The seating of Senator Kcnney, Of Della
ware, and the certainty that there will
be no effort to bring up Mr. Addicks con-
tention that the rump legislature gave him
title, leaves only three riddles as to the
new Senate-Oreg gon, South Dakota, and
Kentucky. Present indications point to
vacancy from Oregon, Popuiist with Re-
publican inclinations from South Dakota,
and the appointment of Republican in
Kentucky, who will serve until the legisla-
ture acts in special session or at its
next regular meeting.
The Oregon vacancy would continue until
a special session of the next regular session
OF the legislature. This is phase of
the close struggle for the new Senate that
has not been foreseen by the Republican
managers. 1t is a Roland for the Oliver
that Mr.. Hanna furnished in North Carolina.
If Senator Mitchell is beaten n-and even his
Intimate friend, Nat Mckay, now thinks
he will be, the lie ~ Senate viii not have
enough Republicans to pass tariff bill.
They Will, however, have the four silver
Republicans Cannon, Mantle, Teller, and
Turner-the Populists7 Allen, Butler. Jones,
Stewart, Harris, Heitfeld, and kyle's sue
cessor and the Sugar Democrat, McEnery,
of Louisiana, to draw on.
There is no hope THAT such men as Allen
and Butler Will ever vote for tariff bill.
But out of the other chances it is reason
able to assume that the Republicans can
secure enough to pass some kind OF u
tariff bill. But as passed it is likely to
please the Republican party about as well
as the Wilson'Gornian ''perfidy and dis
honor" act pleased Mr.. Cleveland.

said one OF the silver Republicans of the

that he is ready to make a hlunder verT
much akin to that made by MIR. Cleveland
in S93. Although he was elected on the
money issue, he will undertake to first
fix the tariff, and that will be the business

What Mr.. Gage Can Do

Many people imagine that because man
has been national banker, he is especially
iittea lor .tcad Oh tine Treasury De-
partnent. Mr.. Cages friends must not
expect him to go into the Treasury De-
partrnent and run it as he does his bank
He will find it very different He runs
his bank to suit himself, according to rules
of his own make. In the Treasury De-
partment he viii find laws governing every
possible action Secretary can take
He will find enough red tape to make him
weary before the first day is over But
it is there and he must be tied up in it.
His knowledge of banking won't help him.
Some people say-in fact a Chicago Con-
gresham who ought to have known better
said only yesterday-that the Treasury
Department is nothing more than a great
big bank. The impression is wrong.
The Treasury is a great big machine.
The machinery consists OF 2,100 clerks
in the department here, and about six
thousand more throughout the country.
All of these thousands perform their work
according to law There are multitude
OF conflicting interpretations of the law
which these clerks are paid to execute.
Most of them are harmonIZed before the
Secretary isreached. But he hasthousands
OF them during the year to settle. The
fine distinctions in the cumbersome tariff
law generally require his decision If the
casein which the question be raisedinvolves
much money. In fact the great bulk Of
the questions which he will be called on
to decide will be questions of law rather
than questions OF banking.

There is an idea that as Secretary of the
Treasury he will have much to do with
national banks. He won't have a thing to
do with them. save To esignatc such and
such a bank as depository for Federal
funds. All the other business connected
with national banks is handled by the
Comptroller of the Currency, an officer
over whom the Secretary has no control.
The Secretary cannot appoint or dis
charge Comptroller OF the Currency. Even
the President, who appoints the Comp
troller can't dismiss him till his term eX-
pires. For instance. Comptroller Eckels'
term will not expire till year from next
April Neither Mr.. Cleveland nor Mr.. Nc
Kinley, when he becomes President. can
discharge Mr.. Eckeis before then. The only
way to get rid of the Comptroller of the
Currency is either TO have him resign OF
to impeach him. Resignation is purely vol
untary with him, and malfeasance on his
part is necessary to impeaCh lin. All
which goes 10 show how little d banking
experience helps man who becomes Sec
retary Of the Treasury.

TRAVEL BY WHEELBRROW
One of the Chief Means Of Transport
in Northern China

The wheelbarrow affords one of the
chief means Of travel and transport in
the northern part of the Chinese empire
and throughout the great plain. But the
Chinese wheelbarrow has, 1t should be
said. little relation to our own vehicle OF
that name. 1t is constructed with seat
ing accommodation for four people, two
on each side, the fare being pence pei
mile. Immediately behind the barrow
between the shafts, IS long oblons
shaped basket, in which a small ssil Il
sometimes set, and when a fair wind is
blowing it proves to be a great help to
the wheeler.
The developme Of the cotton industry
in Shanghai has caused a wonderful eX-
pansion in the wheelbarrow service
which Is extensively resorted to for pas
senger traffic, especially for carrying
workmen to and from the mills. One
man can wheel six women for tistanct
of about three miles, morning and even
ing, and be quite content to receive se'
charge of 1 shilling and pence month
About 1000 licenses are issued monthly
to the same number of wheelbarrows
plying for hire In the streets of the for
eigp settlements at Shanghai. Yet
though these vehicles are in addition tc
a large traffic of other kinds, the upsets
and accidents are remarkably few.-Lon-

bay. Back In the early TO- the Taeexna
Mail company, not being able to handily
secure gold and silver for use IN trading
with and paying of the Indian laborssp
and early settlers, hit upon the novel
plan of issuing their own currency. and
to this end set their blacksmith at work
to fashion for them out Of scraps OF iron
and brass pieces of money, or rather
tokens. which could be used az q circu-
lating medium.
The pieces consisted Of 40 and 45 cent
iron tokens and brass one dollar pieces.
The 40 cent pieces were about an inch In
diameter and the 45 cent pieces were
about the size of the present silver half
dollar. The one dollar pieces were oval
in shape, about an inch in thickness.
These pieces were stamped with the fig-
ures showing their value, and readily
passed current all over the country trib-
utary to the mill. Nearly all of this old
mill" coin has passed away, but a few
days ago William Hanson of the Tacoma
Mill company presented set of these
queer coins to the Ferry museum. In his
