by the legal limitation of go days, he
felt unwilling to go on with the work
and have his right to act in the capac
ity as Minister of Finance be ques-
toned
The most important matter at hand
in the Finance Office is the signing Of
the commissions of the Tax Appeal
Board, and the Cabinet did not wish
the authority of the signer of the COM
missions to be questioned. In order
that all doubts might be set aside, a
meeting of the Cabinet was held yes
terday, and Theodore F. Lansing, of
the M. Phillips & Co., commissioned
as Minister. On Minister DamOn's re-
turn, Mr.. Lansing will probably retire
and Mr.. Damon will be offered the
portfolio.
Theodore F. Lansing, the new Minis
ter of Finance, was born in Saratoga,
New York As years ago, but lived his
boyhood days in Albany. When about
20 years old he left the East and took
up his home in the mining districts in
California for time and then center
ing in San Francisco.
Fourteen years ago he was rendered
a position as bookkeeper for the firm
in which he is now a member, the
proposition coming from Mr.. Phillips,
who then resided in San Francisco. Mr..
Schlesinger was manager at the time,
and continued so until 1898, when he
withdrew to make his home in Cali
fornia. Then Mr. Lansing was ap-
pointed manager, and two years later,
January 1; 1895, he was admitted to
partnership, and by his sterling bust
ness methods the firm ranks with the
best in the city.
Mr.. Lansing's connection with poll
tics in the Islands began with the over
throw of the monarchy. He was made
one of the Committee of Safety, in
whose hands were placed the task of
regulating the affairs of Government.
During the period of existence of the
Committee of Safety Mr.. Lansing
showed himself to be cool-headed and
competent to sit with his colleagues in
discussing grave matters of state.
When the Advisory Council was
| formed, Mr. Lansing declined to be-
come a member of it, as he has declined
| other offices under the Government,
owing to press of business, the only
exception being his membership in the
Board of Health, to which he was ap-
pointed in 1894.
! He was the organizer of the Pioneer
Building and Loan Association, and
was, for three years, its secretary and
| treasurer, during which period he
brought the association to a splendid
| financial standing. For the past two
| years he has filled the presidents chair
in the association. When the Healani
| Boat and Yacht Club was incorporated
Mr.. Lansing was promptly elected
president, and continues to take very
active interest in its affairs. Besides
his interest in the firm Of M. Phillips
e Co., he is largely interested in the
Olaa Coffee Company, which is now de-
veloping one Of the largest tracts of
| land in the coffee district of Olaa.
Mr.. Lansing is recognized as capa-
BILE man for the Office of Minister of
Finance He is conservative to a de-
gree in his business relations, and the
same methods which have character
| lied his conduct in the affairs of his
firm will be extended to the Finance
| Office

The Special Naval Board Has Plans For
Q Plant.
Washington. Nov. A.-JThe special
naval board appointed to examine into
the cost OF armor making has designed
a plan, the details Of which II will pre-
sent to congress. 1t will cost more than
S3,000000 and will have a capacity OF
5000 tons Of armor per annurn, which is
about the combined capacity Of the two
armor plants now supplying the navy.
The process of manufacture will in
clude the very latest developments in
the art of metallurgy, and while the
plans contemplate the manufacture Of
harveyized nickel steel armor accord
ing 10 the methods used In the reforged
process, they will admit OF easy adap-
tation to the new -cret Krupp process
Of hardening armor by the use Of gas.
The plans are said to be perfect in
every detail. and, being drawn under
one OF the leading experts OF the coun-
try, the specifications are said TO be
so well defined that no difficulty is ex-
pected to arise in securing straight
bids. The board has prepared the form
Of advertisement calling for bids for
erecting this plant, as congress desired
that information, and Secretary Long
will at once issue the advertisement II
IS the purpose to have all Of the plans
In the secretary's hands by the first OF
next month. and II the advertisement
is promptly sent out. II Is hoped that
within three months at the latest con-
gress will have before Il full informa-
tion as 10 the cost Of an armor plant
as well as offers from existing plants

During the time between the deposit
of the currency securities and the sub
stitution of bonds the circulation spe-
officially issued therefor is to be ex-
empt from taxation, and upon the sub
stitution OF bonds the funds released
are to be transferred to the issue and
redemption division. AS an additional
incentive TO the banks to deposit green
backs, treasury notes and silver certifi-
Gates, IL is proposed that when banks
have made such deposits to the amount
of so per cent of their capital they shall
be permitted TO issue additional notes
to the amount of rs per cent of such
deposits, this additional circulation to
be secured by the assets of the bank
and guaranteed by the government
The government is to be secured, in
turn, by a safety fund, TO be created by
a per cent tax on this additional cir
culation, to be invested in United States
bonds, and TO be further secured by a
first lien upon all assets In the case Of
the failure of a bank. 1t is proposed to
restrict the issue of national bank notes
to denominations of SO and upward
and to have all notes redeemed at the
