MIR. PRESTON'S RETIREMENT.
1t Was "A Surprise 10 Every One, IL
Guiding Himself.

The resignation OF r. E. Preston as direc-
tor of the mint was a surprise to everybody
in the Treasury Department and through
out the city. Mr.. Preston himself had not
contemplated any such thing up to yester-
day morning. Then he received hint
from the White House that the President
would like to give the place to republi-
can. The resignation was Immediately
placed in the hands of Secretary Gage and
forwarded to the White House. In few
hours from the time the matter was first
preached the name Of Mr.. Preston's success
sor had been sent to the Senate. The resig-
ration of Mr.. Preston was through no de-
sire of Secretary Gage, who has looked
upon the director of the mint as one of the
ablest officials of the treasury. His long
experience and acquired information has
been very valuable to the government.
1t is understood that Mr.. Preston has
been offered other government service, but
has not decided what he will do. There
are few men in the government employ
With a longer or better record than M.
Preston. He is from Tennessee, and en-
tered the Office of the first auditor as clerk
i'll 1856. He remained in that office until
1874. He was then transferred to the mint
bureau as an examiner, the best place I'M
der the director. He remained in that posi-
ton until made director by President Cleve-
land four years ago.
Mr. Preston is considered one of the best
posted men on the conditions and output of
gold and silver in the country. In the last
campaign he supplied valuable literature to
the sound money cause. He is an ardent
advocate of a gold standard, and stood with
President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle
on this ques tion.. Early in his term of Of
flee Mr.. Preston refused to accept silver
bullion, under the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act, at prices arbitrarily fixed by
holders of the commodity regardless of the
current market prices, and the result was
that on several days the purchases of silver
fell below the quota of 4,J000o0 ounces
authorized by the act. This policy of Mr.
Preston was sustained by the President and
Secretary of the Treasury
Mr.. Roberts. who succeeds Mr. Preston,

DISTRESS AND POPpLISM.
Mr.. Simpson the Central Figure of a
Discussion.


Discussion.
After concluding consideration of Dis
trict business yesterday the House went
into committee of the whole on the Indian
appropriation bill.
Speaking to a pro forma amendment. Mr..
Simpson (Kan.) commented on an interview
with the President relative to the strike in
the cotton mills of New England, wherein
the President was quoted as deprecating
the condition of labor and as favoring a
restriction of immigration. Mr.. Simpson
spoke of the report of the Agricultural De-
partment experts on the condition of the
residents of the slums of New York. in
which, he said, the experts alleged that
their poverty was due to extravaganza
The upshot of Mr.. Simpsons comment was
that there should be economy in govern
mental affairs.
Mr.. Dingley (Me) replied in some good
natured remarks, in which he twitted Mr..
Simpson on having ceased to wall of mis-
cries OF bleeding Kansas and was now look
ing for misery elsewhere.
Continuing, Mr.. Dingley said he also be-
lieved in economy. but he thought it
strange that on every proposition to in
crease expenditures the gentleman from
Kansas (Simpson) had voted in the affirma-
tive.
THAT is not true" interposed Mr.. Simp-
son.
Il leave that to the members of the
House who have seen him filing through
the tellers," responded Mr.. Dingley. who
concluded by saying he hoped members
would follow the words, not the example of
Mr.. Simpson.
Mr.. Curtis (kan), commenting on Mr..
Simpsons statement about the reappear-
ance of prosperity in Kansas owing to
popuistic rule, said that in one year of re-
publican rule in this country the farmers
of Kansas had paid off $5o.ooo,o00 of mort
cages. while under populistic rule in Kan
sas every state institution was suffering
for lack of funds, and for the first time in
wears state warrants were being stamped
mot good for lack of funds The people
of kansas. he said, were proud of the re-
publican party.
After completing seven pages of the bill
the House adjourned.

Controller of Currency Dawes has issued
a general statement to the creditors of the
Chestnut Street Bank of Philadelphia.
Controller Dawes reviewed at length the
'Singerly PLAN Of liquidation by means of
a committee of five acting with the assent
of all the creditors of the bank. He said
that up to date only 80 per cent of the
creditors had given their assent to the
plan, and that he should grant twenty days
from date for the management to secure
the remaining signatures. Meantime, to
prevent undue loss of time the examiner in
charge will be named as temporary re-
ceiver, and will proceed toward liquidation
in the usual way. If at the end of twenty
days the creditors have not consented to
voluntary liquidation, the receivership will
be made permanent.

ing Alliance.
Julian w. Curtis, a member of Yale's
athletic courcil and one authorized to
speak on aquatic and foot ball matters yes
terday gave very clear explanation of the
stand taken by his college.
Would Yale sign an agreement to race
Cornell again in 1899 If the clause relating
to naming the course were left outT' asked
the reporter.
NO." he replied, ''she would not She
will not form any entangling alliance with
any college on earth-none is barred
You say no entangiing alliance and
yet Harvard and Yale are now racing I'M
der five-year agreement. Do you mean
to infer that this agreement will not be re-
newed when it expires?' was asked.
Il feel satisfied that it will not" he re-
piled.
Then, if Cornell enters a three-cornered
race this year, there is no reason why she
should not do the same in 1899 and every
year thereafter"
THAT is 1t exactly. An annual three
cornered race would attract the widest at
tention, ard at present there is TO reason
why Cornell should not expect to get in as
easily in 1899 as she will be able to in 1888.
But 1 am afraid that after her no other
crew will be given serious consideration.
AS stated more than month ago, Yale
is not after the championship, and abso-
lutely will not meet all Corners in any
branch of sport, and especially in rowing"

ed in the political nomenclature
Of the UnltedStates as the distinc.
tive origin Of this part of the
United States. The history and
tradition of the islands, and the
associations that no resident here
wants forgotten, will go on in
unbroken union with the name.
The form Of the government
will be modelled on that Of exist
ing territories. There will be
no further departures from this
than local conditions and national
political considerations makes
necessary.
1t is probable that in working
out the details the form Of gov.
eminent will not approximate SO
closely to that of state govern.
ment as the ordinary form Of
government does. But the ulti.
mate possibility of statehood will
not be barred. There will be no
District of Columbia or Alaska
form Of government proposed.
Local self.government will be
given through the extension Of
the municipal idea. The islands
will be divided into municipal
districts, having control, under
restrictions and limitations, OF
purely local affairs. Honolulu,
for instance, will be a municipal
district, embracing the whole OF
the island of Oahu.
Hawaii may be divided into
two districts, and Molokai, Lanai
and Nlyhau may be attached to
some other municipal district.
The question of territorial Legis.
lature has been fully settled,
There will be probably one, but
with limited powers. All the at
tributes of sovereignty, however,
will be exercised by the National
Government of the United States.
The people of Hawaii will be
called on to consider themselves

tional Government as a source Of
national power. In local affairs
they will have the opportunity
of exercising the highest attri-

of government the committee will

of national independence which
have grown up in the last so or
