CAME TO THEIR RELIEF.
SccI etary Lamont Advances Money to
Pay Army Ofhccra.


Although Secretary Lament has done his
best to con ;eal the fact. 1t is well known
throughout the rank and file of the army
by this time that they would not have re-
ceived their back pay for some time to
come if the Secretary had not come to
their relief by advancing the money re-
qured from his own private funds and
also by the transfer of funds. Paymaster
General Stanton has notified all the Off
GERS of the army who have not yet re-
ceived the pay due them by the govern
ment on account of their official salaries
for any part of the fiscal yS;ir ended June
80 last, because of deficiency in appropria-
ton, tnat the Secretary of War has unoffi-
cialIy arranged for their prompt payment
without discount. The necessary funds for
this purpose have been deposited with tire
National City Bank, 81 Wall street, New
York. All that is necessary for an officer
to receive his arrears of pay is for him to
forward his pay account. properly indors-
ed as correct by the paymaster general of
the army, to the bank named and receive
in return, either through the paymaSter
general or an officer of the pay depart
ment, whichever method is most convep-
lent, a draft for the full amount stated TO
be due. 1t is estimated that it will take
at least $4,000 to meet these payments.
Secretary Lamont has advanced this sum
in the confident expectation that he will
be reimbursed in due course of time when
Congress has had opportunity to consider
the subject. The accounts will not be pre-
sented to the accounting officers of the
treasury until after Congress shall have
made ample provision for their payment
through a deficiency appropriation.
In addition to the amount due the Off
GERS there is also about $50 600 due to en-
listed men, through the action of the last
Congress in revoking the law requiring
the retention of certain portion of their
pay without making any provision to meet
the deficiency thus created in the appro-
priations. The Secretary has found way
to partially meet this deficiency by the
transfer of certain unexpended balances,
and the soldiers will be paid as far as pos
sible out of this account. 1t is understood
that the accounting officers have decided
that there are no legal obstacles in the
way of the Secretary's generous plan to
provide for a congressional oversight.

MEMS REQUEST GRANTED
President Phillips Removes the Supervisor
of the Ninth Street Road.
He Finds the Official Was Jealous and
Efficient, but Offensive to
the Employees.

The protest made by the motormen and
conductors employed on the 9th street
branch of the Metropolitan railroad against
the further continuance of Supervisor Ell
lott in office, because of his alleged over
bearing manner and his attempts to make
trouble for the men over whom he eXer-
cised control, was heard by President Phil
lips yesterday. President Lawrence of The
Protective Street Railway Union and Mr..
Casey, members of the executive commit
tee of the union, We're present Supervisor
Elliott was also in the room. but his pres
ence did not deter the men from reciting
what they considered instances of his
treatment of them. The paper which had
been circulated for signature among the
men requested that Mr.. Elliott be relieved
from duty as supervisor, and given his
former position as a conductor on the line.
There were sixty-one signers. The hearing
lasted nearly two hours, the testimony
being taken down stenographic ally by Pres
ident Phillips secretary. At its conclusion
Mr.. Phillips announced that he would rem
der his deci lion today. Accordingly, this
morning a letter vas forwarded by Mr..
Phillips to Mr.. Elliott, which read as fol-
lows:
Dear Sir: After careful consideration
of the protest of the motormen and con-
ductors against you 1 have come to the
following conclusions:
First. That you have been Jealous and
efficient in the discharge OF your duties.
Second. That from your manners you
have, unknowingly to yourself, made your
self personally offensive to a large num-
ber of tie men.
Third. That a supervisor ought to have
the respect and good will of the good men
under his direction.
From these facts conclude the welfare
of the company will be best subserved by
the appointment of another supervisor in
your place. From the zeal with which
you have filled your office 1t is my duty,
as well as my pleasure. to offer you the
position of conductor
Mr.. Phillips this morning appointed Mr..
F. N Thomas as supervisor in Mr.. Elliatt's
place. Mr.. Thomas Is q member of the
union and Is also an old conductor or the

VALUE OF SILVER COINS.

Those of France and Mexico.

