necessity, in the opinion Of the com
mittee, for the proposed legislation.
The Evening Star yesterday printed

lures Of the bill, and which, in the
main, are probably fairly accurate:
An amendment 70 the coinage laws, making
255S grains Of gold, 800 parts hne, the standard
coin measure.
An amendment 20 the greenback reissue act
Of 1913 providing that those treasury notes shah

the means 70 raid the gold reserve
An amendment 70 the specie resumption act,
directing the maintenance OF g gold reserve q
not less than 5000 600, the maintenance Of
the reserve at that figure now being entirely
discretionary to the secretary OF the treasury.
An amendment 70 the national bank law au-
thOrizing banks 70 be organized with q capital
stock Of s25. OO0

DEWEY FAvoRs sUBIG BAY.
The Admiral FavOrs 1t as = Naval station
In the Philippines Instead OF Cavite-
L. 60 Miles from Manila

Washington, Nov. %. - Admiral
Dewey called at the navy department
yesterday, IN response to arequest from
Secretary Long, to discuss the question
Of establishing a naval station at
Cavite or other point near Manila
Such a station is now in operation at
Cavite, but 1t is fOreseen that require
ments Of the navy may be much greater
than those which are temporarily at
tended to at Cavite- The admiral
brought with him portions Of his report
70 be incorporated in the full report Of
the Philippine commission. This dis
cusses the establishment Of a perma-
nent naval station in the Philippines
and regards Subig bay, about go miles
from Manila, as preferable to Cavite, as
this is a fine harbOr Of a capable depth
Of water and many natural advantages
for making this a strong naval estab-
lishment.

THE VICE PRESIDENTS BODY.
Lawn Cemetery, Paterson, n. IA
Tomb to Be Erected.

Paterson, \. J, Nov. 27.-The body
Of Vice President Hobart was put in
the receiving vault at Cedar Lawn GEM
etery at four o'clock Saturday after
noon. Such a vast crowd gathered
about the house and church during the
services that there was much confusion
Several women tainted in the throng
and the artillery guards had to fight
the people back To let the carriages
pass from the house to the church. A
crowd cheered the president when he
alighted from the train, but he bowed
stif1y and his displeasure was manifest.
Mrs. Hobart wept when she saw the
president. 1t is not likely Vice Presi-
dent HObart's body viii be placed in
the ground It is the intention Of the
family to erect a tomb upon the plot Of
land where Miss Fannie Hobart lies
and beside whose body it was generally
supposed the body OF Mr.. Hobart would
be placed The work viii pro bably be
commenced before long, so 1t is doubt
full if the body Of the vice president
will be removed from its present rest
ing place until the tomb Of the family
Is erected

ROOT FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
The Present Secretary OF War Is Almost
Certain to BE Mr.. MckInley's Running
Mate In the Campaign Next Year.

Washington, Nov. 2s--The presi-
dents closest friends have not heard
from him a single expression as to the
vice presidential nomination next year.
So long as Vice President Hobart lived,
the president never discussed the ques-
ton of succession on the ticket, even
when it became plain that some one
else must be chosen. In the sense that
the president has manifested any de
sire. It can be said that the secre-
tarv Of war, Mr.. Root, IS the admins
tratiOn candidate for the vice presi-
Dental nomination

PROGRESS OF BoER WAR.
The British said to Have Captured an In
POrtant Town Near Kimberley, with
100000 Rounds Ammunition.


Cape Town, Nov. est is reported
that Gen. Methuen has captured Honey
Nest KlOOf, ten miles north Of Gras
Pan, and 2, 600, 900 rounds Of ammuni-
tion.
London, Nov. 2s.-The war Office
posted the following dispatch, dated
Cape Town:
Lord Methuen reports that he
moved Saturday with the Ninth bri-
gade, the mounted corps, the naval
brigade and two batteries, the guards
following with the baggage. Near
Gras Pan about ten miles north of
Belmont, on the railway line to Kim
berley), 2, 500 Beers, with six guns and
two machine guns, opposed him
''The action began at six a m. Our
batteries fired shrapnel very accurately
till the heights seemed clear. Then
the naval brigade and infantry ad-
vanced to the assault. The fighting
was desperate until ten a N, when
the heights were carried. The Beers
retreated on the line, where the Ninth
lancers were placed to intercept them
The result was not known at the time
Of telegraphing. The artillery took
immediate advantage Of the enemy's
retire ment.
The enemy showed the greatest
stubOOrnness and must have suffered
grea tly- Twenty were buried 1t is
know that 81 were killed and IS
wounded. More than so horses were
found dead In one place One battery
ire ed 500 rounds
British Lost I9s Men at Gras Pan.
London, Nov. ga dispatch has
been received here from Gen. Butler
giving a list Of casualties among the
troops engaged in what was hitherto
known here as the battle Of Gras Pan,
but which is now officially designated
as the battle of Enslin. It proves, as
anticipated, that the British success
was heavily bought. The losses an
nOunced to-day added to the naval bril-
gade casualties previously notified,
make a grand total Of 198 as the cost
of Gen. Methuen's second battle. The
Y Orkshires apparently bore with the
naval brigade the brunt Of the fight
ing, as there were, in addition to three
Of the officers, IS Of the rank and file
killed, wounded and missing. The fact
that the list contains the casualties of
the Ninth lancers seems to dispose Of
the fears that the cavalry was sur
rounded and captured.
