But the effect of the further policy, to do
away with, as money, all the coined silver
of the world, is only beginning to be felt;
which policy means, If carried out, the de-
struction of half of the now metallic money
making the other half worth twice as much,

GATHERING AT
CHATTANOOGA
Cavalry and Artillery From All
Parts of the United
States.

CHATTANOOGA April 20-Cavalry and artil-
lery from all parts of the country poured
| into Chattanooga today. Major-General
! John r. Brooke and his staff of the depart
ment of the lakes arrived from Chicago
| late this afternoon to assume command at
the Chickamauga camping ground. Gem
| eral Brooks came on a special train over
the Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
railroad. He was met some distance out of
Chattanooga by Northumberland Lee
who reviewed the general situation with
his superior officer and accompanied him to
Chattanooga.
The soldiers cheered General Brooke when
he arrived while a bugler sounded the call
to arms and as the train slowly pulled into
the depot the outstretched hands of the
troops were filled with flowers by pretty
southern girls. Far into the night COM
panies of cavalry kept coming in, four train
loads of troops from Fort Meyer, with their
horses and accoutrements, arriving at In
tervals Of about one hour. Besides these,
two trains with troops from Forts Porter
and Niagara, N. Y, passed through Chatta-
nooga early in the evening on their way TO
Tampa.
Owing to the lateness of the hour of ar
rival the trains were switched onto side
tracks, and guards thrown out, the troops
spending the night in the yards.
General Brooke stated to an Associated
Press reporter this evening that for the
present he and his staff will make their
headquarters at the Read house in Chatta-
nooga which during the civil war was
known as the CrutchfieId house. and was
used as a hospital by both the federal and
confederate troops at different times during
the campaign around Chattanooga. Tomor-
row General Brooke will go out to Chicka-
manga to look over the grounds and direct
the placing of the troops as they arrive.
1t is probable that Colonel A. X Arnold,
of the First cavalry, will be placed in COM
mand of the First brigade of cavalry, he be-
ing the senior of the six colonies who will
soon be on the field. Colonel G. c. Hunt, of
the Second, who is next in seniority, will, it
is expected, command the Second brigade.

Besides, 16 to is the natural ratio;
the average production of the world in

Bros. was entered and the cash drawer
relieved of it's contents. The Southern
Railway night operator at the junction on
Third street hung his vest by a window.
In his vest pocket was a handsome gold
watch that the thieves easily appropriated.
At one residence the thieves, after rob-
bling a sleeping apartment of jewels and
money, went to the dining room and spread
for themselves a hearty meal, which they
leisurely made way with.
