The Order DissoIxed.

In the suit in equity Of William F.
Salter against Robert G. Campbell and
Chas. c. Duncanson, in which Mr.. Salter
complained that two certificates of stock
in the HARDWOOD Park land syndicate, given
by him to Mr. Campbell as collateral for
two promissory notes, amounting to s165.
were about to be sold at auction by Mr..
Duncanson at Mr.. Campbell's request,
Judge Cox has dissolved the order restrain
ing the sale. In his answer Mr.. Duncanson
stated that he had no personal knowledge
Of the dealings between Mr.. Salter and
Mr.. Campbell. and explained that he merely
advertised the sale at the request of the
latter and in the usual form, Mr.. Salter
being duly notified. Mr.. Campbell an
swered by denying that any part Of the
notes referred to by Mr.. Salter had been
paid. and also stated that they had been
Cancelled and delivered to Mr.. Salter. What
ever money he did receive from Mr.. Salter
was entirely upon other and different con-
siderations. Also that the collateral re-
ferred to related to two notes for $749S
and $119.5S, respectively.

PROF. RILEY'S FUNERAL
Many Distinguished Friends of the Dead
Scientist in Attendance.
A Feeling Tribute Extended by His
Former Associa ties I'm the Depart
ment of Agriculture.

The funeral of the late Prof. C. v. Riley.
whose appalling death on Saturday caused
such a shock to the community where he
was so widely known and popular, as well
as to the scientific world, in which he was
such an important and valuable factor,
took place this afternoon from his late
residence on Columbia Heights, at 213o
Wyoming avenue. There was a large at
tendance of the friends of the dead scien-
fist, including nearly all the representa-
tives of the various branches of advanced
thought in the capital. The floral remem-
ORANGES were many and magnificent. The
services were conducted by Rev. Alexander
Kent, pastor of the Peoples Church, who
paid an eloquent tribute to the character
and qualities of the deceased. At the con-
clusion of the ceremonies the remains were
taken to Glenwood cemetery. The active
pallbearers were chosen from among Prof.
Riley's former associates and assistants IN
the bureau of ethnology Of the Department
of Agriculture. The honorary pallbearers
were District Commissioner Truesdell, Gen.
A. w. Greedy, Prof Otis 7. Mason, Com
missioner of Education w. T. Harris, Prof
Cleveland Able, Prof. Theodore Gill and
DR.. Wiley.
A Feeling Tribute.
The chiefs of bureaus and divisions and
other scientific workers in the Department
of Agriculture met yesterday afternoon
at o'clock in the library of the depart
ment to take action upon the death Of DR..
G. v. Riley. DR.. H. w. Wiley called the
meeting to order, and. after stating its OBJ
ject, briefly reviewed the work OF the de-
ceased, alling attention to his eminent
ability as scientist and his sterling quail
ties as a man. At the close Of DR.. Wiley's
remarks committee, consisting of Messrs.
B. T. Galloway A. C. True and L. o. How
ard, was appointed to draw up suitable res
olutions. After brief recess the commit
tee submitted a resolution, which was
adopted by the meeting, and which recited
that in the death of DR.. c. v. Riley science
had lost an eminent and indefatigable In
vestigator, one who was the founder and
foremost leader in economic entomology
throughout the world; that his former as
sociates had lost a friend and fellow
worker, whose great attachments and tire
less energy have been an inspiration to
them all, and that their profound sym
pathy be extended to the widow and family
of the deceased, and that copy Of the
resolution be transmitted to them.

COMING DOUBLE EAGLES
Object Of Secretary Carlisle in ORDERING
This Kind Of Work.
To Redeem Greenbacks md Treasurv
Note. More Readiiy--capacity
of tho Mint Presses.

