CURRENCY COMMISSION MESSAGE.
President Commends the Plans of
the indianapolis Convention.

Washington, July 25.-The presidents
message to congress reads:
To the Congress of the United States.
in my message converting congress in eN
traordinaIy session | called attention to
a single subject, that of providing for rev
enue adequate to meet the reasonable
and proper expenses of the governmnt. IL
seemed to be the most pressing subject
for settlement then. A bill to provide the
necessary revenues for the government
has already passed the house of represen-
tatives and the senate and awaits eXecu-
tive action. Another question of import
ance is that of the establishment of our
currency and banking system upon bet
ter basis, which l commented upon in my
inaugural address in the following
words:
"Our financial system needs revision,
our money is all good, but its value must
not be further threatened. IT should MI
be put upon an enduring basis, not sub
iect to easy attack The forms of our
paper money offer, in my judgment,
constant embarrassment to the govern
ment and imperils a safe balance i'll the
treasury. Nothing was settled more
clearly at the late election than the de-
termination upon the part of the people
to keep their currency stable in value
and equal to the most advanced nations
of the world. The soundness of our cur
rency is nowhere questioned. No loss can
occur to its holders. The system should
be simplified and strengthened by keep
ing our money just as good as it is now,
with less expense to the government and
the people"
The sentiment of the country is strong
ly in favor of early action by congress III
this direction to revise our currency
laws and remove them from partisan con
tention. A notable assembly of business
men with delegates from 20 states AMI
territories was held at indianapolis in
January of this year. The financial sit
uation commanded their earnest atten-
ton, and after two days discussion the
convention recommended to congress the
appointment of a monetary commission

ton of congress. The authors of the re
port recommend commission to make Z

Gold PIacers I'm Mexican state Said
To Rival Those of the kion-
dixie In Richness.

Washington, July 2S.-The president
and Secretary Alger have decided to de-
tail an army officer and company or
soldiers from the regular army for ser
vice in Alaska. The matter is yet i'll
very indefinite shape, but details will be
arranged as soon as possible in order that
the soldiers may get into the vicinity OF
the gold country before navigation closes
ON the Yukon river.
They will be sent to their destination
via the Yukon river route, and the offer
of one of the shipping companies on the
Pacific coast to transport them and their
baggage and stores will probably be ac-
cepted.
The exact location of the camp or post
has not yet been determined on, but it
is expected to be at Circle City. An army
officer now in the field and who has had
experience in such matters, has been in
vited to take charge of the company, and
an answer is expected from him soon.
The detail of men who will go will be
made from one of the posts in the west,
but just when is not yet fully settled on

tory have requested that a company of

HARVEST is TWO WEEKS LATE.
whitman County One Vast, Waving
Wheat Field.

Garfield, July 2S.-Whitman county is
one vast. waving wheat field, and all, or
nearly all of the grain is in a perfect con-
dition. The feelings ct the people herr
have passed beyond the point where r:.us
would be properly described as pleased
or highly gratifed.' Farmers who have
for several years raised wheat at a loss
and have been hanssed by creditors, all
the while adding to instead of reducing
their obligations, are elated at the pros
pect of getting out of debt. 1t Is prob
able that many will market from $4,000
to $4,000 worth of wheat from a quarter
section of land. The harvest is about two
weeks later than usual, only few fields
being ready to cut now. 1t is thought
that it will be a month before the bulk
of the crop will be ready to head, but the
binders can be at work much earlier.
Harvesting will be FASTENED so that the
latest of the crop may escape the frost.
For laborers the dependence is upon the
migratory host, who begin at Walla
Walla and Pendleton, and follow the
ripening grain north and east until they
strike the foothills.

relations and aspects and to make proper
suggestions for any evils found to exist
and the remedies therefor. This subject
should have been called to the attention
of congress at the special session IT
ought not to be postponed till the regular
session. | therefore urge and recommend
that a special commission be created,
non partisan in its character, to be COM
posed of well informed citizens of differ
ent parties who will command the con-
fidenee of congress because of their spc-
cial fitness for the work, whose duty it
shall be to make recommendations OF
whatever changes in our present banking
and currency laws that may be found
necessary and eXpcdient, and to report
their conclusions on or before the last
day of November next in order that
same may be transmitted by me to con-
gress for its consideration at its first reg
ular session. 1t is to be hoped that the
report will be so comprehensive and sound
as to receive the support of all parties
and the favorable action of congress. a!

be of value to the executive branch of the
government as well 'as to those charge,

in the establishment of an improved sys

st. Louis, July 2s.-One hundred
marching strikers who are operating I'M
