CURRENCY RECONSTRUCTION.
Grave Doubts Expressed About th.
Wisdom of Agitation,


Wisdom of Agitation.
Grave doubts are entertained by persons
familiar with the legislative situation of
the wisdom OF the banking association ad-
vocating federal currency commission
and laying great stress Of Importance upon
currency legislation by the present Con-
gress. Though the House. in response to
President McKinley's request, passed the
currency commission bill just before the
close of the extra session. there was very
little sentiment in favor of the proposition
in that body, and it is doubted whether
the bill could have been passed had it not
been known in advance that the Senate
would not approve it. 1t is regarded even
by many of the leaders who consented to
the passage of the measure as unwise, and
there is practically no disposition to agi-
tate the question when Congress convenes
again. 1t is absolutely certain that the
Senate Will not pass a measure, and II is
regarded as foolish to continue the discus
sion.
AS far as general currency legislation is
concerned, 1t Is known to every man of OK
perience in Congress- from the Speaker
down, that 1t will be impossible to secure
action by the Senate on any proposition
which would have the approval of the
House. Even among the republicans in
both houses of Congress there is a division
Of sentiment on the question of the retire
ment of the greenbacks, and the belief is
general that in the face of the present
situation, the development of prosperity
the livening of business and the strong
feeling OF confidence which is being reyi yed
among financiers and business men should
not be disturbed by an agitation of the cur
rency question when it is known that moth
irg can be accomplished.

GETTING READY FOR TRIAL.

District Will Have Special Counsel
i'm Street Extension Cases.
The Commissioners are making prepara-
tions to try the highway extension cases.
Special counsel will be employed to rep
these cases, as the attorney for the Dis
trict ard his assistants have not the time
to give to them. In the proceedings here
tofore, Mr.. A. 8. Worthington has repre-
sented the District, but he declines to con-
tinue unless Congress shall appropriate
the money already due him as counsel
fees. There is any amount of good ma
terial to he had, but the Commissioners
are handicapped by lack of funds to pay
them
The highway extension act contemplates
the trial of the cases by a judge with a
jury. 1t is important that the cases be
tried as soon as possible There are forty
seven subdivisions embraced within the
first section, each subdivision being re-
Dennison and Leighton, has been partially
disposed of.
In his interview with Commissioner Ross
this morning Attorney Thomas pointed
out that it took a week to try that case
alone.
There are, he says, in a letter to Commits
sioner Ross upon the subject, about 100
parcels of property improved and unim-
proved, in this subdivision represented by
perhaps sixty owners, while the Meridian
Hill subdivision contains about 400 parcels
represented by about $50 owners.
He says, further, he Thinks the special
attorney appointed by the Commissioners
should have an assistant, not necessarily a
lawyer, but preferably real estate expert

Spain and United States to Agree
Upon Commission.
PRECEDENT ESTABLISHED IN 1871
Object of CaIderon CarIisle's Trip
Abroad.
GEN. .WOODFORD'S INTENTIONS

convention Is to be agreed upon be-
tween Spain and the United States for the
settlement of all claims on account of the
wrongs and injuries committed in the Is
land of Cuba. The result of this conven-
tion is expected to be the appointment of
a claims commission similar to that ap-
pointed in 1871 which settled the claims of
citizens of both countries after the in
surrection of that time. 1t can be stated
that, although numerous claims of Ameri-
can citizens against the government of
Spain for injuries done their persons and
property in the Island of Cuba during the
present revolution have been filed with the
State Department, no formal presentation
of these claims has been made to the Span
ish government by the Secretary of State
although, soon as these claims have
been filed at the State Department a
notice of such filing has been presented to
the foreign office at Madrid. 1t is doubtful
under the present circumstances whether
If any formal presentation of the claims
were made at this time, Spain would recog-
nize it, The administration is. therefore
resolved TO follow the precedent in this
matter, and to await the cessation of hos
ulities, and meanwhile to negotiate a
treaty or convention for the appointment
of claims commission.
General WocdforG. in his instructions,
vas directe to negotiate such conven-
tloH dS Was arranged by General SickleS
with the Spanish government in 1871.
The trip of MIR. Calderon Carlisle of
Washington, who is the legal advisor of
the Spanish legation in this city, was for
the same purpose. In recent dispatches
from London it was announced that Mr.
Carlisle would present to this government
counter claims for damages to Spanish
citizens in Cuba. Mr.. Carlisle is really
oEly preparing the cases for the Spanish
government and smoothing the way for
the negotiations of convention.
The treaty of 1871 was negotiated at
Madrid February IL between Gen. Daniel
E Sickles and Minister Cristino Martos
then the Spanish minister of state The
convention agreed that all claims of cit
lzenS OF both countries should be submit
ted to arbitrators. one to be appointed by
the Secretary of State of the United States,
another by the Spanish minister at Wash
irgton. and these two to name an umpire.
The claims commission was to meet IN
Washington, and hear the cases as pre-
sented by an advocate appointed by each
government. The two governments bound
themselves to accept the awards made by
this commission, and it will be remember
ed that in 1882 the claims commission was
extended to January 1, 1883, when they
finished their work.
1t is the idea of this administration to
follow closely this precedent, and it is un-
derstood that the Spanish legation here
agrees with the State Department in this
matter, ard sent its legal representative
to Spain, as stated, 10 prepare for the
coming of the new United States minister.

