SCHEME OF SIR KNIGHTS
A College for Both sexes.
Fifty Million Dollars as Per
manent Endowment.
Ten Thousand Children of Masons to BE
Educated.

Boston, Aug. 29.-1n their pur-
suit for methods of putting into
practical effect the principles of
their order fraternity, fidelity
charity some Improvement mem.
bers of the Knights Telnplar are
developing a project which, if real
lied according to the ideas OF the
originators, will prove to be one of
the grandest and most commenda-
bic outgrowths of the closing years
of this century. They are plan.
ming the establishment of a great
national university for both sexes,
to be controlled by and in the in
terest of all Masons with perma-
nent endowment of not less than
$50, 100000, by which the children
of all Master Masons, whatever
their means, can secure complete
education from the age of ten years
and upward along any line of in
struction which they desire. The
scheme contemplates the erection
of a sufficient number of tireproof
university buildings to accommo-
date 10000 students, especially
designed for that purpose and
equipped with every facility and
appliances known to be necessary
and desirable for the pleasure ex-
ercise or education scheme. The
location agreed upon for the insti-
tuition is beautiful elevated tract
of land in the Ohio Valley, near
the West Virginia line, facing the
river for three miles. The projec-
tors anticipate no difficulty in Sc
curing the necessary endowment,
in fact they assert that the idea
has met with such reception with
the knights that have been con
suited that four times the amount
necessary could be secured.

Development in the South.

A few years ago there was hard
ly mill in the South. Today
there are 800, representing an in
vested capital Of 100000, 600,
and the number is on the steady
increase. Even conservative north
eru manufacturers have had their
eyes opened to the advantage of
manufacturing in the South, and
several of the largest New Eng.
land companies have moved to es-
tablish mills there. 1t is not too
much to say that the South is des-
tined to become the seat Of the
cotton manufacturing industry.
The fact is that the Southern
States have untold wealth in their
natural resources-coal, ores,
woods. soil, climate, etc. Their
resources have but to be known
and appreciated to be developed,
and have but to be developed to
open an era of industrial activity
and commercial prosperity far
ecipsing what has already been
attained.

SMALL CHANGE.
The Treasury Preparing to Fur.
nish the Nee dful to Move
the Crop.

Washington, Sept. 2.-The fur
nishing of small notes OF silver
dollars to meet the demands for
money to move the crops Is likely
to absorb the energies of the treas
ury during the next few weeks.
The demand is not so active this
wear as it has sometimes been, and
it is not expected to be. Their
surplus reserves are larger and the
treasury itself has been making
its recent shipments of money in
notes of $50 and SO. There is a
large supply of both these denom-
nations in the currency reserve
vault Of the treasury. The supply
OF notes for ST and 81 is not so
large, but can be increased if nee
essary. There is little discrimina-
ton in the demands upon the treas
ury as to the character of the paper
currency sent out, so long as it is
in new bills for small denomlna-
tions. The usual policy of the de-
partment is to unload silver GER
tifcates as far as possible, to tol.
low these by Sherman treasury
notes, to hold the old le-
gal tender notes until the last.
The diffusion of small Sherman
notes in different parts OF the coun'
try prevents their presentation al
the sub-treasury for redemption in
GOLD, and the boarding of the legal
tenders cuts off in measure the
excess of currency redeena5le in
gold at New York.

History of the Adoption of the
Financial Plank.
pyDEMOCRATS AT CHICAGO
patterson Tells of his Efforts to
Insert the Word "Free."
Bayard, Villas and Other Cleve-
land Leaders Thought 1t
Would Lose Demo-
cratic votes in
the East.

