Congressman Beach Has n Unique scheme
for Congress to Consider.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 22.-Representa-
tive Beach Is the author of the resolu-
tion for uniform standard of value
in trade and commerce" for the west
ern hemisphere, China, Japan and the
Hawaiian islands. lie said yesterday:
I hope that an arrangement may be effected
for the holding OF a congress OF the nations on
this hemisphere, together with China, Japan
and the Hawaiian government, which will
agree upon uniform coin-either OF gold or OF
silver-to be used for the purpose OF inter-
national trade between the countries in
terestod Every one OF the govern-
ments interested In this congress has
soin OF its own As the coinage Of
metal is one OF the highest and most carefully
cherished prerogatives Of government, the
countries are apt to regard coins OF other ma
tions with some disfavor. This dsfavor. ] take
IL, is without reason for. where the gold or sill
soin OF one government has the same amount OF
Hneness as that Of another, there is no reason
why the coins should not circulate freely among
the peoples OF nations operating under an in
ternational agreement at their commercial
value and without discrimination. by the ar
rangement now existing we are compelled TO do
business with the countries OF this hemisphere
and with Japan and China through the medium
u London exchange. The use OF this exchange
Is cumbersome and inconvenient. and often in
wolves months OF time in the settlement Of OBJ
legations between the countries

The Cyclopean walls of Baalbec wers
defensive works built OF stones so great
In size that even the most elaborate en-
cheering appliances Of the present day
would be taxed TO transport them.
Some of these stones are so feet long by
10 to 12 thick, and Of unknown width.
The walls Of Babylon were made OF
sun-dried brick. They are said 20 have
been 300 feet high, and'wide enough at
the top for from three TO five chariots to
drive abreast. The material. however,
was 80 friable that of these gigantic
structures not trace now remains.
The walls Of the castles built in Eng
land by William the Conqueror were of
remarkable thickness. The castle OF
Hastings and the keep or round tower
Of Windsor have walls upward of 30 feet
in thickness. Such fertilization was
impregnable against all forms of at
tack then in use.

and Tor the last ten years it has been
about s26, 900, 600 annually. The reduc-
ton is due to the impossibility of pay
ment. The deficit has recently aver
nged nearly S4,5oo,0oo year The debt
of Cuba has consequently piled up. At
