ROCK CREEK BRIDGE.
Public Funds Cannot he Used for Its
Repair.


Judge Bowler, controller of the treasury,
has written a letter to the Commission
ers Of the District in regard to the repair
OF the bridge over Rock creek at Massa-
chCsetts avenue, In which he says:
i am in receipt Of your letter of the
18th instant inclosing communication
from Mr.. John w. Thompson, requesting
that the iron bridge crossing Rock creek
above Ma ssachusetts avenue be put in
proper repair. You ask whether you are
authorized to repair said bridge and pay
the expense thereof from the appropriation
Tor construction and repairs of bridges,
$lO,VO. contained in the District appropria- :
ton act of June il, 1896.
1t appears that the bridge was built
ny Mr.. Thompson and is his private prop
erty, never having been dedicated to the
District, although by his permission it
Consequently it Is within his power to pre-
vent The use thereof by the District au-
thorities and the. public at any time. He
might DO so Immediately after the proposed
repairs We're made although there is no
reason to believe that he would take such
action The mere, fact, however that 1t
Is Wlthln his power to exclude the District
authorltles. and the public indicates that
the public funds of the District cannot
properly be used to pay for the repairs on
the bridge. ~
clearly relates only to public bridges under
the control of the Commissioners of the
District. In the absence of a specific an
preparation authorizing the repair of this
private bridge payment of the cost of re-
pairs Is not authorized"

REAPPOINTING OLD OFFICIALS.
Exceptions to the Rule to BE Made
in Certain Cases.

The statement has been made that Presi-
dent Mckinley is going TO adopt the policy
inaugurated by Mr.. Cleveland of not an
pointing ex-officials to office The proposi-
ton has, however, been too broadly stated.
1t Is understood that a certain class of ex-
officials will probably be reappointed to DO
s1tions from which they were removed by
Mr. Cleveland or his secretaries.
A large number of employees in the de-
partments ranking above the classified
se:vtce-men of experience resulting from
long service and exceptional ftness-were
removed, and after their successors We're
appointed the civil service rules were ex-
Tended so as to take in the new appointees
Ihese off1cers are by this move taken out of
the class to which President Mckinley or
MS secretaries may make appointments at
Will, and the democratic appointees are sal
from outside competition The only men
who might succeed them without going
through the civil service commission mill
are those who formerly held the positions
Sucn OF these ex-offcials as were soldiers
may De reappointed to their old places. re-
sardless of the length of time they have
been out of office, and others who have nor
Deeh out more than year may be restored
The understanding is that those republican ms
ousiy capable officials and who were re-
moved to make room for democrats before
Inc ofnces were placed in the classified
service, will be restored, both for the i'm
proVement OF the service and as a nrotest
against what republicans regard as the
partisan scheme of the last admins, ra tion

THIRTY-Two TO ONE
Silver Ratio Proposed by the Japanese
Government.
Some Interesting Financial Informal
tion From Over the Pacific
On n Gold Basis.

The Secretary of the Treasury is in re-
ceipt of Information from the United States
minister at Toxic, Japan, to the effect that
dl ring the present session of the Japanese
diet government coinage bill will be pre-
sented for the consideration of that body,
which will, If passed, change the standard
of value in Japan from silver to gold. 1t is
proposed to AK the government ratio be-
tween the two metals at 80 to I. The unit
Of value will be gbld yen, which will be
one-half the weight and value of the old
japanese gold ven, which is of the same
weight and fneness as the gold dollar of
the United States. The proposed unit Of
value will therefore be the exact equivalent
Of 50 cents in United States money and ap-
pr proximately Of the same value as the pres
ent unit Of value in Japan, the silver yen,
which, at the current rate of exchange, is
worth about 81 cents in United States
money. 1t is proposed that the smallest
further coinage of silver viii be limited to
subsidiary coins. The silver yen now in
circulation will be maintained at par with
the gold yen by the government being
prepared to redeem them in gold when
ever called upon to do In this con-
nection the following statement is made at
the Treasury Department.:
1T Is imDortant to note that there are
1Doul one HuHQTGu ana 1Orty mlllOnS OF
Japanese silver yen in circulation, of which
1t Is estimated that about seventy millions
are IN circulation as money In China and
the English, French and other colonies and
settlements in the east. Should the ratio
between gold and silver become greater
than one to thirty-two the tendency would
seem to be to drive the outstanding silver
coin back to Japan for redemption The
Fernacular press reports considerable dis
satisfaction among the manufacture and
commercial classes with the proposed
change Of standard, and 1t Is reported that
the Cotton Spinners' Association have pre-
pared protest against 1t to present to the
dlet IhoSe interested in manufactures IN
Japan are at present very prosperous and
satisfied with the returns their investments
are bringing in They are naturally. as
class, not disposed to view favorably
proposed change, the effects of which, upon
their interests, they have no means of de-
termining beforehand. 1t is generally be-
heved, however. that the government bill
Will, in perhaps modified FORM become a
law. 1t is supposed that the principal OBJ
1ect OF the government In bringing about
the chanee is to enable it, should such a
measure become necessary or expedient to
negotiate loan in Europe on better terms
than would be possible, as they believe if
japan remained on Il silver basis
Ihe lpformation given above came to the
treasury Department Saturday. but the
Associated Press cable dispatches have
contained news later than that of the de-
partment and stated that the bill had pass
ed through both houses and been sent to
the emperor for approval"
