THE VIRGINIA COLLECTORSHIP
A Sharp Fight Going on in Washington
Over the Position.

WASHINGTON. March 3O.-Special.-
The nomination OF collector for the West
ern Revenue district OF Virginia was not
sent to the Senate to-day, although con-
fidently expected by the friends OF Che
applicants here. This is not only disap-
pointing, but a little puzzling TO the gen.
tlemen most interested in this matter.
The delay may be caused by press OF
business at the White House or Treasury
Department, or there may be a hitcn
somewhere. The latter Is probable and
is frequently the case when the appoint
ment is surrounded by as many compli-
cations as this one Is. Representatives
Yost and Walker called on Secretary OF
Treasury Gage this morning, and this de-
lay might be attributed TO this visit IL
is understood that these gentlemen have
formed a combination. offensive and de-
fensive. They claim that being the only
legally elected representatives OF the Re-
publican party Of Virginia In Washington
they are entitled to consideration In rhe
distribution OF the Federal offices in the
State. While Mr.. Heleman. OF Allegheny
county, is usually alluded TO as the fost
candidate for collector. he is endorsed
by General Walker. while Mr.. Yost re-
ciprocates by endorsing General Walker S
candidate for marshal; the presumption,
therefore. is that these gentlemen this
morning requested delav ia making tns

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. March Ca
cable dispatch from japan states that the
Government coinage bill. changing the
standard az value in Japan from silver
10 gold. which has been before the Japa-
nese Diet for some time, has been passed
by both houses. and has been sent to the
Emperor for approval.
The bill proposes TO fix the government
ratio between the two metals at 80 10 /.
The unit of value will be a gold yen,
which will be one-half the weight and
value of the old japanese gold yen. which
is OF the same weight and fineness as the
gold dollar OF the United States. The pro-
posed unit Of value will, therefore, be the
exact equivalent OF fifty cents in United
States money, and. approximately, OF tne
same value as the present unit or Value
in japan, the silver yen, which at the
current rate of exchange. Is worth about
ffty-one cents in United States money
IL is proposed that the smallest coin
minted shall be a five yen piece.
The further coinage of silver VIII be
limited to subsidiary coins. The silver
ven now in circulation will be maintained
AT par with the gold yen by the govern
ment being prepared TO redeem them In
gold whenever called upon TO do so.
