SPECIAL FILIPINO COIN.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Secretary
Gage has devised currency scheme
for the Philippine islands which has
received the approval of the cabinet
and will be recommended to CON
gress with request from the presi-
dent for Legislation necessary to carry
it into effect. Trade just now Is
much embarrassed because of the scar
city of iheXican silver dollars which
for many years have been the stan
dard of value in all the East Indies.
This scarcity is due to the presence
OF $4,000 or 10000 foreign soldiers in
China, who have to be paid regularly
in the money of their own countries
and are compelled to change it for
Mexican dollars before it is of any
use to them. The Mexican govern
ment, realizing that the unusual de-
mand for dollars would soon embar-
rass business in that country, has
taken means to prevent further eypor-
tation, and the consequence is a rise
in their value and great scar
city everywhere.
1t thought best to provide special
coin for the Philippines of silver, he
cause they have always been accus-
toned to use that metal exclusively
and the disadvantages and difficulties
that would attend an attempt to in
trouduce our own system of currency
over there are so great that the
plan has been abandoned. 1t is pro.
posed therefore by Mr.. Gage to ask
| congress for authority to coin an un-
| limited number of Filipino dollars
bearing emblems of local Significance
and evidence that they were coined
| by the United States. Each of these
dollars, or whatever the coin may be
called. will contain As cents worth OF
silver bullion and they will be fur
nished in unlimited quantities to those
who are willing to pay so cents In
gold for them. They will also be re-
deemable in gold at the option of the
holder. The margin of cents is to
give an elasticity to the coin. which
will naturally advance the price OF
silver If it is issued in any great guam
tities.F These coins will be disbursed
by the government in the payment OF

face value, which is so cents in Amer
lean coin, and it is believed that they
will soon displace the Mexican dol
lars which contains little more sill
yer, and are therefore of greater in
trinsic value At the present price
of bullion the Mexican dollar is worth
about So cents. and the proposed dol
lar will be worth only As cents The
proposed change would absorb $1,000

SSIONAL.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Z. The
house continued the discussion of the
apportionment bill and the senate
wrangled over the army re-organiza-
ton bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. For the
rest of the session congress will be in
yolved in a labyrinth of figures all ere
ated for the ayowed purpose of illus
trating the reapportionment prob
lem. But most of them are twisted
about in such Il way as to throw the
whole subject into confusion. Sirce
the opening of the session members of
the house have been wallowing in sta
tistics of population. The average
member of congress has' become so
confused on the subject that he can
not possibly act intelligently. He
knows whether his state gains or los
es under some particular basis. but
how or why is beyond him. The de-
bate has proceeded far enough to
show that some members of the com
mittee which has had the matter in
charge are cropping in the dark. Few
members seem to have an accurate
idea of the mathematical problems in

ty charges the other with unconsti-

Fire Causes a Panic.

CHICAGO, Jan. Sire caused a
panic among the tenants of block H
in the McLennan flats. on the north
west corner of thiity-frst street and
South Park avenue, shortly after
o'clock this morning. Many Of them
were still in bed when smoke filed
the rooms. The elevators were rem
dered practically useless and when
those who We're awake had aroused
their sleeping neighbors the stairs
were burned away, almost precipitat-
ing them to the lower floor. Then an
other danger developed. The women
and children We're SO badly frightened
that they almost trampled each other
to death, but the cooler heads among
them managed to prevent a disaster.
Everyone reached the street in safety
and stood outside shivering with cold
many OF them only half clothed. while
the firemen extinguished the flames.
ROCHESTER,, N Y, Jan. S.
Twenty-one are known to be dead,
six are dying at the hospitals and
forty are injured as the result of the
burning early this morning of the
Rocheslef Ofphah Asylum, at liuD-
bell Park and Exchange street. In
the asylum all are believed to have
perished. Heartrending scenes
marked the conflagration. Many OF
the terrorstricken inmates, caught in
the death trap. leaped from the win
dows and had their limbs crushed and
broken on the pavement below. In
fants were thrown from the windows
to be dashed to death where they fell.
Firemen and volunteers performed
many deeds of heroism, riskng their
lives time and again. One fireman
entered the roaring furnace to drag
out small stupefied children. The ac-
tual loss of life is not yet known.
The identified dead now number
twenty-six. 1t Is feared the loss OF
life will reach forty.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. s.
Mrs. Henerkye Kamp, a middle-aged
woman, owns farm in Wyoming
township. The company that is build

land wishes to extend the road across

and the right of way through her farm
was condemned, the damages fixed
by the court being considerably less

the company.
When workmen came to lay the

guard with gun and scared them
away. The next day the track lay

Under this protection the rails were

Workmen were sent to her farm
this morning again to relay the track.
Scouts sent ou. in advance hurriedly
returned and reported that Mrs kamp
occupied an excellent strategic posi-.

and knife. Mrs. Kamp waited pre-
sumably until she saw the whites OF
the enemy's eyes, and then fired, but

retired,
An hour later four deputy sheriffs
were sent to the farm. Mrs. Kamp
spied them from afar and cleared for
action. Before they were within
shooting distance she opened fire, but
her bullets failed to hit the mark
