INCREASE IN CIRCULATION
ROBERTS EXPLAINS
SCARCITY OF NOTES.
Increase In Circulation Is Chiefly in
Gold Coin and the People Will
Not Use It.

! Washington, March 25.-United. States
Treasurer Ellis H. Roberts says that the
impression that the lacks of paper money
is due to enforced Withdrawals of notes
| by the treasury is not true.
1.-The total circulation per capita in the
country, including coin and paper" said
Mr.. Roberts, has increased from s25.S3
March l, 1898, to s25.51 March l. 1899. This
| increase has been progressive for several
years. The increase has, it is true. been
largely in gold coin, from Sab, 293, 591 March
| 1, 1896, to STOP, 305, 269 at the first of the
current month. You will observe that the
growth of gold coin has been $257, oil ,67S.
but in total circulation for that period the
growth has been $500, 100, 555, showing a net
increase of $143, 0SS,S77 outside of gold coin.
There has been an increase within these
years of every item of circulation except
gold certificates, treasury notes and cur
rency certificates. The silver certificates
in the he. hands SO of the people are more than
in 1896 by $63, S54, $50; the United States
notes more by SCI, S25, and the national
bank notes more by $50, 724,344. The gold
bullion in the treasury ran up from $685.
S21, asa March l, 1885, to $127, $50. O67 March l,
1899.
There does not seem to me to be a
deficiency in the circulating medium. The
abundance of gold coin does not give re
lief because of the prejudice of bankers
and their customers against its use. AS
a remedy the national banks might add to
the volume of their notes. But they do

a, policy. The only other pathway under
existing laws to additional circulation is
in the use of gold. Coin is with our
habits less convenient than paper but
other countries use it.
THE endless chain is no longer in
operation No legal tender notes have
been offered for gold in a long time. That
kind of demand for redemption is for the
present obsolete. Indeed my impression
is that the prospect of its revival is slight.
The excess of our exports over our i'm
ports is so large and so continuous that
we are not likely to have to ship gold
to the old world for some years to come.
Besides that, and even more important.
the increase in our production of gold
is strong safeguard for the treasury. 1t
is at present and promises to be, an en-
during break to the, endless chain
Gold is in such relative excess that no
one wants to give up legal tender notes, or
indeed any sort of paper for it.
THE treasury department strains every
nerve to meet the demand for notes, and
especially those of small denomination.
At the request of the treasury the bureau
of engraving and printing is printing and

TROOPS WITHDRAWN FROM PANA
Two Hundred Armed Deputies Are
Now On Guard

Pana, Ills, March 25.-The last of the
soldiers, members of company L, Fifth
infantry, Peoria, in charge of Captain
Couch, who have been doing riot duty
here for the past ninety days, took
their departure today and the situation
is now in charge of Chief Deputy Sher-
if Frank Cheney and 200 special dep
uty sheriffs, armed with Springfield ri
fies.
Sheriff Dowpey issued a proclamation
declaring that peace must be kept, law
lessneSs and rioting cease and that all
violators of the law will be promptly
arrested and vigorously prosecuted.
The grand jury adjourned last night
and failed to return indictments against
miners and negroes who participated in
the recent riots.
A company of fifty negroes arrived
today from Clinton, Tenn. This is pay
day with both negroes, non-union and
white union miners, consequently the
negroes are not working, but parading
about the business section of the city.
The deputies fear an outbreak may
occur at any time and are on duty.

OFFICERS WERE CENSURED.
Court of Inquiry May Investigate the
Minnesota Case.

