MIR. STEVENSON On BIMETALLISM.
He Regards the Matter as One Of
Great Importance.

Ex-Vice President Stevenson said yester-
about his appointment on the commission
for the promotion of an International
agreement: II appreciate the compliment
paid to me by the President, and Will
cheerfully render what assistance l can to
accomplish the object of the commission.
Il am b:metallist. I regard the res
toration of silver to its proper money func-
ton as the supreme question in our own
country and throughout the world. The
Importance of the question cannot be over
stated. In this country the increase in the
volume of business is beyond computation.
In the light of these facts the rehabili-
tation of silver is a prime necessity. Should
its decentralization become the settled pol
ICY the evil days upon which We have
fallen but dimly foreshadow consequences
yet to come.
Whatever our views may be as to the
ability of our government TO maintain the
free and unlimited coinage of silver with
out the corporation of the leading coun-
tries of Europe, IL may be safely assumed
that every friend of silver in our coun-
try will welcome International bimetallism-
'.As to the impossibility of success OF
this commission, II is known that the
trend of public sentiment in European
countries, well as our own, is undoubt-
edly fayorably to bimetalism.
Many of the publicists Of England and
Germany are i'm earnest accord with our
government upon this question. Should
public sentiment in those countries justify

doubtedly be called and action taken that

Extent of the Damage Not Yet Known
Here.
The Navy Department is informed that
the battle ship Oregon grounded while ap-
preaching the dry dock in Puget Sound a
few days ago. The vessel bent her frames
(or RIBS and bottom plating in the vicinity
of the forward turret. The extent of the
damage will be determined by thorough
investigation, which Secretary Long has
ordered to be made by Naval Constructor
Capps. who had been sent to Puget Sound
with a gang of men from the Mare Island
navy yard to scrape and paint the vessel.
His orders are to report the amount of
damage done and the estimated cost of A-
pair The Oregon had been in the water
for over year and had been waiting for
the spring tides to take to the dock. She
just been relieved from duty at the Mare
Island yard and was on his first voyage in
the Oregon. The Puget Sound dock is the
only one on the Pacific coast farge enough
to accommodate a ship Of the size of the
Oregon.
The opinion of naval officers from the in
formation at hand is that the damage to
some Of her frames be bent, that neces-
sarily will not require that they be repaired
at the dock. Should this be necessary,
however, 1t would require considerable
time. as mechanics would have to go there
from the Mare Island yard.
The Oregon is a irst-class battle ship,
built by the iron works of San Francisco,
CO., She is 34S feet long on her load water
line, 60 feet 8 inches extreme breadth, is of
10 22S tons displacement, and had q crew
of i73 officers and men.
