The "ISO1" Dollars.

An Associated Press despatch from
Montana announced last Friday that an
1904 dollar had been found in that state,
that there were only four coins of this is
sue, and that the dollar if genuine would
bring $4,000 to $4,000. Practically all the
statements in the despatch were incorrect,
and it may be pertinent to remark here
that such remarkable findings are of pc
rodical occurrence.
A very interesting article on the 1904
dollar appeared in the Numismatic Quar-
terly of January, 1895. 1t was written by
Rev. w. II. Collins of 'Brattleboro, an en-
thusiastic collector of coins. Mr.. Collins
states in this article that the whole num-
Der of 1904 dollars coined was 1880, ac-
cording to the reports of the United States
mint. The disappearance of the bulk of
this issue has always been a mystery to
numismatists. OF the 1907 dollars only
777G were coined, with three types and
seven varieties, but they are not consid-
cred rare, while nearly three times their
number were coined in 1904 and yet only

existence. An old bank cashier at Salem
Mass, at one time the most extensive tea
importing place on the continent, claimed
that the scarcity of the 1904 dollar was
owing to the sinking of a China-bound
vessel, having on board almost the entire
mintage of 1904 dollars, shipped in lieu of
| the Spanish milled dollars" and intrin-
sically more valuable. Owing to the fis-
cal year ending in midsummer it is claimed
by some that the report entered on the
register of the mint of 1906 included the
mintage of dollars of the months of 1904,
subsequent TO the fiscal report and entry
of that year.
One piece brought at auction $3.50, but
$1,000 and $500 have been offered with no
takers, and it would be safe to offer $1,000,
as all of the originals are believed to be in
the hands of collectors, who hold them
above price. There are however many
counterfeits, and altered dates. An 1901
dollar, with the final figure altered into a
four, looks like veritable 1904 dollar.
Mr.. Collins, in his article, sounds this
warning, and relates an incident in which
the late Oscar Marshall of Brattleboro fig
ured: 'If an opportunity should be Of
fered any one of buying an 1904 dollar, it
would not be well to do so, unless one
could be assured by indisputable proofs,
first of its genuineness, and second of its
pedigree, as traced from owner to owner.
A few years since, friend of the writer
who was also a collector of rare and Gu
riOus coins, while travelling in the West
was shown what seemed to him a genuine
specimen of the 1904 dollar. He was so
much impressed with the fact that it must
be one of the II now held by collectors,
that he was on the point of buying it, even
for large sum, when it occurred to him
to show it to a specialist, who at once pro-
nounced it a counterfeit, and thus saved
him from future disappointment, and the
| loss of his money"

The Execution OF Col. Ruiz.

The Cubans have stained their cause by
the cruel execution of Col. Ruiz of the
Spanish army. There are several reports
of the affair, some stating that Ruiz went
to the Cuban army to meet Col. Aranguen
with the intention of bribing him to de-
sert the Cuban forces. The most credible
story, however, is the one brought to Ha-
vana by Ernesto Tosca, an attache of the
American legation, who was sent into the
Cuban ranks by Consul General Lee to
plead for mercy for Ruiz. Tosca did not
arrive at the Cuban headquarters until af-
ter Ruiz was executed. Tosca's report is
that Ruiz went to the Cuban fields openly,
dressed in full military uniform, and
made before the Cuban army propositions
to Col. Aranguen of autonomy for Cuba.
Col. Aranguen made Ruiz a prisoner, and
he was executed after a court martial
One despatch said he was hacked to pieces
with machetes without trial. This atroci-
ty will tend to weaken Cuban sympathy in
this country, as it shows the Cubans to be
as bloodthirsty as the Spaniards.
Some writers have attempted to lind
parallel between the execution of Col
Ruiz and the hanging of Major Andre in
the Revolutionary war. Such comparisons
are insulting to the memory of American
patriots. Ruiz went openly to the Cuban
army as messenger of peace, to consult
with his personal friend, man true to the
Cuban cause His actions were honorable
and praiseworthy in every way. Andre
negotiated secretly with the traitor, Bene-
dict Arnold, who schemed to turn over to
the British an important military post in
return for a large money consideration and
military preferment in the British army.
Andre was captured while returning from
his consultation with Arnold, and the
papers found on his person showed him to
be a spy.

