1.-THE broad proposition in the currency
act OF 1900 is that it establishes monetary
integrity, and I'm that way its effect on
national banks is profound. Looking at the
letter OF the statute, its direct influence is
a secondary and almost a minor considera-
ton. Banks are necessary institutions, and
the national banking system is the best yet
devised. Notwithstanding the views of some
peripatetic critics of the system whose rep
Ctations for sound and accurate knowledge
OF any subject are vague. But. in the alb
sence of a fixed statutory standard OF value
as the gold dollar and ample means pro-
vided for maintaining ii such. we have
had varying and unfortunate system, and
many people have subscribed TO the rank
heresy that more and cheaper money would
relieve bard times such as prevailed in 1893,
and the Ignorance and prejudice OF the peo-
pie have been practiced upon by long
haired apostles OF cheap money until IL be-
came necessary TO make hard fight for
the financial honor Of the Nation. and the
result has been the enaciment of this law.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Grnnd-poIite Vaudeville.

The promise of "a galaxy of stars" for
the New Grand last night brought out an
immense audience of star-gazers. The
weather was propitious, and no cloudy acts
obscured the display. Sager Midgley and
Gertie Carlisle, in their Juvenile sketch,
After School," were as refreshing as the
breezes that come with springtime. They
are unlike any other comic team ever here
and the ripples OF laughter they started
never ceased flowing and submerged every
part of the audience. Next, indeed first
were the French maxim place au DANES"

Florence Modena, his graceful helpmeet,
met every expectation of refined amuse-

the substantial basis of intelligence and

more welcome than they. Frank Jones

PORTO RICAN AFFAIRS.
The Principal Topic nj Special
Cabinet Meeting.

The Cabinet held a special meeting yes
terday to consider the Porto Rican situa-
ton. Ordinarily the meeting would have
taken place today. but the presence of the
President in the city for a short time en-
route to Canton fastened the session. Tie
Administration was unwilling to have
full week go by without Cabinet confer
ence, as would have been inevitable had
not the session of yesterday been called.
The question of civil appointments under
the Porto Rican bill for that island was
taken up. A canvass has been made OF
the present civil officials of the island as
TO their character and ability, and Cabi-
net officer said that the majority OF APP
pointments to be recommended would be
of no especial political significance.
Another matter which came up at the
Cabinet meeting was the matter OF secur-
ing courts fer Porto Rico in the period
between May l and October l. The native
tribunals will be discontinued on the for
mer date The new courts will not be es-
tablished until October /. The question OF
securing a judiciary in the mean time has
given the natives some worry. The Cabi-
net agreed that the United States courts
could hold special sessions in the interim.
Some difficulty is found in getting men 10
fill the judicial places. The salaries are
modest and jurists of good repute have
been loath to accept the places. AS re-
suit, there is trouble in getting accept
able material for judges.
The additional allowances provided by
Secretary Root for Army officers perform
ing civil duties in Cuba received brief con-
sideration. Secretary Root declared that
General Brooke. Immediately after his ap
pointment to the governor generalship
asked to be relieved. as he could not main
tain himself on his army a'ary. The De-
partment officials agreed to make an extra
allowance, amounting altogether to s11.0C0
annually, for the additional expenses of
General Brooke, General Ludlow, Colonel
Bliss, and one or two others in command
There are now but three heneiciaries of

OBERLIN CARRIERS CASE.
The Former Captain Must Serve His
Prison Sentence.