Washington, March Ex-senator Da-
Wis of Minnesota was at the war de-
partment today, making some inquiry
regarding the recent action of General
Young in censuring the officers of the
Fifteenth Minnesota. He was informed
that the matter had been referred back
to the proper authorities, with direc-
tons that in case the colonel of the
regiment desired it, a court of inquiry
would be ordered, and all the testi-
mony regarding the conduct of all the
officers could be taken. The colonel of
the Fifteenth regiment is Captain Har-
ry Lee Hauser of the Fifteenth infan-
try.
ST. Paul, Mimi, March Ex-Governor
Lind today sent to the legislature a
communication reciting the riot of the
Fifteenth Minnesota volunteers in
camp near Augusta, Ca, and the sub
sequent courtmartial and sentence of
the leaders. He stated that the Off
GERS had requested a court of inquiry
ON the charge in General Young's ap-
prevail of the sentences that their con-
duct showed gross incompetence and
cowardice, but it was refused by the
secretary of war. A joint resolution
was Immediately introduced and
passed, petitioning the secretary of war
to grant such court.

he killed a man, Sept, 5, 1895. The man
was a reputable German merchant
named Simmonds, who was held in high
esteem in the community. The killing
grew out of dispute in Simmonds'
house over some property he had sold
to Randolph, who was living under the
assumed name of Charles Radford.
Randolph admitted the killing and
was thrown into prison. His Alabama
friends, notably ex-Secretary Herbert.
interested themselves in his behalf and
induced the state department to employ
attorneys to defend him.
Randolph was transferred to Medilin
on the ground that he could not obtain
a fair trial at CALI. He was convicted
and sentenced to death and then be-
gan protracted legal struggle, during
which United States Minister McKin-
ney, by direction of Secretar.- Olney,
managed to appeal the case AID secure
re-trial. Randolph's defense has been
continued actively by the present adj
ministration at the urgent solicitation
of ex-Secretary Herbert, but it is be-
heved that this action of the jury re-
ported by Secretary McNally marks the
end and that Randolph must pay the
penalty of his crime.

DEATH OF GENERAL BAILEY.
New York Veteran and Once Prom
ent Politician.

New York, March 25.-General Isaac
H. Bailey, 10 years old, was found
dead in his room at the Waidorf-As-
toria yesterday Death was due to ap-
oplexy. General Bailey's daughter, Mrs.
Heintzelman of Washington, D. c., was
notified and arrived to take charge of
the body. General Bailey was vet
eran of the civil war.
His name was a prominent one in
New York politics more than twenty
five years ago. Soon after he had come
from his native state of Maine, and was
doing well in the hide and leather bus
mess, he identified himself with the Re
publican party, and in 1857 he was made
police commissioner. He resigned in
1860, but remained prominent in Repub-
lican clubs and committees until 1871
When he was nominated on the Repub-
lican ticket for congressman. He failed
of election, however, and was made
chairman of the commission of chart
ties and corrections appointed by Mayor
Vance. Recently he was the publisher
Of the Shoe and Leather Reporter.

RANDOLPH MUST DIE.
Southern Man Convicted of Murder
In Columbia.

Washington, March 25.-The follow
ing cablegram was received at the state
department today from Secretary of
Legation McNally, of the United States
legation at Bogota, Colombia:
Randolph tried yesterday at Mede-
lin. The jury has returned a verdict of
deliberate homicide
The cablegram is dated March 81 and
marks in all probability one of the most
prolonged efforts ever made to save the
life of an American citizen. Francis c.
Randolph is of one of the best families
in the south. He is a man of fine quail
ties and obtained the position of judge
in Alabama, but left there, as the Off
cial reports state, under a cloud. He
went to Colombia and it was at the lit
tie town of CALI in that country that

GENERAL COMPTON'S MISSION.
Goes to Honolulu to Seize the Crown
Lands.

San Francisco, March 25.-The Call
says: The mission of General Charles
e. Compton to the Hawaiian Islands is
the subject of great speculation in fed
eral circles in this city. General Comp
ton left his post as conmandant CT the
Presidio and sailed on the Alameda a
few days ago for Honolulu. While no
one is in position to explain author
itatively the purpose of the distin-
gushed soldiers journey, it is under
stood from excellent sources that he
has gone to Honolulu to seize the
crown lands of the former monarchy
and by authority of the American gov
eminent settle a dispute of ownership
that involves property worth millions
of dollars.
The Call adds: 1t is something more
than a coincidence that Paul Neumann
hastily left Washington a short time
ago and is now on his way to Homo
lulu. Neumann is one of the closest adj
visers of the ex-queen, and in any in

London, March 25.-Mr. Sydney