CHICAGO, August 21.-People who go to
Washington Park this afternoon are likely
to see the greatest pacing race ever wit
messed in the world. From all indications
the two great PAGERS will be at their best.
for they are both seasoned, and, as near as
human knowledge can tell, are on a feather
edge.
The owners Of Star Pointer and Joe Pat
chen express themselves as satisfied with
the condition of their horses and both are
confident of winning. The owner of Star
Pointer said that If his horse was beaten
today he expected to see the timers hang
out the two-minute sign for the first time
in the history of harness horse racing The
owner of Patchen said it would not sur
prise him to see the two-minute mark
reached. under favorable conditions of
track and weather.
outside of the respective stables Of the
pacing champions, the opinion prevails

ceded that Patchen will win one heat.
Star Pointer has already beaten Joe Pat
chen twice and lost to him once. Both are
thought to be better than ever before and
they are so nearly equal that a mere trifie
will decide the ownership of the $4,000
purse, one way or the other. A few pools

one.

INTEREST IN AN OPINION.
Decision in Electric Light COntrO-
vesy Regarded as Important.

Considerable interest is being manifest I'd
in the forthcoming opinion of the attorney
fog the District upon the application of
the United States Electric Lighting Com
paEy to extend its service conduit out 9th
street.
The company claims the right under the
law to extend its conduits to the outlying
subdivisions. and in the brief of Attorney
Redilgton 1t is claimed the Commissioners
have no discretion in the matter of streets
to be occupied by the conduits, their duty
being TO approve the application.
On the other hand, the Potomac COM
pany through its attorney, j. j. Darling
ton, contends that there is no good reason
why the company should desire to go out
9th street, as that thoroughfare is already
amply supplied with electric light conduits.
and that while Congress gave the United
States company permission to extend it's
line to the suburbs. it gave the Commits
sioners the discretionary power as to the
route to be followed
The settlement of this case means con-
siderable TO the Potomac Company. If
the United States Company is permitted to
parallel its conduit on 9th street. it vir-
tCally means that the latter will underbii
the Potomac Company and take away from
ii the contract for District lighting on that
street

ACKNOWLEDGED BY MR.. HOsHI.
Secretary Sherman's Reply ON the
Hawaiian Question.

Secretary Sherman has received from
Minister Hoshi of Japan prompt acknowl-
edgment CT the Secretarys letter of las.
Saturday relating to the annexation of
Hawaii to the United States. Mr.. Hoshi's
acknowledgment is formal, and does not
go into the merits of the subject, as the
answer to Secretary Sherman's last note
will not he made until word comes from
the japanese foreign Office. The Star has
contained all Of the features of Secretary
Sherman's note. with one exception, name
ly, Japan's prior note referring incidentally
to reports that a majority of the inhab-
itants of Hawaii did not favor annexation.
Mr.. Sherman's answer takes issue with
this statement, and urges at some length
that the preponderance of influence in Ha-
wall is favorable to the annexation of the
island to the United States. Aside from
this, and the approval expressed in the plan
OF arbitration between Japan and Hawaii
on the immigration question, the Sherman
Eote is an enlarged argument of Mr.. Sher-
mans former letter stating the attitude of
the United States favorable to annexation.