Acting under Instructions from the Treas
ury Department, the superintendent of the
United States mint at Philadelphia has
made arrangements for an extensive COIN
age of double eagles. or twenty-dollar
pieces. The gold bars now stored at that
mint will be used for this purpose. There
Is stock of s25,00O.OOO in bullion at the
New York subtreasurY, and it is possible
that 1t, too. may be utilized for the coinage
Of double eagles In case of necessity. 1t is
stated that this movement Is made in or
der to replenish the government gold bal
arce. The error Of this statement is in
Dictated by the fact that the bullion held
by the government is already included in
Its stated gold balance on the same status
as gold coin, and the coinage of the bullion
cannot possibly add to the volume of the
reserve.
Real Purpose of the Coinage.
The real purpose of the gold coinage is to
put the department in a better position for
the redemption Of greenbacks and treasury
notes. The recent Withdrawals were all in
gold coin and have materially decreased the
supply of such coins available for the re-
demption Of gold certificates, United States
notes and treasury notes. 1t is to meet
this situation that the government is turn
ing its bullion into specie.
Order Against Shipping Ingots.
Gold in coin form Is not SO desirable for
shipment as gold in the shape Of bars and
ingots, but the government has made the
rate on bars so high as to practically pro-
hibit Its further withdrawal in that form.
The order against the delivery Of bars for
shipment was issued several months ago,
as means of checking the too free expor-
tation Of the yellow metal. Since then all
orders for gold for shipment have been met
with coin. The objection to these is that
there Is a lass in their handling from abra-
sion. The coinage of IS and SO gold pieces
has been steadily pursued at the Philadei-
phia mint for some time past. In obedience
to an order from Washington the work on
the double eagles was begun yesterday.
There were several million dollars worth
of gold bars in the coiners vault, and these
were used in rolling out the sheets from
which the blanks for the coin will be cut.
Capacity of the Coming Presses.
The coming press which will stamp the
double eagles has a capacity of $4,000
pieces a day, amounting to 100000. Thus
there can be turned out over ten million
dollars a month. The principal reason
given for the large coinage Of double eagles
is that 1t counts so much faster than the
five or ten dollar gold pieces.
There is about $4O,0OO,000 worth of gold
In the mint ready for coinage Yesterday
from the mint there was shipped 81, 600, 600
worth of gold coin to the New York sub
treasury and $2OOO,000 worth went over to
that city last week. Superintendent Kretz
says that at the present time there was on
hand the largest amount of coin, including
silver, In the history of the mint-over
$2Oo,OOO,OOO. There will also soon be on
hand about 100000 in old silver money to

IRON MEN QUIT WORK.
Troubles Over Wages and Hours ON a
Public Building.

Troubles Over Wages and Hours ON
Public Building.
A number of ron workers on the extern
sion of the government printing office quit
work yesterday, because they had become
dissatisfied with the pay they were getting.
Before being given work each man signed
an agreement with the contractor, Mr..
Frank NJ. McVaugh, to work twelve hours
or more for II cents per hour. Recently the
men ascertained that other men were get
ting Is cents per hour for the same class Of
work and they refused to work any longer
for the old rate. Mr.. McVaugh says he will
pay no more than he has been doing, and
that he can get plenty OF men TO 90 the
work at that rate.
The men also complained that upon quit
ting work they could not get their money,
but Mr.. McVaugh says they will all be paid
in full Saturday next, that being his regu-
lar pay day.
1t is stated that the men who quit will en-
deavor to have Contractor McVaugh pro-
ceeded against on charge Of violating the
eight-hour law.
What Mr.. McVaugh Says.
Mr.. Mcvaugh this afternoon told Star
reporter that he today hired men to take
the places of those who quit work yester-
day and that he had also put on an addi-
tional force, as it is necessary to have the
iron work completed in time for all the
brick work to be finished before cold
weather sets in. 1.-The iron work is now
far behind" said Mr.. McVaugh, land we
are under heavy penalty to have the job
finished by a certain date. This is the rea-
son why 1 made an agreement with the
men employed that they should work as
many hours per day as seemed to me to be
necessary. 1t should be further stated"
said he, that all the men who quit yes
terday were not working for II cents per
hour, some being paid II cents, and they
were paid full rate for all the overtime
they made"

The price of diamonds is an involved sub

rule was that the value of two diamonds of
like quality Is proportionate to the square
OF their weights. Thus if one-carat stone
Is worth 500, a two-carat gem would be
worth $40, a three-carat $500.
