TARY COMMISSION NOW IN
WASHINGTON.
AN INFORMAL DISCUSSION.
WORK TO BE ENTRUSTED TO A
NUMBER OF SUBCOM-
MITTEES.
sfR.. EDWARDS OUTLINES A PLAN.
The First Effort Will Be to Discover
just Where the Screw Is
Loose.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2S-Ex-Sena-
tor Edmunds, president of the none
tary commission, which is in session
here, said today concerning the scope
and purpose of the commission: 'The
commission is composed of gentlemen
residing in all the different sections of
the country. They were not selected
to represent, nor do they represent, any
special interest to be promoted by
whatever they may think it wise to
do, but rather to contribute from the
principal callings of industry, COM
merce and finance of the United States
such information as would be likely to
aid in reaching just conclusions, and in
suggesting measures that should be
beneficial, equally to the whole body
of the people of the country.
Naturally and necessarily it may he
supposed that no particular plans OF
changes in the laws would at present
either be agreed upon or even propos-
ed, but rather that the first iabors of
the commission would be devoted to
ascertaining the existing condition of
things, as affecting all interests Of the
people, and what evils or dangers now
exist. The people of the whole country
may feel sure that the commission will
do nothing, and recommend nothing,
that is intended to advance any inter
est or class at the expense of any other,
whatever may be the public opinion in
respect of the wisdom of what the COM
mission may finally suggest should be
DONE
The commission resumed it's session
here today, with ex-Secretary Ed
munds presiding. W. B. Dean, of St
Paul, arrived last night, making nine
of the eleven commissioners present,
Messrs. Edmunds, Leighton, Fairfield,
Patterson, Rush, Fries, Dean, Taylor
and Laughlin. At this mornings SEES
sion a general discussion occurred OH
the plans to be adopted. Thus far the
commission has not taken up the Sc
rious work before it, but has mapped
out the preliminary organization. The
general subject of finance will be dl-
vided under several leading heads,
each being committed to a subcom-
mittee. These heads have not been
fixed thus far, and, until they are, the
subcommittee will not be named
Several of the members addressed the
commission today on financial topics.
These discussions will be private, as
they are mainly for the purpose of
bringing out every phase of the none
tary question.
The commission held another SEES
sion tonight, but nothing definite was
accomplished. Vice Chairman Leigh
ton presided in the absence of Presi-
dent Edmunds, who went to Philadel-
phia this afternoon, expecting to re-
turn tomorrow or Monday The time
tonight was occupied in discussing tho
general scope of the work to be under
taken, and in endeavoring to reach an
understanding as to the work to be
assigned the general committee Mr.
Root, the financial expert appointed
one of the collating secretaries, has
signiGed his acceptance of the posi-
tion.

1t is today as well admitted and ac-
krowledged as if it were written in the
law of nations that in the affairs of
this continent, we stand supreme and
unassailed It is a glorious position
for the United States, and we may
we'll be proud of it. The moral which
we wish to draw is that it is posi-
ton supported, not by bayonets or men
of-war or cruisers or Krupp guns, but
by the dignity, power and manifest
destiny of the United States of Amer
lea. 1t is the full warrant that this
nation can never find itself engaged in
a foreign war, unless it should pass
into the other hemisphere with
scheme of aggression and conquest.
That fact negatives the assumption
that we have to keep a naval estab-
lishment on the same footing as those
Of the European peoples, who are con-
stantly expecting possible outbreaks of
hostilities
A good navy we need, and we have
it. An enormous naval establishment,
with millions spent every year in the
building of new ships Of war and tens
of millions added to the cost Of its
maintenance, is one of the appanages
of monarchy; and, for us, a reckless
and criminal expenditure of the peo-
pies money The moral forces of the
nation have wrought for it it's pre-
eminence 1t is securer against any
possible attack from the outside today
than it could be made by the increase
of it's navy to proportions equal to
those of all the other navies Of the
world combined.

COLOR LINE DRAWN
By the Board of Education in The
City of Alton.