The President sent to the Senate last
Thursday the nomination of Joseph Nc
Kenna of California, the present attorney
general, to be an associate justice of the
United States supreme court. The ap-
pointment was referred to the judiciary
committee, however, and will not be acted
upon until after Congress reconvenes in
January. The nomination of Charles G.
Dawes of Illinois, to be comptroller of the
currency, was confirmed promptly by the
Senate. Mr.. Eckels, the retiring comp
troller, who is very young man but who
has won national fame by his administra-
ton of his office, will 60 to Chicago as the
president of one of the large National
banks at a salary of $4,000 year. Ev-
eryOne was surprised when Grover Cleve-
land nominated Mr. Eckels to the important
office of comptroller of the currency, but a
story has been recently told on good author
ity to the effect that Mr. Eckelss selection
was due to a slip of the pen, and that the
office for which Mr.. Cleveland had slated
him was that of comptroller of the treas
ury department. Chas. G. Dawes is a son
of Gen, R. r. Dawes of Marietta, Ohio,
an eX-Congressman. Young Dawes is on
ly 32 years old. He worked as a civil en-
gineer during the vacations of his college
and law school courses, He practiced law
in Lincoln, Neb., seven years, and has
been connected with gas companies in Hi
nois, Wisconsin and Akron in recent years.
He was the Illinois member of the execu-
tive committee of the Republican national
committee in the last campaign and head
ed the movement which swung Illinois
away from Cullom and in line for McKin-
ley in the st. Louis convention.

Emperor wlllIam's Large Contract.

Emperor William of Germany is prob
ably not responsible for all the wild rumors
set afloat regarding his intentions, though
it must be admitted they would receive no
credence but for his own wild and threat
ening talk. 1t is incredible however,
that even the War Lord of Germany would
contemplate warfare with Christendom.
Among the various projects with which he
is now credited is war with China, involv-
ing Great Britain and Russia, the seizure
of Norway and Sweden to settle a family
dispute, the destruction of the Monroe
doctrine resulting from the conquest of
Argentina, the seizure of Hawaii and war
with the United States in conjunction with
Spain. The Haytian affair it is explained,
was only "feeler' to test the temper of
the United States. AS we did not show
fight, 1t is assumed that we need much
greater provocation, and that, the war
having been inaugurated, this country will
be at the mercy of the navies of Spain and
Germany.
1t is explained that Prince Henry's feet
has been sent to the Pacific to inaugurate
hostiities against this country, and that
his first move will be to seize Samoa and
Hawaii For this he might properly re-
ceive the thanks of the American nation,
as it would save us from the setting up of
a rotten borough system far out in the Pa
ci6c ocean. But the purpose of the seiz-
ure is to inaugurate a war, which is to end
in the conquest of America by the German
nation, and to this end Argentina has been
settled by Germans, acting as the agents of
the Kaiser, who has also tens of thous-
ands of emissaries in this country.
This, at least, is the way the story goes.
The rumors would be considered wholly
idle and unworthy even of mention we're it
not for the erratic character of the Kaiser,
who seems to be capable of concocting
such visionary ideas, and may be mad
enough some day to undertake their reali-
zation.

senator Morrnrs Position as to Hawaii
From the Burlington Free Press.l

liAoih thS burlington rIcc IIcss.I
The Springfield Republican quotes SEN
ator MoIrilps remarks to a friend that if
Oregon or Washington would accept
Hawaii as a county, he might favor the
taking of it; but never as a territory and
says;
at was proposed years ago that Hawaii
be made a county of California, but the
idea was soon abandoned as impracticable.
The Vermont senator might as we'll have
declared unqualihedly against annexation
as to have named such condition. Ha-
wall would require something besides
county government"
The Vermont senator of course perfect
ly understands that. His remark amount
ed TO an unqualified declaration, the con-
dition being obviously impossible. The
idea in his mind evidently was that it was
folly to annex to the national domain
some islands which no state would accept
as an addition to its territory.

At the Cabinet meeting at Washington
Tuesday the operations of the civil service
law were discussed. The principle of the
system, in the opinion of all, must be
maintained, but there was some difference
of opinion as to the extent of its applica-
tion. No effort was made to adopt reply
to the Senate resolution that would en-
body uniform expressions of opinion. 1t
is likely each member of the Cabinet will
prepare his reply in his own way, but they
will be well within a definite scheme, to be
outlined later.

& Congress adjourned last Saturday for the
holiday recess, which will extend to JAN
5. An agreement was reached on the
Klondike relief bill and it was passed.
The bill compromises the amount of the
relief at 100000, provides for securing
the consent of Canada to extending the
relief to the Canadian side, and authorizes
the use of the army to carry out the relief
measures. The work of securing and for
warding the supplies will be pushed with
all the speed possible. 1t will be several
weeks at the best before they can be
landed and made available for the starving

Definite action in the Senate on the
movement to break down the civil-service
law took the form, before adjournment, of
the adoption of resolution calling on the
heads of the several executive departments
for information as to what positions in
their departments ought, in their opinion,
to be excepted from the operation of the
civil service law, and what changes in the
law ought to be made. Vermont senators
and representatives know, without being
told, that the people of this state believe
in Strengthening and upholding the law,
and in its impartial enforcement.
