Represented at Exposition Congress

Correspondence of The Evening Star
PHILADELPHIA, August s, 1889
Ii President Diaz of Mexico accepts the
invitation OF the management of the ma
uohai export exposition to be present at
the opening of the international CONNER
cial congress, October 10, when, it is be-
lIeved, President Mckinley will preside, he
VIII Ind many of his prominent country
men here to greet him. President Diaz will
be at Chicago October 8, and, of course.

and most Of his staff in full uniform
Arriving in Philadelphia, he will find the
governors of half a dozen Mexican states
delegates from cities and trades bodies of
the republic and hundreds of the most sue
ceSsful business men of his country.
IL would seem that only within the past
fortnight has our sister republic fully
awakened to realization of the impor-
lance to her of the exposition and congress
The MANAGEMENT of these projects during
the last few days has been pleased and sur
prlsed by the news received from all parts
OF Mexico, and the prominence of the men
accepting the invitation to be present fndi-
Gates that the political, industrial and COM
mercial interests of Mexico will have full
representation.
Don Armo Gonzales formerly minister of
finance, is expected to make an address
upon the trade relations of the two coun-
tries, and other eminent orators are ex-
pected to take part in the international de-
bates
An official envoy from Mexico viii be in
attendance, but has not yet been named by
the Mexican government. The state of To-
luca has named its governor Senior Don ].
V. Villado, as its official envoy. Gov. VII
lado will be accompanied by members of
his staff and delegation of the foremost
business men of the commonwealth. TolE-
ca is one of the important mining states of
the Mexican republic and the appointment
of its governor is viewed by the exposition
management as good omen to the mining
machinery interests which will have exhib-
its at the big show.
The governor of the federal district of

ception to Presidents Mckinley and Diaz
From the letter to Gov Rodriguez it is al
most certain that Gen. Diaz hopes to be
present.
Minister j. F. Mena of the department of
communication and public works writes
that he will attend the congress in the
event that President Diaz does

FOREIGN CONSULs AT MANILA.
Some Conjecture as to Their Action on
AEuinaldO's Appeal.

The course which the foreign consuis al
Manila will pursue in connection with
Aguinaldo's communication Is matter of
some conjecture among officials here. At
the State Department there is no DISPOSE
ton to limit the consuls in forwarding the
appeal to their respective governments. As
rule it is quite unusual for consuls hold
ing eXequaturs from a friendly govern
ment, and having official relations with it,
to carry on communication with an insur-
recttonary leader. But it is appreciated
that in this case the consuls are the inno-
cent victims of Aguinaldo's letter writing.
AS military authority is supreme in the
Philippines, any questions arising as to the
course of the consuls would probably be
referred to General Otis, but there is no in
timation here that he has been advised of
the address, or that he will have any objec-
tons to its transmission by the consuls. 1t
is rather expected, however, that the con-
suls will take occasion to advise with the
military authorities as to the proprieties of
the situation before taking final action.

GOLD STANDARD IN INDIA
Director Of the Mint Roberts Talks on the
Subject,
1t VIII Not Cause Disturbance in Any
of the Great Money
Centers.

Mr. Roberts, the director of the mint,
speaking of the change in the Indian cur
rency, says:
The report of the committee does little
more than reaffirm and declare the perma-
nency of the policy adopted in 1893, when
the minis were closed to the free coinage of
silver The mints were closed originally
because the decline in silver had become so
great as to embarrass the Indian govern
ment, which received its revenues in silver
and had to make a large share of its dis
bursements in gold. Hard times followed
in India, attributed by those who criticised
the government to the closing of the minis,
but attributed by the government to the
famine and other causes. There was con-
siderable agitation in favor of reopening
the mints, and the business world was in
no little uncertainty about the future. 1t
was considered highly desirable that the
governments future policy should be def
nitely assured, and accordingly something
over year ago committee of eleven was
appointed by the indian office in London
to investigate the whole subject. The COM
mittee has published two volumes of testi-
mony, and now gives its own conclusions.
1t is unanimous in finding that the minis
should not be reopened to silver.
The Committees Conclusions.
''The committee pronounces the efforts of
the government tduheld the value of the
rupee at 10 pSAlCe d SoCceSS, ana hOiQS the
sale of council bills at that figure to be proof
that India already has the gold standard
1t hesitates, however, to recommend the
final step, wiz That the Indian government
shall give gold in exchange for the silver
rupees current. They say that, in their
opinion, it is not necessary for the govern
ment to bind itselfIto do this
1.-The government has no gold reserve nor
has it the means to obtain stock of gold
at once. 1t could only be done by the issue
of bonds, or IN installments through taxa
ton, and it ID not practicable to increase
the taxes of indiaato any considerable de-
gree. The committee concludes that the
requirement of a reserve may be left to the
future, and that the present silver currency
of India may be maintained at fixed value
to gold by suppl ying such quantities of gold
as are needed for foreign remittances,
That, they say, they regard as the princi-
pal use of gold reserve In fact, that is
precisely the service performed by the gold
reserve of the United States. The Indian
committee refers to the examples of the
United States. 1t is recommended that the
coinage Of gold, and that the British SOW
ereign be made a legal tender, upon the
theory that gold Will fow in as more money
is needed, and that eventually a consider
able share of the currency will thus come
to be of gold. The significance of the re-
mort is In the determination not to reonen
the minis The policy of India NAV now
be presumed to be settled"
No Danger of Disturbance.
Being asked II there was any reason to
expect such a movement of gold to India
as might disturb money markets in the

