The Report That Japan Had Adopted
the Gold Standard Not Borne Out
By the Facts.

WASHINGTON. March Sin view Of
telegram received at the Japanese lega-
tion to-day. the announcement recently
made that Japan had adopted the gold
standard seems 10 have been premature.
on the 2d inst. it will be introduced into
the Diet for the adoption of the gold
standard. with the following provision:
THE present gold yen. the standard
coin of the country. will, according to this
measure. be circulated at double its pres
ent value. while the one yen silver piece
will circulate az half its value until abol-
ished by an edict Of the emperor The
subsidiary coinage of the country will re-
main untouched. and free coinage will be
abolished from the date Of the promulga-
tion of this edict. which is set for Octo-
Der /. 1897"
The status Of this bill up to date Is
merely that of any biil introduced into one
house Of our Congress. Il has not yet
been passed. and +, IS not certain that It
will be. The sentiment in Japan favrs q
reorganization OF the money system. and
during the past year mixed commiss ssion
Of bankers merchants. politicians and
professional men was appointed 10 con-
slider the subject. Their report was by no
means conclusive Some favored the re-
tention OF the free silver coinage: some
were in favor of ratio Of &c TO !. such as
was advocated in the last campaign In
this country. while others favored the
gold standard. The present bill is a COM
promise measure. but whether or not II
will be passed members Of the legation
hesitate TO predict.

TWO BIG STRIKES.
Two Thousand Building Trades Hen
Out in Chicago, and Ten Thousand
TO Go Out in New York.

Chicago. March S.-Two thousand
plasterers and hod carriers went on a
strike this morning, following the
course of action decided upon Saturday
night, and work on practically every
building in course of construction in
the city has been brought to a stand
still. The only important exception
in the down town district is the new
Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, where
two hundred men are at work, the con-
tractor having agreed to sustain the old
rate of wages. Before noon several
other contractors were reported to have
sent in notice of their willingness to
agree to the terms OF the strikers.
No trouble is anticipated, and no
general strike is expected to follow.
Chairman Herman Lilien. of the strike
board, stated that the board had de-
cided to treat every Job separately and
the possibility of calling sympathetic
strike of the twenty-one trades allied
10 the building trades union, was there
fore remote.
New York March S.-The first of a
series of strikes that will probably in
vove 10000 mechanics Of the building
trades, was ordered by a committee of
the board cf walking delegates on the
new Columbia college building. Over
500 worlmen quit work. The COM
mittee then proceeded to other large
buildings to order strikes, and at latest
advices it was said that every large
structure now in course Of construction
in this city will be Struck" The
strike is the outgrowth Of dispute
between labor organizations as to
which should control the work on ele-
vators.
New York. March S.-Five hundred
cloakmakers in addition to those who
went on strike yesterday, quit work
to-day.
The strikers hocked to Wallahalla
hall. where they went to ventilate their
alleged grievances in mass-meeting.
They want an increase of 25 per cent
in the regular price list.
