MEXICAN MONEY
An Old Law That the Silver Men Have
Unearthed.

Oneartneu.
Washington, Feb. 3.--An old law has
been discovered on the statute books by
free silver men which they declare gives
them ground to hope that they can bring
about the coinage of silver in an indirect
way through the use OF Mexican dollars.
The law was passed in 1857 and is section
1867 of the Revised Statutes. 1t is as fol-
lows:
The pieces commonly known as the
quarter eighth and sixteenth of the Span
ish dollar and of the Mexican dollar shall
be receivable at the Treasury of the
United States and it's several offices and
its several postofiices and land offices at
the rates of valuation following: The
fourth OF dollar, or piece of two reales,
at 20 cents; the eighth of a dollar, or piece
of one reale, at 10 cents; and the sixteenth
OF a dollar, or haf-reale, at cents.
The section following provides that the
coins shall not be reissued from the treas
ury but shall be recoined into United
States coins. The law has never been re-
pealed and silver men in congress assert
that it is possible to send the metal to
Mexico for coinage, re-import it into the
OhlOou DotueS anu lrcSeHb IL w Gle treas
ury. 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 sill
yer law to the attention of the House and
serve as an opening wedge in the discus
sion OF the question. If not reported
from n 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 1, 1895, have been paid in
the coins mentioned in the law and which
provided for their receipt at the Treasury,

CONTESTS. FOR LAND
There Is Vigorous Hostility to
a aRecommendationof of Dock.
ery's Commission.
ST0CKSLAGER'S PAMPHLET
Giving Reasons for Hostility to
the Repeal of Present
Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE recon-
mendation of the Dockery commission
that the second section of the act of
May IA, 1884, relating to land contests
be repealed, is vigorously antagonfzed by
s. M. Stockslager, formerly the COM
missioner Of the general land office.
The latter has issued o pamphlet giving
his reasons for opposing the repeal or
the section. The law, says the ex-com-
missioner, has been in force nearly 10
years. Its purpose was to give to the
individual who furnished to the govern
ment the information In given case
that the law was not being complied
with and paid the expenses of establish
ing that fact and procuring cancella-
tion of the entry, preferred right for
80 days after, the Judgment of cancella-
ton, to institute claim to the land.
Contests, he says, were permitted be-
fore the enactment of the law, and
would be still if it were repealed.
HASN'T Been Recommended.
Although the law has been in force
more than IA years, no commissioner oi
the general land office, and no secretary
of the interior has suggested its repeal
MIR. Stockslager says he is satisfied the
estimated increase in expenses sub
mitted by the experts of the commission
as due to.the act is greatly in excess oi
the added expense thereof. In conclud
ing his argument, he says:
IF Mr.. Teller was right when ht
said that congress had in various way,
invited and encouraged persons to in
form against those who are endeavorinl
to acquire title to the public lands fraud
ulently and Illegally as the only ade
quate means of protecting the Unitet
States, and if Secretaries Lamar. Villas
Noble and Smith were right in LIBERAL,
constituting the act to further this pur
pose, and congress has legislated fo
years with this knowledge before ii
then we insist, this repeal would be-
complete reversal Of the policy of TIN
government on this subject, and tina
too, without any recommendation fron
the land department"
