WHY INDIA's MINIS ARn CLOSED.
Committee Relieves circumstances
Demand Gold Standnrd

Washington, Aug 1O.-In diplomats
quarters copies OF the report just pre-
scented to the houses Of Parliament by the
committee which investigated the currency
OF India have been received. II is OIL
this report that Lord George Hamilton.
secretary of state for India, has based his
announcement within the last few days
that India would go to the sold standard.
This committee was made up of the most
influential statesmen and tinauclers OF
England.
The report first sets forth the origin
and present condition OF the money condi-
ton OF Europe, and then says:
We proceed to consider the question
whether in the light of the six years ex-
per!ence gained since 1898 It Is desira ble
to reverse The policy initiated in that year
and 20 reopen the Indian minis to the un-
restricted coinage of silver. In our opinion
measures for gradual re-openiug would he
so fully and Immediately discounted as to
defeat the prec objects for which they
are suggested. Ii is obvious moreover that
The certain prospect of a heavy fan In
coinage would at once drive capital from
India.
The policy of opening the miuts at
some future date to silver stands on a
different footing when urged by those who
look forward to an international agree
ment and consider that there is reasonable
hope of such an agreement within a linz
tied period Such persons aim directly
at a stable exchange between India and
the United Kingdom. and advocate delay
only in order that an International agree
ment may he reached.
with regard to this intention we con-
fine ourselves here to stating that the ne
gotiadon of 1897 with France and the
United States of America, having proved
fruitess. no fresh proposals so far as we
are aware have been or are being made
by any of the governments concerned
The report then discusses the principle
of the gold standard and says:
AT the present time The practical al
tentative to silver monOmetallism is a gold
standard-this is to say. god as the meas
ure of va.ue in India, either with a gold
currency or a gold reserve.
"Four-hfths OF the foreign trade of In
dia is with gold standard countries, and
for this reason it is desirable that India
should have the same measure of value
as those countries"

The First of Several Chinese PhysI-
clans who Have Grown wealthy.

From Lippincotts.
There are many Chinese physicians In
San Francisco and other cities of the Pa
cihc coast
ii Pc Tai was the first Of the Chinese
doctors to leave his countrymen and to
go boldly among the whites, advocating
his system of medicine and establishing a
lucrative practice among Caucasians. He
came to San Francisco in the early days
OF the gold excitement, and lived there
for nearly half "A century, dying in 1888
The returns from his practice for many
years before his death amounted to SIS. 900
a year. From $50 to 800 patients consulted
him every day, and people came to him
from all parts of the United States, in
Guiding New York and other large Eastern
tai establishment during his life, and left
a large fortune to his family al his death
Thousands Of people freely asserted that
his herbal remedies had cured them OF
obstinate chronic diseases after all other
means had failed These facts are beyond
dispute
In Los Angeles at the present time is
Incorporated a firm of Chinese physicians
following Ii Pc Tais methods. Its prbnci-
pal members and stock holders are two
Chinese physicians, a nephew and a son of
DR. Ii Pc Tai Both were educated at the
Imperial Medical College at Pekin, and
both also received training at Ii Pc Tafs
sanitarium In San Francisco. Both speak
English readily, and their practice is ex-
clusively among English-speaking people,
Los Angeles is a city of 10000 inhabitants,
and has some $50 physicians 1t IS COM
monty understood that with the possible
exception Of one or two firms Of 'adver-
Using doctors" this firm OF Chinese ply
sicians has more patrons than any other
physician or combination OF physicians in
the city.
Nearly the entire population OF Los An
ge1es consists of recent corners from the
East Therefore II will not do to argue
that they are deficient in intelligence. As
a rule. The poorer and more ignorant
classes cannot pay the rather high charges
demanded by the Chinese doctors, and one
finds among their patrons well-to-do peo-
pie, many women. business men. capital
isto, and a few professional men-lawyers.
Journalists, and even physicians. For the
most part they are persons suffering from
chronic disorders who have tired all the
other doctors" and consult the Cinnamon
as a last resort.
The office of this firm is upon one of the
favorite residence streets of the city. Il
Is a spacious and handsome dwelling, sur
rounded by lawns and flowers. Huge signs
Of blue and gold proclaim the names, titles
The only indications 10 distinguish the
