When ELISA returned from the assembly

Aluminium has acquired so rapid a pop
ularity for variety of purposes by reason
of its lightness. its cleanliness and its
brightness that it is remarkable it should
not have been used before for the smaller
denominations of coins as a substitute for
the far heavier and dirty copper and
bronze.
A change is. however. to be wrought in
this direction; but, instead of the authori-
ties of our own mint being the pioneers in
what would unquestionably be a popular
movement. the initiative Will come from
the other side of the Atlantic, where a COM
mittee on coming has reported upon the
subject. and Congress will no doubt act in
the matter in accordance with that report
during the next few months.
To the people who have to carry large
sums of money in small denominations the
change-for the change is bound to come
sooner or later in our own country-will be
most welcome. A man presented by the
conductor of an omnibus with IL pence
change for a shilling invariably grumbles
at the weight which he is condemned to
carry about with him. and a woman equally
resents the excessive weight which is added
to her purse by similar transaction.
The adoption of aluminium coinage would
change the whole Of this and make the
QUESTION of pennies pleasure rather than
otherwise, for the metal is far brighter
even than silver. and retains its luster for
much longer time.
1t will no doubt be urged that the use of
a silver-colored metal would lead to all
sorts of frauds being perpetrated on the
unwary, Just as there were at the time
when silver three half-penny pieces or
"quattie,' as ii was called, We're withdrawn
from circulation in Jamaica. and nickel
pennies and half-pennies were substituted
for it, Then the negroes We're frequently
defrauded by the INSCRIPTIONS. who PALM
ed off pennies as half-crowns and the half
pennies as shllings. But in a very short
time the negro got to understand that
silver coins were milled at the edge and
the dishonest people ceased having a good
time of it, There is however an additional
natural advantage in the use of aluminium
for its weight is so different that it would
seem to be an impossibility for any one to
make a mistake in the matter.

DID THEY HIT THE CRAFT?
warships Fire on One Of the Spanish Tor
pedo Boats at Night.

Chicago, June 10. - The Associated
Press has a copyrighted dispatch from
it's press boat off Santiago de Cuba de-
scribing the firing by United States war
ships on a supposed Spanish torpedo
boat Friday night last. 1t is absolutely
not known according to this report
whether the torpedo boat was hit. The
story says the boat was first seen by
the New Orleans and later Captain Tai
ger reported that he had sighted
snail steamer perhaps gunboat; that
she had failed to answer the private
signal. and that he had fired on her. He
believed she had escaped along the
beach or had been destroyed, he could
not tell which. That ended the first
experience mere with torpedo boats in
naval warfare. 1t was not until the
Porter found the torpedoes that the
danger of the affair was fully realized.
The Porter was steaming two miles
from shore and well to the eastward Of
Moro castle when two torpedoes were
seen floating on the water.
Ensign ellis jumped overheard and
swan around them. He tried to un-
screw the war nose, but the torpedo it,
self turned too easily in the water. He
returned to the Porter and Commander
Fremont finally got one Of the torpedoes
safely on board. The other sunk as he
was getting IL in. Commander Fremont
then brought the torpedo alongside the
New York. 1t was a 14-inch Whitehead
OF modern make, and worth about So
500. 1t was in perfect condition and had
any of our ships struck IL while IL
fioated 1t would have exploded and per-
haps sunk the ship. Therefore the find
was not only valuable but most fort
innate.
A curious fact is that the torpedo
which sunk had an exercise head on and
had no war nose, and would not have
exploded. This either means that the
Spaniards are terribly ignorant or care
less about torpedoes. Precautions
against a night torpedo attack have
been distinguishing feature of Ad-
mirel SIMPSONS policy ever since the
commencement OF the war, and Friday
night proved the efficacy OF the ar
rsigements Everything moved as
smo othly as IL in the case OF a day en-
gagement. In spite of the difficulty ex-
perienced in seeing the enemy, had a
torpedo boat ventured anywhere near
the effective range OF fire IL would un-

Yesterday morning orders came to Col

airy, to send men to the stations where
his stroops were originally recruited to
snlist men sufficient to fill the regiments
to the maximum limit of 103 and three
commissioned officers. They left before

Owing to the extreme heat that pre-
vailed yesterday there were no heavy
movements or prolonged drills. the days
work being confined almost exclusively
to battalion andregimental manoeuvers.
This weather is regarded by the au-
thorties as altogether the best thing for
seasoning the troops and acclimatng
them TO the more extreme heat to be
encountered further south. There are
probably twenty regiments out of the
forty-three here ready for active SER
vice, and it is confidently asserted by
the officers who were seen yesterday
that an order for these to move will be
forthcoming within a fortnight.
General Grant, who has been indis-
posed for several days, has entirely re-
covered and announced yesterday that
his battle problem would be worked to-
morrow by the nine regiments of the

ATTACK ON A MAGAZINE.
Two Men Try to Enter That at Fort. st.
Philip-Sentinel Hurt

Atlanta, Ca, June 10.-An attempt
was made on the night of May 90 to en-
ter the magazine at Fort st. Philip on
the Mississippi river, sixty-five miles
below New Orleans In endeavoring to
apprehend the two miscreants the sem
tinel who challenged them was struck
on the head by a bar OF iron in the
hands of a hidden ally and seriously
injured. The news of the affair did not
become known until yesterday. About
half-past on the morning OF May 20
the sentinel on the parapet of the
Tenth battery heard a suspicious noise
in the direction Of the magazine and on
creeping up to the house saw two men
trying to force the locks.
He challenged them, but they ran and
although fired at managed to secape,
one of the men sending a shot through
the sentry's sleeve as he left The SEN
tinel pursued the two men and as he
reared the steps leading to the landing
a third man stepped out and struck
him with a bar of iron, telling him to
the ground. The guards aroused by the
shooting came on the scene hastily. but
the three men escaped in a boat down
the river.
