WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-About
Feb / the treasury department will re-
sumo the coinage of silver dollars and
continue until about $1S,OOOOOO have
been coined When the present ad-
ministration came into power there
were in the treasury about $29,0OO,O0O
in silver dollars coined from bullion
under the act of 1890, and available for
the redemption of treasury notes is
sued in payment of the bullion pur-
chased.
Since August, 1893 about $1S,OOO,OOO
of these notes have been redeemed in
silver dollars and cancelled.
The secretary of the treasury has
now decided to coin from the bullion
now on hand and purchased under the
act of $780, about $1S,000,000, which will
restore the amount of dollars in the
treasury to what it was on March 4,
1898. The average cost of the silver bull
lion purchased under the Sherman act
was 7112 cents on the dollar, which
leaves a gain of seignorage of 2S12
cents on the dollar At this rate the
seignorage on the $4,000, 900 to be
coined ould be $5,190,000, which will
be accounted for in the available cash
on hand, increasing it by that amount.
The order for the resumption of the
coinage at the minis at Philadelphia,
New Orleans and San Francisco is ex-
pected in a day or two

SILVER MEN.
Important Meeting to Be Held in
Chicago.

Chicago.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-A meeting
of prominent silver men from all parts
of the country will be held here begin
ming. tomorrow. a preliminary con-
ference of members of the executive
committee OF the American Bimetallic
league was held today, at which steps
were taken looking to the consoIida-
ton of the silver organizations into one
body, with headquarters at Washing
ton, Chicago, San Francisco and some
point in the south. One purpose of
tomorrow's meeting will be to fix up
on the time and place for the holding
of a national silver conference at which
a national silver ticket viii be nomin-
ated. This action however, is contin-
gent upon the failure of both the old
parties to recognize silver by nominat-
ing candidates unequivocally pledged
to its rehabilitation on basis of 16 to
/. It is not necessary that adherents
of the proposed new party should all
ready have severed all connection with
the old parties, but it is essential that
they be willing to do so, should the
old parties fail to nominate candidates
pledged to the silver cause. About a
hundred silver leaders are expected ITO
attend the meeting. About dozen all
ready have arrived, including General
Weaver. Among those said to be or
the way are Chambers of Utah, Bar
tine and Light of Chicago, Judge Mil
Ter. Chicago; Brown, Boston; Judge
Cole, Iowa; Ex-Governor Richards,
Montana; Keeney San francisco, and
Thomas and Patterson, Colorado.

facurers of the United States OF which
organization he is president. In an
interview he said:
1.-The object of the association is to
get the manufacturers of the country
in touch with each other and the in
dustrial life of the nation and to create
public sentiment to induce congress
to establish the policy of reciprocity
and to foster the fast mail and COM
munication with the South American
points whose trade ought to be ours
I'VE must have mail and rapid COM
munication with these countries or we
can never have their business.
The Manufacturers association is
also interested in great international
waterways and communications and
in the building of the Nicaragua canal
which is a necessity for modern COM
mercial intercourse between the At
lantic and Pacific coasts as well as be
tween China, Japan, South America
and the Sandwich islands. 1t is also
necessity for our national defense
When the canal is built it will practic-
ally obviate the necessity for
double navy to guard our Atlantic and
Pacific coats, for it will not only con-
meet both, but decrease the space be
tween them, 10000 miles.
1.-The association will take the ground
that the Nicaragua canal should be
owned and operated by the United
States. AS to the completion of that
enterprise there can be no doubt. I
know that the canal will be built and
if the United States does not build it
Europe WILL and there will be another
pregnant cause of war when national
troubles and jealousies arise. The
present Venezuelan dispute emphasized
the necessity for the canal. Money
for it's construction could have been
secured lorg ago for Europe if our
national legislature had not been talk
ing and passing resolutions about its
ownership If congress does not do
anything this session we viii feel per-
fectly free to look elsewhere for the
means to complete the link between
the oceans. If the report of the COM
mission sent to examine is such as has
been given out in the papers We are
prepared to prove it's falsity. We can
prove by the best engineers in this
country and abroad that our work is
feasible"

ADVERSE REPORT.
Secretary Smith Against the Free
Homestead Bill.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-The house
from Secretary Smith a strong adverse
report against the free homestead bill.
Commissioner Lamoreux of the gen
eral land office, in a report accompany
ing Secretary Smiths letter, urges sew
eral reasons why the bill should not
pass and says:
The payment of money considerations
for lands by settlers thereon in these
cases, appears to be the foundation on
which the whole transaction between
them and the government was based,
ana without which the government would
not have entered into engagements with
the Indians by which the acquisition of
title by settlers was rendered possible
The purpose of the bill seems to be to
repeal all the provisions of existing laws
under which homestead entries have been
made for public lands for which a GER
tain price per acre is to be paid by the
entrymen.
Large tracts of lands have been ac-
quired through purchase from Indians
For some of this land the Indians have
already been paid by the government
and for other portions the government is
stu RESPONSIBLE There are also abandoned
military reservations involved which
have become valuable because of their
location, usually in settled communities
and persons entering them have had a
distinct understanding that they were
10 pay for them at a certain price per
acre"

BY the time the senate was called
to order the feeling of distrust pre-
vailing had increased to such a degree
that the Brown men were very nerv-
Gus. Senator Alison, Browns chief
engineer, worked his hands over his
pompadour hair, to the complete
wreck of that piece of ornamentation
and gazed suspiciously at Jones, who
was Bennett man, before the caucus
while Sutherland fixed his eagle eye
on the chair. Both gentlemen, how
ever were as unreadable as the face
which adorns the sandy plains of the
land where Cleopatra once held sway.
The balance of the members We'd with
each other in glancing around from
one face to another in quest of some
sign of intelligence as to action about
to be taken, but in vain. The Demo-
Gratis were unmoved and peaceful
They were but five in number, but they
realized where they were at.

