FILIPINO MONEY
Cabinet Decides TO Have q Spe-
cial Coin Made for Use in
the Islands.
Secretary of the Treasury Au-
thorized to Submit Plans
to Congress.
Estimated That Several Millions
in Silver Will Be Used
Each Month.

WASHINGTON, Jan. AT the last
cabinet meeting Secretary Gage was
authorized to prepare for presentation
to congress a scheme for the coinage of
Filipino dollar. The government had
to decide between putting the islands
on gold basis with new and ade-
quate supply Of silver money, or devils
ing some scheme for continuing th2
financial scheme on the present silver
basis, which is practically sustained by
Mexican silver dollars, the supply OF
which is to be cut off.
The matter was gone over at the
cabinet meeting and the silver basis
decided on. Mr.. Gage will recommend
that congress authorize the coinage of
q piece Of money which is to have
about the same standing as the old
trade dollar. It is not decided whether
to call it dollar or something else. 1t
Will Contain As Cents Worth of Silver
at the present price Of the white metal
The Mexican silver peso contains about
81 cents worth Of silver. Whether the
new money is to be put out at slight
profit is not clear. The coinage will
consume, if the present plans are
adopted, two or three million dollars
worth of silver month. 1t will con-
tinue to do so indefinitely.
Senator Towne was asked what he
thought of the scheme to keep the
Philippine islands on a silver basis. He
said he would rather not be inter.
viewed on the subject now, as he in
tended to make presen tation Of the
matter in the senate a little later and
did not care to anticipate his opinions
He said he was not quite familiar with
what the government proposed to do,
and would rather give the subject more
consideration

AN ILLEGAL COMBINATION.

Minneapolis Produce Exchange So Held
by the >upreme Court.
St. PAUL, Jan. THE supreme
court, in decision written by Justice
Lovely, declares the Minneapolis Pro.
duce Exchange to be a combination in
restraint of trade, prohibited by chap
ter 800, General Laws of 1899. The
action against the corporation was
brought by Conrad ]. Ertz. who was
not member.
The findings of the court are that the
organization regulates the credit to be
allowed its embers, discriminates in
the price to be paid for produce, con-
trolls the delivery of goods and provides
fines and penalties for offending and
defaulting members. Upon these find
ings the court holds that besides re-.
straining trade, the corporation tends
to limit and control the market price
of produce and limits and interferes
with the free and open purchase and
sale of commodities, offending against
the law cited.

 The Eureka Springs road will be sold at Eureka Springs on November 9 under foreclosure of the first mort gage by E. M. Bare, commissioner in chancery, as ordered by the circuit court of the western district of Car roll county, Ark. The property has been for some time operated by the St. Louis and North Arkansas railroad, which proposes to issue the securities in exchange for those of this com pany, and the step is presumably merely a legal formality to give a clear title to the successor company.
 At St. Louis this week George Gould stated that he had every reason to feel gratified with his fall inspec- tion trip, for he found the Missouri Pacific in excellent physical condi- tion. It is his ambition to make the Missouri Pacific and the Iron Moun- tain the Pennsylvania of the west and southwest in point of construction and maintenance, equipment and op- eration. The appropriation for inn provements had been judiciously ex- pended under able supervision, and the results were apparent all over the line. He was compelled to return to Iron Mountain property, but hoped to come out again shortly for that purpose.

ASLEEP ON THE TRACK.

Will Strickland, an Iron Mountain brakeman, met a horrible death early Tuesday morning a short distance south of Leeper. Strickland, who was breaking on the local, had been sent to the rear to flag oncoming trains, and sitting down on the track fell asleep, and was run over by No. 66.
 Strickland's body was horribly mangled and every bone was broken. A watch he carried in his pocket was crushed out of shape.
 The unfortunate young mans home was in Bonne Terre and he had been in the employ of the Iron Mountain for some time. He was about 2S years old and unmarried.
 This is the second fatal accident of the kind on the Iron Mountain within the past few months, and it is alleged, it was due to the hard work imposed on the train crews and the loss of sleep they suffer.
 Strickland'S remains were taken to Bonne Terre for Poplar Bluff Sentinel.

MT. Wm. E. Curtis, writing to the Chicago Record, says: "A business man of Philadelphia told me that Mir. Wanamaker's profits from his Phila- delphia store last year were over over $1, 750,000, and that those from his New York establishment will run close to that figure. The Saturday before Christmas receipts in New York exceeded $5OO,OOO. The New York store has paid profit from the very day it was opened, although two firms which occupied the establish ment since A. T. Stewards death have failed. The reason for MT. Wana- makers great success, both in New York and Philadelphia, is his skillful and extensive advertising. It has been his rule to confine his advertis- ing to newspapers and magazines"
