New designs for the dollar silver GER
tifcate have been completed at the Bu-
Teau of Engraving and Printing. and the
notes bearing them will soon be issued.
The central device on the face of the
note is an American eagle, with wings
partly spread. ciutching the flag. and
with the dome Of the Capitol in the back
ground. Below the platform upon which
the eagle stands are small portraits of
Lincoln and Grant set in medalIions.
Large and clear figures are In each cor
ner OF the note and on the sides The
space between the central device and the
lathe work at the ends is clear white pa
per, except for the imprint of the seal
in one space and the denomination of
the note in another. The seal upon the
silver certificates will be in blue, and the
figures in the open space will be in the
same ink.
The reverse side of the note cores
ponds TO the face in respect to the large
display of white paper, without printing
or lathe work. Large plain figures APP
pear in each corner, and scrolls make up
an attractive border, but the only re-
naming space upon which printing APP

language regarding the qualities of the
note as a tender for public dues is set
forth. The object of a clear display OF
white paper on both sides of the note is
to afford a safeguard against counter

that it is easier TO detect the use OF pa

e Esthte of Ohio.

Columbus -s0tRo, Nov. H-Attorney Cen
eral Monnett returned yesterday from LII
ma. where he had been engaged in secur-
ing evidence to be used in the Standard
Oil case.
1--WE found out said he to a cores
pondent, in spite of the efforts of the
attorneys and officers of the trust, that
the same men are directors of bank In
New York, of the Pipe Line Company,
and all the constituent companies of the
great oil trust; that the company, contra
ry to the condition of its charter, keeps
it's books and papers. and, in short, has
it's principal office in Oil City, Pa IN
stead of Lima, as is provided in the COM
pany's charter.
I'VE found out that the company, with
out any such privilege granted in its
charter, owns and is operating a tele-
graph line from New York to Chicago,
passing through its oil centers; that it
also handles commercial business on this
line for the general public, and tnat 1t
does a telephone business.

al petition against the company, and bring

ACQUIRED ownership of the one share of
stock that each one of them owns. They
did not know who were the other stock
holders. and stated on the stand that
man named Hall came out from New
York to attend the stockholders meet

voted
''They defy us to make them surrender
the stock for cancellation, and defy the
State to prosecute them for holding the
certificates in violation of the order Of
the courts. They hold them in violation
of the States orders, and refuse to list
them for taxation because they say they
are Illegal entities. These certificates rep
resent property which in one year paid
in cash dividends to the amount of $24.-
600 600. 1t pays not one cent of taxes.
Mr.. Monnett will go to Cleveland today
to continue the work of taking evidence
for use in this case there.

Cuban DemagoEues.

military, civil or judicial, who could not
be bribed. The idea that government
has any other purpose than corruption
has never entered the minds of the
great body of Spain's subjects. The
American officials at Santiago have
been approached by intelligent citizens
with all sorts of corrupt schemes. That
they have spurned offers by which they
could enrich themselves the natives
charge to their having been bought up
by somebody else.
If, when the protocol was signed,
General Blanco had been deposed. the
Americans would now enjoy the utmost
confidence of nearly every class in
Cuba 1t would have been impossible
to enlist any number in the mischievous
movement to resist American admins
tration. This is the deliberate judg
ment of every intelligent American at
Havana. Blanco has had full power for
nearly four months since the war ceas-
ed and has been busy working to make
trouble for the Americans. He has used
the custom house and other revenues
which he has stolen to bribe eloquent
dema gogues 10 create diStruSt and

venting libels against this nation and
miSrepresen1ing its aims. He has even
issued arms and ammunition to the Gu

cans. How far he has succeeded in or
ganizing the movement for the imme-
diate recognition of Cuban independ-
ence and self government is not known.
but he has been indirectly aided by the
inaction of the Evacuation Commits
sioners and the result is feared by the
American and English colony at the
capital. All this might have been avoid
ed by the prompt removal of Blanco
and the institution of an American
military governor.

would be an easy matter to suppress

a flying machine, and its car will con-
tain Nirdlinger and his companion.
The start, according to report, will be
made from New York on Wednesday.
The machine will be carried to the top
of the big Siegel, Cooper & Co.'S build
ing, at Sixth Avenue and Eighteenth
Street; its inventor and his assistant will
embark. let go the roof and sail grace
fully through the atmosphere, heading on
an airline for Washington. At least.
that is the way the inventor figures
things out. 1t is just possible, however,
that a stiff breeze may blow him sea-

The machine looks like a large, cylindri-
cal boiler, with a boat hanging beneath it.
There is no boiler about II. though. the
cylinder being used merely to enclose sew
eral gas bags. upon which the inventor de-
pends to keep the machine in the air.
The bags are to be inflated with common

invention has no paddle wheels, no screw
propellers and no flying sails to give il
motive power after it's buoyancy has been
established He depends for propulsion
and steering arrangements upon a very
simple device which has for a long long
time been in use in unpretentious grain

Much is to be said, however, in favor
of the people of Porto Rico. They are

There was a very marked feeling OF

native Porto Ricans at the evacuation Of
the Spanish army. While there had been
no open revolt there was in some places,
evident dissatisfaction with the long
Spanish rule which had engendered dis
likes which were liable and likely to take
form at the moment of evacuation when
Spanish authority was relinquished. For
this reason our Commission did every
thing that could be done to impress on
the people the necessity, for their
own good, of permitting the Spanish
troops to withdraw without any attempt
to harrass them or from expressions Of
satisfaction that could be construed as
insulting and likely to cause any clash.