EASY VICTORY.
BYRNES' TRIUMPH AND WHAT IT
MEANS.
Distinct Agreement Between the
Mckinley and Allison Members
to Help Each other.

ST. LOUIS, Jan 21-The Post Dis
patch says this afternoon:
The easy victory won yesterday by
Colonel Tim" Byrnes, of Minneapolis,
for sergeant-at-arms Of the Republi
can convention, means more than a
personal triumph or the recognition of
section. 1t means that there is dis
tinct agreement among the Mckinley
and Allison members to help one an
other. This information, it was stated.
was given by one of Colonel Byrnes
closest friends.
Colonel Byrnes was shown the state
ment by a reporter of the Associated
Press and had this to say:
THE story has no foundation in fact.
My selection as sergeant-at-arms was
not brought about as the result of a
combination between the Mckinley and
Allison managers. Politics had moth
ing whatever to do with the matter.
1t was my personal friendship with
the members of the subcommittee that
secured me the position"

that the squadron has been sent to

of the constabulary have been drafted.
The report has just reached here of
an episode of interest in connection
with the visit of the acting governor to
Bartica. The streets of the town
were gaily decorated with bunting,
foliage and flowers for several days
preceding the arrival of the official
visitor.
CONSPICUOUS among the decorations
We're many American flags A few
hours before the governor reached the
city Michael McTurk and Captain
Baker. inspector of prisons, arrived at
Rartica. Some few minutes later not
a single American flag was visible in
the streets. The sudden disappearance
of the Stars and Stripes caused com
ment and it was finally explained that
the American fag had been removed
out of Difference to the request of
Magistrate McTurk.

National Republican Subcommittee
AdjOurns Sine Die.


ST. LOUIS, Jan. 21-The national
Republican subcommittee in conven-
ton, after a two days session here
finally completed it's business, signed
the contract with the Business Mems
league for the care of the Republican
national convention to be held June Is
next, and adjourned sine die this even
ing.
Mr. Joseph Manley, chairman of the
subcommittee, said the arrangements
had been perfected for the convention
to the entire satisfaction of all. The
citizens of st. Louis are to bear the
entire expense attending the conven-
ion. Each member of the national
committee is to bear his own personal
expenses. The citizens committee.
however, will provide rooms for the
meeting of the national committee for
transacting it's official business in con-
nection with the convention. Mr. Man
ley said he was also authorized to say
for every member of the sub-commit-
tee, that the selection of the sergeant
alarms and his deputies had no con-
nection whatever with any particular
candidate and has no significance re-
garding the presidential contest.
Accompanied by Mr.. Adler, of Chi
cago, as consulting architect, the mem
bers of the subcommittee were es-
corted to the exposition building by the
citizens committee this afternoon.
They inspected the north nave of the
immense building which will be re-
modelled to suit the wants of the con-
vention.
When completed it is estimated that
the hall viii seat at least $4,000 people
and will have ample committee rooms.
Everything that can be done to facili-
tate the work of the press and tele-
graph service is being arranged for
The accommodations, it is stated will
be the most complete in every detail
that have been afforded at any other
national convention.
committee appointed the following
committees:
On Printing. S. Clarkson, of Iowa;
w. H. Hahn. of Ohio, and R. G.
Kerens, of Missouri.
On Hall-GeneraI Clayton, of Ar
kansas; W. j. Campbell. of Illinois,
and Henry G. Payne, of Wisconsin.
It was decided that visiting Repub-
licans would have to look to the dele
gates of their respective districts for
tickets to the convention. The usual
number of tickets will be given to the
local committee.
A resolution was adopted providing
that the 500 admission tickets set apart
for the Grard Army of the Republic
be turned over to the members of the
council of admission of that organiza-
ton for distribution or the basis of the
membership of organization in each
state and territory.

OTTAWA, Ont. Jan. A-The British

house of representatives at u o'clock
today and ratify the election.
The beIloting began promptly at 2:3O
in both houses. Long before that hour
people interested in the contest began
to assemble in the galleries of both
houses and by the time the roll calls
started not seat in either the senate
chamber or the house of representa-
tives was left vacant, or a foot of
standing room unoccupied, so great
was the interest manifested in the first
election of the men who will repre-
sent Utah in the upper house of
congress- Among the spectators were
men prominent in every walk of lie
in Utah. while on the floor scared
among the members of both branches
were ex-members of territorial legisla-
lures judges and ex-judges, politicians
and other personages who have been
for years identified with the history of
the territory that was, the state that
is. The formality of the election
passed off with very little in the nature
of important incident transpiring othe,'
than at times enthusiasm ran to a high
pitch and the CITY and county building,
staunch as it is. fairly rocked with
the applause that burst forth in ire
mendous volume. Particularly was this
true in the house. where the chief in
terest conferred. where by far the
largest gathering cong"e gated and
where the successful aspirants for The
high honors appeared after the vote

gratulations of their friends.

It Nav Rest.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-The prediction
is freely made by members of the house
committee on foreign affairs that if the
proposed reaffirmation of the Monroe doc
Jrine is adopted by the senate and sent
over to the house for action, it will be
allowed to rest quietly in the commit
tee files. A canvas of more than ma
jority of both Republican and Demo-
cratic members of the committee failed
to discover any member who endorsed it.
One of the foremost authorities on dip
lomatic matters in the house said he
deemed it very poor diplomacy to take
sion between this government and Great
Britain in what practically amounted to
a crisis
