitting the de-
PENDANT to bail, and, while not intending to
make the present case a precedent, Judge
Cole said that he had concluded to admit
the defendant to bail, to await the judg-
ment of the court. Mr.. Birney stated that
he would accept $1,000 bail, and Robert H.
Key qualifying in that amount, Chase was
released, to await the disposition of the
motion in arrest and for a new trial.

Several Fires.

There was disastrous fire in Brookland
about O'clock last evening, and nearly all
the residents of this Suburban village turn
ed out and assisted in the effective work of
saving household effects. The fire started
in the stable of Mounted Policeman McNa-
mara, and the horse in the burning struc-
ture was saved before the flames reached
the ground floor. Sparks from the stable
set fire to the three-story frame house
OWL ed by Mr.. ]. Sullivan of No. 739 East
Capitol street, and occupied by Mr.. j. ].
Hogan Of the sixth auditors office and Mr..
Scuthworth. While the houses were not
burned to the ground, they were so badly
damaged that they will probably have to
be torn down. Nearly all the household
effects of the two structures were saved
and removed to vacant houses nearby. SO
that the two families were not homeless.
The total loss is estimated at about $500
and is covered by insurance.
About the time of the Brookland fire
there was a slight fire in the house of
Philip Holmes, No. 1912 18th street, which
was eXtinguished before much damage was
done.
lighted match thrown in q waste basket
In room over Warwick's saloon, on 18th
street, caused about $40 damage. No. 2
engine company extinguished the flames.

Detectives Find Anna Sterzinger In
This City.

This City.
There was one happy child In this city
last evening. and her happiness was due
to the clever detective work of Detective
Maurice Quinlan. who found the fourteen
year-old girl only after several days AMI
nights Of good work. The girl is named
Anna Sterzinger, and her parents reside
at Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The girl was
taken in custody at the request Of Chief
of Police English of Calgary, who COM
municated with the police department
about two weeks ago. According to In
formation contained in letters from the
chief of police, and j. B. Eshelman, an in
surance agent, the girl came away from
ner nome with man known as DR.. Low
tnghart or Prof. A. Campbell, M. D. It ap-
pears from the letters that the child's IA
ther. who Is Door, has a large family, and
Prof. Campbell. thought to be wealthy
man. had promised to locate them on his
ranch and give them employment. Before
doing SO, however, he was going to make
a tour of the country and he kindly con
sented to take Anna with himself and his
wife. After his departure the family be-
came convinced that Anna would be bet
ter off at home than she would be with
Campbell, and they became alarmed at not
hearing from her. There was nothing
complimentary said about the doctor, and
when the letters had been read and In
spector Hollinberger turned them over to
Detective Quinlan the latter went to work
with his mind made up to find the girl, and
last evening his efforts were rewarded.
Pm so glad you are going to send me
home to mamma" was the way in which
the girl expressed her delight at being
taken from the apartments in a boarding
house on Pennsylvania avenue near the
Capitol.
The girl was turned over to the matron at
the first police station and her parents
were notified Of what had been accom-
plished.

Road 1r provement in Alexandria Co

Road Improvement I'm Alexandria Co.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Through the medium of your valuable
paper l would like to ask for information
in regard to the distribution of the road
tax In this, Arlington, district, Alexandria
county, Va. We find some of our roads al
most impossible, others in good condition.
There are three roads fronting the lands
of some of our largest taxpayers in this
district which have received but little
benefit from the taxes paid for many years.
The road leading from Ballston to Column
bia pike l do not think has had 800 worth
of work done on it in the last ten years.
The old toll road from Jefferson district
line to Fairfax county has had but little
WORK done on it outside of picking on
few stones for the last three or four years.
On this road bridges and culverts are in
much need of repair. The road running
from the old toll road to Fort Myer was
allowed 500 the past year, through the
generosity of our board of supervisors.
The two roads last mentioned are travelled
as much as any road in the county. The
roads in the northern part of this district
and in the vicinity of Rosslyn have been
graveled, oyster shelled and most WON
derfully improved, and. I understand, are
now freq from mud holes. Why this sec
ton of the district should receive the
benefit of all the funds is mystery I
would like solved. Our board Of super
visors levied a tax of fifty cents on the
500 as road tax. This amounts to nearly
$4,000 for the district. AS taxpayers, we
who live on these roads are compelled to
pay our portion of this tax. Why we should
not derive some benefit from it is an
other mystery. This year we were to have
a certain portion of the money derived
from liquor license to work the roads.
This was a reason given by some why we
should have license-we would have good
roads. Now we have the rum holes and
mud holes, and God pity the man who
should leave the rum hole in the condition
some do and fall in the mud hole. He
would never be able to eXtricate himself
