The Herreshof Torpedo Boats fnhen Com
p,efeiy Ont OF Their Hands.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Z3.-The naval
constructors and engineers are greatly
surprised and disturbed over an order
isuseG by Secretary Herbert, taking ou OF
their hands entirely the construction OF
two torpedo boats, the contract for which
has beer. awarded 10 the Herreshoh
Compan
on ID award OF the contract, a repre-
sentative OF the Herreshoffs called on the
Secretary, and urged that expert super
vision By departmental representatives, be
waived In their case. II was represent
ed that this supervision was ordinarily
exceedingly troublesome to contractors.
and that in the case OF reliable nrms,
such as that Of the herreshon Company,
the Cramps and the Union Iron-N orks,
firms OF experience and reliability, IL
was not necessary TO keep ~ the works
d constructor and an engineer whose
sole duty was TO see that the contract
obligations were carried out. 1t was
suggested 10 the Secretary that these
inspectors were sometimes troublesome
In their exaction and oftentime put tne
contractors 10 great deal or trouble
and expense, without much considera-
ton.
Secretary Herbert has concluded TO al
low the Herreshon people to build the
torpedo boats without the usual super
vision OF an engineer and constructor.
This is the first time. IL Is said, In The
history OF the navy, when contract Work
OF this magnitude has been carried on
without the rigid inspection Of an ens'-
neer and constructor. The department.
will not be entirely without representa-
ton, however. for Secretary Herbert has
detailed Commander @. A. Converse, In
charge OF the torpedo station at New
nort. for this duty.

SILVER COINAGE DISCONTINUED.
Except that of Subsidiary Coin. After NO.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2.-All silver com

been ordered suspended after November
list next by Secretary Carlisle. In carry
ing out this policy the New Orleans La]
mint will be practically closed ana o.s
mantled after that date, and its se'eny
employees furloughed without pay Inc
letter containing these instructions as 70
discontnuing coinage operations at New
orleans were mailed 10 Superii'ei'e"'
OvertOn Cabeon Monday nghi ~
The practical effect of the action taken
by Secretary Carlisle Is TO convert an
silver bullion held by the governnent
into gold obligations. Under the party
clause of the sherman act. Secretary
Window, in October, 1899 construed the
law to mean that all Sherman notss IS
sued against bullion were redeemaDie IN
gold. This construction OF the law wa wa,
concurrod I'm by his successors Secretaries
Foster and Carlisle, and has been In
practical operation during the past SIX
years. Under Il J22 has been re-
deemed. The coinage or silver bullion into
standard silver dollars operates 70 pre-
vent the sherman notes being Issued upon
them. Silver certificates, however, are
issued against standard silver dollars and
are redeemaDle only In silver.
Thus from the same base silver bullion.
sherman notes. become gold obligations.
and silver coined Into standard silver dol
lars and silver certificates issued upon
them become silver obligations.
The suspension of the coinage OF stand
ard silver dollars. therefore, leaves Dui-
Hon silver free from any further liability
Of conversion into silver obligations. The
closing up OF the New Orleans mint leaves
only the United States mints at Philadel-
phia and San Francisco In odefation. Al
these mints only gold and subsidiary sill
yer will hereafter be coined. unless Con-
gress should direct to the contrary and
It's action should be approved by the
President.
or the employees in the New orleans
mint thirty are women and forty
men. Secretary Carlisle for some
time past has been considering
the advisabllity of stopping all
coinage except that OF subsidiary
coins and since he has been the head or
the Treasury Department only i,32 IS5
standard silver dollars have been minted.
only ninety standard silver dollars have
been coined since July last. The COIN
