Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 20.-The II
members of the monetary commission
have now been appointed and the com
mission will soon begin the work for
which it was selected. The commission
has been carefully distributed among
the. different lines of business, and geo.
graphical representation has been a
promine nt factor in the selection of the
members. Three members are from the
east, two from the south, one from the
Pacific. coast, one from the northwest,
one from the southwest, and one from
the central west. Senator Edmunds
was selected as being representative OF
the country at large. The political
views of the men chosen were nottcon-
sidered, but it so happens that the
members are very evenly divided, six
being republicans and five democrats.
The commission has been called to
meet at the Arlington hotel in Wash
ington5 on September g.. The meeting
to also include the executive commit
tee. They expect to begin work at
once, and to 60 thoroughly into the
question Of currency. The executive
committee will have before them data
Of all kinds, from all parts of the world,
and will also bring before them ex-
perts on finance and currency, as well
as the opinions of the general public.
They request people generally who
have suggestions or views on these
questions to submit the same, and. all
such matter mailed to the Monetary
Commission" at Washington will re-
ceive careful consideration.

!. BATTLE iI1 llNnfA.


British lnAiet Heavy Loss on the
55st $s !!ssss Enslaly at AnAyet. I.
Bombay. Sept. 20. Advices from the
front show that the various columns
are advancing against the Mahmoukis
from Panjkora and Shabkadr. AS yet
they have met with no-serious oppose
ton, but the difficulties OF Transports
ton in mountainous and almost path
less country are immense. Another
formidable obstacle in the way OF rapid
movement is the lack Of water. The
brigade Of Gen. Jeffreys has not joined
in the advance. Saturday it left camp
at Anayet, with 16 companies of in
fantry and four guns, in order to re-
attack the enemy. at the village at Da-
motagoa. The enemy made desperate
resistance, but were driven out into the
hills. The British demolished the tow
ers and captured 400 mule loads of sup
plies. AS soon as the troops began to
retire from the village the enemy re-
appeared in force. The refinement,
however, was effected with great pre-
cision, the native troops behaving
splendidly. Two Sikhs were killed and
six wounded. s%, ~
It is now known that the enemy's loss
during the fight on Tuesday last be-
tween the Mohmands and the Second
brigade of Gen. Sir Bindon Blood, in the
valley north Of Anayet, was very heavy.
Lieut.. Watson was thrice wounded
while gallantly leading handful Of
bluffs, who routed a large body of the
enemy that was trying to storm the vii
lage, in which Gen. j ehreys, with guns,
had taken up position after missing
his main body in the gloom Thursday
night. >> 's@>-3-.
1t appears that the enemy lost 100
men before they captured the Saragai
police post. They burned alive two
Sikh cooks whom they captured while
out hunting. @8 q 2Ss@ -

BOLlvIA'S RUBBER TREE LAW.

CT North, South, or Central America.
Article I. declares that all rubber trees
which may grow in forests or unclaimed
land are the property of the govern
sment. The right to explore the publ:
forests for rubber trees is limited, by
article H., to all natives or foreigners.
Nc previous license is required, and
such explorations may be made by any
number of persons at the same time"
A person residing for five years in q
community in Bolivia is considered the
proprietor of the land, provided '*thearea
of theland does not exceed IS hectares"
All persons or companies to whom ex-
pioration privileges are granted shall
pay Is bolivianos for each estrada, and
the payments arc to be made on install
ments "of one boliviano year." At the
expiration of that period presumably
the period of Year, 'the grantees have
absolute right to the ownership Of the
land without taxation, and also the
right to rs hectares for every hundred
cstradas which they had previously re-
ceived." To enjoy this right the grantee
must prove that he has paid all install.
ments, but those who, 'either by dona-
ton, purchase, Permium, or by contract
with the government, acquire posses
sion of public lands" are obliged, under
article XII, to pay $50 bolivianos for the
rubber trees standing on the land.
A petitioner for such grants must ap-
pear before the national delegates in
''the regions in which they exercise
their jurisdiction" He must state his
name, domicile and profession, title
which he intends to give to the portion
of the forest land claimed, the area and
boundaries of it and 1.-The names of his
nearest neighbors." The petitioner is
also to present map of the ground.
The notary Of the treasury, as the re-
cording officer is called in Bolivia, flea
the application and directs the pubica-
ton of the petition in the newspapers
Of the neighborhood three times conse-
cutively every 20 days. At the end OF
60 days the petitioner, if unopposed by
his neighbors and others, gets decree
to the land, provided the verification OF
the territory is witnessed and approved
by two experts, one appointed by the
petitioner and the other appointed by
government. The fees and travelling ex-
penses of the experts, their sustenance
and entertainment are paid for by the {
petitioner. When all these formalities
are attended to, the petitioner, under
article XXI, must immediately take
possession and go to work, for if three
months elapse before he does SO (unless
through some impeachment or insuper-
able obstacle) he shall forfeit all claims
and rights which he has secured
He must also etipulate as
condition Of occupancy TO per
NIT the free Introduction Of groc-
cries into the community where he re-
sides-groceries, with the exception Of
liquors. The fine for violation of this
provision is from so to 200 bolivianos,
and, altogether, it would seem good
deal as il the prospector for rubber
trees in Bolivia should be well supplied
with bolivianos to meet the various
contingencies arising under the laws of
that South American republic as en-
forced by the local oficials.--N. 7. Sun.
