MONETARY CONFERENCE BILL.
1t VIII Probably Pass the House by
Good Majority

1t Will Probably Pass the House by
Good Majority.
The House committee on coinage, weights
and measures did nothing at their meeting
this morning with relation to the Senate
resolution for an international monetary
conference. Two or three bills on the sub
5ect have been introduced in the House
by members Of that COMMITTEES, and It was
decided. as a matter Of courtesy to the
authors Of the bills, to have a hearing on
the subject on Saturday.
1t is understood that the committee will
report the resolution favorably, and the
opposition to 1t will be purely Pickwickian.
The purpose of those who are for silver
without the consent of any nation on
eartE" Is to make a lot of speeches
and lively debate is anticipated, but the
measure will pass by a large majority.
A minor bill of some IMPORTANCE, as in
volving a principle, was adopted by the
committee after nscd fgh-. Mutilated
coin are now redeemed by the government
at their bullion value. This does not in
volye loss beyond the actual piutila ton
IN the case of gold; bat the bullion value of
silver being so far below the coin value,
very considerable loss to the holder is
involved. Mr.. Otey OF Virginia some time
ago introduced a bill providing that re-
demptions should oe made at the coinage
tenth part cut away. would he redeemed
al nine-tenths its co,n:,sa value. or ninety
cents. This bill was reported favorably to-
day by vote of 10 :, and it is the cx-
pectation of the committee that they will
pass it.

ADMIRAL BUNCE'S SQUADRON.
Left Hampton Roads Today for
New Set of Maneuvers

Left Hampton Roads Today for n
New Set of Maneuvers.
Admiral Bunce's SQUADRON sailed from
Hampton Roads today TO begin a new set
of maneuvcrs and drills. the most interest
ing feature of which will be mock block
ace of the port of Charleston, s. c., repro
ducing, in some measure, the conditions
that existed there during a period in the
last war. The vessels which followed the
f1agship New York out of the Roads today
were the battle ship Indiana, the armored
cruiser Maine, the turret ship Amphitrite
the cruiser Columbia and the dispatch boat
Fern. The admiral telegraphed the fact of
his departure to the Navy Department, and
added that the Marblehead, which is some
where outside the cdpes would be ordered
tc fall in line. If sighted. The double -tur-
reted monitors Puritan and Terror are also
expected to join the squadron, and by the
time the actual blockade tactics begin
there will probably be other additions to
the force of vessels. The squadron will
probably put III some time during the IA
vorable weather drilling off the canes and
on the way southwark, and 1t Is not ex-
pected that the ships will be of Charleston
before the.Sth instant unless the weather
forces a change in the program.

The police and charity organizations had
very little In their poor funds today and
were doing the best they could to relieve
only extreme cases. The donations being
received are very small. as compared with
what was received last week At the
Central Union Mission 1t was stated that
the donations were so small that they were
not worth noting. while at the headQuar-
ters of the Associated Charities. as already
stated, assistance was being given only in
extreme cases The police heutenaRts re-
ported this morning that the number of
applicants for assistance had decreased
since the announcement was made that the
fund was exhausted. But still the num-
ber of callers is large. Speaking on the
question of charity police lieutenant told
Star reporter that the number of appli-
cants Increases when there are food and
fuel at the station which they can get and
take away in their baskets. Most of those
who are noF asking for aid are really in
need. and many of them are actually suffer-
ing. Last night at the fifth precinct sta

told. Our fund is exhausted"
But I must get something for my fam

my family can't be permitted to starve."
The mans pleadings were OF no avail
for the charity fund was exhausted and
the police had taxed their own pockets to
the fullest extent. All the police could do
was to refer him to the Associated Chari-
ties.
This morning a man, who gave his name
as Robert Bolster. called at police head

The Action Arbitrarily Taken by tn
President.

President.
Col. Robt. E. F. Crofton, 18th Infantry,
was arbitrarily retired today by order of
the President. 1t has been the desire of
the War Department for some time that
this officer should leave the active service,
and efforts have been made during the past
two years to attain this end, first through
intimations to the friends Of Col. Crofton
that his retirement would be granted If ap-
piled for. and this failing, through that
law which obliges an officer to retire If
found physically unfit for service by q
medical board This last course was adopt
ed about nine months ago. but also with
out success. the board finding that the
officer was In good condition physically
Finally, recourse has been had to the law
which permits the President to retire an
officer arbitrarily when he shall have
reached sixty-two years of age. Col.
Crofton passed this milestone last month
and the law has been applied to his case
This is a most unusual proceeding, the last
instance of a forced retirement being in the
case OF Gen. Carr. who was forced out in
order to permit OF the promotion of officers
below him in rank. Col. Crofton was In

dan. near Chicago. and was. with or with

many incidents in the history of the occu-
patton of the post that furnished matter
for the civil and criminal courts and many

Col. Crofton has a good war record. He
is not a native American. being born in
Ireland, and he entered the service in sn
unusual manner. becoming at once captain
of the 10th Infantry, in May, 1861. He
served throughout the war and was bre-
yetted major and colonel for gallant service
at Shiloh and Chickamauga. He became
colonel of the 18th Infantry in October,
1885, and Is now stationed at Fort Bayard.
