An Additional Safeguard.

The Augusta, Hallowell & Gardiner
Electric Railroad is always anxious to
do all in it's power for the safety and
comfort of it's passengers. In accord
ance with this policy it has recently
adopted a policy which will prevent
the barest possibility of any passenger
or employee being struck by pole
while riding on the foot boards of a
car. All poles are placed at least four
feet from the track.

CALL HIM A TRAITOR.
BuencaminO Is Looked Upon with Suspicion
by All Glasses In Manila-Natives
Threaten Aguinaldo's Mother.

Manila, Nov. 2s.-Buencamino has
been lodged in comfortable quarters at
the police station with his family.
Other persons are not allowed to COM
municate with him. He is classed as
being the most slippery parsonage con-
nected with the insurgents. He was a
colonel in the Spanish army and a
traitor to Spain. At the time of the
first instruction he tried to sell out to
the Filipinos and his present imprison-
ment excites no sympathy among his
people, while the Spaniards think it is
mistaken leniency for the Americans
to refrain from shooting him on the
Luneta, the fate dealt out to better
men in the anti-Spanish uprising.
Aguinaldo's youngest child. who was
recently christened at Tarlac with
great ceremony, died and was buried
at Dayamb ban in Aguinaldo's fight.
Gen. Wheaton reports that natives
have threatened violence to Aguinaldo's
mother, who is now sheltered in con-
vent, with a guard. Gen. Otis has Or
dered her to be brought to Manila for
safety.

Is 60 Miles from Manila.

Washington, Nov. 81 - Admiral
Dewey called at the navy department
yesterday, in response to request from
Secretary Long, to discuss the question
of establishing naval station at
Cavite or other point near Manila.
Such a station is now in operation at
Cavite, but it 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
to 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 60 miles
from Manila, as preferable to Cavite, as
this is fine harbor of capable depth
of water and many natural advantages
for making this strong naval estab
liShment

NEW CURRENCY MEASURE.
Caucus Committee Report for Presentation
to Congress Has Been Prepared
Gold the Standard.

Washington, Nov. 2s.-The general
currency bill prepared by the repub
lican caucus committee appointed by
the last congress has received its final
revision at the hands of the members
and will be given to the press thi.
afternoon for publication after a
copy has been mailed to each repub
lican representative in congress. The
measure represents the unanimous con.
illusions of the committee and will be
called up for conside ration at the eau.
Gus of republican members of the
house, which is to be held, probably,
next Satu rday.
Accompanying the bill is a repor,
setting forth at length the reasons and
necessity, in the opinion of the com
mittee. for the proposed legislation.
The Evening Star yesterday prin ted
the following as some of the chief fea,
lures of the bill, and which, in the
main, are probably fairly accurate:
An amendment to the coinage laws. making
2S5s grains Of gold, 500 parts fine, the standard
coin measure.
An amendment to the greenback reissue ac
OF 1878 providing that those treasury notes shall
be redeemed with gold, and when so redeemed
shall not be reissued except in exchange fol
gold. This provision will prevent the operation
OF the endless chain which hitherto has beer
the means to raid the gold reserve.
An amendment to the specie resumption act
directing the maintenance of gold reserve of
not less than 600, the maintenance OF
the reserve at that figure being entirely
discretionary to the secretary of the treasury.
An amendment to the national bank law au-
thorizing banks to be organized with a capital
stock of S2o, 600.
At present the minimum is $4,000. Another
amendment to the same act authorizing banks
to issue notes to the par value of the bonds they
have on deposit to secure circulation. At pres
ent the limit is 90 per cent. A third amendment
to this act reduces the taxation on bank circula-
ton to one-tenth of one per cent This tax is
to pay the expense of engraving and printing
the notes. TIE present rate more than meets
this expense

II is safe to pay little heed to those
tales that Russia is about to assail
Japan. As the fighting, in such a case,
would be in or near japan, Russia
would be at such a disadvantage that
her defeat would be morally certain.
Japan is too powerful a nation to be
attacked by any country in the world
on her own ground with much pros
pect of an easy triumph. Japan can
assemble far more vessels and soldiers
in her own country or in the neighbor-
ing parts of China than Russia could
muster In those quarters

There is no hitch, however. the United