ALTON, ILL.,, Sept 23.-The fight be-
tween the board of education and the
negro citizens of Alton, over the sep
aration of the white children from the
black, is growing more and more
strained. The attendance at the Doug
lass and Lovejoy schools, the two
buildings set apart for the colored chill :.
dren by the board of education, has
been very small, and, on the other
hand, the old buildings are overcrowd
ed on account of the colored residents
insisting on their children attending
the same schools as the whites. Supt.
r. M. Haight has given instructions
that the negroes shall be admitted, but
that no recitations shall be heard I'M
til they go to their own buildings. They
are allowed to remain in the school
rooms, but only as visitors. There
has been nc serious trouble, but several
of the school buildings were surround
ed by colored men and women, who
were there to see that their children
received proper recognition.
The members of the board are firm.
in the stand they have taken, and state
that no negro pupils will be recognized
or allowed to recite a lesson until they
are in the proper building. The stand
they have taken is that the city of
Alton has been put into one large
ScnoOl ulSlTlcl, anu lLey, Win the SUI
perintendent, have the right to assign
pupils to any school they think de-
sirable. They say they are willing.
if need be, to have the matter tested
before the courts. On the other hand,
the colored residents oppose the sep
arate school plan and are no less en-
phatic in the stand they have taken,
and say they propose to fight the case
to the end Public meetings have been
held and a large sum of money has
been raised. They claim the scheme
to separate the children is an Illegal
one.

GYROsCoPE TORPEDO.
Experiments With the Device of an
Austrian Inventor.

WASHINGTON, Sept 23.-The naval ord
nance bureau has been securing some remark
able results from certain experiments it has
been making by direction of Acting Secretary
Roosevelt with an attachment OF torpedoes,
the invention of an Austrian named Obrey.
This is kind of gyroscope, and the reports
from torpedo stations where the tests have
been made and are to be continued show that
it has the property, having been once direct
ed at the object to be hit, of actually restor-
ing the torpedo to which it is attached to a
straight course towards that object, even after
it has been DETECTED. The addition of this
torpedo almost weapon of precision

OUR COMING FINANCIAL sUPREM-

The announcement that gold imports
from England to the United States
have begun is the first note of a move
ment that is likely to assume large
proportions, and TO continue during the
balance Of the present year. The, enor-
stuffs that have been made for foreign
account have turned US. for the time
being, from a so-called debtor to a 50
called creditor nation. Europe owes Us
a huge sum, which she has to pay. a
part of the debt has been discharged,
no doubt, by the return of American
securities and their sale in the Amer
lean market, which is a splendid thing
for us. This resource, however, is about
exhausted Our national bonds are so
desirable, and the bonds of our railway
and other industrial enterprises have
so enhanced in value, that foreign
holders are no longer anxious to get rid
of them. In the years of depression,
which have also been years of unprec-
edented saving and accumulation, we
have grown rich ourselves at rate
which there is nothing in the COM
mercial reports to indicate. The in
crease of the reserves in all our great
money centers shows it. The United
States is becoming the greatest CAPT
taIist of the world and, as such, is
about to exercise the capitalists power.
Where a short time ago we were trem-
bling at every draft Of Europe upon
our stock of gold, it is we who are now
in a position to make drafts for our
treasury, and Europe must honor them.
We say unhesitatingly that, were it
not for the existence in this country of
the legal tender notes, offering to the
European governments,at any time they
NAV wish to foot the expense, a ready
means of depicting our gold stock and
reversing the direction of flow of the
yellow metal, our position as financial
ruler of the world would be assured for
all time to come. In any event, that is

opposed such method of taxation on three

our destiny. London, which has SO
commercial center of the civilized
world is bound to yield to New York.
1t is in our own metropolis that hence
forth the commercial and financial bus
mess of the aearth will be conferred,

disposition on the part of the Bank of
England TO Media point with refer
perception of the new condition. 1t is
England that will presently be concern
ed about it's gold reserve, and anxious
to prevent it's departure to the United
States.
1t would be a strange, but by no
means impossible, illustration of the
wonders wrought by the whirligig of
time if a few years should find the ma
lions of Europe, tasilarge and increasing
debtors of the United States, desiring to
dicker with plans for cheaper money;
while the United States, as the large and
increasing creditor of the rest of the
world, should be the mainstay of the
gold standard. In as far as the argu-
ment for and against a deprecated
currency has rested upon the differ
ence between debtor and creditor, and
has appealed to some of our people on
the ground of self-interest because
they were supposed to be, as whole,
the creditor class, the foundation is be-
ing cut away swiftly from under it.
The vital Importance of sound money
was never greater for us than it is now.
The day of our financial supremacy
over the rest of the world is here. If
there is any tribute to be paid, we will
