Representative Beach, of Ohio. made
a statement to the house committee on
foreign afIalrs to-day III explanation OF
resolution introduced by him for sc-
curing q uniform standard OF value in
commerce by the use OF international
coins.
The measure Is particularly designed
to bring about closer trade relations
between the United States and other
countries OF this hemisphere and the
east. II requests the President 20 be-
gin negotiations with China, Japan. tho
republics and colonies OF the American
hemisphere, Canada, and the Hawaiian
Islands for the purpose of securing a
uniform standard Of value. All OF the
countries mentioned IN the resolution
are Silver-uBInB countries ana Mt.
Beach said that one result Of his pros
ject. II Il succeeded would be to In
crease the demand for American silver.
The greatest hindrance to trade with
neighbOrlng nations was the system OF
exchange through London. They
would not be adapted TO general circu-
lation in the countries which might
adopt them. nor need they be mnde le-
Eal tender In those countries. Silver
would be the material best adapted for
coins and It's present and prospective
value should be taken into considera-
ton in adopting such coinage.

There was to have been joint Repub-

the senate Scarcely anybody Is in IA
VOr OF the present law, and almost ev-
erybody wishes TO relieve the legisla-
ture OF the duty Of selecting OF school
books. Some have favored a state
board. but the sentiment has tended
steadily towards the county selection
system. Under that each county Will
select, as the city of Wheeling and Oth-
er Independent districts do now, villa
generally good results.
The bill for the reform OF the crlmI-
nal charge system was further amend
ed In the senate to-day IL goes over
until tomorrow. so that the amend
ment may be printed. The decisive vote
is expected then.
The deficiency bill carries an appro-
priation of $l25.000 on account criminal
charges, and while 1t Is proposed to
appropriate $4,000 year for the next
two years, the probability IS that II the
