N Correspondent of inc London Times Brings Them to This Country WIfh a Leffer Of Con- dolence from Mataafa.

Washington, Sept. 15.-The president received in audience at the White House this afternoon MT. John George Leigh, who has spent several months in Samoa as special correspondent of the London Times and is now on his return journey to England.
 While in one of the back villages of Upolu, MT. Leigh learned that a watch believed to have belonged to either Lieutenant Lansdal.a or Ensign Monaghan, the two officers of the cruiser Philadelphia who were killed taafa, had been found and was in the possession Of a native. He at once communicated with Mataafa, whom he had visited only a few days previously and promptly received a reply from the high chief assuring him that no effort would be spared to recover the relic, and begging him should the search prove successful, to restore the watch to the rightful owner With my heart felt condolences.
 A watch and chain with locket and other articles attached were hand ed to MT. Leigh and identified as the property of the late Lieutenant Lans- dale. A few days later the cor respondent left Samoa for San Fran cisco, where he met the young widow of the lamented officer and placed the trinkets in her possession.
 MT. Leigh this afternoon handed to the president a letter from Matadfa referring to the watch and lamenting the Hate unhappy war" Mataafa's letter concludes: May it be the will of God that there may never again be strife between America and the Sa- moans, and that the three powers will recognize my submission to their will and desire for good government

HAM SMELLING AS A BUSINESS.

Peculiar Occupation for Which Only ew
Are Qualified.
Kansas City Star.
The hamSmeller's only tools are a
long steel trier and his nose. He stands
in barrel to keep his clothes from be-
ing soiled by the dripping brine, and
the hams are brought to him, and he
plunges his sharp-pointed trier into it,
withraws it and passes it swiftly be-
meath his nose. The trier always goes
down to the knuckle point.
In testing meat in that manner the
man with the trier judges by the slight
est shade of difference between the
smell Of one piece of meat and another.
The smell of the meat is almost univer-
sally sweet, and that is what he smells;
the slightest faint or deviation from
the sweet smell is therefore apprecia-
bic. 1t is not the degree OF faint that
re expects to find, but the slightest
odor that is not sweet.
When he detects an odor he throws
the meat aside, and if it is notunwhole-
some it is sold as rejected meat, but
if 1t is tainted it goes into the render
ing tank. The Manchester smells meat
from Z a. m. until o'clock at night,
and his sense must never become jaded
or inexact, or his usefulness would be
at an end.
Ham-testing is not pursuit danger

posed to be, but the ham-smeller with
cold in his head is like piano player

r. Coleman, an ensign on the battle
ship Iowa, who was to have been court
martialed, yesterday, on a charge OF
having been intoxicated while the YES
sci was at the Puget Sound Naval Sta

with a navy revolver. Coleman was
found with the pistol in his hand. He
had fired first at his head, but his aim
was bad and the ballgrazed his skull.
He had evidently prepared for death,
as his effects were in perfect order and
he had written several letters to his
family and relatives in Syracuse, n. Y.
Coleman, who is about IS years of age,
is a recent graduate of the Annapolis
Naval Academy. Ill-health and worry
of the fact that he was to be court
martialed are supposed to have led to
his act.

Special Washington Correspondence
WASHINGTON, D. c., August IL
The obvious criticism which may be Of
fered to the policy of the new Secretary
of War, so far as outlined. is that it
is too exclusively military in character.
Why should it be considered absolute
ly necessary to send a force Of $4,000
men to tire Philippines and crush
Aguinaldo before anything else is
done? Is there any real necessity OF
waging more than defensive war
fare? Would|it not be possible to set
up a civil government in the Philip
pines and to extend cur rule over
large portion of the territory without
entering on the expensive military
campaign which is proposed as pre-
requisite to the erection Of civil au-
thority? These are some OF the ques-
lions which naturally occur to The civil
ian observer. Just as naturally they DO
net occur to military men interested
in the pursuit Of military glcry, in mag
nifying their own Importance, in secur-
ing pursuit of military regime aping
continental establishments and meth
DDS
There is possibly such thing, as
for want Of better name, may be cali
cd the civil conquest of the island OF
Luzon. It has been asserted over and
over again by Otis that the insurgents
were a mere fraction Of the population.
If so there must be large tracts Of
country occupied by thousands of PEG
pie where a civil government could be
set up ard maintained by natives alone.
Otis has not attempted to occupy sew
eral important ports of Luzon, and al
lows the insurgents to collect customs
at these ports. Here is a neglected op-
portunity to get control of the situa-
tion. Small garrisons at each of these
rorts would support civil government
ever a considerable adjacent territory.
Aguiraldo would not be able to hold out
long against the allegiance Of the bulk
CT the people to the United States.
A little more craftsmanship and a
great deal less military laundering is
what is wanted in the Philippines.
The attempt Of the treasury depart
ment to relieve
THE CURRENCY FAMINE
is an extremely instructive lesson in
governmental finance. There is a
widespread demand for currency of
small denominations for the ordinary
business transactions of the people.
Paper money is the kind wanted, not
silver dollars or gold dollars Or five
dollar gold pieces. To meet this need
the best the treasury can do is to is
sue gold certificates of the denomin-
alton OF $40, with the open confession
that even this measure will be of doubt
full utility. Not one dollar will be add
ed to the sum of money in the country
by this maneuver. Its effect will be
simply to add to the number of $40
bills, when the demand is for ones and
twos. This may prove relief in some
directions, but it certainly cannot help
the small business transactions in
which the small bills are needed.
But two ways are now open for the
injection of new blood into the cur
rency circulation of the country. One
is the issue of National Bank notes,
and the other is
THE COINAGE OF GOLD.
The first is an exceedingly clumsy
method, the operation of which de-