Chief Justice Fuller, in the Supreme
Court, yesterday handed down an opinion
in the case Of Oberlin NJ. Carter. formerly
captain in the Engineer Corps, U. S. A.
dismissing the appeal from the decision of
the Circuit Court for the Southern district
OF New York. 1t is underwood that this
opinion is the final disposition of the case
so far as the courts are concerned, and
that Carter will serve the remainder of his
sentence of five years a; he military prison
at Fort Leavenworth.
The case was disposed of by the Supreme
Court on a writ OF error to the Court OF
Appeals for the Second circuit. an appeal
from its judgment affirming the judgment

writ of habeas corpus. .,,r., st.e-,f.5
Chief Justice Fuller said announcing the
opinion, that the case had been before the
Supreme Court once before on petition
for writ of certiorari TO the Court of APP
peals to send the case up 10 the Supreme
Court for review which had been denied
the same day. These actions. the Chief
Justice said, could rot be sustained and
were therefore dismissed.
Solicitor General Richards asked that the
mandate go down at once-that there had
been much delay in the case This was OPP
posed by Mr.. Rose. counsel for Carter who
said the captain was serving out his SEN
tence at Governors Island. and no dar1age
would result from delay.
Later it was determined to issue the
mandate today. Upon the receipt of
that by the officials having Carter in
charge lie will be sent 10 Fort Leaven-

WORK OF SPANISH swINDLERs.

United States Consul Horace Lee Wash
ington. at Valencia, Spain, reports to the
State Department the arrest by the civil
authorities there of one of the members
of a complete organization which has been
engaged from Valencia, Cartageaa. and
Barcelona for the past eight years, in a
wholesale swindling game directed against
persons in the United States.
AS explained by Mr. Washington the
plan consists in the sending of a notice to
some United States citizen TO the effect
that a prisoner, dying in the Castle
Fort" penal station in Valencia as
left a large fortune TO the United States
citizen subject to his undertaking 10 care
for an orphan child left by the deceased
The scheme is worked with great in
geauity, the letter being apparently I'D
dressed by the chaplain of the Castle
Fort who has received the communica-
tion in confidence from the dying prisoner,
and the papers bearing what appear to be
genuine stamps of the parish charge and
other marks of Identification. II is need
less to state that all of these are forged
or surreptitiously used.
Mr.. Washington says that the scheme
has been practiced in many sections Of
this country to his definite knowledge in

local officials for their activity in the
case he now reports, but says that owing
to the light penalties imposed by Spanish
law for attempts at swindling and the
great difficulty in obtaining evidence to
convict the perpetrators of the swindle,
it is futile to regard the scheme as sup
pressed.

FORMER PRESIDENT HARRISON
He Appears in n VIII Case Before
the Sunreme Cnurf

Former President Harrison appeared be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United
states yesterday. When the court finished
announcing its opinions, without asking
the customary question ANY application
for admission" the Chief Justice leaned
over the desk and said: Mr. Harrison"
Thereupon the former President arose
and announced his business. He stated
that he was OF counsel for defence

in the early 70's. which had been denied
in the State courts
General Duffield rose and confirmed the
statement. Chief Justice Fuller then said
to the clerk: Respondents have leave I'M
til next Monday to file their brief
Mr.. Harrison made a profound bow,
in recognition of the courts leniency. and
left the room. to take train to New York.
where he presides over the Ecumenical
Missionary Conference in session there.
The relation of Porto Rico to the United
States is involved in two cases filed in the
Supreme Court yesterday. They grow out of
the action of the provisional courts OF that
island and established by Governor General
Davis in sentencing number of prisoners
to Imprisonment for thirty days for viola
ton of the regulations established for con-
Quoting the recent election in the island.
One Of them, Ramon Baez, was sent 10
prison and then made an appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States for
leave to file petition for writ of habeas
corpus and for writ of certiorari to
bring up the case for review here. This
petition the court denied for the reason
that before 1t could act Baezs term would
have expired.
Yesterday Mr.. McKenney entered motions
for leave to file petitions for certiorari to
the provisional court of Porto Rico in the
matter of Thomas Vasquez and that of
Jose Julian Vidal, and fifteen others. The
petition asks merely for a writ of certio-
rari as at common law and sets forth the
facts contained in the petition on behalf
of Baez. The petitioners are not In prison.
and likely will not be incarcerated pending
this action, SO that there is no need for
haste on the part of the court Should 1t
take jurisdiction and issue the writ. at
torneys do not believe a decision will be
reached before next term.