BRIGHTW0OD RAILROAD TRACKS.
authoritative Statement Made as to
Their Location.

Considerable speculation is being indulg-
ed in by those persons using the Bright
wood avenue and 9TH street roads for driy-
ing and hauling purposes as to the location
of the tracks of the Brightwood railway
the reconstruction of which is now in pro-
gress. Fear is expressed that the reloca-
ton OF the tracks will seriously interfere
with the use of the roadway
1t is explained by the engineer depart
ment of the District government that from
Florida avenue to where the METROPOLITAN
railroad runs its cars into its siding Bright
wood avenue is about fifty-one feet wide
from curb to curb, there being sixteen and
two-tenths feet between the tracks an the
west side of the street and twenty feet
on the east side. TT is position will If
Is SAID, be maintained " the new tracks
from Pomeroy street to the Rock Creek
Churcn road the new tracks will be plac-
ed In the center of the street From Rock
creek Church road to the District line thew
Wi, Wiii De located In the center of proposed
ninety-foot roadway. which means that
they will be nearly in the center of the
present roadway. The present roadway
from the Rock Creek Church road to the
District line, 1t is stated, is of an average
width of about sixty-six feet wide. yarvinp
from ffty-seven to sixty-six feet between
FENCES. The new double tracks of the rail-
way VIII occupy about eighteen feet, or
about three feet more than they do at
present The trolley poles will be placed
between the tracks, and thus the unoccu-
pied part of the existing roadway will run
from thirty-nine to forty-three feet, al
though from the Rock Creek Church road
to the District line the tracks will be a
little nearer the west side of the roadway
From the Rock Creek Church road to
Shepherd road the land for widening the
thoroughfare to ninety feet has been ac-
Quired on the east side, and also from the
Rock Creek Church road to Howard ave-
nue. on the east side, or about from Pet
worth to Brightwood Park. This acquired
land is unimproved, but it Is thought that,
after the new tracks have been laid the
improvements can be made out Of funds
already on hand.

Machine Guns for Otis.

The War Department is making every
effort to comply with General Otis recent
request for number of machine guns in
order that they shall reach him in time for
the campaign expected to open with the dry
season. The department has decided not
to send to the Philippines the Sims-Dudley
guns, but will confine the selection to the
types now In use in the army.

Letters received from Washington
yesterday were not flattering as to
the prospects of the ratification OF
the Cherokee treaty. The infor-
nation is that the railroads are
opposing it, as are also those in
terested in mineral leases in the
Cherokee country. Dave Musk
rat, Daniel Gritts and John Henry
Dick, chaperoned by Dick Ad-
ans, are in Washington fighting
the treaty and claiming to repre-
sent the fullblOOds. The situation
at Washington is similar to what
it was IN the Cherokee nation prior
to the election namely: the ene-
mics of the Cherokees are seeking
to defeat the treaty, and for pur-
poses not patriotic. If the treaty
should be defeated it will be bad
for the Cherokees and they will
doubles know who to charge it up
to, both at home and abroad. The
Curtis bill will be the law and an
attempt will no doubt be made
to enforce it, but the chances are
good for defeating it in the courts,
but in the meantime the citizens
of the Cherokee nation will not get
titles to their homes.
