San Francisco Chronicle.
There is no obstacle in the way of pro-
viding the Filipinos with a good silver
coinage which will meet their requirements
and prejudices. Perhaps the possession of
these islands may provide method of
getting rid of lot of silver which is piled
up in the national treasury, involving
great deal of care and expense, but which,
now that we have the gold standard, it is
unnecessary to maintain. There is no sense
in employing a valuable commodity like
silver as a mere token money. Under ex-
listing circumstances there is no more rea-
son for having coins which are practically
mere representatives of money, and whose
intrinsic value is somewhere in the neigh
borhood OF fifty cents each. than there
would be for printing dollar greenbacks
on paper costing fifty cents for each note
printed. When this is once appreciated
Congress may be induced to recoin, as
rapidly as required, all of the standard
dollars into money available for use in
the Philippines. The eight or more mil
lions of people in the islands would speed
iiy absorb the whole amount we possess,
to their own great profit and to the relief
of the American taxpayer. who is paying
a pretty sum annually TO keep in idleness
a commodity which would be better en-
aloyed in doing its real work of helping 10
effect exchanges.

WASHINGTON, Dec 14-The report of
the director of the mint on the production
of gold and silver in the United States
during the calendar year 1899 shows only
slight variation from the approximate fig

The final figures are s71,053, 400 for gold and
$32 S5S, 200 for silver at it's average COM
mercial value during the year. The gold
product was the greatest in the history of
the country, exceeding that of 1898 by &c.

estimated product of 1853. the record year

States in 1899 was slightly greater than in

the year, on the London quotations, was
50 cents an ounce, as compared with 50

ton Bulwer treaty is. He thought it en-
tirely competent for this country TO pass
the Hepburn canal bill and proceed with
the canal independently of all treaties
either in force or pending.
Senator Spooner combatted the argu-
ments of Mr.. Culberson. He said he favored
the canal and believed the United States
should have the right to fortify and defend
il. but could not accept the view that we
should proceed in that great work in total
disregard of the existence of the agreement
of 1850. Great Britain, he said, is friendly
power, and he would not consent to any
ruthless proceedings. But he would go at
the work of preparing for the construction
in an orderly way, which would insure the
support and good will of a kindred people.
He was, therefore. an advocate of the pend
ing negotiation. He said that Great Britain
on three different occasions had approached
this country to secure the abrogation of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty, but on each occa-
sion the United States had declined the
overture. True. the proposition had been
acted on by the State Department without
consulting Congress, but at any rate the in
cidents at least indicated the English atti-
tude upon the question of abrogation.
Senator Lindsay spoke for the ratification
OF the treaty without further amendment.
He said he had even opposed the commit
tees amendment adopted yesterday be-
cause, TO his mind, the amendment is con-
cession to Great Britain which IL is un-
necessary to make. 1T comedies" he said.
that without the amendment Great Britain
would have the right to pass ships through
the canal in time of war, and L am not
willing to have the United States take that
position. L think the treaty would have
been stronger without the amendment"
Mr.. Lindsay also announced his willingness
to treat with Great Britain for the total
abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
Senator McCumber also favored ratifica-
ton of the treaty without amendment. Sem
ator Elkins repeated the views expressed
by him yesterday for absolutely independ-
ent action in the construction of the canal
and in the operations Of the United States
in Central America

Those who are opposed to the construc-
ton of the Nicaragua canal must be highly
pleased with the situation which the vote
on the Davis amendment to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty has brought to light
II the treaty should not be otherwise
amended the opinion is expressed that the
President might be able to obtain the ac-
quiescence Of the British government but
the friends of the treaty are fearful that
the treaty with the Davis amendment can
not receive the necessary two-thirds. There
is an element in the Senate favorable to
the abroge ton of the CIayton-Bulwer
treaty. Some of those who favor such
action are enemies of the canal and others
are the quiet supporters of the transconti-
mental railroads. If the Senate divides into
three or four factions regarding the policy
Bulwer treaty it may be expected that two
or three years may pass before majority
of Congress can agree upon the construc-
ton Of the Nicaragua canal.
At the last session the House bill was
passed, which ignores the compact entered
into in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. 1t as
sumes that the United States has the right
to construct the canal without the per-
mission of any other power or regard for
the provisions of treaties. This bill was
passed, it is fair to assume largely for
political effect. The chatter of an alliance
between the United States and Great
Britain and the baseless charge that the
administration followed the policy dictated
by the British government led Republicans
to support the House bill, the passage of
which the speaker labored to prevent Now
that that period of supposed political
necessity has passed there is reason to be-
Ieve that the Senate at least will not agree
to measure which ignores the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. Then there is the posi-
bility, if not the probability, that the Pres
ident would veto bill which ignored the
troublesome treaty.
These and other complications lead to the
conclusion that a Nicaragua canal bill will
not be passed during the present session.
In fact. unless there is an unlooked-for
change in the Senate the Nicaragua canal
is matter some way In the future

In regard TO the natural-gas controversy
the Chicago Tribune thinks the charges
made by Messrs. Benedict and Hastings
against the people of Indianapolis too
sweeping. 1T is not customary" says the
Tribune. Ito find any city made up alto
gether OF thieves, and there has hitherto
been no suspicion that Indianapolis was a
glaring exception TO the rule" II might
be added. 1t is not customary to find cor
porations actuated by philanthropic or even
equitable motives. The Tribune concludes
that If IT comes 10 a question of relative
merits between the company and the whole
population of indianapolis it will be safer
TO decide for the people" And in reaching
a decision it will be proper to consider
whether boring mixers to get gas already
paid for is any worse than boring into
peoples pockets to get money for gas paid