The Rocky Mountain News, OF
Denver, COL, published an edito-
rial in which Thomas W. Patterson
eiyes full account of the action
Of the subcommittee on resolutions
at the last Democratic National
Convention, which the Clarion
Ledger prints below as part of the
current history Of the country.
The subcommittee consisted of
Mr.. Bayard, Senator'S Mcpherson,
Villas and Daniels, John Atkins, of
Tennessee, l.. F. Gerard, of Geor.
gia. Mr.. Jones, OF Missouri, and
Mr.. Patterson, of Colorado. Mr..
Patterson says:
"When the plank was first read
and analysed, suggested that it
was uncertain and gave room to
cayil about its meaning. To re-
move this uncertainty | suggested
that the word free be inserted be-
fore the words coinage of gold and
silver etc. distinctly stated that
| would be content to omit the ra-
tio for such coinage, leaving that
for Congress; what | did want was
the Democratic party clearly and
unequivocally committed to true
bimetallism. Senators Villas and
Mcpherson opposed this, and SO
did Mr.. Bayard. Eech gave his
reason. 1t was not that they were
opposed to free coinage. On the
contrary, they favored it, but the
word free as applied to coinage
was SO liable to be misunderstood
in the East and Northeast that it
would, through this ignorance, lose
the party many votes which should
moi be allowed. Mr.. Bayard was
particularly earnest in asserting
his fealty to silver, and told in
graphic and pathetic language the
services he had performed for the
white natal"
Mr.. Patterson says that after
considerable discussion, MIR. At
kins profess:d bimetaliet, offer
ed the following substitute for the
money plank.
I'VE hold to the use of both gold
and silver as the standard money
of the country and to the coinage
of both gold and silver fortht own
ers thereof, without discriminating
against either metal or charge tol
mintagc, etc"
IL realized in a moment" con
tinued Mr.. Patterson. THAT 1T was
declaration of free coinage as
clear as though the word free was
used dozen times, but before com
mitting myself, | turned to Sena
tors Villas and Mcpherson and Mr.
Bayard and asked:
What do yol think of it gentle
men? They indicated that the.
wished to consider it He thel
conferred With Mr.. Daniel, whit
approved the substitute, and wh'
aid in response to the assertion
shat the other side would not ac
spt:
''Yes they will. They are hon
orable gentlemen; when they SAY
they favor free coinage and woult
declare openly for it, but that th'
word free is dangerous and vii
lose the party many votes IN th'
East and Northeast, they mean 1t
This amendment avoids their only
objection and We should adopt 1t. =
Mr.. Daniel then urged tie accep-
tance of the substitute, and vas
much surprised when Senator y llaI
announced that they had decided
againts accepting It, claiming tAa'
the original plank was . declar2-
ton for free silver. Mr.. Atkins

THE CERRILLOs VISIT.

Special to the New Mexican.
Cerrillos, Mch. Ex-senator and Mrs.
s. B. Elkins and four children, in their
special car, came up from the south and
stopped off here yesterday morning. The
party were met at the train by the SEN
ator's brother, Mr.. 8. H. Elkins, who,
after breakfast, escorted them in car
riages to Dolores and the Cunningham
mine, returning about p. m. via the
coal mines at Madrid.
The senator, upon learning of the or
ganization of the Cerrilles Board of
Trade, intimated that he would be pleased
to meet its members at their rooms,
which wos arranged for Z o'clock, when
he was introduced by Mr.. George w.

probably forty-6ve minutes duration in
which he said it was his intention to have
thoroughly prospected the Cunningham
hill property and erect extensive ma
chinery. He stated that he was more
than ever impressed with the valuable
resources of southern Santa Fe county
and that he and his associates would use
every endeavor to bring them to the
front. He was thoroughly convinced of
Cerrillos being the most advantageous
smelter site in the southwest and would
endeavor to further the project looking
to the erection of such works. On the
subject of silver he announced himself az
a bimetallist, and said that he wasgreatly

The base ball season was opened yester-
day afternoon by junior team from the
city and the St. Michael's college Blues,
which resulted in victory for the latter.
The size of this team is very large and to
this reason the town boys attribute their
defeat. The season promises to be an
unusually lively Ole in base ball circles,
the Santa Fe's having already organized
and the Athletics to do so on the LIST of
April. In other territorial cities, too,
the teams are getting in readiness for the
summers work, Albuquerque having been
on the field for over week. 1t might
here be suggested that in connection with
the fremen's tournament a base ball
tournament also take place; Las Vegas,
Cerrillos and Albuquerque would prob
ably enter along with a team composed
of Santa Fe players. game is possible
for next Sunday.
