McklNLEYS VIEWS
On the Currency and Tariff Set Forth by Sen
ator John Sherman.

Brooklyn y. Y. April 2l.-At a meeting
of he Brooklyn Young Republican Club
this evening. the following was read:
Washington, April -.
Mr Judson G.. Wall.
My Dear Sir: Your note of the 2lst Is
received. There can he no doubt as TO
the opinions of Major Mckinley on the
money question. He is committed in
every form by speech and otherwise. to
the Republican policy of maintaining the
present gold coin of the United States AS
the standard of value. He. in common
with myself and others believe that sill
Yer should he employed As money.
always however, to be maintained at par
with gold.
The convenience of the silver coin for
minor transactions of life is so manifest
that no sound money would desire its
discontinuance. but upon primary condi-
ton that its coinage should be limited
and purchasing power maintained by the
fat of government at 4 par with gold.
He believes. as l do. that a tariff
should be adopted that will inn
partially protect all American industries
from undue competition with foreign pro-
auctions that can he and ought to be
produced in the United States.
Very truly yours.
JOHN SHERMAN.

VENEZUELAN COMMISSION
Not Influenced by Anything But Bare Facts
In the Case.

Washington. April 27.-Nlisinforma-
ton as To the Venezuelan commission
multiplies on both sides of the Atlantic.
The latest developed idea that the
~orl; Of the Venezuelan commission is
being delayed through the influence of
the administration, in order that it
may carry out some underlined plan of
settling the boundary dispute by diplo-
matte negotiations. thus avoiding any
sharply drawn decision on the contro-
Versy. such as the commission was in
structcd to make. appears as wholly
unsubstantiated as many previous ru
mors on the same subject. Nor is
there any more foundation for the
guess that the trend of opinion in the
commission is adverse to Great Bri-
tain.
The sole delay now annoying the
commission results from the slowness
with which the Venezuelan copies of
the Spanish archives are being trans
lated. and the consequent loss of time
which will be involved in sending an
agent to Madrid and Seville to verify
the accuracy of all quotations submit
ted by both contestants. The case. as
far as the Dutch records are concerned.
is practically complete. except in veri-
fication. and these broadly combat
Venezuela's claim TO any considerable
possessions as the heir of Spain east of
the Orinoco river above its mouth.
From an authentic source it is
learned that no unimpeachabie evi-
dence has yet been forthcoming to sus-
tain any Venezuelan claim east OF the
Pomeronn river at the coast. as well

and the agents of that country being
still engaged in preparing documents
bearing on the interior possessions of
Spain when the Dutch colonial en-
croachments We're being resisted.

can the report of the commission be
prepared in less than a month after all
possible evidence has been collected,

has any idea that the case will be in
condition for final consideration for an
other month.
In the meantime the commissioners
are neither informed of any diplomatic
negotiations to render the work super
tluous. nor have they intmated in any
manner. directly or indirectly. to Sec
rotary olney. or any other person. that
their decision would be unfavorab BILE to
either one of the parties in the contro-
versy this. for the simple reason that
like all judges, they are waiting for
complete presentment of facts before
formulating a decision.

brought damage suit against the Ha-
waiian Tramways Co., on account of
an alleged overcharge in car fare.
Complainant boarded car on King
street near Thomas Square to ride to
school street on Nuuanu. He gave the
driver five cents and asked for trans
fer, which was efused. At Nuuanu
and King complainant says he left the
car and took another on the Nuuanu
street line. When the driver asked for
fare it was refused, the passenger
stating that he had already paid on
the King street car. The driver in
sisted and the fare was paid. The
case is not without interest, as it will
settle the question as to what the law
defines as zone continuous trip"
