PORTO RlCAN MONEY
Arrangements for Its Retirement All
Co.nn!cte.


WASHINGTON, April 19.-The Treasury
; Department has completed the arrange
ments for the retirement of Porto Rican
money and the substitution of American
currency. James a. S.nlSle, the chief OF
the issue division OF Treasurer Roberts
office, rand W. p. Watson. of New York,
an expert accountant, have been selected
to go TO Porto Rico to make the exchange
and will leave before May first.
The work is TO be done under the Porto
Rican bill recently passed by Congress,
which provides for the retirement OF tne
Porto Rican peso and all other money
on the island and the exchange therefor
of American money.
1t is estimated that there are 10GG0,00a
pieces of silver and other metallic cur
rency in the island and now in cireula-
ton. These pieces are worth 9,eo0,Voo
pesos. Congress has decid5i that the ex-
change shall be made on the basis OF 60
cents for the pesos. About S3.GG9000 of
American money will, therefore, be re-
CURED TO take up allNthe minor money in
Porto Rico. The tirsts Shipment of AIuerl-
can money will be made TO tEIa island be-
tween now and May first by an army
transport and the Porto Recan money
will be brought back here as it is taken
UP and received.
The exchange will be made largely
through the Porto Rican banking and
business institutions. 1t will be a long
time before all of TIE Porto Rican money
is turned in, but the bulk of ii. probably.
will so out OF circulation within fe~=
months
Treasurer Roberts says he will send
gold. silver certificates and subsidiary
coins to Porto Rico to replace the pesos
and other Coins. The silver certificate is
the only form of United States currency
which will be used at present in the ISL
and The amount of each kind CT money
tn be sent at once is as follows:
Minor coins, $1,000; subsidiary silver,
$50 GEO. silver certificates, Sa61,Ga9, and gold

the location was made.
Mr. Spooner, of Wisconsin, opposed the
amendment and declared that the charges
made against an army officer could have
nothing whatever 10 do with the question
at issue. He said the Carter amendment
might greatly injure the American MIN
ers now operating in Canada. 1t was re-
troactive legislation and abhorrent in
every way.
ar Tillman urged Congress to take no
action that might deter the Fins from
leaving Russia and settling in Alaska
thus affording good population for the
district.
The bill was laid aside, and after brief
executive session the Senate. at 5 p. NJ,
adjourned.

THE VIRGINIA BOND CASE
The Work of Getting IL Jury Was Be
gun NeSIcsi!ay

gun Yesterday.
NEW YORK, April 19-What is known
as the Virsinia-bond forgery case came
up for trial to-day, when Julius Schroe-
ter, a manufacturer, of Forest Fill, \. j.,
was placed on trial for forgery in the
first degree before Judge Newburger, in
general sessions. Schroeder is charged
with forging the names of D. Z. Reveisy.
Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Nir-
ginia, and II. II. Dyson, Second Auditor
of the State to a bond of the issue Of
1852. which he is also accused of having
hypothecated. Schroeder is alleged 10
have got hold of bonds of the Common
wealth of Virginia, and raised 100000 on
them.
In February, 1882, the Commissioners of
the Sink ns Fund OF. the State of Nir-
ginia voted to purchase bonds. and orders
were sent to the Kimball BaniS-Note Conf
pany for them. The bonds were never
issued. and the package was sent to the
kimball Company'ss warehouse.
Two or three years later the package
was sold with other paper.
Last November Schroeder visited the
office of Iadanberg. Thalman & Co..
where ne saw Paul Lichtcnstein, an
empioye. Lchtenstein says Schroeder
offered ffty-sfx of the Virginia bonds,
representing $4,000 face value, as secu-
rity for loan of Si0.GG0. One of these
bpnds-No 49, payable July /, 1882. and
reCieemable July, 1S00-is that on which
the specific charge against Schroeder was
paid $2S,G00 in one check, and $4,000 in
two checks later.
Further allegations are that Schroeder
visited the Importers and Traders Bank.
and got rid of bonds for S5G,o0H ard that
he got S2nGn1 from the Seaboard National!
Bank. The work of getting a Jury was
begun to-day.

ScurVY.

Science has come to the conclusion
that scurvy is caused by the impover-
ished condition of the blood, and that,
in turn, is caused by poor food, and
especially by tainted meat. 1t used to
be considered that scurvy was caused
by the want of fresh vegetables or lime
juice, but it is known now that the eat
ing Of salted or improperly preserved
meat or tainted meat in any form can
produce scurvy even when lime juice
or vegetables are being taken at the
same time.

Such is the Reason Given by

the Strike.

Steps are being taken bye the Rhode
Island Mule spinners association to no.
tify the members throughout the coun-
try OF the fact OF the strike at the mill
of the American Yarn company, Paw
tucket, which opened yesterday. There
have not been any plckets posted near
the mills, and probably there will not be
any.
There are five spinners out. all being
members of the union, but the doffer and
four back boys still remain in the mill
II is claimed by the spinners that the
wages paid are about 30 points below
the standard rate. which amounts TO
about 81 per week. The management
says that in spite OF the strike the mules
are running. but the spinners profess not
TO believe this statement.
A meeting was held last night TO take
steps for carrying on the strike To a
finish, and for paying the five spinners
the dues To which they are entitled un-
der the laws OF the union during their
idleness.
The management of the mill declines
TO be interviewed.
