O. What is meant by "a silver basisg
A. That the notes issued are redeemable

Napoleon's soldiers are not yet dead, and
one man who fought under the great
French general is said to be living now
near Cleveland, o. Whether that is true
or not, 1t is fact that only recently one
of Napoleon's old warriors died at the Sol
: dier's Home, kearny, n. ].
His name was Henry Mueller, and he was
born in Germany in 1874, and when the
French armies invaded Prussia Mueller
was Is years old. With many of his com
patriots, he was drafted into the grand
army, and marched off to Russia to fight
the Cossacks and the cold. He was at
Moscow, and tramped all the way back
in the disastrous retreat, suffering untold
tortures and seeing his fellow-soldiers
| falling in the snow almost at every step
But Mueller kept up, and lived to get back
into Germany, and to fight at the battles
of Bautzen, Leipsic. and finally in the
great battle of Waterloo.
After Napoleon had been captured by the
British and sent to the lonely island of
st. Helena, and the great armies of Europe
| had been disbanded, Mueller took ship and
came to hte United States. Not long after
his arrival in this country the Seminole
and Mexican wars broke out and the old
spirit of the soldier was reawakened in
Mueller, and he went again to the front
this time wearing the American uniform
and fighting for the American flag. So
much warfare had now made a confirmed
soldier of the German. and so when the
war of the rebellion broke out in 1861 he
again took out his musket and fought
through the entire war
one of the most wonderful things of
all these experiences is that Mueller was
never seriously wounded, and managed
| to keep himself in such good health thar
| he lived to be over one hundred years old
and spent his last days in peace and COM
fort in the Soldiers Home. smoking his
! long German pipe on the lawn under the
| trees, and telling of his own personal ex-
| periences, which. to most of us, are part
| of a very remote history.

The Nicaragua canal and the Hawaiian

question Of reporting a canal bill to the

to the committee in the interest Of that

THE VENEZUELAN COMMISSION.
Of Reports From the Indi

Reading OF Reports From the Indf-
vfdaal Members Fills the Time.
The Vel csuslan commission met today
after ten days recess with all of the
members present at the beginning, save
Mr.. Gilman, and he came in time to at
tend the afternoon session. The session
was consumed again in the reading Of re-
ports from the Individual members upon
the progress they are making with the
particular matters of investigation intrust-
ed to them.
The Venezuelan Case.
Mr.. Scruggs, the consul for the venez-
uelan government, has submitted about
forty maps and charts, which are receiv-
ing consideration. Also he has presented
a few TRANSACTIONS of documents included
in the mass of evidence prepared at Cara
cas- and transmitted to the commission
through Minister Andrade. There is much
more Of this matter now in the hands of
the translators, and 1t is expected that
at least two weeks time will be consumed
in the work Of preparing it for the use of
the commission. This matter is said to
be very acceptable just now, promising, as
1t does, to considerably abridge the work
Of making transcripts of original docu-
ments. Heing all certified copies of these
records, the evidence is Of the highest or
der, legally, and Is calculated to prove val
liable also as affording q means of check
ing errors in the translations and excerpts
as set out in the British blue book de-
voted to the presentation Of the British
case.
A British Supplement.
1t =ppears that the Venezuelan govern
ment has been engaged in the preparation
of this evidence for several years, and to
that end has had agents at work on orig
inal documents and records in London,
Madrid, The Hague and in the Vatican. The
result of its presentation will be to large
ly reduce the work before the commission.
Word has come from London to the effect
that the British government is preparing
a supplement TO the blue book, con tanning
translations of documents generally refer
red to in the first volume. which is ex-
pected to reach Washington very soon, but
saving the presentation of the blue book
(and even this came Indirectly, the British
government has SO far failed to, follow the
example set by Venezuela and submit a
formal case to the commission and to ac-
cept the invitation to be represented by
counsel
