DEMAND FOR SMALL COINS
Mats Turning 0ut Dimes. Quarters
aud Half DoIIars ss Rapidly
az Possible.

"Dimes. quarters and half dollars are
being turned out by all the mints as
rapidly ~ they can be produced" said
an officer Of the treasury, THE demand
for fractional currency and silver dol
lars IL unprecedented. The requests
do not come from one section of the
country, but from every section. As
fast as the coin can be minted Il Ia
shipped 20 those who have called for a.
Usually the demand for this currency
does not begin until the autumn, but
this year orders for large quantities
have been coming In for more than four
weeks, II Is estimated that the orders
received at the treasury department
will average over 100000 In fractional
currency n day"
Treasurer Roberts said the demand
was due ca the activity OF business. An
order was issued 20 the California mint
August l, he said. TO turn cut Sl50o 900
worth ot dimes, quarters and halves a
month until further notice, for the use
ot the Pacific coast only. Another thing
mentioned by Treasurer Roberts was
the increased demand for pennies In the
west aud south, where comparatively
few OF these coins have previously been
used. lie attributed the increased use
Of pennies To the war revenue act. " hlch
requires the use of Internal revenue
stamps ON telcgrams. checks. etc.

II Is found that the new engine. on
account Of the greater heating surface
of its boiler. due TO It's cylindrical form,
easily runs the steam pressure up be-
yond the ordinary mark. On one of its
trips the safety valves were set at $50
pounds, aud the steam pressure was
soon run up to io5 pounds.
In an ordinary engine the steam can
only be run up 20 about seven pounds

HISTORY OF THE DEAL
How the United states seesrea the
suhmIssIos of the suItan
of suIu.

An interesting story was afioat in
connection with the agreement made
between the sultan OF suIu and this
government by which the sultan shall
receive salary from Unele Sam. II
was to the effect that an arrangement
had been made with the sultan OF Tur-
key to use his influence with the sui
tan OF Sulu and induce the latter 10 rec
ognize the sovereignty of rfTts govern
ment. In return for his kind Offices
this government. it was said, agreed
not to press ats claims for indemnity
for the outrages perpetrated upon
American missionaries and the de-
struction OF their property In Turkey
with too much harshnesA.
The sultan OF sulu and his followers
are MohammedanA, and as the Sick
Man of the East" belongs to the same
sect, he is looked upon by the Moros
after fashion as the head of their re-
ligion
As the story goes, Mr.. Strauss, the
American minister at Constantinople,
made the agreement with the Turkish
sultdiis re ItBftsthiaiiFthf anu HDfu was
sent TO the sultan OF snlu TO bow TO
the viii of the United States. This was
interpreted in the nature Of an order.
and when Gen. Bates arrived at the
palace of the sultan the savage was in
a coneiliatory mood, and ready TO yield
10 any demand, provided, however, he
should not be deprived OF his income.
1t was an easy matter, therefore. for
the army officer 20 reach a satisfactory
agreement and arrange the details by
which the sultan should yield his ter
rit0ry to his brother"
At the state department many In
quiries we're made as TO the truth Of
the story, but the officials profeSsed to
know nothing OF II.
