SECRETARY GAGE SAYS A LARGER
AMOUNT IS NEEDED.
ASKS THAT BILLS BE PASSED
URGES UPON CONGRESS IMPORTANCE
OF THREE MEASURES.
Demand for Fractional Silver Coin
Hns Been Much Greater Than
Amount Coined Since 1890
Treasury Paying Out
Worn Coins.

Washington Jan. 27.-Sccretary Gage has
sent to Chairman Stone, of the house COM
mittee on coinage, weights and measures.
a letter in which he explains the necessity
for the enactment of several important
bills recently introduced in the house at his
request and still pending.
He says the amount it Is permissible
under the existing law to allow the meter
and refinery and carrier of the United
States mints for wastaGe in their opera
tions of the precious metals is excessive
and should be reduced to one-half thou
sandths of the whole.
The demand for new fractional silver
coin since 1890 has been much greater than
the amount coined. and the treasury has
been compelled to pay out worn coin. as the
amount of new coins manufactured has
been estimated by the appropriation made
for the payment of loss on rccoinage of
such coin.
From the demands for new coin 1t
would appear that Il much larger amount
of subsidiary silver coin would be main
tanned in circulation of the treasury were
authorized to use silver bullion now in the
treasury, in the coinage of such denomna-
tions of subsidiary silver coin as might
from time TO time be required, and it is
therefore recommended that such author
lty be given by congress, not onIy TO use
any bullion now in the treasury. but also
authority to recoin all worn and abraded
fractional silver coin now i'll the treasury
and hereafter received.
There are now in the treasury over
100000 in subsidiary silver coin; of this
amount it is estimated that about $1,000. 900
is unfit for circulation.
The third bill is to authorize the receipt
of foreign gold coins in sums of 5000 in any
single deposit and to pay for them without
previously melting the coin to be held as
bullion and paid out for export in exchange
for United States coin.

A PREACHER-P0LICEMAN.
Roundsman Nesbitt Was n Minister
Before He Went on the New
York Police Force.

New York, Jan. 27.-When Roundsman
William Nesbitt preached at East Chester
on Sunday night it was not the first time
that he had occupied a pulpit. He was a
preacher long before he became a police
man, and he has been or the force sixteen
years. He is an old-fashioned Methodist
of the shouting kind. and believes in noise,
enthusiasm. experiences, testimony, grace
and muscular Christianity. He is also re-
garded as a worthy member of the force
and has been particularly successful in
arresting thugs and the worst of GRIM
inals.
Up at the Wakefield substation to which
Nesbitt is attached, one of his comrades
said in answer to a question whether Nes-
bitt was more preacher or policeman: Il
don't know what kind of a preacher he is.
but he's a darned good policeman" This
eloquent tribute supplements the reports
from ecclesiastical quarters. where Nes-
bits services are in great demand.
Concerning himself Policeman Nesbitt
says: I'm policeman preacher, not a
preaching policeman. I've earned my pro-
motion by sticking to my business, but I'm
a member of another organization that
count 1t greater honor to fight for. 1 give
battle to the devil and all his works when
l can. hoping some day to be able to give
all my time to it,

HAVE 300 RABBIT TRAPS.
How WellhOuse & Son Protect Their
Kansas Orchards From the
Rnya-es of Rabbits,

Topeka. Kas., Jan. 27.-(Specialo One Of
the incidents of orcharding on large scale
not likely to be thought of by the casual
observer is the constant warfare which it Is
necessary to wage on the rabbits that are
so likely to work great destruction TO
young apple trees. This is illustrated by
the operations of Weilhouse & Son, OF To-
peka, kas., who are recognized as the
apple kings. For their orchard in Usage
county they used a carload of lumber in
the construction of LOO rabbit traps; for
their three orchards in Leavenworth coun-
ty they have 800 traps, and in Miami
county orchard. AGO traps. These traps con-
siSt of a box twenty-five inches long. made
of ordinary siX-inch lumber. one inch thick,
closed at one end, and with wire gate
in the other end. which is closed by contact
of the rabbit with Il trigger after he has
entered. About four feet OF lumber and
four feet of No. u galvanized iron wire
are consumed in the making of each trap,
which costs from l2l2 to 10 cents. This
trap, now constructed, is considered we'll
nigh perfect. cost and efficiency considered.
and is the result of twenty years of eX-
perimentation in making traps, and study
ing the nature and habits of the rabbits.
In this connection tho word rabbit applies
only to the ordinary cottontail, and not
to the larger, iackrabbit which the Messrs.
Wellhouse say is not especially trouble
some to the apple trees.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Shorts in wheat had
another surprise in wheat to-day. Shortly

much agility as on Tuesday or Wednesday.
when the same tactics were pursued BY

considerable excitement. The advance in
January started n general covering move
ment among the shorts in futures. and May
was advanced to 9li4 cents and July to SIS
cents the highest point in several weeks.
The market was naturally a strong one.
on reports that Russia would probably soon
become an importer of wheat, and on the
strong cables. outside markets were also
very strong and the Letter buying was felt
almost instantly. January closed at sl.0i7s,
olA cents advance at 97kT97A cents, and
July IA cents advance at Sis cents.

GREER COUNTY BOOMING.
OklahOma's Recent Acquisition From

Valuable One.

Guthrie, o. T., Jan. 2I.-(Specialo School
Land Commissioner Filson returned to-day

two weeks upon school land matters. Ow-
ing to n conflict in the. Greer county law
