Ottawa, July 2.-Capt. E. BoItwood's
recent visit to Topeka in the interests
of a mounted company of militia here,
resulted in disappointment.
Capt. Boltwood went before the mill
tary board, composed of Adjutant Cen
eral Allen, Major General Milman and
Brigadler General Carver, and found
the adjut2nt general very heartily in
support of the idea, but the others OPP
posed it on the ground of expense. They
intimated rather strongly that militia
company of infa would be granted
but Capt BoItwood was not interested
in that branch of the service.

MESSAGE ON THE CURRENCY.
The President Urges the appointment
of Monetary Commission.

The President Urges the appointment
OF a Monetary Commission.
Washington July 26.-Before final
| adjournment the president sent the fol-
lowing message to congress:
To the Congress Of the United States:
In my message convening the con-
gress in extraordinary session [ called
attention to "a single subject--that of
providing revenue adequate to meet
the reasonable and proper expenses of
| the government. believed that to be
the most pressing subject for settle
ment then.
| A bill to provide the necessary rev
enues for the government has already
| passed the house of representatives and
| the senate, and awaits executive ac-
| tion.
| Another question of very great i'm
| portance Is that of the establishment
/ Of our currency and banking system
on a better basis, which 1 commented
upon in my inaugural address as fol-
lows:
"Our financial system needs some re-
vision; our money is all good now,
/ but its value must not further be
threatened. 1t should all be put upon
an enduring basis, not subject to easy
attack, nor Its stability to doubt or dis
pute.
THE several forms of our paper
money Offer in my judgment, a con-
/ slant embarrassment to the govern
ment and imperl a safe balance in the
/ treasury"
Nothing was settled more clearly at
! the late national election than the de-
| termination upon the part of the people
to keep their currency stable in value
and equal to that of the most advanced
nations of the world.
The soundness of our currency is no
where questioned. No loss can occur
to It's holders. 1t is the system which
should be simplifed and strengthened,
keeping our money just as good, as It is

RACE TO BEAT THE TARIFF LAW

One Captain Arrives on Time ana Is
Cheered--HIsses For a Tardy One.
New York, July 26.-The closing
hours of the operation of the Wilson
tariff law We're full of excitement. The
most exciting time was at 245 p. m.
when Captain Duton, of the Cunard
steamship Umbria, was brought to the
custom house in a cab for the filing Of
the manifest of the cargo of the vessel
In time to admit the pay y mt of duties
before the close of the days business.
When the cab rushed up to the en-
trance Of the building, its occupant was
greeted with cheers. He was partly
carried up the stone steps by the anx-
ious brokers who had been awaiting
his arrival
A reception of an entirely different
character was accorded Captain San
tell, of the French liner La Touraine,
who did not reach the custom house
until 4.07 p. m.-just seven minutes too
late to file his manifest. So anxious
had the importers been to secure the
entry of their invoices on this vessel
that tug was dispatched down the
bay to bring him ashore quickly.
Unlike Captain Duton, of the Umbria
who came in a tug, accompanied by
Freight Agent Currey, of the Cunard
Line the French captain, under the
rules of his company, would not leave
his ship until she was safely in her
dock
When the cab bearing him rushed up
he was greeted with Kisses and groans.
bowling mob of brokers and hangers
on followed him about from depart
ment to department, while he was
vainly trying to secure the admission
of the vessels manifest
one of the heaviest losers by the late
arrival of La Touraine is L. C. Del
monico, of the Fifth Avenue Art Gal
lery. There was a considerable con
signment of paintings on board the
vessel for him. Under the Wilson bill
they were admitted free of duty, but
the Dingley bill imposes a tariff of
$35, 900 on this single shipment.

now with less expense % u.a govern.
ment and the people
The sentiment of the country IS
strongly in favor of early action by
congress in this direction, to revise our
currency laws and remove them from
partisan contention.
A notable assembly of business men,
with delegates from 20 states and ter
ritories was held at indianapolis in
January of this year. The financial
situation commanded their earnest at
tention. and after a two days session
the convention recommended to con-
gress the appointment of a monetary
commission.
/ commend this report to the con-
sideration Of congress. The authors of
the report recommend a commission
ito make a thorough investigation Of
the monetary affairs and needs of this
country in all relations and aspects,
and to make proper suggestions as to
any evils found to exist and the rene
dies therefor"
This subject should receive the at
tention Of congress at It's special ses-
sion. It ought not to be postponed un-
til the regular session.
I therefore urgently recommend that
a special commission be created, nom
partisan In its character, to be COM
posed of well-informed citizens of diff
ferent parties, who viii command the
confidence of congress and the coun-
try because of their special fitness for
the work, whose duty it shall be to
make recommendations of whatever
changes in our present banking and
currency laws may be found necessary
and expedient, and to report their con
clusions on or before the first day of
November next, in order that the same
may be transmitted by me to congress
for its consideration at it's first regular
session.
1t is to be hoped that the report thus
made win be so comprehensive and
sound as to receive the support of all
parties and the favorable action of con-
gress.
At all events, such report cannot
fail to be of value to the executive
branch Of the government as well as
to those charged with public legisla-
tion, and to greatly assist in the estab-
lishment of an improved system Of
finance. WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

THE NEW TARIFF LAW.
1t Went Into Effect the First Minute o

WAsHINGTON, D. c., July 26.-Acting
under the construction of the law favored by
President Mckinley and Congressman Ding
ley the Treasury Department will instruct
Collectors of Customs that the new law took
effect at the first minute of Saturday morning
and to collect the new duties on all importa-
tions entered Saturday.
An official decision as to the exact time
when the tariff law went into effect has not
been made, but it is understood the treasury
officials will hold that it took effect at mid

that the treasury decision will be contested in
the courts by importers.