Why There is n Difference Between
Those of France and Mexico.
Representative Bankhead of Alabama has
been in Washington during several days,
and his atteEtion was called to the qlo-
tatiols OF the value of the five franc
Frerch coin and the Mexican dollar. He
noticed that the French piece of money,
which contained 4S7 cents of silver in
commercial value, had value of money
nearly equal to 81. On the other hand,
the Mexican silver dollar, with 5S.25 cents
worth of silver in commercial value, could
not be exchanged for more than half a
dollar. In other words, the French coin
passed in circulation for twice the value
of silver contained in it, while the Mexican
dollar was rot worth money, or, at
.eest. did not pass currently as money,
for an amount equal to its bullion value.
Mr.. Preston. director of the mint, was
sought to throw light upon this subject,
and he at once replied that the solution
was very easy. The French coin. he said
was' interchangeable with gold, while the
Mexican government gave no assurance
that their dollar could ever be redeemed or
exchanged with anything else except sill
ver The value of the American silver dol
lar IS maintained by the same method as
that which upholds the French coin.

the price of the raw material has increased

eight cents to s103 per pound. One firm
is reported to have cleared five million dol
lars in the past five months, and half
dozen others to have done almost as we'll
The cause of the advance is found in the
restoration of mohair and lustsr fabrics
to popularity last spring. In consequence
of this change in the fashions Bradford
Is enjoying prosperity chat it has not
known for twenty-five years. Mr.. Meeker
says it is generally believed that the de-
mand will continue for another season or
two. He also states that he has received

THE TORPEDO BOATS
The Herreshoffs May Get the Contract to
Build All Three.
RecOmm nilatiOns to That Eject If 1t
Can BE Done without Violn-
tiOn of Law.

Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn and
Chief Engineer Melville, who have had
under joint consideration the bids for the
three torpedo boats authorized by the last
Congress, have completed their report and
it is understood have recommended that
the bids of the Herreshoffs be accepted.
provided it can be done under the law,
which provided for building one boat on
the Pacific coast, one on the Mississippi
and one on the gulf coast. The only west
ern bids were from the Pacific coast, and
these exceeded the limit of cost fixed by
Cor gress. Nothing official will be given
out concerning their conclusions until the
Secretary of the Navy passes upon the
question, but the understanding about the
department is that the two bureau chiefs
agree in recommending the acceptance of
the bid of the Herreshoffs, which was the
lowest made, with some conditions attached
and providing the contract can be let to
this firm without violation of law.
Legal Questions Involved.
There are several legal questions involved
In the matter, which have not yet been
taken up. The law provides for the build
ing Of one of the three torpedo boats IN
the Pacific coast, one on the Mississippi
river and one on the gulf coast, providing
certain conditions are complied with, and
tLdt III case IneSe conditions are not ac-
oepted by the bidders the department can
have the boats built elsewhere. No bids
were received from either the gulf or the
mississippi river ectiOn, while three were
made from the Pacific coast and one, that
of the Herreshoffs. from the Atlantic coast.
OF these four bids, that of the Herreshoffs
was the only one which, with the arma-
ment added. would come within the limit
of cost fixed by law.
The HerreshOffs and the Contract.
In view of these conditions. 1t would be
clearly competent to give the contract to
the Herreshoffs for all the boats. if plans
Should prove acceptable, but for the doubt
that is felt as to the propriety of having
the vessels built on the Atlantic coast with
out giving other eastern ship builders fur
ther opportunity to bid.
Another legal point involved is as to
whether it is contemplated by the law that
the cost of each boat shall be limited to
s175, coo. or whether some of the boats can
be constructed at a greater price and some
at a lesser. providing all the vessels are
built within the aggregate appropriation.

CAPITOL OIL PAINTINGS.

The Work of RetOuchinE and Re-
vanishing Them Nearly Completed.
The work of cleaning, retouching and re-
vanishing the Oil paintings in the Capitol,
which was begun shortly after the ad-
jeurnment of Congress, is now nearly COM
pleted. All the paintings in the rotunda
have been taken from their frames and
gone over by the artist, the last one-"De
Soto Discovering the Mississippf'-now
being under his hands. The large oil paint
ing representing a scene in the battle of
Lake Erie, which stands at the head of
the staircase on the Senate side of the
building, was not taken from it's frame for
purposes of retouching. Great scaffoldins
was built in front of it, and the artist
stood on this while doing his work. The
result of the artists work has been that
the Oil paintings about the Capitol have a
freshness they have not borne for long
time.