Hebrides, but They Are Too Far
Away-SpeciaI Pension Bills.
wAsHINGToN, Dec. 1A-About the on

WASHINGTON, Dec. H.-About the only
subject of popular interest discussed in
the very short Cabinet meeting to-day was
the llication of the Rev. James +. Hill.
of Cannonsburg, Pa, for governmental aid
In protecting native Christians in the New
Hebrides islands. The subject was brought
before the Cabinet by Secretary Long, 10
whom the application had been made for a
warship in behalf of the missionary inter-
ests. The islands lie about thousand
miles east of Australia and just north OF
New Caledonia. They have been under
divided French and British protectorate.
There was a general disposition on the part
of the Cabinet officers to do everything
proper and possible to meet the request OF
the missionary interests. But IL was found
to send a warship TO this out-of-the-way
part of the world would require trip OF
about 1900 miles from the nearest Amer
lean station. and the Navy Department
has no vessels now available for such pur-
pose. 1t was also reported that French
and British gunboats patrol these seas.
and doubtless would seek to prevent any
such attack on the native Christians as Is
said to have been planned.

THE SMOKE NUISANCE.

The smoke nuisance is already a serious
question in this city and is becoming more
serious every day. Just how many smoke
stacks there are in the business and dense
ly populated parts of the city, belching
forth their contributions to the impurity
OF the atmosphere, the Journal does net
know, but the number is much too great
and constantly increasing. Unless re-
stricted 1t may increase to an extent that
will be a serious detriment to business.
as it already is to comfort. Even now the
health and comfort of a great many peo-
pie who occupy downtown Offices are
seriously affected by the coal smoke and
SCOT that invade them in spite of all they
can do. The injury to business. already
appreciable, will increase with the number
of smokestacks. Dry goods, clothing no.
ticns and fancy stores will suffer more
and more. This condition should not con-
tinue. 1t is neither just nor reasonable
that any corporation, firm or individual
should be permitted TO maintain a public
nuisance of this kind. II is a principle
OF law that person may use his own
rights or property to the detriment of
others. An ancient Latin maxim, freely
translated, says: Use thy own only in
Every owner of a smokestack in the
densely populated part of city violates
this maxim. If the smoke and SCOT elected
from a chimney could be confined to the
upper area owned by its proprietor i.
would not be so bad. In that case every
sumner and enjoy to his hearts content
the smoke and SCOT of his own creation.
But the case is very different when the
smoke and SCOT manufactured by each in
G:vidual become the invaders of all his
neighbors. Any person can stand a puff

time is more than anybody should be asked
To submit to. This in effect is the demand
that every proprietor of smokestack
makes of his neighbors 10 a considerable
extent surrounding him. He demands
that in order to suit his business and his
convenience the business. the convenience

Der of people be ignored. Such a demand
has no justification in reason or equity.
and should have none in law. The smoke
nuisance is not defensible any grounds
II is an invasion of public as well as of
private rights, and those who maintain il
cannot present a single reason for it's
existence that does not apply to every
other offensive and injurious nuisance. 1t
should be abolished.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lf.-Throughout
nearly the entire legislative day the Sen
ate was in secret session discussing the
ayPauncefote treaty. No business of
importance was transacted in the brief
open session except the adoption of
the House resolution providing for a holl-
day recess to extend from Friday, Dec. p,
10 Thursday, Jan. B.
Pending motion by Mr.. Lodge that
the Senate proceed to the consideration
of executive. business a brief contention
precipitated over a phase of the Mon
tana senatorial case Mr.. Jones' of Ar
kansas, announced that he had been di-
rected by the committee on contingent ex-
penses to ask that a resolution pro-
viding for the payment of the ex-
pcnseS of an investigation of the claims
of William A. Clark and Martin Magin-
mis- TO seat in the Senate under appoint
ment of the Governor of Montana, be re-
ferred TO the committee on privileges and
elections, as it had not come from a stand
ing committee.
Mr.. Chandler, the chairman of that CON-
mittee. Immediately reported 1t back TO
the Senate and asked for it's adoption.
This was objected to on technical grounds,
but the resolution finally was referred to
the committee contingent expenses.
The Senate then, at 1850 d. M, went into
executive session upon the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty, and at 4:30 D. m. adjourned
until tomorrow.

smoldering ruins of the Fredonia State
Normal and Training School, which was
destroyed by fire this morning. one charred
body has been recovered. a revision Of
the list of missing makes 1t certain that
seven persons persisted in the fire, which
also entailed a property loss or 100000.
There were seventy-five young women stu

The young women occupied rooms on the
third floor. On this floor was also a
matron and fifty other young women, who
succeeded in escaping by the fire escapes.
The body which was recovered from the
ruins is supposed to be that of Miss

evidently lost his life while fighting the
fire. Miss Fizzen was at the head of the
fire escape and turned back into the burn
ing building to save a diamond ring, thus
losing her life. The others who persisted
suffocated without being able to find the
fire escapes. 1t is said that heavy wire
screens were firmly nailed across the win
dows leading TO the fire escapes, and the
only way the lucky ones escaped was by
crawling through windows adjacent to the
escapes and then creeping along the gutter
of the mansard roof. Lawyers say there
will be damage suits instituted against
the State because of the fire escape screens.
A search for remains is being made
rapidly possible, but digging over an
slow work. Principal Palmer estimates the
loss at $500, 900, with $4,000 insurance. Moth
