Coinage for the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE Cabinet
meeting to-day was largely devoted to a
discussion OF the question OF the coinage
for the Philippine islands, and as a result
it is probable the secretary of war will re-
quest a hearing on the subject before one
of the committees of Congress. Nearly
all of the business of the Islands is
transacted in Mexican dollars, and army
commissaries and others supplied with
United States money are at times greatly
embarrassed in making purchases from the
Filipinos by the fact that, knowing nothing
of our money or its value, the latter often
refuse TO accept 1t. The proposition which
seems to lave met with favor by the Cd
ministration is TO purchase silver bullion
at the present market price and coin IL into
distinctive dollars having a gold value of
about so cents each. These dollars. prob
ably, will contain a little less silver than
the present standard dollars. The scheme
has not yet been worked out in all of its
details. but as there is at present a govern
ment coinage mint In Manila, il is hoped
that by the early action of Congress the
new coins may be put into circulation be-
fore a great while. possibly before the win
ter is over.

Ohio Federation Split.

NEWARK, o., Dec. THE Ohio Fedora
ton of Labor invention came to a close
this afternoon under the storhiest condi-
tions which ever marked a session of the
body. Dayton. Mount Vernon, Newar and
Columbus delegates withdrew from the
convention and from the federation near
the close of the proceedings and at differ
ent times pandemonium reigned on the
floor. A peculiar condition existed in that
a minority of delegates had a majority of
votes, and in that manner controlled the
work of the body. 1t was during an attempt
TO amend the constitution TO do away with
this condition of affairs that the final walk
out occurred. The convention was once de-
clared adjourned, but was ~reconvened and
a vote taken on the foregoing proposition
and on its defeat the walk-out occurred.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Dec. ,7.-Harvard
defeated Yale for the third consecutive
time in the intercollegiate debate in San

for Harvard was Roscoe conkling Bruce.
who won the Coolidge prize in the trial
debate. and ~singularly the leader on the
Yale side was Frank III. Sincerbeaux. who
won the Thatcher prize at his college. The
question was:
Resolved. That the permanent retention
OF the Philippine islands by the United
States Is desirable"
Harvard had the affirmative. and her case
was substantially put together. while
lale's negative was constructively weak.
The former had a definite policy FOR the
government OF the Philippines. while Yaie's
plan was somewhat visionary. In rebuttal
Yale attacked Harvard's policy. yet this
attack was easily answered. Harvard
proved that the Philippines were incapable
or governing themselves, and this IN
capacity for encouragement was perma-
nent. Yale introduced evidence 20 show
the Filipinos were capable OF self-govern-
ment. but the speakers failed 10 support

Ice Making Plant in Operation for tn
Benefit of the People i'm Guam.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I'm a letter
Gated Oct. 10. 1900. the Governor of Guam
reports that the affairs of the island con-
tinue to prosper. The very friendly at
titude of citizens of all classes in the So
cial ceremonies attending the opening Of
the naval ice plant was most gratifying.
While not an affair Of great Importance
1t was an occasion or which many little
spontaneous acts indicated a feeling IF
respect and friendship for the flag and
for those supporting 1t on the island. Evil
dence of this good feeling appears with
increasing frequency. The financial con-
d;tion is improving, the receipts during the
quarter ending Sept 30 materially exceed
ing the expenditures for the same period
and this despite the fact that there has
lad to be a substantial increase in all sal
aries because of the increased expense of
lIvingl and an increase in the number Of
civil officials in order TO carry on an
efficient administration. 1t is believed
those in office are becoming imbued with
ar increased sense of responsibility.
The letter further states that the naval
station ice plant was put in operation on
Oct. 1 and a regular issue of ice has been
inaugurated 10 the various messes Of Of
ficers and men, TO the hospital and TO any
civilians for whom the medical officer may
prescribe 1t. The ability to keep meat n
few days after killing is more than a lux
TRY and the consequent Improvement In
the food cannot fail to have a good effect
on the health and yigor Of the command.

Mr.. Secretary-We do not come here to

our remarkable history"
The secretary replied as follows.
Mr.. Homer, Gentlemen and Associates

words of interpretation of What / have

less. IL has been my earnest purpose 10
conduct the affairs and the duties imposed
upon me as an officer of the government
impartially, justly and with the sole view
of preserving the interests OF the govern

The Selection of a Trustee

The popular tendency toward a Trust
Company as . trustee II easily found
when comparisons are drawn. Every one
has knowledge OF an individual trustee
who has defaulted and robbed those whom
he was appointed TO protect. No such ex-
rerience ever followed the appointment of
@ trust ompapy TO any such responsible

dfvidual there is no assurance that he will
live TO execute IL or that he will keep in
such health as will enable him TO give il
the proper attention. Unexpected mental
arrangements may come to him. and IL in
health he will need recreation. or he may
have business of his own that takes him
away from home at a time when the in
terests OF the trust demand his presence.
